Welcome back to the truth with Lisa Booth. So I wanted to continue the conversation that we've

0:20.0

been having on the show about Afghanistan, but instead of just focusing on the embarrassment,

0:26.0

the debacle of the withdrawal, the embarrassment of the Biden administration, I wanted to look at

0:31.8

what's ahead. What does that embarrassment mean for the United States on the world stage moving

0:37.1
