Will Americans REALLY Get Trump's $5K Checks? + The CIA Officer Who Hunted Bin Laden - Sept 14 Hr 1

Published 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Description


Pags digs deeper into President Trump's $5,000 "dividend" promise as Speaker Mike Johnson tries to explain how it could actually happen. Congress would have to approve the payments, and Pags asks the question everyone wants answered: Could Americans really get these checks? Then former CIA officer Gary Berntsen joins Pags for Part 1 of an incredible look back at the hunt for Osama bin Laden after 9/11. Berntsen led CIA operations against al-Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan and was on the ground during the battle of Tora Bora, where bin Laden ultimately escaped. Did America have an opportunity to get bin Laden years earlier? Why did he escape at Tora Bora? And why did it ultimately take nearly a decade after 9/11 to find him? Pags and Berntsen dig into the questions that still surround one of the biggest manhunts in American history.
