Summary
U.S.House Speaker MIKE JOHNSON (R-LA)—taking time from campaigning in Iowa for Republican candidates—faces a back-breaking agenda in the week ahead including a Reconciliation bill that will make-or-break the SAVE AMERICA Act. ELIZABETH MITCHELL , White House correspondent for the Daily Signal, recaps major stories making headlines this week and raises the question: “Can any member of Congress support Israel and still remain a Democrat?” House Armed Services Committee member Congressman PAT HARRIGAN (R-N.C.) offers this assessment of America’s options in Iran: “ If you’re not willing to employ total war then you shouldn’t go to war .” Former Assistant Secretary of State ROBERT DESTRO breaks-down President DONALD J. TRUMP ’s declassification of documents proving the Chinese Communist Party has engaged in longtime election interference in the United States and elsewhere. And TONY PERKINS’ commentary notes that “ the evidence is clear: more babies will continue to be killed nationwide ” until the DOJ reverses Biden-era policies that grant unfettered access to mail-order abortion pills. All this—and more —coming up on our latest edition of THIS WEEK ON CAPITOL HILL with Tony Perkins , sponsored by AARP . See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
