The Tennessee Star Report with Michael Patrick Leahy – broadcast on Nashville’s Talk Radio 98.3 and 1510 WLAC weekdays from 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. – host Leahy welcomed political strategist Steve Bannon, who was the White House’s chief strategist during President Donald Trump’s administration, to the newsmaker line to discuss his new idea, announced on The War Room yesterday, regarding Trump being voted in as Speaker of the House.
Bannon: You can’t get a straight story, you don’t know how many Americans are in Afghanistan, you don’t know how we’re going to get them out. Remember, those Americans, those 15,000 Americans, which they’re kind of admitting, because the Wall Street Journal, other people, are forcing them to admit, they’re essentially hostages. The only way we can get those people out is the tender mercies of the Taliban. So that’s where the greatest power in the history of the world is now; dependent upon a medieval regime to allow its citizens to come out. But at the same time, this radical regime in Washington, is bringing out Afghanis and taking them to the United States completely unvetted.
