Summary

As the U.S. withdraws troops from Afghanistan, the Taliban has waged a insurgent campaign to defeat the Afghan government forces and take control of the region. Just one month ago defending this position, President Biden committed to staying out of the conflict, saying the U.S. had done enough to empower the Afghan military; however on Monday August 9th, Taliban militants captured their sixth provincial Afghan capital. The Taliban has scored multiple military victories in a short time and Afghan citizens have begun fleeing from their homes in what they expect to be an eventual Taliban takeover of their country. Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) an Afghanistan War veteran, joins to discuss why he believes President Biden is leaving the U.S. vulnerable by withdrawing troops from Afghanistan, what was accomplished in Afghanistan after 20 years of war, how Russia and China may take advantage of hostility in the region and why Taliban control creates a threat of terrorism in the West. There's been an uptick of unruly passengers disrupting airline flights across the U.S. forcing flight attendants to deal with both physical and verbal abuse. The Federal Aviation Administration says airlines have reported thousands of incidents this year, with three-quarters of them involving passengers who refuse to comply with the federal mask mandate. President of the Association of Flight Attendants, Sara Nelson discusses what else is contributing to these escalating incidents and why she and the FAA think the Department of Justice needs to get involved. Plus, commentary by New York Post Columnist, Karol Markowicz. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
