Mars from Saga here, welcome back to the Realignment.

You look at what Biden is doing with allegedly withdrawing from Afghanistan.

surveilling and bombing Afghanistan.

That is not a departure from the war on terror.

That's the war on terror.

We've got another great show for everyone today.

Saga is out of town this week in Paris, France with his parents celebrating a Wotuzerv

editor at the Daily Beast.
