=== Think, Answer, Tick Ticked (03:09) ===

[00:00:00]  Probably surprised I took your call.
[00:00:02]  Hi.
[00:00:04]  I am a little surprised.
[00:00:05]  How are you today?
[00:00:06]  I know.
[00:00:07]  I know.
[00:00:07]  I read my listeners.
[00:00:11]  I agree with you that we need to be expediting visas for people from asking.
[00:00:18]  Uh-oh.
[00:00:19]  I'm a little surprised to hear you making an issue of it.
[00:00:22]  Maybe you didn't know what was happening during the Trump administration, but I would read you real briefly.
[00:00:28]  This is from...
[00:00:29]  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.
[00:00:39]  Last year, 200 were cleared, down from nearly 10,000 in 2016. And the number of Afghans getting visas, down 60%.
[00:00:49]  More than 4,000 were cleared in fiscal 2017, compared with only 1,650 in 2018. Was this an issue?
[00:00:58]  Trump was cutting the number of people getting these visas?
[00:01:01]  So let me ask you a question.
[00:01:02]  I will answer you.
[00:01:04]  This is human to human.
[00:01:06]  So, would you say you've heard me more than 50 times?
[00:01:15]  I'm sorry, what?
[00:01:16]  Would you say you've heard my show more than 50 times?
[00:01:19]  5-0?
[00:01:21]  Yes.
[00:01:22]  Okay.
[00:01:23]  So what do you think the answer is?
[00:01:25]  Do you think I was quiet about our abandoning Iraqi translators because it was Trump?
[00:01:30]  What do you think the answer is?
[00:01:32]  I don't know.
[00:01:33]  That's why I called.
[00:01:34]  Right, okay.
[00:01:35]  If you had to bet, would you just flip a coin?
[00:01:38]  I'm not giving you a hard time.
[00:01:40]  I'm curious to know your thinking.
[00:01:42]  Well, not to give you a hard time, and I really mean that.
[00:01:45]  I know, I know that.
[00:01:46]  So I'm just asking your perception of me.
[00:01:49]  I'm being totally open with you.
[00:01:52]  Do you think that because Trump did it, I don't give a damn about Iraqi translators who helped Americans?
[00:01:59]  Is that your perception of me?
[00:02:02]  I did not say that.
[00:02:03]  I know you didn't.
[00:02:04]  You asked the question.
[00:02:06]  So I'm answering, what do you think the answer to your question is?
[00:02:09]  I'm not playing games.
[00:02:13]  I'm wondering if maybe you just didn't...
[00:02:15]  I knew it, and I talked about it, and I was ticked off.
[00:02:20]  Ticked off.
[00:02:21]  It has nothing to do with who's president.
[00:02:24]  Nothing.
[00:02:27]  I was disgusted about the Iraqi translators, and I read editorials about it then, and I'm disgusted about the Afghans.
[00:02:35]  That's it.
[00:02:37]  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.
[00:02:47]  This is a bureaucracy thing.
[00:02:49]  It's also a presidential thing.
[00:02:51]  Because the president could make a big deal.
[00:02:53]  We don't abandon our allies.

=== Nazi Muslims (01:10) ===

[00:02:55]  And it was depressing when it happened in Iraq under Trump, and it's depressing today in Afghanistan under Biden.
[00:03:07]  That's it.
[00:03:08]  It just is.
[00:03:09]  I mean, even on purely selfish grounds, don't we want to send the message, if you help America, we don't abandon you?
[00:03:26]  Forget morality and decency.
[00:03:33]  Taliban are religious Nazis.
[00:03:37]  That's it.
[00:03:37]  That's all they are.
[00:03:38]  They're religious Nazis.
[00:03:41]  Muslim Nazis.
[00:03:45]  Nazi Muslims, depending on which you want the noun to be.
[00:03:49]  All righty, everybody. - Thank you.
[00:03:57]  So today in California, supposedly the mandate for wearing masks has ended.
