| Probably surprised I took your call. | |
| Hi. | |
| I am a little surprised. | |
| How are you today? | |
| I know. | |
| I know. | |
| I read my listeners. | |
| I agree with you that we need to be expediting visas for people from asking. | |
| Uh-oh. | |
| I'm a little surprised to hear you making an issue of it. | |
| Maybe you didn't know what was happening during the Trump administration, but I would read you real briefly. | |
| This is from... | |
| May 1st, 2019, so just a couple years ago, in Iraq, there was a backlog of more than 100 people now in the P2 direct access program. | |
| Last year, 200 were cleared, down from nearly 10,000 in 2016. And the number of Afghans getting visas, down 60%. | |
| More than 4,000 were cleared in fiscal 2017, compared with only 1,650 in 2018. Was this an issue? | |
| Trump was cutting the number of people getting these visas? | |
| So let me ask you a question. | |
| I will answer you. | |
| This is human to human. | |
| So, would you say you've heard me more than 50 times? | |
| I'm sorry, what? | |
| Would you say you've heard my show more than 50 times? | |
| 5-0? | |
| Yes. | |
| Okay. | |
| So what do you think the answer is? | |
| Do you think I was quiet about our abandoning Iraqi translators because it was Trump? | |
| What do you think the answer is? | |
| I don't know. | |
| That's why I called. | |
| Right, okay. | |
| If you had to bet, would you just flip a coin? | |
| I'm not giving you a hard time. | |
| I'm curious to know your thinking. | |
| Well, not to give you a hard time, and I really mean that. | |
| I know, I know that. | |
| So I'm just asking your perception of me. | |
| I'm being totally open with you. | |
| Do you think that because Trump did it, I don't give a damn about Iraqi translators who helped Americans? | |
| Is that your perception of me? | |
| I did not say that. | |
| I know you didn't. | |
| You asked the question. | |
| So I'm answering, what do you think the answer to your question is? | |
| I'm not playing games. | |
| I'm wondering if maybe you just didn't... | |
| I knew it, and I talked about it, and I was ticked off. | |
| Ticked off. | |
| It has nothing to do with who's president. | |
| Nothing. | |
| I was disgusted about the Iraqi translators, and I read editorials about it then, and I'm disgusted about the Afghans. | |
| That's it. | |
| And in both cases, the State Department, if they gave a damn about human life, rather than BLM and gay pride, they could save these lives in a nanosecond. | |
| This is a bureaucracy thing. | |
| It's also a presidential thing. | |
| Because the president could make a big deal. | |
| We don't abandon our allies. | |

|
| And it was depressing when it happened in Iraq under Trump, and it's depressing today in Afghanistan under Biden. | |
| That's it. | |
| It just is. | |
| I mean, even on purely selfish grounds, don't we want to send the message, if you help America, we don't abandon you? | |
| Forget morality and decency. | |
| Taliban are religious Nazis. | |
| That's it. | |
| That's all they are. | |
| They're religious Nazis. | |
| Muslim Nazis. | |
| Nazi Muslims, depending on which you want the noun to be. | |
| All righty, everybody. - Thank you. | |
| So today in California, supposedly the mandate for wearing masks has ended. | |
