"Offer New York Times bestselling books and also Chairman of Act for America. Her latest bestseller is Rise. Brigitte Gabriel. Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show and Proceed. How are you? Doing great, my friend. Delighted to be back with you. Good to have you together with me. I'll tell you what, you're the Middle Eastern expert and I had hoped these things would not transpire as they are. Can you tell the American people What is happening now in Afghanistan and how you think things are going to turn out with this disastrous effort? Biden's bloodbath What is happening now in Afghanistan? We'll look at the situation in Afghanistan has such certification not just to the United States, but it is literally reshaping history for decades to come, because if you are a Russian, Chinese and Iranian or European, what's happening in Afghanistan is not about the Taliban. It is about The fall of America, and it's a set statement to say this, uh, two weeks before the 20th anniversary of 9 11. And here's the irony bill, the Islamic the Taliban name their state, the Islamic emirate of Afghanistan and announced it out of the presidential palace in Kabul. That was the name of the Taliban government ousted by the United United States back in 2000 and one that's that's what we are right now. How sad is it on the 20th anniversary of 9 11 and about 2.5 for three weeks that the Taliban will have over the American Embassy, their flag and they're tweeting out. Things such as the infidel is dead. I can recall. Maybe we were together 20 years ago on the air, talking about the six month campaign. In the hills around Kandahar. What a great success. It was to dislodge Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden from Afghanistan Now, 20 years later, $2 Trillion about 2.5 1000 dead Americans about I don't know 400,000 dead Afghanis. And right now we're back where we started. What have we gained through 20 years in Afghanistan. We gave nothing and actually build. We are worse than when we started because when we started, the Taliban were fragmented little guy. You know of fighting in grabs, hiding in the caves of Afghanistan Right now, the Taliban are funded to the tune of billions of dollars. They are recognized by China recognised by Russia, recognized by Turkey, recognized by the Iranians who all have interest and the resources in Afghanistan. So the Taliban are going to have a steady flow of business money coming in. This is not going to be stealing money or getting things going. All these foreign governments haven't and Trust right now and working with the Taliban and the Chinese are going to be the biggest winners because America right now is irrelevant and what's scary about this is right now the Taliban are forming the epicenter of what's going to be the epicenter of jihad worldwide. They're already saying that they want to export jihad. Throughout the world, and we have seen such an incredible optic in jihadist social media and jihadists posting on the Internet, celebrating the victory of the Taliban and vowing to come to Afghanistan. Some of them have already started making their way to Afghanistan to participate in this incredible victory because they believe Allah has blessed the Taliban for their faithfulness for their commitment to their Sharia law. And this is how Allah is blessing them and They want to become a part of the Islamic resurrection a movement because they're looking at the Taliban and the Islamic emirate of Afghanistan right now as a replacement caliphate to Isis. So while Trump destroyed Isis, now the Muslim Brotherhood who have no law, there are no longer welcomed in Turkey. They're looking for another place to resettle. They're looking at Afghanistan. You have other terrorist organizations looking into Afghanistan. And we will have zero intelligence coming out of Afghanistan under the group of the Taliban were not going to be able to get any informants, no matter how much we pay them, because no one will trust the Americans, or, for that matter, any foreign Western, a government to be able to work with them and provide intelligence because they know they cannot trust America. Brigitte Gabriel. I can only imagine the sale of our most advanced military equipment is taking place as we speak to the Communist Red Chinese. To the Russians to the North Koreans. I can't conceive of what's happening when America's most advanced weaponry has now fallen into the hands of the Taliban, who will sell it. China who now has diplomatic relations with the Afghanis to me. How is it possible that the American suits I trust the boots on the ground? I don't trust the suits like General Mark Milley and Lloyd Austin, the secretary defense who was a general, I don't trust him at all. How bad is it when American military Turns over drones and tanks, helicopter gunships and tens of thousands of weaponry to the Taliban. How is that possible? Well, it's possible because they have not been paying attention. This is what happens. Look, we have 17 intelligence agencies in America. We are the world's most lavishly over funded intelligence community. They all failed us. But this is what happens when you're focused as a military becomes on gender equality, transgender rights in the military, and that would certifying Bell, the whistle flying of the military and teaching critical race theory. I know and by the way, instead of doing their job at the embassy in Afghanistan, understanding our enemy here's what they posted in their Twitter feed in June. The month of June is recognized as LGBT. I pied Months. The United States respects the dignity and equality of LGBT people and celebrates their contribution to the society. We remain committed to supporting civil rights of minorities, including LGBT persons, has that pride 2021 has stock pride months Now, I'm sure the Taliban draw really impressed and shaking in their boots. When they read where our priorities lie. I do hope they've managed to evacuate the embassy's L G B. Q flag before the sacking started, but our leaders are not paying attention. GENERAL AUSTIN Scott Miller, the commander of U. S and NATO troops in Afghanistan, said he was shocked. I tell you he was shocked by how quickly the Afghan national Army had surrendered to the Taliban now. I don't know whether he's a three star general four star general or a 20 star general, I don't care. But a guy who professes to be shocked by how quickly the Afghan National Army has surrendered to the Taliban has no business being a general or leading our military. But all the top brass bell all they're interested, and they have become so political. All they care about is what the next lobby job I'm going to get. What's the next strength? I'm going to get how much money alive? Going to make in my next assignment. That's what they care about, and that's why we're failing. And that's why every single one of them should be held accountable. They should lose their jobs. The secretary of defense, the secretary of state that the chief of the Joint Forces staff, but what the president needs to resign. The American people must.

The United States has been bogged down in Afghanistan for 20 years and the longest war in history for our country and before that the Soviet Union. Couldn't couldn't manage the war that they had in Afghanistan for over a decade. Yeah, yesterday, the top U. S general in the country. Army General Austin Scott Miller formerly relinquished his command. Joining us this morning from London to discuss the withdrawal of Allied forces from Afghanistan is Simon Owen. Good morning, Simon. Good morning, Amy morning gave so now that he's left how many troops are still there? Well, we don't know. But we're talking small numbers, and this drawdown has been going on over the past few months, and it is clearly nearly completed if they're shutting down the post of having a U. S commander on the ground because Scott Miller four star general, he's been in the role for just in the three years handed is Authority yesterday to fellow General Frank McKenzie, Marine general. But Mackenzie is going to be based in the U. S Essential command headquarters in Florida. He will not be on the ground in Afghanistan and his mission only runs until the end of next month. This is very much a stopgap appointments because President Biden has said August 31st. As the date when the U. S mission in Afghanistan will end after 20 years, so it's relinquishing by General Miller was handed over. They handed over at the facts. A small ceremony in Kabul and both of the generals were there. Scott Miller, who's the outgoing general use this event to search the Taliban to engage with the peace process that the Taliban is racing across Afghanistan, recapturing strict at the moment. And General, Miller said, the violence that's going on against the will of the Afghan people, and it needs to stop needs to stop. But good luck. You're on your own. How is this going to be characterized in Washington at the Pentagon? It seems to me that, uh, you know, if they're going to be honest, I'd have to say We can't. We can't. We can't do anything about this. But I mean the prospect of what comes next for Afghanistan is a fairly striking one because there are plenty of warnings that this is a country that's set to spiral on the brink of chaos could be very swiftly in a civil war, depending on how the Taliban decides to press its advantages over the months ahead. The Taliban has said in recent days that it now controls 85% of Afghanistan. Afghanistan's territory Now that the Afghan government says that is an outrageous over exaggeration. But at the same time, the Taliban has clearly been recapturing districts and often doing it without encountering much of a fight from the Afghan security forces that the U. S and its allies have invested so much whether it's in, you know, as you say, blood and treasure. And in trying to get these security forces ready to go. And yet at the moment, it doesn't seem to be the case. The Taliban does not appear to be moving on Many urban centers at this stage so they might have a lot of territory motivates the countryside. Question is going to be, I suppose you do decide to press their advantage is an attack Cities maybe even attacked Kabul in the weeks and months had All right, Simon. Thanks So much for the update. We do appreciate it. Thank you. Simon Owen from London. Are you a good tipper? Yes, I would have guessed you are So am I. I think I think so. Especially recently during the whole covid thing.

There are different technologies that are being used. It's not one specific technology that's going to be the answer. They have to incorporate all of them. Together.

Whether it's somebody's voice. Somebody tapping on a pipe Somebody tapping on rebar, the metal within the concrete, Then what they'll do is they'll hone in on that area. They'll try and send in a fish eye camera, which is basically a very small camera. That's on kind of a flexible type of rope that you can feel into the small premises and then they've got a small screen that they're looking at, and they try and pick up not only people inside there, but void areas so as they go through the And they said, Void area Then they're going to use have a machinery to lift that stuff up and try and get in there. Send the dogs in next they'll send people basically on their belly crawling through there. You mentioned drones as well. So what role do they play? In this case? The drone does a couple of things as soon as they can get on the ground and they can get no drone launched And this is somewhat new technology there, gritting the area, and what they want to do is be able to get an accurate Snapshot at a close range above the actual rubble pile and they're going through and they are listing and like a one a two etcetera, and so they're utilizing that grid as geography on where they searched where they want to search and where they're getting hits. They also do that for the safety of rescuers. Because they want to keep an eye on the integrity of the pile. So we've seen a number of disasters over just the past week. Here in this country, both natural and otherwise, you know, heat in the northwest or flooding in Detroit, and, you know, kind of all coming against the backdrop of an aging infrastructure. So where do you see the future of this technology going as we look to the next couple of years technology, especially in the five G realm. Is starting to be very promising with regards to not just rescue but safety in general for many years as firefighters are archaic way of trying to search for people was literally to put on self contained breathing apparatus and all of protective gear and get on their hands and knees and crawl in a very systematic pattern. Then came along infrared technology that would pick up you know the heat of a body quickly. So we are going to see in the very near future.
