TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): The tragedy today was not a complete surprise. There was intelligence suggesting it might happen. Just hours before the attack, the U.S. embassy in Kabul, which now operates from the airport, sent out the following alert. Quote, “Because of security threats outside the gates of Kabul airport, we are advising U.S. citizens to avoid traveling to the airport and to avoid airport gates at this time. U.S. citizens who are at the abbey gate, the east gate, or the north gate, now should leave immediately.”
Well, that turned out to be relevant intelligence. What did the Pentagon do with it? Well, not much apparently, they were too busy tweeting about equity. This morning, the sergeant major of the Army — a man called Michael Grinston — wrote this, quote: “Women's Equality Day reminds us we are smarter and more lethal when we come together as an inclusive, cohesive team.” OK, so some large — but as yet still unknown — number of American citizens are trapped in Afghanistan tonight, all of them facing potential death and here we have the senior NCO in the United States Army celebrating Women's Equity Day, whatever that is. Send in the pregnant fighter pilots. It's all so humiliating. Serious people are laughing at us, which is probably the point of doing it.
