00:00:15.000 We dive into that and also an update of how Joe Biden is allowing dogs be brought to their slaughter in Afghanistan and so much more.

00:01:39.000 I love German Shepherds, and I'm glad you love this podcast.
00:01:42.000 Those are two things that Joe Biden seemingly doesn't like.
00:01:44.000 He does have a German Shepherd, but he has led many to the slaughter. 0.61
00:01:47.000 And unfortunately, we talk about that in this podcast.
00:01:50.000 Email us your thoughts, freedom, atcharlikirk.com.
00:01:53.000 So much going on.
00:01:54.000 Buckle up, everybody.

00:02:00.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:02:56.000 There's a lot happening right now in the country that I want to get into.
00:03:00.000 I want to really get into this wonderful article by Michael Anton from The American Mind about importing enemies, the willingness of our leaders to bring in Afghan refugees with no understanding whatsoever. 0.98
00:03:18.000 Maybe they do have an understanding or they just don't care because it's not coming to their neighborhood.
00:03:21.000 It's not coming to Beverly Hills.
00:03:24.000 It's not coming to Highland Park.
00:03:26.000 But at least the way they're communicating it is: why are we bringing these people over in the first place?
00:03:30.000 I want to get into that article in a moment, but I want to begin with something I watched very carefully last evening.
00:03:38.000 Rarely do you get to see a performance where so many of the trends we talk about here on this program, the philosophical trends, the spiritual trends, the political trends, all get summarized in one speech.
00:03:53.000 There was a speech last evening done by Tony Blinken.
00:03:59.000 Blinken is the Secretary of State of the United States.
00:04:04.000 And how far have we fallen from Mike Pompeo to Tony Blinken?
00:04:09.000 Tony Blinken looks like the guy that would have been friends with Jack Black as they collected old Nirvana CDs and talked about chords that they could play on their guitars while smoking weed till three o'clock in the morning.
00:04:29.000 That's who Tony Blinken reminds me of.
00:04:31.000 Tony Blinken is a perfect example in his speech last evening about what has just happened in Afghanistan, which is an unmitigated disaster.
00:04:42.000 Some would say a treasonous disaster.
00:04:43.000 It's hard to disagree with that when you see really what's happened with the $83 billion in military equipment given over to the Taliban, the handing over of Kabul to the Taliban, willingly giving over Kabul.
00:05:01.000 Not to mention, new report has come out, and we will get into this story as well, on how the Biden regime decided to give all of our wonderful service dogs to the Taliban.
00:05:18.000 And no, the Taliban are not going to use them.
00:05:21.000 They're probably going to eat them, or they'll give them the Chinese to eat them. 1.00
00:05:25.000 The Chinese are very big in eating dogs. 1.00
00:05:29.000 This is evil. 0.94
00:05:30.000 And I'm not saying that dogs' lives matter more than human lives, but you have to have a real demented bone in your body, like the Biden regime, to just get on an airplane and leave the dogs behind.
00:05:41.000 Something's seriously wrong with you. 0.95
00:05:43.000 But Tony Blinken's speech yesterday and this entire saga of Kabul was an unexpected masterclass on how our leaders rule through failure, how they rule through arrogance, how they rule in a foolish and yet focused way. 0.54
00:06:10.000 If we had an honest media, which we don't, this entire saga would be written up in books that would be published by Thanksgiving.
00:06:18.000 Kabul, how our ruling class betrayed America's 20 years in a distant country. 0.70
00:06:25.000 And what Tony Blinken showed last evening in his pathetic address, that's the only way I could possibly put it. 0.96
00:06:35.000 First of all, he's one of the worst public speakers we've ever had. 0.99
00:06:39.000 He's almost mumbling.
00:06:41.000 And he went through in great detail how this has been a success.
00:06:46.000 How dare you question what we've done in Afghanistan?
00:06:49.000 13 Marines dead.
00:06:51.000 We just randomly killed some guy going to the supermarket and his eight children. 0.99
00:06:57.000 So part of the strategy, if I were to kind of analyze what's happening, and by the way, I could go through every single lie that these clowns have told. 0.99
00:07:06.000 I go through Mark Milley's lies. 0.96
00:07:08.000 I could go through John Kirby's lies.
00:07:10.000 I could go through Lloyd Austin's lies.
00:07:12.000 And they're so slippery, aren't they?
00:07:16.000 I have a new category of people that I think are some of the more slippery types of individuals.
00:07:22.000 You know, it's like, oh, that's a used car salesman or, oh, that's an ambulance chasing lawyer.
00:07:27.000 No, that's a Pentagon bureaucrat.
00:07:31.000 A Pentagon bureaucrat.
00:07:33.000 Slippery, double-minded, unwilling to tell the truth.
00:07:39.000 So Tony Blinken in Cut 34 first said, and again, this could be taught in a legitimate college class, not most of the places that you send your children.
00:07:49.000 But if you actually wanted to tell the audience, where are we?
00:07:53.000 Who's in charge?
00:07:55.000 What are their motivations?
00:07:56.000 There is no better example than the Tony Blinken speech last night.
00:08:01.000 From how it was written, how it was delivered, the arrogance, the deceitfulness of which the entire speech was presented.
00:08:13.000 You would use the term Orwellian, but I struggle to even say that because Orwell, in his characters around Airstrip One, they had more commitment of a truth to truth than Tony Blinken.
00:08:27.000 Cut 34.
00:08:28.000 More than 123,000 people have been safely flown out of Afghanistan.
00:08:35.000 That includes about 6,000 American citizens.
00:08:39.000 This has been a massive military, diplomatic, and humanitarian undertaking.
00:08:44.000 One of the most difficult in our nation's history.
00:08:47.000 And an extraordinary feat of logistics and coordination under some of the most challenging circumstances imaginable.
00:08:53.000 123,000 people have been flown out of Afghanistan, only 6,000 of them American citizens, less than 5%.
00:09:01.000 This is what he calls one of the most difficult diplomatic humanitarian undertakings anywhere. 1.00
00:09:06.000 However, he thinks you're stupid. 0.98
00:09:09.000 You see, the Yale and Harvard-educated speechwriters at the State Department who have never actually been overseas, their idea of being, yes, very foreign traveled is going to Paris or going to Oxford. 0.99
00:09:21.000 Yes, I'm very cultured.
00:09:22.000 I went to school with somebody who's the son of the king of Saudi Arabia.
00:09:26.000 Don't you understand how cultured I am?
00:09:29.000 I went to Oxford with someone whose father owns a 747 jet from Riyadh.
00:09:36.000 And now I write speeches for Tony Blinken.
00:09:38.000 I'm so sophisticated.
00:09:40.000 You see, as soon as they try to change the prism by saying, well, this is one of the most difficult in our nation's history.
00:09:46.000 Yeah, you created it.
00:09:49.000 They're trying to make an example.
00:09:50.000 Oh, this was Schindler's List, is what Joy Reed says.
00:09:53.000 Or this was Dunkirk.
00:09:58.000 It's the opposite of Dunkirk.
00:10:00.000 In Dunkirk, you allowed private contractors the ability to get out.
00:10:04.000 And all those examples are complete, are complete balderdash because this didn't have to be.
00:10:12.000 Biden handled Kabul in a quasi-treasonous way to the Taliban.
00:10:17.000 We know that thanks to the Washington Post.
00:10:19.000 They gave up Bagram Air Base.
00:10:22.000 They gave $85 billion of weapons to the enemy.
00:10:27.000 And Tony Blinken just stares at you and says, no, this was one of the greatest efforts ever.
00:10:33.000 Listen up, Patriots.
00:10:34.000 One of the most radical plans to reshape the future of America is happening right now, and we need to stop it.
00:10:41.000 President Biden's plan to pack the U.S. Supreme Court back in April, the president launched a special judicial commission to what he calls reform the court.
00:10:49.000 But the real plan is to install four more liberal justices to gain a, quote, automatic majority and ensure favorable rulings for his most radical policies.
00:10:59.000 And once the court is packed, it will end the rule of law as we know it, which is exactly what happened in Venezuela and Argentina.
00:11:05.000 Let's be clear.
00:11:06.000 America is not a banana republic.
00:11:08.000 Thankfully, my good friends at First Liberty Institute are taking a stand.
00:11:12.000 They've issued a letter to the commission asking them to reject this radical court packing scheme, and they're not alone.
00:11:17.000 Franklin Graham, Ed Meese, James Dobson, Tony Perkins, and many more, plus 60,000 others have joined their coalition.
00:11:24.000 But we need one million.
00:11:25.000 Add your name now.
00:11:26.000 Go to supremecoup.com.
00:11:28.000 That's C-O-U-P.com to sign First Liberty's letter.
00:11:31.000 That's supremecou.com.
00:11:33.000 God bless America.
00:11:36.000 The Biden regime was very quick to make sure that Afghans who don't speak English, even though we're told that they're translators, come to America.
00:11:44.000 They're in Wisconsin.
00:11:46.000 They're in Idaho.
00:11:46.000 Welcome to your new neighbors.
00:11:48.000 They hate you.
00:11:48.000 They hate your values, but welcome.
00:11:50.000 We must just, if you disagree, then you are a racist.
00:11:54.000 Joe Biden wanted as many Afghans to come to America as possible.
00:11:58.000 We don't even know how many, but you know who he didn't want to have come?
00:12:01.000 The dogs.
00:12:03.000 An animal rights group has slammed Biden after the military allegedly left its contract dogs behind in Afghanistan.
00:12:11.000 I have on good reports here from a friend of mine who runs one of those groups.
00:12:15.000 He said the following.
00:12:16.000 Credible sources are now telling me working dogs who are released at the Kabul airport per Department of Defense authority, Major General Christopher Donahue, are being shot and killed right now by the Taliban on airport runways.
00:12:30.000 Those U.S. allies locally on the ground who are still trying to help rescue or save dogs are being affiliated with America and therefore are being targeted by the Taliban, so we're having to cease efforts.
00:12:42.000 Not only is Joe Biden overseeing a civilian slaughter, not only did 13 Marines die on his watch last week, not only did Kabul get handed over by the Taliban, but the beautiful dogs that did nothing wrong are being slaughtered right now thanks to Joe Biden.
00:13:00.000 Maybe that will get suburban soccer moms to actually think about the soulless part of the regime. 1.00
00:13:04.000 It's kind of, you know, I joked around in a text message.
00:13:07.000 Obviously, human life comes first.
00:13:10.000 Human life is objectively more important than animal lives.
00:13:13.000 The Bible tells us this, and just basic reason tells us this.
00:13:17.000 But I'm a big dog fan.
00:13:18.000 I'm a big dog person.
00:13:19.000 I have a soft spot for dogs.
00:13:21.000 Cats, different conversation, okay?
00:13:24.000 Now, I'm not saying you should slaughter cats, but let's just be honest.
00:13:26.000 Dogs are, they're very special.
00:13:29.000 They're almost a window into your soulless humanity.
00:13:31.000 They're loyal.
00:13:33.000 They are, they cheer you up.
00:13:35.000 They never do anything wrong.
00:13:39.000 Joe Biden, of course, Joe Biden's dog, what's his dog's name is Major?
00:13:44.000 He keeps on biting people, right, in the White House.
00:13:46.000 I think they had to deport Major back to Delaware.
00:13:49.000 Joe Biden still gets his dog.
00:13:51.000 Now, again, this is such an easy question.
00:13:53.000 You have these massive empty planes leading out of Kabul, empty, no one on them.
00:13:58.000 Why couldn't you just put all the dogs on the planes? 0.86
00:14:00.000 Who's going to be held accountable for the Americans that are abandoned in Kabul?
00:14:05.000 Who's going to be held accountable for the $86 billion and the hundreds of thousands of rifles that the Taliban now have? 0.98
00:14:12.000 Do you know the Taliban are now flying Blackhawk helicopters with dissidents strung from them?
00:14:17.000 They found out how to fly a Black Hawk helicopter.
00:14:21.000 Will anyone from the Biden regime actually be held accountable?
00:14:24.000 And the answer is no, that's not the way this game works.
00:14:27.000 Your Republican politicians that you keep on sending to Washington, they haven't really fought for you the last 10 or 15 or 20 or 30 years.
00:14:35.000 They're okay with Mark Milley.
00:14:37.000 Many of the Republican politicians that you donate to and that you support, they're quietly trying to get stuff out of Mark Mille.
00:14:44.000 They don't care that service members are being vaccinated against their will or forced to be.
00:14:50.000 They're kind of indifferent about the fact that dogs are being led to their slaughter thanks to Biden.
00:14:56.000 They won't be held accountable because that's not the way this game works.
00:14:59.000 For those of you listening right now where you have an actual job, if you did something as horrific as what just happened in Kabul, the very least you'd have to do is admit your failure and apologize.
00:15:12.000 The current ruling class isn't even doing that.
00:15:14.000 The current Pentagon State Department cabal, they're trying to tell us, they are gaslighting you so you don't understand, this is the greatest success we've ever had in military evacuation history.
00:15:28.000 You should be thanking us.
00:15:30.000 Where's our parade?
00:15:33.000 We need a movie made about us quickly.
00:15:37.000 In fact, I want Matt Damon to act me as Tony Blinken.
00:15:42.000 I want Leonardo DiCaprio to play Joe Biden. 0.92
00:15:49.000 That's the way these sociopaths think.
00:15:52.000 They think all about themselves that we need the most amount of attention and praise imaginable, even though it is objectively one of the worst American foreign policy moments in history.

00:16:44.000 We're going to dive deeper into Tony Blinken's speech here and also into the psychology of the people in charge.
00:16:52.000 I have been asked numerous times, Charlie, how is it that we have people this incompetent, this void of wisdom, running our institutions?
00:17:00.000 I say, well, it makes perfect sense if you've been to a college campus lately.
00:17:04.000 And the college campuses are the incubators where wisdom goes to die and arrogance is bred, where deceitfulness is inculcated and treachery is encouraged.
00:17:18.000 The leaders of our institutions, prime example number one, Tony Blinken, have never actually ever had to be held accountable for anything consequential.
00:17:32.000 Tony Blinken said this in Cut 31.
00:17:37.000 He said, a new chapter of America's engagement with Afghanistan has begun.
00:17:42.000 It's one in which we will lead with our diplomacy.
00:17:44.000 The military mission is over.
00:17:46.000 A new diplomatic mission has begun.
00:17:48.000 Mind you, before we play this tape, how do you have a diplomatic mission without an embassy?
00:17:54.000 How do you have a diplomatic mission when you had to close your embassy out of fears that your own citizens would have to be killed, where we had to bring the flag down?
00:18:02.000 How exactly does diplomacy work with that, Tony Blinken?
00:18:06.000 You see, one of the great misnomers is that diplomacy can solve everything.
00:18:11.000 When it comes down to it, diplomacy is only effective when you have a bigger sword and a stick than the person across the table from you.
00:18:19.000 If you're going to rely solely on diplomacy with evil people, I got a book by Neville Chamberlain to sell you.
00:18:27.000 Cut 31.
00:18:29.000 U.S. military flights have ended, and our troops have departed to Afghanistan.
00:18:34.000 A new chapter of America's engagement with Afghanistan has begun.
00:18:38.000 It's one in which we will lead with our diplomacy.
00:18:42.000 The military mission is over.
00:18:44.000 A new diplomatic mission has begun.
00:18:47.000 The diplomatic mission that we don't have an embassy and we have no way to actually execute it.
00:18:53.000 Now, do you notice how they are experts, not at governing, but at deflecting and dodging?
00:19:01.000 One thing that Blinken is very good at is changing words, yet not necessarily always changing definitions, but changing the essence of what is being said.
00:19:15.000 A great example is when he was asked the other day, I think we have this tape.
00:19:19.000 We played it earlier, but it's worth playing again.
00:19:21.000 When they said, well, did you give lists to the Taliban?
00:19:24.000 He said, no, no, I didn't give lists.
00:19:26.000 We gave over manifests.
00:19:28.000 But isn't a manifest a list?
00:19:30.000 No, no, I know, but we gave over a manifest.
00:19:32.000 You asked if I gave over lists.
00:19:34.000 We didn't give a list.
00:19:35.000 We call it a manifest, therefore it's not a list.
00:19:36.000 Play tape.
00:19:37.000 The idea that we shared lists of Americans or others with the Taliban is simply wrong.
00:19:43.000 What was shared?
00:19:45.000 So, in specific instances, when you're trying to get a bus or a group of people through, and you need to show a manifest to do that, because particularly in cases where people don't have the necessary credentials on them or documents on them, then you'll share names of the list on people who bus so they can be assured that those are people that we're looking to bring in.
00:20:05.000 So, again, we call it a manifest, not a list, so therefore, it's not a list.
00:20:09.000 So, it's not a disaster, it's a transition.
00:20:14.000 It's not that Marines died.
00:20:16.000 No, they sacrificed.
00:20:19.000 It's not that we abandoned Americans in Kabul.
00:20:22.000 They're on vacation.
00:20:24.000 They're enjoying the weather.
00:20:26.000 It's beautiful this time of year in Kabul.
00:20:28.000 The hiking's nice.
00:20:30.000 And you're always on the move.
00:20:33.000 It's not that we're in a struggle with the Taliban.
00:20:36.000 There are partners.
00:20:40.000 We didn't, no Americans are stranded.
00:20:42.000 It's their choice to be there.
00:20:44.000 They want to go start a new life of opportunity.
00:20:47.000 You've never heard of the Afghanistan dream?
00:20:49.000 I mean, come on.
00:20:51.000 Where you can work hard and marry a 14-year-old and blow up a store if you want to. 0.99
00:20:56.000 It's the Afghanistan dream. 0.75
00:20:58.000 We didn't strand them.
00:20:59.000 They want to be there.
00:21:02.000 You see, part of the strategy for Tony Blinken is if they think they adjust the word and use a synonym of the word, you'll just stop asking questions.
00:21:10.000 And Chuck Todd didn't even ask a follow-up.
00:21:12.000 Like, hold on.
00:21:12.000 This is all you have to do.
00:21:13.000 Tony Blinken, hold on.
00:21:15.000 You said we don't have lists.
00:21:16.000 You just called it a manifest.
00:21:18.000 What the heck is a manifest?
00:21:20.000 And you'd have to do some, well, a manifest is a piece of paper with a bunch of names on it, right?
00:21:24.000 So it's a list.
00:21:26.000 Just because you use a synonym of the word and you're asked about the word doesn't make it any less true.
00:21:31.000 In Tony Blinken's speech, it became very clear that the type of leader this regime is focused on supporting and implementing is one that has never had to or want to take responsibility for their actions.
00:21:52.000 You see, leadership is not just about the perks and the benefits.
00:21:58.000 It's not just about the state dinners, the chauffeur cars, the staff at your beck and call, people bowing at your absurd title, like, oh, yes, Mr. Secretary.
00:22:10.000 It's not just about the aura of your unearned self-importance.
00:22:15.000 Leadership is also and truly about the stuff our rulers actually detest the most.
00:22:23.000 It's about sleepless nights, flag-draped coffins, unpredictable circumstances, terror bombings, press briefings, and hopefully the willingness to non-ideologically be honest and take responsibility for your actions and have some sort of sense of duty, not deflection.
00:22:46.000 This class of unelected czars of Millie and Kirby and Blinken and Austin, who sounds like a bad law firm from breaking bad, they want the lifestyle of being a leader.
00:23:01.000 They want the cars.
00:23:02.000 They want the staff.
00:23:04.000 They want the book deal.
00:23:06.000 They want the private jets, but they reject the responsibility.
00:23:12.000 They don't actually want to have to ever solve meaningful problems.
00:23:19.000 For them, it's not about a citizen government to help the country.
00:23:22.000 For them, it's a momentary position to be important so that they can then get their ticket into America's ruling class.
00:23:30.000 No matter how bad Kabul went, Tony Blinken will always be invited to Obama's birthday party from this point forward.
00:23:38.000 Tony Blinken's important.
00:23:40.000 Tony Blinken can now write a memoir of how unvaccinated white supremacist Twitter bloggers almost threw him off his game while he was trying to get the war in Afghanistan ended.
00:23:53.000 That we should all feel sorry for the grateful, dead, loving Nirvana listening to Tony Blinken, pot-smoking Secretary of State.
00:24:02.000 Man, we should feel sorry for him because he was getting really mean Twitter comments while he was trying to mess up what was happening in Kabul.
00:24:09.000 Tony Blinken's an important person, didn't you know that?
00:24:12.000 And since Tony Blinken is important and the whole government apparatus regime that he represents is as such, why should they ever have to take responsibility for what they've done?
00:24:24.000 The greatest leaders in the last couple hundred years are ones that rejected the prestige and the trappings of that position, and they were willing, that's right, willing to do uncomfortable yet magnanimous things to save the civilization.
00:24:44.000 Winston Churchill is the best example of this.
00:24:47.000 Winston Churchill had a relentless will, perseverance that was beyond comprehension.
00:24:54.000 Churchill rallied a nation to fight an existential evil and won and saved with it Western civilization.
00:25:00.000 Abraham Lincoln is another great example of that.
00:25:03.000 Tony Blinken is very similar to Neville Chamberlain.
00:25:07.000 Neville Chamberlain wanted peace so badly that he never wanted confrontation or conflict.
00:25:15.000 Tony Blinken, taking no questions yesterday, and I'm going to show you this tape here.
00:25:21.000 Tony Blinken being the perfect example of what you're dealing with.
00:25:28.000 You want to see what our colleges are producing?
00:25:30.000 It's that guy. 1.00
00:25:32.000 Weak, feeble, arrogant, conceited, self-righteous, narcissistic. 1.00
00:25:38.000 But Tony Blinken knows he can sleep well at night because he gets to have dinner served to him by masked servants. 0.99
00:25:48.000 He's an important person.
00:25:49.000 He drove home in a chauffeur car.
00:25:54.000 And he doesn't even know how many Americans are left behind.
00:25:56.000 Cut 33, he doesn't know how many people are left.
00:26:00.000 He said, look, we made extraordinary efforts and every opportunity to depart the country.
00:26:04.000 You know what this is like?
00:26:06.000 This would be like someone giving a press conference saying, look, I know that I have a problem being an arsonist.
00:26:12.000 And I understand that I started the Chicago fire, but then I picked up a bucket and I put out some embers.
00:26:19.000 I mean, I know that I started the Chicago fire and I know that I burned down the whole city, but come on.
00:26:25.000 I mean, I helped put it out eventually after all the damage.
00:26:28.000 That's what he's saying.
00:26:30.000 Look, look, I know we started the tragedy, but come on, I don't get any credit for like picking up a bucket of water and throwing some water on an open flame.
00:26:38.000 Cut 33.
00:26:39.000 We made extraordinary efforts to give Americans every opportunity to depart the country. 0.99
00:26:44.000 We believe there are still a small number of Americans, under 200 and likely closer to 100, who remain in Afghanistan and want to leave.
00:26:54.000 We're trying to determine exactly how many.
00:26:57.000 We don't know how many Americans there are.
00:27:00.000 We believe there's still a small number of Americans we're trying to determine how many.
00:27:05.000 And do you notice how everyone's pointing to one another?
00:27:07.000 He's pointing to DOD, and DOD is pointing to state.
00:27:10.000 No one wants to do what is necessary to govern the country, which is to take responsibility.
00:27:15.000 That's hard because you know what happens as soon as you take responsibility?
00:27:18.000 Accountability.
00:27:19.000 People can hold you accountable to that.
00:27:22.000 This regime was exposed in the midst of the Kabul crisis because it was so chaotic, deadly, and bloody that all of a sudden they could no longer blame the unvaccinated for what was happening in Kabul.
00:27:36.000 They always need a foil.
00:27:38.000 Remember this.
00:27:39.000 This is a law of the left.
00:27:40.000 They need a foil.
00:27:43.000 They need someone to point to.
00:27:45.000 They need someone to blame.
00:27:48.000 As we summarize what we've just seen in the last couple of weeks and quite honestly, a month, it's more clear than ever that our leadership class wants the importance of being in charge, but they don't actually want to do the tough stuff.
00:28:02.000 And the Chinese know this.
00:28:04.000 This is why they're going to exploit this to take Taiwan. 0.98
00:28:10.000 Look, the real estate market is really hot right now.
00:28:13.000 People are taking advantage of the low interest rates and the economic uncertainty by investing in real assets.
00:28:18.000 Whether you're a first-time buyer or just looking to make a change, the key to getting the property you want is being pre-qualified and having the cash in hand.
00:28:25.000 That's why you need to contact Andrew Delray and Todd Avakian at andrewandTodd.com.
00:28:32.000 I know these guys.

00:29:45.000 They're friends of mine.
00:29:46.000 Good people.
00:29:47.000 AndrewandTodd.com.
00:29:52.000 Wise men admit their mistakes. 1.00
00:29:54.000 Fools defend them. 1.00
00:29:56.000 We are being governed by fools, arrogant ones, too. 1.00
00:30:00.000 That is the worst combination. 1.00
00:30:01.000 It's okay not to know things.
00:30:03.000 In fact, I admire that.
00:30:06.000 And there's this great dialogue in Plato's Republic where Socrates is told that there's this very wise man that he must go see and talk to.
00:30:18.000 So Socrates goes to go meet this man.
00:30:21.000 And there's this wonderful sentence that Socrates has after meeting the man.
00:30:27.000 And I'm paraphrasing.
00:30:28.000 And I think his name was Thiocles or something.
00:30:30.000 I'm probably totally off on that.
00:30:33.000 But there's this wonderful, and I'm paraphrasing what Socrates said.
00:30:36.000 He said, I met the wise man, and while I don't consider myself wise, I do know that that man is not wise.
00:30:50.000 And that was kind of the original 2,500-year-old version of humble brag because it kind of had this almost meta-brag, this almost meta-hierarchy to it, which is: look, I'm not considering myself wise, but I'm actually going to tell you what is wise and what's not wise.
00:31:08.000 And that guy's not wise.
00:31:11.000 And Tony Blinken, Biden, Austin Harris, the deflection and the dodging, the double speak.
00:31:21.000 It's enough where all of a sudden, are we going to trust anything our leaders ever tell us again?
00:31:26.000 By the way, I don't want that to be the case.
00:31:29.000 I don't want a place where all of a sudden I don't trust any of the institutions that exist.
00:31:37.000 That is not healthy.
00:31:38.000 I actually want a government that I trust.
00:31:41.000 I want a State Department that is not looking as if ISIS is filming their video, like it's some sort of B-rate hostage film in a basement in southern Syria.
00:31:52.000 So how did we get here?
00:31:54.000 Well, that's a longer question to explore.
00:31:58.000 But the main reason we got here is because the Founding Fathers gave us a system that has not been followed.
00:32:06.000 One of the characteristics of the system that the Founding Fathers gave us in the United States Constitution is checks and balances, a check on power.
00:32:17.000 And since we do not have an opposition party, Republicans, the State Department doesn't fear anything that could possibly come out of Congress.
00:32:26.000 They're unchecked.
00:32:28.000 There is no one, no institution that is holding them to account. 0.98
00:32:33.000 Unaccountable action with lots of power and lots of money and lots of prestige is almost always a recipe for the arrogant and the foolish coming together and governing your country into oblivion. 0.97
00:32:50.000 And that's been best. 0.51
00:32:52.000 That is the best example I can give over the last 30 days of what's happened in Afghanistan, in Kabul.
00:32:59.000 Deep down, Tony Blinken is not interested.
00:33:02.000 Jake Sullivan is not interested.
00:33:04.000 Jen Saki is not interested in the betterment of the country. 0.50
00:33:08.000 For them, this is all about the Charlie and the chocolate factory equivalent of getting the golden ticket.
00:33:17.000 They now have the golden ticket.
00:33:19.000 They're allowed into the chocolate factory.
00:33:21.000 They are allowed to Obama's birthday party from this point forward.
00:33:24.000 They now get to be important.
00:33:26.000 They get the name on the stationary regardless of how horrific of a job they have done.
00:33:31.000 It doesn't matter how much blood is spilled, dogs are slaughtered, civilians are murdered on the way to the grocery store, Marines are killed.
00:33:38.000 It doesn't matter.
00:33:40.000 All they have to do from this point forward is utter the party line, protect entrench interests, cover up for disasters that remain, be clever and treacherous enough to navigate the institutions, and they're important.
00:33:55.000 The incentive structure is not to govern and to create success.
00:33:59.000 The incentive structure, instead, is to become the cleanup squad after Chernobyl.
00:34:09.000 Not the cleanup squad of the actual nuclear spill, the cleanup squad of actually what happened with the government actions before that.
00:34:17.000 That's who they are.
00:34:18.000 Because then they get the golden ticket to the chocolate factory.
00:34:24.000 They get to be important while you remain subservient.
