Well, we've explained it as a Taliban Elaine Gonzalez situation.
Yeah, these are not relatives. They probably knew they weren't from day one. They were probably sent forward by the Taliban shadow governor to collect her from the Americans. And so they can't go back without her. Like this guy's told me personally, like, yeah, we want to go back. Like everyone wants to come to America for the money, but everybody loves home. I don't judge people for that.
But this is really the Taliban is going to decide her future. Like this guy, his entire family is under their sway. If he says, if they're like, hey, I'm going to kill your family if you don't come back with a little girl. They put us, the Taliban denounced us on their social media. They've called you out by name. Yeah. We've had the state. They called you guys out by name. Yes.
Yeah, on their website, little talking head saying, you should make a T-shirt. Absolutely. My buddies were like, how'd you do that? I've been trying to get that for years. It was kind of a joke. But but what's more concerning is the State Department has filed affidavits against our family, basically insinuating the Taliban has asked them to do this.
Like the Taliban doesn't like this and it's hard to negotiate with them. Like, I'm really sorry that my child is inconvenient for you negotiating with the terrorist organization that you're funding. But like, I don't care. Like, get out of here. What U.S. agency files to void someone's parental rights because the Taliban asked them to?
And then I get the whole like, oh, well, we're asking you not to talk about this. Right. Sure. I'm not going to talk about this. Like the American people should read some of these affidavits.
Her brothers are her brothers.
And I want to add one thing. In this process, these mega firms don't care who gets hurt, right? It's winning at all costs. And they have gotten a letter writing campaign going, not just to make a firm, some other related organizations that support that type of thing, but they wrote over 7,000 letters to Congress.
And in this, they're talking about supporting their narrative, holding major mass accountable, and it's insinuating that our Rangers who like bled, doing what we tasked them to do to go rid the world of these terrorists. They're calling them war criminals and they killed an innocent farmer. And honestly, that just burns, you can say many things.
Right. Not, no, these, these, these Rangers came and testified in open, like in a public proceeding. Right. It was, it was sealed from as far as like, it's a public record now. So it's a matter of record. And then that was all placed into our board of inquiry. And so that is a public record available for FOIA and privacy act. So like now you can go read their 200 page testimony before.
That was hidden, so you couldn't defend. Correct. And so what we want is, we think these guys, they're under nondisclosure agreements because of the unit they're serving in. So when you can't, when your guys can't defend their own actions, who should do that? Well, I think it should be the SECDAF. I think they should come out and release everything.
If these folks want to attack our veterans and say that they committed war crimes, and we have video of them engaging in hand-to-hand combat and grenades and shooting people at point-blank range and having guys wounded and pulled off on stretchers off the objective, paralyzed, release that stuff and defend these men. They should be at the White House getting awards, not getting called...
war criminals by lesser men than themselves.
We have hope. There's a lot of folks, when they actually hear the truth, that have jumped on and tried to get it to decision makers. We're hoping that her life again is prioritized by the administration. They did it the first time. And honestly, the only reason she didn't come back.
It really is. And what it's become is bureaucrats will say whatever the law, they'll say that the law is whatever they want it to be for that particular instance to get whatever outcome they want. And it doesn't matter if it's true or just or right. And, you know, and that's really hard for someone who like, I really mean it when I swear an oath to uphold the constitution of the United States.
As a prosecutor, I would not even dream of prosecuting someone that wasn't, I didn't believe violated the law. And then you would try to pursue an appropriate punishment for that. Like I, I was a government hack. And seeing that system weaponized and abused the way we've gotten to do that firsthand, it's been incredible.
But on the flip side, it's so encouraging to see progress in those departments. And I think the louder people squeal in resistance to that progress, you're probably on target.
Yeah, and there's a lot of fallacies with that. First of all, they're not her Afghan family, and they never were, and they probably knew that from day one. Like, that's the unfortunate reality, and I don't know what their why is, but... It's just not true. So what do you want me to do with that?
When this guy flags on the watch list and we're legally obligated to take care of our child and told him that from day one, what do you want me to do? What would you do? If you're like, oh, this guy flagged after all of that concept context, you would immediately exercise what care for her, which is what we did. And that was the plan the entire time.
In fact, what I think was most telling was every single person who had firsthand knowledge of this,
