Anchor and Executive Editor of Special Report on the Fox News Channel, Bret Baier weighs in on the Democrats’ infighting when it comes to passing the two spending bill, President Biden’s low poll numbers and how all of this will impact the 2022 midterms. Plus, Bret talks about his new book To Rescue the Republic: Ulysses S. Grant, the Fragile Union, and the Crisis of 1876.
