[clearing throat] i have tried to hold myself together here but i have seen it so many times. it is impossible to watch. especially when it was this senseless, this preventable. and entirely the result of something that none of our service members ever had. they were never intimidated. all the guys that i was in the hospital next to like johnny joey jones and others that you know, everybody s desire laying in those beds was just to get back in the fight. just to hold the line. just to fight for the things that we believed. in these what these fighters were all about. but they were killed by the lambs in the white house that allowed themselves to be intimidated which is what they never were. steve: speaking of the dignified transfer and you see that and one of the enduring images of it is the president checking his watch and, you know, a number of the families who talked to the the washington post said, you

congressman from the great state of florida. he was talking about how we get accountability going forward. but he was also quite struck at the dignified transfer on sunday of the number of times joe biden looked at his watch. watch this. the most important thing that you bring into battle is the reason why. why are you doing that? what are you fighting for. and the why for president biden in every single action here is totally unacceptable. that s what has to be held to account for everybody that s been a part of this process. why did you let yourself become intimidated? why did you pick an optical date so you could have a photo op.? why did you give up the high ground? why didn t you listen to those who warned you otherwise? president biden is the one that deserves the shame he s more concerned about his watch than about giving those families every single minute to talk about how they feel and the
