but tonight it's time f ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." what a betrayal the war in afghanistan turned out to be. above all, it was a betrayal of the public, the people for 20 years who paid for the occupation are the ones that died there of course, and that's a disaster for the rest of our lives. they lied to, we were all lied to. and we have a right to feel bitter about that. but the war in afghanistan if we are being completely honest

about it, was a betrayal of the afghan people. our leaders made promises to them we knew we couldn't keep. honorable countries don't do that.ri it's shameful. you woke up the other morning to find your american patrons gone. they didn't tell you they were leaving, they just left. so what happens to you now in a country run by the taliban? it's hard to think about that. and yet, tonight many americans are thinking about it and feeling distressed as they do. americans are kind people and generous, they are quicker and more eager to help strangers than anyone else in the world. if you asked 100 people, should we try to help afghans who are facing persecution for helping us? most americans would have said it, of course we should. and we should be glad that they say that. we should be happy to live in a country that loves children and dogs and wants to help refugees. we are generous and empathetic people, and we should be proud. unfortunately, there are many in our ruling class that are anxious to take advantage of that, anxious to take advantage

of our best qualities. they say our decency and our weakness and exploit those things. let's try to save our loyal afghan interpreters we tell them, perfect, they think. we will open the borders and change the democratic balance. that's what we do right now on our southern border. naturally in our name of human rights and compassion. and they would like to do the very same thing for the disaster unfolding in afghanistan. the disaster that they created. watch this kid from msnbc yesterday. remember as you watch that he is regarded with total seriousness in washington as a foreign policy expert, and that his fellow foreign policy experts wholeheartedly agree with him. >> we are talking about an evacuation of people who helped the war, and that is an obligation of the united states, but it is sort of a moral core that is functioning as a moral fear. the biden administration isn't

doing things necessary, like increasing access and letting in refugees by the millions to escape their certain fate at the hands of the taliban. >> tucker: so we must "let in refugees by the millions," said the mustachioed foreign policy expert. the millions. millions is not a handful of loyal afghan interpreters. that is not even a fleet of cargo planes full of afghan interpreters. millions is a good chunk of the entire population of afghanistan. brought to our country at our expense to live in your neighborhood at the very moment on the national fabric is praying, in case you haven't noticed, and the united states is becoming unmistakably morer. that is not one take on msnbc, youus should know, all the clevr people are saying the exact same thing, the u.s. should take as many afghan refugees as it can,h demands a recent headline in "new york magazine." as many refugees as we can?

how many refugees is that? and is it really a good idea to do that for us? don't ask. you are not allowed to ask that question because asking is racist. watch. >> the notion that there are sort of horrific fearmongering and racism doesn't carve out the men and women in afghanistan who kept our soldiers alive for two decades is a new level of reprehensible. >> so right wing personalities using the crisis in afghanistan to push a an anti-refugee sentiment, they are getting caught up in what i call the br, which c is this trumper right-wing fear of people coming into the country from central and south america. and these people seem to be getting swept up into that xenophobia. >> response to the collapse of afghanistan, the fall of kabul, the takeover of the taliban, look at biden, he is trying to get brown people to come into the country. it's sickening and it's

pathetic. >> tucker: [laughs] it's hilarious, is what it is. ithe right wing hates brown people! the only problem is most afghans are not brown. your average green-eyed posture and is as pale as anyone sitting on the set right now. essentially, they are bearded white guys. to the dummies on cable television know that? it is possible they don't know it. from their perspective, anyone who does not have access to the new york city subway must be a foreigner commit all foreigners are brown, we know that. maybe they think that. more likely they know the truth, that calling you a racist is the fastest way to make you obey. do we really need millions of afghan refugees in phoenix, you ask? shut up, racist! okay, go ahead and do it. that's how the process typically works. in fact, that's pretty much how it always works, with everything now. at this point, fighting racism is the universal justification for every bad idea. tear down our statues!

okay. stop teaching math! okay.tu get rid of standardized testing! all right. the fund the police, move millions of afghan refugees to swing states to help thear democratic party. okay. oppose any of it, and you are a racist vehicle in the end it always happens and in this case it may happen and probably will, but what happens then to us? how will this new wave of immigration affect america? will america be a better country, or will it be a little more like afghanistan, which is to say, not really a better eacountry? we can't be sure of what is going to happen, we can't see the future, but for a hint, a glimpse, maybe we ought to pay some attention to what is happened in europe recently. they have just gone through this. one saturday night last month, authorities discovered the body of a 13-year-old next to a tree in vienna, austria. she had been drugged and raped and murdered. it took a few days, but by monday, authorities announced they had arrested two asylum-seekers for the rape and

murdered. the problem is austria's refugee policy. "i find it intolerable for people to come to us and say they are seeking protection and then commit cruel, barbaric crimes in austria." yeah, but now they are getting used to it because it has been happening with increasing frequency throughout western europe, six years. every honest person knows that. may be the dummies on cable news don't, but people who live there know if. shall burn knows it is been an advocate for refugees for decades. she is not against it, she is for it, but she has concluded the west is not capable or doing a good job of successfully assimilating afghan refugees. some, but not all. by every measure come afghan resettlement in europe has been an utter failure. maybe we should pay attention. afghan refugees are notorious for attacks, something

politicians cover up for fear of being called racist. for example, these are bernard's words, a gang of 50 afghans were brushed off by a government official with a remark that this was an unfortunate consequence of bad weather, and quote. you could see that happening here, by the way. in another instance, just last summer, and afghan mike wright was arrested for raping a girl. they said he was not dangerous and anyone who disagreed with that was a racist, of course, the migrant then raped another girl, 13 years old. statistics show this is not just -- germany's government found that rates of violent crime in germany, which had been declining, shut up abruptly in 2015, and that was the moment when refugees from afghan and syria arrived in germany. more than 90% of the new crimes in germany -- the government

government has found -- or committed by asylum-seekers, more than 90%. this is not a slur, it is not slander. those are the numbers. and it is not just a problem in europe. ever been to pakistan? here's's one journalist acknowledging that it is happening in places like iran and yes, pakistan, as well. >> something like 2.8 million refugees in the world are of afghan he refugees, one in ten, and during the trump years, we lowered the refugee admission to the lowest possible level it had ever been, and european countries had shut the door on refugees and sent them back, and that was before all of this happened, so i cannot even imagine what is going to take place afterwards and countries, neighboring countries like pakistan, had something like 1.4 million afghan he refugees, iran has about a million, and now seeing a huge influx that's going to be going there, talking about destabilizing those countries even further.

>> tucker: okay. so, afghan refugees have destabilized countries into which they have moved in large numbers,la but we have a moral obligation to take them, anyway. really? why is that? why is this our unique moral burden. isn't the u.s. government's first obligation to its own people? isn't that the only point of t having a government, to look out for its citizens? why else have a government, actually? that might be a good question for a congressman from grand rapids, he is a republican, but spent months demanding the biden administration import as many afghan refugees as possible. he just sent a letter to the white house, which was signed by dozens of house republicans, just as important to evacuate american citizens as it is to accept afghan refugees, and vice versa. he also tweeted that it is "beyond shameful," in response to a report that the administration's "prioritizing the evacuation of u.s. personnel from the country." so here you have a republican

attacking the biden administration because they are putting american citizens before foreign nationals, and lots of other republicans on capitol hill agree. and this might be a moment to pause and state the obvious. none of this is the fault of the afghan refugees. they are desperate to leave, nobody blames them. most of them are probably great people. the fault is ours. it is with people like that, the idea that you can move people from one completely different country with a completely different culture and language and religion and history on the other side of the globe into our country in large numbers and everything willl be just fine is insane. it doesn't work. there may be a good way to do that. nobody has yet to figure it out, and until somebody dies, maybe we should pause if we care about our own people. the biden administration, by the way, is still refusing to guarantee the safety of americans going to the airport in afghanistan. joe biden's national security visor, jake sullivan, the rhodes scholar, suggested it is

the fault of the americans trapped in afghanistan that they did not leave sooner, even though mark milley and joe biden have been saying for weeks how they would never take over in three days, it couldn't happen. so instead of rescuing those americans still stuck there, we are saving t afghans. one cnn reporter just reported that in fact, relocating more noncitizens, afghans, then we are americans come out of afghanistan. about 330 u.s. citizens left kabul yesterday, along with about -- non-american family members. joe biden has not answered any questions about this. today he walked away from reporters once again without even directing it. meanwhile, american citizens remain trapped. one reporter from real clear politics says he just got off the phones and is getting reports of americans and safe houses at the airport who are "trying to figure out when they can run for it." run for it? that is what americans have been left to do. afghans are certainly doing that.

take a look at this picture of hundreds of afghans crammed into a c17 cargo plane. c this was the air traffic controllers reaction when he saw the flight lift off. >> okay, how many people do you think on your jet? 800 people on your jet? holy -- holy cow. >> tucker: so every one of those 800, according to congressman peter meijer, who is like 33 years old, "risked their lives to help protect american troops." really, peter meijer? how do you know that? well, you don't know that. you are just making it up. you don't know their names, their backgrounds, you don't know squat, but he claims it anyway. steven law, one of mitch mcconnell's chief political operatives come also wants you to know that every one of those afghans on that plane . no need for vetting. in fact, stephen law once every one of them in his neighborhood

immediately. we know that because he said so on social media. right.ed [laughs] but not in his neighborhood, actually. it's pretty easy for people like stephen law to encourage refugees, because they're not going to his neighborhood, they're going to mostly republican states like texas where the democratic party needs help. big picture you have to wonder how long will republican voters tolerate leaders who don't care at all about them? as you may have noticed, we have problems here, we have a housing crisis, by the way, a big one, do you have kids? ask them. available entry-level housing in the united states, homes up to 1400 square feet, is at a five decade low. when the supply shrinks, the median value of a home in california has risen above $800,000 -- first time in history. less than 40% of the millennial generation will only home by the age of 3040. they are all renting, and brent is going up, too, a lack. the growth in median rent --

every state between 2001 and 2019. that is a disaster and a terrible development for american citizens. so why is it happening? well, lots of reasons, but one reason it is happening as america is becoming a lot more crowded than it ever was. in one of the reasons for that as we are now living through the biggest influx of refugees in americanow history. we are on pace for at least 2 million illegal immigrants arriving in america this year alone. that's far more than the number of asylum applicants who arrived -- just over 1 million. that totally changed europe forever. so how many of the afghans that we accept, that steven law and peter meijer are demanding we accept, are going to been family members with them? well, the vast majority, it turns out. it is not just the translators. roughly 70% of the special immigrant visas we have given out in recent years have gone to relatives. more than 70%. so in general, chain migration like this has been a huge driver

of our population growth. it is not americans having more children, it is chain migration. recent data show that each new immigrant sponsored an average of 3.45 additional immigrants, getting a lot more than you thought you were, between 2005 and 2016, 9.3 million foreign nationals were able to resettle in our country for no other reason, except they had extended family members who already lived here. oh! so it is much more than they are telling you. how many of these afghans and their family members, you have to wonder, are excited about coming to america? it's interesting. maybe you should ask that question. maybe you should ask ilhan omar. her position is the only reason that americans might object to -- people born here are actually mediocre and insecure.

watch. >> than you have these crazy people on the right, doing, you know, what they always do, with their fearmongering and their hateful rhetoric. and i know what some of these people are worried about. it's that they're worried that refugees like myself when they come to this country will outshine them. >> tucker: so the obvious response to that is to attack for ilhan omar, but we are not going to do that. the truth is this is our fault. she is our fault. ilhan omar is living proof that we are not very good at resettling refugees. she was saved from a refugee camp in kenya as a child by the kindness and generosity of america, and yet she has grown to hate america and the people who live here. where did she learn those attitudes? well, of course, in college.d our colleges. we taught her to hate our country. she became worse after she got here. we ought to pause before we do that again to anyone. even if they have been translators. lera logan is one of the very few journalists who actually

knows a lot about afghanistan, she lived there, and what might happen if we import millions of afghans into our country. we just finished talking to her for an in-depth conversation on "tucker carlson tonight" and we are going to bring you part of it tonight. here it is. ♪ ♪ tell us what you think is going on in afghanistan, i know it is a broad questionn but give us te overview. >> well, essentially what you are looking at is the collapse of the u.s. will to continue in afghanistan. i think what people really miss in the whole conversation is that the united states has the power to affect anything, and the afghans know that. so what's really interesting about living on the ground with people in a country like afghanistan is you get to see, when you take away the prism of political spin and parties, all the trappings that we have that obscure the truth from us in the u.s., these people, they teach you how to look at things in

their most basic form. >> tucker: that is so true. >> that is what they do, that is how they look at it. they know, for example, the united states could bomb the taliban supplier lines right now. they are coming from pakistan, everybody knows that. they are coming through the border crossing, one of the early once the taliban took in the beginning of this offensive. they know the taliban definitely exists without pakistan. and they know -- >> tucker: the intelligent service. >> write peter when they know the united states funds the entire defense budget of the intelligence services. you could stop the money. you could put sanctions, you could have visas. every time you try to address this issue, the immediate response for 20 years that this war has been, "you are advocating for war in pakistan." no, you are not. what they know as many things the united states could do right now to change what is

happening in afghanistan, and they are not doing it. >> tucker: i'm going to ask you a series of dumb questions. why would the u.s. government be funding the pakistani military and its intelligence? >> [laughs] okay, that is a fantastic question. and really, it's one for the u.s. government. what i can tell you is that when we hear about the bureaucracy that is on capitol hill, which are the bureaucrats who survived from administration to administration, this has been their policy. they have pushed through the bush administration, through clinton, through obama, through trump, and now to biden, that because pakistan is a nuclear nation, they are the only country in that region that actually matters. in fact, joe biden told afghan president, when he was still in power come exactly that. on his listening to her after obama won, he said to him, we don't care about afghanistan. wewe believe that pakistan is te most important country in that region and they always will be.

and that message never ever changed, and what you are seeing in afghanistan today is the result of that policy, because the taliban leadership is based in pakistan. those are the three leadership councils that cover the entire war. for the taliban in afghanistan. they are not just in pakistan, they are in the loving and warm embrace of the isi, who recruits on their behalf. who orders pakistanis in the tribal areas to give up their children to go and fight. they don't have a choice, sometimes, and the united states has known this from day one. i mean, this is the staggering part to me, is that when you hear this debate, "intelligence agencies failed to see this." seriously? seriously? it's known ass the crown jewel f intelligence collection in the

world. there is not a digital signature in existence that they don't collect and store and analyze and have algorithms and everything else to sort through. the idea that they missed this, heres, what it takes to do ano invasion like this, you have to stage forces, you have to plan, you have to have meetings, you have to have, you know, weapons that are moving in -- >> tucker: i'm looking at our producers. [laughs] you are making sense. keep going. >> it's as ridiculous as believing some iranian refugee in the u.s. persuaded the u.s. government to go to war. i mean, that's literally our narrative on the iraq war. seriously? i mean, we get so caught up in the weeds a bit. what they want you to believe is that afghanistan is complicated. because if you complicate it, it is a tactic in information warfare called ambiguity increasing. so now we are all talking about the corruption end of thisal and that in all these complexhe par, but at its heart, everything nothing in the world, in your

personal life, professionally, at its heart, it is very simple. it always comes down to one thing, one or two things, and in afghanistan, this comes down to the fact that the united states wants this outcome. whoever is in poweres right now, whoever is really pulling the strings -- and i don't know that --ht they could do anything they want to change this, and they are not, and you see that on the southern border, you see that with critical race theory, you see that with the violations of big tech, you see it -- i mean, in a thousand different ways, you see it all around you, and what you know from that -- >> tucker: you are telling the truth right now. i can just feel -- i mean, you know, sometimes when you are listening to someone unveil an insight and you haven't tested it against anything, but you just know it's right, what you are saying is right. >> it's very simple. you can have a marriage and be thinking, "should i stay with my wife or leave her?" it can be really complicated, but in the end it will come down

to one critical, defining, major thing, and everything else flows from that, and that is exactly where weth are at in afghanista. the united states government can change this even today, and they don't do it. they don't use the leverage they have with pakistan. they will give you 5,000 reasons, but it doesn't matter. they don't tell you the national security threat posed by letting the cartels come across the southern border, do they? they only have a conversation about the humanitarian aspect. they never address that. what they are not addressing right now -- do you know what they are not addressing? all of the al qaeda and other islamic terrorist literature and communications they are picking up that is celebrating this as a massive defeat. they are not talking about why the taliban are dismantling advanced u.s. military equipment and sending it back over the border to pakistan. and worse, they are not stopping it. we are -- and the nsa and national geospatial agency which controls the satellites and all

these other arms of the united states government are watching this happen in real time. they are seeing advanced u.s. military equipment going over the border into iran and wpakistan, and they are doing nothing to stop it. why not? so what the afghans will tell you, they will tell you is that hathe united states chose this outcome. >> tucker: letter low income amazing person, amazing conversation. she smokes to a spokesman from the taliban, talks about it in a full episode on fox nation right now. her series, "lara logan has no agenda" is on fox nation, 10:00 p.m. eastern on sunday here on the fox news channel. so, we told you about ilhan omar a moment ago. new evidence tonight that she actually did marry her own biological brother in order to cheat our immigration law and stay here. that the fbi knew this and failed to investigate. there is something even more stunning about her we discovered
