FTO Passport Revocation Act, Ted Poe and Edward Snowden
Texas Congressman Ted Poe introduced the "FTO Passport Revocation Act" to strip the passports of Americans fighting for ISIS. The hosts discuss the constitutionality of this move, noting that the Yale Law Journal previously argued there is no current legal authority to revoke passports for such reasons, including in the case of Edward Snowden.
Border Security and the Cartel-ISIS Connection
Texas Representative Ted Poe suggests a potential "synergy" between Mexican drug cartels and ISIS, citing their shared use of beheadings. The hosts perform a satirical skit of a phone call between the two groups. Meanwhile, Marie Harf admits she has not watched the Foley beheading video, which the hosts find telling of the State Department's involvement in the narrative.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is considering new regulations on "particulate matter," specifically targeting dust created by farming activities. Representative Ted Poe criticizes the proposal, noting it would require farmers to mitigate dust from dirt roads and even livestock movement, which could lead to significant fines for the agricultural industry.
