The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley defended his behavior during the last days of the Trump administration, including a phone conversation with his Chinese counterpart, which was intended to assure him the U.S. was not about to launch a military attack. Gen. Milley told members of the Senate Armed Services Committee he “personally informed both Secretary of State Pompeo and White House Chief of Staff Meadows about the call.” Independent Sen. Angus King is a member of that committee and questioned Milley. He tells AC360 he was “doing his job, and he may well have prevented a war.” Plus, the search for Gabby Petito's fiancé, Brian Laundrie continues as CNN has learned Laundrie and his parents stayed at a campground about 75 miles away from their home in early September. The camping trip was during the window of time that Laundrie returned to Florida without Petito and she was later reported missing. CNN National Correspondent Randi Kaye gives AC360 the latest on the investigation. Airdate: September 28, 2021 Guests: Sen.

Afghanistan: A Background Briefing This is the first podcast Briefing, focusing upon something in the headlines. I would often do briefings such as this in a class, when some major event occurred. Some of those classroom briefings were fairly short, maybe 15 minutes. Others would last over an hour. Students liked these. The briefings linked analysis with the headlines. The goal of this podcast is to give you some context for what is happening in Afghanistan. My version of context starts in the 1840s and extends up to the afternoon of August 26, 2021 when I recorded these thoughts. As I recorded this, I had been listening to reports of the bombings in the Kabul airport where American soldiers were conducting evacuations. Someone else might have started context with Alexander the Great. I think simple explanations often go wrong. History and politics and world struggle are too complex to be understood by a single explanation. It's the oil. It's the Zionists. It's racism. It's the military-industrial complex. Please. Spare me. If everything can be explained by one thing then you are listening to ideology, not insight or analysis. I remember hearing someone say, “The Arab world makes a serious mistake when they try to understand what the Americans are doing. They assume we are smarter than we are.” Afghanistan is not a part of the Arab world, but the point is still valid. Sometimes our leaders are just not very bright. Sometimes they get fixated on some way of thinking and just don't let their minds open up to alternate possibilities. Sometimes they get locked into a policy and can't figure out a way to escape from it. Sometimes they get charmed by an advisor and pay too much attention to that person's explanations and suggestions. Sometimes they are just afraid of the voters. I hope you will come out of this podcast with more questions than answers. Even as I am posting it, I am second guessing myself. Have fun, and thanks for listening. Update on September1. All of our troops are out and nearly 122,000 people were evacuated. The war is over. Bravo! Some terms and names used, in case you don't recognize them.

The House announces a probe of Pompeo's RNC speech. The House opens an investigation into Pompeo's convention speech. Rep. Castro says it is "likely unprecedented" and "may also be illegal." Secretary of State Pompeo to address RNC in support of Trump goes against precedent. Trump is set to appear "multiple times" at RNC tonight after grim warnings on first night about the Democrats despite Trump's vow to be "uplifting." Ratings for night one of RNC are down nearly 30 percent vs. the night one of 2016 RNC. Also, there are fewer viewers than night one of this year's DNC.

On Sunday, President Trump announced that some 1,000 U. S. troops would be withdrawn from Kurdish-controlled regions of Syria. Lawmakers, policy experts, and the media—liberal and conservative, Democrat and Republican—immediately reacted, condemning the announcement as unwise. While the President sees the move as fulfilling a campaign promise of getting us out of what he called “ridiculous, endless wars,” most others see it as a cruel and dangerous betrayal of the Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces and their Christian and Yazidis allies. The Kurds will now have to defend themselves against NATO-member Turkey, which views them as terrorists and wants them out of Syria. In fact, the President announced that Turkish forces would be “moving forward” into the region. So, who exactly are the Kurds? They are a minority ethnic and mostly Islamic group in portions of Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria. They have been loyal and effective allies to the U. S. in the fight against ISIS. The areas they control in Syria have become last-resort havens for persecuted Yazidis and Christians. With U. S. troops out of northeastern Syria, the Kurds—and the Yazidis and Christians they protect—will be fully exposed, and therefore in grave peril. They will be forced to turn their attention and their fighters away from ISIS to confront the existential threat from Turkey. The resulting vacuum could lead to a resurgent and emboldened ISIS, much as President Obama's unwise and impulsive withdraw from Iraq led to a re-organizing of our enemies there. And there's an additional problem: The Kurds currently hold thousands of ISIS prisoners. The Administration assumes that Turkey will take control of them, but it's far from certain if and how that would happen if Turkey launches an all-out assault on the Kurds. Some 11,000 Kurds have given their lives in the fight against ISIS already. They need and deserve U. S. support. To withdraw that support now sends a message around the world about the U.S.'s reliability as an ally. The President has responded to criticism of the withdrawal by tweeting he would “totally destroy and obliterate the Turkish economy” if it does something the President considers off-limits. As Mindy Belz pointed out on the BreakPoint podcast today, his threat points to the success U.S. sanctions had on Turkey in securing the release of Pastor Andrew Brunson last year. It's not clear such sanctions would be as successful today. For their part, Turkey has rebuffed the President's threat and is prepared to strike the Kurds. For all the reasons Evangelicals have had to applaud the Trump Administration over the past two years, from nominating conservative federal judges and Supreme Court justices to defending religious liberty to protecting the unborn, I have to say this decision is not one of them. Evangelical Christians, who are key to the President's reelection prospects, must make it clear that we expect the Administration to do all it can to protect persecuted Christians wherever it can. The largest towns in the region, Qamishli and Hasakha, are mainly Christian. Working in conjunction with Kurdish forces while protecting the world's most ancient Christian communities is something the U. S. must continue to do. Pulling U.S. troops out of northeastern Syria puts the lives our brothers and sisters in Christ at risk, not only at the hands of a potentially resurgent ISIS but also at the hands of our ostensible ally in Turkey. Christians must let the Administration know. Come to BreakPoint.org. We tell you how you can contact the White House, Secretary of State Pompeo's office, as well as your representative and senators in Congress. And today, on the BreakPoint podcast, Mindy Belz of WORLD Magazine fills out the complete picture about the region and why the President's announcement stunned so many.
