Dr. Shea Bradley-Farrell, President of the Counterpoint Institute for Policy, Research, and Education, says she does not trust President Joe Biden’s new executive order on women’s health research because of his administration’s push to incorporate transgenderism into women’s spaces. “They are obsessed with mixing transgenderism with women’s initiatives and policy,” says Dr. Bradley-Farrell. “Every policy that they’ve put out, whether it’s domestic like the White House Gender Policy Council or [the] State Department’s Women Empowerment Policy, all of them mix transgenderism, so called “transgender rights” with women’s issues.”

Representative Ralph Norman (R-SC) says President Joe Biden is intentionally stifling taxpayers through his economic agenda. Rep. Norman says the Biden administration’s “answer to everything” is more taxes and more regulations on small businesses.

Representative Ralph Norman (R-SC) says President Joe Biden’s new student loan forgiveness program won’t improve his polling numbers. “He’s trying to justify everything he’s doing. He cannot justify the unleashing of illegals into this country. He cannot justify the crime that’s going on with basically no consequences. He’s grasping at straws, but that doesn’t surprise me,” says Rep. Norman.

Just the News Senior Correspondent Nick Ballasy says it’s unclear how House leaders will proceed on FISA reform despite the deadline being one week away.

Stacy Washington, “Eternally Cancel Proof” author and host of “Stacy On The Right,” says Democrats are threatened by former President Donald Trump’s moderate position on abortion. “I think they’re afraid that he and his moderate stance will appeal to voters who really don’t care about abortion,” says Washington. “They want to know how can they get their 401ks back up, how can they seal up the border, lower crime, how can they spend 25% less on groceries like they did when Trump was in office."

Southeastern Legal Foundation Executive Director Kimberly Hermann says she expects the National Collegiate Athletics Association to follow the Biden administration's lead on Title IX reform and require schools to allow men to compete in women’s sports. “At the end of the day, a woman is a woman, a man is a man, and Title IX is there to protect women in education and not to eviscerate them,” says Hermann.

Southeastern Legal Foundation Executive Director Kimberly Hermann says her non-profit law firm has filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration’s Department of Agriculture for unlawfully distributing federal relief aid to farmers based on sex and race. “These programs give white men less money just because of those two immutable characteristics and that is flatly unconstitutional, as we all learned in grade school,” says Hermann.

National Security Advisor Dr. Walid Phares says people in the West calling for a ceasefire in Gaza are ignorant and misinformed about the Israel-Hamas war and the threat of the Iranian regime. Dr. Phares says it would be “the biggest mistake of the century” to agree to a ceasefire before Hamas is eradicated from Gaza.

National Security Advisor Dr. Walid Phares talks about United States’ strategic agreement to stand with Israel if Iran launches long-range missiles onto Israeli soil. “If the U.S. won’t help Israel, there will be damages in Israel, there will be many victims. It will force the Israelis to go to a higher ground, and the higher ground is called nuclear response. And that’s something that we all need to avoid,” says Dr. Phares.

Representative Josh Brecheen (R-OK) warns of the economic dangers our country faces if Congress refuses to rein in federal spending levels. “We’re in peace time and we’re overspending.

Just the News reporter Natalia Mittelstadt says Democrats’ history of accusing Republicans of stealing elections dates back to the 2000 presidential election. Mittelstadt says it’s hypocritical for Democrats to label Republicans as “election deniers” considering their track record.

John O’Shea, Texas candidate for U.S. Congress, says there are no prouder patriots than those of Hispanic and Latino descent who legally immigrated to the United States. “They understand the price that it requires to be a citizen and they are very proud patriots who hate the destruction they are witnessing in their communities and in this country overall,” says O’Shea.

John O’Shea, GOP candidate for U.S. Congress, says running for Texas’ 12th congressional district against Representative Craig Goldman is “truly a race of great dichotomy.” "I'm the outsider who is seeking to run as an America First candidate, endorsed by our beloved Attorney General Ken Paxton who's the America First champion and ally of President Trump here in Texas,” O’Shea says. “And my opponent is a standing State Representative who has been a lobbyist or in political office most his life, who actually worked with the current leadership down in Austin to impeach our beloved attorney general.”

Heritage Foundation Vice President of Foreign Policy Victoria Coates reacts to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s recent comments about genocide in Gaza. “The best thing you can do to end humanitarian suffering in Gaza is to end this war by Israel winning it. It’s a little bit like winning World War II. You can’t get to the post-war, you can’t get to the reconstruction, you can’t get to a brighter future for the Palestinian people until this conflict ends,” says Coates.

Public Interest Legal Foundation President J. Christian Adams says ranked choice voting is a “contrived” ballot system that has cost Republicans seats in Alaska and Maine. “The good news is, I don’t think it’s getting very far. I think it’s kind of dying,” says Adams. “They’ve had to reverse election results because of it and so I’m confident that the slowdown in popularity that you have seen is only going to get more pronounced and we’re not going to have to deal with it, hopefully."

Public Interest Legal Foundation President J. Christian Adams says Nevada has the worst election system in the country, followed by Michigan and Wisconsin. On the flip side, Adams says he’s impressed with the improvements in Georgia and Pennsylvania’s elections.

Mountain States Legal Foundation General Counsel William Trachman says the recent rise in aviation failures shows what happens when airlines prioritize diversity over qualifications. “In the end, there will be an accident. It’s just a matter of time before someone who isn’t qualified to be there is the only person who can respond to a threat and can’t do it, just out of incompetence,” says Trachman.
