Another Shutdown Looms & The AMA Caves On Gender Surgery

Fresh from twin appearances at the annual National Gathering for Prayer & Repentance and the National Prayer Breakfast, U.S. House Speaker MIKE JOHNSON joins us to warn that Democratic Party efforts to block ICE funding could endanger everything from TSA agents at airports to FEMA operations. NewsMax chief Washington correspondent JAMES ROSEN echoes Speaker Johnson’s concerns, adding: “I don’t know anybody in D.C. who sees an offramp from the current gridlock.” U.S. Ambassador to Israel MIKE HUCKABEE updates us on the latest efforts to disarm Hamas and to rein in IRAN. Dr. QUENTIN VAN METER of the American College of Pediatricians applauds the $2-million award a jury gave to a young woman mutilated by ‘gender affirming surgery’ which has suddenly prompted the American Medical Association to abandon advocacy of such dangerous surgeries he says are based purely on ideology, not science. And TONY PERKINS’ commentary focuses on that massive financial settlement on gender-affirming procedures…adding that “Children deserve protection, not experimentation.” All that and more on our latest edition of THIS WEEK ON CAPITOL HILL with Tony Perkins.
