On December 5, 2013, Ronnie Smith was shot and killed in the Libyan city of Benghazi. In this second half of our interview with Anita Smith, Ronnie's widow, she talks about the legacy her husband left and the faith she continues to exercise in raising their son without his earthly father around. Shortly after Ronnie's death, Anita spoke in media interviews about her love for the Libyan people and about forgiving her husband's murderers—including interviews in Arabic with Middle East broadcasters. Anita will share some of the things she wants their son to know about his earthly father, and ways God has encouraged and sustained her in the eight years since Ronnie's murder. She'll also talk about how the testimonies of other Christians facing persecution and hardship encouraged her faith. If you missed the first half of the conversation with Anita, listen here.

9-11-2012. That was a day most red-blooded Americans will never forget.As a US Army Veteran I know I never will.That was the day we lost a US Ambassador and personal friend of Bill and Hillary Clinton, Ambassador Chris Stevens.We also lost a civilian contractor, Sean Smith, and two former Navy SEALs, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods. All of their deaths could have been avoided, and SHOULD have. So many absolute blunders and horrible decisions were made that night, and the weeks leading up to that night, that people should have gone to prison at a minimum. Instead, it's difficult to say anyone, ANYONE, has even been held accountable, other than possibly losing an election over it.Last week the attendees of the SEHIA Conference in San Antonio had the amazing opportunity to hear a first-hand account of what really happened that night from one of the survivors, John "Tig" Tiegen. John was working as a CIA contractor, providing security for the covert CIA annex that was less than a mile away from the US Consulate that was attacked in the early evening of 9-11-12. John dispelled some rumors, confirmed others and most importantly, gave an almost minute by minute account of the cowardly actions of some, and the incredibly heroic actions of others, as that fateful night unfolded. How did the United States, with the most powerful military in the world, a massive intelligence apparatus, political and economic influence in every corner of the world and an intimate understanding of terror groups not be fully prepared to defend our strategic assets, let alone a US Ambassador, on the anniversary of 9-11?Above all else, all of us need to ask ourselves "What kind of leaders, political or military, would abandon their own citizens?" And as a follow on to that question, do we really want them in charge today? Each of us needs to answer that for ourselves but I think I make it clear how I would answer that.For more about John Tiegan go to his website at: https://www.johntiegen.com/pages/bioAll Things Crime is a new, comprehensive video series that will explore every aspect of crime and the ensuing investigation, one video interview at a time. The host, Jared Bradley, is the President of M-Vac Systems, which is a wet-vacuum based forensic DNA collection system, and has experience traveling the world training all levels of law enforcement and crime lab DNA analysts in using the M-Vac to help solve crime. Along the way he has met people from all walks of life and experience in investigating crimes, so is putting that knowledge to use in another way by sharing it in these videos.If you are interested in more videos about the M-Vac, DNA and investigations, also check out the M-Vac's channel @https://www.youtube.com/c/MVacSystems...

On December 5, 2013, Ronnie Smith was shot and killed in the Libyan city of Benghazi. Within days, Ronnie's wife, Anita, spoke on national TV in the US about her love for the Libyan people and about forgiving her husband's murderers. She also did interviews—in Arabic—that were broadcast all over the Middle East. Listen to Anita Smith share the story—the story of her grief, but also the story of how God was present in those days, and in the years since. She'll talk about how God inspired her and Ronnie to pursue overseas gospel work—and how they prayed as they moved to Benghazi just months after the US consulate was overrun by Islamist fighters. She'll tell how their neighbors welcomed and adopted them—and about the day she received the terrible phone call that Ronnie had been killed.

One congressional representative said that he actually contemplated and thought about shooting Americans this week. While Adam Kinzinger may be a Republican in title, he is anything but a Republican in action. He made the comments during an interview with Rolling Stone.  Kinzinger was talking about the events of January 6 when he made the statement that he spent 6 hours in his office “hunkered down.” He said that he was contemplating shooting Americans during that time, and that's a problem.  Americans should not live in fear of their congressional representatives. There is absolutely no reason that an American should have to worry about being shot or killed by their own government. But it's sad because we actually have to think that way now.  Our government is responsible for the deaths of people in Benghazi, Afghanistan, and even Ashley Babbit in the Capitol on January 6. To be honest, the Democrats and fake Republicans like Kinzinger are responsible. They have created a situation where Americans have to be concerned their government is out to kill them.  If you are not willing to accept their absolute rule, accept what the Democrats are willing to give you, and tolerate their tyranny, then they just want to eliminate you from society. They have no issue putting up a fence to keep you out, or shooting you.  The American government is by the people and for the people. It seems that this group in Congress needs that reminder from the American people.  Music courtesy of Greg Shields Music. http://www.reverbnation.com/GregShields

Should any witnesses who refuse to appear or produce documents in response to a subpoena from the January 6th committee be held in criminal contempt? Should the Justice Department charge them with criminal contempt? KSL Newsradio's Amanda Dickson asked her guests whether the subpoena power of Congress should have that enforcement power. Her guests this week include Professor Michelle Arnold, professor of physics at Weber State University, singer and songwriter Cherie Call and Robbyn Scriber, Director of Outreach for Rise Next.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

C'est un événement dont tout le monde se souvient... Il y a dix ans, jour pour jour, le colonel Kadhafi était lynché et tué par ses opposants armés, après 42 ans d'une dictature implacable. Où en est la Libye aujourd'hui ? Le clan Kadhafi peut-il revenir au pouvoir à l'occasion de la présidentielle prévue le 24 décembre prochain ? Le professeur Moncef Djaziri, qui enseigne à l'Institut d'études politiques internationales de Lausanne, en Suisse, est notre invité. RFI : Qui va gouverner la Libye après la présidentielle prévue en décembre ? Il y a un certain nombre de favoris, on parle notamment du Premier ministre actuel de Tripoli, Abdel Hamid Dbeibah… Moncef Djaziri : D'abord, on peut se poser la question vraiment, sincèrement, si l'échéance du 24 décembre prochain est une échéance réaliste. Vous savez, la loi électorale n'a pas été publiée encore de manière officielle, on ne sait pas les conditions dans lesquelles vont se dérouler ces élections, les candidats ne sont pas annoncés pour l'élection présidentielle, les listes des candidats pour les élections parlementaires ne sont pas connues… Donc, il y a des doutes concernant le déroulement de ces élections. Maintenant, concernant les chances du Premier ministre Dbeibah, d'abord vous savez qu'il s'était engagé à assurer la période de transition et en aucune manière à se présenter aux élections. Et d'autre part, il est très mal vu. Vous savez qu'il n'a plus de soutien au niveau du Parlement à Benghazi depuis déjà plusieurs semaines et donc, à mon avis, il a très peu de chances d'être élu. Autre candidat potentiel dans l'Ouest de la Libye, l'ancien ministre de l'Intérieur, Fathi Bachagha. On dit que c'est l'homme fort à Tripoli et d'ailleurs à Misrata. C'est surtout à Misrata. Vous savez, il est originaire de Misrata et donc il a, bien sûr, un soutien dans cette ville. Il a également le soutien d'une manière plus large des islamistes, surtout dans la partie Ouest, en Tripolitaine. Mais franchement, il aura très peu de soutien à l'Est, compte tenu de ses engagements passés et compte tenu de sa proximité avec les islamistes. Et dans la mesure où l'influence des tribus, à l'Est, est importante et leur capacité de mobilisation également, je pense que ses chances sont quand même très réduites, en tout cas pour ce qui concerne l'élection présidentielle. Du côté de l'Est, est-ce que le maréchal Khalifa Haftar pourra se présenter et si oui, a-t-il des chances ? D'abord, est-ce qu'il pourra se présenter ? La clause qui interdirait la candidature à un double national – vous savez qu'en l'occurrence Haftar a les nationalités américaine et libyenne – cette clause a disparu. Et donc, il pourrait, de ce point de vue, tout à fait légalement se présenter. Vous savez par ailleurs qu'il est maintenant en disponibilité, c'est-à-dire qu'il a cédé sa place de commandant en chef à un deuxième personnage important de l'armée, à l'Est, et donc il n'est formellement plus à la tête de l'armée libyenne, à l'Est. Et il se montre en civil… Et il se montre également en civil… Maintenant, l'objection principale, c'est que les islamistes ont porté plainte contre lui aux États-Unis pour crime de guerre, crime contre l'humanité. Le Premier ministre pousse la ministre libyenne des Affaires étrangères à déposer formellement une plainte contre lui. Donc la candidature de Haftar est incertaine, mais s'il pouvait se présenter, alors il aurait beaucoup de chances du côté de l'Est et au Sud du pays. À l'Ouest, c'est plus incertain. Donc dans la mesure où les tribus auraient une force de mobilisation importante, c'est peut-être celui qui aurait le plus de chances, en réalité, avec les incertitudes en Tripolitaine et les capacités de résistance des islamistes, qui sont fermement opposés à Haftar. Et toujours à l'Est du pays, quelles seraient les chances du président du Parlement de Tobrouk, Aguilla Saleh ? C'est difficile à dire, parce qu'en fait, c'est un personnage assez controversé, très habile quand même, très manœuvrier… Mais à mon avis, objectivement, il n'a pas énormément de chances. Dix ans après la mort du colonel Kadhafi, est-ce qu'un membre du clan Kadhafi pourrait revenir sur la scène politique ? Il y a des possibilités, pour Saïf al-Islam Kadhafi, de revenir sur la scène politique, mais avec beaucoup de réserves. C'est-à-dire qu'il y a quand même le veto des États-Unis, peut-être aussi de la France, de la Grande-Bretagne, il y a toujours la Cour pénale internationale, qui cherche à le juger… Donc c'est une situation un peu confuse, mais il y a quand même, pour Saïf al-Islam Kadhafi, un soutien de la part d'une grande partie des tribus libyennes – je pense que c'est un fait – et de la part d'une partie de la jeunesse. S'il se présentait à ces élections, il aurait quand même de fortes chances, dans la mesure où on ne peut pas exclure non plus une alliance entre lui et le maréchal Haftar, ça ce n'est pas impossible. Mais il y a le veto américain, il y a la Cour pénale internationale et les islamistes aussi, qui n'en veulent pas, en réalité. Et les milices libyennes dans tout cela ? Eh bien ces milices, une grande partie reste encore armée et constitue une menace, même encore aujourd'hui. Cela, c'est vraiment une des difficultés, parce qu'à supposer que les élections puissent avoir lieu, élections – comme vous savez – que les islamistes ne veulent pas organiser, on peut supposer qu'ils n'accepteraient pas les résultats et, dans cette perspective-là, les milices proches des islamistes pourraient reprendre leurs activités, en tout cas en Tripolitaine. ►À lire aussi : En Libye, une élection présidentielle aussi attendue que crainte

Twenty years ago today, less than a month after 9/11, then-President George W. Bush addressed the nation to announce the US-led invasion of Afghanistan."Good afternoon. On my orders, the United States military has begun strikes against al-Qaeda terrorist training camps and military installations of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan," Bush said.Related: 'Why don't you have mercy?': Afghanistan's Hazara people increasingly face eviction, violence under Taliban ruleFast forward two decades, and this year in August, Afghanistan fell to the Taliban again, followed by an address to the nation by President Joe Biden announcing the end of the war."Our mission in Afghanistan has taking many missteps, made many missteps, over the past two decades," said Biden. "I'm now the fourth American president to preside over war in Afghanistan. Two Democrats and two Republicans. I will not pass this responsibility onto a fifth president."Related: The Afghan government and the US lost popular support over corruption in Afghanistan, investigator general saysNow, Illinois Democratic Senator Tammy Duckworth, herself a veteran, has called for a commission to study the past 20 years of US involvement in Afghanistan. She joined The World's host Marco Werman from Washington to explain what it entails.Marco Werman: You've called your proposal, senator, the Afghanistan War Study Commission. What do you hope it will achieve?Sen. Tammy Duckworth: Well, I hope that it will achieve a comprehensive look at the various errors that have been made by all the different folks involved and gives us the lessons learned so that we don't enter into another quagmire like the one we've been in for 20 years in Afghanistan. We know that the United States will be involved in future conflicts. We need to make sure that we don't get ourselves into a situation where we spend 20 years at war in a country, only to come away and have the people who were in charge when we got there put back in charge when we leave.There have already been a series of lessons learned, reports on the Afghanistan war. How will your committee and investigation be different?Well, the key thing is that I want it to be completely nonpartisan, not bipartisan, but nonpartisan. I've served on bipartisan commissions before. I served on the Benghazi Commission, for example. That was bipartisan, but it was highly political. I want this to be a real, cold-hard facts look. I don't want anybody on a commission that was in any position of decision making or authority during those 20 years. So, not a past secretary of defense who was in charge at the time, not a previous president, not a member of Congress. This needs to be someone who can lead this commission, much like the 9/11 Commission, and bring us the lessons learned, whether it is the legislative branch failing to reauthorize a new authorization for use of military force or presidents choosing to do a troop surge or the corruption, trying to do nation building with the military as opposed to nation building with the State Department. All of the things that led us to where we are today. What we really need to do is make sure that we do this in a systematic way. I think the 9/11 Commission is a great example of the kind of work that can be done. And it must produce actionable recommendations. Like what? What would you see as an actionable recommendation?Well, I think, if you look at contracting, a significant portion of what happened is corruption within the Afghanistan government, within their national security forces. We know about the ghost soldiers in that we paid for the salaries of many, many thousands of so-called Afghan national security forces who never existed, and in fact, were on the books only, and their commanders collected that money. That corruption piece is really important. We certainly need to do an actionable recommendation for Congress [that] would be any type of authorization for use of military force must sunset after three years or must sunset after five years. You must have a new look at a new debate, instead of keeping an old one that lasts 20 years. So, there are things that can be done. You were on the committee that investigated the disaster at the US embassy in Benghazi, Libya, in 2012. That turned out to be a deeply politicized committee. What did you learn from that?Not to make it bipartisan. Make it nonpartisan. Don't let the politicians get involved. And if you watch the Benghazi Commission and watch my questioning, you'll see that I tried really hard to keep my questions and my focus solely on, what are the lessons learned that we never have an ambassador get killed in that way, so that we never have an embassy that's not listening to the intelligence community or is overriding what military leaders are saying, "hey, we should be doing this." It was my experience on the Benghazi Committee that led me to say, "Hey, what this needs is complete independence." I don't want it to be bipartisan, I want it to be nonpartisan, and I don't want anybody that had any skin in the game in terms of they were part of the decision-making process to be part of this of this analysis. It needs to be a cold, hard, independent look, with real actionable recommendations coming out of it. That's how we can best serve the American people with this commission. Senator, when do you think the committee would present its findings? And are you worried that if it takes a few years, a report on what went wrong from 2001 to 2021 might not be must-read material anymore?Well, I think it will be must-read materials. I mean, I'm still looking at lessons learned from the Civil War. You know, when I was an ROTC cadet, they took us to Gettysburg and we reenacted all of the battles and talked about the lessons learned from Gettysburg. In a 21st century army, we were learning about Gettysburg. I think lessons learned here will be relevant for many, many more decades into our nation's future. But what I do want to come out of it is, in addition to the long-term results, I think there will be many-short term findings that we can find out right away. For example, one of the things that we're hearing is that, I've known this, but it's the State Department that calls for the evacuation of civilians on the ground. what's called the noncombatant evacuation operations. The decision to start that is not the DOD [Department of Defense]. It's actually the State Department. So, there are some things that are more short-term lessons learned that we can get the results of in the next months or the first six months, the first 12 months of this commission. Some things are going to take many years for us to get the results for. But I think we're going to see findings and results coming out all along the way, even as the commission continues to work.Finally, you've been a senator since 2017. Prior to that, we must remember you were deployed to Iraq. That was 2004. And then later that year, your Blackhawk helicopter came under attack from an insurgent rocket, a horrific attack that left you a double amputee. How much did your own experience energize a desire to not leave any stones unturned from the last 20 years of war in Afghanistan?My personal experience is the core of who I am. I should have died on that day in Iraq, and my buddies didn't give up on me. And those same buddies later on returned and did more deployments. And that was really at the heart of why I wanted this commission, because our troops, over the last 20 years, many of them have had three, four, five, six, seven, I've heard of 10, 12 deployments. And every time we asked our troops to go overseas and they stand up and they salute, and they say, "Yes, sir," and they packed their rucksacks and they go. And I feel like we, who are here at home, just haven't lived up to the dedication and the sacrifices that these troops made. And one of the things that we can do is to make sure we don't make the same mistakes ever again if there are lessons can be learned. And so, yeah, my experience as a soldier does drive me now, because I feel that I owe my life to the men who saved me. And that means that now that I am in this position as a United States senator, that I'm not going to shirk that duty, so that, you know, my buddies have sons and daughters who are serving. And maybe someday one of my two girls will serve. And I want to make sure that we do right by them. And one of the things we can do is to have a cold, hard look when we make mistakes, learn those lessons and let's not make them again. This interview has been lightly edited and condensed for clarity. 

Today we get to speak with Alec Lace, He's the Host of First Class Fatherhood launched in 2018 with a vision to change the narrative of fatherhood and family life. The show quickly became one of the top parenting podcasts in America due to Alec interviewing some of the most famous fathers in the world including Dean Cain, Deion Sanders, Tony Hawk, and Tom Brady. Because of the show's popularity, Alec was invited to be on the field for the Super Bowl LIII media day in 2019 to interview dads such as Tom Brady, Julian Edelman, and Bill Belichick. Additionally, our nation's heroes hold a special place in Alec's heart, and on his podcast, he has interviewed legendary servicemen such as Navy SEALs Rob O'Neill and Marcus Luttrell, “Black Hawk Down” pilot Mike Durant, Benghazi survivor John Tiegen, and Medal of Honor recipients Ed Byers, Dakota Meyer and Michael Thornton. Alec does all of this while continuing to be a dedicated railroad mechanic, a position he has held for twenty years and he even drives Uber on weekends as a way to further spread his message. First Class Fatherhood can be heard each week on iHeart Radio, Spotify, Pandora, and iTunes. Our Guest Alec Lace LinkedIn : linkedin.com/in/alec-lace-587054177 Hacks to Take Away We talked about the importance of having children and the importance of being a father. Social media has definitely done a lot of damage to the young generation We shared about the balance between a healthy family versus a family that's not so healthy. 90% of the kids that are homeless in this country come from a fatherless home. You need to be secure and straight and happy before you can make anybody else happy. We need to be present, and stay focused, where we're at and give our undivided attention to which one of those three parts that we're at. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hacksandhobbies/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hacksandhobbies/support

In addition to remembering Glen for the patriot he is, the BUBS ethos centers around the passionate and adventure-seeking life that Glen lived. Sean and the BUBS Naturals family further honor “Bub” by donating 10% of all profits to charities that support veterans.   A devoted husband, father, and fitness fanatic, Sean now lives in Encinitas, California, where he can ride his bike to work and still do a quick surf check from the office.   About Glen “BUB” Doherty….   Glen was an adventure seeker, a river guide, skier, Ironman competitor, fitness fanatic, chef, gardener, handyman, and epic storyteller. BUB was a national hero…a Navy SEAL who saved lives, and was always the life of the party. Glen was also the oldest and closest friend of BUBS Co-Founder, Sean Lake. Glen and Sean used to talk about the “fountain of youth” and how to keep exercising and getting after it like they were in their 20's….when they were turning 40! He passed away on September 11, 2012, in Benghazi, Libya.   ---   Are you a Trainer, Coach, or Fitness Business Owner seeking to make even more IMPACT in your business & life?   You are only as good as the people you surround yourself with.

Special Guest: Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely (ret.) on Treason & Afghan Betrayal

Felix Biederman of the hit radio show Chapo Trap House joins us on the road to the other 9/11: Benghazi. We begin our journey discussing the life and horrific death of the esteemed Col. Muammar Gaddafi, how we conned our way into the complete destruction of yet another country in the Middle East, and the various bureaucratic wars that set the stage for Hillary's ultimate downfall in Benghazi.

Men do not die until they are forgotten.www.ShadowWarriorsProject.orgGo to www.TheAndresSegovia.com for more information and show notes.

Does the date of September 11 have any significance in history? Besides the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, and the Benghazi attack in 2012, many battles took place on September 11. Does history give an insight into what motivates terrorists? What response exhibits fear and what response exhibits strength? Historian Bill Federer joins Mornings with Eric and Brigitte on Friday to share some history with us and how our country showed courage and patriotism at desperate times in its history.

In February 2011, the arrest of a human rights lawyer in Libya sparked an uprising against the 42-year dictatorship of Col Muammar Gaddafi. The Revolution spread - supported by foreign airstrikes - and within eight months Gaddafi was killed, his regime overthrown. It was one of the climactic moments of the 'Arab Uprisings'. But what happened afterwards to Libya's Revolution? Ten years on, it is still unfinished. It has brought thousands of deaths, civil war, a strategically vital and oil-rich country still effectively divided in two. BBC reporter Tim Whewell, who covered the 2011 uprising, returns to Libya to find out what went wrong. Tim meets the lawyer Fathi Terbil - the "spark of the revolution", and Iman Bugaighis, spokesperson of the rebel government. Former British foreign secretary William Hague discusses the calculations that led to foreign intervention. Does he still believe the West was right to get involved?

On today's episode, Zach recently sat down with Mark Oz Geist. Mark is a member of the Annex Security Team that fought the Battle of Benghazi, Libya, from September 11 to September 12, 2012. A Colorado native, Mr. Geist joined the United States Marine Corps in 1984. During his time in the service, he served in Barracks Duty in the Philippines, then with the 2nd Battalion 9th Marines Golf Company, as well as the Surveillance and Target Acquisition Platoon. He then was chosen to serve in the newly formed Marine Cadre program as an Anti-/Counter- Terrorism Instructor. Upon the completion of a very successful tour and re-enlistment, Mr. Geist changed his military occupational specialty to the Intelligence field, specializing in Interrogation Translation. He attended language school where he studied Persian Farsi.After serving 12 years in the United States Maine Corps, Mr. Geist became a Deputy Sheriff in Teller County, Colorado. Certified as a Forensic Interviewer of children, he investigated numerous case of abuse in which he helped to secure convictions of the perpetrators. He then took a job as Chief of Police in Fowler, Colorado. After leaving the Fowler Police Department, Mr. Geist began his own business in private investigations as well as bounty hunting and bail bonds.In 2004, Mr. Geist began doing contract security work in Iraq. He worked for Triple Canopy, providing Personal Security Details for Department of State personnel in Baquba, Iraq. Upon the completion of that contract he worked for USIS, the United States Investigative Services, training Iraqi SWAT teams and Personal Security Details. He also served as a mentor/advisor to the Personal Security Detail of Dr. Ayad Allawi, the former Prime Minister of Iraq.Mr. Geist finished his career as a security contractor in Benghazi, Libya, where he was credited with helping to save the lives of more than 25 Americans. Mr. Geist is still recovering from the injuries he sustained in the battle. He is a co-author of the bestselling book 13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi.www.markgeist.comShadow Warriors ProjectThe Shadow Warriors project was created by Mark Oz Geist.We are a foundation that has been formed because of events that have taken place throughout the world where men have so bravely and anonymously offered their own life for the lives and safety of others.Shadow Warriors Project is a foundation dedicated to the support of private military security contractors, conducting paramilitary security operations in some of the world's most dangerous areas. It is the only charity of its kind. Although the private security contractor has served in the military he is considered a civilian and does not receive the same support offered to injured active military or veterans. We are here to serve the private security contractor by offering financial support through heartfelt donations. By easing the load of these injured warriors it allows them to focus on healing, as an individual as well as the family unit.We are here to support those families who are dealing with the financial hardships now facing them by lifting the burden of the load so that these families can focus on healing mind, body, and spirit.The individuals receiving support from the Shadow Warriors Project are special operatives that were hired either through the CIA or via private security companies. These people are in need of assistance because there is no post-engagement support for them on their return to the U.S. like there is for military veterans. These operatives may have been killed or wounded, and our goal is to serve as a support system to them and/or their family. The individual financial assistance will be for medical bills, PTSD treatment, and other family therapies.  shadowwarriorsproject.org

Restoring Common Sense and TRUTH to the public discourse ... this week, Pete and Teresa talk about the disastrous week our country has experienced ...  and Biden is still making it worse!  Democrats screwing up the country is aggravating, but getting our troops needlessly killed is infuriating!!! It's already the worst military fiasco in our history, but Sleepy Joe has NO solutions!!! plus, Beijing Biden is doubling down on his abject failure! The Afghanistan travesty is the worst combination of the fall of Saigon, the Iran hostage crisis, and the betrayal in Benghazi!!! Americans did NOT vote for this idiot and his incompetence!  Biden MUST RESIGN NOW!!!

In this episode, Dinesh reveals the magnitude of Biden's disaster, worse than Carter's hostage crisis, worse than Benghazi, and asks whether it is time for a serious discussion of impeachment. Dinesh shows why the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Biden's immigration policy is firmly anchored in the clear language of federal law. In a conversation with Tim Barton of Wall Builders, Dinesh explores how religious the founders truly were. And Dinesh solves an age-old conundrum: Can God make a stone so heavy that even He can't lift it? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pete starts the show talking about the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan and said that it's a disaster. In the next segment, a caller says if no one was held responsible for the Benghazi attack - what chance is there that Joe Biden is going to take blame for the mishandling of Afghanistan. Pete returns from break to talk about the first seven months of the Biden administration have not looked great. Pete mentions to those concerned about the influx of people being rescued from Afghanistan that they do not necessarily have to be brought back to the United States for safety - there are other countries that could harbor them. Pete wraps the hour talking about who will fill the void of being the "World Police" if the United States backs off from involving themselves in national problems around the world. To start the 1pm hour, a caller blames this younger generation in pressuring Biden to pull troops out of Afghanistan the same way the Vietnam War ended. Pete then talks about Joe Biden's arrival at the White House and what we might hear from Biden this afternoon. Pete takes calls the rest of the hour. To start the 2pm hour, Pete talks about the poor timing of Biden's pullout of Afghanistan. To wrap the show, we listen in to the Mecklenburg County Press Conference in which we learned that mask mandates are returning to the county starting this week on Wednesday.  Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/petekalinershow See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

By early 2011, Libya is changing. The Arab Spring has started and leaders across North Africa and the Middle East are already succumbing to people power. The Gaddafi regime suddenly needs to tread very carefully indeed. A young lawyer from Benghazi organises a protest that will soon spread like wildfire. Before long, it will become something else entirely: a full-blown rebellion against Colonel Gaddafi's rule. The man who has dominated Libya for four decades will become a fugitive, soon to meet one of the grisliest ends of any dictator in history. Learn more about your ad choices.
