As seen on “The 700 Club,” August 25, 2021. Read Transcript


- Well, welcome to this special edition

of "The 700 Club."

You take control of the show today.

From all across America,

you called and left yourvoicemail questions,

and today we're going tohear your voices on the air

and answer your questions,hopefully, today.

But first, in the news.

Heartless, cruel, clueless,

and totally disconnected from reality.

That's how one veteranof the Afghanistan war

describes President Biden's decision

to double down his August 31st deadline.

Meanwhile, classifiedbriefings reveal that Americans

and Afghans are beinghunted down by the Taliban.

The ramifications of Biden'sbotched plans are untold,

including the plunging disapproval

of the president'shandling of this crisis.

Charlene Aaron has more.

- President Biden is dismissing criticism

from G7 members and evenDemocrats over his decision

to not extend that August 31st deadline.

That as thousands of Americans and Afghans

remain trapped in Kabulunder growing threats

from the Taliban.

Growing desperation as families,including many Americans,

attempt to flee Taliban rule.

The terror group controllingaccess to the airport,

now saying it won't allow anyAfghans to leave the country.

- We're waiting to get through,

but they're not letting us at the moment.

- [Charlene] PresidentBiden, Tuesday, saying

the evacuation is on schedule.

- We are currently on a paceto finish by August the 31st.

The sooner we can finish, the better.

Each day of operations bringsadded risk to our troops.

- [Charlene] More than 70,000people have been evacuated

in the past 10 days, includingmore than 5,400 Americans,

but many more are stilltrapped behind Taliban lines.

The president's decision tohold to the August 31st deadline

facing fierce opposition on all fronts.

GOP Congressman Mike Waltz

speaking on CBN's "Faith Nation" program.

- It's both heartless, it's cruel,

and it's clueless interms of the disconnect

between the reality on the ground.

- [Charlene] Waltz, a veteranof the war in Afghanistan,

says the president's public statements

don't match closed-doorintelligence briefings.

- What we're hearing in private

from his own team in classified briefings,

where they admit thatAmericans and our Afghan allies

are being hunted down, they're in danger,

and that Al-Qaeda is goingto come roaring back.

It's not a matter of if, but just when.

- [Charlene] Even Democratsdoubt the evacuation

can be completed in time andare calling for an extension.

- We must do everything necessary

regardless of the deadlineat the of the month.

We must extend that andget the mission done.

The deadline is when themission is accomplished

and we bring our people home, full stop.

- [Charlene] Meanwhile, Waltzwill introduce a measure

condemning the president's failure

to heed advice of militaryand intelligence advisers

and warning the US will paya heavy price in the future.

- We're just weeks away fromthe 20th anniversary of 9/11,

and yet we're being dictated to

by the Taliban 20 years later

and Al-Qaeda is going to beback again for some future 9/11.

So the blood that's goingto be on Biden's hands

is not just the Americans and Afghans

trapped in Kabul right now as we speak,

but that future attack on the homeland

and future American soldiersthat are gonna have to go back

once again and deal withthe threat of terrorism,

but this time with nobases, no local allies,

and with a Talibanthat's armed to the teeth

with our own equipment that we allowed

to fall in their hands.

- Meanwhile, a new USAToday/Suffolk University poll

shows President Biden'soverall approval rating

has dropped to 41%, with 62% disapproving

of his handling of the crisis.

Charlene Aaron, CBN News.

- Ladies and gentlemen,America voted him into office.

We have a president whois in advanced stages

of senile dementia, he is unable to act,

he doesn't know how to make up his mind,

and America is now thelaughingstock of the world

because our nation isn't able to function

and our allies no longer trust us,

the enemies no longer fear us.

And this is the legacy.

We voted for him.

Not me, I didn't vote for him,

but America voted forhim, put him in office.

Senile dementia.

He is ruining our country.

And in a short period of time,

he has done more to destroythe reputation of America

than perhaps has happened in its history.

It is unbelievably bad.

But nevertheless, God is on the throne

and that's the thing thatI wanted to emphasize

on this program today.
