STEVE CORTES (HOST): But as Biden often does, he found a way to create carnage here, too. Instead of a methodical and a precise exit strategy, he and his feckless generals — they tried an ad hoc, seat-of-the-pants approach that backfired massively — embarrassing our great nation and inviting future aggression from our adversaries, especially China.

Making matters even worse, he now plans to import the carnage of Afghanistan into the United States, inviting hordes of Afghanis to migrate to America — unvetted masses from a war-torn hellscape on the other side of the world, with almost no cultural similarities to America. Afghan refugees — let's be honest about this — have been a scourge in Europe. Why would we expect different outcomes here? The Afghan war was bad enough when it was being waged in Kandahar. Now, Joe Biden wants to bring it to Kentucky? 

Cortes also misspoke about Afghans.

Afghans are the people

Afghanis are the currency
