elp Afghanistan if they don't have the will to fight for their own whatever. Now apparently they have plenty of will to be Taliban. Whatever the Taliban is doing is working.

Now by the way, do you know, another, I haven't seen any reporting on this, but are you aware that the bad guys, and ISIS was the famous one for this, they would take some kind of drug that would make them fearless in battle? It was some kind of, I think it was a narcotic, but they commonly took some kind of drug that made them impervious to fear. Which made them impossible to beat because you couldn't make them afraid by killing a lot of them. They just keep coming. So I think that drug is a big part of the story of why a smaller force could beat a bigger force.

But yeah, why were we in a country that didn't have the will to sustain itself? It really didn't. It didn't have any interest in being its own country it looked like.

Max Abrams had a funny tweet about this. He said I think the CDC was supplying Biden with intel about Kabul. Is there any large organization, public organization, that is now not thoroughly discredited? Is anybody left? What would be a major American organization, let's say a public organization, that still has any credibility? I would say the military still does. Would you agree? Our military leaders got some explaining to do, especially this week. But the military itself I would say still credible. Supreme Court, we don't like the decision sometimes but I would say still credible. So I think the Supreme Court and the military are holding the country together. That's what I think. That's what it feels like.

The police, yes I would say I think the police are still credible, right? You know, would you agree? I mean you could march all you want about individual tragedies that happen. They should never have happened. But I think the police are still a credible organization. You aren't credible if half the country doesn't trust you. Well who would that refer to? Not the teachers unions. Not intel. Not the government. Not Congress. Not the CDC. Not the World Health Organization. Credibility is pretty hard to come by these days.

Speaking of credibility, the White House press secretary, I saw Joel quote tweet on this. So Jen Psaki is taking her vacation at the same time that Biden's on vacation. Which makes sense or doesn't. Does it make sense that the spokesperson would be on vacation the same time as the president? I guess it could go either way. But what could be a worse look than the worst botching of international anything we've ever had and a president who's on vacation? That's the worst look.

Now there's some reporting that it's Jill Biden who's the one who kept Joe Biden from talking in public sooner. I wonder if that's true. Again that's the kind of news I don't believe, you know, just on the surface. But who knows.

So have you ever felt more leaderless than this? Isn't this the most leaderless you've ever felt? Like I don't really think anybody's in charge right now. Do you? I mean literally who's in charge? Because nobody really believes that Biden has full control of anything. And when he's on vacation it just sort of raises that question. Literally who's in charge? I don't know who's running the country right now.

What would stop China from taking over Taiwan tomorrow? Could you imagine a better time to do it? Now I don't think it's going to happen because I mean that would get pretty bloody pretty fast. But if they were looking for an opportunity to do it, what's better than this week? No, I don't think it'll happen and it would be horrible if it did. But we put ourselves in a bad situation here with our allies. So we do have to worry about that.

Apparently, speaking of how bad China is, I guess they work with, oh, so in
