This week we dig into the "success" of the withdrawal from Afghanistan. From Trump's deal that Biden claims he was bound to follow to some boots on the ground trying to actually make a difference while the government flounders. As well as some of the repercussions already surfacing from how we handled this.  Australia realizes it can't keep addressing covid the way it has been. North Korea is trying to be relevant again. The CDC is going to study gun deaths and violence again. The Department of Education is investigating states for restricting people's right to be forced to do things they don't want to do. And a political ad that could very well be the nail in the coffin of any Democrat seeking election the next few years. All this, and more in this week's emotion filled episode.
 
Thanks for all the support and such, keep it up and share the love with friends. We really do appreciate it.
