After two decades, President Biden completed the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, officially ending the war and leaving the country in control of the Taliban.
Iraq war veteran and advocate Paul Rieckhoff joined Errol to explain why he thinks Biden's handling of the withdrawal has been a debacle and why the U.S. is responsible for helping the Afghan people left behind.
And as we approach the 20th anniversary of the September 11th terror attacks, he discussed his experience as a first responder in Lower Manhattan and explained why he first decided to enlist in the National Guard.
