Democrats Itching for a Government Shutdown - This Week on Capitol Hill - 8-6-2025

DEMOCRATS ITCHING FOR GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN? Daily Signal White House correspondent ELIZABETH MITCHELL says Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer thinks he got “burned” last time staving off a shutdown, so to appease radicals in his party Schumer’s new mission is to avoid doing anything seen as supporting President Donald J. Trump or the GOP; she also updates us on new developments in the Epstein files controversy. Congressman NATHANIEL MORAN (R-TX) suggests China, Russia and North Korea and worried about the renewed military strength in America what President Trump has restored. CBN News Middle East bureau chief CHRIS MITCHELL has the latest on removing “human shields” from Gaza…as well as the dangers of France and other countries declaring existence of “a Palestinian state.” Louisiana Attorney General LIZ MURRILL explains why her state would welcome federalized troops to quell crime in New Orleans and Baton Rouge. And TONY PERKINS offers a scathing Commentary on U.S. Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) telling a Senate hearing he’s “very disturbed” by a State Department nominee saying rights come from God, not from government. All that ahead on Salem’s THIS WEEK ON CAPITOL HILL, sponsored by AARP, releasing at 10AM Eastern Saturday on the Salem News Channel.
