The reagan institute. The d. C. Office of the Ronald Reagan president ial foundation and the Ronald Reagan institute. In 1980, the 20something son of a former congressman and Prince Georges County executive was named the chair of the youth for reagan. He is looking quite youthful today, i might add. He supported then governor reagan during the 1976 president ial primary. And now, young larry hogan would serve as a delegate to the 1980 republican convention. And you know, we have a lot of reagan devotees join us at the institute. But i think Governor Hogan may rank above them all. You see, he didnt just support Ronald Reagan in 1976, in 1980, in 1984. He managed to support him in 2020 as well. [laughter] now, i know you consider president reagan your political hero, governor, but that, sir, thats real dedication. And by the way, you didnt have to do that just to be invited here today. [laughter] ladies and gentlemen, i want to thank you for joining us. Were honored to welcome you virtua
Blinken is going to be his secretary of state in january. Of course i know tony blinken, i also know very well sullivan, who is going to be the National Security advisor because i work with someone i was in the government, theyre both very, very sensible, knowledgeable people with a great deal of international experience. So i think its a, its a very good side. Tony monken always, they supported wars in syria, libya, afghanistan, and iraq. Did you send this book . Because i dont know if this isnt a policy recommendation book about afghanistan, i dont know what it is. We sent this to move might bump a 0 and tony blinken. Oh i havent. I havent sent the book to either of them, but attorney blinken is quite familiar with my views and even more familiar with my views is jake solvent because he was working directly for secretary of state Hillary Clinton, when i was in the state department and we worked together on this quite a bit. So they, they know very well that i was a strong advocate of
I think what biden has said is just a repetition of long term or long time u. S. Policy about wanting to have a counterterrorism presence in afghanistan. But once he examines the current situation, he will see that there is a choice between maintaining the agreement with the taleban and keeping those troops there. So i think when he realised when you evaluates everything, if there is reasonable progress in the negotiations and support for it from the regional countries including russia, then im sure that he will go ahead with a troop withdrawal. I would assume that he will advocate the same thing and 2020 that he did in 2000 because he did support the original war famously. Joe joe biden. Well, they have been rocket attacks scores injured or dead in kabul in just the past few days. A horrific inquiry in australia of showing the torture and killing by australias Defense Forces of farmers and prisoners and civilians.

So they, they know very well that i was a strong advocate of a political settlement to the u. S. Troop withdrawal from the very beginning. For me, there of course, doesnt mean i agree with you, expect a job in the new administration is not up to me waiting to hear if anyone is interested in my doing it. Because when you say then the you want a withdrawal, perhaps a phased withdrawal, even joe biden, very quick to say that trump has been wrong to withdraw troops from afghanistan, and that joe biden cited the erroneous reports apparently of russian bounties.
