Speaker Johnson Laments: "It Isn't Unlawful for Crazy People to be Elected"

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

Live from the campaign trail in Austin, Texas…U.S. House Speaker MIKE JOHNSON updates the latest Midterms news including new developments in the battle over mail-in ballots and more radicals winning primary elections even in red states like Oklahoma; he deems the trend dangerous and calls on conservatives to turn out and stand up for America on November 3rd. ELIZABETH MITCHELL, White House correspondent for The Daily Signal, says President DONALD J. TRUMP really flexed his political muscle on behalf of his endorsed candidates in South Carolina and Oklahoma…and zeroes-in on U.S./Canada trade tensions. Joining us from Kyiv, PAVLO UNGURYAN—former Ukraine parliament member—recaps this week’s national prayer breakfast there and the latest military strikes on the capital by Russia. Congressman RICK CRAWFORD (R-AR), chairman of the House Select Committee on Intelligence, looks at the June 2028 trial date set for 9/11 terrorist Khalid Sheik Mohammad; “It has taken 25 years, but at long last he will face his day in court”; Chairman Crawford also warns of the need to shore up “weaknesses, gaps and vulnerabilities” in our intelligence community to ensure that another 9/11 cannot happen. And TONY PERKINS (just back from a trip to Ukraine) declares in his commentary that as Christians we must pray for Ukraine, where our brothers and sisters in Christ are targeted by Russia for torture and death. All this—and more—coming up on our latest edition of THIS WEEK ON CAPITOL HILL with Tony Perkins, sponsored by AARP.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
