Then there would be a decision by legal authorities and advisors to the president regarding whether Milley should be placed under house arrest pending court-martial. That\u2019s how serious these infractions would be, if they turn out to be accurate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Retired U.S. Army Colonel Doug Macgregor<\/p>\n<div>\n<div id=\"attachment_287044\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-287044\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Alex-WongStaffGetty-Images.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2021\/09\/Alex-WongStaffGetty-Images.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2021\/09\/Alex-WongStaffGetty-Images-300x200.jpg 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-287044\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-287044\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alex Wong\/Staff\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><b>The Allegation<\/b><\/p>\n<p>A bold allegation from Bob Woodward and Robert Costa\u2019s new book, \u201cPeril,\u201d accuses sitting Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Milley of actively undermining President Trump during the last months of his administration.<\/p>\n<p>According to the bombshell new book, Milley made phone calls to foreign military counterparts in China, promising to warn them in the event that president Trump planned a nuclear attack.<\/p>\n<p>If true, his actions would represent a radical subversion of the civilian chain of command.<\/p>\n<p><b>Secretary Chris Miller<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Morning Wire spoke with Secretary Chris Miller, who was acting Secretary of Defense from November 2020 to January 2021. He worked closely with Milley during the last three months of Donald Trump\u2019s presidency \u2013 during the time of these allegations. Milley said his working relationship with Milley was positive and professional and described Trump and Milley\u2019s relationship as \u201cbusinesslike.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Miller said he\u2019d be surprised if the allegations were true, adding that calling foreign counterparts is not unusual, but if the accusations of working to undermine the president are true, he said that is extremely serious.<\/p>\n<p>Miller also pushed back on claims that President Trump needed any safeguards when it came to national security, saying he got a bad wrap because he refused to use politically correct speech.<\/p>\n<p><b>Routine Call Vs. Violation<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Kash Patel served as chief of staff for Miller while he was acting Secretary of Defense. Patel also stressed the difference between a \u201croutine call\u201d and the violation of chain of command.<\/p>\n<p>Retired U.S. Army Colonel Doug Macgregor, who has served as senior adviser to the Secretary of Defense, said he is not confident President Biden will release the transcripts of the call between Milley and his Chinese counterpart. He said he expects nothing to change and Milley to be kept in his position.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_287045\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-287045\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Anna-MoneymakerStaffGetty-Images-.jpeg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2021\/09\/Anna-MoneymakerStaffGetty-Images-.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2021\/09\/Anna-MoneymakerStaffGetty-Images--300x169.jpeg 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-287045\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-287045\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Anna Moneymaker\/Staff\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>2) <\/b><b>The Situation Facing Afghan Refugees<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>The Topline: <\/b>Following the Taliban\u2019s takeover of Afghanistan, the Biden administration has flown thousands of Afghans to the U.S. Now, the federal government is struggling to resettle them.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u201c<\/b>Essentially it\u2019s secrecy masking pandemonium.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Daily Wire Investigative Reporter Luke Rosiak<\/p>\n<p><b>Afghan Refugees In U.S.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>According to Daily Wire investigative reporter Luke Rosiak, some Afghan migrants have been taken to the Dulles Expo Center, as well as hotels around the airport. Others are being housed on military bases throughout Virginia and other states.<\/p>\n<p>Top local officials reportedly don\u2019t know how many Afghans there are in the country, or what\u2019s happening to them.<\/p>\n<p><b>Temporary Facility\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire discovered how a Dick\u2019s Sporting Goods in Virginia that went out of business was being used as a temporary facility. A large black fence was put up, and Afghans were living inside earlier this week.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday afternoon, a Department of Defense subcontractor who was sitting on a folding chair out front told The Daily Wire she was the closest thing to an official on site, and the migrants had been moved somewhere else.<\/p>\n<p><b>Local Community<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Despite some refugee facilities being run by the Department of Defense, a lot of the work has fallen to civilians. Fairfax County, for example, has spent $300,000 transporting the migrants.<\/p>\n<p>The Virginia Department of Health also put out an alert saying Virginians who traveled to certain hotels, hospitals, or the airport, could have been exposed to measles, after five migrants were diagnosed.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_287046\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-287046\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Steph-ChambersStaffGetty-Images.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2021\/09\/Steph-ChambersStaffGetty-Images.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2021\/09\/Steph-ChambersStaffGetty-Images-300x200.jpg 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-287046\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-287046\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Steph Chambers\/Staff\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>3) <\/b><b>New Washington Law Hampers Police Making Drug Arrests\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>The Topline: <\/b>\u00a0A new law is making it difficult for police in Washington state to arrest people for drug possession as drug overdose deaths spike in the state.<\/p>\n<p><b>The Law<\/b><\/p>\n<p>A new Washington policy went into effect in May which prohibits police from arresting someone for drug possession until the third time they\u2019re caught.<\/p>\n<p>The first two times, they have to give the person a warning and contact information for rehab, unless there is a large quantity of drugs suggesting a connection to drug trafficking.<\/p>\n<p><b>The Problem: <\/b>It\u2019s essentially impossible for police to know for sure how many warnings a person has been given because there\u2019s no statewide database for drug warnings.<\/p>\n<p>On the local level, police have created their own local databases to try to comply with this law, but outside of their immediate areas they still have no idea who\u2019s been warned and who hasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p><b>The Fallout<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In February, the state\u2019s supreme court ruled the old law, which classified drug possession as a felony, was unconstitutional.<\/p>\n<p>State lawmakers who supported the new law hoped it would steer drug users into treatment rather than the criminal justice system, but police chiefs in Washington state told The Daily Wire the reality on the ground is much different.<\/p>\n<p>Cops are forced to let people with drugs go in most cases, so the substance abuse cycle continues.<\/p>\n<p><b>Drug Data<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Data show drug use is up, public drug use is rampant, and fatal drug overdoses are up, especially in places like Seattle.<\/p>\n<p>There were 418 overdose deaths in the first 3 months of 2021 compared to 378 in the same time period the year before.<\/p>\n<p>Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich told The Daily Wire police are now aware of children as young as sixth-graders using marijuana at school. Violent crime and property crime are also up in Washington, as drug users try to generate revenue to fund their addictions.<\/p>\n<p><b>Police Point: <\/b>In May, the Seattle police chief <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/seattle-police-shortage\/\">said<\/a> 260 officers \u2013 about 20% of the force \u2013 have left in the last year and a half.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_287047\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-287047\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Brandon-BellStaffGetty-Images.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2021\/09\/Brandon-BellStaffGetty-Images.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2021\/09\/Brandon-BellStaffGetty-Images-300x200.jpg 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-287047\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-287047\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Brandon Bell\/Staff\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>Other Stories We\u2019re Tracking<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Abbott<\/b><\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) moved to shut down six ports of entry from Mexico to stop a surge in illegal border crossings.
