Fear makes people do irrational things. When people are scared, they do things that they never would have even dreamed of doing. Hence the fear-mongering amongst the COVID-19 pandemic. Australians killing dogs due to COVID-19 restrictions, requiring two-year olds to wear masks, doctors refusing to treat unvaccinated patients, taking children away from in-person learning; These examples all stem from a place of fear. Mike Slater shares his perspective on how fear makes people to irrational things and leads people to do the unthinkable, and how this all ties in to why we can’t trust our experts.
The Taliban may have gotten the biggest U.S. military jackpot in the history of the world, and now they are not only mocking President Biden by wearing OUR U.S. military gear, but the Taliban also mocked the iconic WWII photo of U.S. Marines raising the flag on Iwo Jima. There is no doubt that this is all Biden’s fault. It’s a full-on failure, and the Taliban are making a mockery out of us and our weak government. Mike Slater shares his thoughts on the absolute disgrace of an administration and its catastrophic attempt of a withdrawal in Afghanistan.
The U.S. government admits that they don’t have an accurate number as to how many Americans are stranded in Afghanistan. U.S. citizens are being told to evacuate to the nearest airport as soon as possible, yet the government cannot guarantee their safety. Now, those Americans are told to steer clear of the dangers in and around the airport. The crisis on the ground in Afghanistan and outside the Kabul airport is just getting worse, but are all the critics being too harsh on Joe Biden? John Hayward, Breitbart News National Security Deputy Editor, shares his take on that, and the scenes outside the Kabul airport in Afghanistan.
Our leaders have failed us. Just how, after 20 years, did this all fall so easily, so quickly, in just three days? The lying and the manipulating; There is no end in sight. Slater shares how we were all lied to about Afghanistan, the ‘true story’ on the Afghanistan papers, and how this all ties it all in to the COVID pandemic.
Americans are at risk, stranded overseas, afraid to go to the airport, and our government is saying they do not have the capability to help them out. It’s a chaotic scene, and there are no clear answers. With Biden’s mix-messaging in blaming the military, blaming U.S. intelligence, blaming the Afghans, basically blaming everyone but HIMSELF. Kristina Wong, Breitbart News Pentagon Correspondent, is here to give us the latest news and updates on the Pentagon briefing, as well as the new reports on the Taliban takeover.
Think about all those family members and Veterans, who are thankfully now at home, but who sacrificed so much, and this is what comes out of it? Our military accomplished the goal in Afghanistan, but our government accomplished nothing in the U.S. withdrawal. Betrayal. Total betrayal. Meaghan Mobbs West Point Grad, Army veteran, and Visiting Fellow at Independent Women’s Forum, details the genuine sense of betrayal from our government, and how the U.S. planted the seed for women in Afghanistan. Also, Meaghan gives a few words of encouragement for our Veterans.
It’s clear that Biden was unprepared for what happened in Afghanistan. He, himself, admitted that it happened “quicker than anticipated,” causing them to be unprepared. That’s not the problem, though. The problem is that our administration is made up of weak leaders, who trust the experts. The same experts that have done us wrong and lied to us on numerous occasions, and think we are dumb, so they lie to us some more. The same U.S. Foreign Policy experts and intelligence services that Trump refused to listen to and take advice from. We knew this would happen, and we left all those people in the dust who’ve helped us. This never would have happened under Trump. Mike Slater explains why…
Flights have finally opened up again out of the Kabul airport, but the Taliban continues to surround the airport. It is an hour-by-hour situation in Afghanistan, right now. Though the question remains: How did this all go downhill so quickly? 20 years of work diminished in just a few days. Afghanistan is now a country run by a terror organization, that with our U.S. equipment and ammunition. Lisa Daftari, M.A. Foreign Affairs Expert and Editor-In-Chief at The Foreign Desk, details the latest on the people of Afghanistan, and just what we could have done differently.
We must push back against our government’s deceitful motives. We now have celebrities and experts telling us to ‘screw our freedom,’ and that our civil liberties don’t matter. People who are tired and miserable, become dependent on the government. The psychological harm of isolation during the COVID-19 lockdown took a toll on all of us, and that social isolation leads to manipulation. We then became manipulated by the government, and that is EXACTLY what is going on today. Mike Slater explains the three factors of fear, illogic, and isolation, and how they tie into this COVID-19 pandemic with our totalitarian government.
Was there ONE moment or ONE decision where everything started to go downhill in the Afghanistan War? Who bears the responsibility about what happened? It wasn’t our military, because they are the TRUE AMERICAN HEROES, and we have them to thank for the sacrifice, the service, and the freedom that we have in America. General Keith Kellogg Co-Chair of our Center for American Security AFPI (America First Policy Institute), sits down with Mike Slater to answer all of our questions about where we went so wrong in Afghanistan. Mike and General Kellogg also discuss Trump vs. Biden’s plans on the Afghanistan withdrawal.
Twenty years later, the Afghanistan war is over. How did it end? With a military plane taking off, and Afghans clinging to the sides of the plane, desperate to leave and flee Taliban control. The comparisons to Vietnam are apparent, yet clueless Biden can’t seem to fathom that. The Taliban has taken control of the $800 million dollar U.S. embassy in Kabul. Just one month ago, Biden said there would be ‘no circumstances’ where Americans would be lifted out of the U.S. embassy in Kabul. Look where we are now. Mike Slater shares his take on how our administration and experts have failed us, yet again.
There is a surge in domestic violence cases, suicides, and gun violence in California. Homelessness is completely out of control. Governor Gavin Newsom’s wicked policies and failed leadership have all contributed to the rising cost of living, and he’s even gone as far as saying that it’s illegal to be homeless. People just simply cannot afford to live in California. There are widespread fire, water, and power problems as well, and it is getting extremely hard to overcome these government failures. Joe Collins III, California Congressional Candidate (R) and U.S. Navy Veteran, sits down with Mike Slater on this ‘Total Recall’ special, to detail how some of the most poorly ran cities in and states in America are run by the Democrats, and just how bad things are under Newsom.
