Washington Watch’s Mary Stackhouse reports on the Senate’s vote to end the partial DHS shutdown and President Trump’s deadline extension to refrain from striking Iranian energy power plants until April 7th. Glenn Grothman, U.S. Representative for Wisconsin’s 6th District and member of the Oversight & Government Reform Committee, explains why Republicans in the House have rejected the Senate’s bill to end the partial shutdown of DHS. Elliot Abrams, Senior Fellow for Middle Eastern Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, offers an update on the Strait of Hormuz and comments on why President Trump believes deploying 10,000 ground troops may persuade Iran to accept the U.S. terms to strike a deal to end the conflict. Ron Johnson, U.S. Senator from Wisconsin, defends the bill to end the partial government shutdown, which the Senate passed, and what it should mean for ICE and immigration enforcement funding. Donna Rice Hughes, President and CEO of Enough is Enough, breaks down the court decision that found Google and Meta liable for building applications that inflicted mental health problems on children, whether this will lead to more accountability among tech companies, and how Christians should address the addictive nature of social media. Dr. David Closson, Director of the Center for Biblical Worldview at FRC, examines key weekly stories on transgender policies, international women's sports, religious freedom challenges, and debates on gender definition from a biblical perspective.
