Summary

The ambush of two National Guard members near the White House has intensified scrutiny of the vetting process for Afghan evacuees brought to the US under the Biden administration’s Allies Welcome program. Former FBI investigator Bill Daly joins to discuss the challenges of vetting individuals from war-torn countries with limited infrastructure, contrasts between special refugee program screenings with standard immigration procedures, and the risk of post-arrival radicalization through online influence or ties to home communities, even among those not previously radicalized. Later, FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram joins to discuss historical precedents for a mid-Congress majority shift, the impact of sports-betting scandals on Capitol Hill, and ongoing debates over the Affordable Care Act and U.S. healthcare policy.
