let's bring in bob bear and retired lieutenant colonel daniel davis.ially at the hour. appreciate you. bob, let me start with you. the president had to say that. when america ais attacked when any of our service men or women are hurt, you can expect the commander in chief to knuckle up but how real is that threat? >> it's not very real, chris. the problem is that the islamic state as you said is mixed in with the taliban. even the taliban don't know who they are. these suicide bombers can manufacture the stuff at home. they don't have bases. they don't have a command structure like we know. sometimes, they are not up on cell phones. so to strike back at them is gonna be nearly impossible. i know we'd like to, but you just can't. >> colonel, were you able to hear the interview with the woman we had in the last segment? >> i was. yes. i was riveted. i was. >> that kind of desperation. how -- do we have the logistical means in this kind of window to get any kind of process that efficiently can get out any significant number of the people who remain? >> we

daniel davis, a senior fellow at the foreign policy think tank defense priorities.n. thank you very much forjoining us here on the programme. ijust what your reaction to what the us secretary of state has just said. he secretary of state has “ust said. he has secretary of state has just said. he: has made similar comments before, but he is talking about the original plan and the original mission from 2001 to early 2002 which was to militarily damage the taliban and to harm the al-qaeda ability to conduct international terrorism, those were accomplished and i have already argued many times that shortly after thatis argued many times that shortly after that is what we should have withdrawn, instead of turning it into a nation—building war, but look, people will do whatever they can to put the best face on this, but there is no good face to put on this, this is an abject military defeat and it has now exposed more than 20 years of unwillingness to acknowledge reality on the ground, unwillingness to be honest about it and to still try and hope that something good can co

let's bring in retired lieutenant colonel daniel davis deployed to afghanistan twice.ou for being here and thank you for your service. i want to begin by asking you, and your experience watching everything playing out, what have been the better strategy here for getting out? >> based on what i physically observed 2005, six and during the search in 2010 and 11, i can tell you unequivocally the right answer would have been similar to what was said a minute ago to withdrawal in 2014. that was the way we should have done it then but trump tried to get us out february 2020 but we did not take advantage of that even for four biden came in when he came in and set of a significant amount of ties to do this coordinated and organized ways, we got out really quick and that to everyone into confusion and undermined what was going on but it's a bigger issue, far bigger "issue is" how 20 years have passed and $120 left the afghan government and military that they literally discredit this integrated with the least amount of taliban pressure and that's what's going on because this con

>> harris: lieutenant colonel daniel davis is from defense priorities.old star families and the men and women who have given so much sacrifice physically, emotionally and professionally. >> i feel a lot of the same things. when i watched these images and where i was, i spent a lot of times in the airport at kabul and see the images that are heartbreaking to know where it used to be and where things are right now. i think some of these comments you heard are hitting the nail on the head. quite frankly we're putting way too much blame on biden for how he is getting out of here and let me say the way he has conducted this is absolutely a contributing factor so it but this is 20 years in the making. those people are right. this is across the board republican, democrat, military, government, there has been so much failure here because this is inevitable. as i've been saying on your show over the years that this is a militarily unattainable mission. instead of being honest with the american people we had way too many people claim we were making progress and th

lieutenant colonel daniel davis i want to bring in quickly senior fellow and military expert at defense priorities. he served in the military for more than two decades and deployed to afghanistan twice in his career. lieutenant colonel davis, thank you for being with me. first of all what do you make of this rocket situation? i'm wondering where did they get this capability? are we talking shoulder to aramis ill? what's going on? >> when i was my last combat deployment in afghanistan through 2011, i was headquartered in bagram. it was almost a daily occurrence. they are something like -- not manmade but they aren't formal kinds of rocket launchers. typically -- they sometimes fire them out of a back of a truck or car. one of the strikes we've had against isis-k you could see the rocket launchers in the back seat of the car. they are inaccurate but if they happen to hit something they can cause damage. >> harris: you can't do a directional hit. but if you created what other military analysts have told me the best word to use right now at that airport is a kill zone because you have peopl

army lieutenant colonel daniel davis and colonel, great to see you.nks very much for being here. i have to get your assessment on all of this. let me just add to this, i have notes right here that say that u.s. black hawk helicopters were captured by the taliban. you've got horrified senators demanding and ad it from the department of defense of exactly what weaponry was left on the ground that is now being inspected by the taliban and the ccp and whoever else. how do you see this, colonel? >> look, this is such an awful situation and a lot of the blame is rightly falling on the biden administration for how they conducted this because it exacerbate what had was a bad situation but we need to be very clear on one thing here that the only reason we are seeing the rapid destruction is not because of how biden got out but because of the core that was rotten of afghan government and military forces that we have known for many, many years. you talk about the smoking gun, the smoking gun was really the afghan papers that the washington posted in 2019 that sh

daniel boone was. he's a great american frontiersman. think of him in the era of davie crockett. but it's weird because daniel boone and davy crockett. davie crockett was at the battle of the alamo. when was that? 1840s? we're talking about 1775. this is when daniel boone's single most famous act of pioneering took place. he led a party of settlers in the wake of dunmore's war through the cumberland gap and into central kentucky. and one of the first towns founded in central kentucky was boons boonesboro. his most famous act occurred before the united states existed. it's fascinating that we don't -- in the popular imagination, we don't place him in time here. we don't think of the american revolution as a pioneering era. but the american revolution is the first pioneering era and the first intrepid western explorers/occupiers swung into action in the revolution and in kentucky. i want say a little bit more about daniel boone in just a minute, but hold that thought. just to kind of talk quickly about the war experience in central kentucky. the various communities of central kentuc

2013 when moffitt and her has been all over chip north that were stabbed and killed in their davis home. daniel was only 15 years old at the time of the killing. he was convicted and sentenced to 52 years to life in prison for the crime. and what he's been doing for the past 8 years is honing his skill. and i hate i hate to think that he has the capacity to do it again. but he's already said he wanted in about 2 weeks. marsh will have a hearing at the california court of appeals to see if he can be released next year when he turns 25 senate bill 1391, passed back in 2018 allows convicted juveniles of most violent crimes to be eligible for release and rehabilitation at the age of 25. we had tried to just get the the bill vetoed. we did not want it to go into. >> to action. >> the couple's family is calling on california lawmakers to make changes to this law to make sure marsh his conviction and sent his stance keeping him behind bars. >> this is going to happen to somebody else. if he gets up, it's guaranteed that you will do it. it's what he thrives on what he lives for and wild. rice has hope

daniel boone. let me dispel to myths right now. one he didn't die at the alamo that was davierockett, and, two, he hated coonskin caps. he was an average size man for his era, he was 5'7", 5'8". all of his cousins were gigantic. 6'2", 6'3", 6'4". daniel always thought he was short. and he felt wearing a coonskin cap made him look shorter. so he always wore a tall hunter's cap. another thing that really jumped out about us and, once again, keeping in mind that this is not so much a biography of daniel boone but a biography of an era and we're using daniel boone as our guide, is that the man was just everywhere. everything that happened, every big historical event either boone or his family was there. now he was also a man out of his time. he did not believe the indians were heathens, were savages. and when i say that he had a 21st century sensibilities, it came as a bit of a shock to tom and i. and i think tom is much more arrow diet at explaining why that is than i am. so if you don't mind, tom -- they probably don't know what i'm talking about so i'm leaving it up to you to c

it is weird because daniel boone and davey crockette are generations apart. right? davy crockette was at the alamo. can anybody place this date and time? when was the battle of the alamo? 1840s? we are talking about 1775. this is when -- this is when daniel bonino's singest most famous act of pioneering took place. he led a party of settlers in the wake of doesn't moore's war through the cumberland gap and into central kentucky. and one of the first towns founded in central kentucky was boones borrow. it was founded in 1775. it is weird to think of daniel boone as a revolutionary war hero, right? his most famous act occurred before the united states even existed. it's fascinating that we don't -- you know n the popular imagination, we don't place him in time here because we don't think of the american revolution as a pioneering era. but the american revolution is the first pioneering era and the first intrepid western explorers, slash, occupiers, swung into action in the revolution, and in kentucky. i want to say a little bit more about daniel boone in just a minute. but

daniel boone one. he did not die at the alamo. that was davy crockett and two he hated coon skin caps. he was a average size man for his ear. he was five seven five eight, but all his cousins were gigantic man, six two six three six four daniel always thought he was sure and he felt wearing a coon skin. cat made him look shorter. so he always wear a tall hunters cap. and but another thing that really jumped out about us and once again keeping in mind that this is not so much a biography of daniel boone, but the biography of an era as and we're using daniel boone as our guide. is that the man was just everywhere? everything that happened every big historical event either boone or his family was there now daniel boone was also a man out of his time. he did not believe that the indians were heathens that they were savages and when i say that he had 21st century sensibilities. it came as a bit of a shock to tom and i and i think tom is much more erudite at explaining why that is than i am so if you don't mind tom you want to tell him one of they probably don't know what i'm talking about.
