1 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 1: Two years since we left Afghanistan. No, we're not forgetting 2 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: about it. We're going to talk about it. We have 3 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: GDP numbers and our government is so old. Well, that's 4 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: coming up tonight. I'm right. 5 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 2: I'm here to announce the completion of our withdrawal from Afghanistan, 6 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 2: in the end of the military mission to evacuate American citizens, 7 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 2: third country nationals and vulnerable Afghans. The last seventeen lifted 8 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 2: off from Hamid Karzai International Airport on August thirtieth, this 9 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 2: afternoon at three twenty nine pm East coast time. 10 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: Two years ago, two years ago today, we ended the 11 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: twenty year war, conflict, occupation, what do we call it, 12 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: of Afghanistan. We've been celebrating a lot of horrible anniversary 13 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: is because of Afghanistan. And let me just pause before 14 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: I go into these anniversaries. I don't care that this 15 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 1: isn't the breaking news of the day. I care about 16 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 1: the people who fought there, and bled there and died 17 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: there and then were disgraced by this government, just tossed 18 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: to the side by this government. I care that we're 19 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: led by evil people who lied I care that we've 20 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: been lied to for twenty years about what happened. I 21 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: care about the lives, the treasure, the misconduct, the corruption, 22 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,119 Speaker 1: and I'm not going to let things go. I don't 23 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: let things go. I don't forget because there's a new 24 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: flashy news story every single morning, and I just let 25 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 1: something go. It's exactly what they want. August fifteenth, two 26 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: years ago, Taliban took over. August twenty sixth, two years ago. 27 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: Suicide bomber merks thirteen of our brave men and women 28 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: are brave service members. August twenty ninth, in response to 29 00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: our thirteen warriors dying, we drone strikes ten innocent people, 30 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: seven of them children, as we were leaving Afghanistan, and 31 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: today was the day we got out. And this man 32 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,959 Speaker 1: was and is the commander in chief who presided over 33 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: all of it. 34 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 3: I'm not supposed to take any questions. We'll go ahead. 35 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 3: I'm not gonna answer Ghanistan now, okay. 36 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: I'm not supposed to take any questions. Oh, Afghanistan. No, 37 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 1: I'm not doing that. Hey, which direction am I supposed 38 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: to walk? 39 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 3: Oh? 40 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: We'll get to old politicians here in just a few 41 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 1: segments on the show. So that brings us to nine eleven. 42 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: Obviously we're coming up on the anniversary of nine to eleven. 43 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: Joe Biden won't be in New York City for the 44 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: anniversary of nine to eleven. Joe Biden will instead be 45 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: up in Alaska. Now that doesn't matter. Why is Joe 46 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: Biden not in New York City for nine to eleven 47 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: or in the very least standing at the Pentagon, Well, 48 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: because Joe Biden doesn't care. That's really what it comes 49 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: down to. We are now led. It's not just Democrats either, 50 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: it's not just Joe Biden, but we are as a nation, 51 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: we are led by people with no patriotism, none. Many 52 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: of them actually hate the country. And that's obviously really bad, 53 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: but almost it's almost worse than that. There's just nothing 54 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: that stirs inside of these people when you talk about America, 55 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: the way it stirs inside of you, the way it 56 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: stirs inside of me. When we're at a football game. 57 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: Maybe you're going to a football game, high school football 58 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: is firing enough this Friday night. Maybe you're gonna stand 59 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: up there and put your hand over your heart as 60 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: they sing the national anthem, and when they hit that 61 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: Land of the Free note. Even if you don't cry, 62 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: I don't cry, I get close sometimes, though, Arah, it 63 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: gets me. It's important for all of us to understand 64 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: that feeling. You get that feeling, I get it. It's 65 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: not in these people at all. When the President of 66 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: the United States of America may sit by the side 67 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: for a moment, if you if you were tasked with 68 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 1: greeting the families of the thirteen warriors who died as 69 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: they pulled their bodies off of a plane, and their 70 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: parents are seeing a covered casket for the first time 71 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: where their son, where their daughter now lies, what would 72 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 1: you be like with the families. You'd be wonderful. I 73 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: know you would. Maybe you would cry with them. I 74 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 1: know you would hug them. You would thank them for 75 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: their sacrifice, tell them what heroes their children were. That's 76 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: how you would respond, because you have this feeling inside 77 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: of you about America and honoring the service to it. 78 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: Had you see this latest from this gold star father 79 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 1: who described how the commander in chief conducted himself. 80 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 3: Two years has gone by, and where are we to be? 81 00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 3: Frank deep in is where we are. 82 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 4: Everyone who held a key position in the military still 83 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 4: has that position or has been promoted. Not a single 84 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 4: person has been held accountable our so called leader, can't 85 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 4: seem to even utter their names in public, and there 86 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 4: couldn't be anything more disgusting and cowardly than the way 87 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 4: you have treated us. 88 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 3: You are a disgrace to this nation. 89 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 4: You have no business having ultimate command over our military, 90 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 4: and I regret not saying that to your face. When 91 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 4: I had the opportunity in Dover, I felt it more 92 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 4: like more important to bite my tongue, But I also 93 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 4: had more important things on my mind at that time, 94 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 4: like receiving my son's lifeless body stateside. While I stood 95 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 4: there on the tarmac watching you check your watch over 96 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 4: and over again, all I wanted to do was shout 97 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 4: out it's two thirty, But out of respect to the 98 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 4: other grieving families, I bit my tongue once again. Well, 99 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 4: as you could probably tell by now, I'm done biting 100 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 4: my tongue. You sure stole their lives, their futures, their dreams, 101 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 4: and have ripped apart thirteen families. 102 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,359 Speaker 3: You cannot even man up and admit that. 103 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: Joining me now to discuss that and other things, my friends, 104 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 1: James Hassen Jerry Dunleeby, authors of the book That is 105 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: Sweeping this Country by the Grace of God, people are 106 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: reading it, Kabble. If you want to honor these people, 107 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: honor our warriors, honor their sacrifice, and find out who 108 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: failed them, go pick it up. Highly recommend it. They're 109 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: not just friends of mine, they're excellent authors. Okay, James 110 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: Abi Gaate that man's son. Obviously, I just can't even 111 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 1: imagine the anger and heartbreak he's going through. But Aby 112 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: Gay did not have to happen. It wasn't inevitable, was it. 113 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 5: James, No, No, it absolutely wasn't. And one thing that 114 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 5: we reveal in Cobble. 115 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 6: Is that there were several different opportunities to prevent this 116 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 6: from happening, and to start chronologically, the very first mistake 117 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 6: was giving up Boger. And I know, Jesse, you and 118 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 6: I talked about this a little bit on your show 119 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 6: a few weeks back, but one thing that you know, 120 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 6: we didn't talk about was that the Isis suicide bomber 121 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 6: who killed thirteen Americans, who did forty five more killed 122 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 6: two hundred Afghans, was in prison at a prison at 123 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 6: Bogera Mairbase and he had been arrested by the CIA 124 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 6: in twenty seventeen and he was released by the Taliban 125 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 6: on August fifteenth, So that's step one. 126 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 5: Step two is that we and by we, I mean the. 127 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 6: Military and the intelligence community were tracking an ISIS CA 128 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 6: cell and the military put together at targeting package and 129 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 6: asked for permission to conduct an airstrike on August twenty fourth, 130 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 6: so two days before the attack, and it was denied 131 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 6: because averl of Vasiley and Major General Donahue deemed it 132 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 6: infeasible due to negative reaction from the Taliban. And just 133 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 6: to back up there, we actually struck that exact same 134 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 6: location on August twenty seventh, the day after the bombing, 135 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 6: and they did that to prevent a follow on attack. 136 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 5: And the ISIS operator that they killed. 137 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 6: There was the guy in charge of distributing suicide vests, 138 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,079 Speaker 6: planning suicide attacks. All of this so you have to 139 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,599 Speaker 6: ask yourself if we had simply conducted the attack on 140 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 6: the twenty fourth instead of being worried about whatever the 141 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 6: Taliban thought. 142 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 5: Then there's a good chance we might have been able 143 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 5: to prevent it. 144 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 6: But the last thing is that the day before the attack, 145 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 6: the military intelligence officials tracked isis K to a hotel. 146 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 6: It was two to three kilometers west of the airfield 147 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 6: and by the way, Jesse, this is all in the 148 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 6: Pentagon's own documents. These are all sworn statements, the transcribed interviews. 149 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 6: They're in the Pentagon's own reports. Jerry and I were 150 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 6: just the first people to dig through thousands. 151 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: Of pages and find them. 152 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 6: But the day before the attack, they were staged at 153 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 6: a hotel two three kloumbers west of the airfield, and 154 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,199 Speaker 6: because we were relying on the Taliban, Major General Donahue 155 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 6: asked the Taliban to raid that location, and of course 156 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 6: the Taliban didn't, and you know, the rest is history. 157 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: And you know, Jerry, for people who aren't as aware 158 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: as you two are about the military, like what James 159 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: just said, there can be such a culture shock, such 160 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: a shock for them when they hear Admiral this general 161 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: that wouldn't give permission, wouldn't say yes. Can you please 162 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: explain to the American who's sitting there stunned exactly what 163 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 1: goes on in the higher levels of America's military leadership. 164 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,079 Speaker 1: It's not the people on the ground. What goes on 165 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: with these freaking people? 166 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean it is stunning, right, And you know, 167 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 7: I was in the room yesterday when those gold Star 168 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 7: families were testifying and their stories, I mean, they're heartbreaking, 169 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 7: and part of why they're so heartbreaking is that. 170 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 5: They're so true. 171 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 7: And as James just explained, this Abbegate attack, you know, 172 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 7: it was not inevitable as the Biden administration is trying 173 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 7: to say. And you know, one other thing was that 174 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:42,199 Speaker 7: Marine Sergeant Tyler Vargas Andrews was a Marine sniper at 175 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 7: h Kaya during the evacuation. He said that in the 176 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 7: lead up to the attack, he was receiving not just 177 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 7: detailed intelligence about the attack incoming lightly that day, almost 178 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 7: down to the hour that the attack happened, but he 179 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 7: also received descriptions of the likely suicide bomber, and he 180 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 7: and his sniper team believed that they had identified the 181 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 7: likely suicide bomber, had him in their sites, asked their 182 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 7: commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel Brad Witted, for permission to take 183 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 7: the shot, and according to Tyler, this commanding officer told 184 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 7: Tyler that he, as the commanding officer, didn't have permission 185 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 7: to give Tyler permission to take the shot, and he 186 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 7: didn't know who did. And I think a lot of 187 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 7: this goes back to the US military leadership having to 188 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 7: rely on the Taliban, because the decisions that Biden had 189 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 7: made essentially meant that with giving up Bogram and then 190 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 7: with the Taliban taking over the whole country, our presence 191 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 7: was stuck in just this tiny airport, that's all that 192 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 7: we controlled. And so all of these requests from US 193 00:11:55,679 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 7: service members on the ground and from US military officer 194 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 7: or intelligence officers who may have wanted to raid ice 195 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 7: scale locations or take strikes against ice of scale locations, 196 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 7: the US military leadership was having to take into account 197 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 7: how the Taliban would respond because we were essentially, because 198 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 7: of the position that Biden and put us in, we 199 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 7: were essentially at the mercy of the Taliban if we 200 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 7: wanted to continue to try to get Americans and Afghan 201 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 7: allies out. So this was an insane way to do 202 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 7: an evacuation, and it was ultimately a dangerous and a 203 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 7: deadly one. 204 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: James, can you explain why it's harder to secure a 205 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 1: civilian airport than it is a place like Bogram? And 206 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: I say that because I realized your military experience is 207 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 1: limited because you were in the Army and not Marines. 208 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 3: But you do. 209 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: Understand at least a little bit about security and all 210 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: SIUs says, why is it a big deal to give 211 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: up Bogram. Why can't you just secure the local airport? 212 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: And what's different about Bogram? What's the problem? 213 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 3: You know. 214 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 6: I'm glad you asked that, because I think in a 215 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 6: lot of these conversations everyone just talks about, oh, we 216 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 6: gave up Bogram, that was awful, but nobody actually explains it. 217 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 6: And so I'm glad you asked so for for context 218 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 6: for for your viewers. Bogram is a massive installation with 219 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 6: dozens of runways. It's built for exactly the kind of 220 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 6: evacuation that we would be conducting. In fact, it was 221 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 6: built by the Soviets when they were in Afghanistan, and 222 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 6: there is there's plenty of standoff distance. There's open fields 223 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 6: all around in which you can, you know, prevent anyone 224 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 6: from breaching the gates. But on top of that, we 225 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 6: had all of these platforms, all these you know, different 226 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 6: you know, unmanned aerial assets. We had uh, you know, 227 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 6: jets and all that, which we could have used to 228 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 6: prevent the Taliban from taking Kabble. We couldn't have probably 229 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 6: used it to prevent them from taking a lot of 230 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 6: the country, but we could have kept basically a radius 231 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 6: or around Cobble and and Bagroom where we could have 232 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 6: had an orderly evacuation. But the reason why that the airstrip, 233 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 6: the single strip airstrip in Cobble was so dangerous was 234 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 6: that it was in a dense urban environment. There are 235 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 6: roads leading off to it from all from all sides, 236 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 6: so it's it's really very difficult to secure. There's high 237 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 6: ground on all sides, and we know that the Taliban 238 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 6: had snipers overwatching the area the entire time the you know, 239 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 6: the US military was there. We know that they you know, 240 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 6: because it was such a small fixed location, they were 241 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 6: able to range their mortars in so if they wanted 242 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 6: to conduct a mortar attack against the US, they could have. 243 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 5: And the US troops knew that. 244 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 6: So it's it really was the least defensible position we 245 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 6: possibly could have taken. 246 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: And what I want to. 247 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 6: Emphasize, Jesse, is that US military Harry commanders told that 248 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 6: to President Biden. President Biden was told that unequivocally. In fact, 249 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 6: believe it or not, When the Obama administration conducted a 250 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 6: feasibility analysis of an evacuation, they looked into whether or 251 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 6: not it was possible to do it from from the 252 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 6: Kabo airport, and they concluded that it was just a 253 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 6: non starter because people were going to get hurt. Joe 254 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 6: Biden threw all that out the window, and you know, 255 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,479 Speaker 6: the results speak for themselves. 256 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: Jerry, I'm going to ask you a question you may 257 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: not be able to answer, but you guys wrote the 258 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: freaking book on it, So maybe you're the perfect one 259 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: to ask why what James just said. Look, even if 260 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: you even if you accept as I have, that Joe 261 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: Biden doesn't have any patriotism or any of that, you 262 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: at least would know that politically, it's bad if your 263 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: troops get killed. So why would you make even if 264 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: you're a soulless monster who doesn't care about their lives, 265 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: why would you make such a strategic decision? Especially when 266 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: you have guys with a bunch of ribbons and medals 267 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: on their chests, even though they're officers and they didn't 268 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: earn most of them. They're telling you it's a bad idea. 269 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 5: Why, I mean, it is befuddling. 270 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 7: Joe Biden developed a huge chip on his shoulder against 271 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 7: the generals in military leadership generally when he was Obama's 272 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 7: vice president, because they basically just ignored him for eight years, 273 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 7: and so I think that he came into his presidency 274 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 7: with a chip on his shoulder related to the military leadership. 275 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 7: I also think that Biden really wanted to make his 276 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 7: mark on the war in Afghanistan. If you'll recall, he 277 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 7: was pretty much the only person in Obama's inner circle 278 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 7: who advised against the raid that killed Osama bin Laden. 279 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 7: So he got that wrong. 280 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 8: He was ignored with all. 281 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 7: The other advice that he gave related to Afghanistan when 282 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 7: Obama was president. I just think he wanted to make 283 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,199 Speaker 7: his mark. And you can kind of see that with 284 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,239 Speaker 7: the date that he picked for the final US withdrawal, right, 285 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 7: because in April twenty twenty one, he announced we're leaving immediately, 286 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 7: and oh, by the way, sidebar, we're not. We have 287 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 7: no plan about how to get Americans out, no plan 288 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 7: about how to get the tens of thousands of allies out. 289 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 7: But he picked the twentieth anniversary of nine to eleven 290 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 7: for that final troop withdrawal date. Now, why would he 291 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 7: pick a day like that. I think maybe he wanted 292 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 7: some sort of victory lap. He wanted something that he 293 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,640 Speaker 7: could say he did on the twentieth anniversary. 294 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: But what that. 295 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,919 Speaker 7: Meant is that he makes the announcement in April. The 296 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 7: final troop withdrawal date is September eleventh. That's the spring 297 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 7: and summer, which the United States knows and anyone that's 298 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 7: bought in Afghanistan knows that that is the middle of 299 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 7: Afghan fighting season. That is when the Taliban ramps up. 300 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 7: That's when the snow melts, Taliban could start moving in 301 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 7: from Pakistan into Afghanistan. That is when the fighting is 302 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,959 Speaker 7: the strongest. It starts to heat up in the spring. 303 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 7: It's real hard fighting in the summer and a little 304 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 7: bit into the fall. And by picking that date and 305 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 7: by having no plan about doing all of the other 306 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 7: things that we would need to do if we wanted 307 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 7: to do a safe and smart evacuation, what he actually 308 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 7: ensured is that by the twentieth anniversary of nine to eleven, 309 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 7: the Taliban, the guys who harbored al Qaeda before nine 310 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 7: to eleven and after nine to eleven, the Taliban were 311 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 7: back in charge. On the twentieth anniversary. 312 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, the book is Kabble. Please go pick it up. 313 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: Read about your government, honor those who fell. Jerry James 314 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: appreciate you boys begin. 315 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 7: Anytime you very much, Jesse, you really appreciate it. 316 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: Man, it's freaking aggravating. It's my blood pressure up. Man. 317 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna switch gears. Talk about these GDP numbers. 318 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,120 Speaker 1: What do they mean? Things like that. We're gonna talk 319 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,400 Speaker 1: about that in a moment. You know what else gets 320 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: my blood pressure up? Freaking scam artists. I hate them. 321 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:16,640 Speaker 1: I hate people who do dirty business. And these timeshare companies, 322 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: not all of them, but many of them do dirty business. 323 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 1: And this is the business they do. They sell you 324 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,919 Speaker 1: on a timeshare. That's fine, I got no problem with that. 325 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: Here's a sweet time share. Come enjoy it, you buy it, 326 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: you enjoy it. But what they never tell you, what 327 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 1: never seems to come up, is you're stuck in it 328 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: for life. You don't know till you try to get out, 329 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: and then they tell you, hmmm, I should have read 330 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: defined print. Sorry, you gotta stay Lone Star Transfer doesn't 331 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 1: like scammers either. Family business that's helped over eighteen thousand 332 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: timeshare owners legally and permanently get out from that time share. 333 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,640 Speaker 1: Stop paying those annual fees, stop paying the special assessments. Instead, 334 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: make a phone call because you're one phone call away 335 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: from freedom eight four four three one zero two six 336 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: four six. We're going to lone star transfer dot Com. 337 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: All right, we'll be back. We got the GDP data 338 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: today for Q two. That's quarter two, that's the second 339 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: three months whatever. I went to community college. Anyway, it 340 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,439 Speaker 1: grew pretty exciting stuff. Two point oh seven. Wait, that 341 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 1: doesn't sound very good. Let's ask Carol Roth if that's 342 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: very good. Carol Roth, our recovering investment banker and now 343 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: this big fancy author, Carol Roth. Her new book is 344 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 1: going like Gangbusters. I might add, you will own nothing. Okay, Carol? 345 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: Is that good? I mean it grew. It didn't grow much, 346 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: but it grew a little bit. Yeah. 347 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 9: So this is the second read that we've gotten of 348 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 9: this past quarters GDP. It comes there are three different reads, 349 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 9: and so we saw a downward revision. Originally it was 350 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 9: supposed to be two point four percent growth. Now it's 351 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,199 Speaker 9: been down to push down to two point one percent growth. 352 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 9: And you know, we'll see when we get the third 353 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,479 Speaker 9: read if that holds up, or perhaps it gets pushed 354 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 9: down again. So I would say, you know, absent everything else. 355 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 9: It's kind of like this slow you know, whatever growth. 356 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,119 Speaker 9: The interesting thing Jesse about this particular read is that 357 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 9: there's another measure of the economy that people don't usually 358 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 9: hear about. We usually hear GDP, which measures the product side. 359 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 9: You can measure the same thing the economy from the 360 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 9: income side. You know, income and dividends and taxes and 361 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 9: you know all that kind of stuff, and usually those 362 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 9: two are about the same, which is why you never 363 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 9: hear about it. The weird thing that's happening is that, 364 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 9: for the first time in a very long time, there's 365 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 9: this huge divergence between the readings. We're seeing two point 366 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 9: one percent growth if you're measuring the products, but when 367 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 9: you're measuring income, we're seeing point five five percent growth, 368 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 9: which is telling everybody that, you know, something seems off. 369 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,640 Speaker 9: And we don't know if that means that the product's 370 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 9: measurement will come down or maybe there's something else playing 371 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 9: out behind the scenes. But there's a reason why people 372 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 9: are feeling like they're in a recession or that the 373 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:21,439 Speaker 9: economy is a bit slower than it is perceived, and 374 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 9: yet we still have this kind of like muddling along 375 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 9: growth at two point one percent supposedly. 376 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, can you explain that, Carol, and I realized this 377 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: might be a ten minute answer, and if that's the case, 378 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: you can just have the show for the rest of 379 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: the night, Carol. But look, I talk to all kinds 380 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: of normal people. I hang with normal people, as I 381 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: know you do, and even the ones who aren't hurting 382 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: definitely feel like their dollar doesn't go near as far. 383 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: When I get with friends and family, they complain about 384 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: the vacation they can't afford this year. They complain they 385 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: can't go get that new car they're toughing out another year, 386 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: that back to school supplies were twice as much as 387 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: my neighbor told me twice as much this year last year. 388 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: So we hear that life is more expensive, meaning everyone's 389 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 1: standard of living has been reduced, yet it's growing. What's happening? 390 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 1: What am I seeing? 391 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 9: Yeah, well it's first of all, I'm impressed that you 392 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 9: called me normal, because usually people call me a little 393 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 9: bit crazy. But I'll take the normalcy. But in people's lives, 394 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,199 Speaker 9: we are having what is called, or at least what 395 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 9: I'm calling individual or personal recessions, where the average American, 396 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 9: mainStreet America is really carrying the economy. So it's not 397 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 9: that people are cutting back necessarily and seeing that growth slow, 398 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 9: they're taking it on personally, which means that they have 399 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 9: lower amounts of savings, which means they have more credit 400 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,439 Speaker 9: card debt, which is consistent with what we're seeing right 401 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,880 Speaker 9: and in terms of credit cards is a one trillion 402 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 9: dollar on the aggregate, which is a record. So people 403 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:55,360 Speaker 9: are really taking that on. And because they still have jobs, 404 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 9: they feel like, well, you know, maybe I can still 405 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 9: get that vacation in or I can still do this 406 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 9: thing even though it's costing me a ton. But at 407 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 9: some point that taps out, either there isn't the credit 408 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 9: availability given to them, they decide that they don't have 409 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 9: enough in savings, or you know, God forbid, you were 410 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 9: seeing the a little bit more tightness in the labor market, 411 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 9: and maybe that becomes a concern. So that can only 412 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,239 Speaker 9: go on for so long. At the same time, you 413 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 9: have to remember that part of the reason the GDP 414 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 9: is expanding is because the government is spending so much money. 415 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 9: I mean, they're just you know, spending like drunkard sailors 416 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 9: with no disrespect ment to the drunken sailors, and so 417 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 9: you have that aspect going on as well. But this 418 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 9: whole idea that you know, the FED is going to 419 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 9: be able to get us out of this without you 420 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 9: get inflation down, without completely wrecking the economy just seems 421 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 9: still very much like a pipe dream, and nobody has 422 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 9: come up with any sort of realistic plan to make 423 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 9: sure that the average American feels like they can you 424 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 9: get a little bit of a breathing room, you know, 425 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,120 Speaker 9: whether it's for buying a house, whether it's just going 426 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 9: about their daily lives, you know, groceries and basic cost 427 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 9: of living. Like you said back to school, you know, 428 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 9: people are hurting, and I'm just not hearing any discussion 429 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 9: of that because you know, the people who are the 430 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,400 Speaker 9: elite and the rich and the well connected really aren't 431 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 9: hurting that much, and so you know they don't they 432 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 9: don't really. 433 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: Care, Carol. Something that I think has national implications that 434 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,439 Speaker 1: other people don't is what you just brought up, the 435 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: credit card debt. I saw personal credit card debt one 436 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: trillion dollars, the highest amount ever. And to where a 437 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: lot of people watching this right now, my scoff at 438 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 1: that I don't care. I didn't run out my credit cards, 439 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 1: Mine aren't max down. What do I care? Carol, if 440 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: we have a personal bankruptcy problem that widespread in this country, 441 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: that becomes an everyone problem, doesn't it. 442 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 8: It sure does. 443 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 9: And you have to remember that it's not just that 444 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 9: the overall balances are high, but the interest rates are 445 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 9: through the roof. I've seen that the averages are anywhere 446 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 9: and then twenty two to twenty four percent range, which 447 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 9: is just absolute lunacy. And so people are not only 448 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,199 Speaker 9: paying more in terms of putting it on credit, but 449 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 9: the financing cost of that they're doing. They're taking a cueue, 450 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 9: by the way, from the government and let's just put 451 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,199 Speaker 9: it on our credit cards and we don't care what 452 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 9: it is, and we'll just finance it later. They're getting 453 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 9: much much higher rates, and so yes, that ends up 454 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 9: collapsing and people are hurting. That brings down the whole 455 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,959 Speaker 9: economy because, as you and I have talked about before, 456 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:39,679 Speaker 9: the consumer makes up seventy percent of the economy, and 457 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 9: so when the consumer no longer can spend, the government 458 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 9: can only plug that hole so much. But if the 459 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 9: individual is hurting, then it impacts the economy and then 460 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 9: it just becomes a domino. It means that you know, 461 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 9: people aren't buying then the businesses aren't doing as well, 462 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 9: and then the businesses lay off people and they don't 463 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 9: have money to put back in the economy, and that 464 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 9: becomes a vicious cycle. So that becomes a very ugly proposition. 465 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 9: And the idea that the FED in the government is 466 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 9: putting this on our individual backs to keep this economy 467 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 9: going when it is really breaking the backs of main 468 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,679 Speaker 9: street America and the backbone of this country is just 469 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 9: absolute insanity. And we will have to pay the price 470 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 9: like this cannot continue to go on like this and 471 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:29,120 Speaker 9: everything just comes out rainbows and sunshine on the other end. 472 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 9: And I hope it's not going to be too too 473 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 9: painful above and beyond the pain that we've already been feeling. 474 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 9: But it's not a good trajectory, and that's why we 475 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 9: really need to have some serious physical discussions in this country. Unfortunately, 476 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 9: other than folks like yourself who like to highlight these things, 477 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 9: everybody's distracted by absolute nothingness, by stupid insanity. The fiscal 478 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 9: foundation when that is broken, that is something that can't 479 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,199 Speaker 9: just change on a whim. Really need to take it 480 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 9: more seriously. 481 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 1: Oly, we sure do, all right, Carol, Let's deal this. 482 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: I ask you. I'm curious about something, something I genuinely 483 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,439 Speaker 1: don't know. I know seventy percent of the economy is 484 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 1: consumer driven. What I don't know is how much of 485 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: that is normal person versus rich person, Meaning that's seventy percent, 486 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,159 Speaker 1: and I know they all contribute, but how much of 487 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: that is Johnny money bags buying a new house in 488 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 1: the Hampton's and a new yacht versus normal person buying 489 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 1: bread and eggs. What are the percentages there? 490 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 9: So I don't have an exact percentage for you. I 491 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 9: could make it an educated guest, but it would probably 492 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 9: be wrong and we don't want to do that to 493 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 9: your viewers. But what I will say is that they 494 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 9: both play an important role. And it's not like the 495 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 9: wealthiest people are just solely carrying the economy. It's a 496 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 9: small percentage of the purchases. So yes, they do have 497 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 9: some purchasing, but the bulk of that is going to 498 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 9: be on the backs of the average American. So we 499 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 9: can't just expect that, oh, well, you know, if the 500 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 9: alitt do well, that's just going to help us along. 501 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 9: And that's why this entire scenario that we've been undergoing 502 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 9: the last fifteen years, where the FED and government has 503 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 9: put their hands on the scale and tipped it in 504 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 9: favor of the wealthy and well connected is just so outrageous. 505 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 9: And the fact that the media will not call it 506 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 9: out that they'll they'll blame the consumer, they'll blame putin, 507 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 9: they'll blame anybody else, but they won't look the perpetrators 508 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 9: in the eye. The FED and the government is that 509 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 9: you caused this. You're not going to be able to 510 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 9: create the solution. We need you out of the way, 511 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 9: and we need to remove the barriers to wealth creation 512 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 9: for every single American. 513 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: I wouldn't bank on it.

Whenever some idiot actor gets up on 542 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 1: stage at the Oscars and talks about climate change or 543 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,479 Speaker 1: trainees or something. We're always saying no one cares, but 544 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 1: that's not true. Entertainment is a critical cultural pillar.

You're the one who knows. You're 553 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 1: the expert. I'm not, but it seems like we just 554 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 1: kind of seated that ground. It's not important. I'll just 555 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 1: read the Constitution. None of that stuff matters. Why were 556 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 1: we so naive?

I thought, good 585 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 10: for her, you know, because that sort of shocked me 586 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,719 Speaker 10: when I heard somebody of her caliber did it. 587 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 8: And I said, well, this is we need to keep 588 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 8: doing this. 589 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 3: My job. 590 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 10: My job is to make Hollywood manly again, and that's 591 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 10: what I'm doing with my book.

And it's not as if those 617 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,759 Speaker 1: were Christian movies.

Does Hollywood? 625 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 10: For the most part, you look at Warner Students, most 626 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 10: of Hollywood is pretty conservative. Back in the twenties, thirties, 627 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,920 Speaker 10: and forties. Things started shifting the fifties and really shifted 628 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,399 Speaker 10: in the sixties when you had this whole you know, 629 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 10: the Vietnam War, You had the civic rights, you had 630 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,879 Speaker 10: the hippie movement, the Free Love a band, the bra 631 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 10: feminism of all this kind of stuff, and Hollywood really shifted 632 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,399 Speaker 10: the way it made movies. It started celebrating the bad guy. 633 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,239 Speaker 10: The bad guy became the hero. John Wayne was out 634 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 10: of a job.
