Listen Later

Two explosions at the Kabul airport yesterday left at least 100 people dead -- including 13 U.S. service members -- and 150 more wounded. The blasts came from at least two suicide bombers, and The Islamic State has claimed responsibility.

  • Plus, the last marine to escape Saigon in 1975 on the evacuation crisis in Afghanistan.

    • Guests: Axios' Dave Lawler and Russell Contreras.
