Summary

This morning, 12 Americans were killed in an attack outside of Kabul airport. Joe Biden could have prevented this devastating loss of life.

0:00.0	We filmed this episode one hour ago and before we even had a chance to publish it,
0:05.7	there was a deadly update. 12 US military service members were killed outside of Kabul Airport.
0:12.9	I believe it's 11 Marines and one US Navy corpsman. My heart breaks to hear this. As some of you know,
0:21.1	my husband was military served in the Navy and he was in the medical corps, so this hits
0:26.6	particularly close to home. The episode today, in the in the episode today, which you'll
0:30.9	hear in just a moment, we talked about Joe Biden's deadly policies in Afghanistan, the choices
0:37.6	that Biden made specifically leading to the carnage that we're seeing right now in Afghanistan.
0:43.2	And how Biden's this is Biden's legacy, right? This is legacy. This is legacy. This is legacy in Iraq.
0:47.1	This is legacy in Afghanistan. The loss of these 12 US service members, it's gut wrenching.
0:53.9	There's no other way to describe this. It's gut wrenching more so since this devastating loss of

1:16.9	Taliban who wants to kill us, who wants to kill Americans. This loss of life was preventable.
1:25.2	It didn't have to happen. Joe Biden is to blame because of the choices he made in watching
1:30.6	this unfold. What comes into my head is I just don't understand why didn't we, the United States,
1:35.7	destroy the Taliban with overwhelming force when we had the opportunity to do so. Why didn't we
1:40.5	bomb the hell out of Al Qaeda in the 12 provinces where they have strongholds in Afghanistan right now?
1:45.1	Why did we allow ISIS K to grow? Why did we give up, Bogram Air Base? Why didn't we, and this is
1:52.9	the key question, why didn't we win this war instead of giving up? I cannot imagine hearing that
1:57.8	knock on your door that a dozen families in the United States are experiencing today knowing that
2:03.3	you're about to be informed that your son was just killed in Afghanistan. The worst moment, a mother
