1 00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:03,160 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 2: So we're coming into twenty twenty five with all of 3 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,879 Speaker 2: this horrible information about what happened on New Year's Eve 4 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 2: in New Orleans, and we're looking at how extensive could 5 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 2: this have been. This is now considered a terrorist attack. 6 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,919 Speaker 2: At the beginning, it was questionable. There's a situation out 7 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 2: in Las Vegas as well. We're I think as the 8 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 2: American people were all kind of wondering what is going on. 9 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 2: We had all of these people come to us and say, 10 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 2: you got to talk to this woman. She's incredible, She 11 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 2: knows everything, she's super intelligent, and it just happens to 12 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 2: be that she is an intelligence expert. She's a former 13 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 2: CIA targeting officer who was assigned to global terrorist threats 14 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 2: that were aimed at the US and she was part 15 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 2: of formulating those plans to reduce and avoid those risks altogether. 16 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 2: And so I'm so happy to say that Sarah Adams 17 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 2: is joining me today. Sarah, welcome to the podcast. Thanks 18 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 2: thanks for having me absolutely. So I was talking to 19 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 2: you a little little bit before we started recording about 20 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 2: New Orleans, and you're telling me all this information that 21 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 2: I think is information is coming out fast and furious. 22 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 2: But if you're not in the intelligence world, you may 23 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 2: not know it or I don't even know how to 24 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 2: interpret it. 25 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: And that's why I have you here. 26 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 2: So if you can just kind of go through what 27 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 2: happened that day and what we've learned since. 28 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the basics were right. Several hours after 29 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 3: this New Year's celebration, a terrorist came through the crowd 30 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 3: with a truck. As we've heard now, the barricades to 31 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 3: stop the trucks, you know, weren't up. He came through 32 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 3: with a truck. He ended up getting in a firefight, 33 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 3: and then he actually had also planned some sort of 34 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 3: improvised explosive devices that never went off. I think people 35 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 3: got really frustrated because in the first FBI press conference 36 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 3: they said this wasn't a terrorist attack when it had 37 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 3: all the modus operandi of a terrorist attack. And the 38 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 3: other really interesting part too, is you know that this 39 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 3: attacker had an ISIS flag truck that was covered up. 40 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 3: FBI to had pictures of it on the scene, but 41 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 3: actually didn't even bring that up in the first press conference. 42 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 3: So I think the lack of communication, at least with 43 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 3: initial details is kind of what has made a lot 44 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 3: of people very confused, a lot of conspiracy theories going around, 45 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 3: and you don't have to talk about active investigations. I 46 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 3: get that, But when there's visual things that the public 47 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 3: are seeing, and they saw an ISIS flag and you 48 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 3: can't really cover that up obviously. 49 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 2: Well, and I think that it's important for the public 50 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 2: to know if it is listed as terror right away 51 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 2: because then everybody is a little bit more cautious. 52 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: There was a Bowl game that was supposed to occur that. 53 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 2: Day when they found out that this happened, and people 54 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 2: were questioning whether they should go or not. Obviously that 55 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 2: was delayed. But in that moment, as the American people, 56 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 2: we feel like, gosh, we should have this information. And 57 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 2: I think there is a lack of trust in government 58 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 2: right now. We aren't sure after the Afghanistan withdrawal, the 59 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 2: American people don't know whether or not we should trust 60 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 2: the US go to be prepared. And that's just a 61 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 2: scary reality. And we have not seen terror attacks on our. 62 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: Land in many, many years. 63 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 2: So seeing this and then seeing this was a former officer, 64 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 2: I mean, this is one of our veterans. 65 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: How does this happen? 66 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 2: And that is actually a serious question because I think 67 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 2: from our perspective, we're going, well, wait a minute, we 68 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 2: are Are we not keeping in touch with any of 69 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 2: our veterans? Do we not know that someone has been radicalized? 70 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 2: I mean, is there not some and not that you 71 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 2: should be followed the rest of your life, But is 72 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 2: there no one checking in to say these people were 73 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 2: in some of the worst situations, analyzing some of the 74 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 2: worst data, access to some of that potential ability to 75 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 2: get radicalized and suffering from PTSD? 76 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: Is this a recipe for disasters? Should this be monitored? 77 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 3: Yeah? I think a big piece of it. You talk 78 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 3: about PTSD, but a lot of people also forget the 79 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 3: moral injury piece. Right, So it really first happened with 80 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 3: the Iraq War. You know, we sent our forces in there. 81 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 3: People argue should we have right because of how intelligence 82 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 3: was manipulated a bit, but you know they did a 83 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 3: good job. You know, they dealt with the terrorism problem. 84 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 3: And then years later we basically let ices come and 85 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 3: take over. Right. That caused a lot of harm to 86 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 3: our service members who lost limbs and lost friends in 87 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 3: the war. Then Afghanistan comes around and the Kurds are 88 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 3: even in the middle of this, right, we abandoned them. 89 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 3: We Afghanistan comes around, we blatantly leave our allies at 90 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 3: the airport and take off the last plane. Right, there 91 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 3: are Americans standing there. So the amount of suicides alone 92 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 3: have been catastrophic, right, just since the fall of Afghanistan. 93 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 3: So it's there's so many different levels of checking on 94 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 3: our people, right, Like, how did that impact you? How 95 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 3: is the twenty year war impacted you? A lot of 96 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 3: veterans are getting really frustrated seeing all these terrrists come 97 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 3: over the border in the last four years. We're like, 98 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 3: why did I go over Toseas when you're just going 99 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 3: to come and let them all in anyway, Now it's 100 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 3: going to affect to generate of my children, right, we 101 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 3: all do this to protect the next generation, and we're 102 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 3: watching it all diminish, right. And then, like you said, 103 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 3: is there really help needed for veterans? You know, when 104 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 3: a lot of them lose the mission, right, it's really 105 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 3: hard to get back on your feet, because it's really 106 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 3: important for some people to have a mission. If you 107 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 3: get into some sort of financial ruin, you might not 108 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 3: have help. And then of course we've had major issues 109 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 3: with VA not taking care of people. And then the 110 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 3: massive amount of cancers that have happened across you know, 111 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 3: this generation of people, and they're not even getting funding 112 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 3: a lot of them, and to get denials to take 113 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 3: care of the cancers they got while serving overseas and 114 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 3: war zones on behalf of our government. 115 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we are. 116 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 2: So we watched this and I mean this guy, this 117 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 2: guy from New Orleans. He's particularly interesting because he served 118 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 2: for what at twelve years. His family said that he 119 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 2: grew up Christian, he converted to become a Muslim, and 120 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 2: he was obviously reading his Kuran, had several in the house. 121 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 2: That was another weird thing we saw inside. 122 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: Of his house. Why, I mean, why did that happen? 123 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 3: I have no idea. I mean I was like, that 124 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 3: woman has to have a personal relationship with someone, because 125 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 3: that was the dumbest thing I've ever seen, right, that was. 126 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 3: I think that was a complete lack of professionalism, and 127 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 3: it's another reason why people don't trust the investigations being 128 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 3: done correctly. Remember I was in Benghazi. I know the 129 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 3: investigation wasn't done correctly into our attacks. It frustrates people 130 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 3: and then, like you said, it leads to distrust. 131 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: Right absolutely, So I think that's where we are right now. 132 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,559 Speaker 2: And I think there's this you know, there's this feeling 133 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 2: while Donald Trump is coming in, but what is he 134 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 2: coming into? And everybody thinks, so there's an overnight fix, 135 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 2: But there's not an overnight fix when you have this 136 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 2: deep seated disaster of a defense department that doesn't know 137 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 2: how to handle these situations. 138 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: And clearly, I mean that the reporter going in there. 139 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 2: We have asked so many questions about that, like how 140 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 2: did this woman get at was there? Normally would there 141 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 2: be someone stationed there that would be like, hey, you 142 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 2: can't there was no door. Why they just ripped the 143 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 2: door off And then they were like, you know what, 144 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 2: We're going to leave this standing wide open and certainly 145 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 2: no one will walk right in. 146 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, isn't it weird? Crazy, It's super weird. 147 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 3: But again, I think it's a lack of professionalism, right, 148 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 3: like someone doesn't know how to do their job. Well, 149 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 3: someone's in a position they shouldn't be in. And we 150 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 3: get a lot of that in the government. Unfortunately, you 151 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 3: don't always promote the best people. You promote time and 152 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 3: great and we have a lot of problems in the 153 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 3: federal government. You know, with the quality of people. 154 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 2: So we saw what happened in Afghanistan, and after Donald Trump, 155 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 2: it was like, oh, ISIS is gone. Everything's good, We've 156 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 2: got this under control. We're going to have this controlled, 157 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 2: this controlled retraction of everybody from Afghanistan and we're going 158 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 2: to close that down. 159 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: Obviously that didn't happen this. I think people. 160 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 2: Hear ISIS and they're like, oh, isis is is returned 161 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 2: and this guy was radicalized by ISIS. So explain the 162 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 2: difference between a loan actor and he's he's just like 163 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 2: a guy who did this because he he wasn't specifically 164 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 2: attached to them, And was this actually deeper because we're 165 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 2: hearing oh no, no, he just like read this online. 166 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 2: But now we're well, maybe he went to Egypt, maybe 167 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 2: he actually met with people, So what does it mean? 168 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think first let's just talk about lone wolf, right, 169 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 3: because they first made us believe this was a lone 170 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 3: wolf attacker. But then, as you noted, now they've said, oh, 171 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 3: he had this trip to Egypt, which is really interesting, 172 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 3: right because right across the border in Egypt, there's plenty 173 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 3: of terraf camps in Libya. And then they made this 174 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 3: really interesting comment that in his bombs there was a 175 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,839 Speaker 3: pound pound They have never seen in a bomb be 176 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 3: used in the United States or Europe. Right, So where 177 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 3: did he learn that? Maybe he could have landed it online. 178 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 3: But that does sound like something you learn in the field, right. 179 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 3: It sounds like a new innovation. It sounds like they're 180 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 3: trying to circumvent something. So he might have learned something 181 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 3: new and we're seeing it for the first time. Right. 182 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 3: That should be very alarming to people that there are 183 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,559 Speaker 3: bombs now in this country we have never seen before. 184 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,319 Speaker 3: Now when you just talk about al Qaida and isis 185 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 3: a lot of opinions on this, as you can imagine, right, 186 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 3: But just so you understand, they have been two separate 187 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 3: groups for many years, but starting around twenty fourteen, they 188 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 3: started to come together a lot around Syria, personal relationships, 189 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 3: fighting relationships over the years, and now they make compromises 190 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 3: and deals for certain activities. And al Qaeda right now 191 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 3: has basically plans joint plans with the Islamic State corus 192 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 3: On province that's the one based in the Pakistan Afghanistan region, 193 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 3: and they are jointly supporting each other for the attacks 194 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 3: on the US homeland. And the attacks in Europe. So 195 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 3: even if you see an ISIS attacker, it could also 196 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 3: have some Al Qaeda planning behind it. And when you 197 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 3: see al Qaida's flat plot, there might be some ISIS attackers. 198 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,319 Speaker 3: So this is something that our intelligence community has not 199 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 3: cut off up with and Taliban's manipulating information. So I 200 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 3: don't even think our intelligence community is passed you to 201 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,599 Speaker 3: deal with this. They're not dealing with them as a 202 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 3: joint right. 203 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 2: Well, I think that people are concerned about how many 204 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 2: terrorists have come across the border. You know, we heard 205 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 2: that we had all these ninety nine people on the 206 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 2: terror watch lists that crossed and ended up going out. 207 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 2: Potentially more that crossed without us knowing about it, the gotaways, 208 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 2: And so we see this situation happen with what happened 209 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 2: in New Orleans, and they say, oh, well, no, this 210 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 2: is somebody who was an American citizen, So it doesn't 211 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 2: have anything to. 212 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 1: Do with the border. 213 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 2: How much of having an open border is a concern 214 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,559 Speaker 2: with ices and al Kaieda, especially if their whole goal 215 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 2: is to have attacks against the US and Europe, having 216 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 2: an open border has to be a disaster, right. 217 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, Remember, so al Kaeda's plan is really interesting. They 218 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 3: want you to focus on these lone wolves so you 219 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,679 Speaker 3: don't focus on the bigger plot. And a piece of 220 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 3: the bigger plot has the border involved. Right, Some of 221 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 3: these new innovative bombs are coming over the border, the 222 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 3: suicide best are coming over the border, and number of 223 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 3: the suicide bombers are coming over the border, right, So 224 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 3: it's all I know, people want to separate everything, but really, 225 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 3: you know, this is a global strategy by the terrorists 226 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,199 Speaker 3: to attack us. You know, this year in twenty twenty five, right, 227 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 3: New Orleans isn't the first. There's going to be a 228 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 3: series of these that we need to prepare for. And 229 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,839 Speaker 3: the main reason they've been able to pull it off 230 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 3: is how accessible the border has been. And no matter 231 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 3: what should the weakness that we have. 232 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 2: So do you think that we are really in danger 233 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 2: of a major terror attack because and when I say that, 234 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 2: I've never even thought about the fact that these are 235 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 2: distractions and that someone can be used. 236 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 1: But it's kind of like the idea of the useful idiot. 237 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 2: Someone gets radicalized and it's like, hey, this guy will 238 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 2: be a good guy to distract. 239 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: We'll send him off to the side. 240 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 2: And everybody said why New Orleans, like why Bourbon Street? 241 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: Why not a bigger city? 242 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 2: Is that because it is a distraction for them to 243 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 2: then go in and have a bigger city and a 244 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 2: massive terror attack. 245 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 3: Well, I know for sure Al Qaeda has a massive 246 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 3: terror attack plan. They have at slaughter for twenty twenty five. 247 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 3: It could move, you know, like the Hamas attacks that 248 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 3: pushed a year, but it's going to be multi city. 249 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 3: It's going to be a swarming attack. So that's kind 250 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 3: of like we saw with the Mumbai bombings or some 251 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 3: in the Hamas attacks as well. They're going to have 252 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 3: about ten percent of the attackers to be suicide bombers 253 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 3: and they're going to bomb airliners. So there will be 254 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 3: a very large scale attack on the US homeland. Does 255 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 3: it all turn a day, I'm not sure, but the 256 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 3: terrafts are already here. The plan is operational. And this 257 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 3: is one of the things that people forget. For many years, 258 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 3: we were thwarting these plots overseas or allies where the 259 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 3: British resort that we've had the Saudi's sowed a couple 260 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 3: of the invisible bomb plots, right, but we're now we 261 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 3: lost ninety nine percent of collection in Afghanistan. We're relying 262 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 3: on the Taliban, who's providing this information. So we stopped 263 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 3: thwarting plots and we stopped bombing these terrists training camps. 264 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 3: So I think the public is very confused about what 265 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 3: we did in Iraq and Afghanistan. For those years we 266 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 3: stopped them from coming here. Well that's done. The last 267 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 3: four years, we have not stopped those people anymore. And 268 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 3: like you said, who's come across the border that we 269 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,839 Speaker 3: know of, the government has at least admitted three hundred 270 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 3: and seventy two terras crossed over. We know the numbers 271 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 3: much bigger, but that's the ones they identified. So think 272 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 3: to how many they've missed. 273 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on 274 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,239 Speaker 1: the Tutor Dixon podcast. 275 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 2: So we are thinking that we've had people out there 276 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,959 Speaker 2: over in Afghanistan. We've gotten control of that. Obviously now 277 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 2: it's totally out of control. But at the moment we're like, Okay, 278 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 2: we had the war in Iraq, you know, whatever there was, 279 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 2: there was bad information there. But supposedly this war on 280 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 2: terror has been keeping things at bay for a while. 281 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 2: And when Donald Trump was in office the first time 282 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 2: we really did go Okay, wow, this is eliminated. You know, 283 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 2: Donald Trump was out there saying he eliminated ISIS. Now 284 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 2: we're seeing this resurgence. Where does the money come from? 285 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 2: How does this happen? 286 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, if we talk about the money in Afghanistan is 287 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 3: a big pot. Right, So the US government funds a 288 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 3: big chunk of this. We talked about this multiple times. 289 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 3: They fly in eighties up to eighties funding terror. 290 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: Yes, how does that? How? What? 291 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 3: So they'll tell you it's for multiple reasons. One is 292 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 3: the reason that they need Taliban to fight ISIS. The 293 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 3: other reason they'll tell you is they need Taliban to 294 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 3: exfiltrate our allies. Right, So there's a humanitarian piece of 295 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 3: this that they say we need to fund it, and 296 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 3: then there's a counter terrorism piece of it that they 297 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 3: say they need to fund this. Well, here's over fifty 298 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 3: terraces camps in Afghanistan. So whatever counter terrorism fact they 299 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 3: have with Talban isn't working if it's a fight against ISIS. 300 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 3: ISIS has grown in size three times right under the Taliban. 301 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 3: So it's basically just kind of becoming this cover of 302 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 3: a failed counter terrorism operation. And I don't know if 303 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 3: you saw this week, But the former spy chief of Afghanistan, 304 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 3: on Rula Sale, actually broke down the US military funding 305 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 3: to the Taliman for county searism operations. Just in the 306 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 3: last year, it says on the list they gave sixty 307 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 3: million dollars to women for scholarships. There wasn't one woman 308 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 3: in Afghanistan who go to college in the last year. 309 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 3: So where did that sixty million go? It went to Terrace. 310 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 2: So I have for the last what two years now 311 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 2: seeing all of these leftist activists come out and say, 312 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 2: you know, we have to stop the colonizers, we have 313 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 2: to stop the oppressors, we have to stop the misogynists. 314 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 2: And yet their party essentially has been in control for 315 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 2: four years and knowingly is funding a group who I mean, 316 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 2: we know they haven't gotten to college. We know they 317 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 2: haven't even gotten to the girls haven't even gone to school. 318 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 2: The change in Afghanistan, it goes from like a Western 319 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 2: nice country to a radical, a terrorist organization overnight when 320 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 2: Joe Biden rips everybody out of there. The girls, I mean, 321 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 2: the stories that we've heard from Afghanistan, it's. 322 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: Like their lives are just over. They knew it was 323 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: immediately over. 324 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 2: These women were immediately changed to be in full burkas, 325 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 2: they weren't allowed to go to school, they were being 326 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 2: married off at young ages. Everything just changes overnight. So 327 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 2: how do you not have activist group here, groups here 328 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 2: saying enough is enough, we can't let this happen. 329 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, and they have all these horrible ruses you won't 330 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 3: even believe it. Like a woman first can't go to 331 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 3: the airport right without a man. But when she goes 332 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 3: to the airport, they have this thing where it's like, oh, 333 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 3: your family lodged a complaint against you or someone else's 334 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 3: family did. They put the women through the courts and 335 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 3: then they lock her up. So women can't even really 336 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 3: like leave Afghanistan even if they have a pathway if 337 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 3: the Talban wants to keep you in country, if you're 338 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 3: a woman, like there is no miss escape unless you 339 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 3: illegally crossed into Iran or Pakistan. Right, it's government's not 340 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 3: even being honest about it. I know some single women 341 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 3: who can't get on planes because they don't have men 342 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 3: to bring them there, and state departments like, well, we 343 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 3: can't do anything about it. It's Taliban policy and they're 344 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 3: just letting them be stuck. 345 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 2: There are these American women or are these Afghani women 346 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 2: who were helping us. 347 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,640 Speaker 3: So there's a mix of them. Some are Afghanian women 348 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 3: who are helping us. Some are women who married Americans 349 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 3: but their paperwork hadn't gone through in time. You know, 350 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 3: it's a very long process if you marry a foreigner, right, 351 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 3: it's like two to five years to get your visa. 352 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 3: I had one. She was at the two year mark. 353 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 3: We ended up bringing her over the border into Islam. 354 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 3: About her husband lived in Maryland, and we got her out, 355 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 3: but she probably wouldn't have gone on a plane in 356 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 3: Afghanistan because she didn't have a family member to take 357 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 3: her there. So there's all these weird family situations, as 358 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 3: you can imagine, because of visa paperwork. And then another 359 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 3: thing that happened, and a lot of people don't realize, 360 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 3: is it was summer when cable fell, so a lot 361 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:09,719 Speaker 3: of women and children went to Afghanistan to visit the grandparents. Right, 362 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 3: so they live in America and the grandparents live in Afghanistan. 363 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 3: And so when we abandon those Americans at the airport, 364 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,640 Speaker 3: it was mostly women and children, right. Their husbands were 365 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 3: still here working. They went and visited their families, and 366 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 3: that's what I was working on, evacuating women and children. 367 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 3: And we actually had to bring private flights in to 368 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 3: take an American women and children after the Biden administration 369 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 3: took up the last flight. 370 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,640 Speaker 2: So we hear all the time that when this happened, 371 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,879 Speaker 2: there were thirteen service members lost. But you talked about 372 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 2: the suicides that have happened since because of situations like this, 373 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 2: because people know that there are people left behind. There's 374 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 2: a tremendous amount of guilt over having been over there 375 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 2: and not being able to get people out. There's also 376 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,400 Speaker 2: a tremendous feeling of loss. Why did I give up 377 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 2: so much to be over there, to just have it 378 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,199 Speaker 2: go back to the to the Taliban, and then to 379 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 2: hear that we are funding them now to really terrorize 380 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 2: the people that we left behind, It's just shocking. 381 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, if you just do the most basic 382 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 3: level of that, and you are working at the airport, right, 383 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 3: your US Marine at the airport, while all this is happening, 384 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 3: seeing betrayal in real time, right, your government all of 385 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 3: a sudden says you got to work with the Taliban 386 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,679 Speaker 3: at the gates. Then a week later, hey, actually the 387 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 3: Hakani network runs the gates. Then they're watching women be 388 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 3: shot in the head, babies burned alive. You can't act 389 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,400 Speaker 3: on that, think that the damage that you're standing there. 390 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 3: People are begging at you all day. You're watching the 391 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 3: Taliban kill people just to upset you, burn people alive, 392 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 3: kill children. And you sat through all of that, and 393 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 3: then you got to come back to America, right, and 394 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 3: you remember everybody left behind. You saw those blue pathports 395 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 3: held up, and you knew you didn't let them in. 396 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 3: You weren't able to get them in, right, So just 397 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 3: that level, and you know when the soldiers came back, 398 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 3: they got guidance. We don't want to hear about Afghanistan. 399 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 3: I mean, think about that, like the chain of command 400 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 3: didn't even care. 401 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,479 Speaker 2: I mean, I think that's to the American people who 402 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 2: watch this from Afar, it's so hard to understand what 403 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,640 Speaker 2: actually goes on because you know, so many Americans are 404 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 2: just really truly spoiled, and they cannot imagine that there 405 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 2: is a world different than the world they live in. 406 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 2: I mean, it's like the people who go out there 407 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 2: and they're the gaze for Gaza and you're like, this 408 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 2: is a different world. There's a dangerous world out there 409 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 2: that is not as loving and doesn't embrace you the 410 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 2: way the United States is. The United States is special 411 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 2: for a reason, and I think these soldiers are probably 412 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 2: coming back to the United States where people are like, 413 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 2: you know, well, why is it any different than here? 414 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: Why don't we just take care of these people over there? 415 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 2: And they know that there as good and there as evil, 416 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 2: and they've seen it in a way we never will. 417 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, And every thing that really happened in this case 418 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 3: that I think is very frustrating to the working level 419 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 3: and the intelligence people involved here is our government also 420 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 3: made it seem like this was an ISIS lone wolf 421 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 3: attacker that did Abby Gate, but it was a joint 422 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 3: plan between ISIS, Courson Province and the Hakani network. But 423 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 3: it got covered up that it was a Hakani network 424 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 3: because we made a deal with them to do security 425 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 3: at the airport. So this was a plan plot. The 426 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,959 Speaker 3: Hakanis moved the bomber to the airport, Hakani commanders led 427 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 3: him into the airport, and then it was a Hakani 428 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 3: commander named Hafis Hakhani who said you were in the 429 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 3: right position to kill as many Marines as possible. I 430 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 3: know other people died that they used marines to blow, 431 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 3: and so a Khani network member told the suicide bomber 432 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 3: to blow. The other interesting thing about that Hakani network member, 433 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,120 Speaker 3: it may of the year before, the year after. He's 434 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 3: the one who brought doctor I'man al Zaurihiri back to Kabbo. 435 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 3: Same person. So our government's not being honest with you 436 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 3: about how intertwined these terrorists are and who is actually 437 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 3: involved in this plotting and who killed are thirteen And 438 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 3: I think that's very frustrating to the families why. I 439 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,719 Speaker 3: think they don't want to admit that they made a 440 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 3: mistake in dealing with the Taliban, and now for a 441 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 3: few years they've doubled down on it. We're getting misinformation 442 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 3: that the Taliban's killing ISIS members. They're not. They're saying 443 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 3: they're killing someone US lost intelligence on the ground, US 444 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 3: can't confirm it. They're printing it out as back, they're 445 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 3: putting classified channels as back. Completely compromised. We have a 446 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,919 Speaker 3: huge counter intelligence problem now because of that, just solely 447 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 3: because of a relationship with the Taliban. And a piece 448 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 3: of it is is there are people in our government 449 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 3: who really thought maybe we can use the Taliban as 450 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 3: counter to Russia after the Ukraine War kicked off and 451 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 3: they want very bad decisions based on it. 452 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 1: How do you get out of this? What's the next step? 453 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 3: Well, I think there are multiple things. We need to 454 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 3: defund and stop all funds going to the Taliban. We 455 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 3: need to designate the Taliban organization. We need to put 456 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 3: everybody on ice who's been meeting with the Taliban the 457 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 3: last four years, interview all of them. We need to 458 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 3: go back and pull out every piece of information we 459 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 3: put in classified channels from them. We need to caveat it. 460 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 3: So they came from terrace and we need to clean 461 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 3: up the mess that we allowed to happen. On the 462 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 3: Taliban side, I'll kind of plots operational, right, so we 463 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 3: need to move quick. We need to like strike the 464 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 3: command and control of their homeland attack, right, We needed 465 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 3: to take out the mastermind of the attack. His name 466 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 3: is Stifle Auto. Like, there are some operations that need 467 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:31,679 Speaker 3: to be done to save American lives. 468 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 1: But the Afghanistan decision wasn't made in a vacuum. 469 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 2: I mean there were a lot of high level military 470 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 2: personnel who said, yeah, yeah, let's just do this, So 471 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 2: how do you root that out? 472 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,880 Speaker 1: I mean, how does like does a pete hegseth. 473 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 2: Go in and have to go Okay, I'm gonna I'm 474 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 2: going to analyze all of this and we're just going 475 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 2: to start getting rid of people or moving people. 476 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:53,360 Speaker 1: I mean, how do you do it? 477 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean we've seen the Joint staff, right, is 478 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 3: the power of vacuum there? You know, they undercut Trump 479 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,439 Speaker 3: and his first administration. So if he can't go in 480 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 3: there and handle the Joint staff and make changes there, 481 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 3: we're going to have the same problem. Right, So I 482 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 3: think that's what needs to be focused on and weed 483 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 3: it out. And we really do have a lot of 484 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 3: week leaders who have fallen for this, you know, politicalization 485 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 3: of intelligence. Right. They're appeasing people so when they move 486 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 3: out of the military, they can get board positions, they 487 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 3: can get certain appointments, right, Like, it's not anymore about 488 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 3: the mission and what is the right thing to do? 489 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 3: And somehow we have to bring it back to that. Somehow, 490 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 3: Maybe it is some restrictions on what you do after 491 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,639 Speaker 3: you leave service, right, maybe we start making things harder. 492 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 3: I mean, that's one of the big problems with Stats Department. 493 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,959 Speaker 1: By that restricting what they can do after service. 494 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 3: So a really great example is, so we have this 495 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 3: huge problem, as you know, with State Department giving money 496 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 3: to all these NGOs and they actually don't spend it appropriately. Well, 497 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 3: that's easy for them to do because the board and 498 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 3: members of those NGOs were former State Department. Right, they're 499 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,120 Speaker 3: just moving money to their friends. Now, if you made 500 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,679 Speaker 3: a restriction, you can't join the lord to be a 501 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 3: part of any ngo that receives money from the US 502 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 3: government for a large period of time, five or ten years. 503 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,239 Speaker 3: It would prevent some of that. Right, So we do 504 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 3: need to get ahead of what would is essentially premption 505 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 3: of our retired intelligence and diplomatic officials. 506 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 2: I mean, I think we struggle with that in every 507 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 2: area of government. And you know, Donald Trump has been 508 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 2: criticized because he made the comment that he wants his 509 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 2: generals to obey his command. And obviously he was criticized 510 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 2: because he used an example nobody likes. I will say, 511 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 2: when you look at this situation, knowing that these guys 512 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 2: are making decisions that are not the best decisions for 513 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 2: the country, there's a reason that a president has chosen 514 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 2: as commander in chief. Do we have a historic problem 515 00:25:52,840 --> 00:26:00,080 Speaker 2: where these folks in the military have given themselves more authority. 516 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,120 Speaker 1: Than they to be taking. And this maybe, I mean, 517 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 1: you said it happened. 518 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 2: We know what happened under Trump, but has and we 519 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 2: don't know what happened under Biden because I don't think 520 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 2: that he's mentally capable of making these decisions. And I 521 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 2: think a lot of people knew that the decline was severe. 522 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 2: I mean, we now are hearing reports that he wasn't 523 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 2: lucid in the Afghanistan meeting. 524 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: How scary is that? 525 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 2: And so if he wasn't lucid and he didn't know 526 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:29,399 Speaker 2: what was happening, and the Joint Chiefe for making these decisions, 527 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 2: then at what point does somebody have to go in 528 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 2: and really determine how much power have they taken away? 529 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 2: Has the unelected bureaucracy taken away? And they are making 530 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 2: decisions that are damaging not just the United States, but 531 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 2: I mean, these are damaging the entire world if the 532 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 2: United States makes bad decisions. 533 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's damaging morale in the military recruitment in 534 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 3: the military, you're not keeping good people because they don't 535 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 3: want to fall in line behind leaders like this, Right, 536 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 3: we had obviously a lot of this in the Iraq War. 537 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 3: But I don't know if you remember, but when President 538 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 3: Obama was in office and then the now Secretary of 539 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 3: Defense Austin Ran sent Coom to appease the president, they 540 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 3: downplayed ISIS in their reports from Sentcom. So think about it. 541 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 3: All those analysts and all those collectors involved in that 542 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,160 Speaker 3: at Sencom were like, you know, they're like, I don't 543 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,239 Speaker 3: even want to do this mission anymore. Right, if they 544 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 3: don't want the truth, then they don't want to hear 545 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 3: the truth. And like, I'm spending time away for my 546 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 3: family to collect this information, and you're lying. You know, 547 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 3: the President's making you lie. You're lying to the public. 548 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 3: ISIS is growing, all these people are being killed, Like 549 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 3: why would I stay a cog in this? Right, So 550 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 3: we lost a ton of people after the Iraq War, 551 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 3: We lost a ton of people to do with the 552 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 3: ISIS fight, and we're losing a lot of people after 553 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 3: what's happened in Afghanistan. And remember it takes a lot 554 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,959 Speaker 3: of money and a lot of time to train people 555 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 3: to be great, right, and if you're losing them in 556 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 3: the government, then what do you get. You get stuck 557 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:58,160 Speaker 3: with the B Team. 558 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on 559 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 1: the Tutor Dixon Podcast. 560 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 2: There's a lot of power to get rid of the 561 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 2: people who speak against you, though, and when you're in 562 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 2: that situation, when you were in a power dynamic like that, 563 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 2: and I think that, I mean, we even saw that 564 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,120 Speaker 2: during COVID where people would come out and be like, look, 565 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 2: I'm going to get I'm going to get kicked out 566 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 2: of the military if I don't take this, and then 567 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 2: they did, because they even went out and publicly and 568 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 2: spoke about it. So it does seem like for many 569 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 2: years there's been a massive amount of corruption in that system. 570 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:32,200 Speaker 1: And I think that. 571 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,399 Speaker 2: People go, man, how could he pick Pete Hagzathy know, 572 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 2: how could he pick. 573 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:37,439 Speaker 1: Him to go in there and run it? 574 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 2: But Trump is unique because he had this four years 575 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 2: where he wasn't in office, I mean, and clearly unique. 576 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 2: He's only the second president who has gone back into 577 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 2: office and not consecutive terms. 578 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: Right, which is to me so beautiful because. 579 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 2: You can get mired in the every day and over 580 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 2: eight years not really see what's right hand happening right 581 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 2: in front of you, but being taken out and then 582 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 2: going back in and saying, man, I'm not going to 583 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 2: choose the same people. I'm going to choose people that 584 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 2: are loyal to the agenda that the American people chose. 585 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 2: And I think that's also someplace where people get confused. 586 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 2: They're like, oh, this is Trump's agenda. He has talked 587 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 2: to so many people across the country. It's not his agenda, 588 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 2: it's our agenda. 589 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: And he is. 590 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 2: Going in there with a new lease on life and 591 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 2: a new view on government to say, we're gonna break 592 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 2: some of this up and break up this corruption. And 593 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 2: we're seeing it in our state too. We just had 594 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 2: a state rep who left office and joined a lobbying 595 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 2: firm immediately, and these are. 596 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: That's where the corruption is. 597 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 2: And like it's so blatant, and yet people are like, oh, 598 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 2: congratulations on the new job. 599 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 1: Why are you saying that. 600 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's really frustrating. And when you talk 601 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 3: about like the government targeting, when you go against the 602 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 3: narrative or say something. I mean, I obviously work Benghazi, right, 603 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 3: most of us in Benghazi at least that our names 604 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 3: became a little public we did get targeted IRS investigations. 605 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 3: I know people don't want to hear it, and when 606 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 3: they targeted me, I actually ended up with seven hundred 607 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 3: dollars because I actually overpaid the irs, so I won. 608 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 3: But the end of the days, they do those things, 609 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 3: and Americans need to understand that's happening. So you need 610 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 3: to listen to the people willing to fight that and 611 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 3: who'll stand up against it. And we need more Americans 612 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 3: to do that. Right, just you do the right thing. 613 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 3: A lot of people care about what the Internet says 614 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 3: about them, right, there's this weird facad like social media 615 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 3: is real. But the end of the day, it's like 616 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 3: your legacy at the end of your life is what matters, right, 617 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 3: nothing else matters. And I think people are getting lost 618 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 3: in this clickbait stuff and oh no, a bunch of 619 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 3: people saying bad stuff, like right now, people on the 620 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 3: internet saying I'm a ciasi, I don't give a damn right, 621 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 3: I'm doing great work. I've been doing great work. I'm 622 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 3: trying to save lives and I'm perfectly fine with that. 623 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 3: And I think a lot more people need to like 624 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 3: stand in their own feet and do what's right. 625 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 2: I also think it's it's much more comfortable to believe 626 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 2: that we are not under threat, even though even Christopher 627 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 2: Ray has been saying for years now right alert, we 628 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 2: are going to have a terror attack on us soil. 629 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 2: Now you're saying that you know that this is being planned. 630 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 2: So I will just end it on what can people 631 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 2: do to stay vigilant? Because when I hear that, I 632 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 2: feel very vulnerable, like, oh, I okay, We're going to 633 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 2: have this massive attack and there's nothing I can do 634 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 2: about it. And yet people did see like this guy's 635 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 2: brother from New Orleans, he's like, man, we did see 636 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 2: a huge change in him. Something happened and it's hard 637 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 2: to speak up. But how do you prepare people to 638 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 2: be more vigilant when we are so spoiled? 639 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we've gotten lax, right, So we were 640 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 3: really strong, like see something, say something was really working 641 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 3: for a long time, and then, like you said, we 642 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 3: didn't have attacks. I think fear comes when you're not prepared, right. 643 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 3: So I think the easiest thing to do is you first, 644 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 3: you know, get you home in order, right, you sit down, 645 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 3: you talk to your family, you know, age appropriate discussions. 646 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 3: But remember your kids are seeing this on TikTok. They're 647 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 3: seeing me on TikTok, and I'm probably not the best 648 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 3: avenue for them to hear there's a big attack coming, right, 649 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 3: So sit down with them at night, then talk about 650 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 3: how you're going to deal with this as a family. 651 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 3: Because a tearist attack can be held the same way 652 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 3: as an active shooter at a school, you still need 653 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 3: to have this discussion, right, So you need to make plans, 654 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 3: like what's our plan if something happens? Do we have 655 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 3: a meeting point? If the phone networks go down? If 656 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 3: you're in a situation, do we have a word? Right? So, 657 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 3: if I'm a I'm in a school and I'm a kid, 658 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 3: I call my parents and I say blue, and I 659 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 3: hang up the phone. They know there's an ACTI shooter 660 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 3: situation going on to my school. I can't deal with 661 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 3: an irate mother asking me a million questions when I'm 662 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 3: trying to get the safety right. So at the most 663 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 3: basic level, protect your family. Then you need to go 664 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 3: to community level. You talk to your church again, you 665 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 3: talk to your school, if you talk to law enforce 666 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 3: and say do you have even heard of this threat? 667 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 3: When's the last time you've done is training for this? 668 00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 3: What do you need to be financed for it? Right? 669 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 3: Do we have to help send letters to the state 670 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 3: and get you financing for our local shaf's office. Whatever 671 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 3: it needs to be right, then get involved on that level. 672 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 3: So just do each piece at a time. As you 673 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 3: move along and prepare, you'll feel more comfortable. The most 674 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 3: basic thing to do is just get first day training right, 675 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 3: because then you can help someone else. 676 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 1: Wow, that's interesting. I mean really that is. 677 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 2: And I have These are things that you don't really 678 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 2: think about. Like my girlfriend is a pharmacist and she 679 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 2: had narkana and she was like, you need to carry 680 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 2: it in your car. And I'm like, why would I 681 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 2: need to carry this? And she's like, because you never know. 682 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,959 Speaker 2: But that's another great example of that. You never know 683 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 2: what could happen right in front of you. And just 684 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 2: like those folks who came back from Afghanistan and said, 685 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 2: why couldn't I do more? Why couldn't I save this person? 686 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 2: Why can't I bring this person back? You could be 687 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 2: in that position if you're not prepared. And it's something 688 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 2: I have never thought about. So I appreciate you. 689 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 1: Coming on today.
