Summary

After three U.S. soldiers were killed during a drone attack on a base located in Jordan, the United States carried out retaliatory airstrikes against Iranian targets in Syria and Iraq Friday evening. Amid increasing global tensions, questions remain as to whether our military is prepared and capable to handle a war in the Middle East. Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense and Co-founder of the Marathon Initiative Eldridge Colby examines whether a greater conflict can be avoided. Later, he reflects on Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's health emergency and how it reflects on our military readiness. This week, the House Homeland Security Committee approved two articles of impeachment against DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, accusing the Biden administration's top border and immigration official of overlooking and refusing to enforce federal laws. Meanwhile, tensions build as lawmakers struggle to agree on a bipartisan border bill, a bill that they've waited for since December. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram shares the possible next steps to all unanswered congressional questions. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
