When President Trump fired Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Twitter, he used the same tweet to name current CIA Director Mike Pompeo as his choice to fill the top job at the State Department and current Deputy CIA Director Gina Haspel to step up into Pompeo’s role. Haspel’s nomination raised questions on both sides of the aisle because of her involvement in running a CIA black site in Thailand. Many members of the intelligence community defended Haspel and many senators have not raised serious objections to her nomination. However, Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is actively and vocally opposing Haspel’s nomination. The senator said the reports of her conduct at the CIA black site makes her unacceptable as a candidate to run the CIA. Senator Paul joins Michael and Rick to explain why he thinks Haspel isn't suitable for the job. Eric Bolling, a former Fox News host and popular conservative political commentator, lost his son to an accidental overdose. He has since become one of the leading voices in the fight against the opioid epidemic. Mr. Bolling talks to the guys about the president’s recently-unveiled plan to combat the opioid epidemic and makes a personal plea for how we can all can get involved and help.
