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%.

    U.S.House Speaker MIKE JOHNSON (R-LA)—joining us from the campaign trail in California—flatly declares America is at a “crossroads” politically, as radical Democratic Socialists continue to score victories in races for Congress: “It is time for all freedom-loving patriots to stand up in the November misterms.” U.S. Ambassador to Israel MIKE HUCKABEE says it is more important than ever that the U.S. and Israel maintain their historic friendship, noting that just this week Israel provided President DONALD J.

    A Renewed Call to Defend America on This Independence Day

    On this week’s program, U.S. House of Representatives Speaker MIKE JOHNSON (R-LA) warns America faces growing challenges from socialist and Marxist movements and urges citizens to defend constitutional principles. JAMES ROSEN, Chief Washington Correspondent for Newsmax, explains that recent Democratic socialist primary victories reflect a repeatable “playbook” driven by youthful, media-savvy candidates. West Virginia Attorney General JB McCuskey hails the Supreme Court’s decision upholding laws that reserve women’s sports for biological females, calling it a major win for women and girls. Congressman Scott Perry (R-PA) stresses that while Iran continues to stall in negotiations, President Trump is clear-eyed and has time on his side, adding that a potential Lebanon framework deal signals increased American leverage. And in light of the High Court’s decision on women’s sports, TONY PERKINS’ commentary reminds Americans that social science and the Bible both affirm that God made humanity male and female and they should have children.

    Speaker Johnson: "Communism is on Our Very Shores"

    On this episode, U.S. House of Representatives Speaker MIKE JOHNSON (R-LA) warns that Democratic primary victories in NYC this week will send “three more radical Marxist insurgents” to Congress, and warns Americans they had better get out and vote to stop this trend. Congressman RICK CRAWFORD  (R-AR) Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee predicts Iran will continue top be a thorn in President DONALD J. TRUMP’s side because it is less of a nation and “more like a death cult committed to death to America.” Congressman MARLIN STUTZMAN (R-IN) believes the SAVE AMERICA ACT will be enacted this coming week…but only because Speaker Johnson is attaching it to a Reconciliation Bill in order to bypass four GOP Senators who refuse to support the Voter ID legislation. Cygnal’s senior partner & pollster JOHN ROGERS joins us with new polling suggesting Democrats are far more enthusiastic about voting as we head toward the Midterms than Republicans. And TONY PERKINS’ commentary impels Americans to honor America’s 250th birthday by striving to be virtuous and stand by the word of God.  All this—and more—coming up on our latest edition of THIS WEEK ON CAPITOL HILL with Tony Perkins, sponsored by AARP.
