On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, One of several terrorists released by President Obama is the current leader of the Taliban’s takeover in Afghanistan. This is one of the most appalling surrenders by any superpower, ever. President Joe Biden has endangered our country as it now faces the threat of terrorism like it hasn’t since 9/11. The Taliban are the ideological equivalent of early-century barbarians. What is the United States giving the Taliban in these negotiations to get Afghans to the Kabul airport? Then, support for the withdrawal plummets as the Taliban has taken control. One poll indicates that upon learning that the Taliban would regain power, most people no longer support a withdrawal from Afghanistan. Later, the Donald Trump critics chant that Trump negotiated this withdrawal, what they fail to recognize is that Trump’s approach was principled and based on making progress in Afghanistan, not the chaos that’s occurring now. Trump was firm and always willing to cut a deal, but he never would have surrendered leaving contractors, and civilians behind. Afterward, James Madison’s writings on property rights are clear, yet the Supreme Court and Joe Biden disagree. In the same way we protect our private property we must protect our own bodies. The government must not be the entity that decides what happens to one’s own property; the individual’s liberty is their own to protect and utilize as they wish. Madison concluded that a government that doesn’t sacredly guard private property rights is therefore putting it in peril.

Rough transcript of Hour 1
Hour 1 Segment 1
You know, I watch this as more information comes out. We now have the the five terrorists released from Guantanamo Bay by Obama. Obama released a lot of terrorists, actually. So did Clinton and so did Carter. Domestic terrorists. But they released these this gang of five for a traitor. And of course, they promised they would not go back to the battlefield. That was good enough for Obama. So Obama has blood on his hands to. It’s time that people be held at least publicly. To account that they be shamed, that they be called out. That they are called out. Because what’s happened here, ladies and gentlemen, will go down in history hundreds of years from now. Hundreds of years from now. As one of the most. Preposterous, appalling. Surrenders. By any superpower in history of mankind, we surrendered. I’m tired of these people who try to go on TV and so forth, that we never should have been there, we never should have been there. Really, we never should have been there. Almost 3000 of our people slaughtered. The Taliban. Give al Qaeda safe haven. Can you think of any president, any great president who would have tolerated that from George Washington and Thomas Jefferson to Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant? The Theodore Roosevelt and Coolidge. To Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan and beyond, do you think they would have left? A terrorist cell. In a place where Americans were slaughtered. More deaths, as I recall, than Pearl Harbor. In this comment, everybody agrees we should have gotten. I’m sorry. After I listen to. The British commander. Of Afghan forces, Richard Kemp, retired Colonel Richard Kemp. And retired four star General Jack Keane. These are smart men. 2,500 noncombat non-combat military personnel, federal contractors. Keeping up the maintenance and the parts. Of the Afghan Air Force, such as it is, and then departing our main air force, which was totally secure. In the middle of the night. Without telling. The Afghan military. Is outrageous, the whole thing is outrageous. If I were to tell you today, just to underscore what I said last night. And if we put 2,500 noncombat personnel. Mostly intelligence, mostly. Facilitator’s. And federal contractors to assist the Taliban Air Force. That we could effectively neutralize Afghanistan, not win. Not impose a Jeffersonian democracy. But neutralize it. I think most people would say yes today. Yet you want to see the polls, by the way. The American people agree with me. Because it’s common sense. We get caught up in the static. Of the isolationists. Who condemn everyone in anything in the Defense Department. Many of those are your sons and your daughters, they don’t deserve condemnation. The senior ranks need to be cleaned up, no question about it, the senior ranks need to be cleaned out, senior ranks of the FBI need to be cleaned out. Senior ranks of our intel services need to be cleaned out. And the funny thing is, when Donald Trump sought to do that, he was brutalized. The media went to Madison County and the rest of them. The idea that Milly still around is is a pathetic. A pathetic situation. But that said. She we take twenty eight thousand troops out of South Korea. That’s been a lot longer than Afghanistan. Tens of thousands of troops, I don’t know how many in NATO and the rest of Europe should we remove them to, should we do all the communist Chinese and Russia’s bidding for them? And then what? We like to get hit. So their navies can shoot off our coast. It’s insanity what I’m hearing right now. But then. You look at Biden in the situation in Afghanistan. We are negotiating and working with the Taliban terrorists. Who helped slaughter 3,000 American citizens on 9/11? On the. On the airport, on the evacuation. My stepson, David, very shrewd, says. What we’re we’re negotiating with the Taliban, what are we giving them? You think they’re just being nice? What are we giving them in exchange for allowing us to evacuate Americans? Because if they’re listening to the Iranians, they know that they can get anything they want because with a Biden presidency negotiating with the Iranians, they are getting everything they want. So now the Taliban has encircled the airport at Kabul. Do you know why they’ve done that? Anybody know why they’ve done that? Because they are going to slaughter. Any person. Any person. Who is an Afghan? Who no one in any way, directly and indirectly supported our efforts and the efforts of our allies. And number two, doesn’t live the life that they demand. People trying to get to the airport are being beaten to a pulp. 30 to 40 or 50,000 individuals. Trying to get to the United States as refugees because they helped us. Can’t get to the airport. They can’t get to the airport, there’s at least 11,000 Americans there. They’re not sure how many. How are they going to get to the airport? In the multiple press conferences that were held by the national security adviser, who is a pathetic joke. By the press secretary, pathetic joke, by the press secretary to the secretary of defense, a shameless former admiral, none of them can answer the question. How are they going to get to the airport, how are American citizens going to get to the airport? And this is a potential for another kidnapping scenario. As others have pointed out correctly. Like Iran. Remember that? There’s a gentleman by the name of Karim Sadjadpour, senior fellow Carnegie, a Carnegie Endowment. Adjunct Professor Georgetown, I know nothing about the man. First question from Taliban to Al Jazeera, female reporter asking about women’s rights, Zabiullah Mujahid, spokes barbarian. For that, Taliban says women have rights as long as they follow Sharia law, they’ll be free speech. He says this is exactly how the Ayatollah Khomeini answered questions when he first came to power, quote. Quote. Freedom of speech. Human rights. And women’s rights will all be protected in accordance with Islamic law. And what that means with these barbarian throwbacks is none of these rights will be protected, they learned from the Islama Nazi regime in Tehran. And now we have an Islam or Nazi regime in Kabul. You know, I use that phrase Islam or Nazi regime to distinguish it from. Reformed Islam, the type that Zuhdi Jasser talks to us about and so many Muslims do practice. This is seventh, eighth, ninth century. Barbarism. That’s what we’re talking about here. The people who keep saying that we should never have been there, we should have gotten out of there and so forth, if we’re hit again, what will they say? If we’re hit again, what will they say? Now, I started talking here behind this microphone with you. Actually, also last week. That we must secure this border now. Now, especially over the weekend, what’s taking place, as we discussed yesterday, we must secure the border, we must secure the border. We are extremely vulnerable on that border, we’re vulnerable not just it’s bad enough to drug cartels, to coyotes, to sex offenders. And all the rest. That the evil underbelly of the Earth has to offer. But now we are we are exposed to terrorism in a way that we haven’t been exposed since before 9/11. And we are led by a man who should not be president of the United States. And I’m still waiting for the Republicans in the House of Representatives to call for his impeachment. I’m still waiting for them to press the so-called moderate Democrats are going to lose. If they don’t immediately distance themselves. From this narcissistic. Egomaniacal old man. You the press was so desperate to see in the Oval Office. Washington Examiner. Anna Ghirardelli. Homeland security report of unprecedented numbers of unknown or suspected terrorists. This is dated yesterday, have crossed the southern border in recent months. Outgoing Border Patrol chief said, can you imagine what it’s going to be like from this day forward? The head of the Border Patrol, Rodney Scott, told his 19,000 agents before retiring August 14 that their national security mission is paramount right now, despite the Biden administration’s focus on immigrant, family and migrant farm. And children who are coming across the US Mexico border at record rates, he said, quote, Over and over again, I see other people talk about our mission, your mission and the context of it being immigration, the current crisis today being an immigration crisis, he said in a video. I firmly believe that it is a national security crisis, immigration is just a subcamp component of it, and right now it’s just a cover for massive amounts of smuggling going across the southern border to include. Suspected terrorists, they call them TSA, DHBs, at a level we have never seen before, at a level we have never seen before. That’s a real threat. Do we have to wait to get hit? To have the courage. To put in the Oval Office a commander in chief who has the best interests of our country. In the forefront of his mind. I talked about this weeks ago, and it’s now more imperative than ever. They impeach Donald Trump for nothing. And I’m not even saying that as they get even. Are you kidding me for a letter, for a phony incitement allegation? Look what this man has done. Joe Biden. I’ll be right back.
Hour 1 Segment 2
The disclosure rights, the Associated Press, a Pentagon spokesman, John Kirby, that U.S. commanders are speaking with Taliban commanders is an indication that the new rulers of Afghanistan, let’s say, will not interfere with the evacuation. This piece is written as really cheerleading this administrate the media in this country. I mean, it’s so disgusting. Some of them are now asking serious questions, you know, after the fact. Of course, Kirby would not discuss details of the Taliban arrangement. That’s what we that’s what we need to know. What are the details? What are we giving up? I don’t think we’ll know for some time. I want to thank the Democrats in Congress for calling Congress back in an emergency session and getting their committees working to find out what’s going on in our national security and foreign policy now that we have more and more terrorists crossing the border, according to the former border control border patrol leader and so forth. I want to thank Congress for their hard work appearing on TV and in some of them hiding out, issuing press releases from their basements. Really, truly fantastic. I’ll be right back.
Hour 1 Segment 3
And again, I don’t know, Karim Sadjadpour and I apologize for mispronouncing the name of the Carnegie Institute and so forth. And he tweets. For perspective, in 2019, only thirteen point four percent of Afghans expressed sympathy for the Taliban. Which is lower than the percentage of Americans, 15 percent who believe in Kuhnen. The Taliban are ruthless. Not popular, he points out, and Glenn Greenwald, who’s very, very bright man. Is very popular these days, particularly on the right with some individuals. I agree with them from time to time. I disagree with them from time to time. And he had posted I don’t see how the U.S. could have left without a Taliban takeover. The Taliban were always the Afghan people. He said there was no way to eradicate them, as has been promised and claimed going back to Bush. But if you but if you’re someone who thinks the withdrawal plan was bad, that’s Biden. And that’s why Karim Sadjadpour points out 2019, only thirteen point four percent of Afghans expressed sympathy for the Taliban. People don’t understand this country very much. I have a number of friends who who escaped from Afghanistan over the years. One had a restaurant. Unfortunately, it doesn’t exist anymore. It was great restaurant years and years ago. I used to go there. He said the Taliban. I have nothing to do or nothing like 90 percent of the people in Afghanistan. People think we’re all. You know, a homogeneous. People are homogeneous. We’re not, he said. These are the least educated. Individuals who’ve decided to distance themselves from the civil society. But they’re willing to slaughter and be slaughtered. Which is not the case typically in a civil society. So. And when Biden says or his people say, we don’t want to be involved in a civil war, who said we wanted to be involved in a civil war, we’re trying to defend ourselves. We were hit on 9/11. I didn’t I wasn’t aware we wanted to be involved in a civil war. There’s lots of agendas being pushed out there, like the most fringe elements in the military, the most fringe elements and think tanks showing up on radio and newspapers on TV. I said we never should have done this for the United States military. Is this the United States military is the strongest on the face of the Earth. Our leaders in the military are a disgrace, not all, but too damn many of them. They undermine President Trump. When you look at what Madison Kelly did. They supported Biden for president. Are they happy now, the tweets really upset them. He really believed January six was an insurrection. You see what’s going on in Afghanistan. That’s an insurrection. That’s an insurrection. A couple hundred people breaching the Capitol building and some of them being let in, who didn’t breach it, that’s not an insurrection. It’s not to be supported. And I never have and I never will, but that’s not an insurrection, and it’s amazing to see Nancy Pelosi first out of the box defending Joe Biden and his outstanding evacuation and then saying she’s concerned about the girls and the women over there. No, she’s not. Here’s something we need to understand fundamentally. You need to understand this. These American Marxists dressed up as Democrat Party officials and operatives. They don’t care about victims. They’re always talking about the perpetrators. In our own country. Oh, the poor criminal. Oh, they’re in prison. Oh, they’re getting long sentences over this race. Oh, they’ve done that. Oh, this, that and the how about the victims and their race? How about the victims that didn’t do a damn thing? They never talk about victims are victims rights, it’s always the prisons are overcrowded, the highest percentage of prisoners sat in the other. They don’t care about victims. They don’t care about human life, it’s not number one on their priority list, abortion on demand. When you see that baby in the womb, our technology and science have advanced where we can see the baby. We know it’s a baby. We know it can survive. They pretend it’s not OK. If you lack a complete conscience. Then you’re not. Life is not number one on your priority list, they speak words, you know, we believe in human rights and we’re concerned about the women and the girls in Afghanistan. No, they’re not. How are they concerned, what have they done to show that they’re concerned anything? They’re not concerned about them. I don’t see the women in the Democrat Party marching to the White House concerned about the women and girls in Afghanistan, do you? Do you? No, you don’t. You know who else, the silent. The squad, a.k.a. their communist Marxist cabal. You hear nothing from them. Where are they? I hear this. This Corey Bush, she just got 100,000 dollar book deal. Oh, Talibe is a landlord. We found out she’s collecting rent. Oh, these are frauds and phonies and Marxists who live one way. And promote another way. You see what’s going on in Afghanistan. What do you think happens to a country? That destroys. That destroys that unity. What do you think happens to a country? That breeds hate and racism. See the white people over there? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, you’re a black person and you don’t agree with us. You belong over there with the white people. There’s a lot of thinking like the Taliban, isn’t there? Yes, there is. Pull down those monuments, don’t you know? No, no, no, the history destroy American history didn’t begin, 1772 began 619. And the nation. It’s poison from the word go. Every white person is to be hated. Every black person is a victim. But that’s not true, it doesn’t matter. They’re creating. Oppressed versus oppressor and the brainwashing people. And they want to brainwash them as young as possible. Freedom is a delicate thing, ladies and gentlemen. There’s never been another country like this country. Excuse me. And I suspect there never will be. But it’s important. That we try and keep what we have. But these forces in our country. Which is now populated the Democrat Party, populated the media. Certainly populate. Accademia. This magnificent. That you experience every day. Is being threatened in a severe and grave way. And when the civil society collapses, when the rule of law means nothing. When the street is everything. You get what you see dressed up as something else, you can see it in Afghanistan, you can see it in Iran, you can see it in the streets of China, you can see it in all these repressive regimes. The Democrat Party calling the Republican Party. Jim Crow, Biden doing this and that, you are pressing the vote, suppressing the vote. Projecting onto their opponents and projecting onto our system, which actually takes place in these horrific genocidal regimes, this is serious stuff. Trying to destroy this nation from within. The Democrat Party leaders are. Absolutely silent today. Mr. Winters, have we heard anything from Schumer? Durbin. Pelosi. Clyburn. Hoyer. AOC. Talibe. Nothing about women and children. This is important to remember. This is important to remember. It’s absolutely shocking. In our own country. It’s not just the American Marxists, it’s others, it’s the isolationists and so forth. Get out, get out, get out, get out, get out, get out, get out, get out, get out. We don’t fight 20 year wars. We’re not fighting a 20 year war. Not a single American soldier died in the last year and a half, we pulled out our combat forces in 2014. We have a President Obama who released terrorists. Mass murders. Back to Afghanistan, but they promised they wouldn’t go back to the battlefield, they promised, they promised Obama knows that they lie and Obama lied to us. And Obama has been buddies with domestic terrorists. Like Bill Ayers and Obama has pardoned domestic terrorists. You want to talk about violence and incitement. There you are. Biden oversaw the massive spread of ISIS, the horrific torture, mass murder, abuse of women that took place. This guy has ice water in his veins. Look at him, watch him when he talks and he squints and cringes. True narcissist and a truly dumb man always has been. With a massive ego. Always has been. I’ll be right back.
Hour 1 Segment 4
Politico this morning called the Politico poll showed support dropping 20 percent since April for what support for Afghanistan withdrawal plummets. As Taliban seized control and I bet if the American people knew we’re talking about 2,500 noncombat forces. Did you know it was 2,500 noncombat forces last week, ladies and gentlemen? It’s not said much, but when we had the former commander for British forces in Afghanistan, Colonel Richard Camp and four star general, our friend, former vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Jack keen on explaining these things to us and explaining how this collapse occurred, sort of sets things right, which is why I try to use this program to take our time to walk through these issues. The results reflect the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan and a rapid Taliban takeover now amid the U.S. withdraw from the country and they explain what’s taking place. Well, let’s see here, support for withdrawal remained a partisan divide, with 69 percent of Democrats, 31 percent of Republicans supporting it. Still, just 38 percent of Democrats and 14 percent of Republicans supported the withdrawal is going well. Yeah, you have to literally be in it. When asked whether the U.S. should still withdraw its military presence, if this would create an opportunity for terrorist groups like al-Qaida to establish operations in Afghanistan, voters were less supportive. Just 35 percent of participants said the American military should withdraw in this case, 48 percent saying it should not. The highlights, this highlights the fear of terrorism coming from the country. The voters surveyed, 38 percent said the U.S. should still withdraw if the Taliban regains control of most of Afghanistan, 48 percent of voters said the U.S. should probably or definitely not withdraw. That’s a larger share than those who generally oppose the decision to withdraw. So a larger percentage of those surveyed Americans. Opposed withdrawing now. The polls were drawing, and if they put in that poll, as I said, the question, did you know we’re talking about 2500 noncombat? I think would be even larger than that, because all you keep hearing is it’s a 20 year war. And it’s a hot war. And American lives are being lost last 18 months, not one was lost. In other words, after 20 years, things were actually working, in my view. Not beautifully. That’s not the point, working to our advantage that they weren’t able to build a terror network, they weren’t able to to conduct themselves and launch attacks on us. That’s the whole point. That’s why we were there, not just to get bin Laden here. That’s where we got bin Laden. Let’s get the hell out. But that wasn’t the only thing. Now, those who say, you know, we should have built a democracy there. I agree, that’s ridiculous. But that’s not what I’m talking about, is it? If you have a mortgage on your home. There’s a good and I want to talk when we come back after the top of the hour about President Trump, because I think he’s getting a bum rap here big time. If you have a mortgage on your home, there’s a good chance you can find a better rate or more comfortable loan terms, and I mean it, the market’s in your favor when it comes to home financing. Rates are still around three percent, the adverse market fee is gone. It all adds up to significant savings, both short term and long term, unless you wait. Unless you wait. What goes down must come up. Oh, yes, here’s a quick montage of national security adviser says we knew it was possible Taliban would take over. Biden says that was highly unlikely, but one go. We were clear eyed going in when we made this decision that it was possible that the Taliban would end up in control of Afghanistan. But the likelihood there’s going to be the Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely. Highly unlikely. And now the intelligence agencies are leaking, saying, we told Biden, we Tolba, you know, 10 years ago, I would have said I’ll bet they did. Now I say they’re all covering their asses. They’re all covering their butts. The intelligence agencies, the senior brass at the Defense Department. Biden’s staff, Biden’s out there like the knucklehead he is, you know, it’s not funny anymore, it’s not for all the guys to mention. So they are dangerous and in some ways even evil man, he’s way, way over his head. I’ll be right back.
