In August 2021, President Joe Biden removed U.S. troops from Afghanistan, saying he felt the country had accomplished its mission and that the war had "unclear objectives." The withdrawal was characterized as chaotic as America rushed to evacuate over 120,000 Americans and Afghan citizens. Now, some lawmakers in Congress fear that the Middle Eastern country is once again becoming a safe haven for terrorist organizations. Democratic Congressman Seth Moulton joins the podcast to discuss the consequences of the Afghan withdrawal, the threat of terror organizations rebuilding in the region and why the United States continues providing Afghanistan with aid.
The Biden administration recently proposed a revision to the Title IX rules, which would prevent schools and universities that receive federal funding from banning transgender students from competing in sports consistent with their gender identity. The Department of Education floated this proposal, angering both conservatives who believe this decision should be decided by the state and liberals who believe the rule does not go far enough in protecting trans rights. 12-time NCAA All-American swimmer and Independent Women's Forum spokeswoman, Riley Gaines joins the Rundown to discuss why the proposed changes to Title IX threaten equal opportunities for biological women in sports and the illuminating conversations she has been having with the LGBTQ community.
