1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,759 Speaker 1: I had news rounds up information overload our Sean Hannity 2 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 1: Show eight hundred and nine for one, Shaun is he number, Dave, 3 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:10,400 Speaker 1: forty six Americans, their families, thousands of Green card holders, 4 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: people legally eligible to be in this country. And of 5 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: course our Afghan allies forty six days abandoned, and there's 6 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: no plan in place to try to rescue any of them. 7 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 1: Any private efforts of being met with fierce resistance, even 8 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: apparently according to one article I read an FBI investigation. 9 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,239 Speaker 1: Why I don't know. We're talking about the people that 10 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,200 Speaker 1: I know that are behind enemy lines trying to save Americans. 11 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: They're heroes like retired Navy seals and special opts retired, 12 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: They're trying to save our fellow Americans that Joe abandoned. 13 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: There's a particularly powerful moment yesterday with Senator Tom Cotton 14 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: of Arkansas asking General Milly why he has not resigned 15 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: over this disaster of a withdrawal. Let's play it, General Millie, 16 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: I can only conclude that your advice about staying in 17 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: Afghanistan always rejected. I'm shocked to learn that your advice 18 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 1: wasn't sought until August twenty fifth. On staying past the 19 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 1: August thirty one deadline. I understand that you're the principal 20 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: military advisor that you advise. You don't decide. The president decides. 21 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: But if all this is true, General Millie, why haven't 22 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 1: you resigned? As a senior military officer. Resigning is a 23 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 1: really serious thing. It's a political act. If I'm resigning 24 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: in protest. My job is to provide advice, my statutory responsibilities, 25 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: provide legal advice or best military advice to the president, 26 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: and that's my legal requirement. That's what the law is. 27 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 1: The president doesn't have to agree with that advice. He 28 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: doesn't have to make those decisions just because we're generals. 29 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: All right, that was from yesterday. And on top of 30 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: all of that, what else did we learn? We know 31 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: that the acting Defense secretary at the time, Miller, said 32 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: that he did not authorize Millie to make the China 33 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: calls and that he should resign. And then Millie yesterday 34 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: even admitting and going as far as saying, well, you'll 35 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: hear all the chatter, you'll you'll hear it all, and heck, 36 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: I'll call you myself if we're going to attack you. Okay, 37 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: That alone is a fireable offense anyway. Senator Tom Cotton 38 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: is with us from the great state of Arkansas. Senator, 39 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: great to have you. You are fantastic yesterday. I think 40 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 1: you and Josh Holly and Marsha Blackburn were some of 41 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: the heroes that came out of yesterday. Well, thank you, Sean. 42 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 1: I think it's clear after yesterday that Joe Biden lied 43 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: and Americans died as a result. And I got to say, Sean, 44 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: since it didn't happen in public, it wasn't just those 45 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: three generals yesterday. A couple of weeks ago, we also 46 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: heard testimony from General Scott Miller, who was our final 47 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: commander on the ground in Afghanistan. Scott Miller is a 48 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: legend in the special operations community. He commanded Delta Force, 49 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: he commanded Jay Sack. He has spent almost half of 50 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: the twenty years of war in Afghanistan on the ground 51 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 1: in Afghanistan. Scott Miller also testified that he recommended that 52 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: the President keep the President keep a small force in 53 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: Afghanistan to hold the status quo in place. So General Miller, 54 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: General McKenzie, General Millie, Secretary Austin all made identical or 55 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: almost identical recommendations, Joe Biden rejected them all. Now, back 56 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: in April and May, he was swaggering around Washington and 57 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: his senior age were telling everyone how Joe Biden had 58 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: stood up to the military and he didn't get rolled 59 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: the way Barack Obama did back in two thousand and nine. 60 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: And this is what happens when you get a wise, old, 61 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: experienced president like Joe Biden. But in August, when George 62 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: Stephanopolis asked him, after everything had already gone to hell 63 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: in a handbasket, he lied to the American people. He said, 64 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: no one told me that first I've ever heard of it. 65 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: Everyone agreed with me when he said he wouldn't abandon 66 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: Americans either, And that's exactly right. And let me point 67 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: out another thing that came to light yesterday from Secretary 68 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: Austin in General Millie. Joe Biden has repeatedly said, asked, 69 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: did some of those Democrats yesterday, Well, it was the 70 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: unanimous recommendation of the Joint Chiefs that we adhere to 71 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: the August thirty one deadline. They testified that the White 72 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: House didn't even seek their opinion until August twenty fifth. 73 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: Sean Cobble fell on August fifteenth. Don't you think that 74 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: those Joint chiefs, maybe in hole at least in part, 75 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: would have recommended something different if they had had that 76 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 1: question put to them on August fifteenth and not on 77 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: August twenty fifth, or maybe Sean, what if someone had 78 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: asked them the question a month earlier, when Joe Biden 79 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: was out saying that at his press conference that no 80 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: one envisions a rapid collapse of the governments or a 81 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,840 Speaker 1: collapse of cobble, when in fact, Scott Miller also testified 82 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: that as he was leaving Afghanistan, forced to leave earlier 83 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: that week by Joe Biden's withdrawal, that things would go 84 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 1: downhill very apidly, and we get very bad, very fast. 85 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: Repeatedly they testified, unfortunately, and they even testified Estrayean as 86 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: well as well, that the military began to lay out 87 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: evacuation plans as early as April and May, immediately after 88 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 1: Joe Biden made his faithful decision. Now, the military is 89 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 1: not responsible for non combatant evacuation operations. That decision rests 90 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: with the State Department, which is run by Joe Biden's 91 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: long time aide, Tony Blincoln. And we heard yesterday that 92 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: even when the military began to say, hey, guys, you know, 93 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: things are going downhill pretty badly here in July or 94 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: June or May, maybe we should start thinking about an evacuation, 95 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: they were repeatedly told by the State Department, the White 96 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: House no, So we had time to get all Americans 97 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 1: out and Green cardholders and their families and the vast majority, 98 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: the vast majority of the approved vetted special immigrant visa 99 00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: holders well before August, and they wouldn't do it because 100 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,919 Speaker 1: they didn't want Joe Biden's decision to look like the 101 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,679 Speaker 1: catastrophe that it became clear to the world in August. Senator, 102 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: I won't assume that you ever watched my TV show. 103 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: I hope you do. You're a great guest when you're on. 104 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: But I've made a very We built out a very 105 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 1: powerful map, and the map gives a timeline. And the 106 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: timeline is the Taliban on the March and how they 107 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: started in southern Afghanistan and how much territory, geographical areas 108 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: they were the provinces that they were taken over in March, 109 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: the month of March, in the month of April and 110 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 1: May and June and July and By July, it was 111 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: I think fifty to sixty percent of the country was 112 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: in control of the Taliban and they made their march 113 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 1: straight to Cobble. Now it was it became inevitable as 114 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: early as April that they were on the march. Now, 115 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: there were two things, two options available to the commander 116 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: in chief. One would have been to use successful drone 117 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: strikes to push them back and stopped their march to Kabble. 118 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: The second thing that they could have done you addressed, 119 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: and that is that they were told by the military 120 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: repeatedly and by the intelligence community, and my sources have confirmed, 121 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: numerous sources have confirmed the CIA pulled out seven weeks 122 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: prior to the fall of Kabble. That speaks volumes. I 123 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: am told we did not have any intelligence failure, and 124 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: there was no failure in military intelligence. Some people on 125 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: the ground, they knew the Afghan army that Joe was 126 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: bragging about as late as July as some of the 127 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: best trained, one of the best trained militaries in the world, 128 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: and they even have an air force. None of that 129 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: was true, because they were collapsing all the way, all 130 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: throughout the entire country, and the Taliban was rolling over 131 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: them with little to no effort. So there's no excuses there, No, 132 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: there's no excuse, Sean. And I can tell you because 133 00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: I sit on the Intelligence Committee and I see this 134 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: intelligence and I saw it throughout the course of the year. 135 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: There was not an intelligence failure about the Taliban's rapid 136 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: seizure of all thirty four provinces. Now did the intelligence 137 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: agency say it's going to happen on the morning of 138 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: August if saints to know? Of course they did, and 139 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: that's not the way intelligence works. But I can tell 140 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: you starting at the beginning of the year and through 141 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: July into August, the trend was highly, highly negative. Every 142 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: assessment that the intelligence community gave shortened the time frame 143 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: in which the Afghan government and the Afghan security forces 144 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,199 Speaker 1: could fight and stand up to the Taliban. And that 145 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: was manifestly clear in the first week of July when 146 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: Joe Biden went out at that press conference and said, 147 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: that is highly unlikely that you would see a rapid 148 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 1: collapse of the security forces or the Afghan government. So 149 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: if we would, if we picked say the presidential Delhi 150 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: briefings from April, May, June, and July and intelligence briefings 151 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: that were given to the President, and we were to 152 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 1: make them public. The message to the American people would 153 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: be very clear that they all did their job. They 154 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: made a proper assessment of what was happening on the ground. 155 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: That's why the CIA pulled their people out seven weeks earlier. 156 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: CI didn't leave for no reason. They left because they 157 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 1: saw it was coming and they were they were communicating that. 158 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: I've been assured by numerous sources that they were. There 159 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: was no ambiguity here. They were very clear in saying 160 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 1: what was going on on the ground. Now, the question 161 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: is why didn't Blincoln act? Why didn't the Defense Secretary act? 162 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: Why didn't the chairman of the Joint chief Joint chiefs act? 163 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: Why didn't they listen to somebody like General Scott Miller 164 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: who was on the ground for ten years there? And 165 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: the answer is, now, what do we do about the 166 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: Americans that they abandoned? What do we do now? Because 167 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: they say, they say, by the way that they have 168 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: all the leverage. I don't see that they have any leverage. Yeah, 169 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: there no leverage whatsoever. We don't even have an official 170 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: presence in Afghana. Now, all of that intelligence would reveal 171 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: that anyone paying attention to it, knew the situation was 172 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: deteriorating in Afghanistan rapidly, and that President Biden and Tony 173 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,839 Speaker 1: Blink hadn't taken no steps to try to stabilize the situation, 174 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: as he announced a withdrawal, as the withdrawal continued, as 175 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: they forced the closure of Bagram Air Base, and then 176 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: in the final days, and all those people who are there, 177 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 1: many of them Sean I can tell you, as you 178 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 1: probably know as well, they were in Afghanistan on August fifteenth, 179 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: in no small part because of Joe Biden's assurances. Many 180 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: of these people are Afghan Americans. They've long been citizens 181 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: in the United States, but they still have family there, 182 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: and they go visit their family in Afghanistan the same 183 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: reason that we go visit our family on the other 184 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: side of Arkansas, to introduce a new grandchild, or to 185 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: care for a sick parent, or to attend a family funeral. 186 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: And so many people who contacted my office last month said, well, 187 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: I had tickets to fly on on August twentieth, or 188 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: August twenty eighth, or September second, in part because our 189 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: government assure them that Cobble would still be in the 190 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: hands of the government, and the airport would be open 191 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 1: and commercial flights would be leaving. They made their plans 192 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 1: based on those assurances, and they're stuck there now because 193 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: of what Joe Biden says. And what is your best estimate? 194 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: Do we remember yesterday? I see came out in your 195 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: hearing that at one point there may be as many 196 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: as four thousand Americans there. I just don't know, but 197 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: we think it's less than a hundred. Now. I've heard 198 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: estimates from one hundred to three hundred to five hundred 199 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: if you include family members, well over a thousand. Do 200 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: you have any earthly idea how many people? How many 201 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: Americans we did abandon? We know that b Lincoln admitted 202 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 1: thousands of people with green cards. We know we left 203 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: a lot of our Afghan allies behind. Do you have 204 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: any earthly idea how many Americans we abandoned? Now? So 205 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: when you include the special immigrant visa approved and vetted 206 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: Afgans and their families, there's no question that's in the thousands. 207 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: I think it's got to be more than a hundred 208 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: right now, Sean. I mean, they've been saying a hundred 209 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: for several days. That just a few days ago we 210 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: had one of the private charter flights leave with more 211 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: than two hundred American citizens. How do you have more 212 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: than two hundred American citizens on a flight if they're 213 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: supposedly fewer than a hundred. Okay, now my next question, 214 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: why would the State Department say, if you have a 215 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: chartered flight, that's fine, but you're not allowed to land 216 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: in the United States of America. That was point one. 217 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 1: Point two is if you get a third party country 218 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: that will accept your charter aircraft and allow you to land, 219 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: that's fine. But if they do need our permission and 220 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: need our approval, it will not be forthcoming. Can you 221 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: explain that to me? I cannot explain it, Sean, And 222 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: I've heard stories like that on multiple occasions since our 223 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 1: presence ended on August thirtieth. You have generous philanthropists, you 224 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: have teams about battle buddies reuniting. Well, why is the 225 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: FBI investigating them? Did you read that? I did know. 226 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: You brought that to my attention yesterday, and we're trying 227 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 1: to get to the bottom of it. But to answer 228 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: the first question is that I think the State Department 229 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,839 Speaker 1: in the White House they don't want to be embarrassed 230 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 1: and proven liars once again by allowing charters with hundreds 231 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: of American citizens come out. Rather than admit your mistake 232 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: and be grateful that there are people that step up 233 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: to fix the mess you created. Their egos too involved 234 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: in this, and they'd rather Americans stay caught behind enemy 235 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: lines with terrorists rather than giving credit to other people 236 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 1: for doing the job they should have done. Is that it, 237 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: and that's it. And trust that their friends in the 238 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: media will turn the page and start focusing on how 239 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: they're about to spend six trillion dollars to transform America, 240 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: and then all this business about Afghanistan will soon be 241 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: gone and forgotten. All right, quick break more with Arkansas 242 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: Senator Tom Cotton on the other side. Eight hundred and 243 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 1: nine four one seaun our number. We'll get to your 244 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: calls at the bottom of those half hour. As we 245 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 1: continue with Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton is with us. Last question, 246 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: is this idiotic you know, three point five trillion dollar 247 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 1: debacle New Green Deal going to pass in the Senate. 248 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: I'd say that the Democrats, this racion that I don't 249 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,079 Speaker 1: want to conceive that they were ever in a ray. 250 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 1: The reason why they're not finding the votes for it 251 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: in the House or the Senate right now is they've 252 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: begun to see the riding on the wall that that 253 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: bill is massively unpopular. What do they expect with the 254 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: largest tax hik in history and trying to implement the 255 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: Green New Deal and get a Republicans stay firm and 256 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: not raise the debt ceiling. That's my question. There's zero 257 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: chance that Republicans supply the votes Democrats to raise the debt. 258 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: Even Romney, even Lisa Murkowski, they've all stated that as well. 259 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 1: If the Democrats want to spend seven trillion dollars, then 260 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: on a party line basis, then the Democrats can raise 261 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: the debt ceiling to accommodate that spending on a party 262 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: all by themselves. They don't need one Republican. Okay, So 263 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: you've been remarkable, and I need to point out to 264 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: to this audience that I know for a fact your 265 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: office has been responsible and helping to evacuate our fellow 266 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: Americans without any help from the Biden administration or the 267 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: State Department or anybody. And I know you're still working 268 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: on rescuing Americans that are trapped behind enemy lines. And 269 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: I thank you for your efforts. Thank you eight hundred 270 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: and nine four one, Shaun is our number. We'll continue. 271 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: I had twenty five down to the top of the hour, 272 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: eight hundred and nine four one, Shawn, if you want 273 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: to be a part of the program. Althea is in 274 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: the great state of South Carolina. Althea. How are you 275 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: glad you called? Hi? Sean? Thank you for taking my call. Um. 276 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: I appreciate all that you do and thank you for 277 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: being a voice of reason. Um. I'm wanted to say 278 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: if I lied on my job like these lifelong Democrats 279 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: and Biden does, I wouldn't have a job. Um. You know, 280 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: I truly think it's time for some resignations, and I 281 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: think our country needs to stand up and say Biden 282 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: step down. You know, look, it's the guy's not up 283 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: to the job. How else can I say it? Now? 284 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: These are the consequences when you when America, you know 285 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: it gets all freaked out over mean tweets of Donald Trump. 286 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: These are the consequences, you know, a Lincoln project. I 287 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: hope you're happy. John Bolton is now saying the Telebank 288 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: you can get nuclear weapons. Okay, John, you know you're 289 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: begging me to put in a good word for you. 290 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: As if I had any sway whatsoever, anyway you get hired. 291 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 1: You told me personally that you you supported Trump's foreign policy, 292 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: you wouldn't have your own agenda. Are you happy? You know, 293 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: you used to be one of the biggest hawks of 294 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: all time. Okay, maybe you didn't like Donald Trump's style, 295 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: maybe it's too aggressive on Twitter. Okay, how do you 296 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: like his policies versus these policies? Now the world can 297 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: see what a weak, frail, cognitive mess. You know what 298 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: what it means to the entire world, and how we 299 00:16:55,760 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: will all suffer as a country by having a weak president. 300 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,360 Speaker 1: This is a guy that is weak and radical, and 301 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: this is a guy that is given in to the 302 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 1: most radical wing of the Democratic Party, which now dominates 303 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. This is not Joe Lieberman's party anymore. 304 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:22,439 Speaker 1: This is not Scoop Jackson's party anymore. We're talking about 305 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: more money than FDR's New Deal and the Great Society 306 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 1: of LBJ combined. We can't afford it. It's being money 307 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 1: thrown down the tubes. I mean, if you just go 308 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: through the shortlist of you know, supporting illegal immigrants, everything 309 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: from the New Green Deal, everything from the Bernie Biden manifesto. 310 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: Now a mileage tax, people aren't paying a lot. You know, 311 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 1: of attention to that. Then you look at now we 312 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 1: have the highest cost for a barrel of oil in 313 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: years and years. Natural gas prices are going through the roof. 314 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 1: We have more natural resources and all of these countries 315 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: combine and we're artificially reducing the world supply, which automatically 316 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: raises prices, which is an automatic tax on the American people. 317 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 1: Then they have the goal to tell you, well, if 318 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,719 Speaker 1: you don't make four hundred thousand dollars a year, you 319 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: won't pay an extra penny. That is a lie too 320 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 1: corporations when they raise their taxes, you're gonna pay more 321 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,199 Speaker 1: by artificially reducing the supply of oil. It's a simple 322 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: formula economics, one on one supply and demand crisscross that 323 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: will dictate the price. When you artificially reduce the supply, 324 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,439 Speaker 1: which is America energy independence, then the net result is 325 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,479 Speaker 1: higher prices. More to fill your car, more for trucks 326 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: to put diesel in it. You'll pay more for heating 327 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: and cooling your home, and you're gonna pay more for 328 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: every product and service that you buy. And this idea 329 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: that's outrageous that corporations would pass the cost on to consumers. 330 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: That's what Jen Psaki said. Jen Psaki doesn't have a 331 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: clue about economics. One oh one men. She's a paid propagandist. 332 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't really feel too optimistic Arkansas, 333 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: Stephanie Next Sean Hannity show. Privilege it is to be 334 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,640 Speaker 1: on your show. If you thanks for taking my call. 335 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: Thank you. I wanted to talk to you about um. 336 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,199 Speaker 1: You know, it drives me crazy to listen to Joe Biden. 337 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 1: Every time I do by by, blood pressure goes up. 338 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 1: But I happened to catch him talking about the mounted 339 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: patrol on the border and kind of kind of accusing them, 340 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 1: I mean, trying them in the court of public opinion 341 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: before any investigation has started. The statement that he said 342 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: that they were strapping the Haitian people and that he 343 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: promised that those people will pay. I feel like I'm 344 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: taking crazy pill shaw And sometimes it's crazy to think 345 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: that your city that we used to be the greatest 346 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: city in the world, New York City used to be, 347 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 1: and you could agree used to be the greatest city 348 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: in the world, has had mounted patrol since nineteen fifty eight. 349 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 1: Friends of mine that we're on the mount of Patrol unit, 350 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: and friends of mine, they would I'd almost see them, 351 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: like on a weekly basis when I actually did the 352 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: show from New York City. I don't do the show 353 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,679 Speaker 1: from New York City anymore, very rarely. By the way, 354 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: you want to know why I am a walking you know, 355 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: target in New York City. You think it's safe for 356 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: me to be walking down the streets in New York 357 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: like it was prior to you know where the country 358 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,679 Speaker 1: is now. I used to walk the streets of the 359 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: city every single day. I won't. Won't they're do it today. 360 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: That's how sad New York is. Well, we're waiting for 361 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 1: you to come south. We're waiting for you to call 362 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: the rush. I'm coming, I swear, I promise, you know, 363 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 1: and maybe on my deathbed, but I'm coming. I promise, 364 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: I'm coming. It's ridiculous to think that these men put 365 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: their lives on the line every day and that our 366 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: president is saying they're going to pay it is absolutely ridiculous. 367 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: And doing the job that they do is of course, 368 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 1: we know the covid rate there is ridiculous. But they 369 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: do it every day, and they don't ask for fanfare, 370 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 1: They don't ask for everything that's going on. But to 371 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: say that our president that they will pay makes me sick. 372 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,199 Speaker 1: Makes me sick. Do you take responsibility for the chaos 373 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: that's unholding? Of course I take responsibility and president. But 374 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 1: it was horrible what to see as you saw, to 375 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: see people treat it like they did, horses very running 376 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: over people being strapped. It's outrageous. I promise you those 377 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: people will pay. They will be an investigation underway now, 378 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: and there will be consequences. There will be consequences. It's 379 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: an embarrassment, but it's beyond an embarrassment. It's dangerous. It's wrong. 380 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: It sends the wrong message around the world or sends 381 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,679 Speaker 1: the wrong message at home. It's simply not who we are. 382 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: They will pay. But then they came out and lied again, 383 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 1: and they said, oh, well, we weren't prejudging this. We 384 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: were that was not a rush to judgment. I'm like, okay, 385 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 1: how stupid do you think we are? This is lie 386 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: with abandoned. Well, we don't need to COVID test them 387 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 1: because if we COVID test them, um, you know they're 388 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 1: only going to be here a short while anyway. Meanwhile, 389 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: Mayorcas is now admitting that as high as twenty percent 390 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: of illegal immigrants coming into the country of COVID. I'm like, grants, 391 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 1: they were super spreader for you. Yeah. I have friends 392 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 1: at Del Rio and their lives are miserable now, you know, 393 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: they can't do anything without without you know, being overrun 394 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: and their city is being destroyed. And these are American 395 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 1: citizens and the you know, what are we paying taxes for? 396 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,880 Speaker 1: I don't I don't quite get any of this. It's 397 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: like we're living in a different country now. It's it's 398 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: not the America that I remember. I don't remember in 399 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: America that I would abandon our fellow citizens. I don't 400 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: remember America and America where you know, we're going to 401 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 1: give a cradle to grave, womb to the tomb, socialist 402 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 1: society because Americans knew inherently that capitalism, liberty, and freedom 403 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: and opportunity proved to be the greatest wealth generator in 404 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: the history of mankind. I don't remember an America where 405 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 1: you know, you have one party that is openly welcoming, 406 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 1: you know, illegal immigrants to come into the country. There, 407 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: you know, I went through the list of countries that 408 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 1: sell citizenship. It's it's something of great value and great worth. 409 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 1: I'm pro immigration, legal immigration, respect our laws, borders, sovereignty. Simple. 410 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: I don't care where you come from. I don't care 411 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: what continent you're from. I don't care what country you're from. 412 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: Do it legally. We need a background check, we need 413 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: a health check, and we need to know you can 414 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 1: provide for yourself financially and not be a burden on 415 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: the American people. Then once we do all that and 416 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,880 Speaker 1: you do go through the process legally, welcome to America. 417 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:03,160 Speaker 1: We're glad you here, but not until then. Thank you, Sean. 418 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 1: I hear a voice of reason in the course. But 419 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: why did Democrats want to sneak amnesty in the Reconciliation Bill? 420 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: Because you know what what Cypress would charge two and 421 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: a half million dollars for. I can become a citizen 422 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: of Cypress. Did you know that you can too? You 423 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 1: can become a city, a citizen of Antigua. You can 424 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: become a citizen of Belize and Saint Kitts and Neivas 425 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 1: and Australia and New Zealand. Some of these countries cost 426 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: millions of millions of dollars to become citizens you can 427 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: pay for it. It's something of hiding value. America, we 428 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,640 Speaker 1: don't charge for citizenship. Maybe we should consider it. Apparently 429 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: these other countries are making a fortune. If you make 430 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: an investment into this, this, and this, or if you're 431 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: willing to build your business in their country, you can 432 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 1: you can get citizenship. And America we let people in 433 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:55,199 Speaker 1: for free. Okay, I'm just asking that people do it legally. 434 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 1: You know, maybe we should get in the business of 435 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: selling citizenship. It's working out for every other country. But 436 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: then Democrats are offering amnesty that that becomes something of 437 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: Can you even put a quantifiable number on it? If 438 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,679 Speaker 1: it costs you know, you know, millions of dollars to 439 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: get into New Zealand, Australia, Cyprus, Turkey and these other countries. 440 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 1: How much would a citizenship passport cost somebody from another 441 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 1: country if they were going to pay for it because 442 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: they want to be Americans. I bet we'd make a 443 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,160 Speaker 1: lot of money. These other countries are making a lot 444 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: of money. Democrats then say here, we're the good people. 445 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: Don't go with those bad Republican people. They don't want 446 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: you here. No, I don't care where you come from. 447 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 1: Just do it legally, but they're going to offer it 448 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: for free. Oh, they're not hoping that these that when 449 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 1: they give somebody something of great value, that's that there's 450 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: not going to be a quit and a pro and 451 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: a quo like Joe is used to his whole life. 452 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 1: So you know, there's no rational reason while in the 453 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 1: middle of a pandemic you put burdens of COVID testing, 454 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 1: vaccine mandates on the American people, and then you just 455 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 1: lie and tell the American people, well, they're not going 456 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: to be here very long, when we know that all 457 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: they're doing is requesting illegal immigrants show up in court 458 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,239 Speaker 1: then and even mandating they show up in court, and 459 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: then they're trying to sneak in amnesty provisions. Oh it 460 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: sounds to me like they're basically offering people something of 461 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:28,160 Speaker 1: great value for free. And why would they do that. 462 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think everything's political in their minds. 463 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: SAD eight hundred and nine four one. Sean, you want 464 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,160 Speaker 1: to be a part of the program, George in Texas? Hey, George, 465 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:42,160 Speaker 1: how you doing? Sean McCall love your shows. First time 466 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: I were called into a talk show, but I retire. 467 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 1: I'm anna retire Uston Police sergeant and I had an 468 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:56,360 Speaker 1: opportunity to go to Afghanistan for two years between two 469 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: thousand and nine and two thousand and twelve. Actually wore 470 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 1: the army uniform, went on missions with him, went outside 471 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: the wire. We were primarily tasked with the disruption of 472 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 1: the ID networks, but we ended up doing a lot 473 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: of corruption investigations on Afghan army generals, Afghan police chiefs, politicians, 474 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 1: which was outside the realm of our responsibility. But after 475 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: just being an afghanistandard for a couple of months, I 476 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 1: realized that we were just wasting our time. The country 477 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,919 Speaker 1: was so corrupt they never were going to stand a 478 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: chance of standing on their own. And the lowliest army 479 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:44,640 Speaker 1: private in the army could tell you that the Afghan 480 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,479 Speaker 1: Army was never going to be able to stand up 481 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 1: to that Taliban, that as soon as we left, it 482 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: would go right back the way it was before. And 483 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: I'll give you an example. We went on to kl 484 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: which is a key leader engagement, went in the little village, 485 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 1: sat down with the villagers. The uh, the senior guy 486 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 1: there in the village. We were talking to him. He goes, hey, 487 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,119 Speaker 1: look I think it's great what you're doing here. We 488 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,360 Speaker 1: like the water well that you built us. We liked 489 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: the generator, we liked the food in the medicine and 490 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: the little self tower, and we really appreciate that. But 491 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: when you're gone, and you will leave, the Taliban are 492 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,639 Speaker 1: still going to be here. So they were heading their beds. 493 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: They knew there was a way to do this. By 494 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: the way, there really was a way to do it, 495 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 1: and and the way to do it was the way 496 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: Trump planned it, and that is it had to first 497 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: be predicated on a real credible threat of obliteration, and 498 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: and Trump, you know what, they believed Trump, and they 499 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 1: they knew you'd do it because he did it. He 500 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: crushed the caliphate that Joe Biden and Barack Obama let build. 501 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: You know, he crushed solo money and that took a 502 00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 1: lot of nerve to pull that sucker off. And I 503 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: know the inside story of it because of my sources, 504 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: and it's an amazing story. I hope it gets told 505 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: one day. I wasn't I'm sorry, but I wasn't surprised 506 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: that the Taliban took over. I was surprised. I was 507 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: surprised to speed that he did it. Is now. I 508 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: mean all of this was predictable. I mean we saw 509 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: it unfolding months and months right before our eyes. There 510 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 1: was no surprises here. It wasn't one surprise, No surprises, 511 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: no surprises. All right, my friend, I gotta let your roll. 512 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 1: Appreciate your checking in with us, George, thank you for 513 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: your service as a policeman, and thank you for your 514 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: service in Afghanistan. We appreciate it. We never were going 515 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: to change their way of life. However, we could have 516 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: protected it enough that it wouldn't become the safe haven 517 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: for the next plotting, planning, and scheming attack against America.
