## Resource

The United States’ military prowess has been on display over the last several months during operations in Iran. But are our assets ready for other potential conflicts around the globe? Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy joins FOX News White House Correspondent Aishah Hasnie to discuss the nation’s military preparedness, whether the U.S. is ready for a major war, and why he believes that investing in our defense now will save us money and lives later. A new investigative report reveals the DEA allowed fentanyl-laced pills to be distributed—rather than seizing them—in an effort to catch the "bigger fish" behind the sale and trafficking of the fatal drug. Associated Press investigative reporter Jim Mustian joins the FOX News Rundown to discuss what DEA whistleblowers told him, the fallout from the investigation, and whether these high-stakes tactics were successful in getting dealers off the street. Joe Concha, FOX News Contributor, does commentary. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
