Episode #36: The Right Takeaway from Afghanistan

Jacob and Eric react to the highly pretentious and arrogant interview given to NBC’s Lester Holt by Michael Leroy Byrd, the Capitol Police officer who murdered unarmed Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt during the peaceful protests at the Capitol on January 6th. They explain how Byrd’s delusions of grandeur and smug satisfaction with murdering a White Trump supporter are only heightened by the increasing racial tensions in the era of Black Lives Matter, and an increasingly dangerous and out-of-touch Left that genuinely views Trump supporters as fascists. For some good news, they turn to the explosive viral video by investigative group Project Veritas exposing a Sacramento teacher who boasted about being a member of Antifa and indoctrinating his students, which subsequently got him fired. For the main topic, they dissect the numerous costs of the 20-year war in Afghanistan, and focus on some of the most outrageous and useless things that American taxpayer dollars were wasted on in America’s longest war.
