Today, we'll begin with a little bit of good news: an update on the California recall, where a third poll has shown Gov. Gavin Newsom in danger of losing, with the most likely replacement -- once again -- talk radio's Larry Elder.
We'll then delve into the Afghanistan debacle, running through some clips of Biden telling America that none of what is happening will happen, plus Secretary of State Tony Blinken being -- well, Blinken.
Special guests:
Sen. Ron Johnson -- on Afghanistan, infrastructure, and the debt ceiling fight
TX GOP Chair Matt Rinaldi -- on the border, the fleebaggers, and coronavirus
Katie Gorka -- on parental activism booming as kids prepare to return to school
Graham Allen -- on Afghanistan and his primary challenge against Tom Rice
NY GOP Chair Nick Langworthy -- on Andrew Cuomo and eviction moratoria
Patrick Courrielche -- on Red Pilled America and Hollywood metoo hypocrisy
