clear war by making the russia hoax go forward. it's it. and the americans are just moving on. well, that house is actually going to get us into a reward. exactly. that's what's happened twice. and it was all a hoax component. yeah. and we violated all kinds of agreements in, in, in terms of, in the visibility of, with, with allies. you don't are in terms of indivisibility, you don't are in the, the west at the expense of the east. we did just the opposite by moving natal going hey, hang on to that thought my cause. i want to go back to august 2021. the official end of the afghan war, the withdrawal to be exact. so the whole world and saw what can only be described in the most polite terms of botched right. bite and blame. trump say it was because trump already tipped that 1st domino back in 2020. so mike, is that a fair accusation of him to blame his predecessors for this? or does the buck just flat out? it stops it's, it stops with bite. and because he just pulled them out the bite,

trump had conditions for for withdrawals. those conditions were not being met. if trump were still present today, i don't think we'd be out of afghanistan. yeah, that's right. exactly. that's exactly. well, i don't think we'd be up. no, of course not. and. and, and, and also by when he was vice president had actually recommended that we not do a search in the afghanistan. he won a troops out of there during the obama administration. so he has a history of just a band and a like that. and the way he did it is it is a disaster and, and, and it, and it speaks volumes to his lack of leadership in this, in this country and out and, and other adversaries have picked up one. but say it differently. we were losing a war in afghanistan, we were losing, i mean we, we, we probably should have stayed about half as long as we did, maybe less and done something a lot differently under october of 2001. exactly. and so now we're trying to pull

out of a disaster situation. there is no good way to do that, but what trump knew was the only way to do it was with condition sufficient that you try to hold down the trouble. and i agree with you. you would have drag it out, trump would've never wanted to be. he probably wouldn't drag it out until the day after he got out of office from the 2nd term and said, i didn't lose the war. it was this guy. but i don't know what i can solve this. the problem button saw the polls, but i just felt the pressure and he said, get them out. yeah. and they pulled them out and we lost lives. yeah. and it's forget the billions of dollars we lose millions of dollars every day. i hate, i'm just being funny about it or teasing but, but we lost lives because biden was not a political animal. he was a novice leader that was a novice leader. move to jerk, yanked them out like that and everybody knows it around who pulls up the military before you move about your move out of other americans or your allies. we have the minutes, right? yeah, well the equipment at as, as it points out is, is secondary, but it was worth $85000000000.00, but still a lot, but the,

it's the lives that are yeah, that are now have now been effective. that's why nobody can agree to have agreements with the united states, the other party we don't, we don't live up to our agreement, 0, credibility, 0 and ability. if you're that battle leader. yeah. and that's what we're dealing with around the long term. and when we got you button saying, i'm not going to send up sixteens, i will send up sixteens that might send up sixty's. i'll let you send that succeeds, right? it's showing coherent that the what the kind of what the world knows is america is not only inconsistent. we look week last week. well, i think what the bottom line is that democrats think that they're going to win. yep . regardless of what they want as power. and control, and all that they care about is winning and, and they'll work up devious ways to do that. and as unfortunately they have weaponized, the law enforcement agencies here. you can't trust our own is the issue is any longer. and that's undermining

a miracle that brings me to my next question. let's move over to some more domestic stuff. decisions taken under biden's goddess, for example, lessons learned from the late r b g right? dems didn't wait for justice steven prior to allegedly or maybe not just he just declared that it's time to hang up the role. but we don't know what happened behind the scenes either way. why didn't announced his search for a replacement and said specifically that he was looking for a black woman? yes, i feel adjusted briars bench seat. he nominated cassandra brown jackson. mm hm. so, and do you think he did her in this service? 5 person announcing, of course, he was looking for a certain race and a certain gender course. imagine being an african american who works hard and succeeds and then having something like by domain you by saying i'm only picking you because if it a category it's, it's the worst, you know, the, the racist of the to buy and then trump is buying. he acts like a racist, his policy is a racist,

is really despicable in his actions. i don't know his heart, but here's the thing. and michael said to him about tearing the country a part, you know, the problems we have in this country, upward mobility trapped in urban schools. there's a racial component. i'm the 1st to say that systemic racism exists and it's the name of it is the teacher's union. it's a school teacher unions are racist, but we have problems when joe biden stands up there and says, white supremacy is the problem. all he's doing is taking the worst of really of our angels and trying to make us crazy and, and it really is, it's despicable behavior. by the way, let me say something else about this. you brought this up. i thought you're going this direction when you have a concerted effort. the us attorney for the district can be a major problem. a guy is doing all the january 6 cases. his wife makes about a half a $1000000.00 a year to head up the national women's law center. she stands in front of the supreme court and says, clarence thomas is corrupt in the world. are we supposed to have these people be ethically, morally, anything else? and under the bar do this, and yet that's what they're doing and why?

because they want to intimidate clarence thomas. and, and here's the thing, course thomas is, is, is a tough, you know, a tough, old fighter. i don't think you'd get them off the court until you will them out. but you know, who might cabinet and his wife might say, this is a after 10 years. it might say, i'll quit at 75 instead of staying onto. i'm not this that the left right now is vicious in what the other still people in front of cabinet was house that came with zip ties. yeah, i'll take down his daughter's, there's still there, protesting people are protesting today, right now they're not arrested because it's too harsh to arrest people. again, there's one man, dividing this country's names, biden's. he's been used by the left, but it's very, very disturbing and pedagogy, jackson and others are a do it or this served by him. me at final thoughts on that like before we take a break. now i concur with the eds analysis. i mean, when you pre determined who's going to be rather than the best qualified you're building in a racist tone, and that's what the work group want that is there. montrose,

everything is racist. i mean, you, you and if you, if you disagree, i remembered during the obama administration, if you disagree with them on the policy racist. yeah, that was the response. and that now it's, it's gotten, it's carried over to the man, make one comment, the congressman ship out them. ship is running against barbara leah. congress. i'm a cheese, black black hole and he wants a diet find sign feet. no, i know, but that's what i already know. so she said she's resigning. yeah. so find things resigning barbara. lisa black woman who's supposedly i think we're supposed to like black women, new dive into some instead. if fine, she retires, she will, he will find a black woman. adam ship is a racist. he's a racist because he won't let the black woman have the spot. that's the game we're playing. we're supposed to play this back. and by the way, nancy pelosi is daughter, is standing next to die and finds team every day and all around the capital right now, trying to hang on because it shifts can't have her replaced by a black woman so we can rot. honestly, the hypocrisy is not that interested because it's so common,

but they are really divided in the country. it's terrible. all right, hold it right there. we got a pause. lots more to discuss. obviously, coming up next. biden is pulling low, but his defense budget is the highest ever. we'll discuss it when we return with our panel. guess mike maloof ad martin. sit tight demo. we'll be right back. the the the, the the,

the welcome back to the m. o. i manila chan in studio with me, some of my favorite panelists ever former pentagon official, mike maloof and new york times best selling author, president of beach, likely eagles, mr. ed martin. so mike, i'm going to go this way to you 1st. before we went to break. i mentioned the pentagon budget uh f. y 2024. the request is hovering at about $842000000000.00. now i've seen analysts say that this is still $40000000000.00 short. i mean, i guess that's if we're operating on some sort of a wish list here. what do you make of this coming pencil gone? budget requests, given that fiscal year 2020 three's was already the highest on record. i mean this cannot be a good look for biting. going into the election gonna it's, it's not. but if, if i want to put on my cynical hat, i would say that if you want to, if you want, you want to confront,

if you want to do, you have a 3 front war, it's very under budget. i know we got ukraine. we've got, we got now we want to do taiwan, go out to china. oh yeah, let's go ahead and, and, and, and over, throw moscow. you know, i mean, moscow got that. i mean, we have 12 carrier, a task force is out there and you got to support them all, not to mention the 800 bases that are around and they're turning multi 10, but then people have got to live. the family is gotta be moved around. we are over extended, our budget as high as it is, is, is, is not really too high. but the chinese budget's only half of that, and the russian budget defense budget is half of that. so, i mean, this is what we're dealing with and the question is why, what, what are we trying to do? i mean, are we, are we dealing with a new cons one in terms of trying to extend democracy me by any means necessary. i . e military might,

that's what we've been displaying there in the war that this country doesn't like any longer. we, we've been at war for 22 years, quite else, and there is no end in sight. so where's the next outbreak going to be? so we were, you were pivoting e squared and we're looking at china and taiwan. and this a, this is very, very, this unsettling, particularly if iran in the middle east blow up and, and, and then, and then we have a forefront more. yeah, that's none of that sounds very good now as we're speaking of money here. yeah. um the us economy. is it looking too good vitals number wizards, i guess we can call them that keeps showing us these spikes upward right on the chart. but that's dishonest because we were in this call that economic crash the last few years. how do you think fighting has done so far in handling the economy, the jobs this, these kitchen table stuff that voters really talk about? well, one thing is like every administration but especially almost on steroids,

that they're lying about, the numbers, right. they, they announce the numbers. i think it was april numbers. they said, oh, they outperformed. and then by the time the main numbers came, they had to redo them and they under perform right. and they just lie lying. and they, by the way, they know those things. they know they, there's a lag on it and it's all known. so they're all lying and of course he says, oh, well, it's one thing for the administration. like, where's the media that should it should be a pulitzer prize or anything to say look at other lives control by the bottom. exactly. right. so that and so, and, you know, i, i keep quoting and i'm not sure it's right. george carlin said, you don't have to have a meeting to have a conspiracy. you just have to know what to do. and that's right. and that's what these people, the media is doing on the economy. i want to point out something, i think it's very important that the fundamentals are off. right. but normal people that have kids and buy bacon, i was talking about my bank and i buy thing a bank and they used to be 1399. it's now 19. $99.00 is big, big pond compound and every now on sale to $1799.00. but it's just gone up up, up, and people feel that and all around the country more more they feel like they've lost out on value. by the way, it doesn't matter how true it is. i think it is true,

but how they feel when it comes to jobs, there are lots of jobs, but they're not paying well enough. they're not moving up. they're confused by the are they the information economy and how it's trained? well, there's a reason for this. the democrats always want to control, right? so they're going to make you subservient to them. and this is the way they've carried on look how they control the cities, right. all, all the major cities, the democrats control and they control the people within it so that people, they, they basically want to take away our middle class. and that's basically what's happening, fight artificially creating this inflation that we're seeing. we didn't have that under trump, right. and, and, and i don't know if we can get it back. yeah. and one more thing on this was the one thing that's becoming common is the perception. i think it happens to be accurate, but perception of the corruption in the swamp and people are seeing they're, they're not even surprised by the, by the family making tens of millions of dollars. they're not because they know it happens to every other senators, family,

every other congressman family. nancy pelosi is for value that dissatisfaction with the swamp is going to drive both parties are going to pay a price for that when they're incumbents. the question is whether you're, if it's bite and versus trump, or an economies in the, in the crapper where it is usually you're going to pick against the party in office . yeah. then you're gonna see a trump. that's why i wonder if i makes it to the to the a nomination, because we think they put up a fresher face and say, we're going to do it better than the old guy did it and see how it goes. i think that's what they'll have to do, but they've gotta keep, they've got to keep by them because he has controllers from manage. yeah. right. quite effectively. yeah. and, and he's working out for them quite well. yeah. and they're, they're, they're steering the country precisely where they want it to be. and what i'm really concerned about is how you have people from the, the big guys, the, the, the media. we have the by the administration now, which is, is basically in lock step with the cartels and they, they basically become

a crime syndicate as far as i'm concerned because they are aiding and abetting this drug, drug info influx that we have not to mention the illegal traffic, it took me 10 years to get a, an ex wife in here, legally. and these guy sure will. yeah. the other story that's, you know, there's the weather, but there guys just walked in tens of thousands in walking in it's, it's outrages and in, and it's, i think it's going to have a, a backlash, particularly in the other minorities in this country who did come in legal? yeah, that's what i'm, that's what i'm saying. now. generally we saw at the top biden's re election bid came via video recorded message in 2020. there was the excuse of the coven locked downs, not to have the campaign in person. there's no excuses. this time cobit is over, it's officially over. in fact, quite and declared it over. he signed paperwork, saying it was over, trump is heading, the campaign trail is good, really hers because it got excused. it's going to be,

i'm so busy with governing. it's a, it's a roll top, it's the rose garden strategy, hasn't been employed before and that and also have so busy and it'll be very controlled and it, what trump go out, roaming around the country. but if we look at that, that juxtaposition, right truck is on the campaign trail real hard for the republican side, our f k junior, already pulling around 20 percent on the democrat side. and that guy actually is heading the trail and he is younger and more vibrant. he's doing all the interviews all over the place by then hasn't done one live press conference or live tv interview, and at least a year. everything is prerecorded. there's no need 11 second almost. there's no need because they care that what they control it, right? they're controlling the media like the, the all western media. you never hear anything on what's happening really in ukraine for example, because the meat western media controls a narrative. and that's what we have to deal with. i mean, we have one of our opponent doing these vol live club meetings for 3 hours, talking to the press for 4 or 5 hours. great. but do you remember how much they

leaked? the trump white house, leak people, humans or humans? who are you? pretend that the white house at the bottom white house is lead proof. there's plenty of stories, a bite and a mess doing terribly fighting, and they're not reporting it because it's totally safe and they're going to do it. what, what for what reason would you change your router? it is because it worked. didn't work the last time and the whole did? no, it doesn't matter. it didn't answer. i don't want to ever, and all of our institutions are complaining why these, by the, by these administration officials. and they never leave. they, they re absorb back into the, the, the, the, the, the, the dark state if you will, and, and run, and run things even though you might have a president trump lead in the future, but they'll seek to undermine right. and we've seen that in the intelligence community, and we're seeing it today. and in the a lot for bottom line, it seems the other polls also say nobody wants biden, and trump re match. they don't want to to point out. nobody wants to see that. that's where it's heading, but the so,

but that's like people that tell me that they wish so. and so with one for the present they don't run for present. right. that, that lee. i have coke and have a ran for president. that only wouldn't great. it's the kind of people run for present are or narcissistic lunatics. all of them and they're gonna run against each other. you're going to finish me like i don't really like either one of them. but that guy is going to give me a chance to have a future, or that guy is going to keep us out of war. i don't want to war. i don't want to do just a legal world has kept us out of white and he improved on inflation, improved unemployment. right. so i, so he has actually showing that he can prevent the problem. is that on a ton of money? i'm gonna yeah, wasted a lot, but no one likes his personality. i like it. we've, we, we in america seem to just vote on the least worse. so that's kind of where we're at as well. and it's on the, here's my criteria, who can convince kim jones on to come back to the table? there you go. that's going to be my, can't i dropped the trumpet by the way that you, what you said is exec way, right? it's, it's the worst system in the whole world. that's the best. i mean it's,

it's the very best of the worst system is true, but that's, we get great results. and ultimately, we mostly get stagnation, like we have now to try to stop some of the middle work out the loud. all right, jim and i have to leave that right there at least for now. we'll see how all this stuff shakes out in the months to come. mike maloof ad martin, thank you both for weighing in on this and it was a lot of fun that's going to do it for today's episode of modus operandi. the show that dig deep into foreign policy and current affairs, i'm your host manila chan. thank you for tuning in. we'll see you again next time to figure out the m. o. the

in the, as well as tulsa westbank refuge account that was in, in, with us fi fins ground for killing at least 8 people are claiming to target palestinian militants also at the 1st 70 percent. the french citizens want to say to the manager and see the flag government struggle with home life long. last week, for meds across the country, code for civilians to take to the streets to tackle the situation themselves.

suffering, he is for a minute. the praises trade relations with a rush. the 1st thing that the country already asked and the best interests of its people and that includes building type with some of the a very welcome. this is all the international with the very latest world news update. it's good to have you with as well as military has invaded vision in refugee camp in the upkeep, hide west back claiming to target palestinian militants that at least the aged people have been killed in a 100 others injured in the past 24 hours of the

palestinian health ministry size is really missile strength of targeted residential buildings engine in confrontations between the palestinian resistance on the ideas were reported in several areas. if this is a medical work is engine inside the number of victims, that is the highest since last. this is where the forces also reportedly caught electricity in the city and blokes ambulances from accessing the area, as well as prime minister and say his troops with the assistant to the objectives, a chief we will continue this operation as long as necessary to restore peace and security to the citizens of israel, however, forces entered jeanine onto the terrace, and that is fully eliminated. terrorism is the arrest. wanted to present, assume that the destroy the headquarters and sees many,

whether in the community do another thing they destroy. the laboratory is on an almost industrial scale laboratories from which they created the explosives intended for the slaughter and murder of his released civilian company. and one of the operation has been continuing 4 hours now. and as we understand the 1st day is not going to be the last one. the idea of both the police on israel security forces destroyed some 20 car is longing to various on defections in the west bank. safety of getting at the center of the arm's power steering resistance. it is considered by israel as a hub of terror. and according to prominence or benjamin antonio, this operation was almost inevitable. he said, israel has been left with no choice but to act decisively. hundreds of ground troops are participating in addition to more than 120 arm and face was fine to dress and drones. this is for the 1st time and almost 20 years that we see these rarely forces attacking the west bank from this kind. the idea of says and

destroyed several combined centers reportedly used by the militant incenses, a significant amount off weapons destroyed some armed storage and also destroyed a number of boards or is wherever pulls. the explosives were produced as prime minister said on an equally industrial scale that was to news reports that at least a people have been killed during this operation doesn't is how there is have been injured and molding these. 2 arrests have been carried out. no casualties have so far been reported on these rarely signed the palestinian authorities strongly condemn israel as actions as most of the international community is considered as the west bank. as all compliance by israel seems the 1967 more so they see any action by the people on the ground, including with weapons in bold as acts of self defense and resistance. they have

the right for, according to international laws and not as terrorist. allison and presidents, my boss says it stops, cuts all security cooperation with israel following the operation entity and is now calling for the international community to interfere. right in the bottom, we renew our costs of the international community to provide urgent protection to our people. impose sanctions on the occupying entity, israel, and condemn this terrorist aggression. but since the beginning of the senior at 20 acres riley's last day lives in terror, attacks on the palestine inside more than 150 people were killed in the idea of smells her rays, all thralls, you'll find westbank, including civilians including miners. so things have been really boiling up here on the ground, and in the last month, the international community has repeatedly been calling on both sides to come down

. but apparently it has little effect as we see more escalation. instead, the, this footage shows the idea targeting journalist destroying their equipment is where the troops fide from a minute. terry via co damaging the time where before driving away, according to the wasa news agency, the crew included an out around the tv reporter on his comma operator. we spoke with most associates, i residents office in, in to describe the situation on the ground. i guess i could somebody from as well, but i'm in the night. in fact we did so by the is there any box against the subject to the people that just gave you a new job? we get, we don't dense ex exactly 4 hours except that's military ocean. we'd be like big also that's a big community drawers with, with, with the ministry jeeps at that junior. janine from that suite,
