0:00 [Music] check this out Joshua Bo all right and his wife stupid Caitlyn Coleman were kidnapped and held by the hakani network whose leader is the Deputy head of the Afghan Taliban okay for 5 years and one day are these people 5 years dude it's a Canadian man who was rescued from ital band linked group in Afghanistan last week said he thought his captur were joking when they told him Donald Trump had been elected president of the United States that's pretty funny actually that's that's hilarious Bole and Coleman were rarely given any information on the outside world during their time in captivity they didn't even know Justin Trudeau was

0:50 prime minister of Canada for example until after they were rescued but when Bo was forced to participate in a proof of Life video one of the captors told him Donald Trump had been elected president they could speak English they must have been able to speak some version of English Donald Trump president he are you sure they had translator probably at the time Bo essentially took the comment as a joke it didn't enter my mind that he was being serious Bo and Coleman were kidnapped while hiking in Afghanistan late 2012 Coleman was pregnant at that time why are you hiking in Afghanistan the war zone why the ████ would you be doing that Canadians you know white white what yeah white white only they were half dude it's cuz Canadians probably didn't believe in the Lord these are the people they were like well we're Canadian they'll let us go maybe that's what they thought cuz I think

1:40 everyone that's like Hey we're not American they think they're like immune oh yeah so they didn't think like North American dude what if the hiking in Afghanistan is sick though like they got waterfalls everywhere you know I mean like like it's a beautiful place or what you just got a national park pass or what if people kept telling that it was sick but those guys were all lying it was like a big old joke think my image of Afghanistan and the Hill Country there really changed after hearing so many people's like experiences of the tribes here they're like it's just such a different culture that you never we've never experienced anyone that's been through no education like zero yeah bro how do you even get like a flight to Afghanistan I don't I don't know man

2:32 people try really hard to put themselves in really risky situations they're just like what are you doing yeah it's like you got you got a whole nation of people that are born into something unfortunate you want to go there youever been a Yellowstone just start with Yellowstone first get your feet wet over there monre Bay Aquarium it's one of the greatest aquariums in the world that's so annoying to know like they just went there to hike well it just feels elitist too it also feels like you're so much better like you're not you're not like making yourself look relatable to them like you look like you're literally like a alien bro they're wearing LL Bean and ████ with their ████ camel packs and ████ Dum like work on your community bro like we need help out here trying to go hiking in Afghanistan shut up yeah dude

3:22 remind what the views are Immaculate though man they did it for the view vi just bombs and bullet they're vloggers they could see the bullet we're going to live in our van in Afghanistan don't understand how let's you got kidnapped for 5 years and you think that something this dude said was a joke like it looks pretty serious till this point they have a sense of humor all of a sudden there know to be jokes how many other jokes did he have I know you you want to hear something wild so Colman been playful the whole time uh was pregnant at the time she was pregnant and going hiking in Afghanistan wow and the couple ended up having two more children while in captivity was so that means there was ████ when they say captivity right like we probably imagined Taliban torturing and making like being horrible to them they could just be a house

4:12 arrest could just be like a political asset yeah all five were rescued by Pakistani forces working off intelligence gathered by the USA a me a number of the kidnappers were killed during the rescue operation but some Got Away Bo has a harsh view of his capts calling the County people who have no relationships in life that are not purely Merc AR they have no real friends only cohorts they have no wives or children those we met who were not orphans spoke of hating their parents so I mean either the translator was really good dude they were talking to him or if these people are dumb enough to hike in Afghanistan during like Times Like These or even 5 years ago they're dumb enough to say they are dumb enough to say it wasn't really that bad yeah they don't want to be racist they just misunderstood you guys remember that couple that went to bike in Isis territory to prove

5:03 that they're good people and they got smoked like really really badly yeah so you got to prove a point that bad huh badly I think it's just a flex of their own views it has nothing to do with helping anybody in that climate it's like I said that it was fine and I'm going it's like that vegan lady that climbed Everest and died just because hell people die on Everest yeah exactly but then for her to be like I'm going to do this for veganism it's like you could that's what you're going to do work out for you it's fine you could just live a you could just live a nice life too and people could still you know be encouraged by that like start a really positive social media account about it probably impact more people exactly just Community man that's that's the thing I I always had this belief I could be wrong I could be insanely wrong in the future but I think if you're not touching people within your reach you have no business traveling the world and trying to like

5:54 AG stay in your lane yeah like if the people in your community don't listen to you they don't care to share your views then I don't think that means it's time to go to Afghanistan especially asn't a ████ American or a white lady you know or white people like you can't be doing that 100% it's just dangerous well they're like wait wait wait but we're Canadian though and then they thought the Taliban was going to be like Canadian okay drink some tea you know like come on bro that's so funny get the ████ out of there I just want to know how they came to the conclusion of like all right we're going to book our trips we're going to go on Afghanistan we're going to go hiking Expedition did you pack your hiking boots honey yeah well during war time they're probably saying these guys are bad these guys are bad these guys are Terror and they're probably the ones going like these guys are bad let's show the government and these guys the news good people you go to Manchester

6:46 United the second there's a hooligan War you're going to get whooped it's just common sense like don't go where it's hot My Buddy goes to these places but the way that he does it is he pays that group cuz they know that he's coming so he's he's he's has photos with Taliban and all that stuff and he says when he was um he has his like liaz on there who's already connected with the government all this stuff but they still have their own secret police so they asked to see his phone they saw his phone and they almost vomited like because they found him having all these pictures with women and they were like oh oh my god oh so much sex I can't believe I saw something so UNH Halal right the same secret police

7:37 guys that almost puked when they saw that when they became friends showed him torture victims of their ████ and they were excited to show it to him like nothing he has one of those passports that are from the non-extradition countries so they're all homies so he could travel into North Korea all these places and man it it's a completely different world cuz I don't know as an American how I can go into those places I got no business I have nothing to offer these people yeah I'm okay I'm good but you don't get curious cuz like not that bad to go over there curious about what's at the back of Home Depot then what's over there I'll watch a documentary from home I would do that I'm classic American when it comes to traveling I'm scared of every other country as we should be America is a government be ████ around too much ████ in too many places if we're getting

8:27 like a Britney grinder a token for trade you know what I mean in order to get like a some sort of like a weapon dealer yeah weapons and arms dealer then it's like yo I'm I'm not even nothing compared to a Britney grinder yeah it's like we shouldn't be messing around can you imagine if you got kidnapped in another country and then they were trying to figure out if they should uh trade for you and they look up JK news see all the ████ you said like we don't want this guy to come back look at him criticize our government keep him over there they trade Britney grer for you oh man that was Su but could but you know what next shark would start saying some ████ and you know their fans would probably help me come back no dude next's going to like ████ put a whole list of all your comments yeah inst yeah all the
