	From booster shots to diplomatic disputes, the border, fallout from the botched and deadly drone strike in Afghanistan, President Biden is facing major challenges and major questions
	The growing crisis engulfing the White House.
	Hang on, hang on.
	Where was that from, Mr. G?
	Was that Fox?
	Was that Newsmax?
	Was that The Blaze?
	That was CNN?
	That clip?
	Play that clip again, Eric!
	From booster shots to diplomatic disputes, the border, fallout from the botched and deadly drone strike in Afghanistan, President Biden is facing major challenges and major questions this week.
	The growing crises engulfing the White House.
	The growing crises?
	Not crisis, crises!
	engulfing the White House.
	Mark this day down in your calendar, dear friends.
	The worm has turned.
	And yes, they are worms.
	I'm Sebastian Gawker.
	This is America First on the Salem Radio Network, broadcasting across the nation, live streaming on Rumble.
	That's Rumble.com slash SebGawker.
	And I think, are we on Facebook?
	I don't think we're on Facebook.
	I think we're in the sin bin because we tell the truth here.
	That's what we do.
	CNN.
	It's not the only mainstream lying legacy media outlet that is now openly criticizing the Biden administration.
	So what does that mean?
	Does that mean they're paving the way for Kamala to take over?
	And the footage from the border means that her running the White House could be even more disastrous than Joe Biden.
	Let's just look back in time over the last nine months.
	What did this administration inherit?
	Sadly, when Donald Trump left the White House, I was there.
	I was at Andrews Air Force Base on January the 20th, Inauguration Day.
	When he flew from the South Lawn in Marine One to the military base where a handful of us, current staffers, former staffers, and supporters were there to bid him and Melania farewell as they climbed up the steps of Air Force One for the last time, for the time being, and to fly to Florida And it was a tough day.
	He gave a little speech.
	So did Melania.
	Then they climbed the stairs of Air Force One.
	Yes, we'd been battling COVID.
	But before the China virus had hit, we had the largest, strongest economy America and the world had ever seen.
	We have the lowest unemployment figures since the 1960s, and the lowest unemployment for black and Hispanic Americans.
	Why do we even talk about skin color?
	Why do we do that?
	That's the left.
	We're using their language.
	Anyway, I'll finish my sentence.
	The lowest unemployment figures for minorities since record-keeping began.
	Yes, since we actually tallied minority unemployment.
	The memories of jihadi atrocities felt almost historic.
	There were no more weekly or daily videos of beheadings, of immolations.
	The caliphate of ISIS that had spanned multiple countries was gone.
	Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the quote-unquote self-proclaimed caliph of ISIS, was dead.
	Qasem Soleimani, perhaps even more dangerous than Bin Laden, perhaps even more dangerous than Baghdadi, was also dead.
	Removed from the sky by a drone strike that took out Iran's most dangerous general who was responsible for hundreds of attacks.
	They don't hate ISIS.
	They're the same breed as ISIS.
	ISIS may want to be in control, but they're all fundamentalist jihadis.
	Along with Al-Qaeda.
	And now they have $83 billion worth of equipment and training that you paid for.
	And how are they selling that across the Muslim world, Arab and non-Arab?
	We defeated America.
	We didn't just defeat the ruthless, murderous Soviet Union with its helicopter gunships and landmines shaped like toys to maim children.
	We defeated the greatest nation on God's Earth.
	That's how they're selling it!
	And now jihadis are flooding back into this country.
	China is on the rise again, intimidating our friends and partners in South Asia.
	North Korea is again launching ballistic missiles over the Sea of Japan.
	Russia is flexing its muscles with Putin having just one re-election.
	Well, re-election.
	It's just reinstalling himself.
	And Iran?
	Iran is very happy we've left Afghanistan.
	And cannot believe their luck!
	That the senile, decrepit old husk of a politician in the White House is seriously thinking of reinstating the Obama-era JCPOA round deal.
	All this, all this, in the space of less than a year, nine months!
	And the fall of Kabul.
	We're 13 Americans murdered.
	And the response?
	What's the response?
	A drone strike that kills an Afghan aid worker and children.
	America's back.
	Oh, and I didn't mention the sub-deal.
	First time in American history the French have recalled their ambassador because this administration snubbed them in their diesel and nuclear sub-deal with Australia.
	What did they tell us?
	The adults are back?
	Yeah, I'll tell you one thing.
	They may be adults, but they don't love this country.
	And they have no idea what they're doing.
	I'm Sebastian Gawker.
	This is America First.
	Okay, mic's on.
	Here we go.
	Biden versus Trump.
	Biden versus Trump.
	Got that.
	Joe Biden versus President Trump.
	There we go.
	That's one A. And Murray, if you can think of anything.
	Yes, I have.
	Covid colon China's WMD attack.
	I thought you might go with that one.
	That was a good one.
	China's WMD attack.
	Those are the real WMDs.
	Okay.
	So Jen's just phoned for today.
	Mm-hmm.
	By the way, just got word.
	I'll s- oop.
	Let's John text me.
	I'll text you.
	So Jen's on the phone, did I?
	Yeah.
	Yes.
	Just one segment.
	What segment is that?
	Now.
	Okay.
	I think this really is them getting ready to pave the way for Kamala.
	Like they're ready to move on from the tired old white guy trope kind of thing.
	Scary thought.
	Yeah, she'd be ten times worse.
	I'd rather have eight straight years of him than even one day of her.
	I mean it.
	Again, I'm from her former state.
	Hi, I'm calling for Jennifer Horn for a radio interview.
	I disagree.
	She's got no power.
	Hey, it's Jeff.
	Good, hang on, just remember the mics are live on Rumble.
	Mics are live?
	We just can't live without you.
	And I can't live without you guys.
	We like that.
	That makes our heads even bigger.
	How you doing?
	I'm good.
	How was your weekend?
	Good.
	I spent it at my niece's wedding.
	It was lovely.
	Oh, nice.
	Did they get married locally or away?
	No, Nantucket.
	Nantucket, nice.
	My brother-in-law, her father, is the chef at the best restaurant in Nantucket.
	Oh, nice.
	Gosh, that sounds great.
	It's not a bad connection to have.
	No.
	It's not my scene, I have to tell you, Nantucket.
	Every time I walk down the high street, I have to control myself because I'm surrounded by these arrogant gits who have far too much money.
	I was going to say, I can't imagine you strolling through Nantucket.
	In my Nantucket reds, no.
	Not my scene, but I do it for family harmony.
	For the family, exactly.
	You make the sacrifice for the fam.
	Do you mind if I just play a cut before we come in?
	No, not at all.
	Because we've got Todd Bensman coming on and I want to show what he's saying about the 10,000 Haitians under the bridge or whatever.
	Unbelievable.
	Isn't that incredible?
	Cut 11.
	I don't think he could do a worse job if he was trying.
	No.
	Well, let's discuss that.
	Let's discuss that.
	All right, so come in with 11.
	Cut 11.
	It's one minute, five seconds long.
	Does Jen know when they're going to count the two million votes that have been counted yet in California?
	It's unbelievable.
	Oh, I've been watching every day, Jeff.
	I just talked to Larry.
	He's going crazy.
	They keep saying that it's the counties, and it's not the counties.
	I talked to Don.
	Riverside County is almost all done.
	Nobody knows what's going on except it's the Secretary of State just slow walking everything.
	All right, 12 seconds.
	Cutting in with cut 11.
	Standby.
	Stand by.
	Stand by.
	So we are just
	on the Texas side of the Rio Grande River at about the point where thousands and thousands of Haitians are crossing over into the city of Del Rio.
	And there are over 10,000 now that are just being allowed to pour over the border They seem to mostly be Haitians.
	There's also some Cubans among them, but really a vast majority of them seem to be Haitian, the ones that I've talked to.
	That right there is the International Bridge providing some shelter and cover for these immigrants who are being allowed to just cross over.
	They're going to probably be living here for weeks as thousands more come.
	I'm going to show you the underside of this bridge.
	There are just thousands and thousands camped.
	Border Patrol is totally overwhelmed.
	They can't possibly process these people.
	Incredible footage, guys.
	If you're listening on radio, God bless you, but you've got to subscribe to our video feed.
	You need to see that kind of footage.
	That's from Todd Bensman.
	10,000 Haitians here as illegals under that bridge in Del Rio.
	We're going to use that video later, guys, when Todd comes on as a B-roll.
	Let's post it.
	Jeff, please ask John to post that.
	That is just truly mind-numbing.
	I asked her on to discuss something else.
	I think you guys can guess why.
	But she said something in the break.
	She's our first guest of the day.
	She's our West Coast warrior princess.
	Jennifer Horne, you said something that really kind of makes you pause for thought.
	Could Biden... Ask the question you asked, Jennifer.
	I just said, could Joe Biden do a worse job if he tried?
	I mean, this is government failure like we have never seen before.
	He's gotten it wrong.
	on the economy.
	Inflation is crazy.
	He's going to continue to get it wrong on the economy.
	He's getting it wrong on the border.
	He's getting it wrong in Afghanistan.
	He gets it wrong time and time again.
	And it's not just him.
	It's everybody surrounding him.
	We need to be asking ourselves right now, why is the Biden administration sending back all of these Haitians and all of these Cubans who God knows how they even got to Del Rio, Texas?
	They're sitting there.
	Why are those people being sent back?
	And I'm not saying that they shouldn't be.
	At least some of them are being sent back.
	But why are those people being sent back when the administration has done nothing but throw the doors open for the last several months and just let anybody who wants to barge into the country come right in?
	These are people who legitimately have need for asylum.
	Haiti, President Trump had a nice word for it, I don't have to tell you because I'm a lady, but Haiti's got some issues.
	And why are we sending people back there, yet we keep the door open for people marching in from Central America?
	It doesn't make any sense.
	It is not consistent.
	And the people around him are giving him bad advice.
	He is making bad decisions.
	Our intelligence community needs to be held responsible for what's been going on in Afghanistan.
	Joe Biden needs to be held accountable.
	And the Department of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, needs to resign.
	These people do not have any place.
	They are failing us.
	And this has nothing to do with Democrat, Republican.
	If you like President Trump, you don't like President Trump.
	They are failing America right now and somebody has to be held accountable for it.
	Yeah, we're going to talk to Todd who took that incredible footage later in the hour.
	John Solomon will be with us.
	Congressman Jim Jordan and amazing, amazing guest, former British commander for British troops in Afghanistan, Colonel Richard Kemp will be with us.
	But Jennifer, I asked you on the show, and thank you for joining us early this week, what's the latest in the Governor Newsom recall?
	How long are they going to count votes?
	I heard you were talking to Larry Elder earlier today.
	Could you give us an update?
	Yeah, it is.
	It's like the Secretary of State who is newly appointed by Gavin Newsom about four or five months ago.
	She is stalling and she's saying that it's the county's fault.
	All of the county offices that I've talked to said that they've been turning in their vote totals, that they're almost done counting.
	But we have not seen, I mean, they've been adding in a couple thousand votes here, a couple thousand votes there.
	They're still in the 70 percentile.
	What?
	Hang on.
	70?
	What century are we living in?
	Are they delivering it by horse carriage?
	Exactly.
	And this is, I mean, for crying out loud, it's not like there's multiple questions.
	I mean, it was two questions.
	Do you want to recall Gavin Newsom?
	And who would you like to replace him?
	And look, I think everybody knows that Gavin Newsom beat this recall.
	But what we want to know is, are they hiding the real numbers because they want the media to report on the landslide that it was?
	Because this has implications.
	On the midterm elections, and here's some good news, Seb.
	We can take a little good news out of this.
	Joe Biden is loved in California.
	He came to town to meet, you know, to campaign for Gavin Newsom, and these two politicians have a lot in common.
	They do awful things, they're terrible leaders, yet somehow people who are blind liberals run around and vote for them all the time.
	So, in exit polling, which I've been looking into a lot, Joe Biden's favorability, even in the state of California, has slipped.
	His net favorability of 30 points back in 2020 when he ran for president is now down to 19 points.
	That's still a lot, but when you consider that's a huge drop amongst his most loyal of supporters.
	And so if you take that number and you kind of look across the country as we get into midterm season, you're going to see that recall voters that like Joe Biden here in California, they're slipping.
	And I think this will have an effect in the midterm elections.
	I think this paves the way for the GOP to actually do pretty well, because the national polling is consistent with the drop in favorability that we've seen with Joe Biden here in California in the exit polling.
	And so maybe that's one of the silver linings that we pull from this, that Republicans are on the right track.
	And how could they not be?
	I mean, if Republicans can't win with this guy in office making all of these ridiculous and ludicrous decisions, you shouldn't even have to advertise.
	But if we follow the information that we're getting from the exit polls, it looks like it's on the same level with the national polling.
	That would indicate that Republicans should have a pretty easy victory, at least in the House.
	She's the host of the Morning Answer, AM 590, AM 870, The Answer.
	Follow her, at Jennifer Horn.
	What kind of mood was Larry in?
	You said you spoke to him.
	Give us a sense of how he's doing.
	I did.
	He said that losing hurts.
	It hurts a lot more than he thought it would.
	He gave us the final numbers.
	Can you believe that Gavin Newsom raised $200 million to fight the recall?
	$200 million.
	Now, Larry, in the short amount of time that he was in the race, and respectively, raised $20 million.
	And he did it mostly with private donations.
	Newsom was taking in a lot of big money from corporations like Netflix, Facebook.
	And all of the others that you would expect.
	I'm surprised Larry got any votes.
	200 million.
	That's obscene, Jennifer.
	It's more, I mean, when you think about it, twice what Hillary Clinton spent in 2016.
	200 million is what he raised.
	And 20 million is what Larry did.
	He is probably on track to get about three and a half million votes once they finish the counting, which is pretty good.
	So he says he's taking some time.
	He needs some time off because it was a grueling schedule.
	And then he's going to decide what's next, whether that's another run at the Governor, which happens again next year, or if he's thinking of even higher office, which could be interesting.
	Very intriguing.
	God bless you.
	Talk to you Wednesday.
	Jennifer Horne at Jennifer Horne.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka.

	MyPillow.com.
	promo code Gawker that's 800-829-8468 mypillow.com promo code Gawker there we go mic's on yeah as it stands right now
	the vote tally shows uh 3.8 million who voted to recall newsom at right now which is about 2.2 million less than how many people voted for trump in 2020 in california So hang on, hang on, hang on.
	What are the vote tallies for everything?
	Right now, 6.7 million who voted no, 3.8 who voted yes.
	That's 10.6 million overall.
	Again, out of 22 million registered voters.
	So only half of the voters voted?
	Slightly less than half at this point, yeah.
	And what's really sad is... I agree with that.
	With what?
	One of these weird recalls.
	They're always usually way down.
	Yeah.
	But the bottom line is they could have done a lot more.
	The California Republican Party, namely, could have done so much more to at least turn out the $6 million.
	But $200 million!
	That's just nuts.
	It's not how much Jeb Bush spent.
	No, I mean it's more than... It shows that he was really scared for a while.
	He actually believed he might lose.
	The fact that it's not a regular election cycle, too, it's a recall and he spent that much money is ridiculous.
	Yeah, yeah, but it's not next year right now, you know, it's like fighting that fight this early.
	There's no term limits, right, in California?
	There are.
	I think for governor, yes.
	They imposed them after 2010.
	For governor and the state legislature.
	Wow.
	Yeah, two terms.
	Yeah, that's why Brown had to leave.
	Otherwise Brown would have stayed for the rest of his life.
	And I actually miss him, I'm not even gonna lie.
	Brown is much more tolerable than this guy.
	Eric Glendron misses Brown.
	Brown wasn't psycho.
	Like, he knew when to draw the line on some things.
	Like, yeah, this is a little bit, this is a little bit nuts, but Newsome will just... Oh, man.
	Groosome!
	Alright, what's your name?
	Looks like a Batman villain.
	What's your first name?
	Alright, where are you calling from?

	Our number here is 833-33-GORKA, 833-334-6752.
	It's not just Biden.
	It's also Kamala, who's in trouble with the legacy media.
	This is this, I think, wasn't she?
	Bush appointee?
	So strange.
	Stephanie Ruhle.
	Cut three.
	Play cut.
	How about the message from our vice president?
	Where is she?
	She was supposed to be in charge of all of these migration issues, going to those northern triangle countries.
	That's obviously not Haiti.
	That was one of her first international trips with the message, do not come here illegally.
	People aren't listening.
	MSNBC is asking, where's Kamala?
	Well, maybe Jen Psaki has an answer.
	You won't believe it, but she tried.
	Cut four!
	Where's the vice president on any of this?
	Isn't she supposed to be addressing the root causes of migration?
	Absolutely.
	And she has been addressing the root causes of migration by working with countries in the region to ensure they have the assistance they need to reduce the number of people who are coming and trying to make those journeys across the border.
	We've actually seen some reductions in some of those numbers.
	It is truly, it's Baghdad Bob reincarnated in this woman.
	We're seeing reductions in numbers.
	15,000 illegal aliens under a bridge is a reduction in numbers for this woman.
	Todd Benzman filming from his vehicle thousands and thousands and thousands of Haitians.
	is a reduction.
	120,000 Afghans flown out of Kabul is a reduction in numbers.
	They are lying right to your face.
	Let's stay on the topic of Afghanistan.
	Line one, Don in LA.
	Happy Monday, Don.
	Dr. G, we need your rolling thunder voice more than ever now.
	We try.
	We try every single day.
	What's your question?
	What's your comment?
	Well, I had a question for you, Dr. G, since you're a geopolitician par excellence.
	Well, I'm a geopolitician.
	I like that.
	That's the kind of politicians we like, Don.
	Amen.
	And we sure need them now.
	You know, Dr. G, I'm wondering what you think our play is in Afghanistan, because we can't be out because the Talibs are in, al-Qaeda's in.
	They're going to be striking us from there.
	We don't have the luxury.
	Like the man says, the war ain't over till both sides say, and they say it's on.
	So, I'm thinking, you know, this is such a coup for China.
	You know, now they've encircled India.
	They can use pipelines from Afghanistan to China to get Iranian oil there.
	I mean, this is so bad.
	But what's our play?
	I would like to see us, like, on the surface, engage in, like, this smiling diplomacy between Pakistan and India as a chance to wait and stab Pakistan in the back, because they've been stabbing us in the back for 20 years.
	Your thoughts?
	Well, first things first, I want to give full credit to Imran Khan in Pakistan.
	I was informed by the Nazarene Fund today that one of the planes with refugees that were trying to fly out of Mazar-e-Sharif left with the thanks, with the help of Imran Khan, the politician in Pakistan.
	So things are bad in Pakistan, but at least there's one politician who's helping.
	And that's in the face I can't give names, but a friend of mine who is responsible for getting those Americans and those refugees out of Afghanistan told me not even Special Operations Command, it hurts me to say this, not even SOCOM in Florida could get those refugees out.
	It took a Pakistani politician sheer insolenty.
	What's the game plan?
	It's the same as I wrote six years ago in Defeating Jihad.
	It's the same that it was 20 years ago.
	We have to have the capabilities in theatre to whack bad guys, not just drones.
	We have to have a small footprint of special operators who, when the intel is available, because we're on the ground and we have the assets and we can run
	the agents we find the bad guys and we kill them in situ so we can't do that right now because we've pulled out if we had leadership in the white house the next time there is an emergency we deploy and we stay there not not nation building i'm talking about two three hundred two three uh thousand people in theater who can whack the bad guys that's What we need to make sure that no 9-11 happens again.
	Great question, Don.
	Don't go anywhere.
	Mike and Antoinette.
	I'm Sebastian Gawker.
	This is America First on the Salem Radio Network.
	If you're calling us, please guarantee for me you're not calling us from a big cell phone company.

	I believe it was... Here, let me... It's pulled up here.
	Can you just give me the name?
	Got it.
	Yeah, I think it was Lagarde, but let me double check that.
	Yep.
	Yep.
	That was Ligar on, uh... 9AM.
	Frank?
	Frank?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that podcast...
	I'll talk to you about it.
	It's middle of the road.
	Okay.
	Two minutes.
	Two minutes.
	So here's Job Creators and Relief.
	Hey, it's Jeff with Sebastian Gorka.
	How are you?
	Good.
	Just remember, if he talks to you in the break, the mics are live on Rumble during the commercial breaks, all right?
	All right, hang on.
	Hey, Todd.
	Hey, Seth, how are you?
	Good.
	We've already played your footage in the last segment.
	We'll run it as B-roll in this segment.
	When did you film that?
	Yesterday evening.
	Oh, wow.
	So are you still there in Del Rio?
	Yeah, I was in Mexico up until about midnight last night, all day yesterday.
	And now I'm back on the west side in Eagle Pass, Texas.
	All right.
	Amazing footage.
	Amazing footage.
	We're pushing it out right now.
	You're on a cell phone, right?
	Yes, I am.
	There's no landline where you are, correct?
	There is.
	I can get you a landline.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Let's give Jeff the landline.
	We'll call you back.
	OK.
	Bye.
	Jeff, we're on hold.
	Because that was echoing.
	Let's call him back on the landline.
	Okay, 23 seconds.
	Yeah.
	Standby. Standby.
	Standby.
	What's their response?
	More mandates, unprecedented spending and tax increases.
	There is one organization that's prepared to fight and to win the war that is now imminent against small businesses and it's the Job Creators Network.

	I'm Sebastian Gorka.
	This is America First on the Salem Radio Network.
	We showed you earlier that unbelievable footage from our buddy Todd Bensman.
	Let's play it again.
	This is from Del Rio.
	This is the footage of up to 10,000 Haitian illegal immigrants under that bridge.
	Play that footage again, Eric.
	So we are just on the Texas side of the Rio Grande River at about the point where thousands and thousands of Haitians are crossing over into the city of Del Rio.
	And there are over 10,000 now.
	That are just being allowed to pour over the border.
	They seem to mostly be Haitians.
	There's also some Cubans among them, but really a vast majority of them seem to be Haitian, the ones that I've talked to.
	You have him with us right now, Todd Bensman.
	When did you film that unbelievable footage?
	Well, I've been inside the encampment several times now.
	I think that was a few days ago.
	And then yesterday I was in Mexico filming it from the supply line into the camp from Mexico.
	It's really quite a remarkable phenomenon that's happened down there.
	And you're talking to these people?
	You've identified where they're coming from, Todd?
	Yes.
	It looks like the vast majority of them are Haitians.
	There's also some mixed in Africans and Cubans.
	I met an Angolan the other day.
	Hang on, hang on.
	You met an Angolan?
	Yes, I did.
	How does an Angolan even get to America?
	Well, the Angolans, you know, Angola was a Portuguese colony at one point and They have visa waiver between Angola and Brazil, so he just took advantage of that, flew to Brazil, and then had himself smuggled to the southern border.
	And what are you finding in terms of the conditions there and the capacity, or what the federal forces are doing about it, if anything?
	Right, so they are starting to get better organized.
	But the people who are still living in the camp, there are probably about 10 or 11,000 now, as of today, are responsible for their own food supplies, water supplies, and basic necessities.
	And for that, they have created a kind of a trade route over the Rio Grande back into Mexico.
	And they cross the river into Mexico, buy food, and then cross back to the camp.
	And it's really quite a phenomenon to see that.
	I was on that yesterday down there at the river while they were crossing back and forth with food.
	There are port-a-potties there.
	Looks like it's sufficient.
	It is a terrible stench, though, I'll tell you.
	I was in the camp.
	The night before lasts for quite a while.
	People are building shanties out of vegetation, local vegetation.
	They sleep on the ground.
	It is not a pleasant place to be.
	The local people in Del Rio, municipal officials have been worried for days that there would be riots and maybe a breakout or something like that, which is One reason why the Texas Department of Public Safety has moved in all of these troopers and their vehicles and to try to sort of dissuade any trouble.
	And in the meantime, DHS is bringing in school buses and buses of every shape and size and filling them up and taking people about 3,000 a day and a night out to border patrol stations elsewhere where they are processing them into the country.
	Most of these people probably will be processed still into the country.
	Some of them, however, are being flown back to Haiti.
	But, Todd, I don't see any masks here, and I see no social distance in your footage.
	Oh, forget it.
	Yeah, social distancing.
	Yeah, that's a joke.
	They're sleeping very closely together.
	They're crowded together.
	There is masking, but... And have you spoken to any of them?
	Do they tell you why they're here?
	Why they decided to come to America from Haiti or from Angola?
	Yeah, I've done extensive interviews with dozens and dozens of them on the Mexican side.
	And what I can tell you, first of all, is that none of these people are from Haiti.
	Your viewers should know that these are not people who were in the big earthquake or the assassination of the president of Haiti.
	These people have been living in Chile for years.
	Hang on, hang on.
	This is fascinating.
	Hang on, hang on.
	The Haitians you filmed in thousands didn't come from Haiti, Todd?
	No, they did not.
	These people all speak Spanish fluently because they have been living in Chile for anywhere from three to six years.
	So why are they here now?
	Because the expatriate population of Haitians in Chile and Brazil saw that the Biden administration had opened the border.
	Incredible.
	Incredible.
	And they decided to come now to take a chance.
	So this is a reaction to the fact that Joe Biden is now in charge and Kamala Harris as quote-unquote point person for border security is AWOL.
	Incredible.

	We are very concerned that Haitians who are taking this irregular migration path are receiving false information that the border is open.
	or that temporary protected status is available.
	I want to make sure that it is known that this is not the way to come to the United States.
	That is false information.
	The border is not open.
	Mayorkas, we just had somebody film 10,000 Haitians to tell us the DHS is sending buses to Del Rio to pick them up every night, 3,000 of them, and process them.
	You lying piece of excrement!
	How dare you say that to Americans?
	The borders opened because you opened it on the orders of Joe Biden.

	Let's go to your calls.
	Let's go to MikeCaliforniaLine2.
	Hi, Dr. Gorka.
	This recall election in California on November 14.
	Things were definitely rigged in that election.
	My city, we had not one single polling place.
	That's El Segundo.
	We have roughly 16,000 population, about five and a half square miles.
	We're immediately south of the Los Angeles International Airport.
	Hang on, there was no polling station in El Segundo?
	Correct.
	Absolutely correct.
	So we normally have at least three, I think we normally have like five polling places to go vote.
	And so normally, in fact, in the old system, you had to go to your precinct so it was more secure.
	Then the Los Angeles County clerk changed it so that, you know, he changed it so that you can vote at any polling place in the county, which allows even busloads of people to go from one polling place to another and keep voting under different names if they so desired.
	Now, the nearest polling place was actually on the beach, or right by the beach, along the highway that runs along the coast here, outside our city, and it was about one and a half miles away.
	So the nearest polling place was not walking distance.
	It used to be that you could walk to your polling place if you had to.
	So where did you go to vote?
	Did you have to go to that one?
	I went to a different one.
	I went to another nearby city and voted, but you had to vote in another city.
	So you think, despite spending $200 million, they've rigged this one as well, Mike?
	Oh, absolutely, yes.
	Absolutely.
	Because what they did, what the Democrats did, was they had a massive Get out the vote campaign for Democrat voters and people who are against the recall to vote early and to vote by mail.
	That's exactly what they did last year.
	I really appreciate the update, Mike.
	We will continue to discuss.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka.

	T-shirts, hoodies, books, you name it.
	SebWalkerStore.com.
	Okay.
	Let's get back to work.
	Why was I away?
	What were you doing, Dr. G?
	My niece got married.
	God bless you.
	It was beautiful.
	In a location that Isn't my scene.
	But hey, you make exceptions for your family.
	It's a place called Nantucket.
	A little bit frou-frou for my liking.
	But I want to use my trip to Nantucket to illustrate the problem with the left and with America today.
	I have in front of me the Enquirer and Mirror of Nantucket Island.
	And it has above the fold.
	Above the fold means it's a really important story.
	This is the top story from the Inquirer and Mirror.
	Now, Nantucket, for those of you who are not familiar with it, is a Massachusetts island that was the epicenter of the whaling industry.
	I mean, really.
	And historically, it's fascinating.
	The whaling museum The history of Captain Starbuck and everything else super, no it's not Battlestar Galactica, that's actually his name, Captain Starbuck and the rest of the whale, whaling community is really quite fascinating.
	Today it's just full of rich people from Massachusetts driving their jeeps and, I don't know, having cocktail parties.
	Not my thing.
	However, the politics is a mirror onto the left.
	And every 4th of July, they have a fabulous tradition spanning back almost 100 years of the town water fight.
	And the water fight is now almost extinct.
	Why?
	Bear with me.
	One month after Nantucket's police and fire chiefs urged town officials to reconsider large-scale events out of a growing public safety concern, the town's Visitor Services Advisory Committee, doesn't that sound Orwellian?
	You have a Visitor Services Advisory Committee, is considering its own limitations, starting with the 4th of July water fight on Main Street.
	I don't think we're going to see a water fight again anywhere, Culture and Tourism Director Janet Shoulter said at a Visitor Services meeting Tuesday.
	The Fire Chief has been pretty clear that the water fight, in his opinion, is too dangerous, no matter where it is to continue.
	It's just too dangerous.
	On Tuesday, the advisory committee floated a range of ideas to re-imagine, there it is, the phrase, to re-imagine July the 4th.
	Why do we have to re-imagine July the 4th?
	Hasn't it been good enough for more than two centuries?
	To re-imagine July 4th from a kids' water fight at Children's Beach to a full-size fight at Tom Nevers or a tug-of-war.
	Tom Nevers is another locale.
	The concern from Police Chief Bill Putman and Fire Chief Steve Murphy is that events like the 4th of July festivities and Nantucket, Cottage Hospitals, Boston Pops, Benefit Concert have become too big to manage.
	Visitor services estimates the water fight typically attracts about 3,000 people to Main Street.
	The fear is that the police and fire departments might not be able to staff it sufficiently.
	I mean, this is one of the most richest locales, I mean, not in the country, in the world, OK?
	Can't staff it, we'll bloody hire some people for the 90 minutes that it takes, OK?
	Quote, we have been lucky.
	This quote is quite... This is the best part of the article.
	We have been quite lucky not to have incurred a terrible public safety nightmare.
	We're talking about a water fight, by the way, okay?
	So once again.
	We have been lucky not to have incurred a terrible public safety nightmare, said Peter Morrison, a member of the Visitor Services Advisory Committee.
	When I hear 3,000 people, cobblestones, and water, I have to agree that it has to stop.
	The beast must die.
	I mean, really.
	Fourth of July water fight.
	The water fight tradition goes back 30 years.
	The story goes that Flint Rainey, with his 1927 American LaFrance ladder truck, challenged then fire chief Bruce Watts to a water fight with the department's modern truck.
	Anyone caught in the crossfire could expect to be soaked.
	I've been there.
	It's fun.
	It's America.
	But it might end up, and I quote again from this pathetic man who is the incarnation of the American Snowflake, Peter Morrison, of the Visitor Services Advisory Committee, jawohl mein Führer, that we may have a terrible public safety nightmare.
	It's a water fight with water balloons and fire trucks and buckets full of water.
	You are a bunch of cretins.
	I'm gonna do a Nancy here.
	Grow some balls.
	Let's go to your calls.
	Line two.
	Mike, what's the song?
	Hello?
	Hey!
	Yes, doctor, how you doing?
	Good!
	Why did you call my show, Mike?
	Well, you played that song, and it sounded like Procol Harum.
	Procol Harum!
	It was!
	And which song?
	Bringing home the bacon!
	Bringing home the bacon!
	You did it, my man!
	Procol Harum, an amazing band.
	Bringing Home the Bacon, played to you by John, our engineer.
	Stay on the line, Mike, and you will get signed copies of each of my books, dedicated to whoever you wish them to be dedicated to.
	Well done!
	We're mixing it up here.
	Antoinette from California, and it's not even Thursday.
	Welcome!
	Hi, Dr. G. I know it's Monday, it is not Thursday, but I had to call in to go with what our West Coast warrior, Jim, was saying.
	What's so frustrating, and that other gentleman from El Segundo, at our corner on Friday that we were rallying for the Voice for the Voiceless.
	Yes, how did that go?
	How did the latest rally go?
	It went well, but guess what?
	We had some women come by and said, hey, we physically voted, and friends of ours and us, our vote was not tallied for this recall against Gavin Newsom until Thursday.
	Yet, though... Hang on, slow down, Antoinette.
	So they voted and physically went in and it wasn't voted till, it wasn't tallied till Thursday.
	How did they know it wasn't tallied till Thursday, Antoinette?
	They were able to go online and to track where your vote is and if it's been counted.
	And that's how they found out.
	And I'm thinking, oh my God, because I didn't even check mine.
	I went physically Tuesday morning to vote.
	And with all this craziness, it was very disheartening when these women came up to us there at our corner to tell us, hey, you know what?
	And that's when they explained about their vote.
	So what's their suspicion?
	What is their suspicion, Antoinette?
	Definitely, once again, this voting on Tuesday and what happened to Larry and our vote, we didn't win again.
	And what the hell are the Republicans doing?
	Not a heck of a lot, I don't think.
	They've lost.
	We're frustrated and angry, that's for sure.
	Keep the energy high, that frustration, that anger.
	Don't let it eat you up internally, but focus it, you're right, on the GOP.
	The GOP that ostensibly has done nothing to stop the voter fraud of the last election.
	In the meantime, do something useful.
	Listen to Antoinette, make a difference, support those who are investigating the fraud from last year.
	At the forefront of that investigation, America's Mayor, the man who beat the mafia in New York, who brought New York back from the brink of the destruction and the events after September the 11th.
	Support him, RudyGiulianiFreedomFund.com.
	That's RudyGiulianiFreedomFund.com.
	I'm Sebastian Gorka, back with the one and only John Solomon.
	What's, let me, let me see cut to.
	Thank you.
	I know that I was speaking about visiting.
	I think the public needs to know about the transparency, what's happening in the city of Del Rio, Texas.
	And I just feel that the White House definitely needs to address and address the situation in real time.
	Cut nine.
	My analysis of the Durham indictment is that Hillary Clinton is Mr. Big in the middle of all this.
	And so my question would be for Mr. Dorham, have you dragged Hillary Clinton in front of your grand jury yet or not?
	Because enough is enough.
	This Clinton campaign through this law firm was so thoroughly corrupt, using its money to create false evidence.
	against Donald Trump, connecting him to Russia.
	And then she would go out there and talk about how Donald Trump was bought and paid for by Russia.
	She had Pelosi do it.
	The Democrats were all tap dancing and pushing the same issue.
	They're friends in the media.
	So really, what does this come down to?
	You hammered it well on the FBI.
	But Hillary Clinton has always been corrupt.
	She's always been a liar.
	And she's still corrupt, and she's still a liar, and she's never been held to account.
	She needs to be brought in front of the grand jury.
	That's number one.
	Number two, the media are corrupt and filled with liars.
	Virtually everybody... Hey guys, can you hear me?
	John?
	How are you?
	Good, good.
	How's it going?
	Did you see the story I just sent you?
	I wanted to talk about the leaks of page one.
	What did you just send?
	There are hundreds of Navy SEALs are not going to be allowed anymore.
	It's going to be a military crisis.
	I just broke it two minutes ago.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Let's start with that.
	Let's start with that.
	Great.
	Great, great, great.
	All right.
	All right, let me just repost it right now.
	I hear myself in my headphones, right?
	Okay, there we go.
	How you doing, Sean?
	I am well.
	How are you?
	Good, good, good, good.
	Took Friday off.
	Went to my niece's wedding.
	Good for you.
	Congratulations.
	Those are always fun.
	Breaking this will lead to a... Actually, you know what?
	Yeah?
	Do I have a reader at the top here?
	Come in with Tucker on 10 and that'll be a nice segue into John's piece.
	You got it.
	Coming in with cut 10.
	That's pretty funny.
	It's just over one minute.
	Yeah, that's right.
	It's a rather long cut, but it's a good segue, John.
	Just stand by.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	And we've got two segments to work with here.
	50 seconds.
	Oh, excuse me.
	Oh, by the way- They've been licking- listening to Nicki Minaj.
	What?
	Oh, I was- I was talking to, uh, John Jr.
	Just letting him know that, uh, I wasn't hearing the liners, the intro liners.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's- it- they're on.
	Okay.
	They're on, yeah.
	Sorry, yeah, Nicki Minaj, that is, uh, watching my friends debate the merits of that one is quite- Because there are some who are like, yeah, we got her on our side.
	And I was like, why are we listening to this woman?
	Like, she doesn't care.
	I mean, yeah, everyone entitled to their own opinion.
	Sometimes, you know, they get them right.
	15 seconds standing by.
	15 seconds.
	Say bye.
	Dr.
	G is in the house on America First.
	You know, as many times as we say it out loud, it's pretty unbelievable that Eric Swalwell, a member of the House Intel Committee, had sex with a Chinese spy called Fang Fang.
	It's remarkable.
	It's also remarkable that Patrick Donahoe is a major general in the U.S.
	Army.
	Now, he's a general, but he doesn't seem as interested in keeping the country safe as he does in promoting a very specific political point of view.
	So he spends most of his time apparently online harassing political opponents of the Biden administration.
	Last week, General Donahoe was lecturing a student at Hillsdale College on the merits of mandatory vaccines.
	Hey Hillsdale, come get your boy, wrote General Donahoe.
	That guy's really a general?
	That's when another user asked this, quote, Hey, General, how many wars have you won?
	Now, rather than asking that question, honestly, of course, the answer is zero.
	Patrick Donahoe responded this way, quote, Don't be a shill for Putin.
	So here you have a major general in the U.S.
	Army accusing, apparently, an American citizen of being a, quote, shill for Putin because that person criticized Joe Biden.
	That shocking, shocking little segment from Tucker's from a few months ago, but it demonstrates the peril we are in when it comes to national security, that we have politically correct major generals who are commandants of the infantry center of Exeter's train facility, calling students who ask reasonable questions, shills for Moscow.
	Well, it's not just the top, it's also our actual operators.
	We have breaking news from John Solomon of Just The News that will be very, very impactful to our capacity to actually wage wars even when the generals don't know what they're doing.
	John, welcome back to America First.
	What is the story that you just sent me just literally seconds before you came on air?
	It literally just broke.
	So we have talked to two lawyers and a minister representing several hundred Navy SEALs, the most elite special operators our military trains.
	In fact, it costs a half million dollars just to train a single SEAL.
	So these are people we put a lot of investment and trust in and they deliver with extraordinary courage and all the operations we know about.
	They're being told that if they don't get the vaccine, the COVID vaccine, They will no longer be able to deploy with their SEAL teams.
	Essentially, they will be sidelined and their SEAL careers will be over.
	This is very important because some of these SEALs have already had COVID, so they believe they have natural immunity, don't need the vaccine, and others of them have a religious objection to it.
	They do not believe that there's enough data on the safety to inject it into their body yet.
	They're asking for more time.
	They're not anti-vaccine because they take lots of vaccines as part of their deployments.
	They're just concerned about the safety data on this particular vaccine.
	And the Pentagon's response, according to two lawyers and one of their ministers, is that if you don't get it, you're not going overseas again.
	Well, in that case, our capacity to deal with terror threats will be drastically diminished.
	We don't have an unlimited supply of seals, John, so this is a very serious impact upon our capacity to keep Americans safe.
	What we're hearing.
	Remember, there are only 2,500 SEALs total according to the public documents we know.
	These guys get deployed multiple times.
	Remember Team 6, the brave team that captured and killed Osama bin Laden?
	That's the type of people we're talking about.
	The frontline warriors.
	The very best we have.
	Anywhere from 300 to 600 is the estimate of SEALs, I'm told, aren't willing to get the vaccine yet or objecting to the vaccine, either on religious grounds or safety grounds or other reasons.
	You're talking about maybe as many as a quarter of our SEALs.
	And one of the lawyers said, listen, these aren't the management of the SEALs.
	These are the frontline shooters, the top people we have that are raising these concerns.
	This could be a military readiness crisis very quickly.
	And just to be clear, any special force, any military force in general, but especially, you know, the door kickers, the operators, if you take out the management layer, what you have at any one time is split into three parts.
	One third of the Actually troopers have to be deployed on missions.
	One third is resting and recuperating while the other third are preparing to deploy.
	So when you take it down to 700 in one rotation and maybe half of those for various reasons won't be able to deploy, you've actually halved the number of people who can be deployed to take out the next Taliban-protected al-Qaeda camp that has been flourishing because of the decision last month.
	Shocking news.
	Very grateful to you.

	Every single day I get a lineup of the most important stories at the top this morning.
	Unbelievable.
	I mean, when you think it cannot get more incestuous We have this story that the judge, well, talk to us about Lisa Page and this federal judge, John.
	So the federal judge that's overseeing the Sussman case, that is the lawyer Michael Sussman, who last week was indicted by John Durham.
	Well, that judge is married to a woman who is a lawyer.
	For Lisa Page, the FBI former counsel who resigned after her text messages, her anti-Trump text messages came out and raised concerns about bias inside the FBI.
	So it is a small town.
	This town is full of conflicts, right?
	And this is a great example.
	So we thought we'd just point it out, just connect the dots for people that ever, people make their decisions.
	But the judge who will preside over the Sussman case has a connection to one of the most famous people, That became public in the FBI Russia collusion story.
	Okay, so let's imagine that our three million listeners have just landed from Betelgeuse and they have no idea who these names are.
	Let's just paint the picture here.
	The only person to be indicted from the investigation of the Russia hoax by John Durham This lawyer who is central to the propagation of the lie that there was collusion between the Trump campaign and Moscow, that individual who was indicted just hours before the Statute of Limitations expired last weekend, the judge who is involved in that indictment,
	is married to the lawyer of the woman who was having an affair with the chief FBI proponent of the investigation against the Trump administration.
	I'm no lawyer, John, but isn't that prima facie evidence for instant recusal?
	It should be.
	I mean, the experts are split on this today.
	They've been giving advice all over the place.
	But listen, a common-sense person, right?
	A common-sense person just looking, hey, we want this to be a fair trial.
	We want to have confidence in the outcome.
	Do we really want a judge who's married to a person who's representing someone who spewed anti-Trump sentiments while pursuing Donald Trump using the criminal powers of the FBI?
	I think a lot of people have to ask that question.
	I think most common-sense Americans will say, no, we don't want that.
	Fix this.
	Clean this.
	Get another judge.
	Your expectation of somebody who's been a swamp watcher for many decades now, will this judge stay in control of this case?
	What do you think, John?
	You know, I've been working on judicial conflicts for 30 years.
	I remember I found a judge who actually owned stock in a case he was presiding over, didn't disclose it, and he didn't recuse.
	It had to go all the way to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court before he was forcibly recused.
	That was 30 years ago.
	I think judges are loathe to jettison themselves from a case after they're assigned.
	This may have to go up the disciplinary branch and see if someone higher weighs in, but we'll see.
	I mean, the judge has the first shot.
	But in the past, judicial ethics in conflicts have often been something that, unless a lot of attention is shined on them, they don't actually result in any recusals.
	Yeah, and to say that this is an incestuous town is really understating it.
	We're going to keep talking with John after the break.
	In the meantime, go to Twitter, follow him right now.
	Jay Solomon reports.
	He is the founder of one of the few media institutions with integrity in this nation.
	It's justthenews.com.
	I'm Sebastian Gawker.
	This is the Salem Radio Network.
	Mike's back on.
	I'd like to get your take on the media coverage of the Gabby Petito story.
	Is there something else that you want to discuss?
	Uh, you know, it's, uh, on that one, listen, they love crime over having to follow all the criminality in Washington, right?
	They've given ten times the coverage to that.
	And listen, it's a terrible tragedy.
	Nobody wants to see that.
	No, that's what I want to talk about.
	I want to talk about proportions.
	It's just crazy.
	Right.
	Um, yeah, I think that's it.
	Listen, I think the other thing is the debt ceiling.
	It's, this is an interesting moment for conservatives to determine whether they're going to draw a line in spending or whether they're going to be complicit in it.
	Okay, good.
	Excellent.
	Oh, and, and...
	I'll play, um... Play the Chuck Todd thing for me.
	Chuck Todd.
	Six.
	Yes, it's a minute and four.
	Well, look, I think he's got a pretty big credibility crisis on his hands because all of these problems, in some ways, showed up after he said Something basically the exact opposite.
	Afghanistan withdrawal wasn't going to be messy.
	This wasn't going to look like Saigon.
	The booster shots, he came out and essentially said eight months and even indicated maybe we should start it as soon as five months.
	Now we're not sure if anybody under 65 is going to get a booster shot.
	So, you know, he's had, and of course the border has been, you know, whether this, you could, we can talk about the border problems, you could say there's years in the making, but it's pretty clear we have a bigger problem now than we've had in years, and this is a, these policies have turned into becoming a magnet.
	So, it's got a lot of work to do.
	The UN speech, look, he's got some credibility issues on the world stage.
	Okay.
	When he says the word magnet, you can put it down.
	We'll go to John.
	Alright, so let's come in on that.
	Alright, come in on that and magnet turn it.
	Titles.
	Oh.
	Horn and Benzman.
	Benzman.
	Yeah.
	Where the Haitian illegals are really coming from.
	Okay.
	Horn, um… Recall vote, colon, does Newsom still have, is Newsom hiding something?
	Newsom hiding something, okay?
	Yep.
	On line four, haven't they done something about that?
	Hasn't Abbott done something about that?
	They sent some, what did Abbott, let me look, remember?
	Yeah.
	Obviously, it's not making a difference.
	Just over one minute.
	Yeah, Eric, I'm going to pop a car disclaimer in front of this.
	Peace out.
	Thank you.
	Yeah.
	Car disclaimer.
	You got it.
	Yep.
	Okie dokes.
	Coming in with cuts.
	Six, partially at least.
	And it's magnet.
	I'll turn the mics on and put it down.
	These policies have become a magnet.
	Yeah, you pot it down and I'll just cut back to their cameras.
	Okay.
	30 seconds.
	Standing by. Standing
	by. Standing by.
	Well, look, I think he's got a pretty big credibility crisis on his hands because all of these problems, in some ways, showed up after he said something basically the exact opposite.
	Afghanistan withdrawal wasn't going to be messy.
	This wasn't going to look like Saigon.
	The booster shots, he came out and essentially said eight months and even indicated maybe we should start it as soon as five months.
	Now we're not sure if anybody under 65 is going to get a booster shot.
	So, you know, he's had, and of course the border has been, you know, whether this, you could, we can talk about the border problems, you could say there's years in the making, but it's pretty clear we have a bigger problem now than we've had in years, and this is a, these policies have turned into becoming a magnet.
	So, it's got a lot of work to do.
	Incredible.
	Chuck Todd, who is a reliable cheerleader for the Democrats and for the Biden administration, just rattling off a number of crises and laying them at the feet of the current incumbent.
	Let's ask somebody who believes in unbiased reporting, the creator of justthenews.com.
	John Solomon, we played a cut in the first hour from CNN talking about multiple crises.
	Then you have Chuck Todd, you have Stephanie Ruhl and others.
	Is something happening in the mainstream media, John?
	You know, I wrote a story the other day that said that buyer's remorse is starting to set in, even among people who embraced Joe Biden early.
	The media is clearly one of them, and Chuck Todd was a great apologist for Joe Biden all last year and into the beginning of this administration, as was CNN and MSNBC.
	We also see an enormous amount of buyer's remorse from our foreign allies.
	France, Great Britain, grave concerns about the way Joe Biden conducts things.
	And I know he just said in the clip there that it's an issue of credibility.
	I think the American voters see something different.
	It isn't just credibility, it's competence.
	We don't blow up people who are innocent with a predator drone and call it a righteous strike.
	We don't open the border and bring COVID into our country.
	That's just a competence question.
	I think the bigger issue that Joe Biden's presidency is going to grapple with long term is, is he a competent president?
	Did we vote for someone who sounded good but can't deliver?
	And I think that competence issue is becoming much, much more poignant for the American electorate.
	Yeah, that's why you're a regular guest.
	It's not about credibility, it's about competence.
	You don't have the credibility if you don't have the competence.
	John, staying on media coverage, look, it's a tragic story.
	If she was murdered, the murderer needs to be arrested, charged and, you know, tried.
	But the Gabby Petito story, How much more are we going to see coverage of this in comparison to, you know, the 7 people, the 12 people, the 10 people murdered every weekend in Chicago?
	Is there some problem with the mainstream coverage?
	Is it because she's white and she's blonde or because it's salacious?
	Why don't we have coverage for days and days and days about one shooting in Baltimore?
	Yeah.
	Well, listen, that's a really fair question.
	It's a question that most Americans ask at the dinner table in the living room.
	She's gotten way more coverage than the crisis of the Haitians that are in that area underneath the bridge.
	That is squalor that American government has allowed to create.
	Those people are in danger just because of the health conditions We brought there, never mind the fact that the policy brought them here with a false promise they were getting into the country.
	There are so many other issues that the media ought to be covering that have larger, magnanimous consequences for the country.
	Listen, what happened to that woman is terrible.
	It's a tragedy.
	It sounds like a horrific murder.
	We hope that someone is brought to justice quickly.
	But does it take up as much time in our public conscience as some of these other issues?
	I think that's a good debate for a lot of consumers today.
	It's part of the reason why I think so many people have turned off the nightly news.
	So many people have turned off the mainstream media.
	They see efforts at weapons of mass distraction.
	Let's cover this over here so we don't have to tell you all the crises going on in Washington.
	I fear that's how a lot of viewers see this story, albeit a tragic one.
	We wish her family well.
	We don't want anyone to go through the suffering that I'm sure that mom and dad have gone through the last few days.
	Well, that's why they're tuning into Just The News.
	Check out John's podcast as well.
	Follow him on J. Solomon Reports.
	60 seconds left.
	You mentioned an upcoming political issue that could be a real test.
	What are you thinking about in terms of Capitol Hill?
	The debt ceiling.
	We're about to hit that debt ceiling and this will be a moment of conscience for conservatives.
	Will they hold the line and finally stop all this spending or will they bend like they always have in the past?
	A very big moment where the conservative movement can make a statement about where they stand on government spending.
	Yeah.
	It is the test of true conservatives.
	If we stop spending the money of our grandchildren and our grandchildren, that's the test of whether both parties continue to behave like drunken sailors on payday.
	Thank you, John.

	We are delighted to be joined by none other than Congressman Jim Jordan.
	So much to discuss.
	I asked you in the break, Congressman Jordan, I'm going to ask you on air in front of our millions of listeners and viewers.
	Why is Nancy Pelosi being so quiet of late, Congressman?
	Well, what good is there to be with you, Sebastian?
	What goodness do you have to talk about?
	I mean, the border's a mess.
	We got 40-year high inflation.
	We had the debacle that was the withdrawal from Afghanistan.
	You got crime rising in every city.
	They're trying to give people amnesty.
	I mean, you can't pick an issue.
	We went from energy independence under President Trump to, think about this, to the President of the United States actually begging OPEC to increase production.
	So what can she talk about?
	And now she's faced with this, you know, fund the government by September 30th.
	The reconciliation package, the 3.5 package, the 1.2 so-called infrastructure package, and on and on, and the debt ceiling issue, all those things coming due here in the next couple weeks.
	So, she doesn't have a whole lot of good to talk about.
	Because they've messed up every single policy area, every single thing they've tried to do, they've made worse.
	Now, we've played the cuts in the last two hours here on America First, the CNN, MSNBC in the last couple of days, calling out this administration, instead of being the cheerleaders, talking about the multiple crises that Biden has created.
	Does this mean the honeymoon's over?
	Does it mean they're prepping the field for Kamala?
	How significant is this, Congressman?
	Well, no, they're still the mainstream press.
	I think it's just a reality that they have to say something negative because, like I said, there isn't anything good happening with this administration and the Schumer Senate and the Pelosi House.
	So I think they have to give a little bit of reality to the American people.
	Now, it's not going to be much.
	They're still trying to cover for these folks and cover for the left and support all the crazy policies, but they have to be a little bit honest.
	So I think that's all it is in the end.
	Look, we know what has to happen.
	We've got to elect Republicans in midterm elections in 13 and a half months, and then we've got to have President Trump back in the White House on January 20, 2025.
	I mean, that's how it has to go if we're going to get things back on track where they were just eight, nine, ten months ago under President Trump.
	We need to get him back to that area.
	Here, here, absolutely.
	Representing Ohio's beautiful 4th Congressional District.
	Follow him, Jim underscore Jordan on Twitter.
	He has under his bio, hashtag, do what we said.
	When it comes to policies that are ruinous for this nation, the footage of 15,000 illegal aliens under that bridge in Del Rio, is there any imagery, Congressman?
	That will stop them and help us to close the border?
	Well, yeah, implement the policies that work.
	Tell the world you're actually going to build the wall like President Trump did.
	Tell the world you're going to put back in place the Mexico, Remain in Mexico policy.
	Tell the world you're actually going to support Section 42 and not under the COVID concerns.
	You're going to implement that and enforce that instead of having less of that enforced every single month.
	So do the things that work instead of what they do today.
	I mean, think about this about what they do today.
	They announced that if you're a foreign national coming here legally, you got to have a COVID vaccine.
	But oh, if you're on the border, if you're on the border, come on in all 13,000.
	No checking for whether you got COVID or not when you come into our country, unless you're actually coming in here legally.
	And what did they try to do with this big $3.5 trillion package?
	They're trying to give amnesty to 8 million illegals, 8 million people who came here illegally.
	So they don't get it.
	The American people do, though.
	And that's why you see Biden's numbers as low as they are and why I think we're going to win back the House.
	And hopefully the Senate in next year's election.
	Well, it's up to us.
	He's the ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, jim.house, jordan.house.gov is the webpage.
	Congressman, I don't think we've spoken since the 20th anniversary of September 11th.
	Your reaction that the current incumbent, the man who sadly bears the title President and Commander-in-Chief, didn't give a speech anywhere on the anniversary?
	Well, again, what a day for our country.
	You know, what a tragic day, but also a day when, after that, our nation came together.
	And I thought, you know, on September 11th, the 20th anniversary, I thought, what a contrast between President Biden and former President Trump.
	President Trump showed up unannounced to thank the people who are on the front lines every single day, to thank the police officers, the firefighters, the first responders.
	And he was given an unbelievable reception and welcome by those individuals because they know what you and I know, that he truly cares about them.
	And unlike the Democrats who continue to talk about defunding the police, he actually knows we should fund our military, take care of our veterans, and make sure our police have the resources they need to do their job.
	So I thought that was quite a contrast.
	30 seconds left.
	Are you satisfied by what the establishment GOP is doing to prevent voter fraud in the next election in the midterms?
	Well, the states are pushing back, and that's a good thing.
	And the other thing I think is going to help us is everyone's on notice.
	We're all going to be watching so closely in the next election.
	That is going to help us.
	We're going to have lawyers and poll watchers and poll workers there.
	That's going to help us.
	And then things like have happened in Georgia and Texas and Florida, where they're actually making sure their election laws are as tight and as good and guarantee the integrity of the election.
	That's what we need to do.
	That's how our federal system works, and that's a great thing.
	Yeah.
	It's up to us, guys.
	Volunteer.
	Become one of those poll workers, one of those volunteers, so we can guarantee our republic and prevent voter fraud.
	Follow this man at Jim underscore Jordan, one of the true patriots on Capitol Hill.
	Thank you, Congressman.

	Can you play me eight?
	Eight.
	You know what I say, as for a landlord, I'm very grateful that I'm allowed to occupy so much space in Donald Trump's brain rent-free.
	You know, I'm not talking about him, but yes, he still wants to talk about the September 29, 2020 debate.
	You know.
	I want you to react to that, Jeff.
	He fails to even properly deliver the punchline.
	All right, 15 seconds.
	Come in with that or no?
	No, I'll tee it up.
	You'll tee it up.
	All right, stand by.
	Standing by.
	On the side of the U.S. Constitution, Constitution, America first.
	Chuck, Ohio, line four.
	Welcome, Chuck.
	How you doing?
	Good.
	Thank you for taking my call.
	Sure.
	Listen, I'm 70, I'm 72 years old and I have a few questions.
	You got one question.
	One.
	Why is Arizona and Texas, along with Ted Cruz, not putting The National Guard at our borders, when they want to use the National Guard because we don't have enough bus drivers in school.
	But they are, Chuck.
	They are.
	Well, the Governor of Texas did.
	Why are they not shutting it down?
	The Governor deployed troops to the southern border and Senator Cruz is a Senator.
	He doesn't get to deploy the National Guard.
	I understand that, but why don't they all get together and try and do this?
	Well, they're trying.
	They're trying.
	Back in August, the Texas governor deployed National Guard troops.
	But there's a limit to what they can do, right?
	And there's also funding.
	When the National Guard deploys for a war... Chuck!
	Chuck!
	Who pays for the National Guard when they deploy?
	We do.
	Yeah, the federal coffers do, right?
	So who's going to fund it?
	The private sector pays for everything.
	All right.
	The private sector pays for everything.
	I understand that.
	I understand that, Chuck.
	I understand that.
	So what I'm getting at is if they want the National Guard to do, let the National Guard take the buses, Up to Washington.
	Drop everybody off.
	I like that.
	I like that idea.
	I like that idea.
	Excellent idea.
	We want to see more of what Abbott is doing.
	More of it, not just statements here and there, as well as the other border states.
	Chuck, stay on the line.
	We'll get you a signed copy of the War for America's Soul.
	But I have to squeeze in before our special guest in the third hour, the British commander in Afghanistan, Richard Kemp, Colonel, retired.
	There's a clip that really tells you who Chris Wallace is.
	Cut eight, play cut.
	You know what I say, as for a landlord, I'm very grateful that I'm allowed to occupy so much space in Donald Trump's brain rent-free.
	You know, I'm not talking about him, but yes, he still wants to talk about the September 29, 2020 debate.
	You know.
	You know, you know.
	I'm a little biased.
	I think that's pathetic.
	But I have to ask Mr. G, what do you think of Chris Wallace and that little clip we have there?
	He's had that plan for weeks and he didn't deliver it very well, is the first thing.
	And the second thing... He should have put it in the teleprompter, shouldn't he?
	Exactly.
	That's the only time he's good with it.
	But that's all the media and people like him, they're still talking about Trump all the time.
	So who's living who in whose head went free?
	Exactly.
	You are such a sad little man, Chris Wallace, and this is going to hurt the most.
	You will never be your father.
	I know you've been trying for a long time.
	You're just a sad, sad registered Democrat.
	Who never was a journalist and who never will be a journalist.

	American Consequences
	The End
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Because I was never prouder than when I was decorated by the 82nd Airborne after the capture of Moustakala.
	It was a huge privilege, a huge privilege to be recognized by such an extraordinary unit in combat.
	To see their commander-in-chief call into question the courage of men I fought with.
	To claim that they ran is shameful.
	Those who have never fought for the colours they fly should be careful about criticising those who have.
	Truly unprecedented from the floor of the Houses of Parliament, an individual, full disclosure, who served in the same unit I served in, in the British Territorial Army, the Intelligence Corps, who happens to be the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Tom Tugendhat, Colonel Tugendhat, I think for the first time ever in the British-U.S.
	relations, calling in contempt a sitting Commander-in-Chief, the current incumbent of the White House, Joe Biden.
	How did we arrive here and what is to be done?
	We have a very, very special guest with us today for America First one-on-one.
	An individual who I've been following for years.
	He just popped up on a fabulous podcast in the UK by my buddies Trigonometry.
	Colonel Richard Kemp.
	Welcome to America First one-on-one.
	Thank you, Seb.
	It's a real pleasure to be with you, to join you from the other side of the Atlantic side.
	Yes, you are a troublemaker par excellence, and that's what we love here on America First.
	So for those who aren't familiar with you, why not follow this man right now?
	He has a Twitter account that is a must-follow.
	It is simply Colonel Richard Kemp.
	He has an SA80 bayonet at the top.
	I don't know why.
	It's a garbage bayonet.
	Looks good, looks cool, but it's not a very good bayonet.
	We can discuss that later.
	For those who are not familiar, With you, your work, your background, we're broadcasting across the nation, thousands, no, what am I, three million listeners, and then whoever many watch us on video.
	Tell us, who is Richard Kemp, who did you serve with, and what do you do right now?
	Well, I was an infantry soldier in the British Army, which explains the bayonet, because the bayonet is the symbol of the British infantry.
	Whether it's practically a great weapon or not, it's got a fantastic history.
	In which we tend to stick it into our enemies at every possible opportunity.
	But I served in the Royal Indian Regiment, which is the finest regiment of the line in the British Army.
	On many occasions, I served with U.S.
	forces in countries as diverse as the Balkans, Afghanistan, Iraq, and the United States, many other countries.
	And I always had the highest possible respect for the U.S.
	soldiers and Marines at the airports and Navy that I served with during my time.
	I was commander of British forces in Afghanistan back in 2003 at the early stages of the campaign.
	And after that, I was in charge of the international terrorism intelligence assessment in the prime minister's office, the cabinet office in London.
	And since then, I've basically been working pretty much for myself.
	I've been involved with corporate security.
	I do some consultancy work, and I do quite a bit of writing and media commentary, among other things.
	And he is a very, very outspoken individual.
	That's what we love here.
	Follow him, Richard-Kemp.com.
	That's Richard-Kemp.com.
	Let's dive straight in.
	The man who sadly bears the title President of the United States in his speech after the surrender of Kabul called it, quote, the best decision.
	It was the right decision.
	You fought in theater with U.S.
	troops.
	Your reaction to that description of the fall of Kabul?
	It was the worst decision.
	It was the wrong decision.
	And not only was it the wrong decision, it was very badly executed.
	The reason it was a wrong decision was because we were there for one reason.
	We weren't there to turn Afghanistan into Surrey or to Massachusetts or wherever it might be that you're thinking of.
	We were there to know whether we were there to give democracy to Afghanistan or equal rights for all.
	We were there to fight terrorism.
	That was our mission.
	First of all, to eliminate al-Qaeda and the Taliban, who carried out the most horrific terrorist attack in the history of the world, which killed actually more Britons in 9-11 than had been killed in any other terrorist attack before or since.
	So we had a big dog in the fight.
	And the reason we were there was first of all to clear them out and then to ensure that Afghanistan didn't again become A hub for terrorism from which our countries in the West could be attacked.
	That was the purpose.
	That purpose has not changed.
	The threat remains.
	It's probably greater today than it was in 2001.
	So we should not have come out.
	We should have remained in Afghanistan.
	We should have kept at least the number of forces that were there before Biden commenced his withdrawal.
	And probably we should have put at least a few more in to ensure we could conduct our mission effectively.
	We certainly shouldn't have pulled out entirely.
	But once the decision was taken to pull out, it was taken to pull out wrongly.
	We should not have done it in the way we did it.
	First of all, we didn't really give the Afghans long enough to get used to the idea.
	Even here in Britain, the Foreign Secretary, in evidence he gave to the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Select Committee, he said that even Britain didn't really believe America was going to pull out.
	And if we didn't believe it, you can be sure that the Afghan government didn't believe it.
	And so there wasn't long enough for them to reorientate themselves to prepare for a completely changed situation.
	And not only that, we did it at the height of the Taliban fighting season.
	We did it at the time where they're most powerful.
	If we'd waited until autumn or winter, that would have been a different picture.
	We would not have seen the pictures we saw coming out of Kabul with British, American and other international forces withdrawing under fire, running away effectively from a victorious Taliban.
	And finally, I think we should have Commenced the evacuation much earlier than we did the serious evacuation of our citizens and people who depended upon us and who we depended upon during the campaign, mainly interpreters.
	That should have been begun the minute Biden decided to pull out.
	It wasn't.
	It was it was kind of left because the intelligence assessment was that the forces and the government in Afghanistan would be able to hold on until the end of the year.
	And so we ended up in the most, I think, I would consider the most disastrous foreign policy and defence situation that the West has ever experienced since the Second World War.
	Let me gingerly push back on what you said.
	You said the mission was a counter-terrorism mission.
	I think that's what the mission was and should always have been.
	But at least from our perspective, and I say this as a former DoD civilian, as a strategist in the White House, what I witnessed under 20 years was inordinate mission creep.
	And talking to our guys at BRAC, talking to our service warfighters here, it was every, every ten months the mission changed.
	Instead of whacking AQ or removing the Taliban, it was building hospitals, trying to finish the ring road around Kabul that not even the Soviets managed to do.
	So, the mission, what you describe is what the mission should have been, but wasn't because of politicians who didn't understand.
	Do you concur?
	Yeah, I agree.
	It was the mission, but it wasn't really accepted as the mission.
	And, you know, in Britain, we had a left-wing government for the majority of that campaign.
	And that left-wing government was not really willing to explain to its supporters that we were trying to fight and kill our enemies in Afghanistan, which is exactly what we were trying to do.
	They wanted to put it across as, you know, as rebuilding a country, as creating human rights.
	eradicating drugs, etc.
	And in fact, to the extent that all laudable aims, all things we should have been trying to do, but that's not the reason we were there.
	There are plenty of other countries in the world that have these problems that don't demand that British and American soldiers lose their lives to achieve them.
	Those were secondary issues.
	But even the defence secretary, John Reid, at one point during the campaign, just before we deployed a large number, increased number of forces, from British Army into Helmand province, which was the most intensive fighting that our forces took part in.
	He said, we're hoping to go there without a shot being fired.
	And it was probably the most intensive military campaign in terms of both combat and people killed and wounded in action that we had experienced probably since Korea, maybe even since the Second World War.
	We are talking to Colonel Richard Kemp, former British commander in Afghanistan.

	Thank you.
	We are continuing our discussion with Richard Kemp here on America First One on One. - Yeah.
	Richard, if I may switch back to that unbelievable statement from Tom Tugendhat, who, full disclosure, I know him as well, not simply because we hail from the same British unit originally.
	Can you put that comment, can you put his speech from the floor of the Palace at Westminster into historic context and into the context of our special relationship between the United States and the UK?
	Are you and he outliers or has a very serious blow been dealt to the special relationship?
	Well, I would say one thing.
	I fully agree with him on the issue that he mentioned in the clip you played, which was The president of the United States, the commander in chief of the United States Armed Forces, no less, accused the Afghan National Security Forces of being cowards.
	He said, why would we fight for them if they won't fight?
	That was, I think, one of the most disgraceful statements I've ever heard from any president of the United States, certainly in my lifetime and in all the times I've been following what presidents have said.
	I've never heard anything like that.
	These soldiers, Afghan soldiers, fought and died alongside American troops and alongside British troops.
	In the last seven years alone, 50,000 of them were killed fighting the Taliban.
	50,000.
	That is two thirds of the size of the current British army fighting the Taliban, were killed fighting.
	now that is not cows that's i think that was i i I agree with him.
	We lost you there for a second.
	Can you continue where you said that those weren't cowards?
	We lost you there.
	Those soldiers were not cowards.
	They were extremely brave men.
	They were fighting and dying alongside British and American soldiers.
	And, you know, the reason that they no longer fight today is...
	We lost him again.
	We lost you again.
	Richard, we lost you again.
	Let's dial up Colonel Kemp again.
	Can you dial him up, please?
	How long do you think we lost there?
	Six minutes left.
	Six minutes left?
	Yeah.
	Hello?
	Yes.
	Hello?
	Yes.
	Hello?
	Yes, are you there?
	I'm there.
	Are you there?
	Yes, yes.
	Good.
	All right.
	I don't know what that was.
	You just froze there.
	So we'll just start again from those weren't cowards in Afghanistan.
	Those soldiers that died fighting alongside British and American forces and other international forces, they were not cowards.
	They were extremely brave men, but they were betrayed.
	They were let down by The American government, the British government, other international governments who ripped the carpet out from under their feet, who denied them the support they needed and who denied them the technological, the technical, logistic support they required as well to keep fighting.
	But above all, they tore their morale away.
	They no longer, no longer was the United States the guarantor of their success.
	And from the moment that President Biden decided he wasn't interested in fighting in Afghanistan anymore, That sealed their fate, I think.
	They knew that it was the end.
	Morale is such an important factor in modern-day combat that they simply, in some cases, melted away.
	In other cases, they went over to the side of the Taliban.
	Because they were not only betrayed by us, they were also betrayed by their own government, which often stole their money from them, didn't give them the equipment and even the food that they needed to fight.
	And that was partly, I think, due to our lack of control of that government.
	We should have, I think, maintained.
	But in terms of the UK-US special relationship that you asked about, that relationship is vitally important.
	I don't think there's any other bilateral relationship in the world that is as important as that.
	We have fought alongside each other in every conflict since the First World War, with very few exceptions, Vietnam being one.
	But even coming up to date and more up to date in our fight in the Falklands, which was an extremely important fight for Britain and for global security, the Americans were right beside us there.
	Without the American support, we could not have won that war.
	It's very simple.
	So that relationship is vitally important.
	It's essential.
	We do not allow it to crumble in any way.
	I think that one of the dangers that we see now is that the British government, which was also complicit in President Biden's decision, I believe the British government were very, very enthusiastic about leaving Afghanistan, despite what they've said.
	They recognize the political damage that's done to them, and they want to deflect that onto the United States.
	So they have blamed, basically shoved the blame onto President Biden, who also deserves it, but he doesn't deserve all of it.
	And I think that risks rupturing the special relationship.
	And I think there's many people over here who are deeply concerned about that.
	And any one of us, you know, who is in any position of influence should do everything we can, I think, to maintain relations between our two countries, particularly at this time when we face such an enormous threat from countries like China and Russia from Iran and North Korea.
	Let's stick on the specific threat of the jihadi movement.
	You are doubly qualified, not only as theatre commander for British forces, but because of the job you had afterwards as heading up the CT analysis for the administration in Downing Street and understanding that threat.
	From that perspective, ...of the surrender of Kabul, the sacrifice of Bagram, the pulling out of all troops on the ground.
	What does that mean for the threat analysis, for the global jihadi movement, the prestige, the renommée of the Taliban now?
	How much more dangerous are we, Richard, after that decision was taken prior to, you know, in comparison to the situation before the decision?
	I think it's the threats we face now in all of our countries are hugely greater than they were before we pulled out of Afghanistan.
	As I mentioned previously, we were there to prevent terrorism, to prevent Afghanistan becoming a global hub again for terrorist attacks along the lines of 9-11.
	We achieved that.
	That was the mission that was achieved by US forces and Britain and our allies.
	Now we have the Taliban in power.
	The Taliban, they pretend That they're changed.
	They pretend that they're now diverse and woke and whatever else you want to say about them.
	That's what they the only the only way they've changed.
	They become more media savvy and they're now used to making statements that they think will please the West and appease the West and make the West more sympathetic towards them.
	And indeed, that that kind of narrative is being advanced on both sides of the Atlantic, where both of our governments are almost kind of saying we we You know, we're fighting the Islamic State alongside the Taliban.
	Nothing could be more far from the truth.
	The Taliban, unlike what President Biden said, the Taliban are not the sworn enemies of the Islamic State.
	They sometimes fight and kill them.
	Yes, they do.
	But they sometimes cooperate.
	They cooperate with Al-Qaeda as well.
	And the Taliban will allow the Islamic State to operate.
	They will allow the Al-Qaeda to operate.
	Jihadists will flood into that country to join those organisations and other jihadist organisations as they did before 9-11.
	They will train, they will prepare, they will make contacts, they will launch attacks or attempt to launch attacks against the West from Afghanistan again.
	The West from Afghanistan
	The West from Afghanistan
	The West from Afghanistan
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Today, with younger members joining, with 20 years of experience fighting the West, they are externally focused.
	The Taliban as well, before 2001, were mainly focused internally on Afghanistan.
	Today, with younger members joining, with 20 years of experience fighting the West, they are externally focused.
	And some of the statements that they've made since their victory in Kabul have indicated that they're looking for jihad globally, even the Taliban, not just al-Qaeda and the Islamic State.
	On top of that, this is the greatest victory that jihadists have achieved in modern times.
	I believe even greater than the other enormous victory in 1979 when Shia jihadists took over Iran and created an Iranian terrorist state.
	We now have next door An Afghan terrorist state again.
	And that victory inspires jihadists everywhere.
	It inspires jihadists in the UK, in the US.
	And not only that, it re-energises their efforts, it gives them more funding, and it gives them more recruits.
	So, overall, a massively increased threat faced by us that I hope our security organisations will succeed in preventing.
	Sadly, hope is not a strategy.
	We need more people like you in positions of influence.
	I'm so glad you mentioned the ideological aspect of all of this.
	Richard, I spent years and years and years, prior to joining the administration, Educating our war fighters in the intelligence community and law enforcement on understanding how the bad guys think.
	My job was to read the jihadi propaganda, read the Quran and explain the motivations, what a caliphate means, what is Jahiliyyah, what is the obligation to recreate a theocratic regime, whether you're Shia or whether you're Sunni.
	Today, shockingly, just recently, in an article in Politico, an advisor to the Democrats stated, this is this year Richard, I underestimated the role of religion when it comes to the Taliban.
	I am gobsmacked that we have people who, 20 years after 9-11, still use their secular prism to misunderstand the war we are in.
	I have to ask you, if you're prepared to, is there a concomitant lack of understanding on the other side of the Atlantic?
	I saw Nick Carter, the equivalent of your defence chief, give an interview recently where he said the Taliban could be legitimate and maybe inclusive and I thought it was a Monty Python skit.
	There's a man in uniform making the Taliban sound like the government of Luxembourg.
	Are things as bad in the UK as they are over here?
	I think they are and they have been for a long time and I can remember when I was working for the Joint Intelligence Committee on international terrorism in the Prime Minister's office that even back then and we're talking now back immediately after 9-11 Even back then, people were worried about referring to Islamic terrorism or Islamist terrorism.
	They didn't want to link terrorism to a specific religion.
	And unfortunately, although of course we all know that every adherent to that religion certainly does not support terrorism, those who are involved in terrorism, in jihad, are inspired and following the strict letter of the law of the Quran and other Islamic religious doctrines.
	And it's, you know, it's a simple fact.
	And, you know, it's recognized by, for example, by the United Arab Emirates, by the that government there, which which works extremely hard against their Muslim country, of course, you know, Islamic government.
	And they work extremely hard against Jihadists, because they know the threat that they pose, not just to the West, but to their own countries.
	And there's pretty much no country in the world which Islamic jihadists like Al-Qaeda, like the Taliban, like Islamic State, like Hamas, and numerous other jihadists around the world.
	There's virtually no country in the world that they recognize as being a true Islamic country.
	They are as much enemies of Saudi Arabia, of Kuwait, of the UAE, as they are of the United States and Britain.
	And they want to impose their specific doctrine, their fundamentalist Islamic doctrine, on us all.
	And they will not rest until they do.
	They will not be reasonable.
	They will not reform.
	They will not change their ways.
	No matter what we may hope, the fact that we don't understand it and many of our leaders can't comprehend that kind of religious fervour, that doesn't affect the reality of what they're going to do and what they're planning to do.
	Nothing we can do will change it.
	The only way, in my view, to convert somebody from being a jihadist terrorist is to put a bullet in their head.
	That's pretty much the only thing you can do to stop that fervour.
	Yes, when they believe that they will not only save their own souls but will vouchsafe the salvation of their loved ones if they die trying to kill an infidel there's no negotiating and this is something that sadly it seems in the last 20 years People have not understood, especially those in our secular, quote-unquote, elites.

	Richard, you mentioned...
	This lack of understanding being a mutual one across both sides of the Atlantic.
	We've witnessed this unbelievable scandal with the most senior individual in uniform here in the United States, Mark Milley, who in testifying on Capitol Hill said, white rage has to be understood.
	I'm white.
	Critical race theory should be taught at West Point.
	How much of our national security environment, our strategic situation, isn't just a function of revivified enemies, emboldened adversaries, but the fact that we seem above a certain rank To have a politically correct general officer corps.
	When I was in the British military, in the territorial army, I was surrounded.
	There was no white rage.
	One of my squad members was a Jamaican.
	There wasn't nationalism rampant.
	We looked at the world realistically.
	Today it seems as if you have to have a political pair of goggles Above the rank of Colonel in the United States.
	How worried are you that we've lost the Ajax spirit in our warfighters, or at least the senior warfighters?
	I think it's very concerning that we have that situation, both sides of the Atlantic.
	And, you know, in many ways, you know, when you see statements made by some senior officers here in the UK, You believe perhaps that their priority is in somehow contributing to preventing climate change or, you know, social engineering, being woke.
	That seems to be their priority above actually what their business is, which is killing the Queen's enemies or being prepared to do so.
	And one of the concerns that I have about all this, obviously the way that it affects our combat effectiveness in the British forces.
	And it must do, unless you're single-mindedly focused on your military mission, your military task, then it's going to be negative effect on your forces.
	But one thing that really does worry me is how our enemies see this.
	You can imagine the laughter and the guffaws and the chuckling in Beijing, in Moscow, in Tehran and various other centres of authoritarianism.
	They find it highly amusing, I think, and they're rubbing their hands together because they see in that weakness.
	And one of the most important functions of an armed force, any armed force in any country, is not, I mean, one of the most, one of the functions is fighting and killing the enemy.
	But an equally, perhaps even more important function is deterring, deterring your enemies.
	Convincing them that it's not worth going in for the fight, otherwise they're going to lose.
	Well, I don't see much of that, that thought about how woke-ism in the forces, how that might possibly impact upon our deterrent capabilities.
	I know how it impacts.
	It really reduces them.
	And this sort of thinking really does make war far more likely.
	We're all very keen to avoid it.
	But, you know, perhaps it's not understood among many of the military hierarchies that Their approach, their woke approach, where it exists, and it doesn't exist in all of them.
	I know plenty of generals who think the same way as I do about it.
	But among some generals, they're obsessed with wokeness.
	I mean, it's all to do with advancement and, you know, careers after the army, et cetera, more than anything else.
	But it is seriously damaging to our national defences.
	Can I ask you, without a recourse to any political adjectives, just purely as a strategic assessment, would you rate the national security performance of the last Commander-in-Chief, my old boss, President Trump, and then the last nine months of his successor, purely from a national strategic perspective, as a Brit, as part of that special relationship?
	Well, I know there was huge criticism of President Trump over here in the United Kingdom for many, many different reasons.
	You know, President Obama remains the patron saint of Great Britain and President Trump remains the great evil in this country among so many people.
	But I think if you do look at it in pure national security terms, there was never any of the fear of weakening the United States of America, The danger to our special relationship between our two countries, even of the dangers to NATO, despite President Trump's quite right criticism of NATO.
	There was never any of that when Trump was the president.
	I think one of the greatest strengths he had was his unpredictability.
	And of course, being unpredictable is very disconcerting for your enemies.
	And I think his enemies would have been I know his enemies, from what I understand of it, were extremely worried about the fact they didn't really know how he would respond to certain things and therefore didn't dare do certain things.
	We just need to look at how he responded to Qasem Soleimani, you know, the greatest terrorist the world's probably ever known, the most dangerous operative in the world in his day.
	He was then eliminated by President Trump, where previous US presidents had the opportunity But never grasped the nettle and decided to do away with him.
	As a result of his death, the world is a much safer place.
	And of course, President Trump had many other achievements in international security.
	I do not believe I know that he he also wished to pull out of Afghanistan.
	I think he was mistaken in his wish to do that.
	But he at least, unlike President Biden, attached specific conditions to that.
	I do not believe myself that had President Trump and President, we would have seen the utter humiliation of the United States and the West, including Great Britain, that we've seen now.
	You mentioned the North Atlantic Treaty Alliance, Colonel Kemp.
	Is it fit for purpose right now?
	I think the NATO has been shown to be the opposite of that.
	And, you know, our own Secretary of State for Defence, Ben Wallace, here in the UK, When he recognized that the U.S.
	was pulling out of Afghanistan, he claims to have made calls to all of the other NATO countries to suggest a British-led coalition to remain in Afghanistan made up of NATO members, excluding the U.S., because the U.S.
	was pulling out.
	And he says that not one single country in NATO was interested.
	Not one agreed to the concept.
	That doesn't surprise me.
	I'm sure it didn't surprise him.
	I'm certain that if he made those calls, which he says he did, so I'm assuming that he did, he did so knowing the answer will be no, because as I mentioned before, I think Britain wants to be out of, wanted to be out of Afghanistan just as much as President Biden did.
	But what that shows is that NATO is the United States of America.
	The rest of it is window dressing, including Britain.
	Britain begged President Biden to extend the term of the evacuation so we could get all our national citizens out and get people he wanted to protect from Afghanistan, who'd served us so well over the campaign, to get them out as well.
	We begged him to do that, apparently.
	But why couldn't we do it ourselves?
	We're something like the fifth most powerful military nation in the world, something like that.
	We spend a huge amount of our money on defence, but we couldn't even defend a small airport in Afghanistan on our own for long enough to get our people out.
	Now, when you hear that, and I'm not sure if it's a question of capability, I think more likely it's a question of willpower on the part of our politicians.
	But when you hear that sort of thing, you do wonder what we're spending all our defence money on, because it certainly isn't having the capability to do even a small task like defend a relatively small airport.
	And I think that goes for all the other NATO countries.
	So yeah, I think I think we need to be seriously worried about NATO, but at the same time, we need to be just as concerned about that relationship as we are about our own US-UK relationship, because NATO is an extremely important organisation.
	NATO is an extremely important organisation.
	NATO is an extremely important organisation.
	NATO is an extremely important
	organisation, and we need to be very important organisation.
	NATO is an extremely important organisation, and we need to be very important organisation.
	NATO is an extremely important organisation, and we need to be very important organisation, and we need to be very important organisation, and we need to be very important organisation, and we need to be very important organisation, and we need to be very important organisation, and we need to be very important organisation, and we need to be very important organisation, and we need to be very important organisation, and we need to be very important organisation, and we What is your message to your American colleagues in uniform?
	And even because we have listeners across the globe, from Australia to the UK, what is your message to your fellow warfighters who bled and who were maybe maimed in Afghanistan after the recent events of the last five weeks?
	Is there something you'd like to say to them?
	Yeah, I mean, there is.
	I mean, the first thing is, is I have, I mentioned already, I have the most profound respect for US armed forces and for the armed forces of our allies who fought with us in Afghanistan, even, even as a Brit, the French.
	But, but I served alongside the French in, in Kabul, very impressive soldiers held back by their own government.
	But nevertheless, I think You know, the thing I would say to and about them is that contrary to what you hear so much about how their sacrifices in terms of the hardships they experienced in Afghanistan, the severe life changing wounds that so many experienced and the greater sacrifice, those who were killed in action in Afghanistan.
	None of it was in vain, in my opinion.
	I know a lot of people have a different view.
	In my view, none of it was in vain.
	We were all fighting and dying in some cases, unfortunately, to protect our people at home from this threat of global jihad.
	And we succeeded in that mission in Afghanistan until we were betrayed, effectively, by the United States president and the other allied governments who also pulled out when he did.
	But it's a very hard thing to say.
	But in the same way as our forefathers were killed on the beaches of Normandy to defend our way of life, to protect our people from the evils of Nazism, our soldiers who died in the deserts and the mountains and the plains of Afghanistan, they did so to protect people back home.
	And the ones that were killed were killed fighting to prevent the deaths of people back in the United States, back in the UK, etc.
	And I'm certain That many lives were saved in our countries as a result of sacrifices made by our soldiers.
	So I firmly believe that.
	And I think above all, I would like to give that message not just to the soldiers who fought, but particularly, I think, to the families of those who were killed, who made the ultimate sacrifice, who gave more than anyone else could ever give for their country.
	They died.
	They gave their life.
	They gave everything they ever had, everything they ever would have had in in sacrificing their lives for their country.
	And I think their families should be not only confident that it was not in vain, but also they should be deeply proud of them.
	They gave the last full measure of devotion.
	Thank you for those words, Colonel Richard Kemp.
	And thank you, not solely for your service to the UK, but also to the special relationship between our two countries that are so closely bonded.
	And since then, since demobbing, being a truth-teller, I mean, truly one of the most extraordinary truth-tellers out there.
