Speaking of Afghanistan, the worst and most embarrassing day in the history of our country, in my opinion. We left 13 dead soldiers, 47 obliterated, just obliterated the arms, the legs, the face. Left people behind and we left $85 billion worth of equipment behind for the Taliban to use as it sees fit. And they're selling a lot of it because they don't need 700,000 guns and rifles. They don't need 72,000 armor plated vehicles. They're one of the largest sellers of military equipment in the world right now. They're selling our equipment because we said, they said, by the way, would have never happened with me. Abdul would never have done that. But they said, we didn't have anybody shot after my conversations with the leader of the Taliban. Zero shot in 18 months. We had nobody lost in 18 months. He knew that he was not going to do that. I knew that. But now you look at what's happened and it's back. You know, we would have kept Bagram. That's the big air, the big air base, not because of Afghanistan, but because it's located one hour away where from where China makes its nuclear weapons. So it's one hour away. And we had it one of the biggest air bases in the world. We built it for billions and billions of dollars many years ago, got the biggest runways, the biggest everything, and we just walked away from it, gave it to them. And now China is occupying it. And I thought that the scene a few days ago of the third anniversary, they call it the defeat of America was one of the ugliest scenes that I've seen on television in a long time. I've seen some pretty bad when some of you were witnessing some pretty bad ones.
