Secretary of State Anthony Blinken admits Americans will be stuck in Afghanistan past the August 31st deadline,

and Joe Biden smirks at reporters for asking basic questions.

I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

If you're not with Pure Talk USA, you're spending too much money on your cell phone bill. How do I know? Because if you're with Verizon or AT&T or T-Mobile, you are just paying too much. By switching over to Pure Talk USA, your family could be saving over $800 a year. And you have the same exact coverage as AT&T or Verizon or ITMobil because Pure Talk is on the exact same network as one of the big three, but at a fraction of the price.

Switching is as easy as switching out your SIM card.

You can keep your phone, keep your number,

or get huge discounts on the latest iPhones and Android's Plus.

Right now, you can get unlimited talk, text,

and six gigs of data for just $30 a month.

And if you go over on data, they're not going to charge you for it. There's a reason Pure Talk is the highest rated wireless company by Consumer Affairs, why they are the preferred wireless partner of AMAC. From your cell phone, dial Palin 250, say Ben Shapiro, save an additional 50% off your very first month of Pure Talk USA coverage. And you're paying all the overhead for these other big wireless companies. You're also paying for packages you don't really need. Instead, get the data that you need. And if you go over on the data, you're not actually going to have to pay for it. With Pure Talk USA, dial pound 250. Say Ben Shapiro gets started today and save an additional 50% off your very first month and hundreds of dollars down the road. That is Pure Talk, USA. Okay, so remember that time that Joe Biden said

there would be no Americans left behind? He actually said there'd be no Americans or Afghan allies

who would be left behind. Well, all of that was a lie. It continues to be a lie today. But now

we have a new line from the Biden administration. And the new line is, if of that was a lie. It continues to be a lie today. But now we have a new line from the

Biden administration. And the new line is, if you are still in Afghanistan after the U.S. military leaves,

and remember, we left basically with no preparation. We had to reinsert troops just to hold Kabul

airport. We gave a baghram so we didn't actually have more than one runway running at the same

time. We're not in control of any of the gates at the Kabul airport.

The new line from the Biden administration is, if, because we screwed up, you are stuck in Afghanistan,

it is your fault and it's on you.

This is the new line, right?

So long, suckers, you're on your own.

This is the new take from the Biden administration.
