CNN host Brianna Keilar clashed with Biden’s National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan over the president’s contention that al Qaeda does not constitute a threat to Americans in Afghanistan. “We know no circumstance where American citizens are carrying an American passport are trying to get through to the airport,” Sullivan claimed. “To the best of our knowledge, the Taliban checkpoints, they are letting through people showing American passports.”
“Alright. So, we know that’s not true,” Keilar said. “We know there are many instances where that has not been true. And the Pentagon has acknowledged that as well. We also — you know, he also said that Al Qaeda is gone from Afghanistan. But, of course, from the U.N., the joint chiefs, we know that is also untrue. Why is he misleading with his words here?”
“First of all, I reject that characterization with respect to al Qaeda,’ Sullivan said. “Right now our intelligence community does not believe that al Qaeda, in Afghanistan, represents a threat to the United States homeland. That’s what the president was referring to.”
“He has also clearly said over time that al Qaeda could, in the future, represent a threat to the U.S. homeland and that is why he has positioned an over-the-horizon capability with intelligence assets and defense assets to ensure that never happens,” he went on. “And he has pointed out that we have been able to deal with and suppress terrorist threats in other countries that do have attack capabilities against America without a permanent military presence on the ground. We intend to do the same thing when it comes to Afghanistan.”
“Americans who have clearly had problems getting through the Taliban?” Keilar asked.
“First, the president has consistently directed his team to do, and what he has explained, in fact, in that very press conference, is that if there are any issues with Americans through the city, we have dealt with those cases one by one and resolved them,” Sullivan said. “When that information is presented to us.”
“There is another challenge, though, Brianna, which your team has reported on quite effectively, which is Americans who then get […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
