Pat and Stu discuss Joe Biden's Afghanistan speech and how it could have been handled better. They also talk about how to prepare for a recession and what to do if the economy goes into a tailspin and how to get out of it.
00:25:46.080We are focused on Christians, but there is, you don't have any idea how many people are marked for death and we have abandoned, including American citizens.
00:26:30.920There was no chance of rescue efforts.
00:26:34.200And the head, the COO of the Nazarene Fund, we've had him on.
00:26:39.980We'll have him on tonight to talk about it.
00:26:42.080I have not said this previously because I didn't want anybody to change any of the rules while we still had a chance of getting people out of Kabul.
00:26:53.500JSOC made the head of the Nazarene Fund, our COO, the head of all commercial flights in and out of Kabul.
00:30:28.200It's like the people who used to call sports radio all the time and say, what if the Yankees had Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, and Babe Ruth right now on this team?
00:37:10.240And yes, they're destroying us at the same time.
00:37:13.360But if we remain always loyal to the principles of this country, if we remain loyal to the United States as first stated in our Declaration of Independence,
00:37:29.800and we do the right thing and we square ourselves with God, say, Lord, I will take all of the punishment that is coming to me.
00:37:39.480I will, please, I beg you, don't pass it on to our children, please, please, we will do the hard things.
00:42:07.840We are working hard to get the truth out to you.
00:42:11.500Uh, and we're also trying hard to get Americans, persecuted Christians, and women, girls, all of these people that are marked for death by the Taliban.
00:42:29.360Uh, but at the same time, it seems as though the State Department and our administration is doing all they can to discredit, destroy, and obstruct anyone who's trying to do that.
00:42:41.840Somebody who worked tirelessly last night, and I can't tell you, nor can she, what she worked on last night.
00:42:49.080But she was, she, oh, I feel bad for anybody who was on the other side of the phone call or the conversations with Marsha Blackburn yesterday.
00:43:12.140Great things often go away too quickly, and that's sort of the case with the GenuCell summer sale.
00:43:17.900You might think it lasts forever, but it's, it's not.
00:43:20.460Unfortunately, there's only one more week of the GenuCell sale.
00:43:22.880During that time, all packages are 50% off.
00:43:25.460That's online orders only at GenuCell.com.
00:43:28.36050% off classics, including GenuCell for eye bags and puffiness, GenuCell eyelid lift, and the legendary anti-aging moisturizer, GenuCell 15.
00:43:47.760You're going to see skin smooth as silk and free from redness.
00:43:51.360And, of course, sunspots are going to disappear before your eyes as well.
00:43:56.040I buy this for my mom like every year, and she loves it.
00:43:59.100And if you've been waiting to clear up that sagging under the chin, maybe those bags under the eyes, or even just take care of some skin blemishes, take advantage of the sale while it lasts.
00:44:50.400We are doing our best to be extraordinarily frugal and faithful to you, because I know what that donation—I don't care if it was a dollar, I know what it meant to you.
00:45:06.080And you can still donate, if you haven't yet, to NazareneFund.org or MercuryOne.org.
00:45:12.060We continue to rescue thousands of people.
00:45:16.560I will be able to tell you someday, hopefully very soon, what we're working on last night.
00:45:25.420A lot of people were taken out, and I will tell you, it is because we had a few pit bulls on our side.
00:45:34.620I think we had three senators and a few congressmen that were all up in the face of the State Department.
00:45:41.620And probably the one I would not want to be on the receiving end of, at least this is what I was told last night, is Marsha Blackburn.
00:45:50.880She is the senator from Tennessee, and I wanted to publicly thank her for helping last night.
00:46:00.420I am doing well, Glenn, and thank you for the great work that y'all are doing trying to rescue people.
00:46:08.220It is astounding to me that we have an administration that has proven themselves to be very intentional in creating a mess.
00:46:22.280And I say that intentionally because they have gone about this in such a way they knew what was going to happen.
00:46:32.760And I believe that they made decisions that they wanted to have a date certain that they could say they ended this war.
00:46:43.680It didn't matter to them if they turned this over to the Taliban, because what they have done in this war is to take an ideology that we were fighting, the war on terror.
00:48:27.240One of the things that has really bugged me about the entire process as they've moved forward is that they will not secure the southern border.
00:48:37.760We've already apprehended known terrorists at the southern border.
00:48:42.280France has apprehended a terrorist who escaped from Bagram after we foolishly turned over the Bagram airfield.
00:48:51.220So, Joe Biden, the decisions that he has made along the way are so out of where the advice of intel or military would have been that you have no other way that you can look at it other than to say, I guess they did this intentionally.
00:49:14.600Well, tell me, I know we can't talk about what you were working on last night.
00:49:21.760Can you just tell me if it was successful in the end?
00:50:31.120You know, Glenn, I think it is more than that, because they had said 10 to 15,000.
00:50:36.380Uh, you look at the number of cases that many of us, our caseworkers in our offices have worked on and you start looking at what we're doing and then you hear them say, well, all of a sudden they went from as many as 15,000 down to 5,500 and or 6,000 or 6,500.
00:51:06.120But, you know, the fact that they could give you the inventory on the military weapons, the fact that they could tell you the exact number of people that have not been vaccinated for COVID, but in the U.S. military.
00:51:22.460But they cannot tell you the number of Americans or where they are located who are in Afghanistan and who are seeking to get out and to say they called every one of these people 19 times.
00:51:52.080We're hearing other stories of people who went to the airport.
00:51:56.140We know of people who are SIVs that went and could not get in.
00:52:00.640So this has been complete disarray and the way they approach this, pulling the military out first, leaving citizens, leaving our partners, whether they're our NATO partners, allies or our Afghan partners that are there.
00:52:18.880And to me, these precious souls who are there, who are now going to have to suffer, these women and girls who are going to be raped, they're going to be turned into sex slaves, they're being forced into marriages to these Taliban fighters.
00:57:27.880An army colonel assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division wrote Sunday in frustration in a series of encrypted text messages that detailed the failed effort to get a group of American citizens out hours before the last soldiers departed Afghanistan.
00:57:42.920The text messages and emails were provided to just the news by Michael Yon, a former special forces soldier and war correspondent.
00:57:53.060Yon told just the news that a group of Americans were abandoned at the Kabul airport.
00:57:59.220We had them out there waving their passports, screaming, I am an American.
00:58:03.620In the heart-wrenching scene, it unfolded this weekend as U.S. military prepared to exit the capital.
00:58:12.140People were turned away from our gate by our own army.
00:58:17.120After the episode ended, the Americans scattered to safe houses to avoid being captured.
00:58:22.140You guys left American citizens at the gate.
00:58:25.260Three empty jets paid for by volunteers were waiting for them.
01:01:55.080If you just agree with us and don't murder our citizens, we'll give you lots of money and access to markets,
01:02:00.600which I know is a high priority for Islamic extremists.
01:02:03.640And China is there already offering you, you know, access to their market.
01:02:08.980And many of our corporations have sold our country out because that market seems to be worth more than this market.
01:02:15.220So let's just let's just try to con you into believing that we have any power or any market that you want access to other than to destroy it.
01:02:27.080Why is anyone giving these people the benefit of the doubt at this time?
01:06:52.800And here's why they are trained not to like the Taliban.
01:06:58.660If the Taliban came and saw them all in the airport in cages, those dogs would go crazy.
01:07:06.460And they would kill the dogs before they got out of the cage, I'm guessing, by the way, the dogs would have been right for going crazy, seeing the Taliban open their cage.
01:07:20.840And there is a little bit of hope that one of them had a Taliban member by the throat and ripped it out.
01:10:03.860I mean, we need to have a place where conservatives can speak and be...
01:10:09.920And not be in fear of everything they say, getting them thrown off their careers.
01:10:14.820The point is here, and I know other conservative outlets, some at least, incentivize you to give your honest opinion.
01:10:23.540Like, I think the only thing that we would ever be upset about here is if someone was trying to hide what their honest opinion was for some...
01:10:42.560And there's other places like Daily Wire, like Fox Nation, like many others.
01:10:47.660Yeah, and I would urge you, I would urge you to support, if you are a member of the Blaze, or if you think, it's not going to do anything, I don't want to listen to this clown or see another episode of Stu, you know, you don't find value in what we do or, you know, Mark Levin or anything, then go find somebody that does.
01:11:09.260If you are a member of the Blaze and you can't afford it, go find somebody else that you can support.
01:11:14.860This is not a zero-sum game, at least on our side.
01:11:20.060We want to make sure that everybody is doing well in the conservative.
01:11:23.260And I know most of the other conservative platforms feel exactly the same way.
01:13:03.920I don't know if I agree with everything they believe in.
01:13:06.940I don't honestly know what they believe in.
01:13:09.040But I don't like the fact that they're engaging in violence, because then you can't tell the difference between the good side and the bad side.
01:13:19.400And I just want to go over these for a second.
01:13:23.320And I urge you, please download these and teach these to your children and do them every day.
01:19:12.360I want to talk to you for just about a minute of about AMAC.
01:19:17.940That's the Association of Mature American Citizens.
01:19:21.080This group is now over two million members strong and it's growing every day.
01:19:25.740It's it's not just the type of group that you want to join, you know, when you're 50 year old or to get the discounts and everything else.
01:19:34.460This one is for people that are still actively engaged in life.
01:19:40.120You're going to get all those discounts and everything else.
01:19:42.380But AMAC members have played a significant role in stopping the past passage of House Resolution 1, the Pelosi federal takeover of all the election legislation.
01:19:53.240And they're going to be asked to do the same to stop Senate passage of House Resolution 4, another terrible bill trying to establish federal control of all elections.
01:20:04.400We we we have to have a powerful collective voice.
01:20:08.720And AMAC is one of those organizations that is what that that packs a wallop when they speak because we're all in it together.
01:20:18.620AMAC join for the advocacy and join for the benefits and the information.
01:20:24.420But join because America needs you to stand together.
01:21:24.440In the cover of darkness, a few veteran U.S.
01:21:28.760Special Forces worked to rescue Afghans under the cover of darkness.
01:21:35.480It was called Operation Pineapple or Task Force Pineapple.
01:21:42.040The leader was retired Green Beret commander, Lieutenant Colonel Scott Mann.
01:21:49.340He is we're so fortunate to have him on to tell us exactly what happened and if he can, what's still happening over in Afghanistan with his website, Operation Recovery dot org.
01:22:05.400You can donate to help him rescue more operation recovery dot org slash donate.
01:22:10.900We're going to talk to him and Nikki Haley all this hour.
01:22:15.140Sometimes it's really hard to know what to do with all the load of nonsense that is out there and especially the stuff our kids are being fed in school.
01:22:27.720I don't know if you've seen this, but Daily Wire just did a great expose of all of the teachers that have stated on the record.
01:22:54.360Well, the best thing you can do is be your your your kids or your grandchildren's best teacher.
01:23:03.600And if you can start young by reading stories to these kids that tell the truth and explain things in a way that kids can relate to the Tuttle Twins books are those books.
01:23:16.240And they'll explain why the free republic works, why a free market works.
01:23:23.080All of the things that are essential to our liberty will be found in the Tuttle Twins books.
01:23:29.440And you can get them now for thirty five percent off at Tuttle Twins Beck dot com.
01:23:34.580You've got to teach your children very carefully because they are being taught all kinds of evil stuff.
01:24:41.740And we another ABC reporter, James Meek, and a congressional staffer.
01:24:46.300We formed our little and we did it all remote.
01:24:48.500I know some of the reporting is that we went into country.
01:24:50.580We actually used our trust, our relationships, which is kind of the Green Beret way, working by with and through indigenous people.
01:24:57.920And then we just became his eyes in his ears and we helped him navigate and move through the city, ultimately got him through the wire and onto an airplane with his family.
01:25:06.400And we did that with about 700 families or 700 Afghans in three days.
01:25:18.400You know, our combat veterans, what what I was so proud of for these retired Navy SEALs, these Green Berets Marines is that when everybody else got angry, they got to work.
01:25:28.460You know, they just said, you know what, we're not going to leave anybody behind.
01:25:31.820We're going to honor the promise to the to the families and the Afghans who stood up for us.
01:25:46.220The one guy that led the Underground Railroad through a sewage canal that coordinated it is is is an elementary school teacher inspired by Harriet Tubman, who retired from SF.
01:25:55.780I mean, it's just amazing how our veterans showed us what leadership looked like.
01:26:01.300So are you I'm not going to even ask you that.
01:26:15.380There's still a lot of work to be done.
01:26:18.840And, you know, we don't want to work at cross purposes with it, with the Biden administration or any administration.
01:26:24.160We intend to honor a promise and fill the gap that the government's not filling.
01:26:29.060And for you, what we're doing right now is we are pivoting into, you know, the airfield was what we think of as rescue.
01:26:36.060We are now a citizen liaison network is moving to recovery.
01:26:40.220We have already been working to move Afghans in this new situation.
01:26:44.960And we have we've moved them to safety and we've moved them to freedom, whether that's a federal judge, prosecutor or a group of Christian children.
01:27:30.600I appreciate that, Glenn, and saying here, I think any of the you know, this is a time for I believe that I'm so encouraged that Americans, regardless of our political affiliation, take those negative feelings and put them into resolve.
01:27:42.820It's the first time that I've seen Americans getting behind our mists.
01:27:47.600And, you know, it's you know, our veterans, man, they have been through some crap and they're showing us how we come together and how we lead with resolve.
01:27:55.340And so we're right there at your shoulder.
01:29:37.960I say that to the Trump administration.
01:29:39.760I say that to the, you know, to the to the Biden administration.
01:29:42.900If you want Green Berets and operators like us to do our job, you have to honor promises you make on the back end and the front end.
01:29:50.360Can you tell me what you feel about or how do we repair our relationships, for instance, with England?
01:30:01.100You know, I know that things between commanders of the 82nd and the SAS, I know it got ugly at the airport.
01:30:11.840And I and I also know what people in England in power have told me.
01:30:17.980They don't want to work with us anymore because we abandoned them.
01:30:21.340How how difficult is it going to be to repair this?
01:30:25.380Well, it's going to take deliberate restoration, you know, whether it's a marriage, whether it's, you know, a friendship or whether it's, you know, an ally.
01:30:35.420If you damage a relationship, it's up to you to atone and restore that relationship.
01:30:41.720I teach that, you know, as part of the, you know, when I teach at the Green Berets to Green Berets is, you know, restoration of relationships is one of the hardest things you ever do.
01:30:49.720Restoring trust. That's going to have to happen.
01:30:51.980But I will tell you this that I'm encouraged by is that when we I did an interview with the BBC about Operation Pineapple when it was underway.
01:30:59.700And I can't tell you how many Afghans were pulled out of the sewage canals because they were holding pineapples on their cell phones to those British troops, man.
01:31:08.760And, you know, they're warriors just like us.
01:31:11.420They they know what authorities we had and we didn't have.
01:33:18.260And so what I would ask our politicians and our bureaucrats to do, you know, is if you're going to manage the perimeter security of a half-mile-wide airfield and then send, like, a three-star general in the process, let them do their job.
01:33:34.120Let them give them the authority to do a non-tombatant evacuation operation.
01:33:42.520And if you start applying politics to the world of soldiering and the world of fighting, you put your young Marines and your young paratroopers into these moral injuries, and they never get over it.
01:33:54.780And we're losing 22 a day, not solely to that, but it's a big part of it.
01:34:00.140And politicians and bureaucrats bear that responsibility.
01:34:03.600And to our citizenry, you know, if we're not going to put a commanders-in-chief in place that really get that, we need to think about that when we pull the levers.
01:34:21.580Let me – I don't want you to get into politics, and I don't want you to – I don't want to cause you any problems, so feel free not to answer this.
01:34:28.800But I think there must be people held accountable for this.
01:34:35.940This was – and it wasn't necessarily a military thing.
01:34:40.240I think it really falls to the State Department and the White House.
01:34:43.580But there also were some top people at the very, very top that made mistakes in the Pentagon.
01:34:50.800Should people be held responsible for this?
01:34:54.740Yeah, I'm always in favor of accountability.
01:34:58.300You know, one of the things that I wrote in my book Game Changers years ago about the Afghan war was that, you know, for the first 10 years of my life, or in Afghanistan, you know, I was in a trance of just retribution because my ranger buddy Cliff was killed in the Pentagon.
01:35:12.000And I kind of abandoned the way that I should have been doing things as a Green Beret.
01:35:16.340I was focused on just walking the enemy down instead of working with locals.
01:35:22.840I just – I wish that our politicians, our generals, our flag officers would – you know, like that lieutenant colonel that resigned in protest.
01:35:34.660I would just like to see more of that on the military side.
01:35:38.180Like, throw your rank on the table and say, no, like, if you do that, you can have my rank.
01:35:43.300I mean, I haven't seen that lately at a senior level, and I'd love to see it.
01:35:46.540I'd love to see, you know, that happen.
01:35:48.840But then, yeah, I do think there should be accountability on this.
01:35:51.360But, you know, for me right now and the combat veterans that are in it, we're focused on playing our position in support of the government as a citizen liaison network, whatever that looks like.
01:36:01.660But what we're not going to do is break the promise.
01:36:03.700That's not going to happen, and we've all committed to that, and we're volunteers, and we're, you know, we're doing this because it's right.
01:36:11.260And so I hope there is accountability.
01:36:14.040But in the meantime, there's a lot of work to be done.
01:36:16.200Scott, I so appreciate you, and I'm going to put you on hold, and one of my producers will give you my private email and text, because I mean what I say.
01:36:31.320Anything you need, day or night, you contact, and we will be there for you.
01:36:36.040I appreciate that, sir, and the same goes with me.
01:36:59.440Time for a serious look into your investment in gold and silver has begun.
01:37:03.500I came on this program just about every single day to tell you how important it was to call Goldline for your future.
01:37:12.360Please believe me, it is becoming more and more important every day.
01:37:19.060The – I could go on and on and on about this.
01:37:22.660There are – between the Great Reset, which is happening, the Fed moving to a digital currency, which is happening, there are going to be – there's going to come a time when if you don't have anything but U.S. currency or stocks that are traded in U.S. currency,
01:37:45.800you won't be able to do the things that you feel are right for you, please call Goldline.
01:37:54.600This week, with the purchase of a tube of $5 gold Indian coins, you'll receive the famed 2-ounce silver maple flex bar at no cost and Goldline's new branded 1-ounce silver bar at no cost as well.
01:38:07.740At this point, you shouldn't need the encouraging to stock up on gold and silver, but please find out if it's right for you.
01:38:13.600They also have a way for you to just, you know, put away X number of dollars every single month so you can buy it.
01:38:49.500It's incredible how many people are trying to do this.
01:38:53.600Military members, you know, regular people, everybody calling everyone they can, organizations.
01:39:01.000I'm going to start highlighting all the money.
01:39:03.080I'm going to start highlighting those organizations because I honestly feel horrible that we're getting so much credit and they're getting none or very little.
01:39:23.740First of all, it was you that donated all of that money.
01:39:26.640Uh, and we are just, we're just trying to help these other organizations as well and just get people out of there.
01:39:34.680Everybody's working together and I'm going to start highlighting some of the others because the, you know, we have, we have a microphone and I don't want to use it to self-inggrandize us.
01:39:44.900I want to make sure that all of the people who are also doing work, they get access to this platform because people need to know who they are.
01:39:52.920I mean, did you know about operation recovery.org?
01:39:59.500That is absolutely a group I would donate to, will donate to, and you should donate to.
01:40:05.740And you see from so many of the military members in particular, this passion to want to get particularly Afghan citizens who helped them specifically over long periods, in some cases, multiple years to get them out.
01:40:22.680The only person who I have not seen that passion from is Joe Biden, who actually landed in a snowstorm and needed an interpreter to help him get out.
01:40:31.560And now that person is left in Afghanistan after we leave and is begging the president, please don't leave me behind.
01:41:37.060Can you name a single country or a single giant corporation that would stand behind a civil war in the United States that was fighting the United States?
01:44:51.820And we'll start to see heavy recruitment.
01:44:54.140We'll start to see lone wolf scenarios.
01:44:56.240And the part that I really don't get is Biden and company need to remember it was the Taliban that harbored those that that did the harm to us on 9-11.
01:45:17.700Like all of this is not a group that needs to be trusted.
01:45:21.020It's why that group never needed to be trusted to secure the airport.
01:45:24.200And the reason we lost 13 of our finest.
01:45:27.140I mean, they've got to stop giving credibility to the Taliban.
01:45:30.200And what we're trying to do is tell everyone to go to StandForAmerica.com and sign the petition that we're sending to all of Congress not to recognize the Taliban.
01:45:40.560Because if you recognize the Taliban as the head of Afghanistan, you're basically saying send them money.
01:45:47.020We know what they'll do with the money.
01:45:48.860We've seen what they've done with money before.
01:46:03.160And why Blinken and those are continuing to talk to the Taliban just is beyond me.
01:46:08.600I don't know if you know or have a better guess on how many Americans are still left there and how many people are trapped that are trying to get out.
01:46:18.560I can tell you that number is in the thousands.
01:46:22.560If you look at all of them, maybe even in the tens of thousands.
01:46:26.060But our State Department is blocking our every move, our every move.
01:46:34.540You know, I think you can see a lot in the fact that I was listening to Blinken's speech the other day.
01:46:41.240And, you know, we have 200, maybe even 100.
01:47:56.940I mean, that we've been put in and a terrible situation for our military who knows in their blood that they're never supposed to leave an American behind.
01:48:06.560Thank God so many Americans are stepping to the plate and and just being honorable.
01:48:10.700I mean, it's remarkable what's happening outside of Washington.
01:48:15.600Let me ask you, I just I just had a Green Beret commander on with me and I said, you know,
01:48:20.180what what is it going to be like to be a Green Beret in a foreign country when you're trying to get people to help you?
01:48:27.980And how are our foreign relations going to be with the military?
01:48:32.480I'd like to ask you kind of the same question.
01:48:36.060What what authority do we have anywhere in the world or in the U.N.
01:48:43.660Well, first of all, I think that, you know, at the end of Biden's speech was pretty much the beginning of his lame duck presidency,
01:48:52.980because he has lost all the trust and confidence of our military men and women and their families.
01:48:58.680He's lost the trust and confidence of our allies from Taiwan to Ukraine to Israel to India.
01:49:05.580You name it. He's lost the trust and confidence of the American people.
01:49:09.680And the way countries are looking at him is, you know, never was there a time that I thought NATO would be having conversations without the U.S.
01:49:16.980And that is happening now. You've got the Europeans where, you know, the British and the French went out of their way to get their citizens out.
01:49:24.580And the American government basically told them, don't come to the airport.
01:49:28.360I mean, everyone is looking at America now, realizing they're weaker.
01:49:33.940Russia and China are emboldened. China is now trying to make moves on Bagram Air Force Base.
01:49:39.260They have recognized the Taliban. They're trying to get the minerals.
01:49:42.320Russia now realizes Ukraine is more susceptible.
01:49:47.020Biden already gave Nord Stream 2 pipeline to allow them to do that.
01:49:51.080And you're going to start to see more hackings because Russia knows they're not going to do anything about it.
01:49:55.920Iran is going to continue to start more nuclear production because they're no longer worried about the threat of Iran.
01:50:02.380And you're seeing Kim in North Korea starting his production back because Biden in this one scenario showed that he's a very weak president
01:50:11.300and that the U.S. is not going to do anything about it.
01:50:14.020And so it's put us in a terrible situation.
01:50:17.420If I were in Taiwan today, I would be freaking out because I would think that, you know,
01:50:26.060China is going to move on Taiwan probably in the next two years.
01:56:56.760Well, perhaps because we had such confidence in the Afghan military and then perhaps that then translated into such great confidence in the Taliban, which is apparently new, improved, reformed and a lot like Boy Scouts of America.
01:57:16.480This really does defy reason and logic.
01:57:19.680The more questions that get asked, the more questions I have because they're not answering them.
01:57:45.920Yeah, I tend to think that it's the latter.
01:57:49.940So then, Mike, we heard all the time from people, you know, we've got to evoke the 25th Amendment.
01:57:58.480If that is even a possibility, why aren't leaders, real leaders that care about the country saying, look, I have nothing against the president, but this just shows such erratic behavior.
01:58:11.960We have to we have to we have to we have to we have to we have to at least talk about this.
01:58:17.440Well, a number are and as I've been asked about it, what I've said is I've got to get answers to a number of questions in order to figure out what this is.
01:58:26.080If if if in fact it turns out to be the case that this president is not in possession of his faculties, then obviously that would be the next step.
01:58:37.640If it's something else, then there might be a different remedy that we would look at.
01:58:43.380Is this is is those is this impeachable?
01:58:46.400Because I think it is leaving just leaving all that stuff is impeachable.
01:58:51.860Yeah. So so if it's if it's incompetence, then we're, you know, looking at the 25th Amendment.
01:58:58.380If it's if if if you're looking at a deliberate decision to give aid and comfort to our enemies, a deliberate decision to do something that would make us less safe, intending it to be so, then then, yeah, of course, that could be impeachable.
01:59:18.180So the tougher question is whether under either scenario, you could muster the critical base of support, you would have to have it is.
01:59:28.800Remember, under the 25th Amendment, you've got out the vice president acting in concert with the majority of the cabinet.
01:59:45.120And but either way, it's going to be tough because if they're going to impeach, then they would have to have Democrats in the House and in the Senate to make that happen.
01:59:59.800I'm not seeing any signs of of the Democratic Party showing that level of vulnerability.
02:00:06.680Are they are they? Is there any are there Democrats that are looking at this going?
02:00:15.600And and we're going to find out who they are in the coming weeks.
02:00:19.140OK, Mike Lee, senator from the great state of Utah.
02:00:24.700Thank you so much for all of your hard work and being so loyal to the Constitution.
02:00:30.240After 10 years in the Senate, I don't know of many senators that have made it as long as you have and still are the same guy that you were the day you walked in.
