Within days after the U.S. losing its longest-ever war, its new President stepped in, and in less than two weeks, evacuated thousands of Americans to safety — and over 100,000 Afghan refugees. In the face of knowing that ISIS — sworn enemy of both the Taliban and the Pentagon — was planning to disrupt the peaceful evacuation in Kabul, Biden and his team organized hundreds of flights, in and out of Kabul, to Germany, Italy, Spain and four Gulf States. He ordered United, Delta and four other American airlines to fork over 18 commercial jumbo jets to assist in the evacuation, immediately setting up refugee housing villages at Ft. Bliss in Texas, and bases in New Jersey, Wisconsin and Virginia. And he oversaw private negotiations with the Taliban to secure as best possible the safety of every single American and Afghan refugee. The result? Not one single American or Afghan, who helped America, has been killed by the Taliban. Not one plane shot down. And in spite of the ISIS-K suicide bombings, Biden has not flinched, not retreated, not backed down. He has forged ahead with his evacuation plan with the help of the Taliban. *The help of the Taliban!* Biden is a genius to have pulled this off.
Bernie campaigner Michael Moore, here on this episode of his RUMBLE podcast, dissects how Biden has saved tens of thousands of lives — and his reward is to be pilloried by the same pro-war press that got us into this mess and by an American public that has turned its back on him. “We deserve what we get,” says Mike in his blistering, spot-on defense of a President he didn’t want to vote for.

| 1:04.0 | That may seem like a very positive title for an episode on a day when such a tragedy occurred at the Kabul airport. |
| 1:16.0 | But the fact of the matter is, is that while there were those who created this terror, the mission continues. |
| 1:27.0 | The mission being led by Joe Biden continues. |
| 1:34.0 | And yes, he has already saved over 104,000 lives, and there are more to be saved in the final hours of this effort to evacuate people from Kabul. |
| 1:51.0 | And the eyes must be kept on that price while we remember and grieve the dead. They were willing to give their lives, referring especially to our Marines, and the one Navy medic. |
| 2:07.0 | They were willing to give their lives so that the 104,000 could live, and we'll never forget that. |
| 2:16.0 | But we have to talk about the importance of these last two weeks and how it happened, and who's responsible for the saving of all of these lives, and why nobody is standing up and saying that, I'm going to say it, and I'm going to say things that run counter to the narrative of the last two weeks. |
| 2:39.0 | And I hope you stick around here to listen to what I have to say, because I got a feeling there are thousands of you that agree with me. |
| 2:49.0 | And we must not be afraid to speak the truth, because it is a miracle. |
