to invade, they will pay a very heavy price. >> mr. secretary, i just had onon seth molton, which he said some of these items, there's not enough time to train the ukrainians. of course you don't need training for cars, trucks, bulldozers but some of the more sophisticated equipment could fall into the hands of russians. >> my view is that it's much better to provide the weapons that they are asking for, provide the assistance they are asking for with the hope they can learn to make it. i think the better alternative is to continue to support them in every way possible, continue to reenforce our forces,
the large majority of the people in isis-k had bailed out of being in the taliban as isis-k came further down the country. they had been in the taliban and they went awal and joined isis-k. the taliban would like to see us get rid of isis-k if we can help them do it. >> we're doing a deep dive on that later in the show. it is important what you bring up. i want to ask you before you go, democratic congressman seth molton made an unannounced visit this past week, both were veterans, served in the middle east. here's what he said on "morning joe" about the visit. >> the most extraordinary thing i've seen in my life, willie, is what was happening at abbey gate where the troops were killed. it is an impossible task we have given them, to sift through a sea of humanity. thousands and thousands of afghans, try to pluck out our
millions have served, and it's important that we provide a place for these folks. mike and i have seen over the last couple of years the transformative power of space and the ability to bring people together for reunion for contemplation for kind of understanding that service experience and that's what this is about, is providing now two generations of americans whose lives have been defined by these conflicts that sense of place, that opportunity to come together to think about what that experience meant to them. >> and congressman gallagher, i know you mentioned this is bipartisan. i think this is really important that you two did this together, spearheaded this. and why -- how did you? just tell us a little bit about the process about how you decided to make this effort together? >> well, in the last congress, i was fortunate enough to work with a democrat and my friend representative seth molton to get the initial piece of legislation which made the global war on terrorism except from restrictive language in the
