On this episode, Sean and Rachel are joined by retired Navy SEAL Rob O'Neill, where they reflect on the one-year anniversary of the United States' withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Later, FOX News National Correspondent Bill Melugin joins the podcast to give an update from the Southern border. Bill talks about how drug cartels have destabilized Mexico and the reasons why immigrants are venturing to the U.S. in record numbers.
