We spent over a trillion dollars to prop up the government of Afghanistan to try and train their military. And in doing so, we supported this man by the name of Ashraf Ghani. You see this guy on tv, Ashraf Ghani was the president of Afghanistan. Now, I want to talk a little about Ashraf Ghani, because I don't think he's got enough attention recently. I don't think he has received enough attention recently. He was born in 1949. His Wikipedia bio, which you have to take with a little bit of a grain of salt, let me just say this. Ashraf Ghani's Wikipedia is much kinder to him than the Wikipedia about me. And let me be very clear. I did not abandon my country with cash. Keep that in mind. When you read Wikipedia. It says that he's an academic. Well, that should be a fire alarm right there. Put an academic in charge of a country like Afghanistan. Your country can't even read, and you're an academic. Co founder of the Institute for State Effectiveness, an organization, an American organization set up in 2005 to improve the ability of states to serve their citizens. Don't think he did very well. He went to American University in Beirut, and then he became a professor at Johns Hopkins University. Well, that explains a lot of Johns Hopkins was one of the first institutions to implement German historicism. I believe that's where John Dewey either taught or went to school, who's basically the father of the modern government school system. He then went and worked for the World bank and was the finance minister for Hamid Karzai's cabinet until his resignation in December of 2004. Then he became the dean of Kabul University. Oh, so he's like Afghanistan's Woodrow Wilson. From there he got into government, and he then went to the Commission on Legal Empowerment of the Poor. And then he was involved in the United nations development program. In 2013, he was ranked 50th in an online poll to name the world's top 100 intellectuals, conducted by Foreign Policy and by Prospect Magazine. Now, someone in the CIA or the Department of Defense in America thought it would be a good idea to make this academic former World bank guy the president of Afghanistan. They say he's an independent politician and ideologically liberal. And so he started to run for political office. I want you to think about who this sounds like. He came in fourth in the 2009 presidential election. He then ran in the 2014 presidential election, securing less votes than rival Abdullah. Abdullah. You know, it's unlike Ricky Bobby, who has two first names. This guy has the same first name and last name. Ricky Boba. You're not first, you're last. Abdullah Abdullah. That sounds like a Middle Eastern law firm. Instead of suing you, we'll cut your head off in the first round, but winning a majority in the second round. Following political chaos, the United States then intervened and propped up Ashraf Ghani. So, Ashraf Ghani. I'm probably mispronouncing his name. Ashraf. You know what? He doesn't deserve a proper pronunciation. He was installed as president. He's a puppet. He never earned the trust of the people. And a good rule for life is that when you install leaders, the nations fall apart and voters reject that. It's all built on a Potemkin village. So after finishing fourth in the 2009 presidential election and losing to Abdullah Abdullah, the United States then intervened and still installed him as president of Afghanistan. Some reports say that his election was mired by allegations of voter fraud in the 2019 presidential election. Ghani said in 2017 that he had the worst job on earth. As the Taliban started to take over Afghanistan, Ghani left the country with millions of dollars in cash, some people say upwards of $100 million in cash, and fled to the United Arab Emirates. It really did beg the Did Ashraf Ghani ever want to be president? Did he want to actually be in charge of his country? Ashraf Ghani reminds me, and should remind you of Joe Biden. Ashraf Ghani was propped up for a specific purpose, was put in place under false pretenses. Remember, Joe Biden was not on pace to win the Democrat nomination. Let's just go back into a year and a half ago. Joe Biden finished fourth in Iowa behind Alfred E. Newman and Bernie Sanders. Joe Biden barely finished at all in New Hampshire. I think he finished fifth in New Hampshire. But it was the alleged South Carolina reset. And here's. You know what would actually be a really interesting book to write. I remember exactly where I was when this happened. I was in Florida. The MAGA doctrine was about to come out. It was February, right before the South Carolina primary in 2020. And I remember watching the news, and I turned to Erica, my wife, I said, barack Obama's working the phones. Because in one weekend, Robert Francis o', Rourke, Pete Buttigieg, Cory Booker, Elizabeth Warren, all endorsed Joe Biden simultaneously, including Clyburn from South Carolina. It was a manufactured endorsement because, and this is what I'll never understand, why the Bernie Sanders supporters allowed themselves to be cheated and steamrolled twice. They didn't want to have Bernie Sanders in a presidential general election. So a deal was brokered. A unity plan was put forward, very similar to Ashraf Ghani with Abdullah Abdullah. We don't know if Joe Biden ever wanted to be President or if that he was put into that position as the kind of cheap backup plan. What we do know though, or we can suspect, is we should ask the question, does Joe Biden want to be president Now, Right now, Does Joe Biden want to be president? If Joe Biden was given a chance with $169 million to flee America to go to the United Arab Emirates, I bet he'd take it. You think Joe Biden wants to take questions on Afghanistan? No, he doesn't. He flees. Joe Biden also has been making strange statements about how Kami might be taking over at any time soon. Joe Biden seems uninterested in the fact that Americans are stranded in Kabul. It really does beg the question, does he want to be president? And usually when you prop up leadership, they don't always want to be president. They want the trappings of the president or the presidency, but they don't actually want to have to go through the pressure or the process. Ghani is now in exile in the United Arab Emirates and Ghani was a project of the Central Intelligence Agency run by the Democrat Party. Joe Biden is not a project of the CIA. Depends on how deep you want to go. But he is a project of the Democrat machine. When you prop up leaders, voters tend to not like it. And I'm going to also just say this question one more time. Does Joe Biden really want to be president right now? Doesn't seem like it. I want to get to some sound here. Cut 44. CNN reporting on Ashraf Ghani leaving the country and just going to United Arab Emirates. Who is in charge of installing this guy? This is the problem with nation building. This is the issue with trying to impose Western values in a country that is still living in the fifth century, going into Afghanistan and acting as if they are going to embrace democracy is only possible if you do not understand the 1500 years of work that the west went into of developing an intellectual tradition that was able to respect natural rights, freedom of speech, discourse and dialogue. Acting as if the 6th century people of Afghanistan are just going to all of a sudden embrace John Locke, Thomas Aquinas, Montesquieu, want checks and balances, independent judiciary, consent of the governed, God granted natural rights. It would make sense that a bunch of college educated people would believe that because they don't teach any of that stuff in college. The postmodern curriculum is that we can reshape human beings to our liking. So Ashraf Ghani, who is the Afghan equivalent of Joe Biden, a propped up installed leader For a very specific purpose, a puppet leader, if you will, speaks out and says, actually, this is CNN reporting on it. Listen to this. Cut 44.
