>> THE TALIBAN ARE PUTTING THEIR
NEW GOVERNMENT IN PLACE
INCLUDING POSTS FOR FOUR GITMO
DETAINEES RELEASED BY PRESIDENT
BIDEN.
ALL OF THAT’S PART OF THE
PRISONER SWAP FOR BEAU BERGDAHL.
ONE OF THESE BAD GUYS, THE
INTERIOR MINISTER, HAS A $10
MILLION FBI BOUNTY ON HIS HEAD.
HE’S ALSO BELIEVED TO BE HOLDING
AN AMERICAN HOSTAGE.
PRESIDENT BIDEN RECENTLY HAD
THIS TO SAY ABOUT AFGHANISTAN’S
RULER.
>> I THINK -- LET ME PUT IT THIS
WAY.
I THINK THEY’RE GOING THROUGH A
CRISIS ABOUT, DO THEY WANT TO BE
RECOGNIZED BY THE INTERNATIONAL
COMMUNITY AS BEING A LEGITIMATE
GOVERNMENT.
I’M NOT SURE THEY DO.
>> WOW.
IT’S AMAZING.
WE HAVE REPORTING, TWO DEFENSE
DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS REPORTED TO
I BELIEVE IT WAS POLITICO SAYING
GENERAL MACKENZIE WERE CALLING
THEM AFGHAN PARTNERS. ARE THESE THEIR AFGHAN PARTNERS?
ARE THESE THEIR AFGHAN PARTNERS?
FOUR TERRORISTS EXCHANGED IN THE
BERGDAHL DEAL.
THESE ARE OUR PARTNERS?
>> IT IS ONE STEP CLOSER.
THE TALIBAN ARE TESTING US BY
PUTTING FORMER PRISONERS IN THE
HIGHEST RANKS OF GOVERNMENT.
THE TALIBAN SAYS, IN THE U.S.
SAY THEY’RE NOT A RECOGNIZED
TERROR NETWORK.
FINE.
BY PUTTING THE HEAD OF THE
NETWORK AS THE HEAD OF MINISTER
OF INTERIOR, THAT IS A SIGN TO
THE UNITED STATES TO SEE HOW
WILL WE RESPOND.
EVERY ONE OF OUR FOREIGN
ADVERSARIES IS WATCHING.
I GUARANTEE YOU CHINA IS
WATCHING.
THE PROBLEM WITH THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION, WHEN THEY ARE
TESTING THEY CAPITULATE RATHER
THAN PUSHING BACK.
THAT’S THE MOST DANGEROUS SIGNAL
OF ALL.
EVEN IF IT WASN’T ONE OF THE
PRISONERS WHO CAME IN, COULD
HAVE BEEN ANOTHER PRISONER.
THESE ARE THE PEOPLE YOU
IMPRISONED, UNITED STATES.
WE’RE GOING TO PUT THEM IN THE
TOP RANKS OF THE GOVERNMENT.
LET’S SEE WHAT YOU DO.
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS
SITTING.
I WONDER ABOUT THE SIGNAL THAT
IT SENDS NOT JUST TO THE TALIBAN
BUT ALL OF OUR FOREIGN ALLIES.
>> I LAUGHED WHEN I READ IT.
READ IN PART THEY ARE CONCERNED
BY THE TRACK RECORD OF SOME OF
THESE INDIVIDUALS.
THAT’S THE UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE
CENTURY.
>> Harris: THEY’RE WILLING TO
TAKE THE TALIBAN’S GOVERNMENT.
NOBODY IS REALLY TRYING TO GET
OUT OF THERE.
THEY’RE WILLING TO LISTEN TO THE
TALIBAN AT THE SAME TIME.
SENATOR EARNST OF IOWA SAID
SOMETHING I HEARD TODAY.
THEY’RE FROM TWO DIFFERENT AREAS
OF EXPERTISE, OBVIOUSLY,
ALTHOUGH SHE IS A MILITARY
VETERAN.
THAT IS THAT THE STATE
DEPARTMENT IS IN POOR, POOR MODE
IN TERMS OF ITS CRISIS HANDLING.
IT ISN’T ABLE TO DO IT.
SENATOR EARNST SAID, WHAT DO
THEY NEED?
IT’S A MESS.
SENATOR SAYING THEY’RE PART OF
THE PROBLEM.
IT’S ONE THING TO BE IN
DISARRAY.
IT’S ANOTHER THING TO BLOCK
AMERICANS FROM COMING HOME.
YOU DON’T THINK THAT THE ENEMY
SEES THAT.
THAT THE ARM OF OUR GOVERNMENT
THAT’S SUPPOSED TO BE DEALING
WITH IT IS DEFUNCT?
HOW MUCH WILL ROME BURN, AT THIS
POINT?
IT IS A STICK IN OUR EYE FOR
THEM TO PUT SOMEONE IN JAIL IN
CHARGE OF THEIR GOVERNMENT.
THAT’S NOT AN ACCIDENT.
THAT’S ACTUALLY STRATEGY.
>> IT NO DOUBT IS.
BIDEN, I HAVE TO LAUGH, GOING
BACK TWO WEEKS AGO DURING THE
INTERVIEW HE DID WHERE HE SAID
THE TALIBAN IS GOING THROUGH A
CRISIS AS THEY’RE TRYING TO FIND
THEIR PLACE IN THE INTERNATIONAL
COMMUNITY.
I DON’T THINK SO.
WHAT ARE AMERICANS SUPPOSED TO
FEEL RIGHT NOW?
ON ONE HAND WE HAVE OUR LARGEST
LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY THAT HAS
SAID THIS GUY IS ONE OF THE TEN
MOST WANTED CRIMINALS IN THE
ENTIRE PLANET.
YET WE HAVE THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION TELLING US, OH,
WAIT AND SEE APPROACH.
THIS GUY’S IN CHARGE OF ALL OF
LAW ENFORCEMENT OF AFGHANISTAN’S
LARGEST CITY AND WE ARE SUPPOSED
TO WAIT.
WHAT WE SHOULD BE MORE HORRIFIED
ABOUT, THIS SHARIA LAW
GOVERNMENT DOESN’T HAVE A
FEMALE.
I CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF
HUMANS.
THAT INKWHRAOUDS AMERICANS AND
THOSE AFGHANS ON THE GROUND.
I FEAR FOR THEM.
I FEAR FOR THEIR FUTURE.
WE KEEP COMING BACK TO THE SAME
THING.
IT WAS ALL PREVENTEDIBLE.
>> THE WORDS OF THE GOVERNMENT
WERE, WE WANT WOMEN IN
GOVERNMENT.
THE ACTIONS ARE, WE ARE GOING TO
BRUTALIZE THE WOMEN WHO ARE
PROTESTING AND TAKE THEM AS
BRIDES AS VERY YOUNG GIRLS.
THEIR ACTIONS HAVE BEEN CRYSTAL
CLEAR FROM DAY ONE.
>> SEX TRAFFICKING, MURDER, VERY
LUCRATIVE OPIUM TRADE.
THE TALIBAN HAS NOT FOUND ITSELF
IN A CRISIS.
THEY ARE NOW SILLY WITH GUNS,
AMMO, TANKS, GRENADES.
YOU NAME IT, THEY’VE GOT IT.
THEY’RE GOING TO SELL IT TO MAKE
EVEN MORE MONEY.
THEY’RE ACTUALLY IN A FANTASTIC
POSITION.
I DON’T THINK THEY REALLY CARE
WHERE THEY STAND ON THE
INTERNATIONAL STAGE.
YOU KNOW, WE TALK ABOUT THEM
HOLDING ONE AMERICAN HOSTAGE.
THEY COULD HAVE 500 HOSTAGES.
THE IRANIAN HOSTAGE CRISIS, THIS
BEATS THAT BY TEN TIMES.
I WISH THEY WOULD BE MORE
FORWARD LOOKING.
THE MESS THEY HAVE LEFT THERE,
IT WILL HAVE REVERBERATIONS FOR
A LONG TIME.
WHERE IS THE URGENCY?
ENOUGH OF THIS AFGHAN THING AND
THE EXCUSES.
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE HAS LIED
TO US FOR LONG ENOUGH.
THIS ADMINISTRATION ABSOLUTELY
NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
SO FAR THEY HAVE BLOWN IT.
>> NO ACCOUNTABILITY SO FAR.
TO YOUR POINT ABOUT THE TALIBAN
FOOLING US, HE SENDS A PRETTY
CLEAR MESSAGE WHEN THEY ARE SET
TO INAUGURATE THEIR INTERIM
GOVERNMENT ON SEPTEMBER 11.
THEY ARE SENDING A MESSAGE.
>> THEY ARE SENDING A MESSAGE,
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
THERE’S A REAL QUESTION ABOUT
AMERICAN STRENGTH.
THAT IS THE REAL QUESTION, NOT
