In a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/glennbeck\/status\/1434670178973859850\">interview<\/a>, he pointed out that the Taliban and ISIS-K share the same leaders and personnel. Kennedy asserted, both pose equal danger to Americans and U.S. allies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be super-super clear, ISIS K and Taliban are the exact same organization,\u201d he explained. \u201c\u2026It\u2019s insulting to the lives of the service members who died that way. ISIS-K and Taliban sent in a bomber, they blew up the Abbey Gate, killed a bunch of (U.S.) Marines \u2014 that\u2019s what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This comes after Joe Biden left billions-of-dollars worth of U.S. military equipment to the Taliban. Kennedy pointed out it\u2019s incorrect to blame ISIS-K alone for recent killings of Americans in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn real intelligence ISIS-K and Taliban, they\u2019re different feathers from the same bird,\u201d he stated. \u201cIt\u2019s the same creature, it\u2019s the same animal, it\u2019s the radical wing of the same movement. And if you look at whose running ISIS-K, it\u2019s the exact same people that were leaders of the Taliban just a year or two ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Former UFC fighter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TimKennedyMMA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@TimKennedyMMA<\/a> was at the Kabul airport rescuing people when terrorists killed 13 of our service members. But while Biden blames ISIS-K, Tim tells me on the Glenn Beck Podcast what he saw: &#8220;ISIS-K and the Taliban are the EXACT SAME organization.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/iHdLrQNr6f\">pic.twitter.com\/iHdLrQNr6f<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Glenn Beck (@glennbeck) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/glennbeck\/status\/1434670178973859850?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 6, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Kennedy added, the Taliban is trying to avoid responsibility for terror activities by diverting attention to ISIS-K. He warned those terror groups can not be trusted.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/survivors-of-9-11-attacks-still-haunted-by-day-of-tragedy\/\">Survivors Of 9\/11 Attacks Still Haunted By Day Of Tragedy<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taliban soldiers stand by as Afghans shout slogans during an anti-Pakistan demonstration, near the Pakistan embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan, Tuesday, Sept. 7, 2021.
