1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: All right, our two Sean Hannity Show eight hundred and 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:04,560 Speaker 1: nine four one Sean, you want to be a part 3 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: of the program. There are estimates anywhere between ten and 4 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 1: eighty plus thousand Americans, and I mean yeah, in the interpreters, 5 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 1: those that America had promised that if they assist us 6 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,120 Speaker 1: on the ground, that if God forbid, anything ever went 7 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 1: south or we were to leave and their lives were 8 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,319 Speaker 1: in jeopardy, that they would be helped out. That's a 9 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 1: promise that was made by America to the individuals that 10 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: were supposedly helping us to fight and win a war. 11 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: You know why we're fighting wars that we don't win. 12 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: I will never understand how Isis was allowed to build 13 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 1: out the way they were. I will never understand how 14 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: Donald Trump systematically drove the Caliphate into the ground. Is 15 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: just a case in point. With modern military technology, the 16 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: capability we now have we've never had before obviously could 17 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: have been employed here had anyone had the will to 18 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: do it. But they decided not to. There was a moment, 19 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: actually a guy by the name of Matt Zeller is 20 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: his name, passionately just just pounding Brian Williams, and I 21 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: guess former CIA director Brennan was on there as well, 22 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: but I didn't hear a peep out of him in 23 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: the clip that I saw about all of the Americans 24 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: and then those that were our closest allies in this 25 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: whole conflict over twenty years that are being left behind. 26 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: Listen to what he says, Oh, I'm curious to hear 27 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 1: your reaction of this consequential speech by the American President. 28 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: Didn't run from it. He owned it. He owned his decision, 29 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: He owned the fact that, as he put it, the 30 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: buck stops with him. I hope he gets to hone 31 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: their deaths too, don't. I feel like I watched a 32 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: different speech than the rest of you guys. I was 33 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,559 Speaker 1: a Paul. There is such a profound, bold faith lie 34 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: in that speech, the idea that we plan for every contingency. 35 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: I have been personally trying to tell this administration since 36 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: it took office. I've been trying to tell our government 37 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: for years that this was coming. We sent them plan 38 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: after plan on how to evacuate these people. Nobody listened 39 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: to us. They didn't plan for the evacuation of our 40 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: Afghan wartime allies. They're trying to conduct it now at 41 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: the eleventh hour. The thing that they were most concerned 42 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: about was with the optics of a chaotic evacuation. Well, 43 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: they got exactly that they were most concerned of by 44 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: failing to do what was right when we could have 45 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: done it. We had all the people in equipment in 46 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: place to be able to save these people months ago, 47 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: and we did nothing. I'm appalled that he thinks that 48 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 1: we only need to take two thousand people. There's eighty 49 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: six thousand people who are currently left behind in Afghanistan alone. 50 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: We've identified all of them for the government. I have 51 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,239 Speaker 1: no idea why he claims that people don't want to 52 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: leave Afghanistan. I have a list of fourteen thousand names 53 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 1: right now, but people who want to get out of Afghanistan, 54 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 1: and the idea that the Afghan military should be blamed 55 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: for this. Do you know how many casualties the Afghan 56 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: military took in an average year, more than the United 57 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: States did in twenty When you're not getting paid on 58 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: a regular basis, when you're not getting fuel, when no 59 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: one is supplying you with ammunition, and yet you're still 60 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: showing up to the fight, How dare us for having 61 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: to blame these people for not having the audacity to 62 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: be able to survive a Taliban onslot. No, no no, no. 63 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: What we need to be doing right now? And what 64 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 1: I am appalled that the President didn't say was we 65 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 1: need to be talking about how we're going to get 66 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 1: every single one of these people out, because let's be 67 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: abundantly clear, people like me look at these people in 68 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: the eye and made them a promise. We promised them 69 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: in their time of need, we would take care of them. 70 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: How do you ever expect anyone to ever trust us 71 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: again if we don't do that now while we can. 72 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: And I'm stick and tired of trying to defer the 73 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan on what we're going to do. 74 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: Were the United States of America, they're terrified of us. 75 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: I have Afghans on the ground right now who are 76 00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: telling me they're going door to door and cobble and 77 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: making lists for people who used to work with us. 78 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: They're telling them with smiles on their face, evil smiles, 79 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: that they're going to be back from them once we leave. 80 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: So we either take them now or these people are 81 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: going to die. I've been trying to tell anyone who 82 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: will listen, this is a never again moment in the making. 83 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: I mean, it's a stunning rebuke of this idiocy of 84 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 1: the likes of Brian Williams. Um Well, he owned it. 85 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: You know, this was a consequent, consequent, consequential speech, and 86 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: he owned it. He didn't own it. He blamed Trump. 87 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: He didn't own it. He blame the Afghan president that fled. 88 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: He didn't own it. He blamed the Afghan military that 89 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: he was praising two weeks ago as one of the 90 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: best militaries in the world. And they're we're prepared for 91 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 1: anything that the Taliman throws at them because they've got 92 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,359 Speaker 1: three hundred thousand trained people in an air force and 93 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: the Taliman only has seventy five thousand. How could you 94 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: be so spectacularly wrong? And now where what we're watching 95 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,359 Speaker 1: and learning is at the Pentagon. They warned Biden for 96 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: months and months about this debacco potential. The Taliban now 97 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: beating people who try to reach the airport. They've now 98 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: surrounded the perimeters so nobody else can get out. And 99 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: the hope is that you can get the people at 100 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 1: the airport out in the tens of thousands. And the 101 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 1: Taliban is now consolidating their control in Afghanistan's capital. And 102 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: on top of everything, when I mentioned earlier, is the 103 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: top Taliban terrorist. Yeah, Obama and Joe let him go 104 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: from Gitmo. We had him in our we had him 105 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 1: captured already. Great job, Joe, former Speaker of the House, 106 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: new Ingrich is with us to react to all of 107 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: this and how maybe possibly we can save these American 108 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: lives and the lives of our those that risked everything 109 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: there that we had promised to help. Oh, look, God, 110 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: I think we can save a lot of lives if 111 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: we're prepared to bring massive air power into the region. 112 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: I think the minute you had six or eight or 113 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: ten B fifty two's flying over various Taliban headquarters, you 114 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: would have sent the signal that they need to stand 115 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: down until we get done leading. And if they're not 116 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: going to stand down, I mean, they're not in a a 117 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 1: position to tell us we have two weeks. We're in 118 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: a position to tell them that we're gonna you know, 119 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: they would like to be in the seventh century. We 120 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: can help bomb them into it if they're really serious. 121 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: We know that very very few Americans combined with air power, 122 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: collaborating with a lot of very gutsy Afghans had fought 123 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: the Taliban basically to a defeat where they were able 124 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 1: to operate in the rural areas, but they couldn't capture 125 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: and keep any of the provincial towns. This is entirely 126 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: a function of the Biden left wing. You know, have 127 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: a week, America. Be nice to your enemies, be bad 128 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: to your your your allies. And frankly, one of the 129 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: most despicable things any president has said in my lifetime 130 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: was Biden attacking the Afghans for not being willing to fight. 131 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: As your last guest said, or the tape you played, 132 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: we lost sixty sixty thousand troops in a situation where 133 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: they weren't always That's not what Biden, sir. I don't 134 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: mean to interrupt, I apologize it, but but Biden said 135 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: that this is one of the most capable armies ever 136 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: on the face of the earth, and that they destroy 137 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: the Taliban. How do you make such a dramatic miscalculation? Well, 138 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: I mean, one of the things Congress ought to do 139 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: is dig into what was the real advice. I mean, 140 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: was the advice that Biden got three or four or 141 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: five weeks ago from the Pentagon, from the intelligence community, 142 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: from the State Department. Was it accurate enough? I mean, 143 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: how does he go from uh, we're clearly going to win. 144 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: You remember the promise. I think this would be, by 145 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: the way, a devastating commercial where he says, you're never 146 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: going to see helicopters leave the American embassy like happened 147 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: in Saigon. Of course he was a senator when they 148 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: left the embassy in pigon Um. You know, of course 149 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: you could play Biden saying that, and you could put 150 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: next to it at the footage of the American helicopters 151 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: leaving the embassy in Cobble and it just it just 152 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: proves this isn't this administration. They can't control the border, 153 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: they can't control spending, they can't control crime, and they 154 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: can't defeat our enemies over can I beg to differ? 155 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: It's not that they can't, they don't want to. Well, 156 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: why wouldn't I accept that? I think I think in 157 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:56,439 Speaker 1: fact they are they have a commitment to a weaker America. 158 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 1: I think these are mostly you know, Biden is surrounded 159 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: by anti American left wingers who don't want America to 160 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: be strong. That's why they kill the pipeline in the 161 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: US and then go and beg Opec to Pallemor oil 162 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: and gas while giving the Russians permission to build a 163 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: pipeline to Western Europe. I mean, you can't explain this 164 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 1: administration except as a deep commitment to winketing and underlying America. 165 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 1: Quick break more with former Speaker of the House New 166 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 1: King Rich.

Anyway, we'll get to that. 169 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: We'll get to your calls as well. Eight hundred nine 170 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: four one, Shawn is our number.

So now 173 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: my next question is very simple, because we're now being 174 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: told by our State Department, Mister Speaker, that Americans that 175 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: are there need to shelter in place. Then we're told 176 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: Defense officials they're saying they to be able to extract 177 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: about five thousand Americans a day from Cobbo, when we've 178 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: got up to forty thousand plus stranded in Cobbol right now, 179 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: many of them at the airport and many that can't 180 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: get to the airport, and Taliban fighters now have closed 181 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: in on the airport and have created a perimeter preventing 182 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: anybody from getting anywhere near it if they wanted to. 183 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: What are we supposed to do about that? Well, remember 184 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: Cobbo's only one city. I mean, how many Americans were 185 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: scattered across the countryside, how many o them are in 186 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: provincial capitals, and how many of our allies. I mean, 187 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: I don't think we should focus only on the Americans. 188 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: How many interpreters who are marked for death and their 189 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: families are marked for death. How many Acan pilots whose 190 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: entire family is marked for death. I mean, there are 191 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: a lot of folks out there at risk because of 192 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:01,839 Speaker 1: Biden's cowardly withdrawal, and I think it's clear that they 193 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: didn't do any kind of serious planning. I think you 194 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: need to explain to people because they probably likely don't 195 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: know and they're thinking, oh, here we go, We're going 196 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: to be the world's welcome center for refugees around the world. 197 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 1: It's to me it almost takes on as the gravity 198 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: and significance of for example, those people refugees from Cuba, 199 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: that they know that they will be killed if they 200 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,839 Speaker 1: went back to Cuba at the time, and I'm talking 201 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 1: about early in the Castro regime. And okay, the significance 202 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: of these interpreters. The Taliban knows who they are. They 203 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: will die because they were actively assisting us in our 204 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: military efforts. Their families will die as well. They're dead, 205 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,959 Speaker 1: they're marked for dead, right And I think the two 206 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 1: parts of it. One is just honor, so we have 207 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: a moral obligation to people who risk their lives to 208 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: help us. The other is practical. We want to send 209 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: it singing around the world that if you've got the 210 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 1: guts to stand with the US, the US is going 211 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: to stand with you. I mean, we aren't sit anyway 212 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: now a terrible signal of weakness. If you were in 213 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: Taiwan or South Korea, or if you're in Western Europe, 214 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: are you going to trust the United States? Are you 215 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: going to think, oh, yeah, this administration's got real guts 216 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: and they're going to stand firmly with me. Are you 217 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: going to say, boy, I sure hope nothing happens, because 218 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: I don't think I could count on Joe Biden for anything. Well, 219 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: it's it's it's a beyond a little bit scary here. 220 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 1: But the Taliban now this was in the UK mirrors 221 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 1: now drawing up killless for the afghanis that helped the US. 222 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: It shows the level of dangerous incompetence here the fact 223 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,079 Speaker 1: that I don't know if it's an intelligence failure or 224 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,079 Speaker 1: you know, or if Joe just didn't listen to the military. 225 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: I mean, that's yet to be determined. The Pentagon is 226 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: claiming very loudly that they warned Biden for months and 227 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: months about this debacle and what would happen if it 228 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,839 Speaker 1: was handled this way and on the other end of it. 229 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,719 Speaker 1: And I'll know more because I'm interviewing President Trump on 230 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: Hannity tonight. I'll know more later tonight. I am told 231 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: that the big distinction in the President's withdrawal planned withdrawal 232 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: from Afghanistan was that the Taliban and the President spoke directly, 233 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: and the President said, did you see what I did 234 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 1: in Syria and how I destroyed the Caliphate? And apparently 235 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: about the sternest warning you could ever give any group 236 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,959 Speaker 1: of people was sent out loud and clear that they 237 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: will be blown into oblivion if they dare get in 238 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: the way of any city. Never mind the fact that 239 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: as of late last week they had sixty percent of Afghanistan, 240 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 1: or I guess we should say Islamic emirates of Afghanistan 241 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: under now Taliban control, and nobody seems to have the 242 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: same fear of Joe Biden. They seem to walk with impunity. 243 00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: I think they're as shocked as everyone. One of the 244 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: early steps of the Trump administration was to drop the 245 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: largest bomb we've ever used, that the largest non nuclear 246 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: bomb we are used on a site to send a 247 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: signal that there's no place you can hide, there's no you. 248 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: If we come after you, we're going to get you. 249 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: And I do believe in I've had a similar conversations 250 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: you have with the President Trump. I do believe that 251 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: he communicated the great force that if they if the 252 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: Taliban broke their word. Remember he had a very principled 253 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: set of negotiating steps, and if the Taliban broke any 254 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: of the steps, then he reserved the right to use 255 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: massive air power to punish them until they got back 256 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: in line. And so this this wasn't a one time 257 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: simple conversation. This was a here is a roadmap by 258 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: which we can end the fighting, save a lot of lives. 259 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: But you guys aren't going to get to occupy all 260 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: of Afghanistan, and there was no break in the Afghan 261 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: army during the period that Trump was doing this, even 262 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: though people knew he was doing it, but they trusted him. 263 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: They believed that he would They trusted him. But also 264 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: the Taliban feared him right well, the Afghan the Afghans 265 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: on our side trusted him, and the Afghans and the 266 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: Taliban side appeared him.

What is 272 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: different in his planning with energy and with COVID and 273 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: inflation and everything else they were experiencing.

I'd like 291 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: to say thank you for being such a meaningful and 292 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: instrumental part of my life. Thank you.

It's have you never been down here? 297 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: It's a little bit better. But um to my question, 298 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: I would never ask anyone to speak for the late 299 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: great Rush Limbaugh, but I had been listening to him 300 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: slightly longer than I was following you, and he always 301 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: said that don't panic. I will tell you when it's 302 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,199 Speaker 1: time to panic. And again we don't have him to 303 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: answer that question. So I know that you were a true, 304 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: true friend through James Golden his comments on your show. 305 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 1: You weren't just a colleague, You weren't just similar career 306 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 1: as you were a true dear friend. So you're prob. 307 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: I'm friends with the entire family. His brother's been my 308 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: attorney for over thirty years. Nobody could ever replace this man. 309 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 1: He was a patriot beyond words. And we learned a 310 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: lot about Rush in the last year of his life, 311 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: not that I really didn't know it already. We know 312 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: what his bucket list was not. His bucket list was 313 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: eric to be on the air, get well enough what 314 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,679 Speaker 1: he was doing every day. His bucket list was to 315 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: get what you know, both through the hell of chemo 316 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: and cancer treatment, to get just well enough, barely most days, 317 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 1: not really there. But he did it anyway, to be 318 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,400 Speaker 1: on the air with the people, and that he loved 319 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 1: most his audience and his family. You wore his family. Amen. 320 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: So you want are you asking me? Is have we 321 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 1: hit that inflection point? Where Um, I'll let you know 322 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: when it's time to be there. Um it's I guess 323 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 1: kind of like what how how would you think Rush 324 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 1: would be feeling with Rushi be telling it's time to panic. 325 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,120 Speaker 1: And I don't mean in the literal pull your hair out, 326 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: go crazy sense, of course. I mean the delta variant, 327 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: the lambda lambda lambda variant, you know, the revenge of 328 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:49,360 Speaker 1: the nerds, what's going on in Afghanistan, the border, the inflation, 329 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: just everything that's going on. I personally don't think twenty 330 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: twenty two is gonna matter because I think uh Biden, 331 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,880 Speaker 1: I mean, he's a stroke of a pen away from 332 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: doing something to take that away from us too. So 333 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if twenty twenty two truly I'm trying 334 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: to hold on to hope. I'm praying every night, but 335 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 1: I don't know if twenty twenty two is truly going 336 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: to be the turning point, because we're not far away 337 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:16,160 Speaker 1: from one poor decision or one backhanded deal and we're done. 338 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: One of the things I loved about Rush and don't 339 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: I wouldn't even begin to think that I could speak 340 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: for him or in a way that he would articulated 341 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: himself and nobody could match it. Yeah, but but I 342 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: would say this, am I at the point that I 343 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: think it's over. No, I'm not am I at the 344 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,199 Speaker 1: point that I'm as worried as I've ever been. I 345 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: am am I at the point, you know when when 346 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 1: I very specifically repeat um by design the things that 347 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 1: need to happen now, so that we can have elections 348 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: with integrity, that we'll all have confidence and the results 349 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 1: in that being point number one. Anytime leftism, authoritarianism, socialism, 350 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 1: or Levin calls it American Marxism or a postconstitutional America. 351 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: Anytime we hit these moments, it's amazing America snaps back 352 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: because we see the failure unfolding on every level. I 353 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 1: said it in my opening monologue. Guests today, can you 354 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: name one thing that Joe Biden has done that is successful? 355 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 1: And I can't. I don't care. If it's the border, 356 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: I don't care. If it's COVID, I don't care. If 357 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 1: it's energy, I don't care. If it's the economy, I 358 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:44,120 Speaker 1: don't care. If it's inflation. I don't care if it's China, Russia, Afghanistan, 359 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: or Ran. I can't cite a single thing where it's 360 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: working now. The hope I have is that states have 361 00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 1: come to the conclusion that as a result of the pandemic, 362 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: laws were ignored in the twenty twenty election. We know 363 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 1: that for a fact. It's indisputable. When you have laws 364 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: that say partisan observers can observe the vote count and 365 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: you don't abide by them, that's not abiding by the law. 366 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: And we know these the flurry of last minute editions 367 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 1: that would even in the case of Pennsylvania, circumvent their 368 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: own state constitution. We know that happened too. We read 369 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court, you know, three or four decision, the descent, 370 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: a stinging descent by the Chief Justice and the Supreme 371 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 1: Court of Wisconsin. But the good news is is people 372 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: are making those changes. That's step one. What Biden is 373 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: doing is it's like you just watch it unfold and fail. 374 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: I think we're talking about it because it's so important. 375 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: We've got Americans now that have no idea if they're 376 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: ever going to make it home, that are left in Afghanistan. 377 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,239 Speaker 1: And I don't say that lightly. They don't know if 378 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 1: they're coming home. And yes, we see China now threatening 379 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: the US regularly when they're not lecturing US on human rights. 380 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 1: And you know, I think the Chinese communist newspapers admonition 381 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: that you know, they're saying that the US will abandon 382 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: Taiwan just like they did Afghanistan. I think that probably 383 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: is an accurate assertion that that is what they see. 384 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: Then that they don't they don't see Biden through the 385 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: rose colored filtered glasses of the medium mob protection program. 386 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: But I do have hope how to see things. Yeah, exactly. 387 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they see Biden for who he is, 388 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: and their description matches yours of mine. That he's weak, 389 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: frel he's a cognitive mess and not in charge. That's 390 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: what they say that allowed on the radio, sir. Neither 391 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 1: is mine. You know, I could write a great book 392 00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: everything I would say and the way I would say it, 393 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: but can't say it because it would get me fired. Okay, 394 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 1: I can write that book, Sign me up. I'll be 395 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: first in line to buy that one. So but the 396 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,439 Speaker 1: answer is, I'm not at the inflection point. And I'm 397 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: gonna tell you why, because I know that the heart 398 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: and soul of this country is full of good people. America, 399 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 1: as flawed as it is, always strives and has made 400 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: incredible strides towards the more perfect union, and that was 401 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 1: the beauty of our founders and framers. Is it as 402 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 1: at risk as much as I've ever seen in my lifetime. 403 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 1: The answer to that question is yes. You know, I'll 404 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 1: bring you into a private conversation than Russia and I 405 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: had what you used to have. And I used to 406 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: ask him, I said, I am not optimistic, and he 407 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: said I have to be. And I thought a lot 408 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: about that answer. Potential's passed away, and at one point 409 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: said I hear exactly where you're coming from. I'm there 410 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: a lot meaning that you wonder if our better days 411 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 1: are behind us. But I just believe in the people 412 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: in this country that they will. We're going to fix 413 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: this and we're going to get it right. It starts 414 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 1: with election reform. It starts with the election in twenty 415 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: twenty two, and then twenty twenty four, and if we 416 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 1: if we just look at that short term window, and 417 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: it'll happen very quickly. You know. Look, I've been on 418 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: radio thirty three years, I've been in TV twenty five. 419 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: I have no freaking idea how that happened. So time flies. 420 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: My kids are now ones, graduated from college, ones, that's 421 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: you know, finishing college. So I just have faith and 422 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 1: that the American people see what you and I see 423 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: and that we will that there will be a course correction. 424 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: And I hope it's now because we really don't have 425 00:24:55,760 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: much time. I'm worried about the time frame now, so 426 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 1: um the panic button now, I'm not ready to hit 427 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,239 Speaker 1: the jack button yet. Okay, does that help you? But 428 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 1: like I said, I just felt you were the quote 429 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 1: your relationship with Rush. If it was going to come 430 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 1: from anybody, I feel that people would need to hear 431 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: it from you because since we don't have the great 432 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: wrestling ball to answer the question, you know what I 433 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: missed the most? I'll tell you what I missed the 434 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 1: most about him this and I never I didn't have 435 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,479 Speaker 1: a lot of time to listen to him because I 436 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: have to prepare and quiet every day. It's just the 437 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: way my mind works. I have my papers, I have 438 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: to organize them, I have to put them in piles. 439 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: And you know, I'm I'm like very regimented all week long. 440 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 1: I live my life like a marine and barely I 441 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: just have a routine workout, study, do a show, work 442 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: out more, eat, do a show. You know, right, do 443 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: a show, Okay, then try and sleep. And you know 444 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: what Rush had that I think was so unique to 445 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: him is a take on everything that I'd always say 446 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 1: I wish I thought of that. It's like Levin has 447 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: a gift. Levin's gift is his constitutional expertise is he's 448 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: a constitutional scholar. It's his passion. He studies it whether 449 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 1: he's writing a book or not writing a book, because 450 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: he shares it with me all the time. We talk 451 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 1: all the time. And I think that's angry on the 452 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: radio and making it sound but how we all agree 453 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: with say it nobody else. I'll say it there. I 454 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: said it. I used to, I used to do used 455 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: on stage occasionally do Rush. Sean Hannity dropped the golden 456 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:40,719 Speaker 1: eib Mike, what a great broadcaster? Also, did you not? Yeah? Okay, 457 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 1: you know what you know? I feel like going all Mark, 458 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 1: get off my phone, your creep anyway. Um, you know, 459 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: we're all spokes in a wheel. And let me just 460 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: tell you this, Eric, no one spoke is more important 461 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: than the other. This isn't about me, It's not about Mark. 462 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: It's Rush would want us to fight that. I can 463 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 1: tell you Rush loved this country His passion was this country. 464 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 1: His passion were the people of this country. And you 465 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: are as important as spoke as he was. Mark is 466 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: whatever I am, I'm a spoke and you know we 467 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 1: need every spoke in the wheel to make this thing work. 468 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: And I don't care if the only thing you do 469 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: is call your state representatives and get integrity and election laws. 470 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: Just integrity, just fairness, that's all you're asking for. Voter 471 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 1: id thinknature verification. If you just get out and vote 472 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,199 Speaker 1: and make sure that it's important to you. If you 473 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 1: make sure that we get the right candidates to run, 474 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: if nothing else, if you donate to people that really 475 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: need to get a message out. Sometimes I'm not allowed 476 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 1: to do it because of what I do. And you 477 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: know that wheel will turn back around and we could 478 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,719 Speaker 1: turn the country around. It's not just the United States 479 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: that needs the United States. It's our kids. It's our grandkids. 480 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 1: That's the first and foremost in our mind. We I 481 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: don't know how old you said, you're younger than I am, 482 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: but um, you know, oppress about okay? For me at 483 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 1: this point in my life, it's less about me and 484 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: more about my kids, my grandkids, and your kids and 485 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 1: your grandkids. I have to I have five kids myself here. Okay, 486 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 1: that's zone defense and then some good luck to you. 487 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,160 Speaker 1: I don't know how the hell you do it. Um well, 488 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: I was. I was in a band when I was 489 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 1: younger too, So what did you did? You sing? Or 490 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 1: play guitar? The drums? Would you do? I played bass 491 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 1: and I was like a co lead singer. The style 492 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: of of the music at the time in the early 493 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 1: nineties before I joined the Corps.
