So i can understand in our viewers going to spend why does the United States remain in afghanistan after the president of the United States running on a campaign a campaign trying to get out of afghanistan were almost 4 years later were still there so why are we still there if you will obama was going to get out of afghanistan as well remember it was a dumb war. Well look the answer short answer is that they cant theyre not in control. No president s have to do what we call the National Security state or deep state requires and if you look at a map youll see that afghanistan is very strategically located by close to china quite close to kashmir to say where theres all kinds of gas and oil prices so its a matter for the military and the people who she is vanished and making sure that we can police the world those people that are in charge its very. Very clear now that even of president morsi get out of a place like afghanistan he can the height of hypocrisy of course if he was the a story that the New York Times highlighted for the last week that russias were hoping i would see food for Afghan People killing u. S. Soldiers. There was no evidence for that and then the New York Times and you know giving hypocrisy a bad name came out with a major editorial say dont let this. Withdraw from afghanistan after they did everything they could to fit in as the mouth of the state. And then what does this tell us is that trump is too weak or the deep state is too strong i mean what is the you know what is the calculation here because if the president of the United States can. Command the military to come up with plans and withdrawal and then hes not in control of islam holocene thats your example. In pharaohs this president has avoided. New wars for United States yet iran or syria or in other places and so i think that hes had an effect of Foreign Policy i think its quite fair to say that the American Public is weary of war and for new interventions into Foreign Countries afghanistan has been a long and painful fight its been a cost of treasure and of blood for the americans and i think at this present recognize that but i agree that its an entanglement thats not easily track. From but if you look at the refusal to follow the. Guidelines or the advice of john bolton for example who clearly want to minute ventured into iraq and this president said were not doing that im not going to go bomb and kill 200 arabian citizens for a drone i think thats pretty strong leadership from the president on bad front and lets be honest if you go back to Richard Nixon the democrats in the New York Times as i just heard mentioned here have said since Richard Nixon nixons going to take america in the world who are history reagan will take us into world war 3 trump will take us into what was there this hysteria never ends its always the same the democrats are never tell us the world war 3 and yet its often the democrats who lead us into war whether its vietnam or other wars weve been in other entanglements so i think the president shown from a strong leadership and stuck to his promises of not entering america in a new foreign wars i think thats a strong positive i mean seed money and why doesnt he just start firing people youre not going to get what i want youre fired next in line you doing a lot of your ire to ok now im very serious about this because the American People do in the last 3 president ial elections voted on an antiwar plank ok and republican or democrat didnt come through so ray i mean what does that tell us is it is that this is a separate power on to its own because it took for me its once huge grift i mean human you mentioned geopolitical situation and i can buy into that ok and for me its a great ok its billions of dollars and everyone gets paid and nothing is results and we still you lose holders and and we actually kind of need the money these days right now we sure do need the money these days you know its what president eisenhower called the military Industrial Complex what is he evolved into the senate stays more than a half century ago is what i call the mickey im at now ok the military industrial congressional intelligence media macadamia think tank complex make a mad. Remember it remind it rhymes with mickey mouse ok now its big and it radiates one element its not there its the voter that i guess the voter isnt part of it right here yeah the voter isnt part of this and when i said media like all caps the media is diligent for a less thats why americans believe all this stuff they believe people like. The russian expert named James Clapper head of the national tells us you know what you say said the russians are almost should medically driven coopts to just see. Whatever you know its said its in their genes and this is so historical experience will you know this is the head of National Intelligence obama put him there let him stay 3 and a half years after he perjured himself before the Senate Intelligence committee so he must know you know i dont know if you know Andrew Higgins yeah. Well hes got a thing and in a New York Times today i have to call attention to it because it kind of sums things up hes talking about i they can knock down the statues but everything and rush your emails exactly where it was on the stump close for chrissake you know where it is not about a grifter talk about a grifter your absolute jewel is a prize winning grif there let folks speak careful for those statues are in russia fault d the ideas they embody curse shows and the whole go as if that has anything to do with whats going on in afghanistan and youre right the taliban story was just was just ridiculous on its face it seems to me steve that the taliban have been killing americans for the last 18 years i dont think they need a whole lot of hell or a bit incentives to see where the taliban has been killing americans for 18 years and the war has been going on like i say its been a long. Exercise in futility in many ways but i want to go back to something the race. Said there and that is about the obama Foreign Policy and quite simply lets talk about that obamas Foreign Policy of weakness United States and an apology tour on the around the world really apologizing for american strength and when youre weak the wolves come so said senator john kerry louisiana just this week and so when you talk about where were going on Foreign Policy in the options ally had come november 3rd i would suggest that its you look at what some of her chin to be said about joe biden who sort of joe biden wins the presidency in november his Foreign Policy could lead us to a place for war is inevitable in fact he said you could build a bomb shelter. Yesterday of joe bidens election and so i go back to afghanistan and i go back to the industrial come military Industrial Complex or a mansion. If you allow weakness the walls will come and maybe never meet our station hold on many part of the conversation is that of american leaders afghanistan in a haphazard way the middle pair to be witness much like what we saw with the obama years when american sailors were on their knees with their hands full behind their heads with the rain and warships directing us maybe sailors how to conduct themselves so this is a concern for the American Public i mean why would those sailors there in the 1st place ok thats a different topic for him but steve i would counter by saying the United States to show me weakness in indecision because it it doesnt have a command in control of the military not only the president the United States me it shows weakness and the inability to make a decision because not many king notices it is the worst decision because thats been the case for the last 18 years it should have been a Police Operation you know tied it and get out was no reason to occupy the country whatsoever but ray and me go back to what you were saying about the media what do they get out of it i mean whats whats their dig in all of this part of this huge grants go ahead well theyre part of the mickey mater course and theres a list friend now the. Military Industrial Complex can exist without an enemy ok you have to have a credible enemy as are you have to make out russia to change russia to be the same as those statues back there or stalin stayed in jersey and ski and those folks from the from the from the k. G. B. So thats part of it. They worrisome thing as a nobody seems to realize that russia still has Nuclear Weapons a few tweak their noses a russian bear often enough there are going to be some sort of minor hostilities could easily accelerate and and become really dangerous and are the American People prepared for that a quest to prepare for that because the russians are the same aggression of people as they always had been there almost an ethically. Riven to be an aggressive and a sister so as as this article this morning you know in the New York Times indicates where they enter a room which is less aimed at it and say oh yeah hagans i mean hes one of the flax that makes a lot of money he has a surprise great about russia being the same as it was a century interesting thing steve is that you know going in and because i watch this all of the time and i was very keen on untransformed policy when he was a candidate very keen i made a lot of programmes about it because i thought i know a whole titian have the courage to stand up and say the obvious year but when it when it comes to the media when it comes to russia when it comes to iran and china they cant really matter theres no downside ever of being wrong is there ever were it doesnt you know right much taller Americans Trust me i dont believe that to be true and the other thing is it is dest americans prepared to take on russia i dont think so i dont think that americans are prepared to take on much of anything with a lot of smart phones a lot of very dumb people sadly these people get their information from tech talk which is i mean monitored by china facebook and of course. Youve got jeff bezos supplying the world with you know trinkets and trash from all over the world 40 percent of the internet and writing for the Washington Post and he hates drop other media in america these days is garbage so used to be a time when democrats liberals actually thought that challenging the establishment and the group think was the right thing to do now theyre all in one herd together and if you have chelsea orthodoxy of the group which is perpetuated by and b c c. B. S. A. B. C. The Washington Post the New York Times all of them into one you know gobbledygook of nonsense i feel like we are all over well with the garbage man its hard to figure out whats accurate and whats not and so i dont think americas ready to take on russia or not you know i think you know maybe are fighting in a word you know what congress you congress or that they want they will not Fund Additional nucular testing and its not be in that thats a good idea but the reason why they did it was to be against trying to lessen everything is twisted in terms where theres a criticism where everything is really confused and i think thats really pathetic because one day donald trump is not going to be president maybe in january or maybe 4 years from january or imagine how it were set up side down as a world when the democrats criticize the president for not going to war with iran for not going to war in syria and he gets criticized for that america doesnt want to do it well republicans dont want to go to war democrats want to dont want to go to war and this president has kept to that promise and so far all right gentlemen i have to jump in here we have to go to a heart break and after that heart break well continue our discussion on the military Industrial Complex and a bilateral death grip on Foreign Policy stay. Join me every thursday on the alex simon chill and ill be speaking to guests of the world of Politics School business im showbusiness ill see you then. 54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to air force base in alaska where is that to say come on ill show you whats the reason for any type of enhanced u. S. Military presence in this area russia. What is it suddenly about the South China Sea that makes it so that it 11000000000 barrels of oil. Take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have Nuclear Weapons capabilities there is reason for concern so thats why were going to drill down on this story for you today right here on the news with rick sanchez where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly its time to do news again. Welcome back to crossfire these are considered. Truly mind youre discussing the bipartisan debt. Ok lets go back to a right before the break you gave me your index finger which means you want to say somebody. Is going to say. You know its so cool pat. That the trump is not his own man now when he said that he thought the more decent relationship was russia would be a good thing well i agree with that i think most people who have not been brainwashed would agree with that was he allowed to do that you know russia gate russia gate russia gate and now heres a heres a the epitome of whats happened. We know that russia gate which was started on the idea that the russians hackish the d. N. C. Could get those very damaging even mails on hillary authentic ones but damaging and gave them to weight the only way you know that thats false from the beginning we know that the head of crown strike now many people are good maybe maybe she doesnt know this because he just raised the New York Times but but if youre if you know what came out of this testimony of shawn henry head of crowd strike that testimony was on the 5th of december 2017 and what he said was we have no concrete evidence that anything was actual traded from the d. N. C. That means hacked ok so not only didnt russia hacked but nobody hacked as far as crowd strike you know its ok now what am i saying im saying that that was reveals many that was revealed on the 7th of may this year so its today the 8th of well thats the beginning the 3rd month and the New York Times hasnt mentioned. That a kernel that started russia gate namely russian hacking of the d. N. C. Has been completely debunked by the guy who knows the guy who is in charge of the forensics the guy that muller said or told me said hey you do the forensics so we have to be i dont want to do it so what im saying is that the Mainstream Media is not only derelict its really what its meltzer use and says well as misfeasance and. These people have paid big bucks so he information out of the public and did you know that for example steve that crowd strikes head shawn henry had testified that there was no russian hacker that the answer you were you know is going up and what did you learn it but i guess perpetuated the b. Of these narratives and the comment that you made i dont disagree with you in many ways in that that is trump is not his own man and in some ways i see where that would be true but look at all the different agents be James Clapper you mentioned earlier or bigger stronger or or page or any of these people that are working actively against this president and for you took office the slow moving of appointments to put in his own people into his issues of power and importance and thats like a plane i started my life and im again i mean how can he be his own man when he has an entire layer of government agents actively working against him and his policies because they dont like him or whatever they profess to their reasoning and its. Then you know you dont have it in all fairness trump appointed bolton to be National Security advisor thats now listen you know unforced errors yes absolutely i would agree with that that is an unforced error because he was led to believe by those around him and some of those in this room when you look at some of the folks maddest or some of the others who were there they were also people that would like to have seen an intervention into iran theres no question the general mad dog mattis would have liked to go on and bomb iran right along with john bolton they said right there in the situation room and have a cigar enjoy themselves and thats unfortunate. They dont have to bomb iran agree it was it on the right twice each with the best 10 days advantage severely to the time its Nuclear Facility its going to say take years if if they can get it back in operation so a low our military doesnt want to get involved with iran for very good reason straight on how long of this nobody. Lets let the let the israelis do it now trump is happy to let the israelis do it what im saying here is trump is the president after all ok and we can say well if he is the president should act like the president and the best thing to get do was what senator grassley just asked them to do yesterday led john bryant the u. S. Attorney in connecticut publish the stuff that he already has on the miscreants so the top of our intelligence and National Strategic partner with enemies are going to blow me im talking about brennan im talking about clapper im talking about alert religion for gods sake the good czar out there because they all thought hillary was going to win and they didnt even take rudimentary steps like im going to i gave it a good im going on steve here a good idea it was to have all these people fitted for orange jumpsuits thats the 1st thing we need to do here and the guys i want to switch i want to switch the conversation a little bit steve i mean what do you make of this 43 alumni of from the bush era there are turncoats and go oh wow im going to be working actively for. Joe biden and this is the forums all of the blah blah blah. I mean its really amazing to me this is is in of fronts to the democratic process is that you know it no matter what this is going to be bipartisan were going to go back to business as usual which was really quite tragic under democrat or a republican ok im not baking soda im not i can we can go after each side for specific reasons but basically business as usual again for the 3rd time ill say 3 president ial election cycles people rejected that ok but there were no matter because they know best theyre the adults in the room the adults in the room and i read it a trajectory of tragedy for american Foreign Policy for it we see 40 years go ahead sir. The organization are talking about you know bill kristol and company. To make it easy you know this is nothing more than the never trump right lets be honest and you can look ill use joe biden as an example but there are so many to be made of people who have gone into Public Service if you will and made themselves exceptionally wealthy or their families and enrich themselves and others i mean lets be honest about the industrial military Industrial Complex and enriches people and the status quo in riches people you people dont give a damn about the american constitution they want to know how much money theyre going to have at the end of the year the end of 10 years how their kids and grandkids are going to profit from all of these things theyre doing thats why many of these people remain entrenched thats the probably face often times and rate you missed susan rice one of those people hes an orange jumpsuit to be suited for because she could be your Vice President ial running mate would joe biden think about this regarding their honestly these are the kind of people they want to go back to the status quo the one thing about trump that i thank you is universally accepted he is a disrupter he has disrupted the status quo because he has a list of other people maybe hes a narcissist maybe he isnt but i dont care about all that but what he has done is disrupted. The even back and forth republicans are here will go and say there was a kerry get along and they actually put you know make money and Mitch Mcconnell make money and everybody does just fine as long as were here and only one of the things i found really interesting is when. Trunk was addressed in the state of the union and of course the democrats would never allow for anything he had to say ok here cancer they would ok but when when when did they all stand up and share in unison when they had whats his name why go from. Venezuela ok and everybody stood up and clapped this joker to you know nobody knows who he is and then his nail ok and have a listen to sad. Thats the bipartisan non sense im talking about i had. To pick up on your story there was i dont like it though but there was also the coke remember when the pope came here and what he said before the joint session of congress he said im a problem is the blood soaked on schraders. Senators and representatives. And. If the. Blockade was here and one from rehearing on it was so it was you know give me hypocrisy a bad name thats the name of the game it will make a lot of money theyve just said. Tension with russia tension with china now and the American People that how they feel about war which is pretty much against war there or how much they end it because of the way the thing is stacked against them thats the real problem or joe biden that can be any better what we need is a 3rd candidate theres an i think its right for that. I just hope that the system allows a 3rd candidate to arise should be you know if i mention with this why dont. My character and thats whats wrong with Foreign Policy because speed is absolutely right nines the word grim everybodys getting paid i mean look at the level of corruption thats going on in afghanistan that would meet me in corruption in ukraine it wouldnt it would make me blush i mean and you know what they know and they know like i mean does it mean in kerosene or tens of millions of dollars were who just disappears oh its money its money 100. 00 someplace and you know i can buy Something Like that and they know it and they know it but it continues on and on and on and see. Trump has a few months left before the november Election Night he was very forceful during the campaign about and these wars and i felt embarrassed going to be honest with you when he said it again to west point when hes already said. What does he need to do is it is there a way he can make good on his promise to end our involvement decent afghanistan ok because i think one point weve made here because he cant he cant run on ending wars going to be doesnt do one he cant run go ahead well you know and with everything going on with coded and all the games being played with that in the numbers there theres a lot of distraction you might have noticed in the press otherwise today but i think some good points were made here today and that is you cant run a Foreign Policy if you dont have the bogeyman out there you have to have an enemy same is true of domestic policy i mean lets be honest racial divisions in america they dont want to solve those who want to perpetuate those but a magnifying glass them so they can you know ratchet on riots on the streets and claim that theres all this division in america when really if you walk around the streets of america and talk to people like i do and others youll find theres a lot more people that have a lot in common and we dont have all this division that they say that we do if you watch n. B. C. News or read the Washington Post and so the difficulty for trump is this if you start still around afghanistan the battle cry from the left is going to be well he doesnt care about old people until that night even people are dying in texas and florida so that hes going to be villainize for that because the left has to have trump as the villain because they really dont want trump to run against biden they want trump to run against trump thats what they want because the only person can be down from november 3rd is donald trump they know that i dont know if joe biden can survive 90 minutes on the stage during a debate not once twice but 3 times thats going to be difficult i mean look at bidens performances in previous debates hes got a challenger so as far as getting out of foreign wars i dont think theres enough time on the clock here now could he propose a wind down or a or starting to disengage in some way yes that would be. One time thing after the election last 20 seconds go to you ray go ahead. Well i think i need to make clear that its the degree trump is vilified if you deserve every every inch of credits. Hes not the president is it 6 or are awful but i swore a somos or protect and defend the constitution United States against all enemies foreign and domestic there was a soft coup to prevent him from becoming president.
