| 0:00.0 | This is CBSI in the world. I'm John Batchler. Afghanistan. I welcome Bill Racheo, the senior fellow |
| 0:12.0 | foundation for the defensive democracy. He keeps the long-word journal. To comment on, |
| 0:17.3 | remarks by the House Foreign Affairs chairman Michael McCall of Texas using the word shameful |
| 0:24.1 | about the retreat from Afghanistan in 2021. More than that, pointing to China saying |
| 0:32.0 | our retreat from Afghanistan empowered China. More than that, saying our retreat from Afghanistan |
