US Army Vet Fighting ISIS Rips W.H.’s Jobs Idea: ‘There’s No Infrastructure for Jobs Here’

‘Where are you going to get jobs when people are trying to kill you all the time’

HANNITY: "Joining is now the U.S. Army veteran and a Christian who says the American government is not doing enough to defeat ISIS. He joined the forces of the Kurdish militia. He's fighting terrorist and he's on the ground on undisclosed location in Syria. Jordan Matson is with us. Jordan, I read two reports today. One was that ISIS is harvesting organs as reported to the UN by an Iraqi diplomat. And the second is he said ISIS documents showing the selling of Christian and Yazidi women. For example, if they are between the ages of one and nine that would be an equivalent of 160 U.S. dollars. If they are between ages of ten and twenty, that would be the equivalent of $126. Forty and fifty - $42.10. Have you heard these things? Have you seen these things yourself?"

MATSON: “Yes, sir. I wouldn't -- as for the organs, I believe that probably could happen, but for the prices -- it goes on what they think the girls are worth in term of beauty. I've heard of a $1,000 for a Yazidi girl by a Palestinian man that when I came into Syria."

HANNITY: "What else? And what about the actual harvesting organs, have you heard about that as well?"

MATSON: “I haven't heard of that yet, sir, but I don't get much news out where I'm in.

HANNITY: "Yeah. Tell us what's going on the ground there and here you have the State Department suggesting that maybe we need a jobs program. What do you think the reaction of the people that you are fighting every day would think of that -- hearing that?"

MATSON: “We don’t have the infrastructure for jobs out here.  Where you are get the jobs when everybody is trying to kill you all the time? (Laughter) We've ended our games in Kobani, but other than that it has been stagnant. We could use a lot more support on the ground over here especially in the Syrian side. As I said before, even Iraq has been tied up. U.S. forces are not even allowed to their job to the full extent in Iraq, so we get a lot of frustration with it."
