Find your nunormal with Nucala Steve. We saw it here on the Steve. We saw it here on the channel yesterday, Secretary of State Tony Blinken, grilled on Capitol Hill, about what the administration knew before launching a deadly drone strike in Afghanistan, the guy with the administration drone was he an aid worker or ISIS K operative. The administration is, of course, reviewing that strike, so you dont, know or wont. Tell us, I dont know because were reviewing. It well, see youd, think youd kind of know before you off somebody with a predator drone, whether hes an aid worker or hes, an ISIS K, Ainsley joining us now with more from the heated exchange Senate Foreign Relations Committee Member Rand, Paul good morning to you good morning, thanks for having me Ainsley, we saw you questioning him about that. What do you know? Do you think they do know its an aid worker hes, just not able to tell you laughter. Well, here is the interesting thing

when things are classified, sometimes they do, and sometimes they dont when they thought they had killed a high ranking operative. They were very free with the information that they got their target, but now that it looks like it may not have been their target now its classified and they cant tell us, but it was kind of unclear from his testimony whether he doesnt know who they killed or wont tell I got the feeling that they dont know and that they are very worried that they did the wrong person and a bunch of civilians and for years, ive said that you know with the drone target im, not against killing a Bin Laden with a drone, but I am against that. We killed the wrong people because that had the hatred that doesnt go away for generations Brian. What did you learn? Yesterday? You watched the house, you went to school on that three minutes. Not much was done and its Trump S fault. What did you takeaway from this? I thought Marco Rubio really zoned in he said theres no way you could not have known that Kabul was going to fall. You guys had the same

intelligence as they had and you could put that together. Yeah. I think they had to know everybody was saying it. People were on the Senate floor, trying to evacuate people three months before this. They were trying to evacuate people in the spring, knowing it was going to fall, but here is my point, even if they were surprised by the quick takeover once Bagram AIR Force Base was relinquished and they took control of it. We should have said look in about three minutes to vacate our planes. Our helicopters were bombing bag ram and we should have demolished it on the way out. I still would have left but demolished Bagram on the way out. This is also my question about the drone attack. The drone attack is a pin price index to show that we try to save face or that we still have some strings in the end, its going to show weakness because we shot the wrong person with a drone, but really had we destroyed the equipment on the way out. That would have been something eighty dollars billion worth of equipment, and my point is: they are already thinking about giving the Taliban money

theres ten dollars billion out there from the previous afghan government and basically Blinken Brian thats, not a good, sound Steve. I think we heard the sound of Skype going away Ainsley. Well, the Taliban does want us to give them aid. They also are telling us to have a heart for them: Brian yeah. They say they thank the world for one dollar and nineteen cents billion, but they say have a heart. America have a big heart because youre a big country. They also pointed out that we let a lot of your people go except for that one explosion by the gate that really went well. So we need some aid money and I dont think that Tony Blinken said no to when he was asked by Senator Rand Paul. Are you going to give it to him? The answer is really: yes were giving it to them unless they break their word on something one of which they did. They have allowed Al Qaeda to be part of their cabinet and we have the Dni come out and said within a year and a half they will be capable of attacking us here at home Ainsley. I think we have the senator back with Us Steve stop hanging up on us, okay, laughter,

Ainsley, senator. How do you explain it? Im sorry, go ahead by my calculations. If they stole eighty dollars billion worth of equipment, the ten dollars billion, they would still owe us seventy billion more. So they would still owe us money. Not us owe them money. So no, I wouldnt give them a penny, even the money being given in foreign aid. The Taliban has a history of taking it and giving it to the party members and their supporter and depriving the people or people that dont support government. So I wouldnt give them that either right now its an insult to the thirteen soldiers who just died to immediately be giving them money, Ainsley or the people who died in nine, slash eleven Steve. Nobody has spoken more about drones than you have senator. We all remember your epic filibuster on the floor of the Senate, talking about that that went on for hours and you brought it up again yesterday. So Tony Blinken was asked yesterday whether he would resign. He said absolutely not now people are saying maybe the chairman of the joint chief of Staff General Mark Milley

needs to go, because it looks like, according to the New Bob Woodward Book, that apparently the joint chief chairman called up a couple of times once before the election. Once after January, six and talked to his chinese counterpart and said: hey dont worry about us, well take care of things and were not going to bomb you. What do you make of the fact that General Milley called up China and said dont worry about this president? If we investigated immediately today, he should be questioned under oath, if not with a polygraph test, whether it happened and if it happened, he should be immediately relieved of his duties and court martial ed. You have to find out if its true this is rumor and propaganda. Perhaps, but if it is true, absolutely immediately needs to be removed. We have elections, we cant have generals over turning elections. We have always criticized in authoritarian regimes where the military takes over.

This is very, very dangerous, and if this happened, Milley needs to be Needly removed of his command Ainsley and it alleged that he said China. If we attack you ill give you a warning ill, give you a heads up so that you can be ready, Brian, what a great general Ainsley! Can we get transcripts of these conversations well and Heres? The thing is: it actually makes war more likely if youre calling up our adversaries and saying we think the president is such a loose canon that actually puts them on red alert and actually, if there happens to be which there are instances where there are false warnings of attacks, and we have to talk to each other. If we have a general saying our president is liable to unleash nuclear weapons on you or attack on you, that makes any kind of accidental war even more likely by him, bringing up the game its a terrible thing, very dangerous, but just by defying the chain of command it gets

outside of what we have as a constitutional republic Brian. He said after the last book came out. I dont really comment on anybodys books thats when he was evidently said its a moment and that the President Trump at the time has the classic authoritarian leader. He has nothing to lose. He said im not going to comment on that. He cant not comment on this. He should be calling a separate press conference today to confirm or deny it going along business as usual to me does not. Suffice, should be immediately ordered into a room for an interview, not just a press interview for an interview with polygraph, which we do often for our intelligence, and he needs to be asked. Did you call the chinese government in defiance to your command? Did you warn them or insinuate to them that the president might attack them that the incredibly dangerous to the country and to the world.
