Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) says Republicans gave up the sole leverage they had to force President Joe Biden to close the border by passing the $95 billion foreign aid bill. “It’s important to point out—Trump had the authority, he closed the border. Biden used that exact same authority, opened it up. So he has the authority. He just doesn’t have the will,” he says. “Democrats and President Biden want an open border. They caused this problem.”

Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) says there has always been a dispute over what classified documents the president is allowed to keep or must return to the National Archives and Records Administration. Sen. Johnson says that issue doesn’t exist for Joe Biden and the classified documents he kept as a U.S. Senator and Vice President. “Clear violation of the law, and yet President Biden gets let off scot-free because, I guess it's because he’s senile,” he says.

Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) says the Ukraine-Russia war has essentially devolved into a proxy war between the West and the Kremlin. “Vladimir Putin is an evil war criminal. But the only way this war ends is with a negotiated settlement,” says Sen. Johnson. “I see no strategy to take or bring Putin to the negotiating table.”

Representative Eric Burlison (R-MO) says the House Oversight and Accountability Committee needs to follow the money propping up antisemitic organizations at U.S. colleges. Rep. Burlison believes Arab foreign nations are directly funding groups like ‘Justice for Palestine’ in order to establish covert propaganda arms of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran on college campuses.

Representative Eric Burlison (R-MO) says he was disappointed in the number of Republican congressmen who voted to pass a $95 billion foreign aid package on Saturday. Rep. Burlison says the majority of House Republicans would rather not risk leveraging Ukraine aid for border security.

Former President Donald Trump says President Joe Biden's foreign policies have enabled the Iranian regime's rise in tensions. “They were a poor nation three and a half years ago and you could’ve made a deal. They wanted to make a deal. And Israel’s in big trouble,” says Trump.

Former President Donald Trump says Ukraine and Israel’s conflicts would have never happened if he was president. Trump says Europe is not paying their fair share in foreign aid to Ukraine and needs to equalize payments with America.

Former President Donald Trump talks about how FISA tools were illegally used to spy on his 2016 campaign. Trump says the FISA process isn't appropriate if it doesn’t have the necessary checks and balances.

Former President Donald Trump says President Joe Biden is directly responsible for his ongoing political persecution. “This country’s never seen anything like this. And every one of these trials, including local DA trials, every one of these trials, every single one of them is coming out of the White House,” says Trump. “It’s to help get Biden elected, who can’t put two sentences together.”

Harvard Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz says he can’t find the crime in the state of New York’s case against former President Donald Trump. “Every American ought to see how their system of justice is being distorted for partisan purposes,” says Dershowitz. “I understand why the district attorney of New York didn’t want this on television. I understand why the judge didn’t want this on television. But we, the American public, have a right to see our criminal justice system abused for partisan purposes.”

Harvard Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz says he will no longer vote Democrat after hearing progressive leaders' responses to the antisemitic protests at Columbia University. “I have no loyalty anymore to the party that is the cause, a major cause of what’s going on at Columbia today,” says Dershowitz.

Tom Barrett, GOP candidate for Michigan’s 7th Congressional District, expresses concern with the U.S. military’s lack of candor and weak combat readiness. “We have a recruiting problem in the military, we have a retention problem, and we have a readiness problem and these are all because of Joe Biden and the senior leadership that he’s appointed to these positions that have simply lost the trust of the American people,” Barrett says.

Heritage Foundation Media and Public Relations Director Noah Weinrich says Polish President Andrzej Duda and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Obran’s decision to meet with former President Donald Trump and not President Joe Biden sends a clear message. “I think it tells you that leaders abroad do not see Biden as the real power in America,” he says.

Heritage Foundation Media and Public Relations Director Noah Weinrich says President Joe Biden has yet to present a solution that would end the Ukraine-Russia war. “Instead of peace through strength, which is what we had under President Trump and President Reagan, we have war with weakness,” he says. “President Biden could not tell you how he’s going to end the war in Ukraine even if you give him $200 billion, which is what they’re trying to do now.”

Michael Sobolik, author of “Countering China’s Great Game,” explains how the U.S. should exert dominance over the CCP through their two biggest weaknesses: human rights issues and freedom of information. “It’s easy to think that a lot of dictatorships are really strong because they wield power in a way that democracies don’t. But tyrants and despots rule the way they do not because they’re secure but because they’re afraid of their own people,” says Sobolik.

Michael Sobolik says his new book “Countering China’s Great Game” offers U.S. policy makers a blueprint for how the U.S. can win the Cold War against China. “I wrote the book because I worked in the U.S. Senate for five years and during that time I noticed that our elite political institutions, though they were beginning to understand the threat that Beijing poses to America, a lot of our policies were really reactive,” Sobolik explains. “We were growing aware of Beijing’s malign influence inside of America, of all the ways that U.S. companies are hopelessly entangled with the market inside of China, but we weren’t really going on the offensive against the Chinese Communist Party.”

Sheriff Mark Lamb says he was motivated to run for U.S. Senate after numerous legal hurdles prevented him from holding Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas accountable for aiding and abetting human trafficking at the border. Sheriff Lamb shares how the loss of his children was another factor that pushed him to run for federal office. “Initially, that was something that totally knocked me off the tracks. But eventually, what it taught us is there is no guarantee for tomorrow. The only thing we can take with us in this life is what we do,” says Sheriff Lamb.

Arizona U.S. Senate Candidate Sheriff Mark Lamb says Americans should be angry with the Senate for dismissing both articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. “Now I think we all knew what the Senate’s outcome would be, but I think they had a responsibility to the American people to hear it and at least you know listen to the other side and why the House passed it up to them,” says Sheriff Lamb.

Arizona U.S. Senate Candidate Sheriff Mark Lamb says fentanyl poisoning is a major terrorist threat that has become the leading cause of death for Americans between the ages of 18 and 45. “It looks very different than the terrorism we’re used to seeing like bombs going off or people firing guns or crashing planes into a building,” Sheriff Lamb says. “The real terrorism that’s killing Americans at a higher rate than anything else is, more effective than any army, is fentanyl poisonings.”
