2026: Happy New Year to America's 250th Birthday
As the new year dawns, Tony Perkins is joined by U.S. House Speaker MIKE JOHNSON (R-LA) to unpack challenges facing Congress as it returns this coming week…and the Speaker shares his excitement about our 250th birthday as a nation this year. Former Secretary of State MIKE POMPEO warns of potential dangers in the Middle East and Ukraine, and looks at the deadly ISIS-inspired attack in Australia late last year. PHILIP WEGMANN—White House correspondent for Real Clear Politics.com—suggests a packed Congressional agenda will kick-off 2026…including a looming January 30th deadline for funding the Federal government. Is another shutdown possible? And TONY PERKINS’ commentary reminds us why New Year’s resolutions need to be rooted in—and guided by— Scripture. All this.…plus much more on our latest edition of THIS WEEK ON CAPITOL HILL, releasing at 10AM Eastern Saturday on the Salem News Channel, sponsored by CLEARPATH and AMERICANS FOR PROSPERITY.
