Did the Afghanistan Withdrawal Sink Biden’s Presidency

Look, if you look at the, if you look at the arc of the Biden presidency, he was in really good shape until August of 2021 when Afghanistan happened.

He went under 40, she went under 40, and they really lived there until the end of the pres- Why? He's still there. Why?

Because, I'll tell you why. Because- Because, because he, because he ran and told us he was, that the adults were back in charge, and that was the opposite of that.

Yeah, they were because Donald Trump is a child.

And you know, and, and you know what else? Yeah. And you know what else?

He's a tr- right. The fact that they wouldn't give these, uh, 13 service members' families the time of day- Bullshit, dude ... the time of day. They would not. I'm sorry.

They would not. I'm sorry. It was wrong. But Donald Trump hates veterans.

He called them suckers and losers. He did. He absolutely despise- Look- He has his whole life, he has his entire life.

I, I know you're, I know you're super emotional. I, I just- Of course, I am ... the, the, the, the- I'm terrified ... I, I'm telling you the political reality is that when they made that decision- It doesn't matter ... when they- But you don't admit- When they made that decision- ... that Donald Trump hates veterans.

Let me, let, let me just- You don't, you don't admit it ... let me just- You deny a man, Chief John Kelly, a Marine, you deny... You say he lied. I know. You're still, you're still campaigning.

You say he lied. It's all a brother. You're still campaigning.

Let me let Zach finish his thought. It's not over. It, it, it'll never be over.

Then I wanna hear what Colby has to say. It'll never be over. The, the- You wish ... the, the political reality is when they made that decision and everyone realized, "Oh my gosh, these aren't the competent adults that we were promised"- Oh, yeah. Donald Trump does ... and then- Right ... and then when you pile on top of it

the decisions that made inflation worse, it was a compounding interest of political crap over time- No ... that they could never get out of, and that's how she lost the room.

Colby, go ahead. There was a bipartisan consensus to get out of Afghanistan.

That wasn't the point. Uh, yeah. It was the way it was done.

It was Trump's decision to get out of Afghanistan. No, no. Hold on. Yeah.

It was, it was the implementation. I mean, I, I think that's worth saying.

It was the fact that they took out our soldiers, uh, first instead of last, which is, you would think would be common sense. And again, it's like you said- ... we thought the adults were in the room.

That's why people voted for Biden. Yes. A return to normalcy, a return to competence.

He's a lifelong public servant. We thought, "We're gonna get normal. We're gonna get competent."

We did. And that's what- We did ... that's, that's what it's about. We did. We did.

And if, and, and the veterans community, I mean- Afghanistan doesn't signal that. Afghanistan- And if, and, and the veterans community, I mean- Afghanistan doesn't signal that. Afghanistan- The, the, the wars, the wars in Afghanistan, the war in Iraq,

the Republican policies that led to those wars, the idea that, that Joe Biden made the final difficult decision, and his administration, and his military leaders.

I mean, you guys live on the tippy-top of Bullshit Mountain if you actually think that, that, that, that so many people think that the pull out of Afghanistan was the, the pivot point.

Are you kidding me? Well, I mean, I, I can read a chart, and I can read a poll.

I guess you can't, but the reality is when he made that decision- Ugh, your petty insults- When he made that deci- ... are so weak, dude. You have no idea.

Like, I don't even understand if you hear yourself talking.

Look, I mean, listen- You can, you can laugh all you want, but like- Um, I- I'm laughing ... I can't read a chart? Like, it's, it's just- Just a second ... it's so tacky.

So, so on, the reas- It's so uninteresting- Look, the reason that we- ... it's unconvincing ... we brought this up is because-
