Time Text
We're here in Manchester, New Hampshire on Veterans Day.
And I can't think of anyone I'd rather be with on Veterans Day than a hero, multiple hero, a general who is a, I describe as a fighting general, and one that, General Baldock, who ran a great race for the Senate in New Hampshire against unbelievable defamation, I have to say.
I could see it happening and watch it.
It disgusted me from afar.
And then as I came here more, it disgusted me even more.
This is a, this is a great American.
This is an American that on Veterans Day, this is one of the people you have to say thank you to.
And if I'm correct, you had 10 tours of duty in Afghanistan.
You have five, five prompts?
Legion of Merit, Defense Superior Service three times, Purple Heart twice.
Injured way back at the beginning in 2006.
Legion of Merit, Defense Superior Service three times, Purple Heart twice.
Injured way back at the beginning in 2006.
He was the commander of the 1st Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group during Operation Medusa.
He was the Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force commander.
This is a real soldier.
He had a hip injury in 2001, and then in 2005, a serious brain injury.
And how many people have won five Bronze Stars, General?
General Don Bolduc, I'm sure you know.
I think there's, you know, you got, you know, World War II, you got Korea.
That seems like a lot to me.
So there, you know, there's people out there with, with, you know, you know, that number close to that number, not, not, I mean, obviously that's not, but it's not common.
No, right.
You got to do your time to combat to get it.
And that's, you know, You don't usually see a record like this from a gentleman.
This is a real soldier's record.
So let me, on behalf of all the veterans, thank you for your service to the country before we get to anything else.
Thank you.
And it's exceptional service.
God bless you.
Now tell us about the Senate race, because there are so many...
I mean, I think they decided the only way they could beat you was to lie about you.
If they let you, if they let this record get out and if they let you just speak because when you did, you won.
I could see it.
You're one of those candidates where they made you look so bad when you appeared and you're obviously a very intelligent, very reasonable, very decent man.
You just won them over.
It's a question of resources. But in any event, tell us your feelings now about the race.
So, you know, back in 2020, when I ran the first time, I realized that, you know, I needed a lot more time in order to be able to get out on the granite state and do my thing.
And I knew that I would be the candidate with the least amount of money.
I would never, ever get the Republican establishment on my side in any primary election.
And I knew that it would be a tough fight Uh, with the Democrats knowing how they do business.
And I knew they would lie and I knew they would try to pick stuff up, uh, on my career, which they did.
They tried twice to, um, discredit me along with the Republicans tried to discredit my record.
As a matter of fact, there's a commercial out there in the primary that said I was a collaborator with the Taliban.
And I got to tell you that, that hurt a lot.
Who did that?
That was a Republican ad.
Collaborate with the Taliban?
Collaborate with the Taliban, and that I agreed with Joe Biden's, you know, withdrawal in Afghanistan, which if anyone saw me on the news, national news, as I was consulted as an expert, which the Department of Defense tried to say I wasn't an expert after 10 tours in Afghanistan.
You know, Jennifer Griffin tried to tear me down on Steve Hilton's show.
Steve Hilton tried to tear me down as well.
Um, and it was very unfortunate that all this was happening.
So this was back at the time of the withdrawal and the reaction to the withdrawal, the immediate reaction to the withdrawal?
Right, right.
And what, and what, and what had, what, what did you, what was your position at that time?
So my position at that time was that this withdrawal was poorly conceived, uh, giving up Bagram airfield, not securing a, uh, all of our air bases.
Cause we had substantial international level air bases across the country, which we should have secured.
And then we should have brought battalions in to clear a safe area so American citizens, our allies, and our Afghan partners could move safely.
We should have kept the Taliban al-Qaeda at an arm's length distance.
We should have used air, land, and sea assets to be able to move folks to these loggerheads.
We should have coordinated refugee operations with Iran, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, which we didn't do.
Uh, we should have had substantial forward operating bases where we brought people to and then clear them before we brought them anywhere else.
We did none of that.
Right.
And what, you know, what we did was we looked weak, which promulgated the invasion of Ukraine and gave China more, uh, you know, uh, you know, uh, more, uh, area to be able to expand its operations against Taiwan.
It emboldened North Korea and Iran and lost control of the Our international, uh, you know, credibility and then at home under the Biden administration, we, we opened up our borders.
Uh, we, we reversed our energy independence.
We, uh, lacked leadership at every level.
Uh, and, uh, we during COVID, we gave away a lot of our, our liberties, right.
Uh, and all of this compounded to.
What we see today, historic inflation, high interest rates, open border, illegal immigration, vice, legal immigration, high crime, defunding of the police, a weak military and all our institutions at a weak level.
And, you know, this was bad.
And that was my narrative.
And of course, you know, I Was in the primary, and I wasn't the choice of the New Hampshire Republican Party here.
And so they ran commercials suggesting that I was a collaborator with the Taliban.
They ran commercials suggesting that I was, you know, supported Joe Biden's withdrawal.
These commercials, you know, I mean, they hurt me personally, and they caused me to have to explain them on the campaign trail.
Which I'm okay explaining them.
Well, you obviously explained them to the satisfaction of the Republican electorate.
You won that.
And you beat off some very, very strong opposition in terms of political history, political support.
You probably were outspent massively.
I was outspent, you know, 20 to 1 in the primary.
And 40, about 40 to 1 in the It was all attack on me.
That's right.
In the Republican primary, the 20% was basically attack on you.
Attack on me.
The 20% to 1% was attack on you.
It was all attack on me.
To distort what you just, the positions that you just stated,
from what I know about you, seem to be your consistent position.
That's right.
I remember you being interviewed during the withdrawal.
And if I'm correct, you weren't opposed necessarily to ending the war in Afghanistan.
You were opposed to the way it was done.
That's right.
I was an advocate of getting out of Afghanistan, which is not that way.
Of course.
78% of our veterans felt humiliated and embarrassed by the withdrawal from Afghanistan, and it created a lot of triggers for post-traumatic stress.
I can see what they did.
They took the top line, and then they made it as if you were in favor of withdrawal The way Biden did it.
That's right, exactly.
Of course, this is politics.
Unfortunately, it shouldn't be.
When we say this is politics, this is crooked politics.
This is politics that's not American, it's not patriotic, doesn't help the people, and puts dishonest people in office.
Right.
In the primary, I did not go dirty on any of the primary candidates.
I remember that from the debate.
They all attacked me, minus Bruce Fenton and Vikram.
But the main candidates, you know, all came after me, right?
You were the leading candidate, weren't you?
Or was Morse the leading candidate?
No, I was the leading candidate.
You were the frontrunner, pretty much from the beginning?
From the beginning.
I remember, General, you'll appreciate this, I spoke to SEAL Team 6 on their mission right after Bin Laden, because they were really, really disgusted with Obama.
And I think as a way of sticking it to them, they invited me to speak to them when they had that dinner It was a wonderful weekend, and I asked the commanding officer, who was the commanding officer that got Ben Laden, I said to him, how many of the guys have PTSD?
He said, everybody.
He said, why?
I do.
He said, you know, we've realized, we've come to realize, as we've grown, that almost everyone's going to have some form of it.
Question of what degree?
Well, the way I like to deal with it instead of let's deal with it and we haven't let's get it out and let's deal with it.
And so, you know, your brain re, you know, reorders itself in a combat zone, so you can stay alive in combat more than one day.
And then when you come back, those same triggers exist back here.
And if you don't get the therapy that you need, because therapy doesn't equal incapable of doing your job, it equals Resiliency.
And trying to get that narrative across can be very challenging.
I think you did, though.
Yes, I hope I did.
I think you did.
I think that in winning the Republican primary, I think you educated people in a way that really is a great service.
Well, I think I did. I mean, I hope I did because, you know, my way of running was grassroots,
bottom-up, two years, every town, every city, you know, talking to everybody across all
political parties.
Yeah, I think that helped a lot.
Every age, you name it, sir, I tried to expose myself to everybody's, you know, give everybody
an opportunity to ask Don Baldick a question.
And once I got with, you know, once I got into the general election, You know, I was facing $40 million to $2 million and a narrative that just became a big lie.
It was a big lie.
And that was very, very difficult because for every one commercial we put out, she had four commercials about the big lie on abortion, the big lie on Social Security, the big lie on Medicare.
And every time she had a chance, she characterized me as an extremist.
And she just never defined it.
And although the media made me define everything I said, the media didn't make her define anything.
And they never challenged her about her lies.
And they always challenged me on everything that, you know, I said.
Did it get worse as you became more and more of a threat?
Yes.
As, you know, 11 points behind after, you know, on 14 September, when the polls National polls and state polls showed me, you know, within the margin of error and then some polls ahead by a point or two.
It scared them.
It scared them.
Right.
And unfortunately, I think we were all surprised because we just didn't, you know, the election results didn't match the polls.
And I think we saw that across the country.
Except for Florida.
But I have to tell you, they didn't match So I spent a good deal of time here, and during your campaign I was here 3-4 times, and I just had the feeling the momentum was... that you were finishing with great momentum.
Yes.
And I would have... I thought we were going to win by 1 or 2 points.
Or lose by 1 or 2.
Or lose by 1 or 2.
Yeah, yeah.
That would have been my prediction.
Not 10!
My prediction was you were going to win by 1 or 2 because you had the momentum.
Right.
It was the race, by the time you got to the end it was like this.
And you had more enthusiasm.
Don't know what happened, we're going to have to look at that and see, but you did a great service.
Would you like to straighten out some of those ridiculous positions?
She said you were going to get rid of Medicare?
She said I was going to get rid of Medicare.
And Social Security too?
And Social Security.
And we were both interviewed on AARP and my positions on Medicare were You know, a lot better than her.
She really didn't know what she wanted to do because she hasn't done anything for six years.
Yeah.
And same thing with Social Security.
Three legislative cycles.
She's never invested in it.
She's always taken from it.
And, you know, she's part of the reason that it's going to go insolvent.
I was going to be the reason why it wouldn't go insolvent.
But her ads in those mailers, you know, in the fact that she got people, you know, we had We had this one commercial that suggested I was going to murder, you know, I was in favor of murdering, uh, you know, mothers and my granddaughter who's eight years old.
Oh, because of abortion?
Yes.
Saw that commercial during a children's program she was watching and it upset her to the point where she was in tears and she asked her mother, does Bubba, is Bubba gonna, you know, murder or kill, uh, you know, mothers?
And, you know, her mother was like, no, dear.
And so I had to sit down with my eight-year-old granddaughter and explain to her.
And to me, I didn't, I didn't attack, you know, Senator Hassan personally.
I just said she wasn't doing her job for Granite Staters.
And I pointed out the facts.
But she attacked me personally.
Well, I guess there's no time better than after this tremendous exercise in democracy than to tell you that there is a provider of services for your cell phone, for your iPad, for your devices, for your Androids, for everything, for all your needs.
And when you go to them and you use them, You're also supporting the things that you hold dear.
Patriot Mobile has been fighting for our values for a long, long time.
For the rights of the unborn.
For the right to defend yourself.
For the right to due process of law.
For the right of free speech.
Freedom of religion.

That's patriotmobile.com slash Rudy.
Do it now.
And so I was like, you know, so I tried my best to, you know, to use the resources that we had to combat it.
But it was just so difficult because everywhere I went, those were the three questions I got.
It wasn't on the economy.
It wasn't on energy.
It wasn't on the fact that people We're spending more and more money, uh, you know, to pay for food, to pay for gas, to pay for oil.
That's affecting everybody.
Yes.
And here in New Hampshire, um, I ran into a lot of people, um, particularly women that just basically said, listen, not worried about the finances.
I make plenty of money.
I'm worried about your position on abortion.
And when I would tell them, they go, Well, that's not what we get in the mail, and that's not what we see on TV.
And I go, well, that's Senator Hassan's ads, and they're not correct.
They're lies.
Bold-faced lies.
See, here's another thing that, at least in my estimation, I missed.
I thought you had explained, by the end, I thought you had explained that to enough people.
I thought so, too.
That you had a position where, well, you explain your position.
The polls told us we did, so my position is that You know, the Dobbs decision took it out of the federal level, moved it down to the state level.
New Hampshire passed a law that was consistent with how a majority of granite staters see the issue.
Right, right.
And I said, hey, this is a state issue now.
It's no longer a federal issue.
So, you know, Senator Hassan and I shouldn't even be debating this.
Right, it's in the state legislature.
That's right.
And I said, furthermore, Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham, And their efforts to ban abortion at the federal level will never get my support.
I just won't vote for that.
Because I believe it's a state issue.
And I made that clear.
I distinctly remember that.
I distinctly remember even reading that in, of all places, the New York Times.
Right.
But they still continued to basically paint you as, you were going to ban abortion for everybody, all the time, with no exceptions.
Not the case.
Not the case.
And of course, you know, I mean, I'm a pro-life guy.
However, I'm a public servant and I realize that things, you know, in the public realm, in the public sphere, you know, you have to be able to, you know, compromise.
And so I thought the Supreme Court did that for all of us, right?
They took it from the federal level to the state level.
Women at the state level on both sides of the issue are going to are going to have a better voice at the state level than
they would ever at the federal level.
Look at the last 50 years. Of course. They've not been able to reconcile it for 50 years.
So come on, let's be honest about the whole situation. She lied, I corrected it,
she continued to lie, and she put millions and millions of dollars behind it,
and she just convinced people. Well, it's the quintessential Democrat campaign now.
I mean, I could repeat that in many, many states where it was successful, in some cases because
they had the resources, or maybe the electorate is a little more balanced. It didn't work.
It's definitely a different electorate here in New Hampshire.
Thanks for joining us, Mayor Rudy Giuliani, with very special guest, General Don Bullduck.
On Veterans Day.
On Veterans Day, the 2022 GOP nominee for U.S.
Senate from the Granite State live here in New Hampshire.
General, we're getting questions from the mayor's viewers.
I know you're short on time.
You got to get your next event.
You have some time for some questions.
Yes.
All righty.
Well, we don't know yet, right?
says, thank you, sir, for running for office and please keep up the fight.
Keep going and never give up.
Another person, general, we love you here in New Hampshire.
We were getting comments, all sorts of comments.
Let's get to some questions here.
General, what is next for the general?
Well, we don't know yet.
Right.
So we're, you know, we're taking a little bit of time to assess the situation.
I've been getting a lot of phone calls at the national level, at the state level.
Not long ago, Mike Lundell, the inventor of MyPillow, and his team fit me for my very own MyPillow.
They also introduced me to their wide assortment of other incredible products, like their mattress topper, their sheets, towels, slippers, and more.

That's MyPillow.com and use the promo code Rudy.
Couple more quick questions, General, if you have the time.
And this is a question we get for the Mayor often.
But for you, first off, is this your first time running for office?
And name something you learned this time around that maybe you didn't know going into it.
Well, so first, this is not my first election.
I ran for the Senate in 2020.
Lost the primary.
And then, of course, I won the primary this time by understanding the mistakes that I made in the last election.
This mistake here, you know, any mistakes I made here had everything to do with not fundamentally understanding the impact of lies and malice, right?
And how that really convinces people of a false narrative about somebody.
And how hard that is to overcome.
I got that lesson learned and I know how to combat that for any future runs.
And I will.
Because I demonstrated how I used all the lessons learned from the last one to win the primary.
And it was a tough primary in, you know, 2022.
Now I'll apply that to anything I do in 2024.
in 2024 and I know that we'll be able to. This is part of it right? This is part of it right here.
This is abortion as a state issue.
Don't worry about Don Baldick.
He's never going to vote for a ban at the federal level.
Don Baldick will support social security and invest in it.
And Don Baldick will make Medicare better.
I'm starting on those three things now because those were the big three things.
And Don Baldick is not an extremist.
He's a very level headed person who believes in granted staters and believes in American above any individual and above any party first.
And I will make that And you've already, I'd say, made a down payment on that.
I have.
Because you did correct, you shouldn't leave the impression, you corrected a lot of it.
I did.
In fact, I thought you had corrected it enough to go over the top.
I thought so too.
Okay, but you have already turned a lot of people around, and even the people that might have voted against you probably had a little more doubt.
by the end.
Right.
Right.
And remember, we have people who vote Democrat no matter what.
Right.
I guess we have something about Republican no matter what.
That's right.
So, another reason.
What else you got, Ted?
We got some more questions streaming in for both the mayor and the general.
General Don Bolduc joining America's Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
Thanks for joining us.
We're live and we're getting comments from all over the country.
The Mayor's viewers are big fans of the General here.
One question we are getting, we've gotten this a few times.
What words do you have for maybe some conservatives, some people, and this might go to both of you, words of wisdom, something that you can tell folks who are feeling down, maybe on the conservative side.
Maybe the winds weren't as big as we thought they would be, obviously, in New Hampshire.
What can you say to these folks post-election?
Well, don't give up, right?
We can't give up.
We have to see that our livelihood and the future of our children and grandchildren And great-grandchildren is hugely important.
And we know what the real problems are, and we've got to stay on the people that were elected.
I am going to stay on Senator Hassan.
I'm going to stay on Congressman Pappas and Custer and Shaheen to do the right thing, and that is vote to secure our border, vote to reverse our energy, and stay with me on that so that we can bring down inflation.
And so that we can bring down crime and a new dialogue to invest in the police and not defund the police.
And police are heroes.
The big thing that moms and dads are worried about are their children's education.
Stay with me on that.
I am going to continue to be an activist in SAU 16, my district on the seacoast, to get people elected that are going to invest in parents' rights and in a classical education for our children.
And not common core and reverse the very low standards that we have achieved in education, especially in New Hampshire.
Right.
And so, you know, these things are what we we we got to start holding them accountable.
And my hope is to energize people to stay on them, to force them to stand and deliver when they come back to the to the to the grand state member.
Neither Pappas nor Hassan ran an election.
They did not run an election.
They hid from us.
They didn't campaign.
She did no town halls.
She did Zoom calls.
She did a Zoom call spaghetti dinner with Cheshire Democrats.
A Zoom call spaghetti dinner?
With Cheshire County Democrats hosted by a multi-billionaire In California, I talked about this all the time.
She hit from you knowing the damage and we can't allow them to lie about people.
We must bring them up to a standard of honor and integrity and character over power and money.
We can do this if we stick together, if we come together.
And I said it, you know, I read Ruyard Kipling's If in my, it's all, you know, when I got up and I said, you know, listen, You know, I'm supposed to call Senator Hassan first before I concede the election and talk to my supporters.
But my supporters is what matters to me most.
So I'm doing that first.
Good for you.
So I got in front of him and I said, listen, I think the poem that really makes a difference for us and that should motivate us is If by Ruy Kipling and I read it.
And then I said, you know, if we stick together, if We understand what is important.
The economy, out-of-control spending, our borders, our children, our grandchildren, our great-grandchildren, their education.
If we stick together over the next two years, we will be able to make a difference and change things and put candidates in there that are actually going to fight for you.
And it went over well.
All right, just a minute left here.
Thanks, everyone, for joining us.
Mayor, this is a gentleman.
This is a race you've been talking about for a long time.
Speak a little bit about what impresses you about the general and why you wanted to talk to him.
I'm sure there are some people on this broadcast that have not seen the general before.
I'm sure a lot have.
A lot have.
I don't even have to tell you that this is a very, very fine candidate.
He tells you that himself.
Every time he appeared, he won votes, and there's a reason for that.
This is a man who's devoted his life to serving his country effectively, better than most other people have, with the five bronze stars, the injuries.
The reason that he's in politics is the reason our founding fathers wanted people to have.
He's in politics to make America better.
You can see it.
So this is a career that can't end.
And it reminds me of Ronald Reagan.
He was my boss.
He's my hero.
I think everyone knows that.
I worked for him for eight years.
And he lost several times before he won.
He lost when he first tried to be president.
He lost a bitter primary to Gerald Ford.
He was finished!
Much more than the general is seen as having a life after this race they're already talking about.
But in the case of Ronald Reagan, he was finished!
Except he wasn't finished.
He knew there was a job to be done, and Ronald Reagan would always emphasize, you can never get everything you want.
Ever.
He said, you've got to do it incrementally, you know.
If you can get 60, 70 percent, great.
If you get 80 percent, you're a real winner.
And stop.
Don't even try to go for the next 20, or you'll make people bitter.
And he did that, and that's why he was able to get legislation through a Democratic Congress.
I borrowed that when I was mayor.
I wouldn't have thought of that.
The General reminds me of Ronald Reagan in many ways.
You know, a couple of losses, but, you know, constantly improving, constantly developing a group of people that believe in him, that'll be with him now, more of them even stronger.
And God knows we need people like this.
And I don't give up on the people in New Hampshire.
I mean, look, I don't even know how we do as well with the media so much against us.
You know, when I see us getting 40%, 45, 48, 80% of the media is against us.
Right.
Not everybody listens to Fox.
Not everybody listens to Newsmax or to me or to Hannity.
They're subjected to brainwashing.
They're really subjected to brainwashing.
It's really remarkable we do as well as we do.
Right.
It really is.
And there's a couple of things you said that really hit home with me.
One, you called me a fighting general.
One of my heroes is Ulysses S. Grant.
And Lincoln called him a fighting general.
That's why he needed him.
And, you know, when people complained about his methods or, you know, his behavior or whatever, he said, listen, this guy fights, right?
And I need a fighting general.
Uh, and you know, uh, you know, that means a lot to me.
Um, and the men and women that were in, that I commanded all came out in force for me.
There were very few people above me.
It should.
contacted me during this election cycle and said, hey, Don, thank you for running.
We respect your value system.
But thousands of men and women that I've worked for reached out to me.
That has to mean a lot to you.
And that means more to me than anything.
And it's like here.
I may not have got the support from the power and the money, but I earned the support of granite staters
and people around the country.
And that's what really matters.
And that's what I want to work for.
And that's what I will continue to do over the next two years.
I'm not bitter.
I understand what went wrong.
I hold Senator Hassen accountable for lying, as we all should hold people accountable when they lie.
And it's unfortunate, because she could see me at a veterans event in the future, and I'm a
hero.
I'm no longer an extremist.
But in her eyes, I'm a hero, right?
And I look forward to seeing her at veteran events.
Because, you know, how she characterized me and how she lied about me and how she said I was a threat to this country, along with Joe Biden, was despicable, right?
None of them wore the uniform.
They don't know what it's like to serve.
They don't know what it's like to defend this nation's values and principles.
Uh, and in, in foreign countries and to put our, you know, our beautiful flag over a casket that has the remains of one of your men or women, uh, that you weren't able to bring home.
They don't understand that sacrifice and I do.
And to characterize me and lie about me and use that as a, as a means to attack me, um, I think is unconscionable.
And I believe that.
That narrative has some merit.
And that's the only thing that I will say about her campaign.
She ran a dirty campaign that was based off of lies.
She took money from special interests and lobbyists, second in the Senate to Chuck Schumer.
That's how much money she took.
She was number two to Chuck Schumer.
And I didn't take any money from them.
And I wouldn't because I wanted to work for granted staters.
And this is the only thing that I'll say.
The conduct of her campaign was despicable, and how she used people in her commercials, and worst of all, the young trackers that I saw come and track me.
I never hired one young person.
They were hoping you'd make a mistake, hoping they could twist around some words.
That's right.
And they taught young people the wrong lesson about values and principles.
And to have no respect, and you know, You know, to call me, you know, a liar and an extremist and a bad American and have it echoed by young kids that are 18, 19, 20 years old that, you know, get pay to paycheck to come and, you know, record Don Baldick and then take those recordings and take snippets of them and twist them around is just, you know, it's just unforgivable.
I never used the young generation in my campaign that way.
And I would refuse to do it.
No trackers, no using young people to manipulate the reputation of somebody.
I just didn't do it.
And it's better that you didn't.
Yes.
And lost.
Oh, I can look in the mirror right now.
Because when you do win, you'll have a soul, you'll have a conscience.
That's right.
You'll be a person.
By the time these people win, They don't have a soul in it.
They don't have a soul.
They sold it.
They sold it.
And then Schumer comes and says, this is the way you have to vote.
That's right.
Well, they don't believe it.
I mean, Hassen, she was your governor.
Half the things she votes for, she can't believe it.
I can't believe she believes it.
Some of these people are socialists and communists and they're crazy.
She's doing it because it's politics.
It's politics.
It isn't politics to sell out your country.
Can I just ask you one question that nags at me?
Of all the things that Biden did, given up Bagram, how do you give up a base 400 miles from China when you know that China is our threat?
And there's such a value.
I worked for President Reagan when he deployed the cruise missiles to Europe and put them real close to Russia.
I think that cracked the Cold War.
We were much closer to them than they were to us.
Right, well, you know, he gave up Bagram, and of course that was a strategic area, but it was also a betrayal of all of our Afghan partners.
The middle of the night, no warning, we just loaded up airplanes, we got all our people on, and we flew away, only for the Afghan police and the Afghan military to wake up going, where's our guys?
7,000, you know, criminals were let out of the Bagram jail, and one of them is believed to have been the suicide bomber at the Abbey Gate.
So there's 13 dead Americans.
There's 22 injured.
There's hundreds of Afghan people killed.
And then four days later, we do a drone strike on a home.
And they call it a righteous strike only to find out that it was a young family that they killed and nobody connected to the Taliban, Al Qaeda, or ISIS.
And the worst part, Mr. Mayor, is that not one person in the administration was held accountable.
Not one of the Democrats in Congress held them accountable?
Not one.
Not one military member.
Nobody.
General McKenzie was allowed to retire with full honors and full rank.
You know, Millie, Austin, the Joint Chiefs, all the Admirals, all the way down to the two-star Admiral and 82nd Airborne Division Commander on the ground.
You know, if it was me, I would have already been... I would have said, no, this isn't the way to do it.
I would have put my rank right on the line and said, I'm not leaving Bagram Air Base this way.
So you're going to have to fire me and bring someone in to take my place to do what you're going to do.
Leaving behind all the weapons and billions of dollars of weapons?
Don't you at least blow them up?
I've watched that in movies, General.
Overnight, we made the Taliban more military capable than 164 other countries in the world.
And they're using it now?
Yes.
And China's copying it.
Iran's copying it.
And you got Russia in there.
We need you, General.
You've got to stay in this.
Promise me.
I will promise you, sir.
Okay?
I don't know what's... Promise all my viewers that, too.
I promise you all.
And they're all going to want to know, General, how can they stay in touch with you moving forward?
So I've left my supporters of General Baldick Facebook page open.
Please join it.
Facebook.
General Don Baldick.
This will be the last you see of him.
Please join it.
Thank you so much.
I will need your help.
