special correspondent stuart smith in moscow reports. >> reporter: withdrawals from afghanistan echot history. before the u.s., it was the soviets, who left in 1989-- ten years after they'd invaded on christmas eve, 1979. officially, they had been invited by the socialist afghan government to help fight the mujahideen and set up a 16th republic of the soviet union. partly, because soviet officials worried afghanistan's new leaders would start to forge closer ties with the united states. after a bloody decade and heavy soviet losses, troops withdrew. these paintings-- rendered by those who fought there-- are on display at russia's union of afghan veterans. here, members work to help fighters of moscow's old war, and pass on what they've learned to young russians. >> ( translated ): you see the words, “glory to the soldiers of the fatherland, glory to the sons of the motherland.” see-- this is how we left. and today, the americans just ran away, and that's it. >> reporter: andrey kuznetsov fought as a paratrooper for the soviet union. when he compares the recent american withdrawal to

stuart: okay. i thought our discussion of cryptos was far more interesting than our discussion of vaccine mandates. that was good stuff, rob smithul. rob, see you soon. >> have a good one. stuart: pay some attention to this one. the president has been using a fake white house set for some of his speeches. why is he doing that? lauren: so he can read the prompter without seeing the people the prompter. former president trump's senior advisor stephen miller says this. it allows him to read a script from face-on monitor without teleprompter glass that can be seen on camera. the set has fake windows, fake flowers. across the street from the white house f former president trump was called reality show president biden has to be the delusional president. a set with fake windows right across the street from the white house? stuart: can't see the tell -- teleprompter. >> come on. stuart: take the point, lauren. don't lay it on too thick there. check the markets, the dow is up 500 points, give or take a dozen points. nasdaq up 214. i think we better bring in gary kaltbaum. i'm very worried about inflation and i'm very worried about cold w

stuart: congressman jason smith is the ranking member of the house budget committee and joins me now.mfortable with any of this reckless are spending that we're doing. let's be honest with america. whether it's 3.5 trillion or if the they move it down to 1.5 trillion, there's a lot of budget gimmicks that they can do, stuart, where they can have the year sunset with, like, a year away instead of nine years away, where they can just change some new knobs, and that can drive it down from 3.5 trillion to 1 is.5. -- 1.5. let's give the example of the child tax credit. every year you take off it's $130 billion that can be saved so that they can put all the policies they want for a 1.5 trillion that they could a 3.5 trillion just by changing some dates. stuart: and then once the program, once a entitlement in place, the government's giving something away, you can never, ever take it back. i guess that's the theory. come in with a lower number, a lower time frame, get the entitlement program established and then plain sailing from there on out. you've got yourself a socialist society. is tha
