To clarify!! This was filmed April 2024. At that time, we were the only foreigners/tourists to have done this. Many people have gone to Afghanistan & posted videos since. Our videos do not take 24 hours to edit. This is part of a 10 year series. Just because someone posts sooner doesn’t mean they filmed it sooner. That’s all for my RUclips production Ted talk 😅 Thank you so much for your support on this new series! See you in the next video when we stay overnight with the taliban in bin laden’s secret city.
You guys must have been nervous at times. There’s a lot of tension in the air at times. Glad you made it home safely. Much more prayers from me on your road to each country.
I'm not sure I've ever been more interested and entertained by a video. This was super eye opening to see how accepting everyone was at dinner and how at the most basic level we are all the same. Thank you guys for doing this and sharing with the world. ❤
As an Afghan, it was an honor for me to host the TFIL team in Afghanistan. I must say that the conditions during which I was interpreting were quite challenging, as this was the first team from the United States to have such a program with the Taliban. In this situation, translation was not easy, especially because the conversations were full of jokes-many of which are impossible to translate properly. Ginger, Elton, Jerry, and Martti are some of the coolest people on earth. However, the Taliban made some jokes that didn’t suit or make sense to other cultures, so I had to convey them with different meanings. During the dinner with the Taliban, I made more jokes and tried to change the topic, laughing to show them that we were not politicians. This helped make the Taliban feel comfortable, and I knew how to handle the situation. That was the toughest part of our journey. I hope everyone enjoys the TFIL videos, and I apologize if there were any misunderstandings along the way. As a tour guide, I’ve done many rare and unique things in Afghanistan for my guests. ❤❤❤
Don't get it twisted these mf are nasty if you've never seen the thousands of kids they have beheaded then you really don't see the true side of them this is a public stunt
As a veteran, I really was worried for all of you during this. However your questions and their answers, really enlightened me on the typical rumors about Afghanistan. And for that, I appreciate you ALL for putting what has been told to us all aside and gaining that first hand experience. I LOVE these videos!
Be worried all u want there's nothing u can do about it. Leave those people alone and take care of ur own country because clearly the western world has issues
@ I don’t have anything to say that’s bad about any country, unless I have a bad experience myself. All I was saying was that I’m appreciative of the insight TFIL is giving by these exploration videos and the people they meet. Nothing wrong with that.
Ginger is so radiant and kind. Elton is lucky to have her by his side. She’s such a big support. She’s a literal definition of beauty with brains. I love their relationship and their dedication to making the best content. They have such a big heart, Elton might seem cold sometimes because he has to carry everything and he cares about protecting everyone that he masks his feelings but he has a golden heart. Thanks for making people of Afghanistan feel loved and respected and showing the world the real picture and not what media potrays. You all deserve the world.
@@TFILAsalamualaikum sir I am new here I wanna ask you guys an advice for starting a youtube channel and how should i get more ideas that are modest and non harmful to others space Your wife must be loved by her parents as they gave her such an unusual and cute name in a good way and a good husband like u I hope u answer me I will wait for your reply Asalamualaikum
Thank you so much! Your kind words truly mean a lot to me. It’s a privilege to be able to share my country and experiences with people like you. I’m grateful for the support and hope to keep bringing more of Afghanistan’s beauty to the world. Stay tuned for more adventures! specially Tora Bora videos 😅 ❤❤❤❤
Elton, Ginger, Jerry and Martii, you guys accomplished something international leaders have not been able to do in over 20 years. Please take that in. That is historic. Thank you for the uncut and unedited version of this dinner.
The translator did an incredible job. Literally translated each and everything. Every time the taliban said something(jokingly) that the translator thought would offend the tourists, he kept telling them its just a joke. There’s nothing he didn’t translate or tried to mistranslate. Good job 👍🏼❤
But not translate all entire talk and he politely eaten some comments of that stupid taleb which he had eye on Gengir 😮 and it was so shameful. If Elton knows I am sure he’ll feel upset and should be
@ I don’t think you understand pashto. He translated each and everything. Even when Talib said if ginger was not married I would’ve married her, he translated that too.
@@ashnoori1006 I am a Pashto speaker, and I should clarify that the Talib has a great sense of humor. He talked and joked in a manner exactly how an open-minded person would do in his friend circle. The fact that he included Gengir in his jokes (what makes you call flirting and shameful), and that he didn't respect her as we do to women in our Pashton culture, is because her husband and the rest were also open to it and were not treating her as a Pashton girl (i.e. she was not made to set in a separate compartment for females in the hotel, she was not asked to stay away from the strangers, etc). Furthermore, I did not hear of any inappropriate words he used, if you heard him using any stupid or shameful words then surely point out that part of video. I would be glad to translate.
I am originally from Kandahar,Afghanistan .This made me so happy, thankyou so much Elton,Ginger and the entire team on making this video series.This is the land of hospitality, the land of the brave,this is Afghanistan!
it is cool to see the site that we never see in media. i honestly believe that not everything is as bad as media wants it to be. they are literally brainwashing us with that. but i am thankful for TFIL that they really show us both sites.
Ngl, I always knew the US was raining propaganda about Afganistan. Afganistan is The Graveyard of Empires, it has its own culture, history and spirit. I hope I can visit one day too in few years.
As an American, this really demystifies the way Americans see countries like Afghanistan. Thank you so much for going there and showing how different cultures are more alike than not alike. Hospitality, respect and appreciation is all anyone could ask for.
When I first started to watch this channel I never could have imagined that one day having dinner with the taliban would be its own video let alone part of a journey to every country
As a Muslim I do Not have to hold all beliefs that Taliban have and do Not. But I urge you do Not engage with ISIS (DASH), they are mentioned in Hadeeth as in some words Wood of the Hell Fire, they are evil and misguided. Very dangerous to engage with Any extreme group. At very least they may take you as a hostage. Mingle only with moderate Muslim unless you have proper safeguards, live cam is one but not full proof, and you must get Permision.
I was born in Afghanistan but never seen it, our parents left when I was a baby. These videos are teaching me a lot about my own country. And 4 of you are super fun to watch. I cant explain how much I love the videos you guys post
This is what it's about. People interacting and sharing experiences. He was exactly right, governments are the issue, not the people who suffer from decisions they make. Another amazing video guys!
A MESSAGE TO ELTON! Been anticipating this one! This Afghanistan series has been extremely eye opening and I just want to say thank you! Elton as a fan of you for your entire career thus far, this has been a phenomenal experience watching this videos. You truly are opening the eyes of the world and showing people the true beauty in every single inch of it. My goal once I start posting more real and lifestyle content, is to collab with you on one of these adventures! If that's ever a possibility for a very small channel like mine that literally only posts Stranger Things theories right now lol, you would truly make my dream come true. I ALMOST met you once actually, at the very last Warped Tour in Tinley Park, IL. I was gifted a ticket by one of my best childhood friends because she didn't want me to miss the very last one. I was struggling, no money at all, and she made sure I was there. We walked through the merch tents and all of a sudden I saw the Send It Society tent in the distance and like a little baby, I literally started crying because I had been a fan of you for years and completely forgot that you guys were on tour for Send It Society. I ran up to the line, got in, and then realized that everyone was waiting so they could buy something.I jumped in line just to try and meet you lol. I then realized that everyone was ready and prepared to actually be in that line and show support to you by purchasing a shirt or merch item. Then I remembered I literally had a single dollar bill in my pocket and was only there because my friend bought my ticket. I didn't have anything to my name, and nothing to show you guys support if I made it to the front of that line and was standing in front of you. All I had was myself, and the person I was back then, in my mind, that definitely wasn't going to be good enough. So I did the one thing I wish I never did, and still regret until this day. I stepped out of line, and walked away from the chance to meet one of my biggest inspirations I've ever had. So long story short, if you actually see this and read the novel lol, let me make amends with the mistake I made, and give me that opportunity to meet you, experience one of these life changing trips, and help me let the world know who YOU are. The world needs to know who's making it brighter! Much love TFIL! Love you guys! - Your boy Brandon, 31, DLA ALTERNATIVE PODCAST!
@@TFIL One day my friend mark my words. DLA stands for "Don't Live Alone" inspired by TFIL. We'll make the TFIL x DLA collab happen one day! Much love brotha for real and appreciate everything my friend!
Wow on so many levels, the fact that you were able to record it all and they trusted you to take that footage , how will you ever top these experiences
@@susana.9483 Yes. Because they are in a civil setting and not some secret agent. Why do you think they wouldn't? Or why would they lie? If I was the taliban I would think to myself these are tourists and know nothing about our nation better not scare them by telling them I'm a commander. It doesn't make sense to lie about it.
Damn, this series is emotional on all levels. What an experience! Gonna be hard to top that! Much love! Thank you for what you do. No disrespect to past TFIL crew but this group of people you have with you Elton are amazing indviduals! Wish Evan would of been able to experience this!
I am from Helmand Afghanistan, and this was so heart warming and fun for me to watch a group of amazing people enjoy my country, the culture, and religion in it!! I truly hope the best for all of you and keep up the amazing and great work!!
Great, freaking episode! Breaking the barriers of the bullshit fed to us and around the world. This has been such a fantastic journey to take with you all (in a sense) and I’m sooo freaking happy you did this! Much love to you all and to all of Afghanistan from Pennsylvania, USA ❤ Thank you! 🙏🏼
I don't know when was the last time I watched a 2 hour video without a break. Phenomenal video. This series has to win an award in the future because I don't know anyone who shows the real situation in countries this well.
such a beautiful and authentic video. you could tell both sides were a bit nervous, but what broke it down was simply kindness, mutual respect and humor. something we all need. and they are human beings in the end. this was such a eye opening experience for me, as a persian, i understood some words in pashto which was very interesting and all of them were considered kind words. such a plotwist to know their side of it and puts things a bit in perspective. i was laughing and smiling a lot specially toward the end omg. the ENERGY was crazy. i´m literally watching it again. elton, this is a masterpiece
This series will be a roller coaster. Ups and downs. Thank you for including us with this experience. I believe you wont know someone until you talk to them. This is great thank you!
I've been a fan for a long time.but every time, one of your videos come up saying you're in Afghanistan. I am Low key afraid to watch It. But every time I watch it, I'm proven wrong, and it ends up being one of the happiest videos. Love yall keep spreading the good vibes.
Elton, and everyone in TFIL.. I hope you know the beautiful impact you are having on our world with you openness, kindness respect for all people. Showing the world a different side. I am eager to watch the rest of this series
This is such an amazing series. I’m glad you guys decided to post this as it’s episode, to me it truly shows that “bad people” aren’t always bad. I’m excited to see and follow your journey to all countries
The fact I can share these videos with my children and they can learn about people and cultures that they will likely never see for themselves is really special. Thank you for being more reliable than mainstream media❤
I love how welcoming they were to you all. The respect Ginger had for the head covering, the respect they had to welcome her into the conversations. All the laughing... it genuinely seemed like you all enjoyed yourselves. And the food looks delicious too 🤤
This was wild I just try to imagine putting myself in these guys shoes its crazy to hear stories of war like this and to imagine what theyre life's have been like.. Appreciate youguys filming this and giving us a glimpse of what it's like... Love the TFIL crew!!!
We are born in war and constantly have to fig'ht fo're'ign i'nva'ders...even my generation is prepared. It is sad but we are realistic. The UX is supporting ter'rori's'm in our country again btw...look into the meetings with the N R F ter'rori's'ts and your ex-vets and Eric prince inciting ter'rori's'm on our soil because they can't accept loosing with honor. U are most welcome to visit us if u come with respect and good intentions without an agenda.
This is GREAT!❤ THE COMMANDER IS LIKE " WHATEVER GINGER WANTS, GINGER GETS." LOL This group has really set this channel up amazing. I love it ty Elton!!

@@AFG.A.PI'm tired of defending us to foreigners who have no business minding our business. They forget what they did in Afghanistan and the mess Afghanistan was in during their rule. Foreigners must cone with respect and mind their own countries business
9:39 teared up when I saw this. Been watching overnight for years & never imagined I’d ever see an explanation of our prayers ever being on this channel. So fitting especially with the genocide going on & the years of propaganda against muslims. This really solidified how genuinely kind Elton is for the research he put in & his openness to learning about our culture & beliefs. The comments under this video really make me feel hopeful that there are indeed so many kind but just misled people out there. Thank you for opening your hearts and minds. Love this channel even more now. ❤❤❤
There is no genocide going on and the only propaganda is muslims trying to make islam seem better than it is. As an ex-muslim woman i recognize islam as the enemy of humanity and women's rights. Hopefully one day islam will vanish from the face of the earth and Afgan and İranian women will be free again!
Why do Amerixans always feel so threatened when it is them who are a threat to the world and harming the world? As an Afghan, we know what your ter'rori's'ts did to us amd our ppl because we lived it
Keep it up Elton. I hope you know you are being suppressed by the algorithm for shinning a light on Afghanistan and the Taliban rule there. Regardless, keep being a beacon of reality, showing us the nuanced truth of this beautiful world.
I’m an Afghan/ American who came to the U.S. 39 years ago during the Russian occupation. I’ll try to translate the important question that was asked but unfortunately the interpreter couldn’t accurately translate that answer that was given. “While there’s political reasons why U.S./ NATO came to Afghanistan to capture or destroy OBL/Al-Qaeda but we know that the West had bigger plans to steal our rich resources (lithium, copper, and other valuable minerals) but they can’t easily do that unless they destroy our solid belief system which is Islam. Since Islam gives us a solid foundation, we can’t be slaves to the West, dollars and materials/ worldly possessions. The bigger plans were to come destroy our culture then implement western culture and convince people that their culture is better than ours so when you’re fully onboard with the western culture then you yourself will freely hand over all your riches/ resources/ minerals. He also gave the example of how Saudi was systematically somewhat colonized to give their oil to the West and how the West benefited from their oil and now slowly the western culture is being implemented in Saudi…”
@@Owsryudie if you want to understand the culture and afghans passive aggressive sarcastic nature then yes or else you might not understand them and be offended. However, if you just want to visit and do your thing and not have someone like a translator with you then you will be fine. Afghanistan is so diverse that you can blend in if you are a white, brown, asian, hispanic or any other race aside from black no one will recognize that you are a tourist.
The series has been so amazing and I’m so excited to have 8+ years of videos just like this!! These first ones have been so eye-opening and I’ve learned so much already about the world in just the first few episodes. Thank you for what you’re doing and for bringing us around the world with you!!❤❤
Thank you, Elton, and the rest of the TFIL team for sharing this unique and beautiful experience with us. Seeing how far you guys overcome is truly incredible, and I'm glad you got the chance to travel, make friends and have memories, and share this on social media for everyone to watch and enjoy. This has truly made my month so far remarkable in seeing how lovely Afghanistan is ❤ Thank you!
I have always been one to try and see both sides of the coin and knowing there are good within the bad. Yet when i was old enough to care and actually willing to do research, i could never find the actual perspective of Afghanistan that wasn't social media propaganda, cutting video to make them look bad and only the enemy. Thank you for not only respecting concerns but also bringing light to those concerns, setting aside all we have learned to take time to learn the other side, and, most importantly, sharing the side that was so well hidden all these years. The puzzle is finally coming together. Great Video as always, keep up the amazing work, Merry Christmas and stay safe out there team
I'm loving and enjoying this series so much! Those guys doesn't look and act as scary as the world think.....I was happy that Elton asked those questions to them, about the war and stuff, so that the people all around the world understand what is going or not going on in Afghanistan. Can't wait for the next episode.....you guys are doing a great job! Sending love and Christmas greetings from Belgium xxx
I have absolutely no words for this video. I’m SO HAPPY to have Ginger’s presence during this. To see her throughout the series of this county is moving, inspirational and frankly BAD ASS!!! Your bravery, humor, grace and poise are going to encourage others (especially women) to take steps outside of their comfort zones! Thanks for making these videos Elton, Ginger and Crew - y’all are helping to close the gap in so many ways!!! Looking forward to this, 5-8-10+ year series!
No strides are being made from this video lmao the taliban are putting on a performance. Afghan women have 0% of the rights they allowed ginger to have.
The Afghanistan part of this has been eye opening. You got to meet some great people and have helped us learn along the way! Can't wait to see more 😊😊😊
I never ever watched such a wonderful video on RUclips. I loved the jokes and respects towards each other. After watching this video, I made the decision to go to Afghanistan during summer break with my wife and kids. Thank you, guys, for sharing the reality through your videos.
I have a short attention span and this video was so good it was over before I knew it I don’t think I’ve ever watched a video this long without fast forwarding at any point can’t wait for other country’s and experiences like this thanks for a one in a life time opportunity with just a video good luck on future adventures
Absolutely incredible video! Elton, you could have been a journalist in another life- asking important and very thought provoking questions of Taliban commanders, and doing it in a way that avoided offending them (as evidenced by all the smiles, laughs, hugs and hijinks at the end of dinner). This might be the most impressive and amazing TFIL video yet!
This was amazing to watch. The whole series has been incredible, but this was something special. Major props to Munir for keeping up and translating. I know that couldn't have been easy with a whole group. I also appreciate how this whole interaction was mainly uncut. I was smiling and laughing so much. And to see the prayer. That was incredible to see something like that. That was a interesting experience. Gosh just a crazy video.
Did anybody elses heart drop when they were praying and the phone started ringing. I thought they were gonna be in trouble. Im happy this dinner went great for your guys, and this definitely taught me a lot
I'm a muslim and that happens sometimes. Its no big deal, you just turn it off and done. Plus they are in a public place its even more possible for a phone to go off. You need to let go of this mindset that Afgan people and Taliban are aggressive and unreasonable people. US propaganda has damaged enough lives, nations and cultures already.
I have loved this series so much. I have learned an incredible amount about this country. I have friends from the areas who are amazing. I have lost friends from the war as well. I really wished things didn't change after you all left. This is such a positive and wonderful experience. It kind of reminds me of that song "Christmas In The Trenches" where people from opposite sides, put aside the fact that they were on "opposing" teams and had a perfect night of peace, laughter, and kindness. If only this positivity could have continued into the new year there. Even with all the bad in this country (Afghanistan,) right now, I am going to continue to hope things get better, and one day, the country will open itself up to the world. It's so incredibly beautiful, and so much history to learn about, and the normal citizens in general seem amazing. May peace be with you all.
What b a d? B A d is your UX sanctions and theft of all our Afghan assets and the incitement of ter'rori's'm and support of the n r f ter'rori's'ts. Remember,that our T'a'lib'a'n are our own ordinary Afghans from all over Afghanistan, who the majority of us Afghans support. We are open to the world...just not on your terms. Learn to respect us and not to enforce your way on us...we showed u that we don't want it.
This series has been incredibly interesting and eye-opening. Props to Munir for navigating your interactions so peacefully and thoughtfully. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us!! ❤
And at the end of the day, I think we can all agree that boys will be boys haha I loved this so much !! What an amazing experience !! Of all the things Elton could achieve, I NEVER would have thought dinner with the Taliban would be one of them 😂 Also, Ginger is beautiful, and I just know it was her charm that made this happen !! 🤍
Can't wait to share this journey with you. I've loved every minute and will enjoy sharing with my grandkids, more information, and reality in every second love your journey
I have so much to say but it would be a whole book. So I will just say very interesting. Loved watching this expirence. Thank you so much for doing this for us and enriching both your and our lives.
I love how Elton was worried about the intent he shows behind his dedication to this new series - and they brought this gem to us first country ! I’m 23 min in and ENGULFED I can’t stop rewinding every couple seconds to really take it all in like I’m there myself . Thank you TFIL crew for this journey already ! And the way Elton is completely high alert with everyone’s movements/still listening to every word is impressive ! I’m sure he can handle most moving foward starting with such an intimidating place 🤟🏼 Merry Christmas 🎄 Ps the way dude was lk hitting on ginger the whole time and Elton had no problem side eyeing the taliban
Love these Afghanistan episodes. Thank you for showing real Afghanistan to the world. Another RUclipsr named Arab was there recently aswell really happy to see these vids I was there a couple months ago miss it already and wanna go back and visit wish I was there so I could invite you guys for some amazing Afghan food in Kabul .
Absolutely incredible! You guys are amazing, and this series has opened my eyes to what different countries are like. You guys need to get some sort of award for this series! Love you guys so much!❤
Alright I know I am 14 hours late and only 13 mins into this video but I absolutely love how respectful the 4 of you have been. I love how you are learning and experiencing a new culture and enjoying not just the area but the people. I have been watching both TFIL and Overnight for years now and I greatly appreciate that you are giving us the chance to join you on this journey and it’s only just the beginning. THANK YOU! I am excited to see more.
I am speechless after watching this episode ... I am such a fan of all yours channels but this series is just UNBELIEVABLE !!!! Elton, you are so thorough in your research, you really want to show ALL sides of the story that you take us on. I am in awww. Ginger, you are a Rock Star !!! Elton, you have a incredible wife and a fabulous team ! 🤩
This is so awesome for so many reasons I sadly don't have time to express!! The quality, Respectfulness orf culture, pure joy at experiencing new things make this just a few of many reason these have become some of my favorite content to watch. I can't wait to see what's next!!!
As an American , I think they are the bad guys. But from what I learn these videos, we Americans misunderstood them for so long. Thank you for teaching us more about this country and it's people.
I am Afghan and living France like 15 years And the last 3 months I visited my country Afghanistan and I was scared how Tlb they are and when I go there, man I never seen nice and humble people like that the media is propaganda
American media has lied to you all since 9/11 and painted afghans as monsters when they are literally the nicest people who have been invaded over and over again throughout history by all superpowers
Yeah maybe open your eyes for once and not assume based off what your family and friends teach you from their ignorance. It’s sad this vid is the only time you felt like another side of the world is “different” when the whole time they’re human too. America has its bad people the same way they do so really what’s your point?
I am absolutely loving this series. I absolutely loved seeing the different perspective of things from people in the other country instead of what we are force fed in the media. Granted, there were a couple of what I thought were...passive aggressive moments that were said as "a joke" but overall, I really enjoyed this. Can't wait to see what's next. I could tell Elton was having anxiety as he was pretty quiet lol
“Such a wonderful and unique video! It’s amazing to see people from different countries-coming together, sharing food, and having honest conversations. The translator did an excellent job capturing every word, and the Taliban commander was surprisingly kind and even funny! This is the kind of content the world needs to see-real connections and mutual respect. Thank you for sharing this moment of humanity and understanding!”
So much respect for this video and actually hearing the talibans own thoughts and feelings about life…you crushed it with this video..more please Uncle Elton..❤
hey elton, this is potentially the best series that exits and it's only the first country, you're doing an amazing job and i personally can't wait to see what's in store. i know there are many things you're focusing on and you're not the one editing the videos at the moment, but i think that a lot of people would like to have translated subtitles, showing what is said in foreign languages as y'all go throughout the world. i for one would love to hear what munir is saying to the taliban group, and i'm sure there will be many times moving forward that will be a necessity. i love the content, been here since the vine days💯
Thank you, so very much for this video!!! I, like many for most definitely different reasons have waited for a video JUST like this one. My family was glued to the t.v. Screen on 9/11_ scared to death. For my then, 6 year old son. I was pregnant. My husband and I searched for any answer. Our son grew up to become a U.S. Marine. This video has given me needed clarity. I have over the years researched on my own. Learned from different perspectives. Thank you, to your guests.. they were wonderful. Such wonderful work you’ve done here guys. I look forward to more. Stay safe. Have fun❤
I’m surprised Ginger was allowed to sit with all of them they seemed very enchanted with her which is natural she shines wherever she goes ❤Ginger is such a blessing for you Elton
@@Whodatt41with all due respect when asking, why do women have to cover their entire bodies + faces, can’t get an education, or speak in public? it doesn’t sound like a respectful environment, actually it sounds like hell to be honest
Wow Amazing, as an afghan I am so overwhelmed that you guys are being treated well here. Thank you for coming and showing the world that we are safe and peace lover people. Please convey positive message to your friends relatives whatever you got here back to your home. Explore other side of Afghanistan and enjoy.
Wow! You guys always make my day I can’t thank you enough! You guys are the best! Since day 1 I got you… more power and merry Christmas! I grew up watching you guys… stay blessed amen
I think this is your best ever. I totally have a different view and a better understanding of the Taliban. Changed my life for sure. Love you guys. Safe Travels and be blessed.
US army vet here. I didn’t go to Afghanistan, but went to Mosul, Iraq in 09. I love seeing all these videos from all the RUclipsrs going to Afghanistan.
iraqies are also our brothers and if you served knowgly that you were wrong then its the same thing. The taliban would have seen you the same way if you served in iraq or afghanistan.

To clarify!! This was filmed April 2024. At that time, we were the only foreigners/tourists to have done this. Many people have gone to Afghanistan & posted videos since. Our videos do not take 24 hours to edit. This is part of a 10 year series. Just because someone posts sooner doesn’t mean they filmed it sooner. That’s all for my RUclips production Ted talk 😅 Thank you so much for your support on this new series! See you in the next video when we stay overnight with the taliban in bin laden’s secret city.
@@TFIL you guys are awesome! I love the videos and how fun yet educational they are. I can’t wait to see the rest of the videos you guys have!!! ❤️
You guys must have been nervous at times. There’s a lot of tension in the air at times. Glad you made it home safely. Much more prayers from me on your road to each country.
How can I get the translation to work? I hate that I'm missing so much.
I'm not sure I've ever been more interested and entertained by a video. This was super eye opening to see how accepting everyone was at dinner and how at the most basic level we are all the same. Thank you guys for doing this and sharing with the world. ❤
It is what it is! Nobody can prove me wrong! 😅
As an Afghan, it was an honor for me to host the TFIL team in Afghanistan. I must say that the conditions during which I was interpreting were quite challenging, as this was the first team from the United States to have such a program with the Taliban.
In this situation, translation was not easy, especially because the conversations were full of jokes-many of which are impossible to translate properly. Ginger, Elton, Jerry, and Martti are some of the coolest people on earth. However, the Taliban made some jokes that didn’t suit or make sense to other cultures, so I had to convey them with different meanings.
During the dinner with the Taliban, I made more jokes and tried to change the topic, laughing to show them that we were not politicians. This helped make the Taliban feel comfortable, and I knew how to handle the situation.
That was the toughest part of our journey. I hope everyone enjoys the TFIL videos, and I apologize if there were any misunderstandings along the way.
As a tour guide, I’ve done many rare and unique things in Afghanistan for my guests.
❤❤❤
You did a great job translating! I hope you have more business come your way to expand your language boundaries 😄
You did amazing. Thank you for all of your knowledge. I wish the team could take you to every country with them!

Brotherrrrrrrrr 👍😑
I agree 💯
@@RashedAzizi-s7r lol
As an afghan its very rare I see such a good translator like this brother. He translated every single word with same emotions and gestures!
As a veteran, I really was worried for all of you during this. However your questions and their answers, really enlightened me on the typical rumors about Afghanistan. And for that, I appreciate you ALL for putting what has been told to us all aside and gaining that first hand experience. I LOVE these videos!
Be worried all u want there's nothing u can do about it. Leave those people alone and take care of ur own country because clearly the western world has issues
@ I don’t have anything to say that’s bad about any country, unless I have a bad experience myself. All I was saying was that I’m appreciative of the insight TFIL is giving by these exploration videos and the people they meet. Nothing wrong with that.
@@KD400_ Calm down
@@elenadehaan6549 tell that to ur husband
@@allsportsgirl2 ok fair enough at least u have that mindset
Ginger is so radiant and kind. Elton is lucky to have her by his side. She’s such a big support. She’s a literal definition of beauty with brains. I love their relationship and their dedication to making the best content. They have such a big heart, Elton might seem cold sometimes because he has to carry everything and he cares about protecting everyone that he masks his feelings but he has a golden heart.
Thanks for making people of Afghanistan feel loved and respected and showing the world the real picture and not what media potrays.
You all deserve the world.
Pretty accurate across the board
So do u agree with women's rights in Afghanistan
I wanted to say almost word for word this exact comment, very much well put

I hope u answer me
I will wait for your reply

Munir is the sweetest guy and weaves so perfectly between the two cultures without offending anyone. He carried this whole video, honestly!
im scared for him tbh
Why are you scared for him
@@spgp8don’t scare Taliban are not bad people. 🥴
I absolutely agree! He was very helpful and translated very carefully
Thank you so much! Your kind words truly mean a lot to me. It’s a privilege to be able to share my country and experiences with people like you. I’m grateful for the support and hope to keep bringing more of Afghanistan’s beauty to the world. Stay tuned for more adventures! specially Tora Bora videos 😅
❤❤❤❤
Elton, Ginger, Jerry and Martii, you guys accomplished something international leaders have not been able to do in over 20 years. Please take that in. That is historic. Thank you for the uncut and unedited version of this dinner.
This!
The translator did an incredible job. Literally translated each and everything. Every time the taliban said something(jokingly) that the translator thought would offend the tourists, he kept telling them its just a joke.
There’s nothing he didn’t translate or tried to mistranslate. Good job 👍🏼❤
But not translate all entire talk and he politely eaten some comments of that stupid taleb which he had eye on Gengir 😮 and it was so shameful. If Elton knows I am sure he’ll feel upset and should be
@ashnoori1006 bro are taking about your are confusing people
@ I don’t think you understand pashto. He translated each and everything. Even when Talib said if ginger was not married I would’ve married her, he translated that too.
جوکت مادرت میگند کم نفر کشتن
@@ashnoori1006 I am a Pashto speaker, and I should clarify that the Talib has a great sense of humor. He talked and joked in a manner exactly how an open-minded person would do in his friend circle. The fact that he included Gengir in his jokes (what makes you call flirting and shameful), and that he didn't respect her as we do to women in our Pashton culture, is because her husband and the rest were also open to it and were not treating her as a Pashton girl (i.e. she was not made to set in a separate compartment for females in the hotel, she was not asked to stay away from the strangers, etc). Furthermore, I did not hear of any inappropriate words he used, if you heard him using any stupid or shameful words then surely point out that part of video. I would be glad to translate.
I am originally from Kandahar,Afghanistan .This made me so happy, thankyou so much Elton,Ginger and the entire team on making this video series.This is the land of hospitality, the land of the brave,this is Afghanistan!
it is cool to see the site that we never see in media. i honestly believe that not everything is as bad as media wants it to be. they are literally brainwashing us with that. but i am thankful for TFIL that they really show us both sites.
The kandahar people are the reason why Afghanistan is as backwards as it is. And trust me it has nothing to do with Islam . Its the pashtun culture
Ngl, I always knew the US was raining propaganda about Afganistan. Afganistan is The Graveyard of Empires, it has its own culture, history and spirit. I hope I can visit one day too in few years.
As an American, this really demystifies the way Americans see countries like Afghanistan. Thank you so much for going there and showing how different cultures are more alike than not alike. Hospitality, respect and appreciation is all anyone could ask for.
Talk to a veteran. Its the wild west with drugs and alcohol causing the negative image. Pashtunwali is a good cultural basis.
@@bufalorick9841oh yeah, it’s totally our fault the women have absolutely NO basic human rights over there. Smh
When I first started to watch this channel I never could have imagined that one day having dinner with the taliban would be its own video let alone part of a journey to every country
Me neither ha
As a Muslim I do Not have to hold all beliefs that Taliban have and do Not. But I urge you do Not engage with ISIS (DASH), they are mentioned in Hadeeth as in some words Wood of the Hell Fire, they are evil and misguided. Very dangerous to engage with Any extreme group. At very least they may take you as a hostage. Mingle only with moderate Muslim unless you have proper safeguards, live cam is one but not full proof, and you must get Permision.
I was born in Afghanistan but never seen it, our parents left when I was a baby. These videos are teaching me a lot about my own country. And 4 of you are super fun to watch. I cant explain how much I love the videos you guys post

A MESSAGE TO ELTON!
Been anticipating this one! This Afghanistan series has been extremely eye opening and I just want to say thank you! Elton as a fan of you for your entire career thus far, this has been a phenomenal experience watching this videos. You truly are opening the eyes of the world and showing people the true beauty in every single inch of it. My goal once I start posting more real and lifestyle content, is to collab with you on one of these adventures! If that's ever a possibility for a very small channel like mine that literally only posts Stranger Things theories right now lol, you would truly make my dream come true. I ALMOST met you once actually, at the very last Warped Tour in Tinley Park, IL. I was gifted a ticket by one of my best childhood friends because she didn't want me to miss the very last one. I was struggling, no money at all, and she made sure I was there. We walked through the merch tents and all of a sudden I saw the Send It Society tent in the distance and like a little baby, I literally started crying because I had been a fan of you for years and completely forgot that you guys were on tour for Send It Society. I ran up to the line, got in, and then realized that everyone was waiting so they could buy something.I jumped in line just to try and meet you lol. I then realized that everyone was ready and prepared to actually be in that line and show support to you by purchasing a shirt or merch item. Then I remembered I literally had a single dollar bill in my pocket and was only there because my friend bought my ticket. I didn't have anything to my name, and nothing to show you guys support if I made it to the front of that line and was standing in front of you. All I had was myself, and the person I was back then, in my mind, that definitely wasn't going to be good enough. So I did the one thing I wish I never did, and still regret until this day. I stepped out of line, and walked away from the chance to meet one of my biggest inspirations I've ever had. So long story short, if you actually see this and read the novel lol, let me make amends with the mistake I made, and give me that opportunity to meet you, experience one of these life changing trips, and help me let the world know who YOU are. The world needs to know who's making it brighter!
Much love TFIL! Love you guys!

Keep doing what you're doing hopefully one day you'll get a collab
Wow on so many levels, the fact that you were able to record it all and they trusted you to take that footage , how will you ever top these experiences
exactly my thought!
Just wondering....do you really think that a commander in the TALIBAN would allow to be videoed and put on RUclips?
@@susana.9483 Yes. Because they are in a civil setting and not some secret agent. Why do you think they wouldn't? Or why would they lie? If I was the taliban I would think to myself these are tourists and know nothing about our nation better not scare them by telling them I'm a commander. It doesn't make sense to lie about it.
WOW, thank you for not editing this. The whole uncut video is such an eye-opening experience. Thank you Elton!
Damn, this series is emotional on all levels. What an experience! Gonna be hard to top that! Much love! Thank you for what you do. No disrespect to past TFIL crew but this group of people you have with you Elton are amazing indviduals! Wish Evan would of been able to experience this!
I am from Helmand Afghanistan, and this was so heart warming and fun for me to watch a group of amazing people enjoy my country, the culture, and religion in it!! I truly hope the best for all of you and keep up the amazing and great work!!
I can't believe I watched the video from start to the end for almost 2 hours. I really enjoyed the content. All the best and welcome to Afghanistan
Great, freaking episode! Breaking the barriers of the bullshit fed to us and around the world. This has been such a fantastic journey to take with you all (in a sense) and I’m sooo freaking happy you did this! Much love to you all and to all of Afghanistan from Pennsylvania, USA ❤ Thank you! 🙏🏼
I don't know when was the last time I watched a 2 hour video without a break. Phenomenal video. This series has to win an award in the future because I don't know anyone who shows the real situation in countries this well.
such a beautiful and authentic video. you could tell both sides were a bit nervous, but what broke it down was simply kindness, mutual respect and humor. something we all need. and they are human beings in the end. this was such a eye opening experience for me, as a persian, i understood some words in pashto which was very interesting and all of them were considered kind words. such a plotwist to know their side of it and puts things a bit in perspective. i was laughing and smiling a lot specially toward the end omg. the ENERGY was crazy. i´m literally watching it again. elton, this is a masterpiece
This series will be a roller coaster. Ups and downs. Thank you for including us with this experience. I believe you wont know someone until you talk to them. This is great thank you!
Your videos are far better than history classes in schools, Im loving it.
I've been a fan for a long time.but every time, one of your videos come up saying you're in Afghanistan. I am Low key afraid to watch It. But every time I watch it, I'm proven wrong, and it ends up being one of the happiest videos. Love yall keep spreading the good vibes.
Elton, and everyone in TFIL.. I hope you know the beautiful impact you are having on our world with you openness, kindness respect for all people. Showing the world a different side. I am eager to watch the rest of this series
THIS AFGHANISTAN SERIES IS INCREDIBLE!!!!! You're untouchable in the RUclips game Elton. Absolutely mind blowing.
This is such an amazing series. I’m glad you guys decided to post this as it’s episode, to me it truly shows that “bad people” aren’t always bad. I’m excited to see and follow your journey to all countries
We are jist defending our ppl and soil. Majority of us Afghans support our T-ali-ba-n who are our own ordinary Afghans from all over Afghanistan
munir is such a lovely tour guide and i hope he is keeping well
The fact I can share these videos with my children and they can learn about people and cultures that they will likely never see for themselves is really special. Thank you for being more reliable than mainstream media❤

Thank you once again elton! I totally feel like i am there with you and it means so much! This series so far is the best! Great job guys!
9:39 teared up when I saw this. Been watching overnight for years & never imagined I’d ever see an explanation of our prayers ever being on this channel. So fitting especially with the genocide going on & the years of propaganda against muslims. This really solidified how genuinely kind Elton is for the research he put in & his openness to learning about our culture & beliefs. The comments under this video really make me feel hopeful that there are indeed so many kind but just misled people out there. Thank you for opening your hearts and minds. Love this channel even more now. ❤❤❤
There is no genocide going on and the only propaganda is muslims trying to make islam seem better than it is. As an ex-muslim woman i recognize islam as the enemy of humanity and women's rights. Hopefully one day islam will vanish from the face of the earth and Afgan and İranian women will be free again!
Omg that completely changed my perspective. Thanks so much as always 😊😮
Thank you so much for sharing this and cancelling fear mongering news with this Elton
Why do Amerixans always feel so threatened when it is them who are a threat to the world and harming the world? As an Afghan, we know what your ter'rori's'ts did to us amd our ppl because we lived it
Keep it up Elton. I hope you know you are being suppressed by the algorithm for shinning a light on Afghanistan and the Taliban rule there.
Regardless, keep being a beacon of reality, showing us the nuanced truth of this beautiful world.
I’m an Afghan/ American who came to the U.S. 39 years ago during the Russian occupation. I’ll try to translate the important question that was asked but unfortunately the interpreter couldn’t accurately translate that answer that was given.
“While there’s political reasons why U.S./ NATO came to Afghanistan to capture or destroy OBL/Al-Qaeda but we know that the West had bigger plans to steal our rich resources (lithium, copper, and other valuable minerals) but they can’t easily do that unless they destroy our solid belief system which is Islam. Since Islam gives us a solid foundation, we can’t be slaves to the West, dollars and materials/ worldly possessions. The bigger plans were to come destroy our culture then implement western culture and convince people that their culture is better than ours so when you’re fully onboard with the western culture then you yourself will freely hand over all your riches/ resources/ minerals. He also gave the example of how Saudi was systematically somewhat colonized to give their oil to the West and how the West benefited from their oil and now slowly the western culture is being implemented in Saudi…”
I want to visit Afghanistan one day as well. Do I need a translator with me or someone from Afghanistan?
Exactly the point that was a bit mistranslated.
Thank you for translating that! I couldn’t make sense of the answer that was given in the video but translating live is very hard work so I get it
Watch Arab( youtuber) videos. He went to Afghanistan. contact those tour guides they will help you. @@Owsryudie
@@Owsryudie if you want to understand the culture and afghans passive aggressive sarcastic nature then yes or else you might not understand them and be offended. However, if you just want to visit and do your thing and not have someone like a translator with you then you will be fine. Afghanistan is so diverse that you can blend in if you are a white, brown, asian, hispanic or any other race aside from black no one will recognize that you are a tourist.
The series has been so amazing and I’m so excited to have 8+ years of videos just like this!! These first ones have been so eye-opening and I’ve learned so much already about the world in just the first few episodes. Thank you for what you’re doing and for bringing us around the world with you!!❤❤
Thank you, Elton, and the rest of the TFIL team for sharing this unique and beautiful experience with us. Seeing how far you guys overcome is truly incredible, and I'm glad you got the chance to travel, make friends and have memories, and share this on social media for everyone to watch and enjoy. This has truly made my month so far remarkable in seeing how lovely Afghanistan is ❤ Thank you!
I have always been one to try and see both sides of the coin and knowing there are good within the bad. Yet when i was old enough to care and actually willing to do research, i could never find the actual perspective of Afghanistan that wasn't social media propaganda, cutting video to make them look bad and only the enemy. Thank you for not only respecting concerns but also bringing light to those concerns, setting aside all we have learned to take time to learn the other side, and, most importantly, sharing the side that was so well hidden all these years. The puzzle is finally coming together.
Great Video as always, keep up the amazing work, Merry Christmas and stay safe out there team
Love from Afghanistan 🇦🇫❤️
I'm loving and enjoying this series so much! Those guys doesn't look and act as scary as the world think.....I was happy that Elton asked those questions to them, about the war and stuff, so that the people all around the world understand what is going or not going on in Afghanistan.
Can't wait for the next episode.....you guys are doing a great job!
Sending love and Christmas greetings from Belgium xxx
Happy marry Christmas 🎄🎁 brother, yeah things are different in Real Rather than western Media unfortunately.
I have absolutely no words for this video. I’m SO HAPPY to have Ginger’s presence during this. To see her throughout the series of this county is moving, inspirational and frankly BAD ASS!!! Your bravery, humor, grace and poise are going to encourage others (especially women) to take steps outside of their comfort zones! Thanks for making these videos Elton, Ginger and Crew - y’all are helping to close the gap in so many ways!!! Looking forward to this, 5-8-10+ year series!
No strides are being made from this video lmao the taliban are putting on a performance. Afghan women have 0% of the rights they allowed ginger to have.
The Afghanistan part of this has been eye opening. You got to meet some great people and have helped us learn along the way! Can't wait to see more 😊😊😊
I AM LOVING THIS SO MUCHHH THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR TAKING US AROUND THE WORLD ❤
I never ever watched such a wonderful video on RUclips. I loved the jokes and respects towards each other. After watching this video, I made the decision to go to Afghanistan during summer break with my wife and kids. Thank you, guys, for sharing the reality through your videos.
Just before Christmas as well ❤love the content this is a Christmas present for me ❤
I have a short attention span and this video was so good it was over before I knew it I don’t think I’ve ever watched a video this long without fast forwarding at any point can’t wait for other country’s and experiences like this thanks for a one in a life time opportunity with just a video good luck on future adventures
Absolutely incredible video! Elton, you could have been a journalist in another life- asking important and very thought provoking questions of Taliban commanders, and doing it in a way that avoided offending them (as evidenced by all the smiles, laughs, hugs and hijinks at the end of dinner). This might be the most impressive and amazing TFIL video yet!
That was beyond amazing! I'm happy for you guys but so shocked as well. Amazing content for sure!
We are also human you shouldn’t be shocked lol
I'm in LOVE with this series SM! Safe travels to you guys, and Merry Christmas! Love from Australia ❣️

This was amazing to watch. The whole series has been incredible, but this was something special. Major props to Munir for keeping up and translating. I know that couldn't have been easy with a whole group. I also appreciate how this whole interaction was mainly uncut. I was smiling and laughing so much. And to see the prayer. That was incredible to see something like that. That was a interesting experience. Gosh just a crazy video.
Did anybody elses heart drop when they were praying and the phone started ringing. I thought they were gonna be in trouble. Im happy this dinner went great for your guys, and this definitely taught me a lot
I was like silent your phone! 😊
I'm a muslim and that happens sometimes. Its no big deal, you just turn it off and done. Plus they are in a public place its even more possible for a phone to go off. You need to let go of this mindset that Afgan people and Taliban are aggressive and unreasonable people. US propaganda has damaged enough lives, nations and cultures already.
Relax 🤣🤣
We are not animals chill
I have loved this series so much. I have learned an incredible amount about this country. I have friends from the areas who are amazing. I have lost friends from the war as well. I really wished things didn't change after you all left. This is such a positive and wonderful experience. It kind of reminds me of that song "Christmas In The Trenches" where people from opposite sides, put aside the fact that they were on "opposing" teams and had a perfect night of peace, laughter, and kindness. If only this positivity could have continued into the new year there. Even with all the bad in this country (Afghanistan,) right now, I am going to continue to hope things get better, and one day, the country will open itself up to the world. It's so incredibly beautiful, and so much history to learn about, and the normal citizens in general seem amazing.
May peace be with you all.
What b a d? B A d is your UX sanctions and theft of all our Afghan assets and the incitement of ter'rori's'm and support of the n r f ter'rori's'ts. Remember,that our T'a'lib'a'n are our own ordinary Afghans from all over Afghanistan, who the majority of us Afghans support. We are open to the world...just not on your terms. Learn to respect us and not to enforce your way on us...we showed u that we don't want it.
Majority of us Afghans support our T-ali-ba-n...who are our own ordinary Afghans from all over Afghanistan. U seem to think otherwise.

what a beautiful eye opening video,
what has been miscommunicated through the media definitely doesn't show the culture and love that this country has
You people are the first having dinner with Taliban..😮
I can speak pashto and the Translator did a great great job..
Amazing video😊😊😊
This video was tense, eye opening and entertaining at the end with the hugs and dabbing up with you all. Loved it alot Elton and Crew
man found ya on haunted homies then watched some tfil trips all within the past week but this episode sold me!
Wow... The prayer was SO BEAUTIFUL...
And at the end of the day, I think we can all agree that boys will be boys haha I loved this so much !! What an amazing experience !! Of all the things Elton could achieve, I NEVER would have thought dinner with the Taliban would be one of them 😂 Also, Ginger is beautiful, and I just know it was her charm that made this happen !! 🤍
The wait is over 😅

This was an eye opener for sure. Really made me think differently.
Can't wait to share this journey with you. I've loved every minute and will enjoy sharing with my grandkids, more information, and reality in every second love your journey
I have so much to say but it would be a whole book. So I will just say very interesting. Loved watching this expirence. Thank you so much for doing this for us and enriching both your and our lives.

I’m 23 min in and ENGULFED I can’t stop rewinding every couple seconds to really take it all in like I’m there myself . Thank you TFIL crew for this journey already ! And the way Elton is completely high alert with everyone’s movements/still listening to every word is impressive !

Ps the way dude was lk hitting on ginger the whole time and Elton had no problem side eyeing the taliban
Love these Afghanistan episodes. Thank you for showing real Afghanistan to the world.

I am speechless after watching this episode ... I am such a fan of all yours channels but this series is just UNBELIEVABLE !!!! Elton, you are so thorough in your research, you really want to show ALL sides of the story that you take us on. I am in awww. Ginger, you are a Rock Star !!! Elton, you have a incredible wife and a fabulous team ! 🤩
When I heard the phone go off during prayer I would have thought that would have been the end 😂
I panicked 😅
Omg same 😂
@@Cassiemarea the Taliban’s face when he heard it was a warning 😂😂😂
That side eye man I was like oh shit 😬
It happens all the time no big deal.
This is so awesome for so many reasons I sadly don't have time to express!! The quality, Respectfulness orf culture, pure joy at experiencing new things make this just a few of many reason these have become some of my favorite content to watch. I can't wait to see what's next!!!
As an American , I think they are the bad guys. But from what I learn these videos, we Americans misunderstood them for so long. Thank you for teaching us more about this country and it's people.
I am Afghan and living France like 15 years And the last 3 months I visited my country Afghanistan and I was scared how Tlb they are and when I go there, man I never seen nice and humble people like that the media is propaganda
Not everyone in America believed the bullshit they taught
dont ever ever trust american politician & media, it is through them that the propaganda is carried out
American media has lied to you all since 9/11 and painted afghans as monsters when they are literally the nicest people who have been invaded over and over again throughout history by all superpowers
Yeah maybe open your eyes for once and not assume based off what your family and friends teach you from their ignorance. It’s sad this vid is the only time you felt like another side of the world is “different” when the whole time they’re human too. America has its bad people the same way they do so really what’s your point?
This video was insane!! Great decision to leave it mostly uncut ❤
I am absolutely loving this series. I absolutely loved seeing the different perspective of things from people in the other country instead of what we are force fed in the media. Granted, there were a couple of what I thought were...passive aggressive moments that were said as "a joke" but overall, I really enjoyed this. Can't wait to see what's next. I could tell Elton was having anxiety as he was pretty quiet lol
“Such a wonderful and unique video! It’s amazing to see people from different countries-coming together, sharing food, and having honest conversations. The translator did an excellent job capturing every word, and the Taliban commander was surprisingly kind and even funny! This is the kind of content the world needs to see-real connections and mutual respect. Thank you for sharing this moment of humanity and understanding!”
OMG, I can't believe. I've just watched my first longest RUclips video ever! Love you. Keep making such exciting and breath-taking vids.
OMG girl, that is too crazy, wow!
So much respect for this video and actually hearing the talibans own thoughts and feelings about life…you crushed it with this video..more please Uncle Elton..❤
That was absolutely amazing!!! My mind is blown! I was laughing so hard at Ginger starting a food eating contest 😂❤🎉
hey elton, this is potentially the best series that exits and it's only the first country, you're doing an amazing job and i personally can't wait to see what's in store. i know there are many things you're focusing on and you're not the one editing the videos at the moment, but i think that a lot of people would like to have translated subtitles, showing what is said in foreign languages as y'all go throughout the world. i for one would love to hear what munir is saying to the taliban group, and i'm sure there will be many times moving forward that will be a necessity. i love the content, been here since the vine days💯
Yes!!! Been so excited about this release!!! Merry Christmas Elton, Ginger, TFIL, and Overnight crew!!! Love ya'll ❤🎄❤️🎄❤️
Thank you, so very much for this video!!! I, like many for most definitely different reasons have waited for a video JUST like this one. My family was glued to the t.v. Screen on 9/11_ scared to death. For my then, 6 year old son. I was pregnant. My husband and I searched for any answer. Our son grew up to become a U.S. Marine.
This video has given me needed clarity. I have over the years researched on my own. Learned from different perspectives. Thank you, to your guests.. they were wonderful. Such wonderful work you’ve done here guys. I look forward to more. Stay safe. Have fun❤
I’m surprised Ginger was allowed to sit with all of them they seemed very enchanted with her which is natural she shines wherever she goes ❤Ginger is such a blessing for you Elton
If only they were that graceful with their women…
@@TheBulle they are stop believing everything you hear. We Muslims respect and treat our women the best
@@Whodatt41with all due respect when asking, why do women have to cover their entire bodies + faces, can’t get an education, or speak in public? it doesn’t sound like a respectful environment, actually it sounds like hell to be honest
Wow Amazing, as an afghan I am so overwhelmed that you guys are being treated well here. Thank you for coming and showing the world that we are safe and peace lover people. Please convey positive message to your friends relatives whatever you got here back to your home. Explore other side of Afghanistan and enjoy.
Wow! You guys always make my day I can’t thank you enough! You guys are the best! Since day 1 I got you… more power and merry Christmas! I grew up watching you guys… stay blessed amen
I think this is your best ever. I totally have a different view and a better understanding of the Taliban. Changed my life for sure. Love you guys. Safe Travels and be blessed.
lol they should’ve done the checkmark “get hit on by the Taliban” for Ginger. WOW 😂😂
Hilariousssss. Giving our editors permission to add jokes like this in the future hahaha
Elton and team, thank you so much for doing this.. you’re making this world a better place❤
US army vet here. I didn’t go to Afghanistan, but went to Mosul, Iraq in 09. I love seeing all these videos from all the RUclipsrs going to Afghanistan.
Why? U may not have k!lled us but u k!lled our ppl in Iraq😢.
@@phoenixrising8640 exactly 😢💔💔
iraqies are also our brothers and if you served knowgly that you were wrong then its the same thing. The taliban would have seen you the same way if you served in iraq or afghanistan.
A dinner with the Taliban episode on a Christmas Day is wild 😂 thank you elton for this series ❤❤
This brother recites so beautifully Mashallah
Wow, what a dinner it was with the Taliban. It was great to see you laugh and discuss together. They are very good with hospitality. Safe travels.
