On this week’s program, U.S. Senate Budget Committee chairman LINDSEY GRAHAM (R-S.C.) dives into the “$9-Billion Recission” process which led the Senate and House to slash millions from public broadcasting: “We took money away from NPR which is a left-leaning organization” and promised more Recission packages are in our future.

PHILIP WEGMANN, White House correspondent for Real Clear Politics (pictured) explains why the unreleased Epstein files seem to be resonating with — and concerning — President DONALD J. TRUMP’s base supporters because U.S. Attorney General PAM BONDIhas been overpromising and underdelivering on this controversy.”

Former U.N. Ambassador JOHN BOLTON weighs-in on how Iran “is in no position to make demands” and warns that the Ayatollahs think they can bluff America out of surveillance over what remains of their nuclear program.

And TONY PERKINS’ newest commentary centers on a Christian pastor who was fired from his job at the East Baton Rouge parish library for not calling someone by their preferred pronoun, and the danger policies like that pose to all Americans.

All that and more ahead on Salem’s THIS WEEK ON CAPITOL HILL, releasing at 10AM Eastern Saturday on the Salem News Channel.
