The Taliban is 7 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,280 Speaker 1: taunting us with mock funerals in the streets of coast 8 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: and Kandahar.

Past 31 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: performance not a guarantee of future earnings. We are out 32 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: of Afghanistan. They did this ahead of the deadline. They 33 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: didn't even wait, I guess you could say on Afghan time, 34 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: because they're nine ten hours ahead something like that. They 35 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: decided to move in advance of the US based timeline deadline. 36 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: And there are some very notable things we have to 37 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: say right away. One is they did leave Americans behind. 38 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: They did leave over a hundred US citizens on the 39 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: ground So remember when Joe Biden promised promised that they 40 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: would not leave, they would not leave without making sure 41 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: every American was out. Well, that was a lie, that 42 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: was not true. And there's a lot here that we 43 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: can do to analyze the situation. We can talk about, 44 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: for example, did the Taliban really offer to give the 45 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: US full control over Cobble and to manage the whole evacuation, 46 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: including security for the whole city? Their reports about that? 47 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: Did the United States decide that they were going to 48 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: pull out even though they knew there were Americans who 49 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: were actively trying to get to the airport. We keep 50 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: hearing about people who want to leave, So were there 51 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: people who wanted to leave who could not get out. Well, 52 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: I understand where your head is and where mine is 53 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: on this one. We have to get ready, though, for 54 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: what the other side is going to do and say. 55 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: But first, here is General Kenneth McKenzie, and here's what 56 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: he says about this departure Place six. Look, there's a 57 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: lot of hard break associated with this departure. We did 58 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: not get everybody out that we wanted to get out, 59 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: But I think if would stayed another ten days, Louis, 60 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: we wouldn't have gotten everybody out there we wanted to 61 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: get out, and there still would have been people who 62 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: would have been disappointed with that. It's a tough situation. 63 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: But I want to emphasize again that simply because we 64 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: have left, that doesn't mean the opportunities for both Americans 65 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: that are in Afghanistan that want to leave Afghans who 66 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: want to leave, they will not be denied that opportunity. 67 00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: I think our Department of State is going to work 68 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: that very hard in the days and weeks ahead. So 69 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: they're going to be negotiating with the Taliban for the 70 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: departure of Americans who were left behind with our very 71 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: hasty deadline here. Now, I understand it was a twenty 72 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: year long war, but you would think that they could 73 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: have extended this out a few days to get the 74 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 1: Americans out, and to do so with some semblance of 75 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 1: American security and projection a force on the ground. Now 76 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: it's going to be okay, Taliban, please let our guys 77 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: get through to the airport. Please let them get on 78 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: those planes. Don't kidnap them, don't murder them or mutilate them. 79 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 1: Let our Americans through. We're also going to be negotiating 80 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: over some Afghan SIVs, these special immigrant visas that were 81 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: left behind because they didn't have exactly the right paperwork. 82 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: I had friends that were trying to coordinate behind the 83 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: scenes to get certain Afghans out who should have been 84 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: able to get out based upon the promises made to 85 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: them by the United States, but they were unable to 86 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 1: because of some issue in their paperwork, or maybe it 87 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,239 Speaker 1: was just they couldn't get safely to the very front 88 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: of the crowds at Kabul Airport. Remember, the Taliban has 89 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: actually been in charge of security during this whole process 90 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 1: because they have the outer ring, so you couldn't actually 91 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: get to Kabul Airport unless the Taliban lets you, and 92 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: now they control everything. You've seen the photo of the 93 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: last American soldier getting on a transport plane to get 94 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: out of Afghanistan. You've seen the photos of Taliban fighters 95 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,119 Speaker 1: decked out at American gear head to toe walking into 96 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: a giant hangar with Chinook helicopters still in place. And yes, 97 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: the billions and billions of dollars we spent equipping and 98 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: training the Afghan national security forces that has fallen directly 99 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: into Taliban hand. So they walk around now, dressed in 100 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: brand new American gear courtesy of Uncle Sam. Taliban fighters 101 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: look like they actually are ready for the fight. And 102 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: John Kirby was on MSNBC. You know this is the 103 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: guy who's the Pentagon spokesman. He was asked by Morning Joe, 104 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 1: how does it feel to play so much faith in 105 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: the Taliban? And you have had to do that this 106 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: whole time, Play one. There's nothing about faith here, Willie, 107 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 1: nothing at all. It's not about trust. We developed a 108 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: pragmatic relationship that we had to do over the last 109 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: couple of weeks to help get people safely to the 110 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: airport and get them out of there. And it worked. 111 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: But believe me, nobody's resting on laurels here, and nobody's 112 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: just going to take it at face value what the 113 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: Talibans say. We're going to hold them accountable for their actions, 114 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 1: not just their words, their actions, and again we have 115 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: tools available to us across the range of our government 116 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: to do that. We'll see about that. They have had 117 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 1: to put a tremendous amount of faith in the Taliban, 118 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: that much is clear. Maybe they don't trust them, but 119 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 1: they have to ask them to do things kind of 120 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: begged them Really, it's embarrassing, isn't it the United States 121 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: to be dealing with this medieval cult, medieval cult that 122 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: treats women brutally and children. This was the actual question 123 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: posed to him. Is the Taliban different now? Will you 124 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: probably saw if you were on the internet yesterday and 125 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: on social media, the Taliban hanging somebody from one of 126 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: our six million dollars US Blackhawk helicopters flying that person 127 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: around cobble. I mean, this is a group that has 128 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: led by men of savage mindset who embrace a fundamentalist 129 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: brutality that has not gone away. Now in the short term, 130 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: they perhaps, and this is true, recognize that some of 131 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: their interests are served by not going as crazy as 132 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: they possible. Lee Kennor would want to. But how long 133 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: will that last? And what are we going to do 134 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: about the Americans left behind? Here's John Kirby on MSNBC 135 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: again asked about the Afghans who have been left. Remember 136 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: the Afghans that the United States government promised, we will 137 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: get you out do this for us, We will get 138 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: you out. And I understand right now there are people 139 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: who say, oh, but we're taking in so many Afghans? 140 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: Have they all been properly vetted. They all do need 141 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: to be properly vetted, and there needs to be procedure 142 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: in place to make sure that we don't have infiltrations 143 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: of any ISIS sympathizers. And I think those are all 144 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: very fair points. I stand with that notion. But I 145 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: also believe that when you shake a man's hand, whether 146 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: it's you're an individual or the government of the United 147 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: States of America, and you say, this is my word, 148 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: this is my bond, here is the contract you keep 149 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: that this is a point of honor. If we are 150 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: an honorable people, our government keeps its word to those 151 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: who help in conflict zones around the world. So what 152 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: do we do about those Afghans who were left behind? 153 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: Who were I'm not talking about Afghans who just want 154 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: to get out because they don't like the Taliban. I'm 155 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: talking about those who we made a deal with. All Right, 156 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: We're not supposed to double cross people. We're America. I 157 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: know that we're not perfect, and our government, as we've 158 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: seen very clearly, is somewhat run by buffoons. But what 159 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: do we do about the Afghans left behind? Here's John 160 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,959 Speaker 1: Kirby play too. I would tell them Willie that they 161 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: still have that commitment. We thank them for their service, 162 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: We're grateful for what they did, and we moved out 163 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,719 Speaker 1: an incredible number in a span of two weeks, one 164 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty three thousand, the vast majority of which 165 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 1: we're Afghans, Afghan Allies, people like them who helped us. 166 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: As General Mackenzie said yesterday, we're heartbroken that we couldn't 167 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: get everybody out, but they still have our commitment. They 168 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: still have the commitment of this administration and the United States, 169 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: and we're going to do everything we can to continued 170 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 1: to try to get them out of that country and 171 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: out safely. What is that commitment really worth? What does 172 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 1: that commitment mean? What does it do? I think if 173 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,679 Speaker 1: you ask some of the terrified Afghans who are hiding 174 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: right now and hoping they don't receive these night letters 175 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,079 Speaker 1: that have been put on doors in Cobblin, I'm sure 176 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: in places all over Afghanistan saying we know who you are, 177 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: We're coming for you. I'm not sure Kirby saying that 178 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: we are committed to them really does very much at all. 179 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: But this is what we're left with. This is where 180 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: we are. There are many questions that remain. Among them, 181 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: is this going to become a terror safe haven and 182 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: what will that look like? What will that mean for 183 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: the rest of the world. Now, I've been hearing this 184 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: phrase Saudi Arabia without the oil as in the Taliban war, 185 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 1: a strict fundamentalist Islamic regime, But of course they don't 186 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: have the enormous financial resources that come from oil reserves. 187 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: They will be selling a whole lot of opium, but 188 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: even that is not on the same scale as what 189 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: you get in the Saudi oil fields. So that will 190 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: mean there's a different level of force projection and ideological 191 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: projection all over the world, even if the Afghan Taliban 192 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: goes all in on Jihadis philosophy. But what about these 193 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: ISIS fighters who are in this splinter faction, if you will, 194 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: are this other entity operating inside of Afghanistan right now? 195 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: How many of them are there? What is their strength? 196 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: Here's General Mackenzie again talent talking about that play five. 197 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: They remain a very lethal force, and I think we 198 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: would assess that probably they're at least two thousand hardcore 199 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: ISIS fighters in Afghanistan now, and of course many of 200 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: those come from the prisons that were there were opened 201 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,959 Speaker 1: a few days ago, so that number is up and 202 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: as probably as high as it's ever been in quite 203 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: a while. Two thousand hardcore ISIS fighters. I mean, the 204 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,319 Speaker 1: Taliban opened up the prisons and let out the worst 205 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: of the worst. So you can imagine what that's going 206 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 1: to do to this society. And there's so many ways 207 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: this could play out. You could even have a circumstance 208 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: where right now, maybe the Taliban leadership is pragmatic in 209 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: its approach to things. Now, pragmatism doesn't mean that they're 210 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 1: good guys, obviously, it just means it's in their interest 211 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: right now, you know, this is this starts to be like, well, 212 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: you know, we fought against the Nazis and we allied 213 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: with the Soviets to do so. The Soviets were really bad. 214 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: Stalin's regime was really awful and evil and wanted to 215 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: destroy us too. But sometimes work with you know, the 216 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: enemy of your enemy as your friends, as the mantra, 217 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,559 Speaker 1: and you forget about the fact that they're still your enemy. 218 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: And I think that we may see that playing out 219 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 1: with ISIS fighters in Afghanistan. I'm not sure yet how 220 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: this will go and remember that all the projections you see, 221 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,439 Speaker 1: all the claims out there about what's going to happen, 222 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: are coming from an intelligence and national security apparatus that 223 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 1: has been humiliated, I mean humiliated by the fall of 224 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: the Afghan national security forces that they apparently could not 225 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: see coming at all, had no idea. How is that possible? Well, 226 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: apparently it is because it just happened. We saw it happen. 227 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: So remember that as you hear people prognosticating on the 228 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,319 Speaker 1: future of Afghanistan, but our twenty year war there is over. 229 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: It's done, and there's going to be a lot of 230 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: soul ching, a lot of after action report and analysis 231 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 1: about what was achieved, what wasn't achieved, How do we 232 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: get drawn in for so long? What did we miss? 233 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: And as importantly as anything else, perhaps most importantly, how 234 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: does the lesson of Afghanistan affect us going forward? How 235 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: does this whole process of twenty years in this country 236 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: as a nation? What does it tell us about our future? 237 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: I mean, I will say that I believe it means 238 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: nation building, especially in cultures or in countries with cultures 239 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: that are very different from our own, not a mission 240 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: set that we take on never again, not doing that again, 241 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: mission creep and the sense that you can drift into 242 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: a longer and larger obligation than you initially set out 243 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: to when it comes to military force and all the 244 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: reconstruction efforts and democracy promotion or all that not our job, 245 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: not our mission. We can help others who want to 246 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: do it for themselves, we cannot do it for them. 247 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: In many ways, I think that's one of the biggest 248 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: lessons of Afghanistan. We had our brilliant, brave soldiers out 249 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: there trying to hold together a country that just didn't 250 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: have the cultural, political, social cohesion to stay together itself. 251 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: And we couldn't hold it together for them, and we 252 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: couldn't do the fighting and the logistics and the things 253 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: that we had been forever for them. And so this 254 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: is where we are. Let's talk in a second here 255 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: about how is this going to be spun. What is 256 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: the pr from the Biden team, from the Democrat news 257 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: industrial complex going to be about this situation. I will 258 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: come into that in a moment, But I know my 259 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: Lindell Well, he's the inventor of my pillow and his 260 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: team is incredible.

I mean, if you're looking for the 291 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:48,199 Speaker 1: height of stupidity. Mazie Horrono, the senator from Hawaii. As 292 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 1: I've said, Hawaii such an amazing place. Such bad politicians 293 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 1: and politics come out of Hawaii. I love Hawaii, I 294 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: love Hawaiians, I love the people who live there. But 295 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 1: Mazie Horrono, it's just democrat enclave. Anyway, here is the 296 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 1: senator on how it's Trump's fault. Of course, Play seven. 297 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: There are a lot of Afghans who were applying for 298 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: these special immigrant visas, and the Trump administration still walk 299 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 1: these visas to the point where it was not even happening, 300 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:25,120 Speaker 1: and so the development of a lot of our Afghan 301 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: partners in their families who are not able to get 302 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 1: out is not something that just happened overnight that this is. 303 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 1: This is a situation that was very much on in 304 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: my view, the Trump administration. But we're going to move 305 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: forward and do everything we can to get all of 306 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,719 Speaker 1: these people out in the coming months. Ah for the 307 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: true it's the Trump administration, you see. Now, this is 308 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: what I want to tell you right now, So you 309 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 1: prepare for that, because that's just they'll try that. I 310 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: don't think that's really going to work. Blaming Trump. It's 311 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,919 Speaker 1: it's weak. It's a little bit when they said, you 312 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: remember when Trump had a roaring economy, well, for three 313 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 1: years the only thing that stopped the roaring economy was COVID, 314 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: which had nothing to do with Trump, as we know. 315 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 1: But for three years we had this was booming economy. 316 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: But the first two years of it, we kept hearing 317 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: about the oh, it's the Obama economy. It's the Obama economy. 318 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: That's so it's not Trump. And this was this was 319 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: just weak sauce. This was JV kind of stuff. Oh yeah, 320 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 1: it's it's the it's the Obama Trump's running the show. Now. 321 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: Trump has put his people into place, and eighteen months in, 322 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: twenty four months in we're gonna say it's Obama. That's 323 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 1: the reason the economy is so good. It was laughable, right, 324 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 1: I mean, they were gonna be Trump was running for 325 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: reelection after his first term. Oh, it's the Obama economy. 326 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: I mean, this is the kind of stuff that they 327 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: said no one really believed that, no one really believed it. 328 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: But on this Afghanistan situation, get ready for it. Give 329 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: it about a week, maybe less, and the Democrat corporate 330 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: media will be talking about Biden's genius in ending the 331 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: war and the amazing improvisation his team showed under pressure. 332 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: And they will look at anyone who questions this Soviet 333 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 1: style rewriting of recent history like they're the crazy one. 334 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: I know that you must be thinking, come on, that's 335 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: not they can't, no, buck, come on, no, yes, yes, 336 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 1: all of the debacle, the losses that we suffered here 337 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: of prestige, all of it that will I mean the 338 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,959 Speaker 1: only part of this that the Biden administration isn't going 339 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: to be able to completely whitewash is, of course, the 340 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: loss of our thirteen brave American service members. That's the 341 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 1: part of this that is going to endure. But other 342 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: than that, it's it's all going to be. And they'll say, oh, 343 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,160 Speaker 1: you know, nothing is perfect. It was a chaotic situation, 344 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: but we made the right move. I'm telling you what 345 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: feels right now, like the by administration is everyone was 346 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 1: agreeing a week ago, what a disaster this is. Give it, 347 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: give it a few days, maybe a few weeks. They'll 348 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,360 Speaker 1: be saying, you know, Joe actually did a prett damn 349 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: good eye to be a pretty good job. Joe actually 350 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: got it done. Yeah, he's a really strategic genius. Actually, 351 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: oh no, he's fantastic. I know you hear this and 352 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: you're like me and you want to throw things. But 353 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: they're already getting this ready. They're already preparing this narrative 354 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: for the future. I mean, here's Clara McCaskill, for example, 355 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 1: on the White House deadline that now has been enforced. 356 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,120 Speaker 1: Here you go play play three. What you really need 357 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: to realize is the speed with which the Taliban took 358 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: over validates Joe Biden's decision because our mission had failed. 359 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: Now was the deal that the Trump did ridiculous? Yes? 360 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: Was he asking the Taliban to Camp David and acting, 361 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: and so they were valid state actors. Yes, all of 362 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 1: that was bad, but the bottom line is, no matter 363 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: when we pulled out, it was going to be messy. 364 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: No matter when we pulled out, there were going to 365 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: be throngs of people gathered at the departure point, and 366 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: our military were been called on to protect them, which 367 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 1: makes them sitting duck for these terrorists. See, it was 368 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: always going to be bad. Joe Biden gets credit for 369 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 1: being brave. Forget about the fact that this whole thing 370 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: collapsed in what felt like minutes. Forget about the fact 371 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: that we left Americans behind. Forget about the fact, yes Democrats, 372 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: that we took casualties over there. They're going to try 373 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: to memory hole all of this. Joe Biden made the 374 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 1: right call, a gut seat call. Even I know you 375 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: hear this and your blood boils. I feel the same way. 376 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 1: But if you think that there's going to be some 377 00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 1: massive surge of accountability for Biden being a clearly not 378 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: up for the job buffoon, I got another thing. I 379 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 1: got another thing to tell you. It's not going to happen. 380 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: I also feel this way, and I don't hear a 381 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,199 Speaker 1: lot of other conservatives say this. I really resent the 382 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 1: fact that they've put us in a position whereas somebody 383 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: who thinks about analyzes comments on politics, I don't ever 384 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 1: like making making fun of dementia, or it's not something 385 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 1: that it's very serious issue. It's like making fun of 386 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 1: a physical infirmity. It's not something that you do, right, 387 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: That's not an ethical thing to do. But he is 388 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: the president of the United States, and he's clearly foggy, 389 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: and he's clearly too old, and it's a problem for 390 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: all of us that this is the reality. And it's 391 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: shameful that Democrats have put this guy who is declining 392 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,640 Speaker 1: in front of our very eyes, in this role. So 393 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: I'm angry at them. I'm angry at the people that 394 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 1: propped him up. I'm angry at the media outlets that 395 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 1: pretended like he was up for this job. And I 396 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: know how they do this. Oh, how dare you you 397 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: the dementia? You know you're talking about his dementia and 398 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: all this stuff. Yeah, well, what choice do we have. 399 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 1: The guy shouldn't be president of the United States, obviously. Oh, 400 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: but they are going to start saying otherwise really loudly. Now, 401 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: Oh no, the Afghan situation. It was all about the decision, 402 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: the gutsy call. Here's sake bomb getting you're ready for 403 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 1: play four. The President stands by his decision to bring 404 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 1: our men and women home from Afghanistan because if he 405 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,160 Speaker 1: had not, his view and the view of many experts 406 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: in military out there, as we would have sent tens 407 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: of thousands potentially or thousands at least more troops back 408 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: into harm's way, risking more lives and more people to 409 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,360 Speaker 1: fight a war. The Afghans were not willing to fight themselves. 410 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: Nothing has changed in that. Regard Biden the hero, that's 411 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 1: going to be the narrative you here, that's going to 412 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: be what what the storyline is from his partisans. He 413 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 1: made the right call, he did the right thing. Joe 414 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: Biden's just great. He's just great. I know, how could 415 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,199 Speaker 1: that be? It will be, That's what they'll say, and 416 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 1: it's on us to hold them to account. It's on 417 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: us to speak the truth about this. Born from the 418 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 1: tragedy of nine to eleven, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation 419 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 1: carries forward a legacy of courage and heroism to mark 420 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 1: twenty years. Tunnel to Towers is gifting America's heroes and 421 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: their families with two hundred mortgage free homes to honor 422 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 1: the fallen. Chairman and CEO, Frank Siller, walks more than 423 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: five hundred miles through six states and forty two days 424 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: from the Pentagon to Shanksville, culminating at ground zero on 425 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 1: nine eleven. Towers of Light returned to the Pentagon and 426 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,920 Speaker 1: shanks for memorials. In remembrance and for the first time, 427 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: those we lost to nine eleven related illness are being 428 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 1: honored at a ceremony on September twelfth on Veterans Day. 429 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: Another first, the soldiers we lost in the War on 430 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: Terror or having their names read aloud the words never forget, 431 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 1: require action, do good, and take action now. Donate eleven 432 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 1: dollars a month that t twot dot org. That's t 433 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: the number two, t dot org, t twot tunnel, the 434 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: Towers Foundation t twot dot org. The Faucciite madness is 435 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 1: reaching its end stage here. The Fauccyite madness is getting 436 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: the point now where there's nothing too absurd, nothing too 437 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 1: stupid for them to do. First of all, I wanted 438 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 1: to mention that you'll see they use their power wherever 439 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: they can the left the lockdowners. When it's Democrats in 440 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: charge of the state, the state locks you down. The 441 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 1: state mandates vaccines. When they are in charge of the 442 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: federal government. Now, of course the same thing. And if 443 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,360 Speaker 1: they can, they'll just use the private sector as their proxy. 444 00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: In all of this. We need protection from these mandates. 445 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 1: We need governors to step up. Marty talking to one 446 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: governor in a I shouldn't say a governor. I'm talking 447 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 1: to some people in a state where I know the 448 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: governor is open to the idea of conscience protections from 449 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: forced vaccination, and I'm certainly hoping that that goes forward. 450 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: It's early stage, though, so people around the guy who 451 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: would have to sign it I'm talking to because there 452 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: has been some let's just say, unwillingness from other governor's 453 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 1: mansions to take a stand and be a leader. But 454 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 1: Florida Ron, Florida's Ron de Santon is of course getting 455 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: it done. Still the best governor in America, and here 456 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:52,360 Speaker 1: he is on how they got rid of his Rather, 457 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: localities are just overriding. He's the governor and these localities 458 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,080 Speaker 1: are in his state. But they're saying, oh no, we 459 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: are going to mandate masks. Even though you say there 460 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 1: has to be an option, a mandate cannot be in place. 461 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,919 Speaker 1: There must be an opt out based on parents for 462 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 1: their kids. The localities are just saying no, they're just 463 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: being lawless. Essentially, here's what Ronda Santa says about their 464 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 1: actions Play eleven. Well, it's it's going to be appealed. Obviously, 465 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 1: it's a problematic if you look at the ruling. He's 466 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: basically saying that it had it violated the school school boards, 467 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,439 Speaker 1: the Parents' Bill of Rights violas the school board. But 468 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: in reality, the school boards weren't even parties to the case. 469 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 1: So I think we're gonna have really good grounds to 470 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: appeal in terms of the first District Court of Appeal. 471 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 1: And look, at the end of the day, what the parents' 472 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: Bill of Rights requires in our judgment is that parents 473 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: be given the right to opt out. Yeah, parents should 474 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: have a right to opt out, obviously, obviously, but Democrats 475 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: don't want it. Notice how it's never enough for them 476 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: to lockdowners or never contend to protect themselves. They must 477 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: control you two. Somehow. They have all these things that 478 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 1: they think really work, masking, vaccine, social distancing, handwashing, all 479 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 1: these different things, but it's never enough. You have to 480 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: do it too, all of it, or else you're a 481 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: bad person. This should tell you something about their mentality 482 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: and the reality of what we are, what we are 483 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 1: facing here. And then there's Amherst College. This is some 484 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: crazy stuff. This is my alma mater. I just had 485 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 1: to bring this up to you. Where it was always liberal, 486 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 1: I mean it was there were always issues with it 487 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: in that regard, but I knew that it was going 488 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 1: to get particularly crazy. I knew that it was likely 489 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: that they were going to get out of control in 490 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 1: this era of COVID, even with a vaccine mandate in place. Okay, 491 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: Amherst College has a vaccine mandate in place. It is 492 00:29:55,080 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 1: keeping its dining hall closed, and it is barring stud 493 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 1: students from walking I mean the town next to Amer's colleges. 494 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 1: It's across the street. I mean, you walk fifty yards 495 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 1: and you're in town. You're not allowed to go in 496 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: town other than for quote essential business. This is from 497 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 1: Alec McGillis on Twitter. Essential business like banking or pharmacy needs. 498 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 1: I mean, this is insane. They're telling this is a 499 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 1: college college campus that's saying you can't leave campus to 500 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: go into town except for specific needs that we designate. 501 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 1: And everyone on this campus is vaccinated. Everybody, they have 502 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: a vaccine mandate, so they're all vaxed, which means that 503 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,479 Speaker 1: they shouldn't have to worry about hospitalization or death right 504 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: because even though we know you can still give the 505 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 1: virus and get the virus, when you're vaxed, they tell 506 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: you can't get and they're at low risk anyway because 507 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 1: they're young. I mean, all the college students are obviously 508 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: at very low risk. They're fine, less risky for them 509 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: than the flu. But they're not allowed to go in town. 510 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: And how they even go to enforce this? What kind 511 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: of insanity is this? Anyone who has tested positive for 512 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 1: COVID will be put into isolation for ten days in 513 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 1: a dorm room designated for this. You have to go 514 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 1: into quarantine for ten days if you test positive for 515 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: quote COVID in a room that they assigned you, because 516 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: obviously there's a lot of cohabitation, you know, co living 517 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 1: situations with students. I gotta tell you, this is this 518 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 1: is madness. This is madness. Outdoors students must wear face 519 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: covering outdoor mask mandate all community members must mask if 520 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 1: they are tending a gathering of more than twenty five people, 521 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:57,160 Speaker 1: regardless of where it is. This is crazy. This is 522 00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 1: in science. This is a religious belief for left wing 523 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 1: loons who think that CNN is God and and think 524 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 1: that if they obey Faucci all the time, they'll live forever. 525 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 1: We are all going to die. We are all on 526 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 1: borrowed time. We all should make the best use of 527 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 1: the time we have and live free and happy and 528 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 1: meaningful lives. And you can't do that with idiot libs 529 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 1: running around telling you to triple mask, don't go see anyone, 530 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 1: don't go to anything. Oh my gosh, adulta virus. Uh, 531 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 1: what a bunch of cowards. They're such babies. This is 532 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: the truth of the fauci I madness. These are people 533 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 1: who are of weak mind and weak character. Oh, they 534 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 1: can't go into town or else. Maybe he'll be near 535 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 1: somebody who's come they're vaccinated. Anyway.
