of the new book woke incorporated . also the title of his new fox nation special which is available now. he writes in an op-ed, quote, afghanistan was a ghastly display of how wokeness weakens america. el us what you mean by that tell us what you mean by that. i think there s exactly one way that president biden could have addressed this exit from afghanistan, and it was by issuing a credible threat to the taliban, if that if you renege on your prior agreements we will retaliate with total force, complete annihilation and issue that as a credible threat but he couldn t do it because he as the leader of the united states is obsessed with self-criticism and the taliban and our enemies know that even he believes he lacks the moral standing to use extraordinary force right when we need it most. that s not the whole story. there s a bit of incompetence here too. there s a fighting season for the taliban. the peak of the fighting season is the summer. why didn t president biden wait
because he himself does not speak with a moral standing that allows him to use extraordinary force right when we need it most. he is obsessed with self-criticism of the united states. i think that s actually one of the things i write about in my book. the geopolitical implications of wokeism are many. one is when we re weak at home it begets weakness abroad. when we re weak abroad it prevents us from displaying strength when we need it more. dana: the president and his political team say people close to biden visualize a political scenario where afghanistan doesn t scare him. they would appreciate he withdraw forces after 20 years. politically maybe that s true but the issue is doing what s right. what is the political call can you laws or what is right. i disagree. i think it was the right decision to exit afghanistan but to try to conflate that issue with the execution of how we exited is actually a game of
you want to know why? because he s obsessed with self criticism the united states. even the taliban knows he doesn t have the moral standing to back up that threat. so that is why they went for it. i think that s the way that woke-ism disrupts american on the global stage is it reduces our moral standing to use extraordinary force, precisely when we need it most. i think that s part of it. i also think it s incompetence. if you are joe biden, why wouldn t you go into winter? we have football season america. the taliban they have this thing. fighting season. it is summer. so guess what? in winter it is gold. they have snow. and said he wants the symbolism of doing it before 9/11. now if the symbolism of the taliban flag flying on the top of the u.s. embassy on the 20th anniversary of 9/11. greg: it s true, and it was all to bake it before a date. and then you choose the date and you to everybody that s what s happening and you do it when they fight it s a bit strange that they hav
you back. good to see you. shannon: tell us more. why do you think this president has demonstrated through his rhetoric that he may not have been the threat the taliban needs to seem to be? there is exactly one thing that would ve prevented the catastrophe from unfolding this week in afghanistan and it was if the taliban believed that the u.s. was going use extreme force, possible annihilation or decimation in response to their bad behavior of reneging on their prior agreements, i don t think they would ve gone for kabul. the new president joe biden wasn t that leader because he never issued that threat and even he believed he didn t have the moral standing to follow through because he is obsessed with self criticism of the united states. when you assess overstuffed criticism, you lack the moral standing as the united states. that s why we have the disaster that we did. shannon: i want to talk about social media. there s been a lot made of the
yet, president biden issued no threat going in and even if he did, they would have known that he could not make good on it. this is a president that max mack lacks a moral standing to do it. when you become under of chief of the united states was obsessed with self-criticism and criticizing the actions of the united states, you lack the ability to use extraordinary force when you need it most. the taliban is not irrational. they knew that and they made it calculated benefit. that s a way we could ve avoided it, but that s what we saw. harris: for getting what they wanted in us. they want us on the ground for a potential for that one is gone and they want us gone quickly because they are ready to taliban as a verb. the rush is on to get our people out but it looks like this. shannon: yes, and we need transparency and facts. we have do the people out of there. that is a priority. but we also need to know how we got here. we heard a little bit of the
