Today’s episode features Matthieu Aikins, an award winning journalist and reporter who covered the war in Afghanistan and the subsequent refugee crisis.

In this conversation, we consider both his reporting from Kabul after the fall of the Afghan government as well as the plight of refugees as they flee the country and the Taliban.

As a child in Afghanistan, Qais Munhazim says their queerness was something they were allowed to embrace. For many other queer and trans Afghans, Qais suggests it's a similar story. Still, the Taliban's recent return to power has left the fates of women, trans and queer people in question. On this week's episode, Qais helps us learn what everyday life holds for LGBTQ+ Afghans, how the world's perception of the country is often tainted and what it's like to move from a queer life in Afghanistan to one in America.

As people across the United States watch the debacle in Afghanistan, there's virtually unanimous agreement on two points. First, no American who wants to come home should be left behind. Second, we must ensure the safety of the Afghans who helped us. But given the frenzied haste with which the Biden administration is flying tens of thousands of Afghans into the country, hard questions are in order. How carefully are these new arrivals being vetted? 

It's been reported that some of the new arrivals have turned up on terror watch lists. One man flown into America, reportedly works for ISIS. 

It would be a tragedy if our commitment to the safety of our Afghan friends were exploited by terrorists and enabled by the incompetence of our own government. What we've seen of the Biden administration's ineptitude or worse, both in Afghanistan and on our Southern border hardly inspires confidence. 

It's time for some answers on exactly who's coming here. America's security depends on it.

In this week's National Crawford Roundtable podcast the guys share updates regarding the situation in Afghanastan and COVID-19 vaccinations.  In the first half of the podcast we look at the shocking reality that we have officially left behind in Afghanastan hundreds, possibly thousands or American citizens and Afghan allies who are now in danger for their lives. How should they be handled?  We'll also discuss the 13 U.S. servicemembers killed by ISIS-K, and the distressing news that they are now armed with $83 billion dollars in military arsenal.  Should the U.S. or our Allies return to Afghanistan at some point?  If not, how do we stop another 9-11 type attack?  In the second half of the podcast we will discuss what is going on with COVID-19 and the vaccination debate.  Are the numbers regarding infection rates and deaths being released true or skewed?  And what about the vitriol between the vaccinated and non-vaccinated--what is really driving the division?
