So, if true Beck raised 30 millions to bring Afghans here?
“Glenn Beck had raised more than $22 million from donors and his radio audience to fund the mission to rescue Christians, Americans and Afghan allies from the Taliban-controlled nation.”

Nice of Glenn to spend 1/4 of his proceeds on the cause. That’s more than can be said for most “charities.” He’s covering travel expenses only at $750,000 X 6 planes.
Glenn has stated the the biggest obstacle to saving them has been the US State Department who has failed to negotiate with the Taliban.

A little background on this imposter:
“It is not acceptable to ask a moral, dignified man to cast his vote to help elect an immoral man who is absent decency or dignity,” Mr. Beck wrote on Facebook. “If the consequence of standing against Trump and for principles is indeed the election of Hillary Clinton, so be it. At least it is a moral, ethical choice.”
Terrorists being terrorists...
Funny how a foreign agency has more news than ours. In fact, THIS IS THE ARTICLE that should be published not the rehash old news that is posted here.
Please post this article if you have a minute.
The article states that there are only a hand full of Americans.
It also states this:
Eric Montalvo, a former US Marine Corps officer and a lawyer working with groups that chartered two of the six planes, was more blunt.
“The Taliban is not holding these planes hostage,” he said in a statement to AFP.
“The problem is the US government. All the State Department has to do is make a phone call and these people will be able to leave immediately.”
So does NPR. Article posted yesterday evening:
Their source says at least 19 American citizens and a couple of green card holders.
Another tidbit is they apparently are not waiting onboard the planes but have lodging in the city where the airport is located.
Why doesn’t Beck just send a planeload of soccer balls and teddy bears to Afghanistan?
I’m still waiting for Beck to apologize for calling Trump voters “Nazis” and “brownshirts”.
Also, Glenn just gave an update, his audience raised $35 milion
NO, you really should listen to Beck to get the FACTS. He raised money to bring CHRISTIANS of every nationality to OTHER COUNTRIES, NOT HERE TO THE US. He thought that the US government would actually take care of the Americans. He says there's no one on the planes in question, the State Dept refuses to give them clearance to fly the Americans out.
Good for them.
Now, will it actually be used to rescue people trapped in Afghanistan or will Glenn spend it on Cheetos?......................
Just regurgitating what’s in this post and links.
I don’t have time to listen
A Jeezera says only 19 Americans and several Afghans their demonination unknown
God Bless you Mr. Back.
And a curse be on all Taliban.
Wow. Just. WOW.
““The problem is the US government. All the State Department has to do is make a phone call and these people will be able to leave immediately.”
El Presidente Obama is not going to allow that.
Losing a war. Make it more akin to only a democrat can make the engine of the USA skip. Hopefully
Tell Freeperdom of your efforts to rescue Americans in Afghanistan.
I gave Glenn credit for spending 1/4 of what he raised to “rescue Christians
in Afghanistan,” to cover their travel expenses.
Sure, that’s more than you or I have done.
With the other $17 million of other people’s money hopefully he’ll buy some safe passage, I’d consider that travel expenses, wouldn’t you?
You know Bill Clinton did more than you or I for HIV sufferers in Africa, too.
Guess nobody who didn’t help HIV ppl in Africa should point out what he did there either, eh.
