American Conservation Coalition Founder and Chairman Benji Backer encourages Republicans to embrace clean energy sources. “You look at the states that are reducing emissions the most, it’s the states that are able to pair nuclear with natural gas and occasionally hydropower and renewables. It’s going to be a mix and by removing nuclear and natural gas from the conversation, the left is not taking this issue seriously,” he says.

American Conservation Coalition Founder and Chairman Benji Backer says the left doesn’t take into account the costs and environmental impact of renewable energy sources. “We shouldn’t be destroying the environment to save the environment and too many times that’s what’s happening with solar and wind,” he says.

American Conservation Coalition Founder and Chairman Benji Backer explains why the United States should continue to pursue renewable energy, but only as a minority power source. “There’s so many opportunities to have American energy expansion and development for cleaner technologies without just working on renewables,” he says. “And that’s where the left has failed and where the right can really take an opportunity to succeed.”

Tim Parlatore, founder and managing partner at Parlatore Law Group, says former President Donald Trump’s classified documents case has been “hopelessly infected by prosecutorial misconduct” from the start. “I think it really does kind of paint the picture that, regardless of the underlying merits of the documents, this is a case that was badly handled from the beginning and there has to be some accountability for DOJ when they do engage in this kind of behavior,” he says.

Tim Parlatore, founder and managing partner at Parlatore Law Group, talks about the constitutionality of New York Judge Juan Merchan’s gag order against former President Donald Trump. He says that if Merchan moved to imprison Trump for violating the gag order, the biggest problem he would have is proving to the Appellate Court that the order is constitutional.

Tim Parlatore, founder and managing partner at Parlatore Law Group, says Stormy Daniels’ testimony has nothing to say that is relevant to New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s charges against former President Donald Trump. “This is a case about whether documents were falsified. She didn’t know anything about that,” he says. “And here’s the thing. Under the statute, it doesn’t matter whether anything happened between the two of them because whether her story is true or false, the fact that Michael Cohen was trying to keep it silent—that's the only relevant fact.”

Representative Brian Babin (R-TX) vows to protect women’s sports and fight back against the Biden administration’s Title IX trans-inclusive changes. “Whether they believe they’re women or not, we cannot have males going into the locker rooms, the bathrooms, the changing rooms of females,” he says.

Representative Brian Babin (R-TX) doesn’t expect the Senate to pass House Republicans’ Equal Representation Act, a bill that would add a U.S. citizenship question to the census and require the apportionment of Representatives to be based on U.S. citizens instead of persons. "We have got to get a handle on our border," he says. "We've got to know who's coming in. We've got to make sure that the ones that are coming in are benefiting the United States of America and not just one party."

Representative Brian Babin (R-TX) blasts Democrat lawmakers for supporting legislation that would allow noncitizens to vote in our federal elections. “For heaven’s sakes, they’ve already got the right to vote in the local elections in several states, including California,” he says. Rep. Babin praises Republican members of Congress for introducing the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, which would require proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections.
