The Taliban’s Terror Hotbed

Sara Carter reports that in less than three years since Joe Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, terrorists have flooded back into the country to train and the next 9/11 may be much closer than most of us realize.

Carter says that to no one’s surprise, women and girls in Afghanistan are facing severe repression from the Taliban, but their cries are met with a cold silence in the Biden White House.

Carter, who reported on different aspects of the war and Afghan culture, and worked feverishly to rescue friends during those final chaotic days before the U.S. left Kabul, is still helping Afghan allies. She welcomes retired U.S. Army veteran Jason Criss Howk to the podcast to discuss the horrific conditions facing females in Afghanistan and why oppression of women also makes the terrorist indoctrination of young men and boys much easier.

How We Got Our Guys Out

Sara Carter revisits the promise Joe Biden made to the world that the Taliban was never going to take over all of Afghanistan until it did. She says you may recall how he vowed the U.S. would stay in Afghanistan until every American got out until it didn’t. And surely you remember how 13 American heroes died during a terrorist attack near the airport.

But Carter says there’s so much more, including the men and women who honored their word to our Afghan friends when the Biden Administration would not. Carter welcomes Jack Melton and Russ Walker, both of whom she collaborated with in August 2021 during the desperate effort to coordinate the escape of our Afghan allies, who were marked for death by the Taliban. Together, they explain the frantic and ingenious plan to save their Afghan friends and how it was executed with urgency and courage.

Vets Still Feel Afghan Impact

American veterans are still feeling the painful impact of the Biden Administration’s abandonment of Afghanistan, after having fought, bled and lost friends there.

Sara Carter discusses the impact with U.S. Army Lt. Col. Scott Mann (Ret.), an organizer of the Pineapple Express, through which veterans helped to rescue more than 700 Afghan allies and their families. Col. Mann offers his take on the Afghan debacle and talks about the challenge of transitioning from military service to civilian life, a change that drove him to the brink of suicide. Here’s the interview.
