He may read it on the show. 0:00:11.440 --> 0:00:13.600 Welcome to the Freedom Hut team. Great to have you 0:00:13.680 --> 0:00:16.439 with me here on this Tuesday, August thirty. First, we 0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:21.599 have all US troops out of Afghanistan. The Taliban is 0:00:21.800 --> 0:00:24.280 taunting us with mock funerals in the streets of coast 0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:28.840 and Kandahar. A news anchor surrounded by Taliban guys with 0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:33.440 guns says, don't be afraid. Meanwhile, libs still trust the media, 0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:38.479 and Amherst College, my alma mater, goes full COVID totalitarian. 0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:40.760 We'll get into all that in just a moment. But 0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:45.680 my friends at Carnivore Trading are doing incredibly this year. 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:49.160 All right, I love this carnival Trading testimonial, Morgan Rites. 0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:52.880 I have zero time to study stock trading charts.

Do all Carnivor stock records 0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:02.320 rake in four d eighty six percent? Of course not. 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:05.160 But monster wins happen more than you think, which is 0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:08.880 why I follow Carnivores advice too.

We are out 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:56.840 of Afghanistan. They did this ahead of the deadline. They 0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:59.240 didn't even wait, I guess you could say on Afghan time, 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:03.560 because they're nine ten hours ahead something like that. They 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:09.800 decided to move in advance of the US based timeline deadline. 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:13.360 And there are some very notable things we have to 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:16.840 say right away. One is they did leave Americans behind. 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:22.240 They did leave over a hundred US citizens on the 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:28.040 ground So remember when Joe Biden promised promised that they 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:32.880 would not leave, they would not leave without making sure 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:36.160 every American was out. Well, that was a lie, that 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:40.560 was not true. And there's a lot here that we 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:43.240 can do to analyze the situation. We can talk about, 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:46.320 for example, did the Taliban really offer to give the 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:50.280 US full control over Cobble and to manage the whole evacuation, 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:52.800 including security for the whole city? Their reports about that? 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:59.320 Did the United States decide that they were going to 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.040 pull out even though they knew there were Americans who 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:04.960 were actively trying to get to the airport. We keep 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:07.400 hearing about people who want to leave, So were there 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:12.120 people who wanted to leave who could not get out. Well, 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:16.320 I understand where your head is and where mine is 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:19.840 on this one. We have to get ready, though, for 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:21.440 what the other side is going to do and say. 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:27.040 But first, here is General Kenneth McKenzie, and here's what 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:30.440 he says about this departure Place six. Look, there's a 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:33.200 lot of hard break associated with this departure. We did 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.360 not get everybody out that we wanted to get out, 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:37.720 But I think if would stayed another ten days, Louis, 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:39.600 we wouldn't have gotten everybody out there we wanted to 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:41.360 get out, and there still would have been people who 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.640 would have been disappointed with that. It's a tough situation. 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:48.120 But I want to emphasize again that simply because we 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:52.240 have left, that doesn't mean the opportunities for both Americans 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:55.720 that are in Afghanistan that want to leave Afghans who 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.120 want to leave, they will not be denied that opportunity. 0:03:58.160 --> 0:03:59.600 I think our Department of State is going to work 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:03.000 that very hard in the days and weeks ahead. So 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:07.600 they're going to be negotiating with the Taliban for the 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:11.160 departure of Americans who were left behind with our very 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:14.800 hasty deadline here. Now, I understand it was a twenty 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:17.599 year long war, but you would think that they could 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:20.520 have extended this out a few days to get the 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:24.039 Americans out, and to do so with some semblance of 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:27.160 American security and projection a force on the ground. Now 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:30.120 it's going to be okay, Taliban, please let our guys 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.760 get through to the airport. Please let them get on 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:37.520 those planes. Don't kidnap them, don't murder them or mutilate them. 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:41.839 Let our Americans through. We're also going to be negotiating 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:47.400 over some Afghan SIVs, these special immigrant visas that were 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.560 left behind because they didn't have exactly the right paperwork. 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:53.680 I had friends that were trying to coordinate behind the 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:58.120 scenes to get certain Afghans out who should have been 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:00.960 able to get out based upon the promises made to 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:03.080 them by the United States, but they were unable to 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:07.160 because of some issue in their paperwork, or maybe it 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:10.239 was just they couldn't get safely to the very front 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:14.360 of the crowds at Kabul Airport. Remember, the Taliban has 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:19.480 actually been in charge of security during this whole process 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:22.720 because they have the outer ring, so you couldn't actually 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:26.599 get to Kabul Airport unless the Taliban lets you, and 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:30.000 now they control everything. You've seen the photo of the 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:34.520 last American soldier getting on a transport plane to get 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:38.240 out of Afghanistan. You've seen the photos of Taliban fighters 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:41.119 decked out at American gear head to toe walking into 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:48.640 a giant hangar with Chinook helicopters still in place. And yes, 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:51.479 the billions and billions of dollars we spent equipping and 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:56.159 training the Afghan national security forces that has fallen directly 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:58.880 into Taliban hand. So they walk around now, dressed in 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:04.880 brand new American gear courtesy of Uncle Sam. Taliban fighters 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:09.120 look like they actually are ready for the fight. And 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.839 John Kirby was on MSNBC. You know this is the 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:16.880 guy who's the Pentagon spokesman. He was asked by Morning Joe, 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:20.600 how does it feel to play so much faith in 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:22.960 the Taliban? And you have had to do that this 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:25.680 whole time, Play one. There's nothing about faith here, Willie, 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:28.919 nothing at all. It's not about trust. We developed a 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.800 pragmatic relationship that we had to do over the last 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:33.839 couple of weeks to help get people safely to the 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:35.760 airport and get them out of there. And it worked. 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:40.560 But believe me, nobody's resting on laurels here, and nobody's 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:43.400 just going to take it at face value what the 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:46.880 Talibans say. We're going to hold them accountable for their actions, 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.359 not just their words, their actions, and again we have 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:51.720 tools available to us across the range of our government 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:56.960 to do that. We'll see about that. They have had 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:58.839 to put a tremendous amount of faith in the Taliban, 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:02.240 that much is clear. Maybe they don't trust them, but 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:04.919 they have to ask them to do things kind of 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:08.880 begged them Really, it's embarrassing, isn't it the United States 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:16.800 to be dealing with this medieval cult, medieval cult that 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:20.400 treats women brutally and children. This was the actual question 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:23.360 posed to him. Is the Taliban different now? Will you 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.560 probably saw if you were on the internet yesterday and 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:30.400 on social media, the Taliban hanging somebody from one of 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:35.800 our six million dollars US Blackhawk helicopters flying that person 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:38.960 around cobble. I mean, this is a group that has 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:47.360 led by men of savage mindset who embrace a fundamentalist 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:51.320 brutality that has not gone away. Now in the short term, 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:54.840 they perhaps, and this is true, recognize that some of 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:59.400 their interests are served by not going as crazy as 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:02.360 they possible. Lee Kennor would want to. But how long 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:06.560 will that last? And what are we going to do 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:10.440 about the Americans left behind? Here's John Kirby on MSNBC 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:14.800 again asked about the Afghans who have been left. Remember 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:19.080 the Afghans that the United States government promised, we will 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:21.000 get you out do this for us, We will get 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:22.800 you out. And I understand right now there are people 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:25.520 who say, oh, but we're taking in so many Afghans? 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:28.240 Have they all been properly vetted. They all do need 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:31.960 to be properly vetted, and there needs to be procedure 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:35.360 in place to make sure that we don't have infiltrations 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:38.080 of any ISIS sympathizers. And I think those are all 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:41.920 very fair points. I stand with that notion. But I 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:45.840 also believe that when you shake a man's hand, whether 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:49.040 it's you're an individual or the government of the United 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:52.920 States of America, and you say, this is my word, 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:55.800 this is my bond, here is the contract you keep 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:59.520 that this is a point of honor. If we are 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:03.880 an honorable people, our government keeps its word to those 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:08.560 who help in conflict zones around the world. So what 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:11.600 do we do about those Afghans who were left behind? 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:13.560 Who were I'm not talking about Afghans who just want 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:15.280 to get out because they don't like the Taliban. I'm 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:19.360 talking about those who we made a deal with. All Right, 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:21.880 We're not supposed to double cross people. We're America. I 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.720 know that we're not perfect, and our government, as we've 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:29.600 seen very clearly, is somewhat run by buffoons. But what 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:31.600 do we do about the Afghans left behind? Here's John 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:34.959 Kirby play too. I would tell them Willie that they 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:37.520 still have that commitment. We thank them for their service, 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:40.360 We're grateful for what they did, and we moved out 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:43.719 an incredible number in a span of two weeks, one 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:46.120 hundred and twenty three thousand, the vast majority of which 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.440 we're Afghans, Afghan Allies, people like them who helped us. 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:52.800 As General Mackenzie said yesterday, we're heartbroken that we couldn't 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:55.040 get everybody out, but they still have our commitment. They 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:58.240 still have the commitment of this administration and the United States, 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:00.320 and we're going to do everything we can to continued 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:02.679 to try to get them out of that country and 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:09.960 out safely. What is that commitment really worth? What does 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:15.959 that commitment mean? What does it do? I think if 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:19.679 you ask some of the terrified Afghans who are hiding 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:22.240 right now and hoping they don't receive these night letters 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:25.079 that have been put on doors in Cobblin, I'm sure 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:28.360 in places all over Afghanistan saying we know who you are, 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:33.080 We're coming for you. I'm not sure Kirby saying that 0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:38.240 we are committed to them really does very much at all. 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:41.280 But this is what we're left with. This is where 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:46.600 we are. There are many questions that remain. Among them, 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:51.360 is this going to become a terror safe haven and 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:54.080 what will that look like? What will that mean for 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.760 the rest of the world. Now, I've been hearing this 0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:59.920 phrase Saudi Arabia without the oil as in the Taliban war, 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:04.680 a strict fundamentalist Islamic regime, But of course they don't 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:12.000 have the enormous financial resources that come from oil reserves. 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:14.160 They will be selling a whole lot of opium, but 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:17.320 even that is not on the same scale as what 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:22.000 you get in the Saudi oil fields. So that will 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:26.600 mean there's a different level of force projection and ideological 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:30.840 projection all over the world, even if the Afghan Taliban 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:36.640 goes all in on Jihadis philosophy. But what about these 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:42.240 ISIS fighters who are in this splinter faction, if you will, 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:47.760 are this other entity operating inside of Afghanistan right now? 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:51.280 How many of them are there? What is their strength? 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:55.600 Here's General Mackenzie again talent talking about that play five. 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:58.040 They remain a very lethal force, and I think we 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:01.920 would assess that probably they're at least two thousand hardcore 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:05.200 ISIS fighters in Afghanistan now, and of course many of 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:07.560 those come from the prisons that were there were opened 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:09.959 a few days ago, so that number is up and 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:11.880 as probably as high as it's ever been in quite 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:16.520 a while. Two thousand hardcore ISIS fighters. I mean, the 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:19.319 Taliban opened up the prisons and let out the worst 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:22.160 of the worst. So you can imagine what that's going 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:25.320 to do to this society. And there's so many ways 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:27.600 this could play out. You could even have a circumstance 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:34.480 where right now, maybe the Taliban leadership is pragmatic in 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:37.480 its approach to things. Now, pragmatism doesn't mean that they're 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:40.559 good guys, obviously, it just means it's in their interest 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:44.640 right now, you know, this is this starts to be like, well, 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.640 you know, we fought against the Nazis and we allied 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:52.360 with the Soviets to do so. The Soviets were really bad. 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:57.520 Stalin's regime was really awful and evil and wanted to 0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:02.040 destroy us too. But sometimes work with you know, the 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:04.760 enemy of your enemy as your friends, as the mantra, 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:08.559 and you forget about the fact that they're still your enemy. 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:10.720 And I think that we may see that playing out 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:13.679 with ISIS fighters in Afghanistan. I'm not sure yet how 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:17.600 this will go and remember that all the projections you see, 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:21.439 all the claims out there about what's going to happen, 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:25.480 are coming from an intelligence and national security apparatus that 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:31.560 has been humiliated, I mean humiliated by the fall of 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:35.360 the Afghan national security forces that they apparently could not 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:41.880 see coming at all, had no idea. How is that possible? Well, 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:46.120 apparently it is because it just happened. We saw it happen. 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:50.840 So remember that as you hear people prognosticating on the 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:54.319 future of Afghanistan, but our twenty year war there is over. 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:58.960 It's done, and there's going to be a lot of 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:03.400 soul ching, a lot of after action report and analysis 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:07.680 about what was achieved, what wasn't achieved, How do we 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:10.480 get drawn in for so long? What did we miss? 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:15.320 And as importantly as anything else, perhaps most importantly, how 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:22.680 does the lesson of Afghanistan affect us going forward? How 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:26.200 does this whole process of twenty years in this country 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:29.040 as a nation? What does it tell us about our future? 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:32.360 I mean, I will say that I believe it means 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:37.800 nation building, especially in cultures or in countries with cultures 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:41.320 that are very different from our own, not a mission 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:44.880 set that we take on never again, not doing that again, 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:51.120 mission creep and the sense that you can drift into 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:55.520 a longer and larger obligation than you initially set out 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:58.000 to when it comes to military force and all the 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:02.680 reconstruction efforts and democracy promotion or all that not our job, 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:06.720 not our mission. We can help others who want to 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:09.560 do it for themselves, we cannot do it for them. 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:12.120 In many ways, I think that's one of the biggest 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:18.120 lessons of Afghanistan. We had our brilliant, brave soldiers out 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:22.560 there trying to hold together a country that just didn't 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:31.200 have the cultural, political, social cohesion to stay together itself. 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:34.000 And we couldn't hold it together for them, and we 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:38.320 couldn't do the fighting and the logistics and the things 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:41.800 that we had been forever for them. And so this 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:45.160 is where we are. Let's talk in a second here 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:49.160 about how is this going to be spun. What is 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:54.040 the pr from the Biden team, from the Democrat news 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:57.240 industrial complex going to be about this situation. I will 0:15:57.240 --> 0:15:59.840 come into that in a moment, But I know my 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.320 Lindell Well, he's the inventor of my pillow and his 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:05.600 team is incredible.

Now 0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:28.959 there are the so stupid nobody will believe it explanations 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:33.480 for the Biden decisions in Afghanistan. And then there are 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:35.159 the ones that I think are unfortunately going to be 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:38.520 a little bit more effective, but on the so dumb 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:41.800 nobody really is going to be able to get very 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:43.560 far with them. I mean, if you're looking for the 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:48.199 height of stupidity. Mazie Horrono, the senator from Hawaii. As 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:52.439 I've said, Hawaii such an amazing place. Such bad politicians 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:54.359 and politics come out of Hawaii. I love Hawaii, I 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:57.320 love Hawaiians, I love the people who live there. But 0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:03.800 Mazie Horrono, it's just democrat enclave. Anyway, here is the 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:07.879 senator on how it's Trump's fault. Of course, Play seven. 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:11.480 There are a lot of Afghans who were applying for 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:15.720 these special immigrant visas, and the Trump administration still walk 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:19.160 these visas to the point where it was not even happening, 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:25.120 and so the development of a lot of our Afghan 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:27.280 partners in their families who are not able to get 0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:30.480 out is not something that just happened overnight that this is. 0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:35.919 This is a situation that was very much on in 0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:38.600 my view, the Trump administration. But we're going to move 0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:41.600 forward and do everything we can to get all of 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:45.719 these people out in the coming months. Ah for the 0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:49.480 true it's the Trump administration, you see. Now, this is 0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:51.800 what I want to tell you right now, So you 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:55.280 prepare for that, because that's just they'll try that. I 0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:58.720 don't think that's really going to work. Blaming Trump. It's 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:00.919 it's weak. It's a little bit when they said, you 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:04.800 remember when Trump had a roaring economy, well, for three 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:07.159 years the only thing that stopped the roaring economy was COVID, 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:09.040 which had nothing to do with Trump, as we know. 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:12.880 But for three years we had this was booming economy. 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:16.000 But the first two years of it, we kept hearing 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:20.840 about the oh, it's the Obama economy. It's the Obama economy. 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:23.600 That's so it's not Trump. And this was this was 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:29.040 just weak sauce. This was JV kind of stuff. Oh yeah, 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:32.359 it's it's the it's the Obama Trump's running the show. Now. 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:37.000 Trump has put his people into place, and eighteen months in, 0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:39.600 twenty four months in we're gonna say it's Obama. That's 0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:41.679 the reason the economy is so good. It was laughable, right, 0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:43.720 I mean, they were gonna be Trump was running for 0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:47.040 reelection after his first term. Oh, it's the Obama economy. 0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:48.280 I mean, this is the kind of stuff that they 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:51.080 said no one really believed that, no one really believed it. 0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:57.080 But on this Afghanistan situation, get ready for it. Give 0:19:57.080 --> 0:20:01.960 it about a week, maybe less, and the Democrat corporate 0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:06.840 media will be talking about Biden's genius in ending the 0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:10.840 war and the amazing improvisation his team showed under pressure. 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:14.240 And they will look at anyone who questions this Soviet 0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:17.440 style rewriting of recent history like they're the crazy one. 0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:20.000 I know that you must be thinking, come on, that's 0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:24.200 not they can't, no, buck, come on, no, yes, yes, 0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:29.960 all of the debacle, the losses that we suffered here 0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:34.840 of prestige, all of it that will I mean the 0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:37.959 only part of this that the Biden administration isn't going 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:40.800 to be able to completely whitewash is, of course, the 0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:46.000 loss of our thirteen brave American service members. That's the 0:20:46.080 --> 0:20:49.359 part of this that is going to endure. But other 0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:51.520 than that, it's it's all going to be. And they'll say, oh, 0:20:51.560 --> 0:20:55.160 you know, nothing is perfect. It was a chaotic situation, 0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:58.320 but we made the right move. I'm telling you what 0:20:58.520 --> 0:21:02.760 feels right now, like the by administration is everyone was 0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:05.920 agreeing a week ago, what a disaster this is. Give it, 0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:08.000 give it a few days, maybe a few weeks. They'll 0:21:08.040 --> 0:21:11.360 be saying, you know, Joe actually did a prett damn 0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:14.520 good eye to be a pretty good job. Joe actually 0:21:14.600 --> 0:21:18.480 got it done. Yeah, he's a really strategic genius. Actually, 0:21:18.520 --> 0:21:22.840 oh no, he's fantastic. I know you hear this and 0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:25.800 you're like me and you want to throw things. But 0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:32.040 they're already getting this ready. They're already preparing this narrative 0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:37.000 for the future. I mean, here's Clara McCaskill, for example, 0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:41.120 on the White House deadline that now has been enforced. 0:21:41.160 --> 0:21:44.120 Here you go play play three. What you really need 0:21:44.119 --> 0:21:47.560 to realize is the speed with which the Taliban took 0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:52.080 over validates Joe Biden's decision because our mission had failed. 0:21:52.359 --> 0:21:55.280 Now was the deal that the Trump did ridiculous? Yes? 0:21:55.520 --> 0:21:58.760 Was he asking the Taliban to Camp David and acting, 0:21:58.840 --> 0:22:02.560 and so they were valid state actors. Yes, all of 0:22:02.600 --> 0:22:06.119 that was bad, but the bottom line is, no matter 0:22:06.240 --> 0:22:08.280 when we pulled out, it was going to be messy. 0:22:08.560 --> 0:22:10.680 No matter when we pulled out, there were going to 0:22:10.720 --> 0:22:14.240 be throngs of people gathered at the departure point, and 0:22:14.359 --> 0:22:17.240 our military were been called on to protect them, which 0:22:17.320 --> 0:22:22.919 makes them sitting duck for these terrorists. See, it was 0:22:22.960 --> 0:22:25.600 always going to be bad. Joe Biden gets credit for 0:22:25.720 --> 0:22:28.960 being brave. Forget about the fact that this whole thing 0:22:29.040 --> 0:22:32.960 collapsed in what felt like minutes. Forget about the fact 0:22:32.960 --> 0:22:36.240 that we left Americans behind. Forget about the fact, yes Democrats, 0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:39.240 that we took casualties over there. They're going to try 0:22:39.280 --> 0:22:44.320 to memory hole all of this. Joe Biden made the 0:22:44.440 --> 0:22:47.359 right call, a gut seat call. Even I know you 0:22:47.560 --> 0:22:52.560 hear this and your blood boils. I feel the same way. 0:22:53.200 --> 0:22:55.120 But if you think that there's going to be some 0:22:55.960 --> 0:23:01.119 massive surge of accountability for Biden being a clearly not 0:23:01.320 --> 0:23:05.600 up for the job buffoon, I got another thing. I 0:23:05.640 --> 0:23:08.160 got another thing to tell you. It's not going to happen. 0:23:09.400 --> 0:23:11.840 I also feel this way, and I don't hear a 0:23:11.840 --> 0:23:14.199 lot of other conservatives say this. I really resent the 0:23:14.240 --> 0:23:16.879 fact that they've put us in a position whereas somebody 0:23:16.920 --> 0:23:21.600 who thinks about analyzes comments on politics, I don't ever 0:23:21.680 --> 0:23:25.679 like making making fun of dementia, or it's not something 0:23:25.680 --> 0:23:28.600 that it's very serious issue. It's like making fun of 0:23:28.600 --> 0:23:31.440 a physical infirmity. It's not something that you do, right, 0:23:31.480 --> 0:23:35.280 That's not an ethical thing to do. But he is 0:23:35.320 --> 0:23:38.840 the president of the United States, and he's clearly foggy, 0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:42.760 and he's clearly too old, and it's a problem for 0:23:42.800 --> 0:23:44.760 all of us that this is the reality. And it's 0:23:45.200 --> 0:23:49.800 shameful that Democrats have put this guy who is declining 0:23:50.119 --> 0:23:52.640 in front of our very eyes, in this role. So 0:23:52.760 --> 0:23:57.080 I'm angry at them. I'm angry at the people that 0:23:57.160 --> 0:24:00.480 propped him up. I'm angry at the media outlets that 0:24:00.520 --> 0:24:03.399 pretended like he was up for this job. And I 0:24:03.760 --> 0:24:05.760 know how they do this. Oh, how dare you you 0:24:07.320 --> 0:24:09.520 the dementia? You know you're talking about his dementia and 0:24:09.520 --> 0:24:12.480 all this stuff. Yeah, well, what choice do we have. 0:24:13.800 --> 0:24:18.480 The guy shouldn't be president of the United States, obviously. Oh, 0:24:18.520 --> 0:24:22.440 but they are going to start saying otherwise really loudly. Now, 0:24:22.480 --> 0:24:26.000
