Extra: A Gold Star Dad's Demand For Answers On Abbey Gate

from The Fox News Rundown · host FOX News Podcasts

President Donald Trump shocked many on Tuesday night during his address to Congress when he broke the news that the ISIS-K terrorist responsible for the 2021 Abbey Gate bombing was arrested and being brought to the United States to face justice. The bombing that took place during America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan killed 13 U.S. troops, including Lance Corporal Jared Schmitz. Mark Schmitz, Jared’s father, joined FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony to discuss the news, how he found out before this week’s primetime speech, and why he says the terrorist's arrest brings him closer to the closure he needs. He describes why he felt let down by the Biden- Harris Administration and is happy to see the new Trump administration looking into Abbey Gate and the U.S.’s botched exit from Afghanistan. Mark also told the story of his son Jared, and how he is now honoring his memory and the memory of other Americans killed that day by helping America veterans. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Gold Star father Mark Schmitz, allowing you to hear more about Lance Corporal Jared Schmitz and the questions surrounding the deadly bombing of Abbey Gate.
