Oh, excuse me. Turkey A. Building, buckling, him to, and Walmart cutting prices. It's all coming up, and Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, the president is at the NATO summit held in Turkey. And he said he will consider allowing Turkey to by American F-35 fighter jets. The president said we have a better relationship with Turkey.

And Turkey's been in many ways, much more loyal than other countries that we think would be loyal. So it's certainly something we would consider. He is really driving home to the point that Italy and England and Germany in particular were not helpful during the war against Iran. He said, I was very disappointed with NATO. And frankly, if it weren't held in Turkey, where my friend happens to be a very strong leader, a very strong person, it's possible that I wouldn't have attended. Italy turned us down

and Germany turned us down and France turned us down. It's okay, but we're spending hundreds of billions of dollars and they're not there for us. We've always been there for them.

This was starting at 8 a.m. yesterday. The fear officials said is a partial collapse, which would be internal, they think.

A full collapse onto the street, they say, is less likely. But when authorities arrived and they were examining the scene, the building continued to move. A team of six people were able to enter the building in around 3 p.m. yesterday to determine if it was safe enough to begin shoring efforts. Graham Platner might be out of the Maine Senate race.

As I have been reporting, most Americans love their country and believe in its nobility.

That is very bad news for the progressive cadres who despise America. You saw them in Newport Beach, California. where looting and other criminal behavior broke out on the fourth. Newport is an affluent community south of the Los Angeles airport. The radicals targeted the beachside town because of its prosperity. You can easily gather them on social media and say, we're going to Newport to cause trouble, and then 400 people show up. Soon, federal and local police agencies are going to have to crack down on

those trying to overthrow our system. Lincoln had to do it. So did Franklin Roosevelt to some extent. You cannot reason with the socialist, communist, communist movement. Sedition will have to be confronted, or there's going to be big trouble here. And I mean big trouble. I have had quite enough of the destroyers and their media allies. they need to be confronted with the boundaries of the law.

The President can really lay wood to these people if they continue to gouge us. And he should. Norman, concierge, remember, I don't like Chuck Schumer. This is off my Sunday column. I hope you read it. Okay, never have.

But he could at least hang on to his dignity by being loyal to his brand and quick pandering to the radical communists. He's not going to do that. He's like Biden. They don't believe in anything. They don't. Arthur, concierge, remember the Democrats' mantra

for the past several years is saving our democracy. When you hear them all saying it over and over again, you start believing it. Not me. I don't believe. They don't have any solutions to problems. Can you believe that?

Saving our democracy. I'm a bunch of bull. Okay? I'm not buying it. In a moment, something you might not know. Here we go. Someone's already claiming this is our year. Someone else said that last year, too.

Five years ago today, President Joe Biden announced the withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan. Just five weeks later, that country was in the hands of the hated Taliban. Here's a story behind the fall of Kabul. President George W. Bush ordered the invasion of Afghanistan in the aftermath of the 9-11 terror attacks. The mission was simple. Kill al-Qaeda terrorist, eliminate the Taliban leaders who gave them shelter and sanctuary.

The operation quickly turned into a quagmire. After 20 years of combat, 20 years, President Biden vowed to remove all U.S. troops. On August 15, 2021, two weeks before American soldiers were set to withdraw, the Taliban entered Kabul. The U.S. VAC government collapsed. The country's president vanished with a whole load of money. Thousands fled the capital city. As a disaster unfolded on live TV, President Biden hailed the operation as a, quote, extraordinary success. The extraordinary success of this mission was due to the incredible skill, bravely, and selfless courage of the United States military.

in our diplomats and intelligence professionals. Ten days after Biden's address, a suicide bomber killed 170 civilians and 13 members of the U.S. military at Kabul International Airport. And here's something else you might not know. The Pentagon lost an immediate investigation into the botched withdrawal of U.S. troops. A special inspector general concluded the mission was doomed from the start. states his report, quote, The withdrawal was abrupt and uncoordinated. The U.S. simply handed Afghanistan to the Taliban.

The operation destroyed the morale of Afghan soldiers and police. In total, America's war in Afghanistan claimed the lives of 100,000 Afghans, 3,800 U.S. contractors, and 2,500 service members. little was accomplished unless you believe that giving Taliban all of our weapons was an accomplishment back in a moment.
