This is an iHeart Podcast.
Trapped behind enemy lines.
Day number 31.
31.31 Americans held hostage to the whims of the Taliban behind enemy lines.
We don't have an exact number even yet.
And Blinken making a total complete, utter fool of himself all day.
But don't worry, Joe Biden has just pledged 64 million dollars in aid to Afghanistan.
Oh, aid to Afghanistan.
How about they return our military equipment before we give them everything?
How about they return every American citizen and their family members first?
How about all the Afghan allies that you abandoned?
How about everybody that Joe abandoned before we give one penny to a country run by a terrorist organization?
They have to comply with our rules.
Where's all your leverage, Joe?
Because this looks an awful like to some sort of, we're gonna call it aid.
Sounds like ransom to me, because when it ends up in the hands of the Taliban, I doubt the money's gonna make its way and trickle its way down to the people of Afghanistan.
We have a major breaking story as it relates to the Joint Chiefs Chairman, General Mark Milley.
Um, the headline here in in now numerous stories all over the place is that General Mark Milley, quote, protected nuclear weapons from being launched by a rogue Trump.
Apparently, this is going to be in Bob Woodward's new book, and he took the steps to prevent now that we have one commander-in-chief.
We don't we don't have commanders in chiefs.
We have a commander-in-chief.
That is a duly elected president of the United States.
Our constitution, this is not an issue that is ambiguous in any way, shape, or form.
Um, and you know, this would result almost immediately if this all turns out to be true, is that Milley going rogue.
Uh it you know, it's called insubordination.
He'd be court-martialed and probably spend time in jail, and we're gonna see what happens as this goes forward.
Anyway, Woodward, uh writing with his Washington Post colleague Robert Costa, the name of the book is Peril.
It's coming out, I guess, in a week or two.
And uh apparently Woodward and Costa report that Milley took top secret action to limit the president of the United States, Donald Trump, from ordering a dangerous military strike or launching nuclear weapons.
So, like a coup against the sitting president of the United States because you didn't like his views on the election results.
Anyway, they write that Millie was deeply shaken by the assault, was certain that Trump had gone into a serious decline in the aftermath of the election, with Trump now all but manic, screaming at officials, constructing his own alternate reality and endless election conspiracies, and Millie worried that Trump would go rogue uh according to the authors.
You never know what a president's trigger is, Millie told the senior staff.
And then Milley apparently took uh extraordinary action and called a secret meeting in the Pentagon, his Pentagon office to review the process for military action, including launching nuclear weapons and speaking to senior military officials in charge of the National Military Command Center, the Pentagon's war room, instructed them not to take orders from anyone unless he's involved.
He's not the commander-in-chief.
That would be completely uh unconstitutional.
That would be reason for court martial and a trial.
Rogue insubordination.
What we're just gonna hand it over to this unelected uh general.
He takes the reins of power away from the president unilaterally.
That might be called a coup in other places.
Anyway, no matter what you're told, you do the procedure, you do the process.
I'm part of that procedure, he said.
Telling the officers, according to this book, he then went around the room, looked each officer in the eye, and asked them verbally to confirm that they understood.
Since leaving office, so you know there's been a tough relationship here, but um the chain of command is clear.
The commander-in-chief is the duly elected president of the United States.
Now they have a process called the 25th Amendment.
May have to invoke it one day sooner than we think.
Who knows?
Anyway, um, it would be all of the things that I'm saying.
And then it even goes further in this book.
And that is that Milley intended to tip off China.
The communist Chinese, an enemy, a hostile regime, a hostile nation.
Now, this book claims, according to these reports now, the Washington Post is now reporting it.
That's Woodward's paper, so I assume it's correct, that Milley promised his Chinese counterpart that he would tip him off ahead of time if Trump ordered a nuclear attack.
Okay, that would be so explosive that that would result in an immediate resignation, court martial, et cetera, and probably more.
Woodward, uh, apparently, you know, he's made some pretty incredible claims before, but the Washington Post is reporting twice in the final months of the Trump administration.
The country's top military officer was so fearful the president's actions might spark a war with China.
I don't even remember Trump talking about China during this time.
That he moved urgently to avert armed conflict.
Pair of secret phone calls, General Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, assured the Chinese, his Chinese counterpart of the People's Liberation Army that the United States would not strike, according to a new book by Woodward and Costa.
One call took place October 30th, 2020, four days before the election.
And one on January 8th, two days after what had happened on January 6th.
The first call was prompted by Milley's review of intelligence, suggesting the Chinese believed the U.S. was preparing to attack.
That belief, the author's right, was based on tensions over military exercises in the South China Sea and deepened by Trump's belligerent rhetoric towards China.
Well, by the way, that belligerent rhetoric resulted in the best trade deal America ever had with China.
Sorry, just to be honest.
Anyway, I want to assure you the American government is stable.
Everything's going to be okay.
We're not going to attack or conduct any kinetic operations against you.
Millie went so far as to pledge he would alert China.
In the event of a U.S. attack stressing the rapport they'd established through a back channel.
You and I have known each other for five years.
If we're going to attack, I'm going to call you ahead of time.
It's not going to be a surprise.
Wow.
I want to get the evidence and details in this book.
That's a hell of a tease for a book coming out, but we'll see.
If we're going to attack, I'm going to call you ahead of time.
Now, it's going to be interesting.
The media is probably going to love this.
The mob, the media, liberal Democrats, they're not going to care.
Because as long as they do it to Donald Trump.
Now let me ask you.
What if there was a military member that said that Joe Biden is so cognitively, such a cognitive mess that they do that to Biden?
What does that do to the stability of a country?
Do you see how deep and profound this gets very quickly?
All right, that's something we're going to be talking a lot about.
We got a lot of ground to cover.
Oh, did you see AOC's dress?
We'll get into that today too.
Biden is now giving 64 million in aid to Afghanistan.
I would call it ransom money, but what do I know?
I was born in New York.
Why would you give 64 million without any conditions?
Demand the release of every American still trapped behind enemy lines that you abandon, Joe.
Before you give a penny, why don't you demand our military equipment back that you stupidly left there?
Before giving 64 million of our taxpayer dollars, you know, why don't you give us answers?
You know, was the New York Times and Washington Post right?
Did you kill an aid worker and lie to the American people and say you got a member of ISIS that you wouldn't give us the name to?
That was on his way to commit an act of terror at Kabul or Karzai International Airport.
I mean, you see how off-kilter this all gets?
And more damning evidence Biden's not in charge of his own presidency.
I can't, I can't answer the questions because they get mad at me and everything.
I won't get my ice cream before I go night night.
Anyway, the uh viewers apparently of this briefing in Idaho about fires out there were perplexed because uh the White House, whoever controls whoever the puppeteers are, we don't know who they are, cut off Joe Biden's mid-sentence as he was about to ask a question.
As you know, apparently the National Association State Forresters allowed the president to ask his question, but as he was preparing his question, the White House cut to a screen, thanking people for watching.
Viewers were clearly confused why Biden's question was cut.
You know why it was cut?
Because his staff knows he's a cognitive mess.
And they're trying to hide it and cover it up as best they can, and they're not doing a very good job of it.
I mean, earlier today, another cognitive mess and coughing fit from Biden out in California.
You know, even by the way, this is amazing.
Joe Biden's media protectors, they won't call the Americans he abandoned in Afghanistan hostages.
Now we had Darrell Issa on last night.
He I said, Do you stand by your belief that there are over 500 Americans behind enemy lines hostage to the whims of the Taliban?
Yes, he yes, he does.
And he is up to his eyeballs.
This much I can tell you, in efforts to save Americans.
This guy's not sleeping.
There are a lot of them.
I'm talking to all of them.
There's going to be stories of heroism that you will hopefully hear soon.
But there are people that are risking their lives that we can't talk about.
But 45 residents of Connecticut, trapped behind enemy lines.
They say that's exactly what they feel like.
They feel like hostages.
This is from the Hartford Current.
You know, I bet you haven't heard about the 45 hostages from Connecticut who've been held against their will for nearly a month now because the Biden media, they're all pretending this is not happening.
From the Hartford Current.
Top officials called Monday for the State Department to help free 45 Connecticut residents stuck in Kabul as they seek to flee Afghanistan.
Now we know why Richard Blumenthal was so outspoken and mad because it's from his state.
He said he will continue to push State Department officials to seek the release.
They have no leverage, Senator.
They abandoned your citizens.
They abandoned people from your state.
You ought to be pissed off.
Lumenthal, he's going to continue to work with the State.
State Department, they don't you not hear this guy blinking?
We'll go through this later.
He's an idiot.
A blithering dope.
The group includes American citizens, green card holders, traveled to Afghanistan for family weddings, funerals, unaware the country would fall into the hands of the Taliban.
It's harrowing, it's horrific, it's increasingly urgent and desperate.
These folks have been in hiding.
He said in an interview, the whole country's running out of food, but especially people in hiding.
The delays in their departure are due because the state of confusion in the Taliban and the 45 Connecticut residents could represent an even higher number when extended families are included.
That's just one state.
Taliban adopts these, you know, you know, rub out their U.S. allies strategy now.
They're also conducting door-to-door searches for U.S. passport holders.
And every day now we're getting reports of women being beaten and people being murdered.
Every single day, including the beheading we talked about yesterday, the four others that were beaten, one of the four actually tortured, had their fingernails ripped.
They shot him in the head.
Great job, Joe.
But they're very professional and business like.
That we know.
Because they keep telling us that.
Very professional and business like Taliban terrorists.
Lincoln has got his head handed to him today in the Senate.
Well, we'll be playing some of it throughout this program and tonight on Hannity.
Daily Mail report, Taliban is carrying out reprisal attacks against former soldiers and government workers.
We've been telling you they're actually murdering them.
We have more video emerging, Islamist fighters forcing young men into car trunks in the capital of Kabul.
Let me make a prediction.
They'll never be seen or heard from again.
Other footage showing militants beating, whipping people on the streets, especially women, it seems, as reports emerge of targeted killings and fighters going door to door looking for blue U.S. passports.
Even the human rights council, officials who work for previous administrations, their family members are being arbitrarily detained, she said.
In some cases, the officials were released, and others they were found dead.
Everything we told you, footage of merging of men who appear to be Taliban fighters, bundling other men into the car trunks in Kabul.
Everything we told you was happening, was gonna happen, is happening.
UN staffers also reporting about the increasing attack.
Then why are we giving them 64 million dollars?
How stupid are they?
What are you getting in exchange for your 64 million?
Blinken had to admit after, you know, he got hammered by Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio and Rand Paul today.
Blinken admitting, yeah, um, we didn't see this coming.
The only reason they didn't see it coming is you had to be blind and stupid.
Because they'd been on the march for months, taking over large portions of the entire country.
You know, I keep showing the dates with the time lapse, and everybody knew what was going on in the Islamic emirate of Afghanistan.
So now we're gonna send them basically ransom money and get nothing in in response.
Then Blinken tries to blame Trump.
Well, we in we inherited um we inherited a date, but not a plan.
Well, you inherited energy independence and you blew that, and now you're begging OPEC.
You inherited secure borders and you blew that too.
You inherited a good economy and you blew that also.
You inherited strength and a perception of American strength around the world, and you totally blew that to pieces.
So don't blame Donald Trump because you uh you know made an complete Adam Schiff out of this.
The Adam Schiff show there.
Thanks to all of you.
Always concerned for our country, always honoring our servicemen and service women, and standing up for liberty every day.
25 to the top of the hour.
Well, it is uh newsome recall day.
I don't think we'll have any results probably for weeks.
I guess that they they allow what, an extra 19 days for people to correct their ballots, and just insane laws.
I'm telling everybody you need to insist that your state adopt election integrity laws, voter ID, signature verification, chain of custody controls, updated voter rolls every election, and partisan observers get to watch the vote count up close and personal, start to finish.
Just let's start there.
Blinken just, you know, this whole blame game is is just based on a lie, which is we inherited a deadline.
We didn't inherit a play plan.
Well, the deadline was May.
You extended the deadline, you own the deadline.
That's your deadline.
Because the Taliban, you know, you you want to blame the Donald Trump did have a plan to keep the Grom Air based, which you gave up.
His plan was, and again, release the calls.
I'm urging on Joe Biden and Blinken and the rest of these idiots, the gang that can't shoot straight, the the dummies that have no business being in control of anything.
Uh, you want to blame Donald Trump?
Put out the transcript of Trump talking to the head of the Taliban.
Because I have more sources confirming to me again and again and again and again that he said, understand before we even talk about a deal.
If you don't follow every dotted eye, cross T, and period, I will obliterate you.
Do you understand?
And it came up again and again and again.
And that's why not a single American died the last year of Trump's presidency in 18 months, actually, total.
And anyway, but this this is the mantra.
Blame Donald Trump.
He was he was faced a choice between ending the war, escalating.
No, it wasn't.
When you had control of Kabul in March, April, May, June, July, instead of lying, saying this is the best trained military, you could have easily, safely, securely evacuated every American, every Afghan ally, and all of our military equipment, the $80 billion that you admitted to Ron Johnson that the Taliban now has.
So stop making excuses.
Donald Trump's plan was also based on conditions on the ground.
And if those conditions were met, Biden extended it.
You know, you know, choosing September 11th so he could deliver his peace in our time.
Neville Chamberlain Moments speech on the 28th anniversary of the 9-11 attacks where he ended up getting booed.
Along the way, he ignored a question from Greg Meeks of all people on how many green card holders are still stranded in Afghanistan.
Lee Zeldon pushing him later, saying, What's your best estimate?
And he said, Well, several several thousand green card holders.
That's several thousand Americans.
You wait.
Couldn't answer what they did in response to the so-called State Department dissent cable from July warning Afghan's government could collapse quickly.
This is while Joe Biden is saying this is one of the best trained armies in the world.
He couldn't answer whether the U.S. government is negotiating with the Taliban to allow flights, you know, believed to be carrying dozens of Americans and other Afghan allies out of the country today.
Couldn't even answer it.
Whether the U.S. will recognize the Taliban as a legitimate government.
Well, they're very professional and businesslike.
You mean like the people they're beheading and holding up the heads and the other people that they're pulling out their fingernails and killing, or the women that they're beating in the streets that we have videos of?
Is that professional and business like?
He can't couldn't answer whether Americans left behind were being mistreated, and I have no idea.
Well, watch Hannity.
We're showing it every night.
Stay 31.
You abandon our fellow Americans and our allies behind enemy lines, and those allies are showing up dead every single day, and it gets worse and worse and worse.
We inherited a deadline.
We didn't inherit a plan.
You inherited secure borders.
You inherited energy independence.
You inherited a good economy.
You inherited low energy prices.
So you don't cut the crap.
Just a line of total Adam bullshit.
Said it right.
Notice how I studded there a little.
Blinken admits this Taliban is holding 100 Americans against their bill.
Okay.
Now, everybody else says that's wrong.
Mark Meadows said it right.
This is a hostage crisis.
Secretary of State is acknowledging the charter flights are still being prevented from leaving.
They have been charter flights that have been there for some time.
They're not allowed to leave, and Blinken acknowledges it.
So, okay, we have a hundred Americans at least.
I'm not even talking about the people from Connecticut or the others or other family members or the thousands of green card holders.
So those are American citizens that wish to leave the country and can't.
That is called the hostage crisis by very definition.
He's getting killed before the Senate today.
Where do we get to the tape tonight on Hannity?
We'll turn it around for you.
You know, then got tongue-tied over the Hunter Biden question.
I showed that last night.
This guy does not, this man is honestly so ill-equipped to be a Secretary of State.
It is it's shocking.
Just like Fauci is a disaster.
Oh, I think we're no, we're never going to mandate vaccines, but yeah, I think we're going to have to mandate them.
Unbelievable.
And here at home, we see what's going on every single day.
You know, this Bernie Sanders, remember the Bernie Sanders Biden manifesto?
Yeah, this is now the reality that's Going on here.
You got Congresswoman Ocasio Cortez, the real Speaker of the House at the Met Gala wearing a beautiful dress that reads Tax the Rich.
Well, apparently, I gotta find this in my pile here.
Apparently, this gown is worth between 30 and 35,000.
Sounds like a gown for rich people.
The American themed Met Gala.
Individual tickets were 35 grand and table started at 200 grand.
Who paid for her ticket?
Did she pay for a ticket?
And if she paid for a ticket, I she was complaining that her mother doesn't have enough financial support.
Why didn't you give the money to your mom?
You know, tax the rich $30,000 a ticket.
Well, how ironic.
Tax the rich.
Tax the rich, tax the rich, tax the rich.
Pretty soon the rich don't have any more money to tax.
Socialism great until you run out of other people's money.
And Biden now looking to sell his climate agenda.
Now he's looking to go back to the whole filibuster deal and eliminate the filibuster because it's not going very well.
And both Manchin and Cinema seem to be holding the line, but I wouldn't count on that in any way.
Then you have the Senate parliamentarian pushing Democrats for more details on their immigration plan because they're trying to shove amnesty in this 10,000 page monstrosity.
And I mean 10,000 pages.
And why did they cut off the Biden feed when he was asked about wildfires in the briefing that he had there?
Biden claims his first job offer was from an Idaho lumber company.
They checked with the Idaho Lumber Company, and apparently it's news to them.
Linda, what happened when I said I worked at the uh Blount Marine in Warren, Rhode Island?
Didn't the Blount Marine family get in touch with us and said holy?
They called the show.
They said, holy Adam Schiff.
He really did work here.
I don't know that they said that, but they called the show.
Well, they said it one way.
Inflation expectations continue to climb, according to the New York Fed.
That's bad.
That means you pay more for everything.
Top earning New Yorkers now will face 61.2% combined tax rate under the House plan.
That's let me explain living in New York.
That's 61 plus cents out of every dollar I make that goes to the government, and that's only the taxes that they're calculating, not the hidden taxes.
Want to talk about elitism?
You know, $30,000 to step in the door, and then we got all these extravagant gowns and tax the rich.
Who paid for who paid for Congresswoman Ocasio Cortez's ticket?
How did she get in?
Was it a gift?
Tax the rich.
You know, oh, okay, but we're going to party at the most extravagant over the top party of the year.
It's unbelievable.
I thought they I thought they hated capitalism.
You can't afford $30,000 a ticket.
How many of you would ever spend $30,000 a ticket to go to a gala?
I paid $30,000 not to go to the gala and put on that stupid, you know, tuxedo they want me to wear.
House Democrats unveiling their plan to raise taxes on everybody and everything that they can get their hands on.
You know, literally, you know, we're going to increase the corporate tax.
We're going to increase every single tax out there.
Surtax, tax the rich tax.
You know, and we still have a $3 trillion, well, $2.71 trillion deficit just for this year.
And the fiscal year doesn't end until October.
So now they propose $3 trillion in new taxes on working families and small businesses when you actually break it down.
Because I hate to tell you that corporations don't pay taxes.
I keep telling you that.
By the way, U.S. federal state tax rate under the Democrats plan is $31%.
You know what it is in communist China on communist China?
Yeah, $25%.
You think corporations are going to just take on that tax?
They're going to increase the capital gains tax to nearly 30%.
There's 16.5% global minimum tax.
It's still going to be worthwhile for businesses to bring their business abroad.
They're going to increase the death tax.
Family-owned businesses and farms will be lost.
A 95% excise tax on medicines and social uh health care.
$80 billion.
By the way, they're paying $80 billion for new IRS agents.
Don't worry.
You don't have to worry.
I'm already covered on that part.
Because I just have my I have my my oh, Hannity, bingo, pull it pretty much every year.
It gets pulled.
So I have my first accounting firm that does it.
Then I send it to my lawyer's accounting firm.
They redo my taxes before I could ever sign my tax.
I can't do it because I don't have a clue how to do taxes.
Is that true or false, Linda?
You know for a fact.
Yeah, it's pretty true.
Pretty true.
You know it's true.
Well, you're a very smart guy, like you're good at business, but you know, we need professionals.
Okay, but it's not that.
Is that my own accounting firm isn't good enough?
Then they bring in a second accounting firm to double check the work of the first accounting firm and make sure every I is dotted T is crossed.
I wonder who Hunter Biden uses.
Well, you have the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.
This was a great moment of clarity.
He said, uh publicizing tax increases too soon gives the opposition time to build.
Now that the details are out, we see what he means.
Manchin confirms he won't vote for Biden's 3.5 trillion woke infrastructure bill.
And there's a big fight within Democratic ranks now that they're gonna have to lower this.
Apparently, Kristen Cinema is running around with a PowerPoint trying to show every person possible that you know that you can't raise it at this kind of rate.
By the way, Kamala Harris tweeted out, we'll get into this later in the program today with Dr. Joel Zimberg.
She press she put out there a tweet.
By vaccinating the unvaccinated, increasing our testing masking on protecting the vaccinated, we can end the pandemic.
Excuse me, maybe this is a dumb question.
Wasn't protecting yourself from COVID getting the vaccination?
Wasn't that what the vaccine was supposed to do?
I mean, it just, you know, isn't that what they told you it was going to do?
Now we have people all over the place, CDC and elsewhere.
Now they're they're resigning.
Because they don't agree with these booster shots.
Nobody seems to want to cover that little nugget in the news.
Why are they resigning?
Former Harris advisor criticizes the White House COVID procedures.
How come you never hear about that in the media?
You know, it's uh quite the headline from the Atlantic.
Our most reliable pandemic number is losing meaning.
A new study suggest almost half of those hospitalized with COVID have milder asymptomatic cases, but there's a still a 300% increase in cases from last year.
It's just unbelievable.
Fauci on the threshold for herd immunity.
You'll know it when you see it.
Oh, okay.
That's very, very comforting.
Here's an interesting nugget that I found.
Well, first Congress has exempted themselves from Biden's COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
Of course they're gonna exempt themselves.
Why would they put the same burdens on themselves that they put on us?
Now there's a guy by the name, and I saw this in the Epic Times, Robert Malone.
I found this article fascinating.
He actually invented the mRNA vaccine technology.
And the headline is natural immunity longer lasting than protection from COVID-19 vaccines.
The guy that invented that that's Pfizer, that's the Moderna vaccines.
J and J is the old style.
Johnson and Johnson.
Anyway, the the immunity, this article goes on to say by recovering from COVID, in other words, you got COVID, you have natural immunity, is better than the protection afforded by COVID-19 vaccines, according to the prominent vaccine inventor.
In other words, it and he cites Israel research that found people in the country vaccinated with Pfizer's COVID-19 shot were 13 times more likely to contract Delta, uh, the Delta variant, and 27 times uh more at risk for symptomatic disease compared to those that actually had natural immunity and had contracted COVID-19.
It goes on to say, quote, it's now been shown in that paper and others the breadth of that immune response in terms of T and B cell memory populations is more diverse, more long lasting than the breadth of immune response elicited by the spike-based vaccines alone.
Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of the MRNA vaccines.
I mean, he actually said it on Epic TV's American thought leaders.
But again, I always go back to please talk to your doctor.
I'm not a doctor.
I'm just passing on information.
Do your research.
I put on people of all different opinions, so you get to decide.
Make good decisions for yourself and your family.
Take this sucker seriously.
Because it's it's I've seen the worst of this thing.
Biden, by the way, was just greeted with booze in California while campaigning with Newsom.
How funny is that?
All right, it is uh Dump Gavin Newsom Day out in California.
I know the odds are uh are not in favor of question one, but don't give up.
It's worth a shot.
Leo 2.0 Terrell gives us uh what's going on in the ground.
Dr. Joel Zimberg on the creator of the MRNA saying natural immunity is better, also coming up.
Export Selection
