Why We Stayed
00:02:27

|
| I mean, we've been there 20 years, and I don't think it's serious to assume that at any point in the near future, those people will be able to construct a safe democracy, not necessarily the West, but anything that provides any level of safety that would allow us to leave. | |
| And the other criticism is, you know, when you take these refugees into the U.S., They have to be moved into some neighborhood. | |
| And personally speaking, I mean, my neighborhood has changed so dramatically in the last 10, 20 years. | |
| I mean, you walk around and English is not the language that you hear spoken. | |
| What is the language your neighborhood hears? | |
| Spanish. | |
| Right. | |
| Like we always say, there's nothing... | |
| Go ahead. | |
| So, I mean, there's nothing, of course, intrinsically wrong with, you know, any other group. | |
| Well, we wouldn't have to bring the refugees into the United States if we stayed. | |
| So you want it both ways. | |
| Abandon these people to death and leave. | |
| And I don't necessarily want them as refugees, and I don't want to leave. | |
| But your position is, let them die. | |
| Well, so that to me is very much kind of a left-wing point of view. | |
| The left wants us to leave. | |
| Why? | |
| The left wants us to leave. | |
| It's the only area where there is no left and right on leaving Afghanistan. | |
| It's an amazing thing. | |
| There are just as many conservatives who want to leave as there are people on the left. | |
| Donald Trump wanted to leave. | |
| I'm sorry? | |
| After 20 years? | |
| You don't think it's time? | |
| No. | |
| Why are we still in Germany after 50 years? | |
| Well, I think that's silly, too. | |
| Right. | |
| Okay. | |
| Apparently, Europeans don't think it's that silly, and we have kept the peace there. | |
| And what about South Korea? | |
| Is that silly, too? | |
| Well, South Korea is very different than Germany. | |
| Do you really think we need to be there to protect the state, to keep the peace in Europe? | |
| Well, you didn't answer me about South Korea. | |
| Is it silly to have stayed there 50 years? | |
| Yes, I do. | |
| I do think it's good. | |
| Okay. | |
| All right. | |
| Listen, you know what my motto is. | |
