House Probe Of Afghanistan Exit Details “Catastrophic Failures”

All Episodes

September 9, 2024 • 35 mins

The House Foreign Affairs Committee has released an extensive report on the failures of the Afghanistan withdrawal. In the report, the investigation found that proper plans were not taken to secure the Kabul airport before the bombing at Abbey Gate that left 13 American service members dead, with dozens of others injured. Now the Committee is seeking testimony from Secretary of State Antony Blinken to get answers about the report. Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Congressman Michael McCaul (R-TX-10) joins the Rundown to discuss the contents of the report, who he believes needs to be held accountable for the failures in Afghanistan, and how Vice President Harris is now trying to distance herself from the Biden administration’s policies. Live Nation-Ticketmaster has been under scrutiny for years following several ticketing snafus, including the Taylor Swift Eras Tour debacle two summers ago. However, the entertainment company's problems are more significant than just unhappy customers. The Department of Justice is suing Ticketmaster and Live Nation over monopolistic practices. And now, the United Kingdom is also considering legal action after frustrated fans cried foul while trying to snag tickets to the upcoming Oasis reunion tour. Mark Meador, President of the Fan Fairness Coalition and partner at Kressin Meador LLC, joins to discuss Ticketmaster's overhauling market control, why tickets are no longer affordable, and what Congress can do to break up what he calls a monopoly.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
