This is an iHeart podcast.
You want smart political talk without the meltdowns?
We got you.
I'm Carol Markowitz.
And I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
We've been around the block in media and we're doing things differently.
Normally is about real conversations.
Thoughtful, try to be funny, grounded, and no panic.
We'll keep you informed and entertained without ruining your day.
Join us every Tuesday and Thursday, normally, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I'm Ben Ferguson, and I'm Ted Cruz.
Three times a week, we do our podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz.
Nationwide, we have millions of listeners.
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we break down the news and bring you behind the scenes inside the White House, inside the Senate, inside the United States Supreme Court.
And we cover the stories that you're not getting anywhere else.
We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
So down on Verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
What I told people I was making a podcast about Benghazi, nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
From Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries, this is Fiasco, Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
Listen to Fiasco, Benghazi, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey, everyone.
This is Sarah Carter.
And as you can tell by my voice, I am not Sean Hannity.
We are giving him a great day off.
He deserves it.
He works harder than anyone else I know, and he's a good friend.
I got to tell you, I am so excited to be on the show today.
This is really a dream come true.
Sean, I don't even know how he trusted me with this, but I guess he was listening to Linda.
And so here you go, folks.
And we're going to be saving America.
We're not going to hide the truth from you.
We're not going to lie to you.
This is a place where the truth exists.
Not like the Kamala Harris administration.
That's what I call it now, the Kamala Harris administration, because we don't even know where Joe Biden is.
Where is he?
Laying on a beach?
We don't even know if that's true.
Half the time we see pictures of Joe Biden and it's like his head or his feet.
I don't know if that's Joe Biden.
I don't know who that is.
That's somebody under an umbrella, somebody sitting somewhere in Delaware, somebody hanging out, just laying on the beach.
Honestly, they got to bring proof of life to me.
That's what I say.
Proof of life.
I want the truth.
I want the truth.
And I'm here in New York City.
And in New York City, let me tell you, everybody here is not afraid to tell you the truth.
You could be like literally walking down the street.
And if you look like heck, they will tell you, hey, guess what?
You look like heck.
Get back to your hotel and get dressed up.
You know what?
That's what I love about New York.
The things I don't like about New York are obviously the very leftist radical democratic policies that have made this city so upside down.
And we're going to talk a little bit about that.
I want to start first, though, with one amazing event that happened in my life several weeks ago.
This is absolutely incredible.
It's ironic.
It's crazy.
And I'm going to share this story with you.
My husband and I, we are in, you know, we live in Texas now.
I love Texas, great state of Texas.
I guess I spent so much time there chasing illegal immigrants that I decided to move there, right?
So my husband and I, we move there.
We're four hours away from the border in beautiful Texas hill country.
We have a community that we live in.
It's gated.
And we get home one night.
You know, we're out that night with our kids.
We get back in the house.
We go to sleep.
We put all our dumb dogs in the room with us.
And come morning, I get ready to take my daughter to school, right?
I'm getting her up for school, just like every good mom would do.
Make sure you eat your breakfast.
Let's get outside.
Let's get to the car.
Dad goes to the car.
And as you know, my husband can't see.
I'll explain in a second.
My husband is blind.
Was blinded in Afghanistan in 2011.
So he had no idea what was going on until I walked out of the house, right?
So he gets in the car.
Anna Lisa's in the car.
She's half awake.
She's going to cross country.
It's really early in the morning.
And I look over into the driveway and I'm like, where's our truck?
What happened to my brand new truck?
Where is the tundra?
Okay, don't say, oh, Sarah bought, you bought a Toyota Tundra.
You don't care about American products.
No, nothing to do with that.
It's actually made in San Antonio.
It's made in San Antonio, Texas.
That's what I did from American Workers.
So my truck, my truck is no longer there.
I go, did you lend it to the kids?
Marty's like, oh, I had no idea.
I go, of course you had no idea.
You didn't see the truck.
You can't see it.
And he's like, well, I didn't lend it to the kids.
We're calling the kids.
Did maybe one of them stop by, pick up, because we've got six kids, right?
So we really understand the American family in ways you can't even imagine.
Our blended family is like 24-7 work, right?
And so I'm looking out and the truck is gone.
And I realize, wow, we've been robbed.
Not only have we been robbed, but the street behind us, their truck was gone.
And then apparently later on, we find out that a whole bunch of cars had been rummaged through by none other than guess what?
The cartels.
Yes, they came four hours in into Hill Country, Texas Hill Country to look for trucks.
And by the way, if you've got a push-button truck, they have a device that they can start remotely.
They can start your truck without your keys.
So I just want to warn all of you about that because I don't want you to be in my situation, right?
In my situation, which is without a car, right?
Without a vehicle.
And that's what happened to me.
So all these cars get stolen.
I'm thinking to myself, how did this happen?
We have like a camera that works.
We can, you guys, the camera, my camera caught our family arriving that night after dinner and then a moth flying around in the morning and us going, where's the truck?
Where's the truck?
Everything in between, gone, wiped out.
So they must have something to jam the Wi-Fi or something happened.
And that's what the police told us.
Well, I just want to warn you in the area of Texas, if you're around San Antonio, take good care of your vehicles.
Keep them locked up tight.
I don't care what you got to do to protect them because over 19,000 vehicles have been stolen in our area over the last year.
And they're all in Mexico and they're all being used by the drug cartels.
And I'm telling you, my truck was new.
So they're not going to use it for parts.
I'm pretty positive that some cartel leader, maybe some Mexican official that's on the take is now driving around in Nuevo Laredo with my truck.
So I personally feel the pain of the open borders Biden admitted.
Well, I keep saying Biden.
We don't even know where he is.
Come on, folks.
Is he really there?
Is he really there?
Could somebody please send me, is there any citizen journalist out there in Delaware that can get a picture of his face at the beach?
Because that's the only picture that's out there for all of us.
You get that picture.
You send it to Sean Hannity, and I'm sure he will be happy to talk about it.
He will love that.
He will love you for it.
Send it to Linda McLaughlin.
Linda, you think he would like that?
Do you think Sean would like that?
Do you think he would like that?
Why can't I hear Linda?
You know what?
This is like where the confusion, this is where the confusion starts because I don't have any access.
Oh my God, I'm back.
You're back.
I just hear it.
I'm looking at her face.
I'm looking at her face.
I wanted to see how you behaved under pressure.
And let me tell you, 10 stars.
All right.
You did great.
Oh, my gosh.
I'm under a lot of pressure, guys.
This is all.
You don't even understand.
It's like hard break.
Go to a break.
Don't go to a break.
All these signals, hand signals.
There's so much happening.
I've got like flares.
I've got like Sean's face and the president right next to me and pictures.
Sair says I should put the real president actually.
Yeah, if you're driving in Sarah's car right now, get out.
All right.
Pull over.
Get out of her car.
Pull over.
Get out of my car.
This is a message to Mexico.
By the way, I was in Mexico.
Linda, I was in Mexico.
I gave a speech in Mexico.
You know what?
I felt good about my speech.
I did.
I did.
It was a little bit unnerving for the people there, though, because I actually played a Texas DPS video in front of a Mexican audience of people getting arrested, right?
Crossing the border illegally.
That was kind of a weird moment because I was like trying to fill time.
I was like, you know, maybe I need to segue to something different here because I didn't know if the Mexican audience actually really understood where I was getting at.
Eventually they did.
Eventually.
We were talking about the 900 children that Texas DPS, actually my good friend, Lieutenant Chris Olivares, who has done an amazing job.
He's been on the show many times with Sean, has done in rescuing children because we have a crisis at the border, a crisis not only for our children, folks, we have lost so many children due to fentanyl poisoning in this country.
It's unbelievable.
And I call it fentanyl poisoning.
And for all the angel moms out there that have lost your children, God bless you.
God bless you that you're still fighting the good fight and you're doing everything you can to warn other parents, you know, about the loss of your child and so that people don't lose their children.
So you don't lose your child.
But there's also children that are being brought into this country and they're being trafficked into this country and they are disappearing into this country.
That was the big story that came out, the inspector general's report where it shows that, you know, we have over the roughly 500,000 unaccompanied minors that have come into this country that we know of.
Over 300,000 have disappeared into the fabric of our nation.
We have no idea what's happening to them.
We have no idea if they are being held by predators that are doing unthinkable things to them.
They're calling out for our help.
And this is the policy.
This is the Biden-Harris.
Okay, there I go.
I said Biden again.
We don't even know who is running the White House.
Who is running?
I think it's Obama.
I think it's like a secret group, you know, that like with Nancy Pelosi.
Oh, by the way, I wish I had this clip.
I don't know if you guys can pull it up, but if you do, great.
If not, it's not on our list.
I'm sorry.
But I was just thinking about when Nancy called herself a reptilian.
Do you know, she called, ah, see, she called herself a reptilian.
Yes, she said they were very cold-blooded and that she was a reptilian.
That was a really good clip.
I personally, I called her a vampire.
And I felt like I didn't do her justice when she called herself a reptilian.
But this is what this administration has done.
You know, I'm being funny here.
I'm trying to be funny, but because that's the only way to handle this.
But when you think of how our nation has taken a turn for the worst, how we have gone from, you know, President Trump, you know, and his presidency.
And by the way, in the 20 years that I covered the U.S. southern border, in the 20 years that I have covered the cartels, the only president, and I am telling you the truth, the only president that has ever done anything about that border and meant what he said has been President Donald J. Trump.
That's it.
Oh, we have the reptilian clip.
Linda found the reptilian.
Let's play the reptilian clip.
But they didn't know what they were talking about.
We know our, we're different from the presidential.
We're very discreet, reptilian, cold-blooded.
These are the races we have to win.
Others are winning the whole country.
10.
As a joke around about that, I want you to very seriously understand that that is exactly who they are.
These Democrats are telling you exactly who they are.
Nancy Pelosi is showing you who she really is and what they're willing to do.
They did it to Joe Biden for crying out loud.
They just stabbed him in the back like he was in prison or something.
Like they walked up, they play all these games because they were using him as a puppet because he never really was the president of these United States.
Like I said, it's somebody else.
They're running the show.
They were using him like a puppet and he was willing to be used.
Do not feel sorry for him.
He was willing to be used.
And now he's deteriorating.
His health is deteriorating.
And Kamala Harris knew all along she lied to you.
The Democrats lied to you.
And they will continue to lie to you.
They lie to you about the border.
They flip-flop on everything.
And especially Kamicama chameleon.
That's all I think about when I ever see that.
Kama-Kama chameleon.
That's who she is.
She just changes.
She changes her colors.
She switches her tune.
She plays you like, you know, like a violin.
She plays you.
And you're expected to believe and buy her BS.
You're expected to believe that.
I want to play a clip here because any clip will obviously show what a chameleon she is or what a liar she is and how she has been playing us when, especially when it comes to the border.
And I want you to listen to this.
First, let's go to.
I want to play this clip right now.
I want to play this clip, Linda.
Linda's like, two minutes, Sarah, while you're looking through your clips.
You know, I've got like a list of clips here.
No, I like your show already.
It's very transparent.
Everything I say to you in your ear, you announce on the air.
It's what I'm doing.
Yes, I do.
I do because I love you.
I love this.
By the way, in secret, Linda just told me.
I'm like, in secret, Linda just told me, she said, I have two minutes or I could play the clip.
I'm going to play the clip because we're Americans.
You guys are working with me, right?
You're working with me together on this.
Let's play Kamala's support for illegal immigrants.
Will not deport them.
Let's play that.
If someone is here without documents and that is their only offense, is that person to be deported?
I will say, no, absolutely not.
They should not be deported.
And I actually, this was one of the very few issues with which I disagreed with the administration, with whom I otherwise had a great relationship and a great deal of respect.
But on the secure communities issue, I was Attorney General of California.
I led the second largest Department of Justice in the United States, second only to the United States Department of Justice in a state of 40 million people.
And on this issue, I disagreed with my president because the policy was to allow deportation of people who, by ICE's own definition, were non-criminals.
So as Attorney General and the Chief Law Officer of the State of California, I issued a directive to the sheriffs of my state that they did not have to comply with detainers.
So you support giving.
Play the rest of that clip for you on the other side of this break.
This is Sarah Carter in for Sean Hannity.

What I told people I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
It's almost a dirty word, one that connotes conspiracy theory.
Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre?
Bad faith, political warfare, and frankly, bullshit.
We kill the ambassador just to cover something up.
You put two and two together.
Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy?
Benghazi is a Rosetta Stone for everything that's been going on for the last 20 years.

Come and go.
You know what?
Linda was right.
I wouldn't have enough time to play the Kama-Cameleon clip.
I want you to hear the rest of this clip as she tells the truth about what she really wants to do to our borders and immigration.
So you support giving universal health care, Medicare for all to people who are in this country illegally?
Let me just be very clear about this.
I'm opposed to any policy that would deny in our country any human being from access to public safety, public education, or public health, period.
As you know, Iga, I've worked on this issue for almost my entire career and have always been an advocate for immigrants, documented and undocumented.
I believe if someone crosses over the border, it's illegally, it is illegal, and you would decriminalize it.
I would not make it a crime punishable by jail.
It should be a civil enforcement issue, but not a criminal enforcement issue.
All these detention facilities, the private prisons, the private detention facilities, they all need to be shut down.
Yeah, so imagine another four years of that, right?
Imagine another four years of kama, kama, kama, chameleon.
Imagine another four years of just wide open borders.
You know why she likes that?
Because she sees future voters.
That's just a fact.
That's the next step.
That's what she wants.
She wants future voters.

Oh, Sarah, we found your car.
Go get it, Linda.
You know what?
They're coming for me.
You know what?
They actually shut down my ability to see where my car was at, the Toyota app did, because they didn't want me to go.
Who knows?
They are so aggressive.
They are so aggressive in Mexico.
Damn cartel.
So aggressive.
The Nueva Laredo cartel, they'll say that's, I'm going to go over there and get it.
No, but actually, they shut down my app where I could see it actually through the car system because they were afraid I would go to Nueva Laredo and go retrieve my vehicle.
Like I'm an idiot.
I'm not sure everybody.
They were like, well, yeah, but I'm not an idiot.
Come on, we got to move it.
Yeah, you know what?
I wouldn't be coming back.
I wouldn't be coming back with my truck.
I'm going to tell you that if I went in there to go get it.
So now I just follow them on my tile.
That's what I do.
This is Sarah Carter back in for Sean Hannity.
I'm so happy to be here today.
I got to tell you, we have such an amazing guest.
It's Chad Robishaw.
He is an author.
He is, I don't like to use the word former, and I see former in there.
I always like to say retired Forrest Recon Marine.
Forrest Recon Marine, he is an amazing guy.
He offers an honest, no-hold bards account of what has really been happening in Ukraine.
He does it through his book, A Mission Without Borders.
Folks, listen to this.
A mission without borders.
A father and son risked it all for the people of Ukraine.
And he is going to explain why he did that.
And more importantly, he saved a lot of lives as well in Afghanistan after that horrendous maneuver by the Kamelean Harris administration and what happened there and how many lives we lost, both civilian as well as our troops that were there at Abbey Gate.
Chad Robishaw, thank you so much for coming on the Sean Hannity Show with Sarah Carter.
Hey, Sarah, thanks for having me on.
Yeah, no, thank you for being on.
I got to tell you, you know, when I saw you were with Forrest Recon, you know, I was in Afghanistan.
I spent a lot of time covering the war there.
And there were a few missions I went on operations with the Marines in Helmand province.
And I got to tell you, yeah, every time.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
So you know, you remember what it was like there in Helmand, right?
That was a rough, rough place.
It was a rough place.
We lost a lot of lives.
We lost a lot of great men and women in this war against terror.
And you know what impresses me the most, Chad, is that you have continued to serve your country and to serve people.
And I want to talk a little bit about that.
Your book, A Mission Without Borders.
I think everybody should go get this book.
It's amazing.
Talk a little bit about what drove you to go to Ukraine and talk a little bit about, you know, how I think Afghanistan affected those decisions as well.
Yeah, well, Afghanistan certainly affected it.
You know, I did eight diplomas to Afghanistan as part of a JSOC task force.
And through that time, I had one interpreter because of my job working as the AFO.
I worked in a singleton capacity by myself with one other Afghan interpreter and to go do all the clandestine logistics to put our soldiers on target.
And that developed a very close personal relationship with Aziz was his name.
And we did all eight diplomas together.
He saved my life multiple times.
We've spent weeks, months out on operations, just the two of us.
And I mean, I lived in his home.
I held his babies when they were born.
So it was very close to him.
And so when the withdrawal was announced by President Biden, I made the decision to go back and get Aziz's wife and six kids.
And I put together a small special operations team to do that, which ultimately, without getting into the whole story, God performed a miracle.
And we didn't only rescue Aziz and his wife and six kids, but 17,000 people, which has chronicled another book called Saving Aziz being made in a film.
But through that, what I really learned about the Afghanistan withdrawal is that this administration was willing to leave Americans and our allies behind and had no regard for the safety and security of American citizens abroad.
And not only did I realize that, but the whole world recognized the weakness of this withdrawal.
I mean, we forfeited the most strategic place in the globe, Bagam Air Base between Iraq, Iran, Russia, and China.
We left $80 billion in equipment.
We left our biometrics software for the Taliban to systematically kill our allies.
We left Americans there.
We left 20 million women and little girls there.
And by the way, if you don't know, we've been giving them $87 million a week ever since to grow and fund their terrorist network.
There are two people who are on the sanctioned list, people on the FBI's top 10 most wanted list we're giving that money to.
But through all that, go ahead.
No, no, no, because I just want to take a moment here and I want people to understand this is What we were warning about after the fall of Kabul, right?
When the Biden administration just basically handed everything over to the Taliban, handed everything over to the terrorists.
It has endangered everybody's life.
It's endangered our lives here in the United States.
It's endangered lives all over the world.
They are now the most well-funded terrorist organization on the planet.
And when I was there, I experienced, you know, that closeness with our allies, with Afghan allies that did everything, put their lives on the line, lost their lives defending American troops that they believed because they wanted so much to believe that their nation would one day change, that they would want, they would one day have a nation that was as strong and with a democratic process like we have here in the United States.
And sadly, we not only abandoned them, we abandoned, in my opinion, our troops and the work that they did to fight against the terrorists and the work that they put into all of the sacrifices that they made for their families.
It's greatly impacted.
I mean, Mighty Oaks Foundation and Foundation, I've run the applications after the Afghanistan withdrawal spiked and with so many guys who served in Afghanistan just really struggling to validate their service and their loss, loss of friends, loss of their youth, loss of their mental health and spiritual health, all these things.
And so on a national security level, I mean, you're talking about four Al-Qaeda training camps when we withdrew.
There's 50 Al-Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan.
Absolutely.
We're giving them $87 million a week, half of which is in pallets of cash going to people, like I said earlier, sanctioned by the United States government.
For those people of the eight people that cash goes to on FBI's top 10 most wanted lists.
By the way, the White House doesn't get a exemption to give cash to sanctioned people.
It's against the law to do that, but they're doing it.
But back to your question, when that happened, I realized that this administration does not care if they will leave Americans behind.
And the whole world was watching.
Our enemies are watching.
And Putin, Valdemir Putin's, thought, hey, I couldn't do it during the four years.
And if you look back, 2014, he took Crimea.
During the four years of President Trump, he did nothing.
And now he has Biden in a White House who just demonstrated his weakness on a global national scale.
And so he put 100,000 troops on the Ukrainian border.
He flexed, and Biden did exactly the same thing.
He removed a U.S. troops out of Ukraine, only 160.
But if you understand Article 5 of Article 5 of NATO, any troops there is a deterrent.
He closed our embassy and consulate, moved out.
That caused the arrest of NATO.
It was a cause and effect, Chad.
It was a cause and effect.
It was a cause and effect.
We knew that when that happened in Afghanistan, when Afghanistan toppled the way it did, it opened the door for all of our adversaries.
And they said, wow, look what we can do now.
Now is the time to strike.
And that's exactly what they did.
It was game on.
You're 100% right.
And especially with when you think about it, I want to go back to something that you said that I think is very important.
And then we'll go right into Ukraine, I promise.
But you talk about how our soldiers, our troops, Marines, Army, my husband's Army, you know, special operator, how they feel and how they felt abandoned by this administration, how their work and all their sacrifices led to psychological issues, as well as, you know, the sacrifices that they made.
A lot of our men and women came back injured.
My husband came back blind.
I mean, he lost his eyesight and had, but those sacrifices that they made were because they wanted to protect our country.
They wanted to keep those terrorists at bay.
But instead, now we've got 50 terrorist training camps.
That's what you said.
50 terrorist training camps in Afghanistan right now.
Which is a violation of the Doha Agreement, if it ever meant anything anyway.
But I mean, what you're looking at is a national security crisis because of the fact that with the military having this perspective and a lack of trust in the administration, the commander in chief, you have really seasoned guys who have done years in the military getting out.
You have legacy families like mine who have served 84 years in every war since World War I, not encouraging their children to join.
I mean, the recruiting in the military is down 35%.
That's considering that they lowered standards and bringing in unqualified people into the military.
It's still down 35%.
It's a woke military, too.
It's a woke military, too, where they put more into the ideology of being woke than anything else.
Yeah, people and young men and women don't join for that.
They join to defend our nation and defend people around the world who can't defend themselves.
They don't join for DEI conferences and transgender ideology training and all this stuff.
That's not what our young men and women join for.
There's no place in the military.
Yeah, there is no place for that in the military.
I want to talk a little bit about your book, A Mission Without Borders, because I think this is, it's so beautifully written.
And you have here, you are a father with your son, and you're going to Ukraine.
And talk a little bit about what, you know, what, why you decided to bring your son first of all and what you were doing in Ukraine about those rescues.
Because I think there's a lot of controversy when we bring up Ukraine and we bring up what's happening in that region.
And a lot of people are like, hey, we need to stay out of this.
Some people are saying, hey, we need to, you know, support the Ukrainians.
And there's been a lot of controversy in the United States over whether or not we should be supporting Ukraine.
But talk about what you're doing as far as rescuing.
Well, my first thing was, you know, looking at what happened in Afghanistan, seeing how the Americans were left because when Biden moved out our embassy and consulates, it was the same in Afghanistan.
We're like, hey, Americans are going to be left behind.
Putin's going to go across.
This is going to be a bloodbath because now you're talking about a first world nation attacking another first world nation with world superpower arsenal.
And so we need to get Americans out.
So we, my team moved into there a week before the invasion and we preemptively started preparing to move Americans out that were left behind by this administration.
That was the original reason to go.
As we put our team together, my son, and like I said, we have 84 years of service in our family.
Both my sons are Marines as well.
My oldest son, Hunter, and I both served in Afghanistan.
I did eight deployments.
He did one.
He actually did a kinetic combat deployment.
So he's a combat veteran.
He really wants to participate.
And as a father, you know, it's one thing to let your son be involved in stuff like that, but to bring him into an active war zone is something that any father would not want to do.
And so I talk a lot about in the book of that because, you know, he was burning, his heart was burdened for the same way as my was to go and help these people.
And we've gotten a lot of pushback from, I'm a very strong conservative.
I'm a patriot and love this country.
I'm a strong Christian, but I got a lot of pushback from the Christian community and conservatives emailing us like, what are you doing in Ukraine?
Why are you helping?
Zawinski's corrupt and we're sending hundreds of billions of dollars there that is going into the corruption.
And by the way, I hear that and I agree with it.
That $170 billion did not go where it needs to go.
It's going to the pockets of corrupt politicians who, by the way, have the ability to end this war in 24 hours, but won't because they're profiteering off of it.
They don't talk about peace, but they could end it in 24 hours.
I'm convinced of that.
But so I am not going there for President Zawinski.
He is corrupt.
I'm not going there for President Biden.
The reason me and my team is supposed to go there is for the innocent people that are the victims of corruption.
The million people that have been killed since then.
I mean, when you go there and see ballistic missiles the size of telephone posts flown in apartment buildings where only women and children live, if your heart's not moved by that, then, you know, because of your politics, if your compassion for people is jaded by your politics, you should probably change your politics.
absolutely agree with you, Chad.
You know, spending time in a war zone changes your perspective on everything.
You know, I talk to people a lot about what happened in Afghanistan, and I still have a family there.
I mean, I was able to get out a number of families.
I remember just staying up at night on the phone for weeks straight, my husband and I trying to get people out.
I'm sure you went through the same thing of being on the ground and the chaos that surrounded that and the people that we really entrusted with our lives, people like your friend, your interpreter, who helped save your life on a number of occasions.
And that's what we go through every single day: how do you bring that message to the American people and let them know what's going on?
Before I let you go, I want to ask you, you know, where can people go to find your book?
Where can they go to find out more about you?
And listen, folks, this is about saving lives.
This is about doing the right thing.
Chad Robishaw is like all the men and women in our military and all volunteer force that are doing everything they can because it is in their spirit and their heart to save us and to save our nation and to save others.
And I want to be there to support you, Chad.
Where can they go to get your book and where can they go to support you?
Anywhere books are sold.
And like you said, you know, one of the things is to let people know what really happened there that isn't told in the media.
One of the things that we cover in the book is the rescue of Fox News reporter Benjamin Hull and the recovery of the body of Pierre and Pierre, the Fox correspondent who's there 25 years.
And so all these amazing stories, the story of me and my son going into Ukraine, eventually taking him in Ukraine and why I did that.
These are important stories that need to be told, but it's not just about selling a book.
It's about awareness and it's also about when we do sell these books, it helps support our efforts to continue doing these missions around the world.
So anywhere else, God bless you.
Amazon or anywhere else, you could go and you can follow me on Instagram.
That's the best place to keep up with me.
