Pretty much all of the prominent voices who supported the Iran War assured us it would be over by now. None of them will admit they were wrong. Even less will they admit that their initial assurances were based on nothing but their own wishcasting. This whole shitshow has been an enormous waste of time and resources and our country has not benefited from it at all. Its advocates have moved the goal posts repeatedly and have even to this day refused to clearly articulate what constitutes a victory and how we’ll know that it’s been achieved.
Friend: marriage oof, same woman everyday for the rest of your life.
Me: You’ve clearly never been married cuz she’s a different person every single day
Hello Joe Rogan — Over $40 million is flown to Afghanistan weekly. This has been going on since the Taliban’s takeover during the Biden Administration. Pallets of U.S. cash are flown by chartered jets into Afghanistan. It’s then auctioned by the Taliban’s Central Bank and converted into Afghani currency.
The converted cash is then distributed to local and international NGOs. All NGOs operating in Afghanistan are licensed by the Taliban. They pay taxes and fees to the Taliban. Their employees are vetted by the Taliban’s intelligence. The NGOs purchase goods and services only from a list of pre-approved Taliban businesses.
Areas with Taliban supporters receive multiple rounds of aid, while the anti-Taliban communities get little to none. We have even documented multiple cases of U.S. cash and aid reaching the families of Taliban fighters and suicide bombers.
We exposed the cash shipments to the Taliban with the help of @ShawnRyan762. It led to the No Tax Dollars For Terrorists Act introduced by @RepTimBurchett. This legislation passed the House on June 23, 2025, and almost a year later, the U.S. Senate and Senator @JohnThune have still not voted on it.
Our legislation (H.R. 260) will make it mandatory to report all cash shipments to Afghanistan and then defund the Taliban. They are a terrorist group. They don’t deserve a penny.
Thank you for having @TimBurchett on your show. He’s the real deal. God bless.

@ShawnRyan762 Thank you for this. My 75 year old mother is suffering from late stage dementia & my 57 year old sister was diagnosed with frontal temporal lobe dementia 18 months ago. I’ve been researching these as much as possible and really learned a lot during the entirety of this interview
