Our military servicemen and women are the true heroes. The twenty-year war in Afghanistan came to a tragic and abrupt end, but it was in no part due to our failed military. Our system, our leaders, our President failed us all. We owe it to our fallen soldiers and TRUE HEROES to now carry on their legacies. Mike Slater tells the stories about the boy with the yellow shirt ‘carry n’ shirt with fallen U.S. Marine Corporal Hunter Lopez, and the selfless acts of our nation’s loyal and courageous Special Operations Veterans, who have worked tirelessly to get those stranded out of Afghanistan.
A lot happened over the weekend in Afghanistan, and Mike Slater has you covered with the very latest. Mike is also joined by General Keith Kellogg to discuss how the military is handing the withdrawal at this very moment. Plus, Mark Geist breaks down the amount of Americans stranded in the middle east at the moment and what steps are being taken to get them home.
Not only has President Biden been working behind the scenes with the Taliban, but he has now admitted to it. Biden claims the Taliban are our allies, and we are now left to rely on THEM for OUR protection. On the other hand, our WOKE Generals seem to be too busy focusing on diversity, inclusion, and white rage, instead of the crisis unfolding in Afghanistan. This is, tragically, all at the cost of Americans lives stateside and in Afghanistan. Airborne Ranger qualified Captain, GOP Congressional Candidate in Georgia, and Author, ‘A Higher Calling: Pursuing Love, Faith, and Mount Everest for a Greater Purpose,’ Harold Earls, joins the show to break down the crisis in Afghanistan, as he shares his take on what ‘no man left behind means for him.’ You can also learn more at earls.org.
Biden has turned his back on America. His lack of response and leadership in this crisis is so appalling, that it’s hard to even wrap your mind around. Does he really think the Taliban have our best interest at heart? How incompetent is he? They are now in control of billions of dollars of our U.S. military equipment and gear, yet they are going to work with us to try and help us? None of this makes sense, and it’s truly a tragedy at the hands of our administration. Joe Collins III, California Congressional Candidate (R), and U.S. Navy Veteran, details Biden’s lack of response in Afghanistan, and how he is taking action to impeach Biden.

The House just passed the H.R. 4 John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2021. The democrats claim this bill would strengthen the Voting Rights Act of 1965, but there are many repercussions and dangers in the passing of this new bill, as it takes power away from state and local governments. Zach Smith, Legal Fellow, Heritage Foundation, gives us the rundown on the H.R. 4 Bill.
Just yesterday, the U.S. Embassy sent out a message, urging Americans to evacuate and avoid the gates at the airport in Kabul. Mike Slater, desperate for hope, thought maybe, just maybe, the American military wanted to start some type of operation to gain control and help the stranded to safety. Now, we are all faced with reports of the bombings in Kabul, causalities reported, and even reports of an Italian plane being shot at during takeoff. Nearly two dozen San Diego students and families are now trapped in Afghanistan, and hope is now diminishing as the Afghanistan crisis worsens. Mike Slater shares his thoughts on the dire situation in Afghanistan.

Plus, Zack Smith breaks down everything you need to know about the John Lewis Voting Rights trap.
We are in the midst of one of the largest hostage crises in American history. The administration is clueless as to how many Americans are actually stranded, and we are just six days away from the Taliban’s ‘red line.’ How is it going to be possible that the U.S. evacuates all those stranded in Afghanistan, when they have no control over anything anymore, and they are at the mercy of the Taliban? Here we have White House Spokesperson, Jen Psaki, saying they will help those who WANT to come home. The government are implying that people DON’T want to come home? This administration needs to get a grip, because this is an embarrassing failure for the ages. Mike Slater spreads the word on how President Biden is trying to trick you, and how he plans to deflect from the crisis.
American citizens stranded in Afghanistan have no way of getting to the airport. Have you seen the horrific scenes in and around Kabul? Chaos and desperation ensue, as the Taliban have completely taken over. Others are working all around the world to get those stranded out of Afghanistan, but our administration has no lack of accountability, and is just deflecting on its abysmal failures. President Biden and our administration have humiliated us, and no American likes that. Lt. Col. James Jay Carafano, Vice President for National Security and Foreign Policy at the Heritage Foundation, joins us to discuss how Biden has lost our country.
President Biden’s Afghanistan strategy is a disaster and Mike Slater is ready to expose what’s coming next. Also, mask mandates are back in certain parts of the countries and one state has even required masks outdoors. How do we put an end to all of this? Mike has thoughts. Plus, appearances from Lt. Col. James Jay Carafano and Rick Green.
We have seven days to complete the U.S. withdrawal in Afghanistan. Seven days. That’s the deadline that the Taliban gave to President Biden. Are we at now at the whim of the Taliban? Robert Wilke, Former VA Secretary and Air Force Reservist, sits down with Mike Slater to evaluate the latest on the crisis in Afghanistan.
