a blistering exposÉ of the carter administration that did a lot of political damage to carter.you're pretty critical i thought of the decision to polish that piece and is characteristic of carter in that piece. i want to if you could say a little bit more about that? also more generally did carter get a fair shake from the press? >> he did not get a fair shake. he became president in early 77, in the wake of the watergate scandal where every journalist in washington wanted to emulate bob woodward and bernstein and become known as an investigative journalist. so they went out trying to find dirt on the carter administration. mary unsuccessfully. but, is also a time in the "washington post" was inventing the style section. you had journalists like sally quinn is writing very gossipy pieces about hamilton and jody powell, the georgia boys surrounding the carter white house who she would make fun of for their southern accent, the way they dressed the way they talk about issues they were not interested in the georgetown sets, they did not circulate on the cocktail circuit. and carte

we are not in that camp. >> carter worth, carter, thank you.hat chart on rates, truly remarkable most people said 2% by the end of the year. not sure if we're going to get there. it would be a heck of a move if we did tony, mike and carter explained what is happening on the pro-only institutional level, but you've got a way to kind of simulate this for maybe the less pro, you know, the retail options trader, or whatever it wants to be, how do you do it? >> that's exactly right, if we translate what mike said in the euro/dollar futures to the yield charts that carter showed you, let's take a look at tlt, a product that viewers can trade, which is going to be an inverse of the ten-year yield that carter just showed you. so if we look at a chart of tlt, recently we've seen this etf break out above $146, and just yesterday it came back to retest that level as support, just like the yield chart that carter showed you, the inverse of it, and it came off and bounced off of that level and i think that bond prices are headed higher here, just as yields

carter, kick it off. >> big week for healthcare and moderna. let's look at a few tables and some charts. the first table, one week performance, we know healthcare beats the market and amgen is well below the market and the sector the next table, again, leading the way is the healthcare sector, above the s&p and there is amgen next table, three months, same picture, you got the healthcare sector up over the past few months, 8%, the market is 5.5. amgen is down. amgen is launching up some 24% or 25% one or two charts. on tom, amgen. on the bottom, relative p perfo performance. we are breaking down to a new two or four year lows. we are hovering ominously if you will and now having under cut the up trend line in effect since the march low. the presumption here is this week for shadows something not right of the earnings announcement we want underway and going short into the report. >> mike, what's the trade here >> so amgen is an interesting case here, carter was pointing out that the healthcare sector overall has been out performing it quite sign

carter, i'm guessing this is the best of the times when you look at the charts?od times. and let's look at the chart. two charts the first is just what you see it is. it's a steady up trend and every time the stock has come down to trend you could see the arrows, it has bounced to the penny. earnings coming, we gapped up earlier in the week. very bullish price volume correlation, the presumption is more to come and now look at the relative same relative circumstance in terms of what we're plotting it against, as opposed to zoom, look at the relative performance of crowd strike to, again, the i shares tech, software and the etf igv. that is a coiled spring. meaning it hasn't made any relative progress since december but that is the setup for the breakout and we think it is going to do it in response to earnings. >> mike, how are you treating crowd strike >> yeah, so one of the things that carter just said, coiled spring what he's talking about is not that the stock has a level of support, but that it's actually going to advance and that's one of the reasons that i

let's get to carter worth to chart the action carter >> well, lesley, let's look at that dollar again and let's look at gold. so, the first chart is -- let's spend a bit of time on this. the symmetry, the analog of the prior move, it's remarkable. so, we know that you had a 60-session advance you can see it there on your screen from the january-march period and the dollar advance is 4.7% and gives it all back. and then has an identical move, which we're in right now, right, of 63 sessions, may-august, also 4.7%, meaning two distinct a advances, the exact same duration and magnitude and the dollar reversed on the low today essentially similar to what happened three months ago we're thinking here the dollar is going to back away. does that mean gold has to advance? no but that is the thinking and let's look at some gold charts so, the first -- we'll move more quickly. this is just a one-year chart of gold, and what do we know? gold got down 20% back in march. hit $16.76 and you can see it held that low again and then again here in july, a triple bottom if you will take a look at the nex

carter, what do you think?so amazon, think of what happened similar to netflix, a big winner, but then goe into a range for almost a year and rather than breaking out on its earnings it broke down gapped down. but the damage is contained, just as it was in netflix and just as you see neat friction climbing back now, amazon, too, is likely to fill that gap but break out and make new highs if you're long you stay. >> mike, what do you think >> yeah, i mean, fundamentally it is really hard to bet against this company i mean, they basically execute in many areas and we continue to see good growth. i think they're getting decent margins at long last, people forever were asking when is this company going to see profits, and, of course, now we are beginning to see them. they've invested in the business and done so very wisely and i do look like amazon long term >> good stuff. thank you so much for being here that does it for us here on "options action. we'll be back next friday at 5:30 p.m. eastern. don't go anywhere.

but carter moore thinks the prognosis is so bad it might be good carter worth, please, explain. >> sure. so as a state from health care the focus here is going to be on biotech. what we know, there's been real bi by fo bifurcation. we know total number of stocks in the spdrs eat f. you see. charts, three absolute look at the first comparative chart. two thing. one is spdr versus ishare. the interesting diverge between a marketed cap weighted and equal etf for all intents and purposes the spread year to date about 125 basis points see it there the next chart here are the two etfs again. the high flier actually the equal weighted etf which sort of crashed bath to earth. the next three charts. xbi, you see the drawdown i'm annotated down some 30%. now look at the next chart that 30% sell-off is exactly at 50% retracement in the pandemic low. see the fib dadac which i line there. 30% sell-off and 50% move right to a level it keeps holding. so as the ibb, which is fine, we think the xbi is a circumstance of so that's it's good and have bounce potential, haval sold off support. >> bounce tpot

beverley carter was known in little rock arkansas. she was a beloved mother, wife, and was back double thrill estate broker with a bunch of clients. then she vanished. like all missing case persons, police know is a race before time to find her before it was too late. here is andrea canning with the client. >> beverley carter was making a name for herself in little rock arkansas. >> her face was in the paper every week. >> she had a billboard on one of the busiest interstates, with her face on it. >> as a top selling realtor, beverley carter had become somewhat of a local celebrity. with her infectious smile, she put house hunters at ease. just to find the perfect home she often did. >> beverley was awesome. nobody can do it like beverley could. >> but there was a downside to her celebrity. >> this realtor had a target on her back. >> yes she did. she didn't know it. >> for beverley, being a realtor was more than just closing a deal. >> was she in the perfect job for her personality? >> yes. >> absolutely. >> yes. >> her son's, chad,

gets the night off i'm brian sullivan thanks for joining us and your traders tonight, steve grasso, carter worth, and nay dean turner so much to get through tonight let us begin with the market itself because this has been nothing short of a juggernaut rally. look at that now, the s&p 500, it may not have posted a monster gain today, but it doesn't matter all it did was close at a record for the fourth straight day. which means the s&p is now hit an incredible 48 record highs this year, in fact, it has been ten months since the index has even had a tiny 5% decline wow. and most incredible perhaps of all the index has now doubled from the pandemic low. if you were smart, or lucky enough, or both, to buy back at the march of 2020 low, you're up a cool 100%. even as these gains come, even as we get some warning signs around consumer spending, markets continue to move higher. consumer sentiment, by the way, at its lowest level in ten years, that set yields back down, below 1.3% so let's kick it off and tie it all together steve grasso what does all this market action that we've seen recently t

but carter didn't budge and went ahead anyway. the main take aways of the speech were his to make alone. first, the united states hadn't lost confidence in itself and global standing. second, that the crisisent what just energy related. second, that the crisis wasn't just energy related it was spiritual crisis as well. how did oil get graft into the soil of america on a global stage paving the way for what would become known as the american century. what did it mean for this nation when confidence fueled by big religion and big oil crumbled during the carter era. in an effort to address these and other queries related to the book i want to offer a sample glimpse of a couple facet what's i call a religious biography of oil on the heart of the 20th century to the 30s to 1970 glancing at american power brokers envisioned the petroleum industry as essential to the rise of american political exceptionism on a national stage and i will cut to the local level and move beyond altitudes and focus on what familiar oil patch that might be fa

has a bounce potential here having sold off to support >> okay, bounce potential there on the xbi carter, thank you very much. mike, do you agree what if anything may be the trade here >> yeah, so one of the things i do like about this is when we compare sort of the cap weighted etfs indices to the weighted one, the cap weighted one is essentially if you feel that some of the best performing stocks in a given space have essentially out perform, kwaul weight is the weight to go i was taking a look out to october, the 130 and 145 spread in xbi when i was looking at that, that would cost about $3.95 viewers will know that we typically when we are trying to buy these vertical spreads are looking to spend some where in the neighborhood of 25% of the distance between the strikes and maybe getting 25 % to 30% or so the short option is going to mitigate the effects of decay. when you have volatile sector, that's where you will see more pricey option. i am not going to call it expensive because oftentimes those higher prices will justify. this is a way to mitigate that another thing to use a call

but carter did not budge, and went ahead anyway. and in the main takeaways of that speech therefore remained his to make alone. first that the united states had lost confidence in itself and its global standing. and second that the crisis wasn't just energy related, it was a spiritual crisis as well. carter's speech pointed to my questions, how to get drafted onto its soul of america, and grafted onto its global stage, painting the way for the way would be known as the americans ascension. what did it mean for this call? when the confidence of an american century bolstered by big oil and religion cornfield and carter era? so, in an effort to address these mother queries related to the book, i want to just offer the minutes we have today a glimpse of the couple of facets of what i call a religious biography of oil. and i'm going to focus principally on the heart of the 20th century from the thirties to the 19 seventies, i will begin by just glancing at how some american powerbrokers from the very beginning of the industry, envisioned

carter's father and carter's big sister join me now. kyle and caden. us. kyle, it's the hardest thing in the world when you have a child that's sick and i can't imagine to have a child in the hospital and not be able to go visit him which is your situation right now but just tell us how carter is doing. >> thanks for having us, john. it really helps deliver the message. we appreciate everything that everyone has done for us in trying to get the message out. as far as what it's like, we can't be there. i mean, it's just one thing to have a child with an illness and to be there and help, but just due to the hospital regulations with their visitor restrictions, i mean, i can't even go in. i don't blame the hospital for that. they're just trying to protect their employees as well, that their employees have families. so i don't blame them for that, but it's terrible. you can't even communicate with the people that are trying to help. >> you know, i just can't imagine it. i know your wife is there. and i know carter is young, but i'm sure that he feels your

carter bemoaned the lack of conservation. the attack on oil made in moralistic terms was, in their mind, the final straw. over the course of the next year ronald reagan inflamed their anger running on the slogan let's make america great again, he won the hearts and mind of the american oil patch. quote, we must remove government obstacles to energy production, he declared. malaise had no place in reagan's vocabulary. he promised the nation would be great again as soon as wildcatters opened up new frontiers and god fearing pioneers raised their children. the institutional structures of wildcat christianity would indeed welcome and amplify reagan's fuel and family values message and prove key to his win in 1980. reagan would reward his supporters by making one of them his secretary of the interior. james lot would see to it that evangelical's longstanding fears would find policy outlets. in the spirit of the southwest wildcatters who had fought against the new deal order, he would promise to restore custodianship of the oil pat

carter worth >>> you tweet, i would say we answer but i'm not going to answer they answer.nt. it's a thirteen-hour flight, that's not a weekend trip. fifteen minutes until we board. oh yeah, we gotta take off. you downloaded the td ameritrade mobile app so you can quickly check the markets? yeah, actually i'm taking one last look at my dashboard before we board. excellent. and you have thinkorswim mobile- -so i can finish analyzing the risk on this position. you two are all set. have a great flight. thanks. we'll see ya. ah, they're getting so smart. choose the app that fits your investing style. ♪♪ and there you have it - wireless on the fastest, most reliable network. wow! big deal! we get unlimited for just $30 bucks. i get that too and mine has 5g included. impressive. impressive is saving four hundred bucks a year. four bucks? that's tough to beat. relax people, my wireless is crushing it. okay, that's because you all have xfinity mobile. it's wireless so good, it keeps one upping itself. when traders tell us how to make thinkorswim even better, we listen. like jack. h

is not the landon carter, stories in which we keep children up at night. it's a tough decision because, and i think it has come out most clearly with something we don't talk about so much in this course because he doesn't really get important in the american story until after this course parameter but thomas jefferson as perfect example of this, what we do with thomas jefferson, the man who penned the storyboards of the declaration of independence about equality while holding people enslaved in bondage and having a controversial then and now relationship with sally hemmings. the fact though that you have william william byrd ii, thomas jefferson, these men are in some cases the most, the horrifying thing about them is they are not unusual in this sense. this is in some ways a very american story which i think is something to be wrestled with. so again i think there's a landon carter's or you could tell in colonial williamsburg but hope they're also making an effort to give you the flip side of that. that i think is the conundrum with places like bird park.

carter >> well, that's right. we've had a big move in the dollar and of course we've had quite a selloff in em. and i think you'll get a trade here with the dollar backing down and e.m. bouncing let's look at a few charts the first is the dxi, the dollar index chart. and what you see here is of course the 60-session move, the three-month january-march move and the one on may-august. both of these stop, we reversed hard today and closed on the low. where all that congestion is from about a year ago. to my eye, we have come a long way, an impressive advance almost 5% back to a difficult level. and i think the dollar does back away here. what that means for the e.m., we shall see but my hunch is you play fair bounce let's look at three eem charts this is the eye shares, and emerging market etf. the first is if you will the february to present pullback it's exactly 15%, and it's remarkably orderly it's been in this channel, as annotated on the screen. now, the next chart is sort of an up close and personal of that cha

carter: thank you.isiana's lieutenant governor is in clackamas parish and joins us on the phone. mr. lieutenant governor, remind everyone where it is and what is the situation now? >> it is that little thing that sticks 100 miles out to the gulf of mexico, both sides of the mississippi river. -- it's still, many miles of it is underwater. it looks like a warone. judy: tell us what you have seen today and what people are saying. to what extent are people in distress, homes, other buildings in people's lives turned upside down. >> the town of myrtle grove is submerged in water. last night when everybody went to bed, there were calls to evacuate people from the area as water rushed up highway 23 and those efforts failed. luckily, i did not get into all of those home but people were frantically leaving their homes in the middle of the night. today, highway 23 is continue to be submerged in water. the water will not go out until the wind turns around and then pumping will begin. most of the parish is out of

and then a white house speech writer for president jimmy carter. he is now a staff writer for the atlantic. jim, thank you very much for joining us tonight. i find the discussions that do not involve memories that range as far back as 1975 to be frustrating. so i am glad you are here. one thing i'm fascinated about is how the evacuation of vietnam did not become the political football that the afghanistan has become instantaneously. when you say first florence thank you very much, i agree with everything that you are saying the horrors of the war, for generations to go and there are horrors now but when you start a war you buy into the end of that. war and i agree the solution -- jimmy carter, his promised achievement as a president, he's often said that he did not go to war in four years. when he was in office. i think that as you dimly recall because as a very young man then, in the 19 seventies were -- there were horrors on every front. the first president in history to resign, president nixon resigned, it was the watergate scandal, after the fa

>> i look at things differently from the way carter does probably more often carter is right.t as a partmarquee ne that's on sale now i think we'll see some good numbers from them. it will reward them if they do show good numbers there. for all those reasons i'm trade it >> they are out with their results on thursday. trade it, fade it? >> i'm fading this one it's not so much about what i expect to see from the results it's the biden area is seemingly asymmetric risk around that. there's nothing they will say that will over shadow what is going on in terms of crackdown in terms of china. i'm fading it. >> yeah, you have the chinese government hanging over this one as well. trade it or fade it? s >> this is a fades for me too. this stock is off from its recent peak or the peak we saw bit ago. the stock is off 58% or so it bounced 10% the stock is not even over sold. it was over sold and could only rally just under 10% this one is the great abyss of what is china going to do. eventually this will be a buy but i can't tell you when that is so i'm going to say fade it >> all right

i'm so sorry, carter. i-- i know you putmu

what do the charter say carter, what are you seeing? can setting the score, but at the end of a few charts let's talk about the wall street convention of price targets. a few slides and charts. first, 1928 to present that's all the data we have. what do we know? markets are built to go up they've gone up 63 years gone down 31 probability of being up, if you call that statistics, is 67% more gdp more oreo cookies, more cars, generally we ascend. slide two. the median mean gain well, the mean gain in any given year, 7.9% the median, 11.1 you can see it there on your screen so a chart of the s&p with the trend line what do we know? right now, we're up 20 so we're up double the median dw gain of 11 we're up 20. were we to stay on this trend line, final chart, we would actually reach 4950 and be up 32%. so to go to 4825, the level we were just hearing about, that would be up 28% for the year and we've had drawdowns along the way. we haven't had a 5% drawdown plus since march so can we extrapolate the trend? that's fine. but let's maybe for t

they had someone portraying landon carter, as someone of the same caliber and the same elite group as william byrd who in my opinion did some equally deplorable things to his enslaved population and i was quite surprised to see an interpreter portraying him as a living history site because that felt a bit, just, i don't know. i would be interested to hear your takes on that. >> that's another excellent points to make, thank you and i think that the thing is if you don't know. to sarah's point, if you haven't done adeep dive into the history of landon carter, would you know ? there is a simple story which is well the virginia gentleman who in the case of william byrd collected lots of books and wrote a very informative history although again, showing the recent strike of his time but is national history focus narrative of his journey to the dividing line between north carolina and virginia is a valuable historical source but if you start getting into williamsburg the second as his personal life, things get messy and complicated. that's as you point out not something that the landon car

and then speechwriter for president jimmy carter. he's now a staff writer for the "atlantic." thank you for joining us tonight. i find discussions that do not involve memories that range as far back at 1975 this week to be rather frustrating, so i'm glad you're here. one thing i'm fascinated by is how the evacuation of vietnam did not become the political football that the afghanistan evacuation has become instantaneously. >> thank you for the setup you did. i agree with everything you were presenting about the horrors of that war generations ago, and of course there are horrors now, but when you start a war, you buy into the end of that war. and i agree the solution -- jimmy carter's finest achievement was that he did not go to war when he was in office. as you probably recall, as a very young man then, the mid-1970s -- there were horrors on every front. the first american president in history to resign, richard nixon, the watergate scandal -- after the fall of saigon, there were, again, the horrors of the khmer rouge onslaught in c

carter isn't. to stay copacetic with trump and talk to the american people. he's playing a political game at the same time trying to save lives. i admire him and i would hate it if someone took this as something to use against him. >> host: he was sort of the man last year. the final one, great question. after everything is back to normal what do you think of the possibility of people not having any interest in reading, watching, listening or consuming anything pandemic related as we have been living this for 24/seven? thank you for writing it. >> guest: people will have that prejudice, i might have that prejudice. the pandemic, we don't get to the pandemic until page 180 in the book. i told my editor i am skipping the pandemic. it is going to be done so briefly because the only interest to my characters is the very beginning of it. taking on this march through a dreary event, wasn't what the story was about. it was about all things around the pandemic that led to what happened during the pandemic.

sara carter again joining us along with america first legal founder stephen miller. down at the border one more time. you've been there throughout all of this, you look at these draconian measures now being placed on the american people and they aren't even testing people and they are dispersing people to every state. americans will contract, with a high rate of covid positivity. exponentially americans are going to get sick. americans will die because of these policies of joe biden. >> that's right. we are seeing this in texas. it's a strain on the resources and i've got to tell you the frustration not only lies with the resident's pluralists in hidalgo, brownsville, all along the border, but also with federal law enforcement officials. i spoke to numerous sources this past week, they were saying that in anticipation of secretary mayorkas' visit, they were written a directive to basically clean everything up, make it look good, put people on buses, ship them out. and we saw that over and over again while we were out here on assignment. busload after busload after bu

nick carter, the head of the armed forces, said that there were numbers in the hall, you hundreds of people still in afghanistan who are eligible to come to the u. k. on friday, the government said that there were between 811 hundreds eligible afghans and up to 150 britons who hadn't been evacuated many sources in the u. k. you say that based on the number of coals desperate appeals, they're getting from relative said. they think the number could be significantly higher. well, whatever the case, nick carter says they will continue to do whatever they can in these last few hours . and he says it's gone as well as it could in the circumstances. well, the circumstances as we've been hearing are tragic and chaotic. so it's far from ideal and it's really unclear exactly how many people are stuck and what they do next. the defense secretary, ben wallace, pretty battelle, the home secretary and the foreign secretary dominic rob, have written to politicians here from thing the u. k. will use every lever to continue to try to help people leave the country off to next tuesday. and they think i

we have our investigative reporter sara carter, she is there. h and stephen miller.aight ahead. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> sean: joe biden's border crisis super spread or even hitting a new high tonight as border apprehensions, they hit a whopping 212,000 in july, that's only the number we know about. that number is the highest in two decades.he every month this number keeps getting higher and higher. get this, local government officials in laredo, texas, say that among one group of migrants, the covid, positivityc rate there was a whopping 40%. according to border patrol chief, 400 border patrol agents remain in quarantine status. as we learned earlier this year from the gao, at least 7,000 agents reported have been infected. dozens havet died from covid. joe, why don't the migrants have to show proof of vaccine, or why is there no vaccine mandate or vaccine passport or proof of a negative test? why aren't you testing them before you disburse them all over the country? residents in south texas are so overwhelmed they are at a breaking point. see the reporting from our very own inve

dean credits carter mecher's vision with giving her the courage to push.ine dr. matt hepburn, who ultimately led vaccine development for the trump administration's "operation warp speed." but still, over 600,000 americans have died. >> lewis: it's like a superhero story, where the superheroes seem to lose in the end. they're there to fight this pandemic and to save american lives. they don't appear to do it, but the little wrinkle on the end of it is, you know, they learned things that are going to help us the next time around. >> dickerson: the stories of each character's struggle to be heard highlight what lewis says is a key point: public institutions are ill-equipped to move fast enough to handle a large-scale pandemic. his characters worry the country is still vulnerable. what connects them, the characters? >> lewis: they love life, they realize how important it is, and they want to save it. and so, they all have some-- this emotional component of when they hear 600,000 americans died. it's not just a number. >> dickerson: michael writes that all of y

and carter ended his spot with a question at just 2.2% of the s&p 500, why bother. nadine, why bother >> well you bother caring because it has a higher beta right. so i think it was dan or pete said, i can't remember now, the higher highs could go fast and the lower lows could go fast so and if we're trading down 33%, we have to backtrack. it is been breaking down trend lines for us when we see that we have to pause and so while it does represent for us a 3.5 upside versus down side is that exciting enough? no it only has 13% implied volatility premium and so we'd like to see the numbers in our favor before we jump in. >> the answer to why bother also, mel, is because they're trading opportunities here a name like psx, which i think got to 94 and i never thought it would be 66 again. but this 66 level is where it broke out from back in january the risk/reward sets up well and just one other thing how long have we been doing this show. >> a long time. >> in january it will be 15 years. coy say with almost absolute certainty that the word practitioner has never been u

you have landon carter and you have thomas jefferson.these men are in some cases the most horrifying thing about them is that they are not unusual. this is in some ways a very american story which is something to be reckoned with. there's a landing carter story that you could tell in williamsburg but i hope they are making an effort to give you the flip side of that. and that is the conundrum with places like that. you just go and if you learn anything about it you can do your own research and check it out on the internet but one of the founders of richmond and the fact that he owned a lot of the property and established the city nothing is mentioned about the people and nothing is mentioned about his the fact that property that he owned and was possessed in the first place. there are many complicated layers to him and one of the things that monuments were that they take the form of statues like i said at the beginning mother nature tents to simplify things much more than an the past. it was plymouth rock there is an inspiring story that

, former first lady roslyn carter, and inside their home, 96, 93 years old, they take off their masks they are right there next to them, which they've been telling us not to do. declared aiden then new policy. vax or mask, remember that? well now it is vax and mask and vaccine mandates and mask mandates and other draconian new restrictions and the possibility of yet more shutdowns. at biden request, and they seem eager in implementing all these new mandates. federal officials are now also calling on children as young as three years old to wear masks at all times in school. the nih director, genius that he is, he actually instructed, in the last week, parents to wear masks around their children inside of their own homes. at this point, we don't even know if schools in certain blue states will open in the fall and biden is still refusing to rule out a new round of these draconian lockdowns. now remember, just a few weeks ago, it was biden, other top democrats, media mob, they were declaring victory in the fight against covid-19. they promised that life could finally now return to normal

watch this. >> jimmy carter with his hostages he lost because of it, jimmy carter with his hostages isrse than the to run crisis? >> it will be worse for a couple reasons. the scale of it will be much worse. we are not getting however many, 10, 20,000 american stranded in afghanistan. we are not going to get all those people out. what you will see his hostagetaking, kidnappings etc. as tribal leaders in afghanistan fight for their own space. we have a lot of americans around the country and afghanistan. right now the taliban looks like unified group totally in charge but the taliban is a lot of different tribes made up to fight the americans. now we are leaving you will see certain tribal leaders trying to get an advantage for themselves, you take americans hostage. it is worse in that regard but the thing i am concerned with it is much worse than the jimmy carter hostage situation because of our standing in the world and the chinese are using this as a pr effort. they broadcast that picture of an american aircraft leaving kabul airport with afghans, they told the taiwanese very clearl
