00:00The world's on fire and the country's in decline, and I think we need new leadership.
00:05So that will be my approach, is that she was the last person in the room with President
00:09Biden before he decided to withdraw from Afghanistan.
00:12She encouraged that decision.
00:13I don't think she should ever be in a room to make those decisions again.
00:17So that's my view.
00:18But did Trump's comments yesterday focus Republican voters on policy?
00:22No, I think, I think my two cents worth, I think the way back into power is to compare
00:29his presidency with what's going on today, offer solutions to problems.
00:34That's the way back into power.

00:45The world is on fire, terrorism is rampant, and we give a plea deal to the mastermind
00:49of 9-11.
00:50That just encourages more attacks.
00:52I think it was an ill-conceived idea.
00:55He's not going anywhere.
00:57I mean, he's held as an enemy combatant.
01:00I just think it sends a horribly bad signal at a very dangerous time.
