BUDGET BATTLE & ISRAEL/HAMAS CRISIS: On our newest edition, U.S. House Speaker MIKE JOHNSON offers the very latest details on the House and Senate seeking common ground on federal budget reconciliation…with the top priority being to save President DONALD J. TRUMP’s 2017 tax cuts from expiring at the end of this year. U.S. Senator JAMES LANKFORD (R-OK) has the Senate’s perspective on how Congress can join forces with ELON MUSK’s Department of Government Efficiency to reinforce the multi-billion-dollar cuts in wasteful spending DOGE has unearthed so far. SIMCHA ROTHMAN—a member of the Israeli Knessett—reports on Hamas’s latest atrocities and this week’s bus bombings…suggesting massive military response by Israel may soon be on the horizon, and why “Hamas is the evil that the world must deal with.” TONY PERKINS offers a commentary on President Trumps executive order making in-vitro fertilization more accessible and why every unborn life is so very precious. All that and much more on our latest edition of THIS WEEK ON CAPITOL HILL.
