John interviews Gayle Tzemach Lemmon, a best-selling author and an adjunct senior fellow for women and foreign policy at the Council on Foreign Relations. John and Gayle discuss her newest book, “The Daughters of Kobani,” which tells the story of the all-female Kurdish militia that helped defeat ISIS in Syria. They also talk about Afghanistan, and what the Taliban’s victory could mean for both the Biden administration and Afghanistan's neighbors. (This interview was conducted before the fall of Kabul.)
