goldfish.

Goldfish being left behind.

And I will not help them.

It's pretty tragic.

Yeah, you hear a lot about how great things are going right now.

Right?

Yeah, yeah, we're taking a completely different tack.

A lot of people are saying this isn't going well.

I'm going the opposite direction.

Really?

Yeah.

Okay, I think what could you do that's better?

So you're not telling the truth about the negative side of this, which is the media is saying things aren't going perfectly, and that's bad.

They deserve the Biden administration deserves their props.

Exactly.

Okay, so

is everybody dead?

No, no, no.

Not yet are alive.

Not yet.

Not yet.

Not yet.

That's a good way to look at it.

Yeah, there's a few musicians still alive.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Right.

I'm sure there's a few homosexuals that are

still feeling comfortable walking in the streets.

And like, we've never tested this.

Like, we don't know how the Taliban.

Maybe the Taliban will be fantastic if they just have a bunch of helicopters and drones.

Maybe that was the weakness of the society before.

Correct.

And you know what?

Let's go to the Department of State and Secretary Blinken.

You know, the Taliban, as he said yesterday, has to earn its international legitimacy and support.

And

so I think we need to give them time.

Yes.

You know, I was watching some incredible footage today of our soldiers walking into the airport in Kabul and looking at their helicopters.

And then I realized, no,

that's not them.

That's the

in our uniforms with our helicopters and our equipment.

I was like, wow, we're giving.

They're dressed a lot better than they used to be.

Much better.

And they drive around town in nicer vehicles.

Is it possible it was the vehicles and the outfits that were the problem last year?

And the lack of Blackhawk helicopters.

Yes.

Yeah.

Like, maybe they needed a bird's eye view to understand they shouldn't be raping women in the streets.

I don't know.

Who knows?

We've never tried it.

And there's only 30, there's only like 34 countries that have more Blackhawks now than the Taliban.

So I think that's maybe the problem this whole time.

The whole time.

Yeah.

And they have 42,000 more trucks.

They could open a used car dealership.

Oh, that could really bring in some revenue.

It could.

You look at the prices of used cars today.

Oh, my gosh.

Yeah.

And, you know, they had the MD530s.

Those are, they have 43 of those helicopters.

And last night, these guys are such characters.

They were strapping people to the skids

and then just flying with the people strapped to the skids.

And sometimes, you know, those ropes accidentally got loose and they fell to their death accidentally.

Other times they just landed on them.

So it was great.

It was great.

They've got 43 of those helicopters so they can provide all kinds of entertainment.

Oh, man.

These guys are so evil.

And we are, we are, you know, it's, we all knew that you're not going to be able to take care of a country that won't fight for themselves.

Okay.

They have to want it.

But you are seeing that there are cities that are pushing them back.

30 cities push these guys out.

Yeah.

And they are standing up.

We just left a complete vacuum.

We could have easily left just a few people there.

at our airbase just so they knew, you know what, things get really bad.

I guess we're just going to call the Americans and they'll just drop a few bombs on you.

And there's nothing wrong with that deterrent.

We just, even if it's for six months,

we just left them, just left them.

And don't listen to the government.

We left Americans behind.

Oh,

I mean, even the government is admitting that.

I mean, they can't

200.

They're saying it's only 200.

Yeah.

But we know crap.

We know it's more than one.

More than zero

is not appropriate.

The Biden interview with Stephanopoulos the other day, Stephanopoulos said to Biden, and he didn't challenge it, there are 10 to 15,000 Americans left there.

Right.

10 to 15,000.

Now, Blinken said we've gotten as many as 6,000 out.

That leaves 4

to 9,000 people

still there.

4 to 9,000.

Unless they were lying when they had 15,000, when they said they had 15,000.

Were they lying then

or are they lying now?

Gee, I don't know because they'll lie about everything.

And the only way this ends, we all know how this ends, which is, of course, that over time, the media, to back up Joe Biden, that this wasn't so bad, starts turning the Taliban into the good guys in this conflict against ISIS-K.

And then we start funding the Taliban to fight ISIS-K.

Has to be the way this ends.

It is already happening.

Yes.

I would not be surprised.

I mean, obviously, we're funding them with $85 billion of military equipment, but I'm saying

outwardly occurring if now happened with the president's speech last week he already did it he said this these bombings were isis and the taliban it was protecting us

you know excuse me but i happened to know exactly how that airport was working there were three taliban checkpoints to get to the Abbey gate.

You had to go through three choke points.

All right.

Does the Taliban not know what a suicide vest looks like?

I'm saying it was a 25 or 50-pound suicide vest.

Giant basically.

Enormous.

They allowed that to go through.

I'm sorry.

I'm certainly suspicious of that.

But what I'm saying is like ongoing military support, ongoing

humanitarian support.

They're going to become our buddies again.

This is what happens in these conflicts.

Did you hear the speeches from the military officials after we pulled out?

They're like, oh, the Taliban was fantastic.

I mean, they were great.

They really helped us.

I mean, they didn't get everybody at these checkpoints, but wow, what a great job they did.

I mean, they're acting like it was like they did.

Hey, my son did a good job at the Little League game this week.

Good job.

Good job, son.

Good job, Taliban.

Thank you for helping us.

Like, this is pathetic.

Are we the United States of America?

I can't.

We're apparently not anymore.

Apparently not.

And Fox is reporting that they've got an American hostage right now.

The Taliban.

They have Americans retired.

They have for a long time.

And

we couldn't even get the hostage out as part of this pullout deal.

We couldn't even get that.

And they keep asking about it and they're saying, we're not going to leave anybody behind.

You know you're leaving this person behind.

And we can't even get, with these incredible negotiations we're having with the Taliban, we can't even get the known hostages out.

I mean,

it's insane that this has happened.

And he owns every little bit of it.

And the media is going to, they've done a halfway decent job when the crisis was going on.

But now that American troops are out of there, and now that there's no longer any active danger at that airport where all the rehabilitation will start, it's going to start.

And they're going to start saying how actually it was an amazing, it was a historic airlift.

It was the biggest ever in history.

They deserve all this credit.

And it's going to continue and continue

until Joe Biden was the hero of this war, and the Taliban are our close confidants in our tough war.

Who punch above their weight.

They punch above their weight.

You know, we thought they were bad for a while, but that was probably George Bush's fault after all.

After all, it was an inside job, as we all know.

I thought we were going to get good news from Pat.

I thought that's what he was doing.

Oh, you didn't find that to be?

No, I really find that good news.

I'm still looking for the good news.

Weird.

Did you guys see the Washington Post article where they are saying we don't know, I mean,

what's wrong with Trump voters?

They should be all over.

Now,

I can't tell

if this is

a parody or not.

So you tell me,

if Trump voters cared a whit about substance, they'd be swooning for Joe Biden right now.

In ways both enthusiastic and reluctant, President Biden has pursued a surprisingly Trump agenda.

He has implemented the rapid and complete withdrawal from Afghanistan that former President Donald Trump negotiated with the Taliban.

He maintained Trump's tariffs against China on metal imports.

He continued a Trump policy that allowed the rapid deportation of asylum seekers.

Oh my gosh.

He achieved the longtime Trump goal of massive infrastructure spending deal and continued Trump's practice of heavy deficit spending.

He's furthered Trump's coddling of the Saudi regime by letting it off the hook for murdering the journalist Jamal Khashoggi and Russia by greenlighting the gas pipeline to Germany that circumvents Ukraine.

He's left in place Trump's hardline Cuba policy.

So where's the love from the MAGA crowd?

Those aren't the things that we loved about,

it said, the likely reason for this is obvious and depressing.

Trump voters weren't attracted to him because of his policies, but because of his tribal partisanship and because they liked Trump's style, his attacks on the institutions, government by tweet, the violent talk, and yes, white nationalism.

That is incredible.

Let's just go through this list, shall we?

He's implemented the rapid and complete withdrawal from Afghanistan that former President Donald Trump negotiated with the Taliban.

Just so you know,

no one was for this kind of an exit strategy.

This is a disaster.

Most Americans would agree they didn't want to be in Afghanistan anymore, but not if this was the cost.

By the way,

Donald Trump didn't go 40 hours without returning the phone call to the prime minister of our biggest, longest ally, England.

He didn't rape all of our allies to the point to where they won't do business with us anymore.

By the way, the Taliban killed one person,

one person before he was going back to meet with them.

And he said, I won't meet with them.

And all of those people are dead.

One

person was killed by the Taliban.

And he said, they're dead.

And guess what?

They were.

Now,

so don't give me this that Joe Biden has done the Trump agenda with the Taliban.

He's continued the Trump policy that allows for rapid deportation of asylum seekers.

Are you kidding me?

Are you really trying to convince the American people that our border is as secure as it was?

Do you know under

Barack Obama, his worst month was 10,000 people coming over the border?

And we all remember that month, don't we?

That was the worst month.

And it was kind of an anomaly because it went back down the next month.

The last five months on our border

have been between 12 and 20,000 people coming across our border.

The worst anomaly of Barack Obama, he has doubled that number.

And it's not just one month, it's every month 12 to 20,000 people coming across our border.

So please, I think it's more than that.

Some months, it's like 200,000.

There are multiple categories here.

Yeah, I think you might be speaking of

because you're right, it is like that number's up over 200,000.

Because I remember they had a chart they were giving out for months.

Like,

here's their numbers.

And look at it.

It's kind of close to last year.

And then all of a sudden, it wasn't close.

And then all of a sudden, it literally went off the top of the chart.

Because they had the top of of the chart at 200,000, like it's never going to hit this.

And then it went off the top of the chart.

And it was just over that.

Yeah.

Asylum.

And maybe, I don't know.

I think that's

asylum seekers.

Maybe just asylum.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But so don't tell me about his rapid deportation of asylum seekers.

The Supreme Court had to force him back into the Trump policy.

And quite honestly, I don't even know if that's been done.

No, they've ignored a lot of the Supreme Court.

Right.

Just ignored them.

Please give it a rest.

The best of the Glendbeck program.

Josh Rogan, he's the author of Chaos Under Heaven.

We just did a podcast together, I think, a couple of three weeks ago.

It is a must-watch podcast.

You will learn so much from Josh, and he joins us again today.

He is a columnist, and don't hold this against him for the Washington Post.

Hi, Josh.

How are you?

Great to be back with you, Con.

So, I am, you know, I'm wondering, well, first,

let's start with the simple stuff.

The big winner here seems to be China.

They are now looking to build new roads across parts of

Afghanistan.

They are looking at

their

mineral reserve, which is enormous,

their lithium reserve.

Tell me about the big winner here in Afghanistan.

Right, Glenn.

Well, you know, there are lots of different angles to this debacle we're seeing unfold in Afghanistan.

Just a disaster for American credibility and standing all over the world.

But

the way I look at it is that not everything in the world is related to China, but the competition with China actually plays out all over the globe in every part of it, and especially in in Southwest Asia.

And I think this really

gives China an advantage over us in

several different ways.

First of all, let's just talk about

the big picture, right?

That Joe Biden, our president, internationalist president, was supposed to bring America back.

He was supposed to be proving that democracies can defeat autocracies.

He was supposed to be convincing the rest of our allies to come along on this project of building or restoring or repairing, whatever you like to call it, the international global world order, which is his entire plan for countering the rise of the Chinese Communist Party and the threat that it poses to our way of life.

And boom, right out of the bat, he's losing democracies left and right.

It's not just Afghanistan.

Look at Myanmar.

Look at Nicaragua.

Look at, I don't know, Tunisia, you know, all over the world in eight months, autocracy is on the march.

And if you're in any country that's sort of on the border between sort of, you know, a struggling country that's trying to do better, that's trying to lift itself out of suffering and tyranny.

And you look at that, you have to say that like, oh, America

talks to the talk, but doesn't walk the walk.

And so

that's the big picture here is that the big Chinese Communist Party argument has always been that democracy doesn't work.

It's too messy.

Once you give people freedom, they use it to produce fake news.

And all these things that we believe in, like, you know, human rights and the rule of law, are all just sham.

That's what Xi Jinping wrote in a thing called Document Document Number Nine, which is in my book, Chaos Under Heaven.

It explains that his entire theory of the case is that democracy and open and free societies don't work.

Okay.

And that it's much better just to have a thuggish dictatorship, even though you might not like what it does all the time.

You'll have more stability and safety.

And that's what we're proving by handing over this country to a thuggish dictatorship.

And that doesn't even get you to the minerals and the diplomatic, you know,

power that we've yielded to Beijing and the fact that we throw our allies under the bus, we abandon our local partners, and who around the world is going to want to work with us again, and who around the world is going to believe us again when we go into some place and say, Hey, we can make your lives better, and we're going to stick it out because we believe in these things that we profess to believe in.

But now China can go around the world and say, No, no, no, that'll work for a little while until they get tired of you, and that's what they're saying to Israel and Taiwan and everyone else.

So, Josh, you said that

President Xi is looking at a world world and saying autocracies work,

democracies don't.

Well, I would posit to you that that is the belief of Joe Biden, or at least those around him.

As he said before to the press,

to the select press, the approved press, right before his, I guess you would call it a State of the Union speech, he said, you know, the jury's out on this, and

that's our quest to find out if a democracy like ours can exist and

actually hold its own against these autocracies.

And I honestly believe he thinks that we can't.

I mean, it's the great reset.

That is the whole idea of build back better, that you do have to take some of these rights away from people to be able to compete against China.

This is exactly what we went through with the progressives in the 1920s and 1930s and 40s.

Same thing.

Well, listen, you know, I think

there are similarities that you could draw, Glenn, but I think we should kind of avoid wrapping our battle with tyranny, the Chinese Communist Party, into our own domestic politics.

You and I have talked about this a lot, right?

We can, yes, there are

through lines, right, about government power and our ability to affect

and to speak freely in our own society but it's not the same we shouldn't draw no i'm not saying it is the same i i'm not i'm not saying that i'm saying that their view of a free republic like we have constitutionally that the left's idea of a free republic uh they don't necessarily believe in it either uh you know xi jinping he is you know he's he's he's he's to the extreme of that but they're on the same road they don't think that we can compete.

They think this is an old, outdated model.

You know, I think there is something to that.

You know, you can't just preach democracy.

You have to actually implement it at home.

And I do think that the way the Biden administration is going is that you have to conclude that they think that America's in decline and they're trying to manage that decline.

Now, what I say is that doesn't have to be the case.

Now, if you're of the ⁇ that's sort of how Obama thought of it, too, right?

He's like, oh, well, you know, it's just inevitable that these other countries are going to become so much more powerful than us.

We should just manage our decline and hand off global responsibility.

The problem with that, of course, is that when America withdraws, it's the bad guys who take over.

It's like the worst actors, the strongest people, like whoever's new at the zoo with all the guns and the money, in this case, the Taliban, who fills that void.

So yeah,

I hear what you're saying.

I agree with what you're saying.

But at the same time,

it's not over yet.

We have to fight against that,

both at home and abroad.

Because if it is the same fight, as you say, then you know, we can't afford to lose either one.

We can't afford to take our eye off either ball.

I talked to Nigel Farage yesterday, and we've talked to some people

overseas in many different countries of our allies, and they all pretty much say the same thing.

We don't trust you anymore.

What is the effect of that?

On the average American citizen?

Why should they care about that?

You know, if Joe Biden came to power criticizing for alienating allies, right?

That was his whole pitch, right?

America's alone.

America first means America alone.

And here we are in the first eight months, and he's done as much to alienate allies as anyone else.

And the reason that that affects all Americans is because if you're bought into this idea that, you know, America should, you know, work with like-minded countries on all these projects, well, then we actually have to do it.

We actually have to put our money where our mouth is.

And then if we can't get these countries on board, especially with regards to the China competition, well, then that's a big problem.

If, you know, it's one thing to lose Afghanistan to China.

It's another thing to lose Europe.

And that's sort of what we're staring at, is that you've got all these countries that should be on our side.

And that by our side, and I don't mean America's side, I mean on the side of the things that we believe in, on the side of freedom and democracy in the West and free and open societies and justice and, you know, and human dignity, right?

And individual rights, right?

The same thing that you're talking about in our domestic debate.

you have pools of those people in all of these european countries but you know if they're watching their own people uh get killed in afghanistan due to our incompetence well then the next time we go and ask them for help or tell them that they can trust us of course they're not going to believe us so again not everything's related to china but it is in a way undermining our ability to do exactly what biden said he wants to do and that's really the big problem is that what they're saying and what we see on our tv screens are two totally different things you can't really undermine trust more than that i mean we just spent three weeks Even, I mean, look at all the Democrats who are watching their TV screens, you know, calling everybody they know in the administration to beg them to get their friends and families out of this crazy, ugly, dystopian situation and failing because the State Department and the Biden administration were so discovulated, so screwed up, just a mess.

That's what I saw for the last 19 days.

A total disaster.

The avoidable disaster, predictable disaster, where real people died because of the incompetence, not ideologies, just the sheer incompetence of this administration.

And that's what the world sees too.

So

they might even believe that Joe Biden believes what he says, but if they don't think he has the basic competence to pull it off, then why would they bet their countries on it?

It wouldn't make any sense.

I talked to somebody yesterday who

was

the chief of staff for a major allies

prime minister.

And he happened to be friends of the prime minister of

I want to say it's Albania.

I think I have that right, Albania.

Last week when I was in the Middle East, Albania was taking Christian refugees.

It's a great place for Christian refugees to go.

And they had no problem taking it.

The State Department called

the Albanian government and said, at the last minute, do not take any of these.

And

I asked this former aide who was speaking to the head of Albania, I think this prime minister,

and I said, did he give you any indication on why that happened?

And he said, no, he thought it was very bizarre, and so do I.

And they wouldn't assign a motive to it, but

that's not incompetence.

What is that?

Well, it's partially incompetence.

First of all, Glenn, that's a horrible, horrible story that needs to be reported out and possible.

And so do I.

And that's why I say it's it's it's shocking but not surprising because I've been dealing with stories like this for the last three weeks.

Like almost everybody else in Washington has, and they all go the same way.

The State Department told us we were on our own, so we made we lifted heaven and earth to make arrangements to get our people out, and then the State Department screwed it up at the last minute.

And why is that going on?

Because in the middle of this mess,

the administration continued to make bad decisions on top of bad decisions.

And in the end, they were looking out for their political interests.

And their political interests were to, first of all, make sure they don't get blamed for any of this stuff, which is not going to happen.

And second of all, to get out the people that they cared about most.

So when push came to shove and they decided that they weren't going to extend the deadline, again, for no other reason than the political reason,

they immediately started to tell everyone, forget about your people.

We're going to get our people, our locally employed staff, and also Americans and green card holders, but really only the Afghans that the State Department wanted to be able to say, we saved these guys.

And so everyone who had been working for two or three weeks to get their own friends and family out, equally deserving Afghans who had done equally heroic things, they just got pushed aside because

that's the way that things were going.

So yeah, it is a mix of political gamesmanship and a mix of incompetence all rolled into one.

It's a perfect storm of idiocy that has cost people's lives, lots of people's lives, and will continue to do so because of the thousands we left behind i think um it's the first time i've ever said this i think calling um uh people idiots for this is the kindest word uh you could possibly use

this is a family show and i'm glad that

you know i know

go ahead that you have very like but i heard what you said before i came on about you know american citizens and you know whether the numbers are right the numbers are all screwed up and you know they won't even tell you how they came to these these 123 000 400 million whatever it's all bs but what's really insidious about that is that they want you to focus on the statistics so that you will be distracted from the stories from the anecdotes from the human suffering right because i was dealing with american citizens who went through hell every day walking up to those gates with all of the documentation either getting turned away by the taliban if they get past the taliban they got turned away by the turks if they get past the turks they got turned away by u.s marines okay this happened many many many times.

Many, many reporters have already reported it.

So don't sit there and tell me you did everything you could because the least you could have done was design a system that wasn't this totally, totally screwed up.

Josh, thank you so much.

As always, it's a pleasure to talk to you.

He's the author of Chaos Under Heaven.

He is probably, I think, the leading voice on China and where they're going and what it all means, and has a good head on his shoulders.

Columnist for the Washington Post, chaos under heaven, Josh Rogan.

Thank you so much, Josh.

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

There's a lot of talk of impeachment going around, but I don't think Nancy Pelosi is

going to go along with it.

However,

should our president be impeached?

You can't impeach him for incompetence, although it's a political thing, I guess.

You could impeach for any reason.

But I would like to make a real one.

Remember, the Ukraine, that was all about the timing of military aid to Ukraine and the request of the Ukraine to purchase some javelin defense missiles, $391 million.

Well, we've just handed the Taliban, not an ally, $10 billion.

$10 billion.

During Trump's impeachment trial, the left said that Trump delaying military aid to Ukraine was cruel and dangerous to American national security.

Well, what about the problems that have now been caused by President Biden that have directly led to Taliban controlling billions of dollars of the highest attack we have.

Based on harm to the United States over the last two weeks alone, the damage done to the relationship and the trust with our allies, the outrageous waste and fleecing of American taxpayers, giving the Taliban a list of names of U.S.

citizens and Afghani allies, not to mention the loss of American lives last Thursday, which is more impeachable?

One phone call by the President or President Biden's Afghanistan meltdown.

This is why congressional Democrats should have checked themselves before they wreck themselves lowering the impeachment bar so far because Biden is soaring over that bar now.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is with us now.

She is the congressman from Colorado.

She's calling on Biden to resign and calling for impeachment proceedings

to begin.

Congresswoman, welcome to the program.

Thanks so much, Glenn.

It's wonderful to be on with you today.

And I really do just want to stop and thank you and your listeners.

And thank you to Kenneth Copeland Ministries and the Nazarene Fund.

What y'all did, actually going to Afghanistan and rescuing over 5,000 endangered Christians is nothing but miraculous.

That's the American spirit right there, and that's American exceptionalism.

And that's the kindness and charity that we've been called to as Christians.

So thank you.

Thank you.

That is, it's, it's an exceptional audience.

This audience is incredible, just incredible.

I think the best in the nation, perhaps ever assembled on radio.

Anyway, let's talk a little bit about your call for impeachment.

What are you basing it on?

Well,

there's certainly a lot that Joe Biden has done as a derelict of duty.

He has not fulfilled his oath of office as President of the United States and Commander in Chief.

You know, I saw what you had to say while you were over there.

And look, you're absolutely right.

There has been no leadership on this issue.

No leadership in protecting endangered Americans, endangered Christians, no leadership in protecting our troops or our equipment, and no accountability even for now the Taliban who's flying our Black Hawk helicopters with seemingly public hangings from them.

No leadership is getting our citizens out.

And I'm sure your listeners have heard that the last U.S.

flight left Kabul yesterday, and many Americans are still stranded in Afghanistan.

That is unacceptable, and that is infuriating.

Where is the accountability?

So far, there's only been one resignation because of this mess.

And it came from Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Scheller, who resigned because he could no longer serve in a military run by such buffoons.

And look at the track record of our so-called commander-in-chief and his regime.

$85 billion in state-of-the-art military equipment has been handed over to terrorists.

This so-called commander-in-chief has been taking orders from terrorists.

They stranded Americans with no way to get home.

They took orders from the Taliban and directed our soldiers to clean the airport for these killers.

And they allowed 13 of our brave men and women to be killed.

Joe Biden

needs to resign.

He needs to be removed.

His military advisors, who've shown that they are more focused on wokeness than winning, need to resign.

And if Joe Biden refuses to do that, then all options are on the table.

That could mean the 25th Amendment, and he could go home and take his nap and eat his applesauce, or that very well could mean impeachment.

And my office is working on that exactly.

The incompetence of this regime is a national security threat.

And myself and many members of the House Freedom Caucus are going to take a stand.

I'm glad to hear you say that.

What are the odds with Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats in charge?

What are the odds that you could actually move this forward?

Glenn, I am calling on just a handful of Democrats to take a stand against the Speaker of the House.

I am in Washington, D.C.

right now demanding that members come back to Washington.

If we can be called back into session from our recess to start the process of spending trillions and trillions of dollars unnecessarily, we certainly can be called back into session for this.

I need Democrats to take a stand and show that they are not under the complete control of Speaker Pelosi.

We have to put pressure on them.

We have to put pressure on Republicans right now.

I see primaries in the future of any Republican who does not call for action right now.

The American people want something done.

They are tired of politicians just talking about what needs to happen.

They need action behind those words, and we have to be the ones who are doing it.

And that's why I'm in Washington, D.C.

right now saying it is worth being here to stop this madness and hold this regime accountable.

So, what can my audience do to help you?

Everyone needs to be putting pressure on their members of Congress.

We need the Congress to come together.

We always hear about Democrats saying the Republicans won't work for them.

Well, this is their opportunity to work with us, to work with us to make sure that America remains an exceptional nation, remains a free nation, remains the strongest military force in the world who doesn't just give over their equipment to terrorists, to their enemies, and fund the opposite side of a war.

We need them to come together with us and say there has to be accountability.

now think about it, Glenn.

When our servicemen and women leave equipment behind, whether that's night vision goggles or any piece of equipment that they have in their possession, they are held personally liable, whether that's monetarily or they are demoted and they have a lesser rank.

What is happening to Miley right now?

What is happening to Austin right now?

Where is the accountability for all of the $85 billion in equipment that has been left behind?

I need just a handful of Democrats to step up and say, we are not going to stand for this.

If they can impeach President Trump over a perfect phone call and a perfect speech, certainly they can take a stand against this and show that they still have some dignity for this nation.

I will tell you that,

you know, if we had

Marines, soldiers, airmen

that were as brave as one was last week.

If we had one of those per day,

that would mount quickly.

It wouldn't take more than 20 that had real

sets on them and was willing to walk away.

And I know the American people would take care of those people.

And if they would just walk away and say, I can't do this because the upper brass has defiled and disgraced everything we stand for.

If just 20 people would do it at once a day, one person a day, it would start to add up.

But you've got just one guy and

it made a big splash, but

it's not going to change anything.

One guy.

alone won't change.

He can inspire others, but where are the others?

I certainly hope that Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Scheller is inspiring others to do the same.

And I want him and others to know that we have their back.

I have legislation that is being drafted in my office to reinstate his benefits so he does not lose that from the time that he served our country.

And so I want other people to know we absolutely have your back.

And we can certainly get this started while Republicans are in the minority.

But we will have the majority in 2022, and there will be a day of reckoning.

So all of these people who are worried about taking a stand right now, know that we have you.

Let me ask you one last question.

Have you thought about Kamala Harris as president?

Does it get any better?

So, of course, that is the number one question.

When you start thinking about impeachment and discussing that, you start going down the list.

Well, do we really want President Harris?

Do we really want President Pelosi?

She certainly has shown what she does with the People's House here in Washington, D.C.

I can imagine what she would do with the White House.

So I have legislation that will be introduced in impeaching both Biden and Harris.

And Nancy Pelosi can follow them out the freaking door.

She certainly needs to be held accountable for this as well.

And we have called, as the Freedom Caucus, we have called on Leader McCarthy to introduce

a resolution to vacate the chair.

Holy cow.

Has that been done before?

I don't know if that's actually been done, but this is something that we are pursuing because this is serious.

This is a national security threat at this point to have this kind of leadership in America.

And so everyone needs to be held accountable.

We're not just stopping with sleepy, sluggish Joe.

We're going down to absent Harris and Pelosi as well.

We absolutely need to vacate the chair.

Think about it, Glenn.

Nancy Pelosi would not be Speaker of the House right now if she hadn't built a plexiglass penalty box for COVID-positive members of Congress to vote her in as Speaker of the House.

They only have a five-person majority right now and she built

a box in the House chambers so COVID-positive members can come into this building with COVID and vote for her as Speaker of the House.

She has a very slim majority, and she needs to be removed as Speaker.

She needs to be removed from the chair, and we need to have actual leadership in place here.

Well,

I appreciate your willingness to stand.

I loved it.

I mean,

you still own the bar, right?

Yes, in my restaurant in my restaurant.

Yeah, sorry, sorry.

Yeah, Shooter's Grill.

I loved you when you first came out, and I love the fact that you are still as spirited as you were then.

Thank you for keeping an eye on them.

Let us know when we can help.

Thank you so much.

Thanks so much, Glenn.

You bet.
