Summaries generated with gmurro/bart-large-finetuned-filtered-spotify-podcast-summ .

Josh Hawley and Lt. Col. Lloyd Austin, the top military advisor to the President, tell Congress that they didn t know that the Taliban were going to defeat the government of Afghanistan. They also admit that they don t know why the government failed to anticipate the fall of President Obama's Afghanistan government. And they admit they don't know why they didn't know it was going to fall to the Taliban. And then they tell Congress why they can't be trusted to make sense of it. They also fail to answer a question from Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-GA, about why they couldn't see it coming and why they should have known it was coming. And they also say they're not capable of assessing whether a soldier has the will to fight. And finally, they fail to assess whether or not a soldier even has the ability to fight in the fight against ISIS in Syria, which is what the committee asked them to do, and they say they have no idea if they can do so they can t even do that? This is not good enough, and it's a problem that needs to be fixed, not just in the White House, but across the board, across the country. Listen to the whole country, and the rest of the country, to see how incompetent our government is and how we need to do our part to make things right in order to keep our troops safe and secure in the face of the enemy. If you want to know what's going on in Afghanistan, listen to this video, then you need to listen to the full speed and do your part to get the full story. in this episode of "The Big Lie."

00:00:00.000 Well guys, if there's one video you gotta watch this week, it's this one.
00:00:03.000 Josh Hawley crushed Milley and Lloyd Austin, the Secretary of Defense, yesterday.
00:00:09.000 But Matt Gaetz takes it even further.
00:00:12.000 Watch this. Listen to the fact set.
00:00:15.000 Listen to the pattern.
00:00:17.000 Listen to all of the inside information that the guys that were in charge for 20 years had, and yet they couldn't see it coming.
00:00:24.000 It's really important for you to see how bureaucratic and incompetent our government is.
00:00:30.000 Watch it all right now.
00:00:33.000 You really blew that call, didn't you, General?
00:00:38.000 I believe that that was an issue of strategic stalemate and that if we had remained in Afghanistan, Well, that's an interesting answer to a question, it's just not one I asked.
00:00:51.000 You spent more time with Bob Woodward on this book than you spent analyzing the very likely prospect that the Afghanistan government was going to fall immediately to the Taliban, didn't you?
00:01:02.000 Not even close, Congressman. Oh, really?
00:01:03.000 Because you said right after Kabul fell that no one could have anticipated the immediate fall of the Ghani government.
00:01:09.000 When did you become aware that Joe Biden tried to get Ghani to lie about the conditions in Afghanistan?
00:01:15.000 He did that in July. Did you know that right away?
00:01:17.000 I'm not aware of...
00:01:19.000 Was President Biden lying?
00:01:21.000 You're not aware of the phone call that Biden had with Ghani where he said, whether it is true or not, we want you to go out there and paint a rosy picture of what's going on in Afghanistan.
00:01:29.000 You're the chief military advisor to the president.
00:01:32.000 You said that the Taliban was not going to defeat the government of Afghanistan militarily, which, by the way, they cut through him like a hot knife through butter.
00:01:39.000 And then the president tries to get Ghani to lie.
00:01:41.000 When did you become aware of that attempt?
00:01:43.000 Well, there's two things there, Congressman, if I may.
00:01:47.000 It's what I said was the situation was stalemate, and if we kept advisers with there, the government of Afghanistan and the Army would have still been there.
00:01:56.000 That's what I said. Whether that's right or wrong, I don't know.
00:01:58.000 Seems wrong now with the Taliban in control.
00:02:00.000 Well, we withdrew all the advice. I have a question for Secretary Austin.
00:02:02.000 Secretary Austin, are you capable of assessing whether another has the will to fight?
00:02:12.000 No, we're not, and that's the point that the chairman made earlier.
00:02:16.000 That's just like an incredibly disappointing thing for the Secretary of Defense to simply say, I can't assess whether someone has the will to fight.
00:02:24.000 But it is consistent with your record.
00:02:25.000 I mean, during the Obama administration, I think they gave you about $48 million to go train up some folks in Syria to go take on the Assad government.
00:02:33.000 And I think your testimony was that only four or five survived first contact with the enemy.
00:02:38.000 So what confidence should this committee have in you or What should the country have in you when you've now confessed to us, and whether it's the swing and a miss in Afghanistan that General Milley talked to the Senate about yesterday, total failure, or whether it was your failures in Syria, you don't seem capable to look at a fighting force and determine whether or not they have the will.
00:02:58.000 Is that an embarrassing...
00:02:59.000 You recall, Congressman, that the end result was the SDF that we stood up that was very, very instrumental in turning the tide of A battle up in Syria.
00:03:11.000 Oh, yeah. Turned it so much.
00:03:13.000 You've got Assad in power in Syria.
00:03:15.000 You've got the Taliban in power in Afghanistan.
00:03:17.000 I mean, where have you been?
00:03:19.000 The focus was ISIS, Congressman.
00:03:23.000 And those forces had significant effect on the ISIS network.
00:03:28.000 It just seems like you're chronically bad at this.
00:03:31.000 And you have admitted that, I guess, which is to your credit.
00:03:35.000 But, you know, when people in the military, like Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Scheller, stand up and demand accountability, when they say that you all screwed up, when they point out that General Milley's statement that, The government of Afghanistan is not going to get defeated by the Taliban.
00:03:51.000 Well, he ends up in the brig, and you all end up in front of us, and your former employer, Raytheon, ends up with a lot of money, and we have poured cash and blood and credibility into a Ghani government that was a mirage. 0.94
00:04:05.000 It fell immediately. And while the guy sitting next to you was off talking to Phil Rucker and was off doing his thing with Bob Woodward, We were buying into the big lie.
00:04:16.000 The big lie that this was ever going to be successful and that we could ever rely on the Afghanistan government for anything at all. 0.95
00:04:23.000 You know, General Mill, you kind of gave up the game earlier when you said you wanted to address elements of your personal conduct that were in question.
00:04:30.000 We're not questioning your personal conduct.
00:04:33.000 We're questioning... In your official capacity, going and undermining the chain of command, which is obviously what you did.
00:04:40.000 You've created this whole chain of communication narrative.
00:04:42.000 Did not undermine the chain of command in any manner shape or form.
00:04:44.000 Yeah, you did. You absolutely did. Did not.
00:04:46.000 Well, you know what?
00:04:49.000 You said yesterday that you weren't going to resign when senators asked you this question.
00:04:54.000 And I believe that you guys probably won't resign.
00:04:56.000 You seem to be very happy failing up over there.
00:05:01.000 But if we didn't have a president that was so addled, you all would be fired.
00:05:06.000 Because that is what you deserve.
00:05:08.000 You have let down the people who wear the uniform in my district and all around this country.
00:05:12.000 And you're far more interested in what your perception is and how people think about you in insider Washington books than you care about winning, which this group seems incapable of doing.
