Great presentation of the facts by Rep Young Kim especially the part that Blinken does not understand
actually they could have left they stayed out of something called free will.
@@leifseed the videos/reports of the Taliban knocking on doors to find americans/allies and the fact people are recording themselves/the taliban in Afghanistan saying they're being FORCED to stay there betray your statement.
@@ohmygawd601 you've probably made dumber comments than that sadly
@@leifseed hey at least i could never make one as idiotic as yours so i have that going for me.
Edit: the pentagon just confirmed their drone strike against Isis-K was actually an aid to the U.S and Afghanistan along with his family as well. I guess America's back, huh?
@@ohmygawd601 True
Thank you Young Kim for standing up to this administration and demanding their word. The ball is in their court now.
Take Blinken to the airports in Afghanistan, and tell him he can't leave until all of the people that he had abandoned are back at home. Watch how quickly the State Department works then.
The whole bunch love the Taliban, please parachute all of them into Afghanistan, they can find their own way out.
I like your idea!
Sounds great!
Question= "How do We Get These People- In order to 'Drop' them into Afghanistan?"😕💢💥
@@cj.t.7321 maybe we could call upon Israel to send MOSSAD to us to gather them up and transport them to Afghanistan... Trust Me, if MOSSAD was to be given the GO AHEAD, it would happen within a couple of hours in one night and before anyone realized what took place!
He's lying, they're not going to do anything. Excuse, excuse!
Mike: what is,Your evidence ?
I do not like your comment
This alone is reason for him to step down or be removed... after hearing his response he just needs to go- he's not going to step down
From biden and all the way down to his cabinet members need to go.
Blinken needs to answer questions with honesty and then resign
I like the way she handled this.
"Keep your answers short", as in, do not go on a long rambling speech making up excuses.
Although he was talking over her because they don't want these retired military, civilians and allys getting it done because it SHOWS THE WORLD THIS ADMIN IS INTENTIONALLY BLOCKING THE RESCUES‼️
@@cindf3456
You have said the
"Key word" of the 46th administration ,🥰
There is no doubt they "block the rescues"that they can to save people from the Taliban regime !
@@rolandboeing agreed as reported live from some involved in the rescues waiting for clearance in undisclosed locations. So grateful for these courageous ones! God's speed to each one‼️🙏
In other words don't blow smoke up my ass
And then Blinken does Exactly That! All talk & no action, or stupid actions. That's Biden's entire career in a nutshell. He appoints people with the same M.O.
She is obviously smarter than Blinken please give her boss job !
I can easily tell, this woman, is a true American!
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
makes up for her north korean counterpart sung
Other Afganistans that made it on planes weren't qualified to come here.
Afghans
This guy Blinken is a character straight out of MAD MAGAZINE !!
Obviously not gonna help the rescue mission
I would've said "Cracked" but, close enough
He's the Biden administration's version of Pee-Wee Herman.
No. He's not that well-written.
Well done Kim. You exposed Blinken's failures very well.
I love her attitude and glare towards him.
Build back backwards administration is extraordinary.
Afghanistan catastrophe
Do you love to interrupt?🤦🏼♂️
Thank you Young Kim
Articulate, informed and steady.
It’s nice to see someone from ca take this position.
Yes, it is. She’s Wonderful
@@donaldw6049 I’ve met her here during a city function. Pretty down to earth for a politician.
Young Kim is doing a great job! Thank you for bringing sense into California and USA🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
She wanted his approval NOW. He says wait until we set up a system. He is a fool.
Never would have expected this from someone from California 👏. Good on you lady!
This an extremely sad state of affairs we all know who is accountable
You are accountable for this dumb comment. Biden is responsible for getting as many out and he could they decided to stay. They could have left long ago. Fool wake up.
We are. These people have none
@@leifseed do you believe your own b s on top of the proported one? Or do you trust the words of the party exclusively in spite of logical reasoning?
If a fact yo JoeF***** up
@@leifseed How would they know to leave? How could those waiting for their SIV leave? Where was the help getting them out?
She held a match to his toes and went straight to the heart of the matter
He raises his voice to a lady, but when he's is questioned by men, he is terrified!!
POS
@@terachuck156 WELL SAID!
He's always terrified, regardless of who is questioning him. But as you said, he raises his voice only when he answers to a lady.
These are the same gang supporting Hillary in 2016, advocating feminism and women's rights!
Beauty brains and heart Young Kim!!!!
"We made a mess and now we are just so busy we don't have time to clean it up".
Biden made a mess and he doesn't know it yet.
I think they made a mess and are cleaning it up by leaving those people over there. Can you imagine the stories they would have if they make it back to the USA.
Young Kim is a rockstar! You go girl! Blinken needs to go.
So, rather than commit to helping Rep. Young Kim, he is committed to ensuring he stays in compliance with the demands of the Taliban.
Exactly!
I feel bad for Mrs. Kim as she seems like she wants to do the right thing and we have Blinken just trying to shut her up until he can go back to NOT answering her calls.
This is just political theater along petty partisan BS. Considering the fact that this was done in accordance with the flawed Doha agreement that Trump made with the Taliban in early 2020 to pull US forces out of Afghanistan by summer of 2021. Flawed because the negotiations were without the Afghan gov't. And even when the Taliban broke the agreement right off the bat, the Trump admin continued to pull out of forces. U want to talk about looking weak?
As for the chaotic withdraw, the reason why this happened was because the Taliban unexpectedly took over the country so quickly. They can out of the bush in open offensive with the end of US and NATO military commitment. They captured Kabul a week after taking the major cities in the south. That means the US no longer had military leverage on the ground to control the situation during the evacuation and it was forced to be quickened. As expected, it became chaotic. As with many such similar military situations like Gallipoli in 1915, Dunkirk in 1940, and South Vietnam in 1975. Not any different. Instead of understanding this, the hacks are trying to make this political based along partisan BS.
She's poised and assertive. Impressive.
No, She is a typical Republican who's first question is flawed by it's premise. Her question asserts that the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan was the fault of the Biden Administration, completely ignoring (intentionally) that it was Trump and Pompeo that set the stage by being the first President in American History to SURRENDER to a foreign enemy when they signed an agreement with the Taliban , in Doha, Qatar in 2020, to leave. As part of that agreement Trump agreed to force the Afghan government to release over 5000 Taliban and ISIS fighters, the same terrorists that overran the country in two weeks and bombed the airport. This woman is a LYING hack, but what would you expect from a party that still spreads the big lie and tried to overthrow the election.
@J Barton ... Don't blame Trump... The Biden administration should have understood that and should be smart to handle the situation delicately.. but they did it to shame trump but fortunately failed in the attempt.. Trump made the decision based on the situation at that time.. if you are a business man you would understand ..
@@kimmeilim1970 No, Trump made the decision based on the fact it was a lost cause and everybody wanted to get out. However, like everything else like with his business career, he did it flawly like not including the Afghan gov't in the negotiations and the Doha agreement was not being honored from the start by the Taliban, continued to withdraw troops during the time he was in office more than half the time since Doha. And please...don't praise him like he's that successful. He's a facade who brags much more than anything else. He is definitely just about the worst executive mgr as one can find.
Great job Congresswoman Kim! I see a wonderful future for her! Thank you!
Blinken does everything not to answer the questions holding up his papers which she did not ask him about Kim wanted to know about her papers if he received them and what he was going to do to commit to help these people he did not commit to help these people on her list.
Biden Admin: Come on in through our southern border
Also Biden Admin: Afghan helpers and US citizens……we’ll get back to you.
“To put in place a system”.......Isn’t he a little late? Sounds like he unknowingly admits administration failure...oops...
Exactly, A system should have been in place.
They took off even a day earlier with their tails between their legs! How will this end for all the people left behind🤬😥
It is just typical political spin. He meets a stone with paper and does nothing.
Kind of hard to out in a system. When you are sitting in the Hampton’s. Asshole.
And how long would that take; putting in a system. How stupid do they think We The People are? Yes some support this stupidity and believe Biden who’s handling this as “business” and with charity $$, but this is a crisis, A CRISIS. Biden hates that word. We have all been in crises since he took office. It hasn’t been a year yet and it’s one crisis after another.
Thank you Miss Kim. You articulate the complete truth of what needed to be said!
Blinken is a bold faced liar.
'Bold?'
More Blinken BS. Bring back the lawfully elected administration that knows how to get things done
Trying to put together a system almost 3 weeks after they abandoned people. How long does it take to create a system that you are already supposed to be operating?
The "system" will be how to pay Ransom.
These are legitimate questions and the world is watching us.
THANK YOU SO MUCH REPRESENTIVE KIM! I APPRECIATE THE HARD WORK YOU AND YOUR STAFF ARE DOING IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA!
Good for her for standing her ground and calling him out!!!
How long does it take to avoid saying yes? Answer: 5 minutes
Frustrating! Tired of all the hearings. No one is ever held accountable.
This guy couldn't get a kindergartener out of a playground what a joke
Neither could you they wanted to stay.
@@leifseed Who the hell would believe a person would choose to stay in a place they would surely be killed in.
@@leifseed how can you even believe such information. Who would see what is happening in that country and refuse to leave ? Get your head out of the mud
@@leifseed bipolar much?
@@leifseed Lol.....sorry some people have no sense of humor or understanding of the word sarcasm I thought it was funny as hell . Guess they 3above don't know any birthing person's who birthed anything smart enough to make it to kindergarten..just guessing by the examples they set for themselves lol.
Our nation is in great peril.
Blinken: We don't have control.We're trying to put together a system.
Yes, blockhead, a system that should have been put together before we left!
Their trying to figure out how much money the tallyban needs to let these people go or if they need some more equipment
Exactly!!
That system should have been put forth and EXECUTED before leaving
Precisely! It SHOULD have been in place before they closed Baghram airbase!
And how is that supposed to be done when the Taliban unexpectedly took over the country so quickly? They can out of the bush in open offensive with the end of US and NATO military commitment. They captured Kabul a week after taking the major cities in the south. That means the US no longer had military leverage on the ground to control the situation during the evacuation and it was forced to be quickened. As expected, it became chaotic. As with many such similar military situations like Gallipoli in 1915, Dunkirk in 1940, and South Vietnam in 1975. Not any different.

They still haven't seen how pointless it is to talk with Blinken.
I bet they have. This is for the record if they can ever prosecute this administration.
He talked over Her, I feel like, more than he did the men.
Blinken has to go. I am sick of his double talk.
He won't do a damn thing
Strong statements. Clear and to the point on the administrations failures. Wish more were like her in command. She put Blinken on the spot with specifics. Blinken’s answer was no commitment. A list of papers. No promise to see it thru today. Just blah blah. She understood and so do we.
It’s hard to find comfort in weasel words from Sec of State who has failed miserably so fat.
Talk talk and more talk. Either mete out consequences for this screw up or shut up. So tired of this political theatre.
I feel infuriated listening to him answer her. She was amazing. I wish she had more time to hammer him on his answer
Rep. Young Kim, straightforward, and right to the point. Still could not get an answer.
Thank you Young Kim, outstanding!!!
The answer is NO! Not truly committed NO, NO, NO!!!!
Blinken said there are about 100 people there when he minimizes how many were abandoned then he wants to complain that he has 25,000 requests for travel. Which is it?
Where is Blinken's REPLACEMENT?
Very Good Rep. Young Kim !
A Strong Woman will always reveal a Weak man.
Beautifully illustrated and articulated
Let him have it Rep Kim! Blinken must Go Now!
I think it's funny that one of the ways you know someone is lying is when they can't stop "BLINKEN"
Their complications are becoming their excuses
Blinken is a putz
All these corrupt government idiot's involved in trying to take down 🇺🇸 need to be sent to AFGHANISTAN and let the TALIBAN slave them for life or death penalty. Rather one there choice.
TH-cam translated blinken to flashing. Lol
I don’t understand how high ranking officials are NEVER endited or criminally charged.
he has no idea….scary how in over his head he is!
90% of obiden's(Obama's) appointees are in over their heads
I love how Anthony Blinken made an adorable little appearance on Sesame Street to tell Grover about the plight of refugees when he himself has created enormous refugee crises. He’s so eager to get all defensive instead of make the commitment and work in a bipartisan fashion to get our fellow Americans and our allies out of danger. Now is not the time for him to sit there and try to protect himself it’s time for accountability although I in no way expect that to happen. This administration in its entirety is a failure and an embarrassment.
He literally held up a small stack of papers and wanted our sympathy for all the work he has to do? This man should not be sleeping or eating until he gets through each and every case! This is infuriating! I work harder at my job than this man does and I get paid under 70k!
Thank you Representative Kim, thank you Ma'am...
Didn’t you hear Sleazy Joe? It was an “extraordinary success” according to him. Good thing for him the mainstream media covers for his horrible failures on a daily basis.
It was a huge success for all our enemy. No accidents in politics
LMAO
Yeah, considering the fact that this was done in accordance with the flawed Doha agreement that Trump made with the Taliban to pull US forces out of Afghanistan by summer of 2021. Flawed because the negotiations were without the Afghan gov't. And even when the Taliban broke the agreement right off the bat, the Trump admin continued to pull out of forces.

Outstanding Rep Young Kim !!🇺🇲🇺🇲
Blinking never answers a direct question..Kim thank you for saying the sad facts..just know..he will never give you a straight answer meaning no..
You go girl!!🙏
Put in a system right he must resign he doesn't have a cue just like what going on the boader
Such a smart lady gets to the point keep doing a good job rep. Kim
I didn't realize he and his wife were murdered. Those poor babies...😥
Me either. If trump was in office this would be on the news 24/7.
A beautiful and intelligent lady Young Kim
Blinken is only committed to saving his own lying butt.
Dad: what do You mean? Insulting a man having a Degree of highest academic grade is absurd
Blinken needs to be held accountable
There’s no explanation for the failure !
Nobody in this administration can give a straight answer to a straight question.
Blinky: "We're begging the Taliban to free the people we failed to evacuate. Fingers crossed."
The incompetence is unforgivable!
She was right to the point and articulate and as usual he circled around the question without an answer just like his administration taught him to
This administration doesn't give 2 shits about the people
This should have been already planned out and done!! Nasty Blinken!
He didn't commit to her request, but addressed other needs.
He's grasping at straws. By holding up a clip of paper work does not secure or promises of true commitments. It's all talk and no action, and that's my belief🙄
3:30 International Cooperation
5:10 cooperation with the Taliban
The compounding barrage of lies is difficult to take. Narcissistic lunatics. Kudos to Rep Kim
I saw interview with American left behind and the state dept told her sorry we can’t do anything. How dare they say that!!
This will sound really shallow but Young Kim is really pretty! She seems to be the whole package brains and looks.
Totally agree!
I thought the same thing!
Conservative women always look best.
Nice to see other Republicans speaking out that we the people don't normally get to hear 👏
He needs to be there in.person..so we can see the lies and sweat running down his lying face..his list probably was for Jo's next nap time and lunch
ALL Blinkens FAULT !
Blinkin is creepy. He looks like he’s lying through his teeth.
Because he is lying.
For all the vets that have served and are serving. The American people salute you, we support you. To this administration and state department, I wouldn't let you clean up the dog shit in my yard.
Don't trust him, he's lying his lips are moving.
The whole government is lying
She was direct and articulate. When she asked her question he immediately started waffling and trying to pass the buck. He said he would help while at the same time saying it was someone else's responsibility, which translates to No, he won't do anything.
Yes seems to be the hardest word , shout out to elton john
I think that it was sorry ....but yes both work here
Excellent job Rep Young Kim.!! And all Blinken can say is Blah, Blah, Blah,!!!!!
