7:05 am
equal opportunity for math kind of sense, how do you feel about freedom of speech, enough canister? the moment you kind of optimistic may be feared the worst when the telephone came into power. but how are you feeling in the moment? i'm feeling neither. i think it's too early and we can't deny eve to assume that they have changed for good freedom of speech is not just reporting on facts. i mean they, they believed that gods on their side. and the holy koran is that a constitution? and then they can never be challenged in time. they will need to be need to get channels and we'll see how much capacity they have for criticism when that happens . too, too, too early. and we have months and months ahead of us to see if they actually their, their actions match the words. it's understandable. we sent an awful lot of people fleeing the heading for the airport. it's been tragic at times, watching the people that tends to get out. have you had any real stops saying look,
7:06 am
you know, we just not comfortable with this. we, we want to go? yes, we have and there are many who want to stay on and continue their work and some who wish to get that. i mean what the top of on doing that and the coming weeks will determine what people do in the years. i had this, this sort of this, this middle class, this youth was 60 percent off front of the age of 20. and they can, they can make or break the country. and if they leave, we lose our educated class. so really it's up to the top line in terms of how they behave and their behavior is going to impact what people do in the months ahead of kind of sounds. plant comes under the microscope in the latest episodes of our going underground show where we hear the thoughts of political commentator jimmy door that's coming your way in full later today. for now. his quick preview. you want a u. s. intervention a military intervention. tell me about which country you want the u. s. intervening
7:07 am
. and i think it's about, i mean, because a lot of people are saying we need to stay in africa and help the women. i say, how about the united states takes about 3 or $4000.00 troops. and invades los angeles and brings health care and medical aid, and shelter to the 60000 homes, people in, in los angeles. how about we invade the inner cities of america? and we bring health care to those people. we bring shelter to those people. we bring medicine to those people. we bring counseling to those people. how about we invade america? and we start trying to help america. when is, when is america going to care about the women? and, you know, one out of 5 kids in america lives in poverty. so if you want to help people, why don't you give women and children want to have women, a living wage in the united states give them health care and give them an education . ironically, that's what the government up gavin ended up until we invented the taliban. ah,
7:08 am
amid the dramatic events of the past few days, it's only recently come to light the one of the taliban commanders who stormed the presidential palace in the capital was actually former resident of the notorious guantanamo bay prison. camp ortiz correspondent to me to pound takes a closer look if the situation and have gas that wasn't already a disaster showcasing the shortcomings of us foreign policy and appetite for regime change. well, it turns out one of the taliban leaders who gave a celebratory speech from couples, presidential palace was none other than a former guantanamo detainees who was released as a quote medium risk. guess seriously, of all the people, the u. s. tortured in guantanamo. this was one of the guys deems thought, really dangerous, and let go meet gold roo honey. one of the 1st detainees at guantanamo in 2002. he was captured by us forces on suspicion of being
7:09 am
a taliban security officer during his time and get more rou, honey. maintain that he was quote, a simple shopkeeper who tried to help americans. so some 5 years later, or 8. according to ronnie, he was released on the promise that he just wanted to help is sick father won an appliance store and couple fast forward to 2021 and he's a taliban commander, leading the take over of cool. so either the u. s. intelligence was, well not really intelligent and let a taliban radical pull one over them and lie his way out of the hands of the ca, or it was the time to spend and get more that actually radicalized the simple shopkeeper into a taliban fanatic. and just a reminder, didn't know is the place the us sounds pretty much anyone the capture near a battlefield and without trial. it didn't matter if a detainee were innocent. indeed, because he lived and they've got to stop and was captured on or near the battle area, he must know something of importance. well, apparently, all the torture and human rights violations that get mall and other us detention
7:10 am
centers turned out to be all for nothing. they apparently got some good and fell out of some of the detainees. but on the other hand, the ones that they let go, went on to became terrorist leaders. yeah, ronnie, isn't the only the teenager and terrorist boss, there's a whole list there is the 5 talib leaders that obama swapped for an american desert, or these leaders were promised to never see a battlefield again. and that they would be held in guitar far from again, san, regardless of the circumstances, whatever those circumstances may turn out to be. we still get an american soldier back if he felt and kept it period full stop yet somehow. they're now apparently the masterminds behind the current take over a couple, one of them is even a part of the official delegation of the taliban. he even took part in negotiating the us withdrawal from janice. then earlier this year we'll see then there are the
7:11 am
isis super terrorists, for example, leap in from us all buck daddy, the former leader of isis. he was captured in 2004, held in detention at a u. s. facility in iraq for 10 months. let go and went on to have a successful career and terrorism becoming the head honcho of the big bad, isis. he was a street thug. when we picked him up in 2004, it's hard to imagine we could about a crystal ball, then that would tell us he'd become head of isis. yeah. if only you could have seen that coming anyway. and then there's this guy who was a valuable and foreman during his time at the hands of us intelligence our that was a song but of unique talent and ability. now he's no less than the current leader of isis replacing all. but daddy turns out he was just using the us to get rid of the competition for the top spot amongst terrorist, another big wolf's. this is kind of beginning to seem like a trend. now, basically, not only did the us fail to recognize dangerous radicals when they were right there
7:12 am
their hands, they apparently even managed to embolden and help radicalized people who probably wouldn't have posed any threat if it weren't for having an encounter with some american intelligence officers. in the end, america seems to be fighting problems itself created. and so many that doesn't even come as a shock. protestors have gathered in london condemning the u. k. government's response to events in afghanistan, calling for those still stuck in the country to be brought to the u. k as quickly as possible. ok, partridge has more. pretty faith afghans i'm supposed to be including m. p. 's and the stop the war coalition gathered outside parliament ahead of the debate on us. got his son there, appealing to the government to bring those who serve the british and american forces in afghanistan to the u. k. to protect them from the taliban on tuesday night, the government said the u. k. will take up to 20000 refugees over the coming years . and number,
7:13 am
which home secretary pretty battelle not says could more than double put opposition figures want to see the plan behind the promises. i'm hoping that the government will both explain the chaos of the evacuation will agree on a much larger number of refugees. counties this come to the support for them, dropped the directly to rhetoric pretty battelle has been dish in the past few months. and a bubble will give us something thing they can learn the foreign policy lesson. britain, after all, is gone to the training, the afghan. i, britain, after all, set up a training cool to the army and the result is not going to go. but meanwhile, the taliban has gone on to pay are offensive to win over hops and mines. and that political leaders have also promised women will have rights, according to sheree, a law, an amnesty for those who work for foreign powers and quashed fears about housing extremists. but relative that those still enough down is done off skeptical and fearful. i came here by 1718 years ago because of these people are now in by home,
7:14 am
and i want to recall it on our back office, one years, a circling of people, every one and you got back in the same spot us one years ago. you're watching tv, killing people. schools are close again. the one was congo outside again, which was 20 years ago. so it's just a waste of money in which the government didn't, if you will. yes. you watch some retails people are just talking from a to playing a fear of valuable. there's no fear, nobody will run like this to the runway. and the aeroplane and just fly with them over. and he dropped dead. they, they, they, they will happy to die like this, not by tele, one. in cobb, all the streets are reportedly com militants mounting checkpoints, the military flights, evacuating diplomats and civilians have restarted at the airport. us president joe biden has defended the decision to collage of afghanistan and these protest this
7:15 am
hope the diplomacy will work long term in a country where military intervention hasn't and thousands had been killed or injured. we need to be thinking very, very seriously about the lessons from the par and what they mean to the foreign policy, the future. and i think it's a day that it's a day of reckoning really. and today, in which the politicians need to action for the 1st time since 2001 think hard and think about the damage that they've done in the series. the far more stuff taken place and they really need to learn the lesson. we have to end this talk through the rules. we have to end this aggressive foreign policy. light of recent events, many of questioning whether the allied forces turned back on the country by withdrawing the troops. we creased people about this in london, a new york. the whole politicians throughout the world should be smoothly hanging their head in shame. what's happening? it's absolutely disgraceful. with cd effects no longer was the everybody, not just
7:16 am
a gun to some european america. everybody was and it has created a great deal of difficulty for people working there. and obviously for the native, a people of afghanistan, it's a shame what's happening over there, but have dentist and they've been fighting for 102 years. the fact that we've been over there for 20 years, we really haven't stabilized the country. there's no reason for us to be over. there are the women that are left behind. i know what it says. you know, the south end regina saying that they will allow women to have the freedom that they've enjoyed have 20 years. but i don't believe it. we got the latest on the humanitarian situation from the un secretary general deputy special representative for afghan has done rama is alex, part of united nations oldest maintains the presidents. we are
7:17 am
present in the country. we continue to operate through all of our agencies and also more than 150 for her strong, humiliating organizations. current gradual improvement distributions between i've seen throughout the countries in some places, schools are reopening and they're providing us or in those settings. and it also helps us you to do is we're able to reach the rates of a team call. we are talking about 18000000 people meet our funding. unfortunately has not been commenced needs since the beginning of the year. been asking for $1300000000.00 around 68 percent of that. we obviously will continue back. ignition stands on this solid building here. women's rights are essential, gender qualities, essential,
7:18 am
and respect to the human rights and essential elements for us to be able to function and to be able to deliver require 8. the true withdrawal is not the only thing the us administration is under fire for biden's national security advisors also admitted a significant amount of us. weaponry is now in taliban hands. those black hawks were not given to the top. they were given to the african national security forces to be able to defend themselves. we don't have a complete picture, obviously of where every article of defense materials has gone by. certainly a fair amount of it has fallen into the hands of the taliban. and obviously, we don't have a sense that they are going to readily hand it over to us at the airport. recent comments by us officials show washington was shocked by the speed at which the taliban states the complete, routed the country, and it remains unclear what to do next. even well drawn plans don't survive 1st
7:19 am
contact with reality. this is happen more rapidly than we anticipated here i, there is chaotic situation in cobble where we don't even have the establishment of a governing authority. when you're at a point where things are happening more quickly than anyone would have anticipated, then you're going to have some cad extend slash listen to us officials discussing f ganna. stan, they don't seem to be providing real information and seem to be emphasizing that they don't have a clear picture of the answers. the questions they're being asked. we are seeing us officials try out an old tried and true method flap on some sanctions and hope everything works out. i am not going to go into the full planet panel play of things that we can do, but there are obviously issues related to sanctions. there remains to be seen whether or not the taliban really cares about us. sanction, however, washington has made clear is not going to sacrifice any more american lives on the
7:20 am
altar of democracy in afghanistan. however, national security, advisor sullivan did make clear. he cares deeply about afghan women, truly deeply. my heart goes out to ask in women and girls in the country today under the telephone. so admitted confusion as the global community looks on the situation and afghan us. dan has a lot of questions for us. leaders about what they did know and didn't know and what's going to happen in the future. i'm sure everyone is totally reassured by these answers that have just been provided by washington. officials press the button stroke a defined tone about his decision to withdraw. shave some afghan stuff, but his claims that the mission was never about nation building. well, they stand in stark contrast. the promises made 20 years ago. moral laugh is easiest on us. it didn't take long for the taliban to fill in the power vacuum left
7:21 am
after the now infamous us pull out, defending the with the rule. president biden pin. the blame on the african government. political leaders of afghanistan were unable to come together for the good of their people unable to negotiate for the future of their country. when the chips were down, they would never have done so while us troops remained them can stand, bearing the brunt of the fighting for them. america's mission and i've got to stand was never supposed to have the nation building, says president bite and in 2021. the alternative to nation building is k. s. senator biden retorts in some parts administration. nation building is still a dirty phrase, but the alternative to nation building is chaos. a chaos that churns out blood thirsty warlords, drug traffickers and terrorist. when the us failed to swiftly hand down, been locked in 2001. the mission shifted towards remodeling the country into an
7:22 am
ideal society that does not breed terrorists. george bush used the exact words nation building when looking back, flashing back at american efforts in the country. we know that true peace will only be achieved when we give the afghan people the means to achieve their own aspirations. pace these will be achieved by helping afghanistan develop its own stable government. but to do that meant to break the spine of the traditionalist african society and implants a new one from reconstruction and aid efforts to overseeing the formation of the new african state army. us trained, of course, and that did not come cheap. the the me
7:23 am
i the the real the wealthiest country in the history of the world. and yet we have the higher trial poverty rates of almost any country on earth. critics, even brandon, the ex president of gunnison, ghani, a u. s. protege, he is a familiar figure to the american establishment, while washington's european allies also didn't have any illusions about what exactly the aim of the mission was. i was things didn't succeed and weren't
7:24 am
accomplished as we had planned. that the realization and the bitter one is terrifying for the millions of afghans who supported the more free society and who with the support of western states. strong for democracy indication and women's rights, and made important progress. moreover, the volumes of books studying us nation building, and i've got to stand one's literally called exactly like that word for word. but the bite and team refused to capitulate 10, just admit defeat. instead, they're trying to hide their intentions behind the abstract facade of the war on terror and branding it as an actual success. we succeeded in achieving those fundamental objectives and the idea that we would sign up for remaining there in the midst of the civil war for another $510.00 or 20 years, was simply not in the national interest, killing bin laden 10 years ago is arguably the only achievement the u. s. has to
7:25 am
show for its mission and i've got to stand other benefits which the country well did enjoy under the u. s. protectorate, like an improvement in women's rights, a lower infant mortality rate and more children going to school. all of that is now left at the taliban mercy. while the ruling leads in washington, too busy writing, revisionist history. u. s. army combat veteran corey mill says that there were always 2 clear objectives of the african mission, eliminate the terrorist threat than rebuild the nation. what went wrong, the minute that americans thought that we were in the business of nation building, what we went over there to do in the very beginning. and i was part of that was to eliminate the terrorists who are responsible for the $911.00 attack and also stop at being a safe haven the terrorism that have been done and perfected with cpr operation irregular warfare. a symmetric warfare and cement operation forces with the, with the support of the intelligence communities,
7:26 am
basically going out putting together h b, t packets. we then got into this ship of nation building and they wanted to continue to perpetuate this idea that we need to stay there and arm and build and defend and help to create a democracy. you know, because we're american are arrogant. see that every other country needs to market like us just never ends when it comes out in this was a lot. busy of plans to begin with, and i tell all my better brothers the sisters who were out there, but it was the suit, not the boots who was responsible for this failure. the taliban and all of the chairs networks. and then we had the watches americans, but they had the time, they never had to leave and they knew they could weigh this out. okay, the reps up for their salary watching our team to national thanks so much for your company. we will continue to bring you our coverage of the unraveling situation in afghanistan. that's our main focus throughout the day. join me for updates in half of
7:27 am
the oh the now we have easy. i just heard that it was a healthy alternative to figure out how do we trust tobacco companies with their message that these new products are actually going to reduce? are these, these are making the tobacco tours the, the, the, the, the, as a bio ministration is continuing to a stand with their strategy and gannet, and president biden is laser focused on accomplishing the core national security
7:28 am
objectives in the united states. and when it comes to f, ganeth stand, that was getting been lobby and degrading al qaeda. we accomplish that and he believes it was time for our troops to come. the taliban however, is saying this. i don't think this is their obligation because they were behind the destruction of afghanistan during the 20 years. so now it is their moral obligation also helped to reconstruct afghanistan, and to help the people to start a new life, a new chapter in a moral obligation or makes one wonder if the united states actually calling the shots, or maybe they're just following orders. this is the pentagon cannot say whether or not they plan to keep a us weapons out of taliban hands. going to give you the in depth look at those who made their fortune off the war. and i can stand. and if you are angry at the thought of the taliban now driving american tanks in foreign, us weapons, wait until you hear who actually pay for them. which upset? because if you need to go the hospital, it might be a very long time before you receive any attention as
7:29 am
a nationwide staff shortages are causing more than just a headache. this as a new, a test i tell you if you suffer from something called long and finally they say a crime doesn't pay, but mayor de blasio thinks you can pay criminals not commit any more crimes. i actually to get because it's sources, but we'll work. we will give you the details. i'm guy, no use and you're watching new shoes right here in our to america. that get started . ah, in the game of war, there are winners. and there are losers. with united states pulling out of afghanistan, many view the united states as the loser, and see the war and get a stand as a absolute total failure. however, there were actually some winners, and we're talking some really big winners to break it down for us to bring in our 2 corresponding contract. ferren, winners, losers,
7:30 am
good gray. so now bring us the list, who were the winners? so let's talk defense contractors, shareholders, the military industrial complex. so we've got some charts for you to look at here. so 1st we're going to take a look at boeing. we have boeing who had an, a total return of $97.00 point or excuse me, 974 percent. now what they did, scotty is this dividend channel drip calculator. they said if you invested 10 grand and 2001, how much would it be today? there you go with boeing, $107000.00. also as we keep looking at these, i want you to not really focus on the board member names, but look at their titles, former vice chair of the joint chiefs of staff. let's go to the next one. we've got raytheon total return, 331 percent. your stock would be worth more than $43000.00, a retired air force, general retired navy admiral for a deputy secretary of defense. we got lockheed martin 1000 to 235 percent. how is
7:31 am
that even possible? 133000. your stock would be worth today or retired or for.
