ASHLEY: ALL RIGHT, MIKE TOBIN,
MIKE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
GOOD TIME TO BRING IN KT
MCFARLAND WHO JOINS US THIS
MORNING.
KT, HOW DANGEROUS IS THIS
DOCUMENT, OR TO MIKE’S
POINT THERE THEY HAVE BEEN
MANIPULATED JUST MISINFORMATION
CAMPAIGN?
>> YEAH, IT COULD BE ANY ONE OF
A DOZEN THINGS.
IT COULD BE PEOPLE INSIDE THE
U.S. GOVERNMENT THAT ARE
UNHAPPY WITH THE WAR IN UKRAINE,
COULD BE PEOPLE INSIDE THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT THAT ARE
UNHAPPY THAT WE’RE NOT DOING
ENOUGH TO HELP THE UKRAINIANS.
IT COULD BE DISINFORMATION.
THE PROBLEM IS YOU JUST DON’T
KNOW, BUT THE RAMIFICATIONS OF
IT, YOU DO KNOW, WHICH IS THAT
IT’S GOING TO MAKE A WAR IN
UKRAINE MORE DIFFICULT FOR THE
UKRAINIANS TO FIGHT, AND
PREVAIL IF THAT’S OUR GOAL, BUT
THE OTHER THING IS TO ME, AND
I’VE BEEN AT THIS FOR 45 YEARS.
WHEN YOU START SEEING LEAKS LIKE
THIS , BIG TIME LEAKS,
THROUGHOUT FROM PROBABLY SEVERAL
DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES IN THE
U.S. GOVERNMENT, THAT’S
USUALLY AN INDICATION THAT ALL
IS NOT WELL IN THOSE SERVICES,
WHETHER IT’S MILITARY SERVICES,
INTELLIGENCE SERVICES AND I
THINK THAT THEY ARE THE OUTWARD
AND VISIBLE SIGN THAT OUR
INTELLIGENCE SERVICES AND OUR
MILITARY SERVICES ARE NOT HAPPY,
WHETHER THEY’RE NOT HAPPY WITH
THE POLITICAL DIRECTION OF THEIR
SENIOR LEADERSHIP, WHETHER
THEY’RE NOT HAPPY WITH THE
ABILITIES THAT THEY ARE
GIVEN.
THE CAPABILITIES THEY ARE GIVEN.
WHETHER THEY THINK THAT WE’RE
NOT ACHIEVING THE RIGHT MISSION,
FOCUSED AGAIN SOMEWHERE OTHER
THAN ASIA WHICH IS WHAT THE MAIN
PHONE US OF OUR INTENTION SHOULD
BE AT SO IT’S A LOT OF
UNANSWERED QUESTIONS BUT ANY
INVESTIGATION ON WHAT HAPPENED,
WHAT HAPPENED?
OH, COME ON.
THE HORSES ARE ALREADY OUT OF
THE BARN.
THE IMPORTANT THING IS WHAT IS
THE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT, HOW DO WE
FIX IT.
NOT WHAT HAPPENED, WHO DID IT,
AND WHY.
ASHLEY: RIGHT.
NEXT ONE FOR YOU, AND I KNOW YOU
HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ON THIS.
SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM IS RIP
PING INTO THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION FOR ITS REPORT ON
THE WITHDRAWAL FROM AFGHANISTAN.
LISTEN TO THIS , KT, I’LL GET
YOUR COMMENTS.
>> THIS REPORT IS A POLITICAL
WHITEWASH BY THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION TO SHIFT BLAME.
WHEN THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION
TELLS YOU THERE ARE NO
TERRORISTS IN AFGHANISTAN, THEY
ARE LYING.
THERE’S A LETHAL COCKTAIL
FORMING.
RISE OF TERRORISM, AFGHANISTAN,
A BROKEN BORDER HERE IN THE
UNITED STATES.
IT’S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME SO
THERE’S ANOTHER 9/11, IF WE
DON’T CHANGE POLICIES.
MY VIEW OF WHAT HAPPENED IN
AFGHANISTAN BY BIDEN WAS HE PAID
THE WAY FOR ANOTHER 9/11.
ASHLEY: DO YOU AGREE WITH THE
SENATOR ANALYSIS, KT?
>> YEAH, SURE, BUT THE
IMPORTANT POINT IS AN EVEN
BIGGER ONE WHICH IS WHAT THE
HECK HAS HAPPENED TO THE
UNITED STATES MILITARY AND THE
INTEGRITY OF THE UNITED
STATES MILITARY.
YOU KNOW, HISTORICALLY, 20, 30,
100 YEARS, THE U.S. MILITARY AND
THE INTELLIGENCE SERVICES, THEY
WERE INDEPENDENT.
THEY DIDN’T SERVE POLITICAL
MASTERS.
THEY TOLD IT STRAIGHT.
THEIR JOB WAS TO FIGHT AND WIN
WARS, OR TO ANALYZE WHAT THE
ENEMY WAS UP TO AND TAKE,
HELP US TO TAKE STEPS TO COUNTER
THOSE CAPABILITIES OF OUR
ADVERSARIES.
WHAT’S THE PURPOSE OF THE
MILITARY NOW?
I DON’T THINK THAT I’VE EVER
SEEN IT AND THIS IS INCLUDING IN
THE HEIGHTS OF THE POST-VIETNAM
PERIOD, WHERE THEY HAVE NOW
TURNED INTO POLITICAL HACKS,
RIGHT?
EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT THE
AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL WAS A
DISASTER.
I MEAN, THE MILITARY EQUIPMENT
WE LEFT BEHIND, WE COULD HAVE
BEEN, YOU KNOW, BEEN SUPPORTING
UKRAINE 10 TIMES OVER WITH WHAT
WE JUST LEFT BEHIND IN THE
BATTLEFIELD.
ASHLEY: RIGHT.
>> SO THE MILITARY SENIOR
LEADERSHIP AND THE POLITICAL
SENIOR LEADERSHIP, THEY HAVE NOW
, I THINK, THEY HAVE ABRAGATE
D THE CONSTITUTION
AND BECOME POLITICAL HACKS AND
DOING COVER JOBS FOR POLITICAL
LEADERS.
WHY?
BECAUSE THEY ALL WANT TO STAY IN
OFFICE.
THEY ALL WANT TO GET THE PERKS
BUT WHAT’S HAPPENING IS THAT THE
UNITED STATES MILITARY IS
NOT CAPABLE OF DOING THE JOB
THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING,
RIGHT?
DEFENDING THE UNITED STATES,
KEEPING THE SOUTHERN BORDER
CLOSED.
LOOKING AHEAD AT THE WEAPONS
SYSTEMS OF THE FUTURE.
DEVELOPING TECHNOLOGIES LIKE
HYPERSONIC WEAPONS THAT WE DON’T
HAVE AND THE CHINESE AND THE
RUSSIANS HAVE.
WHAT ARE WE DOING?
WE’RE SO FOCUSED ON WOKISM
REPORTS THAT WE’RE NOT DOING
WHAT WE’RE ASKING THESE PEOPLE
WHEN THEY RAISE THEIR RIGHT HAND
, AND THEY TAKE THEIR OATH
OF OFFICE, WE’RE NOT ALLOWING
THEM OR THEY’RE NOT ALLOWING
THEMSELVES TO FULFILL THEIR OATH
OF OFFICE.
ASHLEY: COULDN’T HAVE PUT IT
BETTER.
WHAT A SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS BUT
