there's no one that's actually taking
[72]
ownership how's that problem gonna get

[86]
the thing is you can't make excuses and
[88]
we've heard a lot of excuses from the

afghanistan run away or i was just
[98]
following through with the deal from the
[100]
last administration
[102]

[184]
talking to some of them and hearing that
[185]

[189]
all yes it's absolutely sickening to
[190]
hear that and second of all yes american
[193]
troops are ready to go and ready to do
[195]
what is needed to keep those people safe
[198]
and what was your reaction when you
[199]
heard that the cia director met face to
[201]
face with the taliban leader
[205]
i can tell you that
[207]
this is not progress this is not
[209]
progress we do not we should not
[210]
negotiate with terrorists it's not what
[212]
we do
[214]
i do want to get to the good guys that
[216]
are there on the ground we have so many
[217]
american service members that are doing
[219]
wonderful things these images circulated
[221]
and have been circulating on social
[222]
media over the last few days there was
[224]
an image of our service men and women
[226]
that were feeding or pouring water from
[229]
water bottles into the mouths of the
[231]
babes that were there waiting to get on
[233]
on planes and trying to hopefully get
[235]
out of there and be saved their um
[238]
videos of our men and women that are
[240]
lifting babies over the walls and
[242]
helping out the adults as well
[245]
you guys are heroes what's your message
[246]
to them
[248]
well seeing soldiers and marines behave
[251]
like that is no surprise at all to me
[253]
this is how they are trained this is how
[254]
they expected to be behave these are the
[256]
values that they live by and not to
[258]
mention these soldiers and marines these
[260]
are brothers and sisters and mothers and
[263]
fathers and sons and daughters
[264]
themselves these warriors that we see
[267]
they are human beings as well and they
[269]
take their humanity with them onto the
[272]
battlefield and their mission there is
[273]
to help the friendly civilians
[275]
and that's exactly what they're going to
[277]
do they're going to execute their
[278]
mission yeah jacob i'm watching them
[280]
drink this water that's clean and i was
[282]
reading this morning so many of the
[284]
children are malnourished over there
[286]
there's fecal matter that's found in
[288]
their water which obviously is not
[289]
healthy for these children why do you
[292]
serve is it to do things like that to
[293]
help other people that are innocent
[297]
well that's that's why people in the u.s
[299]
military serve is to try and help people
[300]
that can't help themselves
[302]
god bless you jacob thank you so much
[305]
thanks for having me you're welcome
