President Biden had ordered all US troops be removed even as key Afghan provinces quickly fell to the Taliban, and today Afghans are once again living under the Taliban’s repressive rule. Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) joins the podcast to explain how the disorganized U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan destabilized the region, reports of mass hunger and potential terror resurgence under Taliban rule, and her concern that America is not holding the Taliban accountable as the Biden administration promised they would.
