Thank you so much for your time.
God bless you
Rachel. Thank you.
Former
congregation, Comcast Cammack is
exposing Nancy Pelosis shocking
remarks on Nancy Pelosi,
just wrapped up a call with
Secretary Austin and Secretary
Blinken and General Milley for a
second time on Afghanistan.
During the q and a with members,
Speaker Pelosi just said:
everything sounds like its in a
good place.
Every just needs to get to the
airport,
unbelievable
well. That congresswoman joins
me now with more
congresswoman. There is a lot of
talk today about how out of
Touch Joe Biden is President
Biden: how out of touch is Nancy
Pelosi, given what you heard on
that call,
I think it speaks volumes of
not just the administration and
how they have handled this utter
and total failure of a
withdrawal but democratic
leadership. In general, when the
speaker of the house is saying
that everything seems to be in a
good place, everybody just need
to get to the airport. You know
it took me about ten minutes just
to get my jaw up off the desk.
I couldnt believe when we have
left Americans behind
when we have probably the one of
the worst worst examples of a
american military failure. No
contingency plans in place and
the speaker of the house is
saying everything seems fine.
Madam speaker,
you just cant take an uber to
the airport.
You cant take a casual stroll
through the streets and flash
your papers to the Taliban, who
are manning these checkpoints
and, as you have just been
reporting this morning, there is
mixed messaging.
There is officials saying stay
at home, shelter in place,
dont come to the airport
in our office. We have over one hundred and eighty seven
cases of people from our
district that we are trying to
get out of Afghanistan. The state
department this morning was
saying: send them to the airport.
Do you want to talk about mixed
message? Fumbling and bumbling in
this is across the board an
utter and total failure of
leadership.
Rachel yeah,
its very dangerous mixed
messaging,
Joe Biden claims that Al Qaeda
is gone.
Our own Jennifer given actually
pressed Pentagon press Secretary
John Kirby on this.
Take a listen to this.
I want to get your reaction
have in Afghanistan at this
point with Al Qaeda gone.
We know that Al Qaeda is a
presence as well as ISIS in
Afghanistan,
and we talked about that for
quite some time.
The president just said that
there is no Al Qaeda presence in
Afghanistan
thats to not seem to be correct.
What what we dont think
is what we believe is that
there isnt a presence that is
significant enough to merit a
threat to our homeland, as there
was back on nine slash eleven. Twenty years ago,
Rachel Oof
Congress come cammack. I want to
get your reaction to that im
sure what are they making of
this?
Are they embarrassed?
Do they stand with the
president?
No no.
I have spoken with a democratic
members as well as their staff.
They are royally embarrassed.
This is the bumbling fumbling
Biden Show, and you hear just
right. There, John Kirby, the
Pentagon press secretary
sounding more like Morris Code
than actually able to articulate
one coherent sentence.
They are not even comfortable
with the lines of nonsense that
they are trying to tell sell the
american people on.
That is what is so disturbing.
This is a time in american
history, a point in our nation,
where we need to come together
as Americans,
we dont leave people behind.
We should be focused on getting
to the bottom of this
and accountability in the near
term future.
But right now we have people in
country
we have to get them out.
We should be focused on that
they cant even get their
stories straight of whether or
not there is a presence of
Al Qaeda in country.
I agree with my colleague MIKE
Wolf. He says this is Al Qaeda
three.
We know that I have sat in the
Scif and heard from the
intelligence communities that
there is in fact, a situation
brewing.
So we have known this for
months.
They are peddling, lies trying to
misdirect the american people
and the international community.
And again you know we are
talking about very simple
messaging.
We need all of the leadership on
one sheet of music,
but they cant even get that
right.
People have been asking: where is
the vice president?
Where is Kamala Harris in all of
this?
You know, I think they are
terrified that if she does speak
out, she will end up laughing
when she gets into an
uncomfortable situation, and that
would just be terrible for them
optically
its a terrible mess.
We have a lot of work it do.
We have got to get our american
folks back home,
our nationals back home,
our Srvs out of country.
I will tell you we will do that.
We will not leave our american
behind
to our military. Thank you. You
did not serve in vain
thei believe they will get the J
done.
Rachel congresswoman cammack.
Thank you for joining us this
morning on such important
message,
John Kirby sounds like my
teenagers lying
thanks. So much
appreciate it keep fighting.
