President Trump - Presidential Address to the Nation on Afghanistan Terrorists take heed -  America will never let up until you are dealt a lasting defeat. 0 - 00 The President -  Vice President Pence, 0 - 03 Secretary of State Tillerson, 0 - 05 members of the Cabinet, General Dunford, 0 - 10 Deputy Secretary Shanahan, 0 - 13 and Colonel Duggan. 0 - 16 Most especially, thank you to the men 0 - 20 and women of Fort Myer 0 - 22 and every member of the United States 0 - 24 military at home and abroad. 0 - 28 We send our thoughts and prayers 0 - 30 to the families of our brave sailors 0 - 33 who were injured and lost 0 - 34 after a tragic collision at sea, 0 - 37 as well as to those conducting 0 - 39 the search and recovery efforts. 0 - 43 I am here tonight to lay out our path forward 0 - 45 in Afghanistan and South Asia. 0 - 50 But before I provide the details 0 - 52 of our new strategy, 0 - 54 I want to say a few words 0 - 55 to the servicemembers here with us tonight, 0 - 59 to those watching from their posts, 1 - 02 and to all Americans listening at home. 1 - 08 Since the founding of our republic, 1 - 09 our country has produced a special class of heroes 1 - 14 whose selflessness, courage, 1 - 17 and resolve is unmatched in human history. 1 - 21 American patriots from every generation 1 - 24 have given their last breath on the battlefield 1 - 28 for our nation 1 - 30 and for our freedom. 1 - 33 Through their lives -- 1 - 36 and though their lives were cut short, 1 - 40 in their deeds they achieved 1 - 42 total immortality. 1 - 45 By following the heroic example of those 1 - 49 who fought to preserve our republic, 1 - 52 we can find the inspiration 1 - 54 our country needs to unify, to heal, 1 - 58 and to remain one nation under God. 2 - 04 The men and women of our military operate 2 - 07 as one team, 2 - 09 with one shared mission, 2 - 11 and one shared sense of purpose. 2 - 15 They transcend every line of race, 2 - 19 ethnicity, creed, 2 - 20 and color to serve together -- 2 - 22 and sacrifice together -- 2 - 25 in absolutely perfect cohesion. 2 - 29 That is because all servicemembers 2 - 32 are brothers and sisters. 2 - 36 They're all part of the same family; 2 - 40 it's called the American family. 2 - 43 They take the same oath, fight for the same flag, 2 - 48 and live according to the same law. 2 - 53 They are bound together by common purpose, 2 - 56 mutual trust, 2 - 57 and selfless devotion to our nation 3 - 00 and to each other. 3 - 02 The soldier understands what we, as a nation, 3 - 06 too often forget that a wound 3 - 09 inflicted upon a single member of our community 3 - 14 is a wound inflicted upon us all. 3 - 19 When one part of America hurts, we all hurt. 3 - 25 And when one citizen suffers an injustice, 3 - 28 we all suffer together. 3 - 32 Loyalty to our nation demands loyalty 3 - 35 to one another. 3 - 37 Love for America 3 - 38 requires love for all of its people. 3 - 43 When we open our hearts to patriotism, 3 - 46 there is no room for prejudice, 3 - 49 no place for bigotry, 3 - 51 and no tolerance for hate. 3 - 55 The young men and women we send to fight our wars abroad 4 - 00 deserve to return to a country 4 - 02 that is not at war with itself at home. 4 - 07 We cannot remain a force for peace in the world 4 - 11 if we are not at peace with each other. 4 - 15 As we send our bravest 4 - 16 to defeat our enemies overseas -- 4 - 19 and we will always win -- 4 - 21 let us find the courage 4 - 23 to heal our divisions within. 4 - 27 Let us make a simple promise to the men 4 - 29 and women we ask to fight in our name that, 4 - 32 when they return home from battle, 4 - 35 they will find a country 4 - 37 that has renewed 4 - 39 the sacred bonds of love and loyalty 4 - 42 that unite us together as one. 4 - 45 Thanks to the vigilance and skill 4 - 48 of the American military 4 - 50 and of our many allies throughout the world, 4 - 54 horrors on the scale of September 11th -- 4 - 59 and nobody can ever forget that -- 5 - 02 have not been repeated on our shores. 5 - 06 But we must also acknowledge 5 - 08 the reality I am here to talk about tonight - 5 - 11 that nearly 16 years after September 11th attacks, 5 - 15 after the extraordinary sacrifice of blood and treasure, 5 - 20 the American people are weary of war 5 - 25 without victory. 5 - 28 Nowhere is this more evident 5 - 30 than with the war in Afghanistan, 5 - 32 the longest war in American history -- 5 - 36 17 years. 5 - 38 I share the American people s frustration. 5 - 42 I also share their frustration 5 - 46 over a foreign policy 5 - 47 that has spent too much time, energy, money, 5 - 51 and most importantly lives, 5 - 53 trying to rebuild countries 5 - 55 in our own image, 5 - 57 instead of pursuing our security interests 6 - 00 above all other considerations. 6 - 04 That is why, shortly after my inauguration, 6 - 09 I directed Secretary of Defense Mattis 6 - 12 and my national security team 6 - 15 to undertake a comprehensive review 6 - 18 of all strategic options in Afghanistan 6 - 21 and South Asia. 6 - 24 My original instinct was to pull out -- 6 - 29 and, historically, I like following my instincts. 6 - 34 But all my life I've heard 6 - 36 that decisions are much different 6 - 39 when you sit behind the desk in the Oval Office; 6 - 43 in other words, 6 - 44 when you're President of the United States. 6 - 48 So I studied Afghanistan in great detail 6 - 51 and from every conceivable angle. 6 - 55 After many meetings, over many months, 6 - 59 we held our final meeting last Friday 7 - 02 at Camp David, 7 - 03 with my Cabinet and generals, 7 - 06 to complete our strategy. 7 - 10 I arrived at three fundamental conclusions 7 - 12 about America s core interests in Afghanistan. 7 - 16 First, our nation must seek an honorable 7 - 20 and enduring outcome 7 - 22 worthy of the tremendous sacrifices 7 - 25 that have been made, 7 - 27 especially the sacrifices of lives. 7 - 32 The men and women who serve our nation 7 - 34 in combat deserve a plan for victory. 7 - 38 They deserve the tools they need, 7 - 40 and the trust they have earned, 7 - 43 to fight and to win. 7 - 45 Second, the consequences of a rapid exit 7 - 50 are both predictable and unacceptable. 7 - 55 9/11, the worst terrorist attack in our history, 7 - 59 was planned and directed from Afghanistan 8 - 03 because that country was ruled by a government 8 - 07 that gave comfort and shelter to terrorists. 8 - 11 A hasty withdrawal would create a vacuum 8 - 15 that terrorists, 8 - 16 including ISIS and al Qaeda, 8 - 19 would instantly fill, 8 - 21 just as happened before September 11th. 8 - 26 And, as we know, in 2011, 8 - 30 America hastily 8 - 33 and mistakenly withdrew from Iraq. 8 - 38 As a result, our hard-won gains slipped back 8 - 42 into the hands of terrorist enemies. 8 - 46 Our soldiers watched as cities 8 - 48 they had fought for, 8 - 49 and bled to liberate, and won, were occupied 8 - 53 by a terrorist group called ISIS. 8 - 57 The vacuum we created by leaving too soon 8 - 59 gave safe haven for ISIS to spread, 9 - 02 to grow, recruit, and launch attacks. 9 - 07 We cannot repeat in Afghanistan the mistake 9 - 11 our leaders made in Iraq. 9 - 15 Third and finally, I concluded 9 - 18 that the security threats 9 - 19 we face in Afghanistan 9 - 21 and the broader region are immense. 9 - 25 Today, 20 U.S.-designated 9 - 28 foreign terrorist organizations 9 - 31 are active in Afghanistan and Pakistan -- 9 - 34 the highest concentration in any region 9 - 39 anywhere in the world. 9 - 41 For its part, 9 - 42 Pakistan often gives safe haven to agents of chaos, 9 - 49 violence, and terror. 9 - 52 The threat is worse because 9 - 53 Pakistan and India 9 - 55 are two nuclear-armed states 9 - 58 whose tense relations 9 - 59 threaten to spiral into conflict. 10 - 03 And that could happen. 10 - 05 No one denies that we have inherited 10 - 07 a challenging and troubling situation 10 - 10 in Afghanistan and South Asia, 10 - 13 but we do not have the luxury 10 - 15 of going back in time 10 - 17 and making different or better decisions. 10 - 20 When I became President, 10 - 22 I was given a bad and very complex hand, 10 - 26 but I fully knew what I was getting into - 10 - 28 big and intricate problems. 10 - 31 But, one way or another, 10 - 32 these problems will be solved -- 10 - 35 I'm a problem solver -- 10 - 37 and, in the end, we will win. 10 - 41 We must address the reality of the world 10 - 44 as it exists right now -- the threats we face, 10 - 49 and the confronting of all of the problems 10 - 52 of today, 10 - 54 and extremely predictable consequences 10 - 58 of a hasty withdrawal. 11 - 01 We need look no further than last week's vile, 11 - 04 vicious attack in Barcelona to understand 11 - 09 that terror groups will stop at nothing to commit 11 - 13 the mass murder of innocent men, 11 - 17 women and children. 11 - 19 You saw it for yourself. 11 - 21 Horrible. 11 - 23 As I outlined in my speech 11 - 25 in Saudi Arabia three months ago, 11 - 27 America and our partners are committed 11 - 30 to stripping terrorists of their territory, 11 - 33 cutting off their funding, 11 - 35 and exposing the false allure 11 - 37 of their evil ideology. 11 - 41 Terrorists who slaughter innocent people 11 - 43 will find no glory in this life or the next. 11 - 49 They are nothing but thugs, 11 - 50 and criminals, and predators, 11 - 52 and -- that's right -- losers. 11 - 56 Working alongside our allies, 11 - 58 we will break their will, dry up their recruitment, 12 - 02 keep them from crossing our borders, 12 - 04 and yes, we will defeat them, 12 - 07 and we will defeat them handily. 12 - 10 In Afghanistan and Pakistan, 12 - 12 America's interests are clear - 12 - 15 We must stop the resurgence of safe havens 12 - 19 that enable terrorists to threaten America, 12 - 22 and we must prevent nuclear weapons and materials 12 - 25 from coming into the hands of terrorists 12 - 28 and being used against us, 12 - 30 or anywhere in the world for that matter. 12 - 34 But to prosecute this war, 12 - 37 we will learn from history. 12 - 39 As a result of our comprehensive review, 12 - 42 American strategy in Afghanistan 12 - 44 and South Asia 12 - 45 will change dramatically in the following ways - 12 - 50 A core pillar of our new strategy 12 - 53 is a shift from a time-based approach 12 - 57 to one based on conditions. 13 - 00 I've said it many times 13 - 02 how counterproductive it is 13 - 03 for the United States to announce in advance 13 - 06 the dates we intend to begin, 13 - 08 or end, military options. 13 - 11 We will not talk about numbers of troops 13 - 15 or our plans for further military activities. 13 - 19 Conditions on the ground -- 13 - 21 not arbitrary timetables -- 13 - 24 will guide our strategy from now on. 13 - 28 America's enemies must never know our plans 13 - 31 or believe they can wait us out. 13 - 34 I will not say when we are going to attack, 13 - 38 but attack we will. 13 - 41 Another fundamental pillar 13 - 43 of our new strategy 13 - 45 is the integration of all instruments 13 - 47 of American power -- 13 - 49 diplomatic, economic, and military -- 13 - 53 toward a successful outcome. 13 - 56 Someday, after an effective 13 - 58 military effort, 14 - 00 perhaps it will be possible 14 - 01 to have a political settlement 14 - 03 that includes elements 14 - 04 of the Taliban in Afghanistan, 14 - 07 but nobody knows if or when 14 - 10 that will ever happen. 14 - 12 America will continue its support 14 - 15 for the Afghan government 14 - 17 and the Afghan military 14 - 19 as they confront the Taliban 14 - 22 in the field. 14 - 23 Ultimately, it is up to the people of Afghanistan 14 - 26 to take ownership of their future, 14 - 28 to govern their society, 14 - 31 and to achieve an everlasting peace. 14 - 35 We are a partner and a friend, 14 - 37 but we will not dictate to the Afghan people 14 - 40 how to live, 14 - 41 or how to govern their own complex society. 14 - 45 We are not nation-building again. 14 - 48 We are killing terrorists. 14 - 51 The next pillar of our new strategy 14 - 54 is to change the approach 14 - 57 and how to deal with Pakistan. 15 - 01 We can no longer be silent about 15 - 03 Pakistan's safe havens 15 - 04 for terrorist organizations, 15 - 07 the Taliban, and other groups 15 - 09 that pose a threat to the region and beyond. 15 - 13 Pakistan has much to gain 15 - 15 from partnering 15 - 16 with our effort in Afghanistan. 15 - 19 It has much to lose by continuing 15 - 22 to harbor criminals and terrorists. 15 - 26 In the past, Pakistan has been a valued partner. 15 - 30 Our militaries have worked together 15 - 32 against common enemies. 15 - 34 The Pakistani people have suffered greatly 15 - 37 from terrorism and extremism. 15 - 40 We recognize those contributions 15 - 43 and those sacrifices. 15 - 45 But Pakistan has also sheltered the same 15 - 48 organizations 15 - 49 that try every single day to kill our people. 15 - 54 We have been paying Pakistan billions 15 - 58 and billions of dollars at the same time 16 - 01 they are housing the very terrorists 16 - 04 that we are fighting. 16 - 06 But that will have to change, 16 - 09 and that will change immediately. 16 - 11 No partnership can survive a country's 16 - 14 harboring of militants 16 - 15 and terrorists who target 16 - 16 U.S. servicemembers and officials. 16 - 19 It is time for Pakistan 16 - 21 to demonstrate its commitment 16 - 23 to civilization, order, and to peace. 16 - 27 Another critical part of the South Asia 16 - 30 strategy for America 16 - 32 is to further develop 16 - 33 its strategic partnership with India -- 16 - 36 the world's largest democracy 16 - 39 and a key security 16 - 40 and economic partner of the United States. 16 - 43 We appreciate India's important contributions 16 - 47 to stability in Afghanistan, 16 - 49 but India makes billions of dollars 16 - 52 in trade with the United States, 16 - 54 and we want them to help us more with Afghanistan, 16 - 58 especially in the area 17 - 00 of economic assistance 17 - 02 and development. 17 - 04 We are committed to pursuing 17 - 05 our shared objectives 17 - 07 for peace and security in South Asia 17 - 10 and the broader Indo-Pacific region. 17 - 13 Finally, my administration 17 - 15 will ensure that you, 17 - 17 the brave defenders of the American people, 17 - 21 will have the necessary tools 17 - 23 and rules of engagement 17 - 24 to make this strategy work, 17 - 26 and work effectively and work quickly. 17 - 29 I have already lifted restrictions 17 - 31 the previous administration 17 - 33 placed on our warfighters 17 - 36 that prevented the Secretary of Defense 17 - 38 and our commanders in the field from fully 17 - 41 and swiftly waging battle against the enemy. 17 - 46 Micromanagement from Washington, D.C. 17 - 48 does not win battles. 17 - 51 They are won in the field drawing upon the judgment 17 - 54 and expertise of wartime commanders 17 - 58 and frontline soldiers 18 - 01 acting in real time, with real authority, 18 - 04 and with a clear mission to defeat the enemy. 18 - 09 That's why we will also expand authority 18 - 12 for American armed forces 18 - 14 to target the terrorist and criminal networks 18 - 17 that sow violence 18 - 18 and chaos throughout Afghanistan. 18 - 22 These killers need to know 18 - 24 they have nowhere to hide; 18 - 25 that no place is beyond the reach of American 18 - 29 might and Americans arms. 18 - 31 Retribution will be fast and powerful. 18 - 36 As we lift restrictions 18 - 37 and expand authorities in the field, 18 - 40 we are already seeing dramatic results 18 - 42 in the campaign to defeat ISIS, 18 - 45 including the liberation of Mosul in Iraq. 18 - 49 Since my inauguration, 18 - 50 we have achieved record-breaking 18 - 53 success in that regard. 18 - 55 We will also maximize sanctions 18 - 58 and other financial and law enforcement actions 19 - 01 against these networks 19 - 02 to eliminate their ability to export terror. 19 - 07 When America commits its warriors to battle, 19 - 10 we must ensure they have every weapon to apply 19 - 13 swift, decisive, 19 - 15 and overwhelming force. 19 - 18 Our troops will fight to win. 19 - 21 We will fight to win. 19 - 24 From now on, victory will have a clear definition - 19 - 29 attacking our enemies, obliterating ISIS, 19 - 32 crushing al Qaeda, 19 - 34 preventing the Taliban 19 - 35 from taking over Afghanistan, 19 - 38 and stopping mass terror attacks against America 19 - 41 before they emerge. 19 - 43 We will ask our NATO allies 19 - 45 and global partners 19 - 46 to support our new strategy 19 - 48 with additional troop 19 - 49 and funding increases in line with our own. 19 - 53 We are confident they will. 19 - 55 Since taking office, I have made clear 19 - 58 that our allies and partners 19 - 59 must contribute much more money 20 - 03 to our collective defense, 20 - 06 and they have done so. 20 - 09 In this struggle, 20 - 11 the heaviest burden will continue to be borne 20 - 14 by the good people of Afghanistan 20 - 16 and their courageous armed forces. 20 - 19 As the prime minister of Afghanistan has promised, 20 - 23 we are going to participate 20 - 25 in economic development 20 - 27 to help defray the cost of this war to us. 20 - 32 Afghanistan is fighting to defend 20 - 35 and secure their country 20 - 36 against the same enemies who threaten us. 20 - 39 The stronger the Afghan security forces become, 20 - 42 the less we will have to do. 20 - 45 Afghans will secure and build their own nation 20 - 49 and define their own future. 20 - 52 We want them to succeed. 20 - 54 But we will no longer use American military 20 - 57 might to construct democracies 20 - 59 in faraway lands, 21 - 01 or try to rebuild other countries 21 - 03 in our own image. 21 - 04 Those days are now over. 21 - 07 Instead, we will work with allies and partners 21 - 10 to protect our shared interests. 21 - 12 We are not asking others 21 - 14 to change their way of life, 21 - 16 but to pursue common goals 21 - 17 that allow our children 21 - 19 to live better and safer lives. 21 - 22 This principled realism 21 - 24 will guide our decisions moving forward. 21 - 27 Military power alone will not bring peace 21 - 30 to Afghanistan 21 - 31 or stop the terrorist threat 21 - 33 arising in that country. 21 - 35 But strategically applied force 21 - 37 aims to create the conditions 21 - 39 for a political process 21 - 41 to achieve a lasting peace. 21 - 44 America will work with the Afghan government 21 - 48 as long as we see determination 21 - 51 and progress. 21 - 53 However, our commitment is not unlimited, 21 - 56 and our support is not a blank check. 22 - 01 The government of Afghanistan 22 - 03 must carry their share 22 - 06 of the military, 22 - 07 political, and economic burden. 22 - 11 The American people expect to see 22 - 12 real reforms, 22 - 14 real progress, and real results. 22 - 17 Our patience is not unlimited. 22 - 21 We will keep our eyes wide open. 22 - 24 In abiding by the oath I took on January 20th, 22 - 27 I will remain steadfast in protecting American lives 22 - 31 and American interests. 22 - 34 In this effort, we will make common cause 22 - 38 with any nation 22 - 39 that chooses to stand and fight alongside us 22 - 42 against this global threat. 22 - 45 Terrorists take heed -  America will never let up 22 - 49 until you are dealt a lasting defeat. 22 - 53 Under my administration, many billions of dollars 22 - 56 more is being spent on our military. 22 - 59 And this includes vast amounts being spent 23 - 02 on our nuclear arsenal and missile defense. 23 - 06 In every generation, we have faced down evil, 23 - 09 and we have always prevailed. 23 - 13 We prevailed because we know who we are 23 - 17 and what we are fighting for. 23 - 19 Not far from where we are gathered tonight, 23 - 22 hundreds of thousands 23 - 23 of America's greatest patriots 23 - 25 lay in eternal rest 23 - 28 at Arlington National Cemetery. 23 - 32 There is more courage, sacrifice, 23 - 35 and love in those hallowed grounds 23 - 39 than in any other spot on the face of the Earth. 23 - 44 Many of those who have fought and died 23 - 46 in Afghanistan enlisted in the months 23 - 49 after September 11th, 2001. 23 - 53 They volunteered for a simple reason - 23 - 56 They loved America, 23 - 57 and they were determined to protect her. 24 - 01 Now we must secure the cause 24 - 02 for which they gave their lives. 24 - 05 We must unite to defend America 24 - 08 from its enemies abroad. 24 - 10 We must restore the bonds of loyalty 24 - 13 among our citizens at home, 24 - 16 and we must achieve an honorable 24 - 19 and enduring outcome 24 - 21 worthy of the enormous price 24 - 24 that so many have paid. 24 - 26 Our actions, and in the months to come, 24 - 29 all of them will honor 24 - 31 the sacrifice 24 - 32 of every fallen hero, 24 - 35 every family who lost a loved one, 24 - 37 and every wounded warrior who shed their blood 24 - 40 in defense of our great nation. 24 - 44 With our resolve, we will ensure that your service 24 - 49 and that your families 24 - 51 will bring about the defeat of our enemies 24 - 54 and the arrival of peace. 24 - 57 We will push onward to victory with power 25 - 00 in our hearts, 25 - 01 courage in our souls, 25 - 03 and everlasting pride in each 25 - 06 and every one of you. 25 - 09 Thank you. May God bless our military. 25 - 14 And may God bless the United States of America. 25 - 18 Thank you very much, thank you.  

Lee Stranahan and guest host Mike Hersh talk about President Trump's verbal assault on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell after McConnell bashed the President. Will this GOP infighting stop Trump's agenda, or is it blowing off steam during the August recess?In Round two, Mike and Lee discuss the situation in North Korea as Pyongyang announces it is making plans to launch missiles at Guam. Meanwhile, members of the Trump administration like Secretary of State Tillerson are sending a different message than the president.In Round three, the establishment media's greatest tool for inflicting public opinion is simply burying stories that don't fit the narrative. Mike and Lee each pick a story they think is being buried by the media... and the results may surprise you.

---Go Premium! Support the Show! Unlock Bonus Episodes! Earn Rewards! --- Over the past several months, North Korea has engaged in a series of provocative nuclear and missile tests. It conducted nuclear tests in January and then September of last year along with several ballistic missile tests. And in 2017 alone there have been no less than 5 missile launches, most recently on March 6, when North Korea launched four missiles which landed off the coast of Japan.  Meanwhile, later in March Secretary of State Tillerson traveled to the region, in his first big foray into the vexing regional diplomacy that so far has failed to stop North Korea from advancing its nuclear weapons programs. And while visiting the region, Tillerson promised to end the Obama-era strategy of strategic patience,  but has not yet articulated what kinds of policies would take its place.    On the line with me to discuss the North Korea nuclear issue is Kelsey Davenport, who is the director for non-proliferation policy at the Arms Control Association. She discusses the strategic implications of the specific technologies that North Korea is testing, that is, why Pyongyang is conducting these kinds of tests. She also describes the policy options in the table for the Trump administration as is tries to confront North Korea's nuclear ambitions. And i must say, this conversation was very helpful to me personally and I suspect you'll learn a lot from it as well.

I'm not joking. If you're looking for the "American Dream," (the joy of owning your home and the idea that your children will do better than you) your odds are far better in Canada than they are here in America. According to a new study from the St. Louis Fed if you start in the bottom 1/5 of society you are twice as likely to end up in the top 1/5 if you live in Canada rather than the U.S. Many would say we have a wealth inequality problem, but that has nothing to do with it. It's a question of focus. America chooses to focus on inequality rather than mobility and ends up with greater inequality and less mobility. It's something that has to change if we want America to be the Land of Opportunity again.***I'm also going to talk a little foreign policy. Secretary of State Tillerson has announced a much tougher line with North Korea as we move one step closer to war. In reading the article, it reminded me of an email I received from a 10th grader who listens to the show. He was asking me about World War II, and I think his question has parallels with our situation today. Lots of great stuff in today's episode including a video of Nancy Pelosi making a fool of herself...again. Enjoy, and don't forget to subscribe!Support the show.
