Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Boxe Extend Show Podcast.

Chris is silly question. Do I trust the Taliban? No, but I trust the capacity of the Afghan military

who is better trained, better equipped and more competent in terms of conducting more.

That is President Joe Biden as America begins the long process of ending 20 years in Afghanistan

and what exactly is going to happen going forward. I am Clay Travis. He is Buck Sexton. This is the

third hour, 15 hours up so far this week. We are rolling into the 16th hour of the program.

Courage you to go subscribe to the podcast. We've had a lot of discussion.

completed. Try to turn it over into an international protective source, which is somewhat what happened

with the NATO. I mean, we're talking about a 20. You think about this. A 20 year war.

Generational. I mean, I'm actually I have a historical interest in the 30 years war of the 17th
