Summary

This week, President Biden's top military officials, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley and Commander of U.S. Central Command General Kenneth McKenzie testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee about the U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan. Both Gen. Milley and Gen. McKenzie testified to lawmakers that they recommended maintaining a U.S. troop presence in Afghanistan, contradicting President Biden's earlier claims in August that he was never advised to leave a small military presence in the region. Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) joins to weigh in on the latest revelation regarding Afghanistan troops. The Senator also discusses Congress's battle to get President Biden's domestic agenda passed, including the bipartisan infrastructure bill and if he thinks it will happen. Plus, he explains why Republicans won't help Democrats raise the debt ceiling despite fears that the U.S. could default. President Biden's economic agenda has been put in jeopardy by congressional Democrats, with the clash between moderate and progressives within the party creating uncertainty about the feasibility of the President's $3.5 trillion spending plan. House progressives have threatened to tank the bipartisan infrastructure bill unless the moderates in the Senate approve the multi-trillion-dollar plan. President Biden has canceled his scheduled trip to Chicago this week in order to meet with Democrat lawmakers to resolve the split. Co-founder and President of RealClearPolitics Tom Bevan joins to break down the obstacles President Biden faces in passing his agenda, the impact the Democrats' small majority in Congress has had on relations within the party, and why the President's approval numbers are slipping. Plus, commentary by FOX News Senior Meteorologist Janice Dean. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
