Up next, the truth of Lisa Booth are the Gingrich 365.

So I think along with a lot of you at home, I feel shame, I feel embarrassment about what has

0:12.3

happened in Afghanistan and the complete incompetency at the top from President Joe Biden to

0:19.8

our military commanders who somehow didn't see what has unfolded in the past few days.

0:27.7

We have Americans that have left behind. We have billions of dollars of our taxpayer of money

0:34.2

in the hands of the Taliban via weapons, via aircrafts, via vehicles that will inevitably

0:40.8

probably be used against United States citizens. You probably now have countries like Iran, China,

0:48.8

North Korea, any other bad actors, terrorist groups as well who are now beholden by what they

1:45.6

killing some of those individuals. The Taliban controls the outside perimeter of the Kabul

1:50.7

airports or Americans can't get in. We say we control the inside of the airport. Well that's great

1:55.2

but you have to go through the Taliban to get there. So this is a mess. It is embarrassing. It has
