Summary

Last weekend, Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad was overthrown by rebel forces, marking the end of the family's decades-long rule over the country and a blow to Iran's proxy network. But after the dismantling of terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, what is the status of the Islamic Republic in the Middle East today? Senior Adviser at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies Richard Goldberg discusses the future of the Iranian regime and the present risks within the region. As Congress lays the groundwork to avoid a government shutdown before December 20th, many of President-elect Trump's Cabinet nominees are also in Washington, having meetings with lawmakers that could be key to securing their confirmation. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram weighs in on what he believes Congress' next steps will be to fund the government and how meetings appear to be going for key Cabinet nominees like Pete Hegseth and former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard.
