Summary

President Biden is facing multiple crises in the U.S. and abroad. From the Taliban taking over Afghanistan in less than 11 days after the withdrawal of American troops, the coronavirus pandemic that continues to surge across the nation, inflation affecting the U.S. economy and our southern border being overwhelmed with migrants. Former White House Press Secretary under President George W. Bush, and FOX News contributor Ari Flesicher weighs in on the President's handling of Afghanistan and the overlapping of domestic crises facing the Biden administration. The U.S. is dealing with a surge in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations due to the spread of the Delta variant. On Wednesday, Federal Health officials announced plans to begin administering a COVID-19 booster shot to all those eligible starting in September. While the nation battles the latest wave of the pandemic, states, cities, and private businesses are also putting forth plans and programs, many of which include proof of negative COVID tests or COVID vaccinations, and mandating masks. Professor of Public Interest Law at George Washington University and Fox News Contributor Jonathan Turley joins to break down the latest legal challenges we are seeing in the U.S. in response to mandates, New York City restaurants challenging the city's vaccine passport program, why some private businesses are able to legally mandate vaccines while public institutions may provide more freedoms and how the Texas governor has prevailed in his challenge to mask mandates. Plus, commentary by former White House speechwriter and FOX News contributor Marc Thiessen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
