Saturday, April 18, 2026
Taped before a live audience at First Baptist Church in Midland, Texas as part of the Faith, Family and Freedom Tour, U.S. House Speaker MIKE JOHNSON (R-LA) previews the “skinny reconciliation” which passed the Senate and which the House will enact next week to fund Customs & Border Patrol and ICE; the Speaker charges Democrats are “endangering Americans” by continuing the longest shutdown in government history just to score political points.
Congressman SCOTT PERRY (R-PA) — a member of the House Intelligence Committee — says President DONALD J. TRUMP is “remaking the Middle East” as he deals with Iran, Israel and Lebanon.
Congressman CHIP ROY (R-TX) plans hearings on insuring protections of pro-life Americans in the wake of newly-revealed Biden Administration abuses.
Then, Pastor DARREN WOODS of FBC/Midland offers theological perspective on the importance of political and church leaders remaining independent of each other … and refers to the so-called Trump/Jesus meme as “an unforced error” by the President … and TONY PERKINS’ echoes that churches must remain “active in but independent of” political policy.
All coming up on our latest edition of THIS WEEK ON CAPITOL HILL with Tony Perkins, sponsored by AARP.
