On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, We won’t allow the FBI to use the cover of atrocities in Afghanistan to release their report indicating that there was no insurrection at the Capitol on January 6th, citing scant evidence of coordination amongst rioters. When you hollow out a country it weakens the resolve of the military, law enforcement, and the nation’s foreign policy. America needs its resolve back so that it can inspire others again. Then, President Biden says they were prepared for every contingency but then said they weren’t prepared for the rapid collapse. Biden also said Americans weren’t having a hard time getting to the Kabul airport, that was a lie! Sec. Lloyd Austin has admitted to members of Congress that Americans are being beaten in Afghanistan and prevented from getting to the airport. This program recommends to Biden to use his staff to immediately draw a plan to extract every single American citizen out of that hell hole and then a plan targeting the top 10 Taliban commanders. Every minute that goes by without American action the Taliban is strengthening their grip. The Taliban is now going door-to-door searching for and hanging people that have sympathized with Americans. Later, Rep. Brian Mast calls in to discuss his dismay over the idea that American civilians and contractors might be killed by American weapons. Did Biden consider that the enemy could use American anti-aircraft weapons against Americans during extraction efforts? Biden has created a situation where we now have American hostages, it seems that every wrong decision imaginable was their plan all along.

Rough transcript of Hour 1
Hour 1 Segment 1
I’m holding one story in my hand from Reuters. That was dropped this evening, Friday. Well, all this horror and mayhem is taking place in Afghanistan while we have thousands of Americans there. And the story was dropped. Presumably. By the FBI. And so I’m thinking to myself, I got to address this story and I’m certainly going to address what’s going on in Afghanistan, I’ve been doing that for some time now. But I can’t allow the FBI. To use the cover of the of the horror and the turmoil that’s taking place in Afghanistan excuse me, Afghanistan to get away with this. And here’s the story. Reuters. The FBI has found scant evidence. That the January six attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result, according to four current and former law enforcement officials. That’s the FBI leaking. Though federal officials have arrested more than 570 alleged participants. The FBI at this point believes the violence was not centrally coordinated by far right groups or prominent supporters of then-President Donald Trump, according to sources who’ve been either directly involved in or briefed regularly on the wide ranging investigations. Quote, 90 to 95 percent of these are one off cases, said a former senior law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation, quote, Then you have five percent maybe of these militia groups that were more closely organized. But there was no grand scheme with Roger Stone and Alex Jones and all these people to storm the Capitol and take hostages. FBI investigators did find that cells of protesters, including followers of the far right, Oath Keepers now let’s say never say the Marxist group BLM and Cowboys’ groups have aimed to break into the Capitol, but they found no evidence the groups had serious plans about what to do if they made it inside. The source has said, in other words, there was no insurrection. Ladies and gentlemen. And they waited till today to dump it into the media. Prosecutors have filed conspiracy charges against 40 of those defendants, alleging they engaged in some degree of planning before the attack. So far, prosecutors have steered clear of more serious, politically loaded charges that the sources said had been initially discussed by prosecutors such as seditious conspiracy or racketeering. Now it goes on several pages. The American media, the Democrat Party. These American Marxist movements. With their hands around the throat of this country. I said something yesterday that was picked up by an individual on Fox, and correctly so. That when you hollow out a country from within, when you dispirit a country from within. When you. When you create the psyche that a country is. Racist. White dominated. And has insurmountable imperfections. It has an impact on your farm policy. It’s distracting. It’s destabilizing. And as I’ve pointed out, when you use critical race theory in the United States military, you use it at West Point and the Naval Academy and these other places. You weaken the resolve of the American people. And our military and of course, look what they’ve done to our law enforcement. So this is important. It’s very important. That’s the whole point of American Marxism, the book. The entire point. That we need to get our resolve back, we need to be inspired again. We need to do everything we can. To to advance the cause of this country, so I thought I would mention that because the whole goal of the FBI and others who who revealed this today. What’s to in a way that you would know about it? But trust me, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, the others won’t change their minds, won’t change Pelosi’s mind, because so much of this for them is ideological and political and self-serving and narcissistic. It’s that simple. And so they will ignore the facts as much as Joe Biden has. Now, I wrote down here. During the course of the day, several things related to Joe Biden. In his surrender in Afghanistan and the enormous. Enormous bloodshed, death. And dislocation that Biden has created here. First, he said today was amazing and we’ll get to some of the audio, but I just want to sum it up, he said today that al Qaeda has been defeated in Afghanistan. al-Qaida has not been defeated in Afghanistan. They were neutralized in part because we were there with a. With a very sparse noncombat force. But Qaeda. Has not been defeated. Not in Afghanistan and not in Pakistan, where they are as well. He said and has said that the collapse that took place in Afghanistan and the Taliban rolling through the country, that nobody told him about that. I read to you a cable that was sent to the State Department from officials in Kabul. That raised this issue. Some time ago, in fact, right here. It was a cable. That was set on July 13th. Over a month ago. What else? Biden has said they were prepared for every contingency. Well, how could they have been prepared for every contingency if Biden said they weren’t prepared for the rapid collapse of the Afghan military and his sidekick, General Milley, said the same thing. So that’s three lies. But that’s not all. He said Americans are not having problems getting to the airport. Now you have to be deaf, dumb, blind and mentally deranged to say such a thing. Obviously, Americans are having a hell of a time getting to the airport, he can either watch TV, listen to the radio as the secretary of state, ask his secretary of defense. And his secretary of defense, Austin. Told members of Congress in a phone call that yes, and Americans were being beaten. Beeton. That’s for Liz. He said. That there has been no criticism by foreign countries of what he’s done. Now, ladies and gentlemen, there’s criticism everywhere. It’s on television, it’s in the newspapers. It’s everywhere. Everywhere. That’s line number five. All day you’ve heard people say. Well, what should we do now? What should we do now? We got to get our people out. We got to get our people out. What should we do now? Some people, because they’ve approached us from an ideological perspective, they don’t want to contradict their prior positions. On TV and radio, I suppose. So they don’t want to say send in more military to get our people out. The French have. I discussed that last night, the British have I mentioned that last night and now the Germans, they sent commandos, special forces and they get their people. Obviously. We’re not going to do that unless Joe Biden gives the green light. Now. We have civilians as presidents of the United States, Joe Biden has no more experience than anybody else. All he’s done is sat in the Senate for most of his life, vice president, most of his life, which, oddly enough, is a very. What should I say, nebulous job? And now he’s big time president of the United States. So what would you do as president? I know what I do. I call on the secretary of defense, the Joint Chiefs, the heads of our intelligence agencies, and here’s what I’d say. I want to plan on my desk. In one to two hours. On what exactly we should do to get every single one of our citizens out of that hellhole. No conditions. What is it going to take? Resources, personnel. Combat divisions. Air protection. And you better be prepared to institute it. Because I’m going to order you to get every one of our citizens out of that hellhole, every damn one of them. And then if we do that successfully. I’m going to order you to get them out. And for some reason, this is controversial. The men and women who assisted us. While we went into Afghanistan. To kill. Osama bin Laden. And to neutralize the threat there, which we did. And we’ll do our best to get every one of them out in perfect condition, vetting and all the rest of it. But first things first. And on that list, when you present me with your proposals, I want you to include. Taking out. The top 10 people in al-Qaida and their family members, if necessary. That’s what I want on my desk. People want to say we need to get our people out more. How do you recommend we get our people out? It’s going to take force. That’s going to take force because every minute that goes by where we don’t do something akin to that, the Taliban are strengthening their grip on Kabul and the other provinces. But they’re strengthening their grip, they’re even tightening their circle around the Kabul airport. You’ve heard them talk about people going door to door. Well, now have you heard them say that they’re hanging people? Yes, they’re hanging people now. Hangmen. Our government has no idea how many Americans are in Afghanistan, quite strange when they announced a pullout date and Biden said he was going to pull our troops out and our personnel and so forth. Quite strange how they didn’t prepare, isn’t it? They have no idea what the number is. No idea. I’ll be right back.
Hour 1 Segment 2
I’ve been saying for some time now, even before Afghanistan, that the Republicans in the House need to start talking about impeaching Joe Biden. Now, listen, you don’t have to be Albert Einstein to know they don’t have the numbers this time around, but they will have the numbers hopefully next time around. And so things aren’t done with a snap of your fingers. It takes time to lay the groundwork in the foundation. And so I would ask the Republican leadership in the House and in the Senate, what are you waiting for? What does a president actually have to do before Republicans support their impeachment, have sex with an intern? But don’t get me wrong, I think that’s bad and lying about it to a grand jury and a judge, I think that’s very, very bad. But how about a president who defies a Supreme Court ruling? How about a president who keeps the southern border open knowing that criminals? And people with the virus and potentially terrorists can come across, and yet he violates federal law. How about a president who still to this day, I just gave you a five lies. He’s been lying to the American people repeatedly. About a grave situation. In Afghanistan, that is going to spread throughout that region and into our borders. Plus, how about the problem that the whole world sees? Then, in addition. In addition to being a wrecking ball. The man has lost his cognitive sense. And yet we sit here and the Republicans. They don’t mention the impeachment word now, the Democrats mentioned it left and right there, their media mention all the time, their professors mention it all the time against Trump. But Trump didn’t do a damn thing. Then they mentioned the 25th Amendment, which is even harder. No, and I notice the media aren’t bringing in any experts to talk about. Joe Biden’s cognitive issues, whether he’s unhinged, whether he’s mentally ill. Given all the lying that he’s doing and the the complete disconnect between what’s going on in the world and what he says is going on in the world, they go after Donald Trump’s taxes. Why don’t they go after Joe Biden’s list of medicines? I’d love to know what medicines he’s on, that’s all. Why can’t we know what medicines he got? Why can’t we know what medicines? And why don’t they at. I’ll be right back.
Hour 1 Segment 3
Boy, did we miss him. You know, I’m very respectful of President Trump. I don’t bother him. I don’t call him. I don’t ask him to come on my shows and all. But I. I like you miss him enormously. Enormously. And I still cite him frequently. As you well know. And we so badly miss him, don’t we, all those tweets, I think we’ll take the tweets. Now, Joe Biden said that our allies support what he did. Now our allies do not support what he did. And this is one of the reasons Sunday’s Fox show is so, so important. Life, Liberty, and Levin this Sunday at 8:00 p.m. Eastern. You’ve heard him on this program, but. He even has more time on my Fox show, and that is the. Retired colonel, but former commander of British forces in Afghanistan. And he unleashes on Biden and he unleashes. And what this administration has done. You’ll often hear people who’ve not served in the military on TV and radio. Talk about they wouldn’t send their kids here, they wouldn’t do this, they wouldn’t do that. This is a man who fought. He’s a combat veteran. He fought the enemy. Early on in this war, he organized not just British forces, but the coordination of British forces with many American forces. This is a man who fought in Bosnia. This is a man who’s so wise and smart. That our military. Asked him to provide advice for three months in Iraq. And this is a man who. He has provided four years advice. To the British government on how to fight terrorism. So then nation that doesn’t listen to the Mark Levin radio show, much of it does. We’ll get to see. Retired British Colonel Richard Kemp for the first time on Sunday. On Life, Liberty, and Levin. And he was very anxious to do it, the program, but it was not easy for him because he doesn’t live near London. I won’t say where he lives, but he and I become very, very good friends, the family become very, very good friends. Over the years. He’s a huge supporter of the United States. He’s a huge supporter of the state of Israel. They from time to time tap into his wisdom, too, by the way. So this is an extraordinary man. And we will have him exclusively on the Sunday show and keep in mind what Joe Biden said, look, our allies aren’t any problem with us. This not only is he lying because they can’t say enough things about what the screw up did. But wait until you hear the former commander of the British forces. What he has to say. It’s one thing to hear reporters. And so forth. And the second guest is retired Gen. Kellogg. Kellogg was a national security adviser to the president and the vice president. Has had a lot of responsibility throughout his long career. His daughter, his son and a son in law all fought, fought in Afghanistan. His wife was a paratrooper. One of the paratroopers soon landed to free our college students in Grenada. So this is a incredibly patriotic family. And I invited him on because of this constant refrain from Biden and his people and their surrogates in the media that. Oh, Biden did was pick up the Donald Trump plan and run with it. And then after you hear General Kellogg, you realize. What a lie that is. But an absolute lie, that is. It really is a program that could have gone on for two hours. These two men are incredibly fascinating. And so I wanted to bring them to you. I wanted them to have time to talk. It’s not about me, particularly in this area. And I think you’ll be quite, quite impressed. It’s a very important one hour, and as you know, I do my show differently, I do the long form interview. Like interview shows used to be done. I don’t have a conga line of guests flying through with big names, so, you know, to get the the ratings and all, we get ratings by doing it the old fashioned way. Plus, it’s the kind of TV I like to watch some. Creating the kind of TV that I think you like to watch it, you know, we break the mold. With the long form interview on cable, but that’s the way it is, and by the way, it’s like breaking the mold with American Marxism. I don’t buy a box of my book to jack up my numbers on The New York Times list. I don’t care about that. It’s not enough for me to do that. Others do this. And if there’s any bulk purchase of my book, I don’t have anything to do with that. I don’t even know who’s doing it. Oh, I may know, but I can’t. It’s up to them. And I just wanted to tell you, because I think what contribute this Sunday show mightily to the discussion about what’s going on, I feel. Now, so many things to get into here. Joe Biden is always political. He puts his career, his legacy, his party before country. And there’s another piece in Reuters, you know, Reuters is British based, so they’re pretty pissed off because Reuters is a radical left wire service. But they’re not happy right now. And here’s the title. I have a story from Reuters, said Biden, Afghanistan Policy Council on War Weary Americans to Lose Interest. Is it this interesting? Didn’t I say yesterday that Biden is counting on us? To lose interest, to lose focus. And that I hope we don’t. He’s counting on the American people having a short attention span. I said this the other day, and actually that’s what he’s doing, he’s playing rope a dope. So they had their press conference today. It’s not even a press conference, press event standing behind him, the vice president of the United States came out of the witness protection program. The secretary of state came out of the witness protection program. Also, the secretary of defense was there. And they were all wearing black like it’s a funeral. They’re all dressed like antifa, oddly enough, for Black Lives Matter. They all wear the. That particular kind of garb anyway. President Joe Biden is brushing off criticism of his administration’s chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal because he and his aides believe the political fallout at home will be limited, according to White House allies and administration officials. Biden and his top aides argue they are managing an evacuation mission as well as could be expected given the faster than anticipated takeover of the country by Taliban insurgents. I thought he said he didn’t anticipate it happening quickly and are seeking to draw attention back to the choice to get U.S. troops out of the country. The strategy, listen to this, the strategy meaning a military strategy. It’s based on internal public polling that shows the Afghanistan withdrawal had been by far the most popular decision Biden has made, even though the issue is not central for most voters. The public opinion polls. I’m pretty damn clear that Americans wanted out of the ongoing war and don’t want to get back, and it’s true today and it’s going to be true in six months and one by now, I. National security decisions by polling. Whatever happened to doing the right thing? If we do things by polling, ladies and gentlemen, we don’t need a republic. We don’t need a bill of rights. It’s exactly the thing the framers of the Constitution rejected. Temporary factions and even temporary majorities driving a nation in one direction or another, exactly what they rejected. White House officials believe America’s horror over graphic images of the chaos in Kabul, pleas from Afghans who fear they will be killed by the Taliban will morph into support for the president’s decision to pull troops from the country by August 31 after a 20 year war. This is why we ought not fall into the trap. Of constantly calling this a 20 year war. Any more than. Korea is a 60 or 70 year war. As I’ve said over and over and over and over again, on TV, on radio. And in my digital platform. Some people are finally. Understanding it, regurgitating. When you have 2500 people who are not involved in combat and federal contractors who are assisting our allies with their. Mechanics on there and parts on their on their helicopters and so forth, and you have an air base. From which you can launch air attacks, really. Without difficulty, police back then a week or two ago, because there was no other Air Force to attack. You’re not involved in a traditional war when the Afghans are doing most of the fighting. I’m not talking about 10 years ago. Talking about what was taking place the last several years. A 20 year war. And what else is wrong with that phrase, ladies and gentlemen? Well, now the war is going to be endless. Because the enemy was not defeated, which wasn’t even the purpose, the purpose was to neutralize. But now the enemy is not neutralized. The enemy has tens of billions of dollars of our best equipment. The enemy has been armed and revitalized by Joe Biden. The enemy has been armed and revitalized by Joe Biden and his generals. More on that when I return.
Hour 1 Segment 4
Here’s Joe Biden today at his press conference cut 20 go. Let’s put this thing in perspective here. What interest do we have in Afghanistan at this point with Al Qaida gone? We went to Afghanistan for the express purpose of getting rid of Al Qaida in Afghanistan, as well as well as getting Osama bin Laden. And we did all right now. Shortly thereafter, the press secretary at the Department of Defense, Kirby, was confronted by Jennifer Griffin of Fox. And here’s how that went. Katsuko, the president just said that there is no al-Qaida presence in Afghanistan. That does not seem to be correct. Well, what we don’t think is that what we believe is that there isn’t a presence that is significant enough to merit a threat to our homeland, as there was back on 9/11 20 years ago. The president also said there is no national security interest, no national interest in Afghanistan. I’m a little confused by that. Can you explain why there’s no national interest in Afghanistan? Why did we have troops there for 20 years if there’s no national interest in Afghanistan? We had we had a significant interest in being in Afghanistan to our national security 20 years ago. You’ve heard the president talk about this. The the goal was to to defeat decimate al Qaeda, also to prevent al Qaeda from launching attacks on the homeland from Afghanistan. And we did that. OK, so now that we withdrew two thousand five hundred noncombat military personnel, how are we going to do it? How are we going to do it? How are we going to do that? Because they’re more powerful than ever if they’re occupying Afghanistan, because we won’t have forces there anymore, not even 2500, to support the Afghans who were fighting this enemy, to give air cover to the Afghans who were fighting this enemy, to give intelligence to their special forces who were fighting this enemy. And again, you’ll get to hear from the commander of British forces on my show Sunday. Retired British Colonel Richard Kemp, by the way, he looks like. And talks are incredibly intelligent. Right out of a Hollywood script. Right out of a Hollywood script. He looks the part, that’s what I’m saying. But he’s not an armchair commentator, he’s not an armchair. You know, neo pacifist or anything of that sort. This is a man who has put his life on the line for decades. And he’s seen horror. And he is horrified by what’s coming in Afghanistan. He’s disgusted by. And he, too, couldn’t understand. NATO had six or 7000 troops there, America, 2500 noncombat officials, and we, as I’ve discussed with you, and he couldn’t understand what. And why did we do what we did exactly? Oh, it can’t be there forever. Maybe we have to be there forever. I don’t even understand that kind of talk. It’s like we have to secure our border forever, right? We have a big, strong military because we have forever enemies. Some enemies. Our enemies forever. It’s so irrational, that entire phrase, the whole the whole argument is irrational. It doesn’t make any sense. Now, if you want to debate how we should fight and who the general should be, that’s a totally separate discussion. But if people are armed and not really armed and keep going around saying they want to attack us and have attacked us, they’ve attacked our embassies, they’ve attacked our cities, they’ve attacked our Pentagon, for God’s sakes, they’ve kidnapped our people, why don’t we take them seriously and believe what they say? No, no, no, no. We can’t do this forever. No, but they’re going to do it forever. This is the language. Of a country in decline, this is a language of people who are unwilling. To face reality. That we have enemies and some of them are forever enemies, it’s not our fault, they just are what they are. We have criminals in this country, evil people who kill other people who beat other people. Beat them senseless. So why is it so hard to believe that people of that ilk. Are in other countries and have even bigger plans. This has been the most devastating hundred years in human history. Are you aware that with the slaughters by Mao and Stalin and Hitler with World War One and World War Two and subsequent wars? If anything, we should know that there are real live enemies out there, it’s not we drag people into these forever wars and I don’t want to send my kids to war. Nobody wants to send their kids to war, for God’s sake.
