threat from isis-k and you ve got americans who are trying to get to the airport, are there likely more missions than the pentagon obviously is going to tell us to try to get to those americans instead of asking them to come through that threat to get onto the airfield? there s a couple of things going on. first of all, to answer your question, i sure hope there are. you don t want to tell the people on the ground, including isis-k the nature of the operations, the pace of the operations, what time of day they re happening, where they re happening. those people have car bombs, they have backpack bombs, they potentially have things like rocket-propelled grenades that could cause tremendous havoc in these evacuation operations so i hope they re not telling us 90% of what they re doing. there is another closing piece of this, victor, that i think is really interesting. we are not going to get all these people out. not. it ain t happening by august 31st. we re not talking enough about th
afghanistan. i don t think the biden incumbent democrats are going to be able to run on americans are racist because they just abandoned women and children and send them back potentially centuries to be enslaved and tortured and raped and killed in afghanistan. the only thing going for them as there will not be a lot of video and pictures of it because everybody has flooded, western journalist for the most part will have fled in the short run, flood afghanistan running for their lives. in terms of the, why biden is pulling so badly on the economy is purely inflation, consumer confidence has fallen to a 10-year low, real wages, inflation-adjusted wages have fallen every month that biden has been in office and now that democrats have backed themselves into a corner, the only thing they can brag about his spending more money. it s more like $5 trillion over

anything positive for the united states, haven t done anything at all, seekers coming from afghanistan have sometimes literally saved american lives being translators, spotters, drivers but joe biden doesn t do much for them, if you can make it to the airport, good luck. jessica: so i don t see things the same way. jesse: there is nothing you can say to refute that! we are a little tight on time. jessica: the red light just starts flashing. so there are a lot of people seeking asylum at the southern border who have worked in their home countries and i am sure with americans to improve their quality of life or millions of people who are destitute, all the things are going to be happening in afghanistan under the taliban, people coming from central america and it is their legal right to seek asylum here. of course interpreters should come, people who fought alongside us but you shouldn t
