Summary
Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-WI) discusses the threat that refugees fleeing from Afghanistan pose to the national security of the United States, saying that when the Wisconsin delegation went to visit refugee camp at Fort McCoy last week, out of 10,000 people being housed there, ‘none, not one, were on a special immigration visa’ meaning that ‘Homeland Security is not doing their job in terms of vetting’, a concern that Members of Congress had expressed before the Afghanistan Withdrawal. The Congressman goes on to explain that the ‘Biden administration, the State Department are not doing any checks on social media’, explaining that is ‘the number one places you can find what peoples true beliefs are’.
And an Exclusive interview with Former Congressman Lee Hamilton (D-IN) who discusses the importance of bipartisan legislation and working with different parties across the aisle as, nothing of “lasting value’ can be accomplished inside ‘our complicated government unless it is done in a bi-partisan way’. He also speaks on the Afghanistan withdrawal saying, with all of the problems going on in the country currently, ‘leadership needs to sit down and spell out precisely’ what is in the ‘best interest of the United States’.

| 0:00.0 | Hello America and welcome to a new edition of John Solomon reports. It's Thursday, September |
| 0:12.8 | 9th. What a show we have for you. We've got an exclusive interview with Congressman Tom |
| 0:18.3 | Tiffany of the State of Wisconsin. He has been at the forefront of raising concerns about |
| 0:24.0 | the way the vetting of Afghan refugees is being conducted. As we now know, it went from |
| 0:28.7 | there being vetted in Afghanistan before they get put on a plane to now. They're getting |
| 0:33.8 | vetted on the back end after they're already in the United States. Congressman Tiffany |
| 0:38.0 | has raised some pretty big concerns. He's going to tell us about a new whole vetting process |
| 0:43.8 | that he has uncovered by talking to frontline agents and frontline military folks. You're |
| 0:49.0 | going to want to hear this. This one's going to shock you when you hear something really |
| 0:52.3 | basic in the security system. Also, there are rumblings of a communicable disease outbreak |
| 0:57.3 | measles in his state at Fort McCoy in Wisconsin, where thousands of Afghan refugees have |
| 1:03.2 | already been moved. We're going to find out if that's true. And then before we head into |
| 1:08.7 | the 9-11 weekend, I'm going to play a little snippet of one of my interviews with Congressman |
| 1:14.3 | Lee Hamilton. If you remember him, Democrat from Indiana, one of the most influential Democrats |
| 1:19.7 | of his generation. And he was the co-chairman, along with Republican Governor Tom Keene of |
| 1:25.6 | New Jersey of the 9-11 commission. In this Saturday, we're going to have a special edition |
| 1:32.8 | of this podcast. My life was forever changed on 9-11. My family has many connections to |
| 1:39.1 | 9-11. I lost one of my good friends on the plane that smashed into the Pentagon, a woman |
| 1:46.7 | named Barbara Olson, who was a great Senate investigator. The wife of then solicitor general |
| 1:51.9 | of the United States Justice Department official Ted Olson. And Ted Olson is going to be one |
| 1:56.6 | of our guests on that show. My dad was a police chief in eastern Connecticut, which lost several |
