Hugh Hewitt called on ABC News to release the full and unedited video of the interview with President Joe Biden where he discussed with George Stephanopoulos the ongoing crisis in Afghanistan:
Release all of the interview, unedited. The American people deserve to see it all. So do our allies. https://t.co/9f7txN8svM

Stephanopoulos replied, saying the entire transcript would be posted this morning:

But Hewitt says that’s not good enough: “we need to see and hear the @POTUS, for in seeing and hearing we will be able to judge his capacity for what’s ahead which is difficult”:
Thank you but we need the entire, unedited tape. @ABC will have an enormous audience across not just the nation and indeed the whole globe. But we need to see and hear the @POTUS, for in seeing and hearing we will be able to judge his capacity for what’s ahead which is difficult. https://t.co/FpqniKKWuM

And we need the video NOW:
Thank you again @GStephanopoulos for responding, but we need entire unedited tape in real time —the nation and allies— quickly. As I first responded, it will be watched so people can judge across country/globe can judge/assess @POTUS. Adding: Time is of essence for everyone.

Hewitt continued, “We have lost a 20 year war. Americans by the thousands are in danger. We have to decide what to do. The response must be across the government and in elections such as CA’s and VA’s which are nearing conclusion. The job of the media is to provide as much information as possible”:

Now, release the tape:
So again, thank you, but please urge @ABC to broadcast the entire tape. It is a matter of urgent timing given the choices that will be made in next hours, days and weeks. Again, appreciate the response. I look forward to watching it. All of it.
