Washington Watch’s Mary Stackhouse reports the latest on the war in Iran, including the Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s press conference and the crash of a U.S. military refueling plane in Iraq. She also reports on the investigations into the attacks on a synagogue in Michigan and Old Dominion University in Virginia, as initial evidence in both incidents point to ISIS as a motivating factor. Randy Weber, U.S. Representative for Texas’s 14th District, offers an update on Department of Homeland Security funding and theorizes to what extent the ongoing war with Iran is contributing to an increase in anti-Semitism and attacks targeting Jewish communities in the United States. Dr. Peter Wood, National Association of Scholars President, shines a light on his Senate testimony, “Exposing Malign Foreign Influence in Higher Education.” David Yeghnazar, Executive Director of Elam Ministries, highlights a report on how the ongoing war in the Middle East is impacting Christians in Iran. Dr. David Closson, Director of the Center for Biblical Worldview at FRC, unpacks the Hawley-Harshbarger bill to strip FDA approval for the abortion drug mifepristone, reacts to the attack against a synagogue in Michigan, and comments on the Louisiana Bill 306 to Safeguard Houses of Worship.
