Summary

A 5-year-old sits at the heart of an international controversy involving Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, the U.S. State Department, and even Hunter Biden’s law firm. In what Glenn describes as maybe his “most important” episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast" yet, Stephanie and Joshua Mast detail the unbelievable story of rescuing an injured infant from the war in Afghanistan and their uphill battle to bring her safely to America during the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal under President Biden’s administration. Now, their 5-year-old daughter’s fate again hangs in the balance, and she is just days away from a Virginia court case that may change her life forever. The Mast family believes their daughter is the biological child of foreign fighters. If they’re correct, then her mere existence unravels the foundations of the peace agreement between the U.S. and Afghanistan, which stipulated that there were NO foreign fighters in Afghanistan. In a tangled web of motivations, Glenn is shocked by the possibility that the U.S. State Department may have placed a baby girl in the hands of people without any evidence of biological relations and with potential ties to the Taliban. The Masts make a public plea to the Trump administration to save their little girl from a custody battle with international implications but deeply personal ramifications for this little girl.          GLENN’S SPONSORS      Relief Factor        Relief Factor can help you live pain-free!

And now, a Blaze Media podcast.

Today I want to tell you a story of a five-year-old that is right dead center, the heart of an international controversy involving Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, the U.S. State Department, even Hunter Biden's law firm.

0:25.3

But everybody seems to forget she's a little five-year-old girl. She was actually recovered as an infant during a U.S. mission in Afghanistan.

0:32.7

Her mother was a suicide bomber. She survived even though mom was clutching her at the chest.

0:44.0

Military didn't know what to do with her. The Afghans that were on our side said, you got to kill her because she's just going to become another terrorist.

0:59.1

But a good Marine and several Marines and several people in the hospitals around the world,

1:09.5

remembered she was a child and she now lives in America with her adoptive parents

1:14.5

who are now fighting to keep custody of her.

1:19.5

They claim that their daughter is a child of foreign terrorists in Afghanistan, and without

1:25.5

the intervention of the U.S. Rangers who rescued her that night,

1:28.7

she wouldn't be alive today. Even if they would have given them to the soldiers from Afghanistan

1:35.3

that were on our side, she wouldn't be alive today. And if she were in Afghanistan today,

1:40.9

she would be under the rule of the Taliban.

1:47.0

How would that work out for a young girl?

1:53.9

The only problem is, is that if this little girl is who they claim she is,

2:03.9

then her mere existence unravels the foundations of a peace agreement between the U.S. and Afghanistan, which stipulated there were no foreign fighters in Afghanistan. But you see, this little girl proves once again the Taliban

2:11.9

lied. These are the shaky foundations that set the stage for our disastrous withdrawal, and, with the fall of Afghanistan in the background, two Americans fought against all odds to rescue their adopted daughter before she was crushed in the collapse of a nation.

2:33.3

Now, perhaps without you, her future hangs in the collapse of a nation. Now, perhaps without you,

2:36.0

her future hangs in the balance.

2:38.0

She needs help now.

2:46.0

I want you to spend time and really listen

to the American parents fighting for this little girl.
