Family Research Council Senior Fellow JODY HICE—guest hosting for the vacationing TONY PERKINS—welcomes U.S. Congresswoman HARRIET HAGEMAN (R-WY) of the House Judiciary Committee to break down Dr. ANTHONY FAUCI pleading the Fifth Amendment 111 times during an appearance in Congress…and charges Fauci exposed his own duplicity during the panic he foisted on the U.S. during the Covid 19 pandemic.
DAVE WASSERMAN of the Cook Political Report looks at how redistricting—and the Supreme Court striking down portions of the Voting Rights Act—shifted the momentum in the Midterms…noting that Democrats now need to “flip” 8 or 9 seats to regain control of the House, and he puts Democrat changes of winning the Senate at only 30%-40%.
Florida Congressman RANDY FINE analyzes the week’s developments in the war with Iran.
And CASEY HARPER of The Washington Stand recaps the week in Washington including President DONALD J. TRUMP paying tribute to the late Senator LINDSEY GRAHAM and how lame duck Senators JOHN CORNYN (R-TX) and THOM TILLIS (R-NC) are throwing roadblocks in the confirmation process for TODD BLANCHE to become our next U.S. Attorney General.
All this—and more—coming up on our latest edition of THIS WEEK ON CAPITOL HILL with Tony Perkins, sponsored by AARP.
