>> greg: are you skeptical of the new improved taliban? have you talked to them? >> i actually have. >> greg: are we exaggerating -- >> no, they are really brutal, but i did have taliban guys tell me, eating rice out of the same ball, but for some reason -- they have told me, if they knew we were as serious as we were at the beginning with the bombing and the fighting, they would have given us al qaeda. maybe not, because they are two different people. al qaeda is foreign fighters in afghanistan, anyway, and i don't see taliban interested in attacking us. they want their families and they want their mountains beard i want to be optimistic -- hopefully, i'm probably wrong, but hopefully they just want to keep their country, not let the press income and just murder people. >> greg: how can china -- >> because china will crush you. >> greg: going to get all of the minerals -- batteries form i.e.-bike.
