That is fox's Ashley Strohmeier. Not what I wanted to be talking about today. Not how I hoped we would start the show today. Probably not how you wanted to spend your Black Friday or Thanksgiving weekend. But here we are because we're still paying the price for Joe Biden having been president of the United States. It's an unfortunate thing, sense of the past, but it's not all bad news. And so we're going to walk you through this and we're going to get to some potentially great news like for example, Trump care, which is what I have been advocating for essentially my entire life. And about now you're going, hold on. This is not Clay. This is not Buck. It is not. This is Brian Mudd. I'm the host of the Brian Mudd show and I am hubbed out of my home station WJNO in West Palm beach, just a few miles from the President. Mar A Lago. It is always an honor and a pleasure truly to have these opportunities with you and really thank you for taking a little time out of your Black Friday, your Thanksgiving weekend to spend with the show. So as always, I want to make it worth your while. You'll hear me say there are two sides of stories and one side to facts and fact of the matter is I did have a wonderful Thanksgiving with my family and friends as well, including our friend Eileen who heads up the local St. Vincent de Paul at our church. And just a wonderful human being, reminder of all the good things that can be this time of year and all throughout the course of this year and so do wish the same for you and your family. But obviously for two service members from West Virginia in Washington, D.C. just before Thanksgiving, yeah, anything but, anything but a wonderful Thanksgiving. Certainly not what they expected to see either having just been sworn in and Islamic terrorists from Afghanistan. That the fun thing is now that we are hearing was vetted, we're hearing that. Okay, so. And the collapse of Afghanistan, the debacle, the embarrassment that was Biden allowing everything that transpired back in August of 2021 to take place, that confirmed to the rest of the world that we are that week with Joe Biden as president. Every single aspect of all of that weakness that continues to be manifest to this day, it continues to serve as a reminder of the importance to stand by and thank those who serve in all the armed forces, right down to those in law enforcement as well. During this holiday season, those who put on the badge, they leave their families, they go to work never knowing what the heck might happen next. So, yeah, serves as that kind of reminder, too. When I was taking a look at how I wanted to address this today, I thought back to the feelings I had immediately following the collapse in Afghanistan and what it was that I covered on that particular day. And the fact of the matter is that it's as true today as it was then. I'm going to walk you through it. So we are still paying the price for Joe Biden. Joe Biden has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue of the past four decades. A streak that remained intact throughout his entire presidency. Those were the words of Obama's Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates might remember that right during the Obama administration ended up writing a book, ended up talking about just how Joe Biden was absolutely wrong on every major foreign policy decision. And my thought in the immediate aftermath of the collapse in Afghanistan was that, you know what, really should not be surprised here? Is there any surprise? The only Obama cabinet member that was opposed to the raid that took out Osama bin Laden suddenly going to start making better foreign policy decisions or any kind of decisions, period. And so in the wake of the terror attack, they left 13American soldiers dead as we had our plane that was evacuating with all kinds of. I'm sure they were vetted. They were all really just vetted Afghans, just like the Islamic terrorists that had been vetted, we're hearing now by the Biden administration. So you should feel good about all that. He just lost his mind is what we're hearing now. But as we lost those 13 service members in Afghanistan during the final collapse, now we're taking a look at a loss of 14. God willing, it won't be 15. Joe Biden killed 13 members of our military on that day. He killed one this far out of office. And how many Americans independent of the vetted Afghan refugees continue to pay the price by zip and border policies every single day. So, yeah, one of the things that came to mind back In August of 2021, when this all took place is I was thinking, you know what, we started hearing about things like the Taliban again. And one of the questions I posed that day to my audience was, when was the last time you thought about the Taliban? Was it was like 15 or 20 years ago. When was the last time you heard about Al Qaeda? It would have been when Osama bin Laden was taken out and back in 2021, that was over a decade ago. And I also asked the question about prior to that particular week In August of 2021, when was the last time that you were worried about isis? It had been about four years when Trump finished bombing the blank out of them. Remember how President Trump back in the 2016 campaign ran on bombing the blank out of ISIS? They had their caliphate. You know, you had Obama, he called on the Muslim Brotherhood to rise up, and they're like, okay, great, we're going to do that. And so you had all the Islamic terrorists around the world, like, sweet, got the back in the president, United States. We're going to go out there, we're going to do our thing. They did. And so Trump runs on, okay, we're going to bomb the blank out of him, Gets into office, he bombs the blank out of isis. They went away. All this stuff was not an issue during the entirety of the Trump administration. But then Biden. But then Biden. So, yeah, Biden was wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue of his entire life, which was in politics. But the difference was versus when Robert Gates first made that statement, as we saw during the entirety of his four years, he didn't have somebody who could override his bad decisions. He just went ahead and steered all of those bad decisions. And so every single day that Joe Biden was president of the United States, it made the United States less safe, for that matter, and made the entire world less safe. And it's what happens when you put your trust in the wrong people. It's what happens when you make bad decisions, and there are consequences that you have to pay for them. And it's got to be a learning opportunity that never stops. As we take a look towards next year's midterm elections, for anybody who's like, oh, you know, I just don't know. I mean, we might need Democrats back in. How could you take a chance going back to what has been that you continue to pay a price for every single day that you're less safe for and your family's less safe for every single day. You know, I into my thoughts in that particular day, just in the aftermath of the fall of Afghanistan in 2021, by saying my expectations for the Biden administration were low. At that point, I was genuinely the most concerned for our country that had been in my lifetime. But already by that point, his first year in August, just a matter of months, he managed to prove to be far worse than I'd even envisioned that he would be. You know, one of the things he said in the immediate aftermath of the fall of Afghanistan In August of 2021, he said, we will hunt down everyone who perpetrated the attack. You know, that we never got anybody, none of the terrorists responsible for taking out those 13 service members, not one of them. Now, due to the Trump administration, we can have confidence that for our vetted, so called vetted Afghan terrorists who just took a 14th service member's life in Washington D.C. that there will be accountability. But I'd leave it to Biden to import the terror into our country. You know, one of the things I thought in that moment is that if Biden, when he said, we will hunt down everyone who perpetrated the attack that he never did, if you were going to address everyone responsible for that attack, he's, he would have started by resigning because nobody was more responsible than him. And so from our southern border to Afghanistan, the country in the world was a less safe place because Joe Biden was President of the United States. You know, he wasn't competent enough to be president of an hoa, let alone the United States, but he was, because speaking of vetting, yet a dishonest news media back then that didn't. And yet too many Americans that take our freedom and safety for granted. And this is one of the lessons to move forward is that you can't take our freedom and our safety for granted. You know, back in the 2020 cycle, you had the people would be like, oh, mean Trump tweets, give me Joe Biden. And that would be like a guy that was probably somewhere on the homosexual Alphabet, but it'd be a boo mean Trump, Orangeman, give me Joe Biden. Even that person's less safe and has been less safe every single day because Biden was President United States. And you take a look at what's going on right now as we're dealing with the aftermath in D.C. as President Trump is working on peace with Russia and Ukraine. It was that whole event In Afghanistan that laid the groundwork for all this mess because that was the go ahead to Putin to, yeah, you know what, let's go ahead and invade Ukraine. And remember Biden leading up to the Russian invasion of Ukraine is, we're going to be super tough. Putin's not going to do it because we got sanctions and tough, tough, tough talk. And Putin's laughing. It was a fait accompli because he showed everything in that moment about how weak we were as a country with that man as president and with the left in general in charge. And so you see on so many different fronts all the different things we are competing with from the southern border and the deportation situation, the crimes that we continue to combat, all the frustrations and challenges of ICE every single day, the need to try to reach peace with Russia and Ukraine, this situation with these service members in D.C. so much of this all goes back to that one particular moment in August, along with Biden's four years of open border policies. But that was really the floodgate moment where everybody, every bad actor knew that there was no credibility left within the United States. They knew that it was open season. All they needed to do was get here. All they need would need to do is do something like hop on a refugee plane from Afghanistan or get to the southern border and, and go a sa this where I say asylum and border patrol agent beaten down by life in the Biden administration. Go. Oh yeah, it's another magic, a word person. Here's a brochure. Pick out your, your four or five star resort, you know, we'll and just take you straight there. Let no, no expense of the American taxpayer be spared and making you comfortable in our country, all that stuff that we are continuing to combat. So that's the bad news. We do have some better news about some of this. But first I want to walk you through the crime that is committed by the so called vetted people, by the asylum seekers, by the people that the Biden administration let in. But also what we're seeing as the Trump administration has been successfully combating this. That's coming up next. I'm Brian Mudd, in for Clayne Buck. Shh.
