The a dot p says they are all the a dot p says they are all stunned, too bad. You are the president and you got us into this mess. The next guest slamming the President Ill planned retreat and calls on Biden to destroy every Taliban fighter near Kabul. Tom cotton served in average joins us now, senator we got about five to eight thousand. Now we know we could destroy these guys. We let them come into the capital, the President gutless guy. He is who, as corrupt as the day is long, he fled for the hills, nobody as replacement.

Why did we do nothing? Brian Brian, the scenes from Kabul and Afghanistan more broadly are tragic and catastrophic. For America, Joe Biden announced about four months ago that we would withdraw from Afghanistan. There is a difference between the decision to withdraw and how the decision was executed. Whatever you think of the first decision, the execution of Joe Biden has been recklessly negligent. Just yesterday, I heard from are a can San stuck behind Taliban checkpoints in Kabul. The best advice he was getting was to shelter in place and try to go fill out electronic form on the State Department website. We opened up our phone lines and emails to any Americans stuck behind Taliban lines and the last twelve to eighteen hours. We have had four hundred to five hundred people contacting us pleading for assistance for how to get to the airport and get out of the get out of Afghanistan. Remember these are not just afghan civilians who helped us. These are american citizens holding american passports who,

for four month did not receive guidance about what to do, and now the country is overtaken by Outlaw criminal gang like the Taliban threatening the least of hundreds, if not thousands of Americans, to say nothing of the strategic consequences of this debacle for the years to come for America and the World Brian right keep in mind. This came. This is where the attack on nine Slash eleven came on. We are coming up on twenty years now. I dont know how President Biden even shows his face at an recent there. The Taliban leader has already made speeches. We cant get our president to make a speech. Taliban went to the palace, gave a little speech with his favorite henchmen around him and rifle next to him, and Taliban leader claims he spent eight years in Gitmo in the victory speech. Now he sits in the Kabul Palace man. This was all self inflicted. We let him out probably never should negotiated with the Taliban. Five from there. We never should, and then we turned. Then we walked away and we were their

colonels and captains. They had no leaders, because the Americans were their leadership, they would filt fight, but when their leaders left, you know what happens better than anyone. You are a military guy. They had no leadership Brian, we have let people out from Gitmo. For twenty years, we should have had military trials for them and summarily skewed most of them as war criminals. Now they are back on the battle field. Thousands of Taliban and Al Qaeda prisons from Afghanistan have been released from prisons in the last few days. Once again back on the battle field and as you said, Afghanistan is the place from which the nine slash eleven attacks were planned and launched ever since Joe Biden announce in the spring that we would withdraw from Afghanistan. I have asked for answers about how we plan to protect ourselves. Thats. Our core interest in Afghanistan is not allowing a group like Al Qaeda or ISIS to gain a safe haven to once again attack the United States. We have never had an answer. You see the consequences of the terrible ill planned

disorganized withdrawal that Joe Biden is responsible for now. He wont even appear on camera to explain the circumstances and what is next for the american people Brian. What do you say to people like you, like President Trump, who said im going to get this endless war? I want everybody out of there. Do you guys have a leg to stand on to be critical of President Biden? Well, Brian. As I said, there is a difference between the decision to withdrawal and how this decision was skewed. The last three presidents have all wanted to get out of Afghanistan. I understand the sentiment buff the consequences of that withdrawal are now being played out on tv, the ill planned and disorganized chaotic withdrawal that Joe Biden oversaw is going to be catastrophic for America for years to come. Look he has announced his decision at the height of the fighting season. He wanted it all troops out by September 11th a politically symbolic date to be sure, but a tactically dangerous one. That is when the Taliban traditionally is reaching peek fighting season.

All he had to do was wait few more month to get into winter month and much more orderly transition and time to get all of these citizens out of Afghanistan as it is now, we have Americans stuck behind enemy lines in Afghanistan with no clear way to get out of the country. Brian, you said Afghanistan, not Kabul, Kabul. They have some hope. Are we going to be sending our choppers into Afghanistan into Jalalabad and Kandahar, where some of our people, allies and Americans might need some help? Are we going to go into harms way and then what, if the Taliban shoot at our shoulder fired missiles take aim at one of these Chinook helicopters? What do we do, then, back in a car that Joe Biden didnt like anymore, so many questions its unfolding in realtime right now and I dont know how it ends, but I hate the way I hate the way what we are experiencing now senator and also there is a story here: the President of Afghanistan disarmed the northern alliance over the last few years.

Why would he do that legitimate fighters, disarmed that would have been able to fight off the Taliban? We have to look into that yeah Brian we do. The situation is so much worse now than it was in two thousand and one the Taliban is in charge of the whole country back then they didnt control the north, look at all of the weapons and equipment they have been able to seize as well and they can claim that they drove America out of Afghanistan in a chaotic, disorganized withdrawal. Brian Al Qaeda has their party hats on and report to, Kabul for training.
