that the american people care about, biden would have to pursue policies like opening up energy exploration and domestic production. that s something his base won t allow him to pursue so he is stuck. he tried to blame this on putin. they didn t work. denied that inflation existed. that hasn t worked. said it s transitory. that didn t work. that s the only strategy they have. they won t change policy. laura: mark, i want something else that leon penetta said more on point than the irish comment. from a personal point of view i understand why he said it. at the same time, when you are president of the united states, you just have to be disciplined to make sure you don t make comments that have to be clarified by the white house. laura: mark, you and i both know biden has been around
almost 50 years. has the word disciplined ever know used to describe him? well, no. he got into a lot of trouble with speeches and issues around that over the history. i worked with leon penetta. president clinton was disciplined when it came to the words of foreign policy. he knew every single one has meaning that reverberates around the world. laura: thank you. if biden s team cared about stopping autocrats they would reach out to americans who voted to trump and standing up for china. instead reaching out to china and bashing republicans. politico said the white house postponeded a summit with leaders from southeast asia schedule for this week. this is author of the 100 year
think is unrealistic. bret: the former secretary of defense leon penetta you heard him say at some point the war may be over and we may be out of afghanistan, but the war against the terrorists threat won t be over and we will likely have to play whack a mole with different element of radical islam. one big thing is the talk about the bagram air base and the decision to shut it down, whether it was the military advisors who told the president and he agreed with them. this is general milley and what president biden said about that. our ask given to us at that time: protect the embassy for the embassy personnel to continue to function. if we were to keep both bagram and the embassy going, that would be a significant number of forces that would have exceeded
with me. every single person in that room hedged their bet except leon penetta. he said go. everyone else said 49, 51. joe what do you think? i said i didn t know we had so many communists around the table. we know the man a direct answer. my suggestion is don t go. sean: don t go. that joe biden is long gone. today s weak and frail and cognitively strugging biden is getting steam rolled by america s enemies. we showed you china s threats against american and japanese military bases. china is talking about reunifying with taiwan and warning of consequences if america helps our ally.
