## Resource

Hour 1 - Good Thursday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour: President Trump will host a prime time address tonight. Sen. Elissa Slotkin said the SAVE America Act would make it harder for Democrats to win elections, prompting Republicans to argue she had finally said "the quiet part out loud" about Democrats' opposition to stricter election laws. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez argued that TV networks have an “ethical obligation” not to air President Trump’s upcoming address to the nation if it’s not “rooted in evidence and fact.” U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced on Wednesday an effort to annually screen servicemen’s testosterone levels while offering testosterone replacement therapy.
