Booker's Filibuster Signals Democrat Desperation

from This Week on Capitol Hill · host This Week on the Hill

U.S. Senator MIKE ROUNDS (R-SD) recaps COREY BOOKER’s marathon filibuster this week, contending that Senate Democrats are grasping at straws trying to find a message to counter PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP’s successes. Economist DAVID BAHNSEN also joins us to drill down on tariffs; he believes “having a more Christian understanding of the economy will help Americans realize that God created us to produce things.” House GOP Conference chair LISA McCLAIN (R-MI) focuses on the failed stunt to get so- called Proxy Voting in the house for mothers of newborns; she advocates “concentrating on President Trump’s legislative agenda rather than playing games.” And Congressman MARK HARRIS updates us on efforts to repeal the decades-old Johnson Amendment which he says “is used by the IRS as an iron hammer to threaten tax exemption of pastors in America who speak out on public policy.” All that plus TONY PERKINS’ commentary the biological differences between men and woman in the American military…on our latest edition of THIS WEEK ON CAPITOL HILL.
