Summary: This weekend, Glen discusses the release of American Bowe Bergdahl from Taliban custody. Many Americans are relieved that Bergdahl is returning home. But Obama is facing growing criticism over his decision to release 5 dangerous Taliban Commanders. Glen talks with Congressman Keith Rothfus (R-PA) about the proposed EPA regulations that threaten to shut down the coal industry, and the latest headlines related to the Veterans Administration. Glen also talks with Marita Noon (Executive Director for Energy Make America Great and author of the book Energy Freedom) about how the proposed EPA regulations will hurt our national economy and drive energy prices higher.
