Who's Coming From Afghanistan? - September 14th, Hour 3
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
This is an iHeart podcast.
All right, news roundup information overload hour 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, we got a lot of ground to cover.
One of the things that we've discovered is that a lot of refugees, there was a story out of Wisconsin, one of the army posts there, where unvetted Afghanis are literally, they have free reign, the total freedom to go anywhere that they want to go.
Now, we did make a commitment to if the day ever came that people's lives would be in jeopardy, that we would get our Afghan allies 20 years now out of Afghanistan.
We didn't say necessarily we'd bring them all here, but we promised to get them out and we left them behind.
And now the reports are daily.
They're dying.
It's pretty unbelievable.
It's actually beyond shocking.
I've never seen one of the worst foreign policy unmitigated disasters.
You know, Blinken admitting again today, yeah, we left people behind enemy lines.
We abandoned Americans.
When did you ever think that would happen?
Anyway, this idiot Blinken, grilled now two days in a row, is grilled by Scott Perry over this disastrous withdrawal.
Let's listen in.
Mr. Blinken, assuming it's not classified, can you tell us where you are today?
Yes, I'm at the State Department.
Couldn't be bothered to come down here and see Congress.
All right, that's great.
How many Afghan citizens came to the United States that have not met the qualifications for special immigrant visa?
We're in the process.
I don't know how many crew.
How many?
How many did you bring?
You were just at Dulles.
How many did you bring?
We will have, by the end of the month, we will have brought a total of approximately 60,000 that have not met the SIV process.
Some of those will have been through the SIV process.
Are Afghan refugees required to be vaccinated for COVID before coming to the United States of America?
They are vaccinated in the United States before they are resettled.
You just can't make this up.
They don't know.
He can't even give us an answer how many Americans are still behind enemy lines held hostage.
Although now he's finally admitting, yeah, we have no control over it.
I'm like, well, what happened?
We have all the leverage.
Ron Johnson was grilling down on Blinken and Blinken testifies that $80 billion of our equipment is in the hands of the Taliban.
I thought the great fact checkers out there said, oh, no, it's nowhere near that amount of money.
Well, apparently it is.
Approximately, what is the dollar value of the equipment that's been left behind that now the Taliban controls?
What's the dollar value of that?
Senator, I believe the equipment provided over the last 20, well, less than 20 years, 15 years, was about $80 billion of that equipment that remains.
As you know, it was given some of the Afghan security forces.
And of course, some of that is now in the hands of the Taliban.
No, most of it is in the hands of the Taliban.
Because when you had an opportunity in March and April and May and June and July, when the Taliban was basically dropping the great, well-trained Afghan army in every city and province and geographical area all throughout Afghanistan, they didn't lift a finger.
It's unbelievable when we could have extracted, withdrawn every American safely, every ally safely, all of our military equipment safely, or at least handed it off to the resistance in the north.
Now it's being used to kill everybody.
And then, by the way, Blinken says, well, I don't know if we droned an aid worker or ISIS-K terrorists.
You had the Washington Post and the New York Times reporting, remember that big Taliban, that big drone strike, supposedly taking out a high-ranking ISIS-K figure that was back on the way to the airport to commit another act of terror?
Yeah, it turns out it was an aid worker, according to the New York Times and Washington Post.
Somebody there that was helping with nutrition for Afghanis.
Oh, N7 children also killed by Biden's drone strike.
Listen.
The guy the Biden administration droned, was he an aid worker or an ISIS-K operative?
The administration is, of course, reviewing that strike.
And I'm sure that a full assessment will be for you.
So you don't know if it was an aid worker or an ISIS-K operative?
I can't speak to that, and I can't speak to that in this setting in any event.
So you don't know or won't tell us?
I don't know because we're reviewing it.
Well, see, you'd think you'd kind of know before you off somebody with a predator drone whether he's an aid worker or he's an ISIS K. You think you would know ahead of time between, are you killing children and an aid worker?
Are you killing an ISIS-K guy?
Yeah, we kind of got an indication when they wouldn't identify who it was that they said they took out, that they knew who they took out.
And imagine if Donald Trump did it.
And then you got Blinken saying, you know, thousands of U.S. legal permanent residents are in Afghanistan.
In other words, this is what Darrell Ice has been saying.
Not only do we have 500 people at his office identified behind enemy lines, when you add their family members, oh, yeah, the number is much higher.
How many of them, approximately, you said we don't know the exact number, but how many legal permanent residents are we convinced are still in Afghanistan?
We don't have an exact number, but it's around number thousands.
Pardon?
In the thousands.
Anyway, joining us now to discuss, we have former senator and now gubernatorial candidate for the state of Pennsylvania, Lou Barletta.
And also with us is Dr. I'm sorry, Congressman Andy Biggs of Arizona.
Let's talk to you.
You're running for the great state of Pennsylvania to be governor.
Lou, you're watching this unfold from a foreign policy perspective.
I can't think of a more unmitigated disaster than this, especially knowing the time we had full control to get everybody out safely and expeditiously.
It was a catastrophe.
I mean, watching the way America left Americans behind, as well as the billions of equipment and pulling the military out.
But Sean, I'm really concerned.
I sat on the Homeland Security Committee on the Counterterrorism and Intelligence Subcommittee.
And something that I'm really worried about moving forward is the screening process of what's happening right now.
You know, the 9-11 Commission report, and I'm sure you're very knowledgeable on that, has been ignored by Congress.
And all the recommendations they made of what we should do to make sure that we don't have another 9-11 again, Congress ignored.
I do not have faith that the screening process, the chaos that followed Biden's failed strategy has severely damaged our ability to properly screen anyone looking to enter the United States under the refugee status.
It's difficult under normal conditions to do that, but to make sure people are who they claim to be.
And we know terrorists will use this program to try to get here in the United States.
And right here in Pennsylvania, you know, some of them are landing.
Unfortunately, I know the 9-11 Commission report well.
I didn't agree with all of its findings, but the one thing that stood out then and stands out loud and clear to me today because the circumstances are the same.
This is now a safe haven for terrorists.
That'll be for the emerging new al-Qaeda.
That's for ISIS and ISIS-K, and every other.
The Haqqani network we know is now in charge of the government, so we know the terrorists are running the show.
Congressman Andy Biggs, I can't think of a bigger disaster than this, and nobody seems to be held accountable.
And my big question is, why?
This was preventable.
Why when the Taliban was on the march all throughout the month of March and April and May and June and July?
And why in July was Joe Biden telling us one of the best trained military is on the planet when they had already taken over 60% of the country, meaning the Taliban and that great trained military was folding like a cheap camera.
Well, you know, Lou's right, Sean, and we have to hold these people accountable.
I mean, that's what we're trying to do.
We have been trying and trying to get information from Secretary Mayerkis about the screening.
We've been trying to keep Millie in.
You've seen the Blinken testimony.
He's claiming he doesn't know enough data and information.
And that's what this administration is doing.
They're stone.
They're trying to distract and disrupt.
And they're getting aided and abetted by the Democrat members in Congress.
Now, there are some Democrats who are standing up.
And finally, Menendez says that, you know, we're going to have to subpoena in Secretary Austin.
We've got to get them in, let the public see, and let's get the answers.
But, I mean, really, step one is, I think, and I think Lou's right, is we've got to find out what the screening process is.
And we've been pushing on the administration, and they just, it's crickets.
They don't want to answer it.
And it's very dangerous going forward if they don't do some accurate and adequate vetting.
And I'm really concerned about that.
It's beyond chilling and beyond frightening to me in every way imaginable.
It's just like, Andy, what's happening at the border?
I mean, you know, we now have people coming into the country.
We're not vetting people at the border.
We're processing them.
We're putting them in Biden's overcrowded cages in the middle of a pandemic.
There's no testing for coronavirus, a high rate of COVID positivity.
Then we're dispersing people without vaccinations all throughout the rest of the country.
But yet Americans now are facing a vaccine mandate or they're going to be shut out of every aspect of society.
It looks like, according to Fauci, even flying, which is probably coming soon, but people are going to be losing their jobs, shut out of restaurants, shut out of stadiums, shut out of concerts, shut out of pretty much everyday life.
Does the federal government have that authority?
They don't have that authority.
And so lawsuits are being filed right now.
I know the Arizona Attorney General has filed a lawsuit.
There are additional lawsuits.
I'm working with special interest law firms to get some lawsuits filed.
We are trying to push back in that way.
And look, I mean, just last night, the Democrats, we said, well, if you're going to give amnesty, at least you need to make sure these people are vaccinated coming across.
No, no go.
We can't stop them if they're criminals.
We can't stop them if they've got COVID.
We're going to let everybody in.
And right now, Sean, with the gotaways, known and unknown, and the people coming across that are surrendering, and then we're dispersing throughout a country about 300,000 a month.
And they're filled with COVID.
A substantial number have COVID, but moreover, they're not stopping them for necessarily some of the criminally violent folks that are coming through.
We know they're coming through, and we can't adequately vet them at the border, just like we can't adequately vet people coming in from Afghanistan.
All right, quick break.
We'll come back with a gubernatorial candidate from Pennsylvania, Lou Barletta, Congressman Andy Biggs of Arizona.
All right, we continue with Lou Barletta.
He's now a gubernatorial candidate from Pennsylvania, Congressman Andy Biggs of Arizona.
So we're not vetting people at the border.
Now, I would say we need to vet in the middle of a pandemic.
We ought to have basic, simple health checks.
That would be number one, Mr. Barletta.
Number two would be, okay, we need to check whether you have radical associations.
Number three, you need to be able to prove that if we're going to bring you into our country, welcome after you've passed the other vetting.
But you've got to show a means to be able to take care of yourself, and you're not going to be a financial burden on the American people.
As it relates to people in Afghanistan, in particular, considering there's a high number or percentage of people there that adhere to radical viewpoints, we need to make sure you truly are an ally of the United States, that you don't have radical associations.
And not only a COVID health check, but apparently there's a measles outbreak because it has one of the highest incidence of measles in Afghanistan, something I didn't know until all of these unvetted Afghans were flying into the U.S.
Yeah, I mean, think of this, Sean.
You know, they shut down businesses, took away their livelihoods so that they wouldn't spread the virus.
And now we have people flying into the country who, you know, who knows where they are.
And I could tell you, I have very little faith that proper screening is being done because, as I said, it's difficult to do it in the best of circumstances.
You know, what are they going to do?
Check people's references?
I mean, how are they going to know if somebody is who they say they are?
And you're right about looking at the border.
I mean, hundreds of thousands of people have been allowed to cross the border and enter the country.
And President Biden has shown no concern for the national security risks that are associated with admitting vast numbers of unscreened people at the border.
So why should we trust them now when we're watching what's happening in Afghanistan and how we handle it?
Well, I don't think you can handle it any worse.
Is there anything we can do now to track down all the illegal immigrants, a couple of hundred thousand almost on average every month, Andy Biggs, and these Afghan refugees that we didn't vet?
Is there anything we can do in retrospect?
They're here and apparently free to travel anywhere they want.
I would assume tracking them all down would be mission impossible.
It's really difficult.
Don't forget that the Biden administration has effectively lost contact with a third of the unaccompanied minors that they have placed throughout the country.
So even when you've got children involved, they're not really tracking them and they're not successfully tracking them.
And you got Secretary Mayorkas telling the ICE Immigration Customs and Enforcement, you're going to have to stand down somewhat on the enforcement because we want to be humanitarian, treat people with dignity.
So this administration just doesn't even get the very notion of national security and tracking people that they're letting in and dispersing throughout the country.
You know who knows where these people are?
The cartels, the Mexican cartels, the transnational criminal organizations.
They know where these people go because they're keeping them in indentured servitude.
But we don't know because our government is so inept.
Congressman Andy Biggs, thank you.
Gubernatorial candidate from Pennsylvania, Lou Berletta, thank you.
800-941 Sean is our number.
Quick break right back.
Your calls on the other side.
Straight ahead.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
We have the whole song, and we've now updated it with our own version, Blood on My Hands.
Now, this is a powerful video, and we've added some of our own version of sound to it to really bring the point home.
I never thought my whole life we'd be in this situation.
Let me just play a minute or two of this, and then we have on Hannity.com.
We have it all uploaded, and you could, you know, take down the, you can download it and then send it out all over social media because everybody knows that if this was an anti-Trump song or Donald Trump were president and Donald Trump botched this exit in Afghanistan the way Biden did, I mean, they would impeach him a thousand more times.
Listen.
Is a Taliban takeover of Afghanistan now inevitable?
No, it is not.
Got blood on my hands.
I just found out that the last flight is gone.
Got blood on my hands.
I was dead content.
And I don't understand.
This is not comforting at all because we don't know if we're going to make it out.
What's happening?
Extraordinary success of this mission.
There's blood on these hands.
13 Americans killed.
95 Afghans killed.
And still Americans.
Nobody predicted the government would fall in 11 days.
Am I safe?
Now the question is my life.
Am I safe?
These people are safe.
Wink and blinking.
Can't you look me in the eyes?
William Millet, when did you decide this will defend your sacred motto?
Now means never mind.
There's American citizens left.
We're going to stay there and get them all out.
Blood on my hands, John Andrasik.
It's on Hannity.com.
Please download it and send it to your friends.
It is powerful.
All right, 800-941-Sean, you want to be a part of the program.
We are really looking into this report.
Bob Woodward's new book claiming that General Mark Milley, Joint Chiefs, intended to tip off China to U.S. nuclear attack and take steps to prevent Donald Trump, who is the commander-in-chief, from, if needed, launching nuclear weapons.
This is going to get very, very interesting and very dangerous.
Very dangerous for the country.
You want to be the commander-in-chief?
You got to run for president.
All right, let's have more on that tonight on Hannity.
Let's go to our phones.
David is in North Carolina.
David, how are you, sir?
Glad you called.
Hey, man, how are you doing?
I'm good, sir.
Thanks for calling.
Yes, sir.
Hey, so I wanted to talk about this crazy Biden, man.
How in the world can he mandate this vaccine for everybody but yourself and his health?
Go ahead.
So are the celebrities and the politicians of this country immune to this virus?
Congress is exempt from Biden's COVID vaccine mandate.
Yeah.
So are illegal immigrants.
They've been exempt.
So have Afghan refugees that are unvetted.
They've been exempt.
Yeah, you're pointing out ridiculous, insane hypocrisy, sir.
I mean, even the Postal Service, they're exempt.
I mean, I'm a working-class guy, 39 years old.
I work hard for my family and stuff like that.
We are the me and the people I work with and other citizens are the people that's keeping this country going.
And he is literally flatlining us.
I don't even.
This is what Congress does.
This is what they did with Obamacare.
You know, it's they treat themselves well.
Now, I know the Postal Service was exempt as well, but there was some pushback.
I don't know what the final verdict on that became.
But it's unbelievable to me that they'll put this on the rest of us, but not illegal immigrants, not Afghan refugees, not Congress, not their staff, but just on you, we, the people.
You need a reason to vote November of 2022?
There you go.
There's the latest reason, my friend.
Thanks, David.
We the people, I think we, the people, is about to stand up.
Oh, I think so, big time.
Now, by the way, U.S. Postal Service workers will have to get the vaccine or be tested weekly.
So they did change it, that part of it.
But they haven't changed it for Congress and their staffs.
Why would they exempt themselves?
By the way, what were they planning on doing?
You know, arresting Rand Paul, who's a medical doctor, who had COVID, has natural immunity.
Anyway, let's say out of Joe in New Hampshire.
Hey, Joe, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hi, Sean.
How are you doing?
Good, sir.
What's on your mind?
Yeah, I'm a pharmacist for 28 years.
Okay.
And I didn't know.
I never hear anything about this PCR test that is even listed on the CDC, FDA, and WHO sites that it doesn't work properly.
It gives too many false positives.
So my question is, gives a false positive for COVID.
How does it test for a variant when it doesn't even work?
You get my point?
Yeah, well, look, I've had a different experience.
And, you know, more than I care to tell you, I've been up to my eyeballs on COVID for a long time now and helping as many people as I can and helping people get in touch with doctors.
And believe me, getting testing.
I've not, there are, there are and have been many examples.
You're right, of false positives.
But they've kind of gotten the test down as of late that I have seen.
They got it down pretty well.
My friend that got a breakthrough case, he was fully vaccinated.
He actually found out through an Abbott home test that he got at his local drugstore, and then it was confirmed when he went to the dock in the box, and he had symptoms.
So it was obvious for him that he had had it.
Right.
But the thing is, how do you differentiate them?
It's a variant when you don't have a specific test tool.
So the numbers can be faked.
That's what I'm kind of saying.
Yeah, well, you know, testing for the variants is more complicated.
There's no doubt about it.
Yeah.
No doubt about it.
I had one more thing to say about vaccines because I was a vaccine certified guy.
I've never seen one come out in a year, ever.
And I just wanted to say that, you know, most drugs, you know, they have a package or insert, a mile long, side effects, you know, what it can do to you if you're pregnant.
Should you take it?
Should you or shouldn't take it?
And this thing has nothing.
Zero.
Yeah, just, is that true?
I didn't, I have never checked that.
That would be interesting to do.
You're right.
If you read the risk factors for taking Tylenol or Excedrin for crying out loud, the list is a mile long.
And you're saying that there's nothing for this, no warnings whatsoever?
No contraindication.
So what is happening is, and there was also no double-blinded placebo studies done on this so-called approved one, which you find out it's really not approved.
It's approved for the future.
They're still using the experimental one.
I know this for a fact.
Well, they did get full FDA approval, so take that for what it's worth.
But, you know, listen, I am really, I'm very concerned that some people don't take it seriously.
I'm just saying to my audience, and I love everyone in this audience.
I know people have pressured me tremendously to tell people what to do, and I'm not going to do it because I'm not a medical doctor.
And I appreciate your insight, Joe.
Thank you.
But I will tell you this, is that I've seen the worst of it.
Take it seriously.
There's a lot of research out there.
My audience is a smart audience.
We've done exhaustive studies on who listens to this program, who watches Hannity the TV show.
And the amount of information available at your fingertips, if you have a telephone, is unlimited.
And spend time, you know, your health matters, research.
Then you have to look at your unique medical history, your current condition, talk to your doctor, doctors, talk to the medical experts in your life.
Don't ignore it.
Don't ignore it.
Now, what do you do if you have a breakthrough case?
Again, talk to your doctor.
The one underreported and hardly talked about therapeutic that I've been most impressed with, but I'm not telling you what to do, is Regenerone, is the monoclonal antibodies.
I would urge you to ask your doctor if you have a breakthrough case or if you didn't get vaccinated and have a case.
Debbie Virginia.
Hey, Debbie, how are you?
Glad you called.
Good.
How are you doing?
I'm good.
What's going on?
Thank you my call.
Well, I wanted to actually talk a little bit.
I could probably be here for a long time, but I'm going to try to keep it concise, is the vax mandate and what it's doing personally.
But I'm a mental health provider on a very large military base.
And let me tell you, this is just complete chaos.
Oh, I believe it.
It has not been, they brought it down with, okay, this is mandatory, but they did not put a system in place.
So nobody knows what's happening to them.
They're given, I had, for example, I had a military service member call me last week.
He had 24 hours to make the decision whether or not to take the shot.
And he was 19 years old with a history of heart problems.
You know, his mom's crying, no, don't.
This could potentially kill you.
And he has 24 hours to make this decision.
Now, let me ask you a question.
Are you seeing examples where guys are willing to leave the profession?
We're seeing a lot of that, and they're trying to prepare.
And we're talking guys who are all the way at the top, you know, 17, 18 years in, who are walking.
So they would give up their pension, which they're two or three years away from receiving.
They give up the benefits of work their adult life for because they feel so strongly about it, or maybe their own doctor recommends they have a rare condition or something.
Is that what you're saying?
We have both.
And see, I'm in the same position.
I am anticipating I will not have a job next month because I have chronic illness for over 20 years.
My doctor has very strongly said the shot could potentially be fatal for me, that I cannot do it.
And because the federal mandate has come down, they're saying that the mandate is not going to allow for exemption.
So, and that's, again, where the chaos is.
There's no rhyme or reason as to how they're putting forth this mandate.
So we're hearing a lot about the mandate, but nobody's talking about even how, what is the process?
I have all these service members coming to talk to me going, I don't know what's going to happen to me.
And everybody's doing it different.
Some are saying, okay, you'll get a general discharge.
Some are being told that you're going to get a dishonorable because you were given an order and you're refusing to follow it.
There is nothing across the board that is consistent here.
Even for myself, we've been told, okay, you have till this date to provide your vaccine information, and then there's nothing else like, okay, let me ask you this.
Is there any process if you happen to have a rare medical condition or if you're trying to follow the science and you have natural immunity, is there any exemption process at all?
Or is it completely one-size-fits-all medicine?
Pretty much.
Like, I have another service member I saw just the other day, and he just got over COVID.
And my understanding is you're supposed to wait a few months.
He was talking about 30 days.
I think you're supposed to wait three months minimum, I believe.
Yes.
Yep.
No, they're telling him 30 days.
And they're going to be able to do that.
There you go.
Follow the science, Debbie.
They're not following the science, are they?
No, and this is just complete chaos.
So everybody is so upset.
And then my theory is, okay, this is our military.
One, we're going to lose some of our really good people.
Two, everybody's so stressed out.
It's chaotic.
It's panic.
And if something really genuinely happens, I just don't feel like they're in a good state of mind to do their job.
It's so typical of bureaucracies to run things so rigidly without the lecture on science, but the meaningless words from them rather than take each case into account specifically based on what history, medical history is and current condition is and so on and so forth.
And I'll tell you, the people I feel also sorry for are people that work in the medical profession that dove on COVID bombs every day to save people's lives.
And many of them ended up with COVID.
And yet they feel that natural immunity is enough for them based, again, on the science.
And I quoted earlier in the program today, the guy that actually created the mRNA vaccine, the guy's name is Dr. Robert Malone.
The Epic Times has an interview with him, and he quoted an Israel medical study.
And he also said that his own experience had shown, he says it's now been shown in a paper in the breadth of immune response in terms of T and B cell memory populations is more diverse and more longer lasting with natural immunity than those from the spike-based vaccines.
This guy, by the way, he invented the mRNA vaccine technology.
He invented it, meaning the very technology for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.
He's not a dope.
Again, talk to your own doctor.
I'm not one.
I'm not playing one on radio.
Everyone wants me to do it.
I refuse.
All right, that's going to wrap things up for tonight.
All right, Blinken got a beatdown today by Senator Cruz and Senator Marco Rubio.
We'll update you on Recall Day out in California with Leo 2.0, Terrell, and Larry Elder.
The great one Mark Levin tonight weighs in on Millie and much more.
Laura Trump and Joe Concha on the media mob being complicit with Joe Biden.
News you won't get from the mob.
