1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: All right, News round Up, Information Overload hour Sean Hannity Show, 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,360 Speaker 1: eight hundred and nine for one, Shawn, if you want 3 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 1: to be a part of the program. I'm tired of 4 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:11,120 Speaker 1: the lie I inherited this plan. This is it wasn't 5 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 1: my plan. I inherited this plan. I decided to withdraw 6 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,639 Speaker 1: because I was abiding by the Trump piece deal with 7 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:22,279 Speaker 1: the Taliban. Now we've interviewed Donald Trump, We've interviewed Mark Meadows, 8 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: We've interviewed former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Former Vice 9 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: President Mike Pence is on record as saying this is 10 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,480 Speaker 1: not the Trump plan. It never was the Trump plan. 11 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: The Trump Plan was predicated one on the understanding, first 12 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,200 Speaker 1: and foremost that if you do not abide by the agreement, 13 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: every comma, every I, every T, every I dotted, every 14 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: T crossed, every period, that you will be blown into 15 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 1: another century. That was point one. In other words, when 16 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: they got to two percent of the country, there would 17 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: have been a massive military response like Donald Trump did 18 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: with Caliphate in Syria. As he defeated them, he made 19 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: sure before any further discussions continued, he said it to 20 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,759 Speaker 1: the leader of the Taliban. Now Joe can release that transcript. 21 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: They love to release Donald Trump transcripts with bar and leaders. 22 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: Release that one. I'd love for the world to see 23 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: it and read it and understand it and know that 24 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 1: Joe is lying. You'd never implemented the Trump plan, So 25 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: stop saying like what you said here to ABC News 26 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: and stop lying about it. Look, George, the reason why 27 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: it has been stable for a year is because the 28 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: last pressure said, we're leaving. And here's the deal I 29 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: want to make with you, Taliban. We're agreeing to leave 30 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: if you agree not to attack us between now and 31 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: the time we leave on May the first. Thus, in 32 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: two months after I am elected to office, I has 33 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: sworn in all of a sudden, I am a May 34 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: one deadline. I'm a May one deadline. I wanted two choices. 35 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: Do I say we're staying and do you think we 36 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: would have to put a hell of a lot more 37 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: troops we had we had one hundreds, We had tens 38 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: of thousands of troops there before tens of thousands. Do 39 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: you think we would would have just said, no problem, 40 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: don't worry about it. We're not going to tack anybody. 41 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: We're okay in the meantime. But Taliban was taken territory 42 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: all throughout the country, in the north and down in 43 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: the south and the Pashtu. Would you have withdrawn troops 44 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: like this even if President Trump had not made that 45 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: deal with the Taliban, I would have tried to figure 46 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: out how to withdraw those troops. Yes, because look, George, 47 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: there's no good time to leave Afghanistan. Fifteen years ago 48 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: would have been a problem. Fifteen years from now. You 49 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: could have planned for an orderly removal of Americans. First, Joe, 50 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: you could have followed the Trump threat up because they 51 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: didn't start advancing until you became president. Hadn't been an 52 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 1: American killed in Afghanistan in a year and a half 53 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,119 Speaker 1: before you came into office. And and no good time, well, 54 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: there's always a good time to have an orderly draw 55 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: down and even withdrawal with conditions based on the ground, 56 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: as President Trump told me this week, Mike Pompeo has 57 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: told us, Mike Pence has said, and Mark Meadows has confirmed. 58 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: So I believe that the worst part is the Pentagon 59 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: spokesperson John Kirby. I don't know how many have no 60 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 1: idea how many Americans are trapped in Afghanistan. Why not 61 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: how many Americans, American citizens remain in and of course 62 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: I don't know the State Department would be a better 63 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: place to go for an estimate of how many Americans 64 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: are Afghanistan or in and around Cobble. That is not 65 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: a figure that the United States military would would know. 66 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: And I think, as you also know, not every American 67 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: citizen in another country. There's no obligation that they register 68 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: their presence and that we and that you can have 69 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: a perfect accurate account. The same people that want to 70 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: cite Farah laws and the Logan Act. Okay, anyway, joining 71 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: US now, former Brigadier General Don Bullduck is with US 72 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: Tory Richard's over at Washington Examiner had a great interview 73 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: with the brigadier general. Sir, welcome to the program. Thank 74 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: you for being with us. You did ten tours of 75 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: duty in Afghanistan after nine to eleven, Sir, I did 76 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: from two thousand and one twenty thirteen, ten tours, and 77 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: I lost seventy two service members I did not bring home. 78 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: So I have an idea what sacrifice was, and you 79 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: know the successes, and I'm sad to see what we've 80 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: done there, and I characterize it like you, sir, as 81 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: an unmitigated disaster unparalleled political and military history. See five 82 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: bronze Stars, two Purple Hearts. Before retiring in twenty seventeen, 83 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: you're running for the Senate in New Hampshire. It's an 84 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: honor to meet your general. I read your comments. I'll 85 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: let you in your own words. You've described it similarly 86 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 1: as I have as an Adam shift show, and that 87 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 1: the and you know, tell me if I'm wrong in 88 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: my assessment that right now where we are today, I 89 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: don't see any military option because we know what the 90 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 1: Taliban will do with fifteen thousand. According to Joe Americans 91 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: behind enemy lines or around fifteen thousand. Well, yes, there's 92 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 1: only one thing to do, and unfortunately it's a U turn. 93 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: I agree with your assessment on President Trump's plan. I 94 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: also know that seven years ago, the Obama administration, and 95 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: if I'm correct, the Vice President was part of that, 96 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: made a terrible decision to change our strategy from a 97 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: counterinsurgency strategy bottom up that was being very successful. And 98 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: we did have a mark on the wall of twenty 99 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: sixteen where we would be completely done with the transition 100 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 1: of that program and the Taliban and al Qaeda. We 101 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: believe would have been successfully defeated. So when he says 102 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: that he never heard of a plan or sorrow plant, 103 00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 1: he's absolutely wrong because as Vice President lasts Administration, Susan Rice, 104 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: the President, the National Security Council, the Chairman of the 105 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: Joint Chiefs Staff, the Secretary of Defense, and all the 106 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: leadership in Afghanistan knew this to be true. And when 107 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,799 Speaker 1: we told him it was a bad idea to change strategy, 108 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: they didn't listen. They went to non combat operations and 109 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: that set in the Taliban taking over the rural areas, 110 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 1: a reversal in the security situation which has led to 111 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: this unmitigated disaster. And they used the two eleven Iraq 112 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: Plan basically as the plan for for Afghanistan. They knew better. 113 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: General Millie knew better, General Aston knew better, or Secretary Austin, 114 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: they all knew better. I was a subordinate commander for 115 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: them in twenty twelve and thirteen. They knew the deal, 116 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: and they also knew that the assessment of the Afghan 117 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 1: national security forces since two thousand and five has been 118 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: that they cannot defeat the Taliban on their own. So 119 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: given all the equipment they have and all the training 120 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: they have and so on. So that's great, but they 121 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,799 Speaker 1: still in twenty twenty one could not defeat the Taliban. 122 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: They own the rural areas, so it was just a hop, 123 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: skip and a jump. So they know they're dealing with 124 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: a weak administration. They know they're dealing with a with 125 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: a pentagon that's in disarray, that's focusing more on teaching 126 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: CRT and social emotional learning than they are on employing 127 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: the men and the great men and women in our 128 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: military to defeat our enemies. So, hey, what we need 129 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: to do. We need to take back all our air fields. 130 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: And that's all the air fields and I'll name them 131 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: for you, the ones in Harah, in Marjar Sharif, the 132 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: one in Kandus, the one in Kabul, the one in Kandahar. 133 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: And we need to take all those back, set up 134 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: a set up a breakout and break out and take 135 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: the presidential or excuse me, the provincial capitals back. And 136 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: then we need to put our special ops guys on 137 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: the ground and re establish the village stability Afghan local 138 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: police and then push them out of the rural areas. 139 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: Think short of a full engagement just keeps us in 140 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: the in the current holding pattern, which is the Taliban 141 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: controls the fate of fifteen thousand plus Americans. Never mind 142 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: the afghanis exactly that we're interpreters and assisted us that 143 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: we're promised safe haven if this day ever came exactly exactly, 144 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: and we have people that are retired and we have 145 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: people in him there that know how to do this. 146 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: We need to put them in charge and leave them alone. 147 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: Let him get this thing done. We beat him before 148 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: in you know, two thousand and one, two thousand and two, 149 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: we beat him again between twenty ten and twenty thirteen, 150 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: before he changed, before Obama changed strategy. We did it before. 151 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: We can do it again. We know how to do it, 152 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: and we just got to show them strength because right 153 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: now they see weakness and they're not going to listen 154 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: to us. It's and it's going to imperil American. You know, 155 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: like so many Americans, I think these endless wars have 156 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: to We can't do what we've been doing. Have kids 157 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: go door to door in Baghdad. I think there's a 158 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: lesson to be learned from the way that Donald Trump 159 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: defeated the Caliphate which grew under Biden and Obama, and 160 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: that is he systematically as they took over, for example, Syria, 161 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: racket Syria, he just bombed them back backwards and he 162 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: took over each piece of territory. The problem we now 163 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: find ourselves immersed in is quite challenging, and that is 164 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: we've got fifteen thousand or so American lives on the 165 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: line and the risk that they will be used as 166 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: human shields and b that they will you know, we 167 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: know what they're capable of and what they would do 168 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: and probably put that video out to the entire world 169 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:48,079 Speaker 1: without getting too graphic. General M. Yeah, well, you're absolutely right, Sean, 170 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: and that's why Afghanistan, if we're going to do this 171 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 1: right and it won't take forever again. But unfortunately we've 172 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 1: done it wrong for so long, and we've done this 173 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: wrong that we just can't go in and do the 174 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: same kind of bombing that we did in Syria because 175 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,559 Speaker 1: of the collateral damage that you just talk to. You 176 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: you're saying, short of this massive military presence and operation, 177 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: you don't see any other way to successfully control the 178 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,959 Speaker 1: destiny of American citizens now that are ostensibly trapped or 179 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: pretty much a hostage to the Taliban and the perimeter 180 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: they created around Karzai International Airport unless the Taliban decide 181 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 1: to completely allow them and support transportation of American citizens 182 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 1: to Kabul to get them out. Absolutely not. And don't 183 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: there any possibility that this promise that they're making America 184 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: or that General Millie is repeating and our Defense Secretary 185 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: and National Security advisers saying they have promised safe passage 186 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: to Karzai International Airport. Is there any any any possibility 187 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: you believe that to be true in any way, or 188 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: you do not believe that's possible. I don't believe that's possible, sir. 189 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: I you know my experience there, what I understand about it, 190 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: How I have fought there, How I have employed other 191 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: American service members to fight there, sitting across the table 192 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: from the Taliban and negotiating deals with them in rural areas. 193 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: Uh No, I don't believe that that can happen. I 194 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: think it's irresponsible for any of them to tell the 195 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: American people that that can happen, because if we're going 196 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: to do a full withdrawal, there was a way to 197 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:36,079 Speaker 1: do it and identify where every American was, and before 198 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 1: the Taliban advanced this far, we could have very safely, 199 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: very securely extracted everybody, every American and everybody that we 200 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: had promised safe haven too. Yes, President Trump had the plan, 201 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: but instead of holding the airfields we had all over 202 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: the country and bringing in the appropriate aircraft and the 203 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: appropriate support, and then holding the Taliban off and bringing 204 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 1: Americans and bringing our interpreters and other workers that we 205 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 1: were going to get out of Afghanistan and then safely 206 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:18,439 Speaker 1: doing that and then saying, Okay, Afghanistan government, figure out 207 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: what kind of government you want here, and then we 208 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: wouldn't have this mess. But we didn't do that, sir, 209 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: And you know, I mean, I'm speaking to the choir here. 210 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,079 Speaker 1: We can see we didn't do that. There was a 211 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: right way to do it. We didn't do it the 212 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: right way. So now we're stuck with the harder way. 213 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 1: And this isn't Iraq, this isn't Syria. It's much different. 214 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: And I wouldn't trust the Taliban as far as I 215 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: could throw one of those guys. I mean, that is 216 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: the great danger. I know that the Department of Defense 217 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: generals knew in two thousand and five there was a 218 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: problem with the military. You created a program that involved 219 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: local police in the villages and that they were trained 220 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: to combat the Taliban specifically now by the way, now 221 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: the Taliban has equipped with billions of dollars of American 222 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: technology and weaponry general. That scares me too. Yeah, it 223 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: scares me too. When I when I saw the mpors 224 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 1: on the shelves and I saw all that equipment there, 225 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I just uh, you know, I 226 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: obviously had to shake my head, uh and go wow, um, 227 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: this is but it's not unexpected. And to stand there 228 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,599 Speaker 1: and say that they were that they had the capability 229 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: to beat the Taliban, they didn't. The Afghan local police 230 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: routinely beat the Taliban in the village areas. Why because 231 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: that's where they worked, that's where they lived, that's where 232 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: their family was, and they didn't want the Taliban and 233 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,199 Speaker 1: Alocada to hurt their family. Different investment in mindset, in 234 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 1: will right, the Afghan National Police, in the Afghan National Military, 235 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,559 Speaker 1: I mean, it was a national organization that completely excluded 236 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: the idea of regionalism. So they had they had uh 237 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: you know Afghans in the north who are Uzbek and 238 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 1: Taji descent down in the southern portion, which were postures 239 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: they didn't even speak the language, do anything. They weren't 240 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: best to stay there. That's why a wall rates were 241 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,839 Speaker 1: so high. Leadership, you know, I mean they they would 242 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,959 Speaker 1: stop fighting, right, They would literally stop fighting because they 243 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: didn't want to shoot other Muslims. Another thing the leadership 244 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 1: knew about that. You know a lot of Americans don't. 245 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: They would stop shooting, and our guys would come out 246 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: of their cover and concealed positions and go grab them 247 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: and say, oh, hey, get up, come on, come on fight, 248 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: and then our guys would get hit. Um. And so 249 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: it's it's not it shouldn't be a surprise that any 250 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: of this happened based off of the way they did it. Sure, 251 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: I can't thank you enough. I mean, you're you know, 252 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: five Bronze stars speak for themselves.

Thank you for your service, thank you for 256 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: your time, thank you for being with us. Good luck 257 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: in your race.

We really appreciate you being on the program today, sir. 259 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: Thank you for having me on the program. God bless you. 260 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: Thank you for what you do to bring the truth 261 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: to the American people, and God bless our fellow citizens. Yeah, 262 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: thank you, sir. We'll continue when we come back straight 263 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: to the phones eight hundred and nine four one sean, 264 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: as we continue our coverage of this unmitigated disaster of 265 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's making in Afghanistan, straight Ahood twenty five until 266 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: the top of the hour. Eight hundred and nine four 267 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: one sean is our number. You want to be a 268 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: part of the program, you know, I know that in 269 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: certain there's things in life. You know, Linda, you can 270 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: relate to this as a parent. You got a six 271 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: year old, right that are out of your control. You know. 272 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: I kid around with my daughter and I said, you know, 273 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: I liked it so much better when I had complete 274 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: and total control of everything. I say that to both 275 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: my kids. I mean, it may sound a little mean, 276 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: but I like the feeling of being in control of things. 277 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: When you have a six year old, you were in control, 278 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: but you're not totally control, right, Okay. Now that's gonna 279 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: be these intervening years and you're gonna realize you control 280 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: pretty much everything. All you gotta do is say okay, 281 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: I'm taking your iPhone, I'm taking your iPad, I'm taking 282 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: your computer, and you're gonna have to stay in your 283 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: room and guess what you'll get full compliance. Those are 284 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: the good years and they begin to drift off into 285 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: their own independence in life. And it gets a little 286 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: more difficult in the world in which there is horrific evil, 287 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: where there are people that are fanatics, we call them 288 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: Islamic fundamentalists. Now we're looking at the Islamic Emirate of 289 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: Afghanistan and to not completely prepare for logistically the extraction 290 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: of our fellow Americans and then get to the point 291 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: where all of it is now out of our control. Well, Hannity, 292 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: you just had on General bull Duck, a brigadier general, 293 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 1: and he just said he's saying that either the Taliban cooperates, 294 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: which is always a possibility, won't be because of anything 295 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: Joe Biden does or did, or even threatens. If they 296 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: decide to let the Americans makes a safe passage to 297 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: the Ahmed Karazani International Airport, then okay, this issue will 298 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: be resolved, but it's not in our control anymore. Joe 299 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: Biden gave up all leverage, all power, that he inherited 300 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,439 Speaker 1: every bit of it, and that is the tragedy, that 301 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: is this and takes no responsibility, claims it was inevitable, 302 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: and claims it was factored in. That is all a lie. 303 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: We had full, complete, total command and control over this situation, 304 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: but he gave it away. And then they're like surprised. Well, 305 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: you know, you got to see what was happening. It 306 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 1: wasn't hard to see. And that is that, you know, 307 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: Joe is telling us, you know, just a couple of 308 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 1: weeks ago. No, No No, this is one of the best 309 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: trade and militaries in the face of the planet, three 310 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: hundred thousand strong, and they even have an air force 311 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: and the Taliban only has seventy five thousand fighters. That's it, 312 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: is it? No, under no circumstances. Well, we see helicopters 313 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: on top of embassies rescuing people. You know, it's how 314 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: do you not see it? How do you not understand it? 315 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 1: You know, we know about the Taliban, We've known all 316 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: about them. It's madness, all out of our control at 317 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 1: this point. The situation then now, is therefore dire the 318 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: Taliban or brutal, evil terrorists. We've been showing you the pictures. 319 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: Last night. A woman murdered by the Taliban, but the 320 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: crime of not wearing a head covering. Another woman had 321 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: a guy eyes gouged out. We know all about the Taliban. Yeah, 322 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: she had a job as a police officer. Taliban fighters 323 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: caught off one woman's ears and nose after she attempted 324 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: to flee from her husband, who she was forced to 325 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: marry when she was only a child. Taliban just today 326 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 1: and yesterday fighters going door to door. They now enslaving 327 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: young women and forcing them and little girls to be 328 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 1: their sex slaves. And the interpreters former Afghani military personnel. 329 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,919 Speaker 1: Other families now being executed, some hung, some dismembered, some shots, 330 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: some beheaded, even opened fire. And a group of protesters 331 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 1: that flew the Afghan flank. You see that they've They're 332 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 1: not stupid, you know. Militarily you know they did they 333 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: did something. You know, if you want control and you 334 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: want power. They surrounded the perimeter Ofhammed Karzai International Airport, 335 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: and our own State department is saying, we advise you 336 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 1: now to begin to make your way to the airport, 337 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: but we cannot ensure your safety. How comforting. One Taliban 338 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 1: fighter pictured whipping people trying to get to the airport. 339 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 1: Man was kicked in the face, abducted on the back 340 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: of his pickup truck. It's happening to media people as well, 341 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 1: and not agree with their coverage, but they're Americans, and 342 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 1: I want them home safely so they can write how 343 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: horrible I am. I want our fellow Americans home. We 344 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: lost contact with people that we've been in touch with. Linda, 345 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: you saw Sarah Cardil last night breaking down on TV. 346 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: You know how often she was there. You were part 347 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: of all of this. Yeah, it's I mean, I think 348 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: the hardest part for all of us right now is just, 349 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: you know, no control, control, and also just the fact 350 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: that there's just it. It's this group of people who 351 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 1: are so concerned with the way things look as opposed 352 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 1: to the way things are, and that doesn't help anybody 353 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: who's trying to save themselves from what is actually happening 354 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: on the ground. I mean, we've got little kids and women, 355 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: and if you look at the people that are being evacuated, 356 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 1: it's not the little kids and women. It's not the 357 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,439 Speaker 1: American citizens. It's not the civilians. I don't know what 358 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: they're doing. They don't know what they're doing. But you know, 359 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: we'll get to the point. I know people have wanted 360 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: me to say that they all have to go, they 361 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 1: all have to be fired. They do Joe Biden is 362 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: not capable of being president. I actually thought watching the 363 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 1: Stephanopolo's interview, and I do agree. I want to see 364 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:47,439 Speaker 1: the unedited version. They need to release the entire video online. 365 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: I want to see the whole thing. There has been 366 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,920 Speaker 1: calls for that because I suspect that's the best they 367 00:21:54,960 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 1: got from Biden in terms of supporting him politically. Let's 368 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 1: get to our busy telephones here. Uh, let's say hi 369 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 1: to Lee Is in Florida.

He was dead on 379 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: and you need to keep playing that track over and 380 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: over and over.

I thought it was great last night too. 383 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:01,120 Speaker 1: Lara Logan has been great, Laura Trump. When we did 384 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,959 Speaker 1: a segment on what can Women Now Expect? Did you 385 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: see Lee the story? Did you see the video of 386 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:16,439 Speaker 1: women taking their children, their young babies, and and trying 387 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: to throw them over a barbed wired wall and fence 388 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: to British soldiers because that's the only hope for their 389 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: children they feel they have. Do you know what it 390 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: must take for a loving mother to do that? I 391 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't, I don't know. It's insane. And 392 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: one other thing I want to get to before before 393 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: I know you're very busy, but let me say this, 394 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:45,399 Speaker 1: and then one other thing. I'd like to see Pelosi 395 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 1: and all the women AOC and her squid squad get 396 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: on a plane, go over there, sit on with a 397 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: taliban and talk to them about women's rights. I want 398 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: to well, I think the silence and I appreciate the call. 399 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: Thank you the silence. You know, women's rights groups, where's 400 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: the me too movement. You know, where's there are they 401 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: using the Taliban using the proper pronouns movement which we 402 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: had been following for example of the military and wokeness, etc. 403 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 1: I'm not saying things aren't important in terms of respect, 404 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: but women are going to be oppressed. They're going to 405 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 1: be taken as sex slaves. Young girls will be married 406 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,160 Speaker 1: off to these Taliban fighters. If you want to call 407 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 1: it that, it's not. In my mind. It's called rape 408 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: and kidnapping. And no, we don't hear about that part. Sad, 409 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: so hypocritical. Michael, New York, Michael, glad you called hello, Sean. 410 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: My heart's troubled.

Five years ago. 412 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: We left the blood and guts and the Bryce patties, 413 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 1: only to leave a disgrace. This is just so outrageous. 414 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: This Afghanistan, this is so outrageous. And this Millie, he 415 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: uh disgraces the stores on his shoulder. This guy's got 416 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 1: to go, That's my point. I don't disagree. I can't 417 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 1: believe he said we're nowhere, dear that this was happening. 418 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 1: I'm like Okay, that's just unacceptable to me. It's unacceptable. 419 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: I'm a big fan. I love you. Keep up what 420 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 1: you're doing, baby, keep it up, Michael, thank you, appreciate 421 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: the call. Deborah Florida. Hei Deborah. How are you, Hi, Starren? 422 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: I'm great, How are you? I'm good? Thank you. My 423 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: question is I wanted where's our Republican leadership in the 424 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: House and in the Senate. Where are they? Where's their 425 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: collective outrage whom? Why are they not standing on the 426 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:01,880 Speaker 1: White House floor demanding answers and more importantly, actions being 427 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: taken to get our people out that. I want to 428 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,680 Speaker 1: be fair because I think the Republicans are weak and 429 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:11,439 Speaker 1: feckless and spineless and visionless. So I'm not disagreeing with 430 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 1: the premise of what you're saying. Uh. There have been 431 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: many that have been very outspoken, but it's not a 432 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 1: lot of it's not been covered in fairness to some 433 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: of them, um, but all of them know. Um the 434 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: fact that there listen, we've paid it, we've been paying 435 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,399 Speaker 1: attention to this a lot of there. There have been 436 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: even some Democrats saying the Intel is saying don't do this, 437 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: don't do this. They've been staunch, stern warnings to the 438 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 1: to the Biden White House, don't do it, and they 439 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: didn't listen. And now look behind those podiums. Yeah, look, 440 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 1: you know, and I would cover that more if I 441 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: thought it would help. I'm just I'm just trying to 442 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 1: figure out how in God's name do you know what 443 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 1: is the answer? How do we get every single person 444 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 1: out of there safely, every one of our fellow citizens, 445 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: And how do we get the people out that we 446 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: know we're going to be murdered there. They're known in 447 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: Afghanistan as having helped the US military and allied forces. 448 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 1: These people will die horrific desks. They will, They will 449 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 1: be tortured, they will be murdered. It will be probably 450 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 1: you'll see internet videos popping up here, there and everywhere. 451 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 1: I've watched those videos in the past. Ever watch it 452 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: be heading I have. It's that dark, it is that evil, 453 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 1: It is that insidious, and it is done sadly by 454 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 1: fanatics with abandoned That kind of evil exists in the world, 455 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: and this is the evil that is radical Islam, Fascism, Nazism, 456 00:27:55,040 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: Imperial Japan, Mao's China, Stalin's Russia. One hundred million souls 457 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: died in the last century alone wrote a whole book 458 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 1: about delivering us from evil. You know, the Lord's prayer 459 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. 460 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: Powerful words. If you believe it, I do. Amen, all right, 461 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 1: appreciate it, Deborah. We're praying for them. Fortunately, I wish 462 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: I had a better solution. Let's just just walk through 463 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: the walk through. What what options do our military have here? Now? 464 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,199 Speaker 1: I really did like Brigadier General Don Bullduck, who we 465 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: had on But he's saying, either we go in full 466 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: force again, well, there's no operational control whatsoever. And that 467 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: would then send the message that if you dare put 468 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: harm a single American, the price you pay is going 469 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: to be massive. Okay. I don't see that as an 470 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: option that anybody's considering in the administration, but I listened 471 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: to everybody views because nobody really has an answer at 472 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 1: this point any military presence. I just knowing the brutality 473 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: of the Taliban and what they're capable of and how 474 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 1: many lives are at stake, you know that then limits 475 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: almost eliminates a military option. And then we're back to 476 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: where I said we are, which is that every American 477 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 1: There is now there at the mercy of the Taliban 478 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: that the Biden administration is telling us has promised to 479 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: assist the safe passage to Karzai International Airport where we 480 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: started the shop. I don't have a lot of confidence 481 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: in that plan could happen. I hope it happens. It happens, 482 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: it won't be because of anything Joe Biden did. We'll 483 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 1: continue
