00:00Our opponents inherited a world at peace and turned it into a planet of war. We're in a planet of war

00:07Look at that attack on Israel. Look at what's happening

00:11With Ukraine the cities are just bombed out. How can people live like that?

00:16We're buildings massive buildings are falling to the ground

00:21It began to unravel with the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan the worst humiliation in the history of our country

00:28We have never had a humiliation like that

00:3113 heroic US service members were tragically and needlessly killed 45 others were horrifically wounded

00:38Nobody ever talks about them. No arms. No legs

00:42face explosions

00:45Horrifically horrifically wounded and by the way, we have a man in this room

00:52Who's running for the US Senate?

00:55from a great state

00:58Nevada named Sam Brown

01:01Who paid the ultimate price?

01:05Thank you, Sam, thank you, Sam

01:11Thank you

01:16He paid the biggest price

01:19Probably ever paid by anybody that is running for office and I think he's going to do great

01:24He's running against a person that is not good not respected a total lightweight

01:31But Sam I think paid really we were talking about it

01:34With some of the senators that are working so hard for Sam

01:38But he paid the biggest price of any senator ever to run for the Senate

01:43I don't think anybody's ever what he did

01:45He was a real hero a really great person and he's running and I hope that everybody gets out and votes for Sam Brown

01:55And

01:59We also left behind

02:02$85 billion worth of military equipment

02:05Along with many American citizens were left behind

02:10Many many American citizens

02:12Emboldened by that disaster Russia invaded Ukraine. They saw this group of people that were incompetent. We took the soldiers out first

02:19No, no, we're going to take the soldiers out second if they would have followed my plan

02:23We had a great plan

02:25But the plan only kicked in if they did everything perfectly and they weren't doing things perfectly

02:30So we said it doesn't kick in, you know 18 months in Afghanistan

02:34we didn't have one so they were killing them left and right snipers and

02:40I spoke to the head of the Taliban

02:43You've heard this story

02:45Abdul still there still the head of the Taliban the press got on me. Why would you speak to him?

02:51I said because that's where the killing is

02:52I don't have to speak to somebody that has nothing to do with it

02:56And I told him don't ever do that. Don't ever do that again. Don't ever ever do that again

03:01you're gonna stop because during the Obama administration many

03:06Great people and soldiers a lot of soldiers were being killed from long distance. I

03:11Said if you keep doing that you're gonna be hit harder than anybody's ever been hit by a country before

03:22And

03:24He said I understand your excellency call me your excellency I

03:29Wonder if he calls the other guy your excellency. I doubt it

03:33The other guy gave him everything. I mean what kind of a deal was that he walked out gave him everything

03:38You know that right now

03:40Afghanistan is one of the largest sellers of weapons in the world

03:44They're selling the brand-new beautiful weapons that we gave them

03:50But think of it he actually said to me, but why but why do you

03:55Show me a picture of my home. I said you'll have to ask your people or one of your wives

04:03But he could figure it out and for 18 months

04:07We had not one attack on an American soldier by the Taliban

04:1318

04:20And

04:22Then we had that horrible day where soldiers were killed I was not there because of a ridiculous election

04:29but we had that horrible attack and

04:32They also gave up Bagram one of the biggest bases anywhere in the world air bases anywhere in the world the longest runways most powerful

04:40Hardened thickened runways we gave it up, and I liked it not because of

04:45Afghanistan I liked it because of China it's one hour away from where China makes their nuclear weapons

04:50And you know who has it now China has it now

04:55We were keeping that

04:59And now China is likewise circling Taiwan and Russian warships and nuclear submarines are operating

05:0660 miles off the coast in Cuba

05:09Do you know that the press refuses to write about it if that were me running this country?

05:14And we had nuclear submarines in Cuba I

05:18Will tell you that the headlines every day would be what's wrong with our president. You don't even hear this

05:23You're not hearing about this Russia has nuclear submarines and warships

05:2960 miles away mr. Congressman

05:32From Miami by the way happens to be here correct

05:37in Cuba

05:39And that would not be stood for if it were somebody else

05:42They don't want to mention it, but now maybe they will
