Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show Podcast.

Welcome back to the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. Thank you everybody for being here with us. We have

updates for you in real time here about the fall of Kabul to the Taliban, the fall of all of

Afghanistan to the Talibs. And we've got our friend Sean Parnell joining us now. Sean is a

former U.S. Army Airborne Ranger and New York Times best-selling author. He served in the
