What's he really like? Why did colleagues vote for him? We spoke with a longtime friend of his the president of the Family Research Council Tony Perkins, thank you so much for joining us. Great to have you on the show Thanks. Great to be with you To begin you've been a longtime friend of speaker Mike Johnson. He was just newly elected now after he was elected There's been a lot of news reports out about him both negative and positive. But in your view, what kind of man is he? well, he's actually what you see I was just talking with earlier today and just you know, he's just Amazed at how the the media has focused on so many different things And of course, he's he's not focusing a lot on what's being said He's got a lot of work to do and so he's zeroing in on the mission before him But I really do believe what he said on the floor After he was elected by the by his colleagues is reflective of who he is. I've known Mike for Probably over 25 years and and his he operates from his faith And and so that guides what he does and I think that mate was very clear. Nothing was forced It was just kind of who he is. He's authentic and and I think his colleagues see that they know that that's why they have Elevated him to this position to lead. He's a it's a very thoughtful caring Deep thinker and I think he's going to do quite well as speaker And I want to expand on that on X you wrote that quote He'll lead with spiritual insight and political courage Could you expand on that and give us a sense of what to expect from him as a legislative leader? You know that that's a really good question You know, what does that mean? I actually think he's He addressed that himself recently in an interview. He said look, I'm a Bible-believing Christian And so if you want to know where I stand just read the Bible And so when it comes to these issues that we're wrestling with today in public policy That's his view. But he said now I realize that I'm leading a delegate I'm leading a conference that is made up of diverse thinkers and different districts So that's my view and I'm gonna work toward consensus. And so he's not an enigma He's not a puzzle to be figured out He's made it very clear and that's where I think as Christians engage in the political process who are Bible-believing Christians It's not difficult to know where we're gonna where we're coming from we as the founders of this country believed that the The principles of Scripture give guidance to us and how we should live and how we should influence the world around us and What is your message to those who say that faith and religion have no place in politics? Well America wouldn't be here if that were the case. I mean, that's that's what propelled this nation forward into a nation and if those principles were good enough to build a nation upon They're good enough to guide a nation by today And so it's not that it's to the exclusion of everything else, but they have every right To be a part of the process and and again, he's the he's the speaker. He's not the dictator there are still he's just one vote in a body of You know over 400 people. So yes, he's going to lead from that perspective, but he's not going to dictate And now you've spoken to lawmakers and newsmakers on your show Washington watch of the past few days about speaker Johnson What has their reaction been? Well in the house, I would tell you this there's a lot of excitement Because first off he had three weeks where there was just kind of wandering in the wilderness and now They've got a leader and they're coming out of that that period of chaos And and it's a leader that they trust and Mike has built relationships over the years with members Frankly on both sides of the aisle and and so I think there's a there's a sense of enthusiasm. There's a sense of hope And and so everything I have seen and heard is very positive and and I'm very excited about Not just the the prospects For you know his relationship with members, but also the leadership team is going to be more unified than we've seen in years He and the majority leader Steve Scalise worked very closely together. And that's not something we've seen in Thus far the speaker McCarthy and and and leader Scalise did not work that closely those offices and work that closely together I think you're gonna see a seamless leadership team Which is going to be very helpful in leading the caucus and the Congress forward You mentioned unity. It sounds like you're hopeful for the direction our country's going in Well, I I mean you've got to be hopeful. I mean we need to be hopeful. We've got to be optimistic Yes, we're facing some significant challenges. Yes. We are a nation that's divided But here we see this ray of light and I I said this in some interviews earlier this week. I I We've seen for the first time we've seen the Republicans unit unified in electing a Republican since 2011 our speaker That's the first time we've seen the entire Republican caucus vote collectively for a speaker But I actually think you're gonna see some Democrats affected in a conversations. I had earlier today You're gonna see I think some relationships built on the other side of the aisle That's going to allow the Congress to do some significant things Anthony Perkins, thank you so much for your time.

Here are some today's top headlines Two days after a deadly shooting in Maine The suspect is still at large a close friend of his saying that the search will be difficult due to the suspects military background new Israeli intelligence Revealing that the Hamas terrorist group's headquarters is stationed right beneath a hospital in Gaza This follows Jerusalem's naval forces conducting overnight patrols off the coast of the disputed territory President Trump's daughter Ivanka is now required to testify in the New York civil fraud trial this comes as special counsel Jack Smith drops his request for Trump's fundraising records as Charges mount congressman George Santos once again pleading not guilty The new charges allege that he stole thousands of dollars using donors credit cards As the Pentagon responds to attacks on u.s. Troops in the Middle East with airstrikes and additional troops deployments What are the risks of continued escalation? We spoke with a distinguished professor of law at the University of Mississippi and the author of several books including Disinformation who says additional u.s. Involvement in the Mideast poses a serious risk Ron rachel. I thank you so much for joining us great to have you on the show. Thanks a lot of beer Now the u.s. Is boosting its presence in the Middle East it's sending 900 troops there This comes on the heels of a series of attacks on American troops. How should we read this? Is the u.s. Getting involved in the region? I think the u.s. Has been involved I mean, it's a question of how much we're ramping things up and I do think with all the moving pieces going on that There's a serious risk of us getting involved in a much bigger Battle than than we've seen so far and I want to touch on that So following these attacks on u.s. Troops the u.s. Military struck to Iran linked sites in Syria right now It almost seems like we're fighting proxy wars. What would it take to escalate it to a direct conflict with Iran? well, I think that that what everyone is trying to hold back on and figure out is what the response from Israel is going to be into the Gaza Strip and I I think Israel is telegraphed that they're Prepared and they've even gone in a little bit. Certainly. They've been making strikes if that evolves into a full-out invasion Then what happens from Syria from the other side? Did they try to take advantage and put Israel in a two-front war if that happens? You know Israel is our friend in the Middle East. That's That's been the the politics of the United States in Israel for a long time Would we probably go in somehow to try to help and defend them my guess is yes Might Israel be inclined to make strikes that are more significant than we might want. That's also a risk as well So I think we're playing on a very dicey field right now. Not really sure where it's gonna end up and On that note, what strategies do you think need to be employed so that this Israel Hamas war doesn't escalate? Well, I actually think we're trying to do all of the correct things. There are ongoing negotiations, you know the Palestinians apparently have live hostages and I think that's probably Caused some restraint from Israel from going in and if they can broker an exchange that way We won't have the invasion if we can release the hostages Maybe there's a way out of that. The problem is that this issue has gone on forever Hamas is recognized. It's a designated terrorist organization And it's in control of Palestine that the Gaza Strip. I should say it's the ruling government and In that scenario, it's just it seems to be impossible to work out a long-term working relationship So that's why there's argument saying Israel needs to take out Hamas not all of Palestinians but get rid of the controlling leadership that's Would be nice that could be done peacefully, but that's not the way it's heading. It looks like And when it comes to this Israel Hamas war, there is of course the kinetic element But there's also the information war that seems to be happening. You have a book on Disinformation, how do we navigate this whether it's what we see on social media the rise in AI Yeah, it's huge. And that's really has been a tactic that Hamas Hezbollah other groups the Middle East have really deployed where we hear about bombing of the hospital and You know that there's horrible stuff going on then turns out it probably wasn't Israel who bombed the hospital It was probably a misfire rocket in fact from Hamas That's an old technique that's been in play in the Middle East for my life anyway and What we have to do Soldiers and generals make decisions in a matter of minutes if not seconds Those of us at home who have a little more time to digest need to take that time to digest before we make Rash decisions we need to look and and and question Information that comes particularly when it comes from a partisan source and That was true during World War two certainly True during Vietnam and it's true today There will be depictions designed strictly to influence the populace to say that they're the bad guys not us and you've got a Double check Those matters and and probably give it a little time to percolate too because a lot of times What seems to be the story one day has changed dramatically a week later We did see that in terms of this hospital blast reporting while Ron Rish like thank you so much for your time Thank you very much. Appreciate Inside the pockets of Hamas terrorists investigators found a powerful drug called captagon It's been called the jihadist drug and has also been used by ISIS terrorists entities a fake order has more Captagon a powerful stimulant was reportedly found in the pockets of dead or captured Hamas terrorists who attacked Israel on October 7th captagon is an amphetamine originally created in the 1960s in Germany to combat ADHD and narcolepsy while stimulating the central nervous system Most countries stopped using captagon in 1986 because of its addictive properties and adverse effects But its popularity remains strong in the Middle East despite being banned by Middle Eastern governments It became very popular for terrorist leaders in various groups to give to individuals first in the process of breaking them down mentally and indoctrinating them and also in particular Before operations because it gave it made them more hyperactive more Ruthless geopolitical analyst Irina Zuckerman says the terror groups use the drug to control the fighters They become more compliant more open to suggestion and more addicted Its primary function is to increase this combat readiness and you you can even see From watching some of these terrorists from their own Videos that they filmed with body cameras and that they looked significantly more alert significantly more Hyperactive, although it's banned in the Middle East terror groups like Hezbollah produce it cheaply and easily They also smuggle it through various ports Experts believe most production takes place in Syria where an estimated 3.5 billion dollars worth of captagon was exported in 2020 fake order in TD News Florida governor Ron DeSantis outlining his China policy today at the Heritage Foundation the GOP presidential candidate Highlighted the importance of protecting America from the looming threat of the Chinese Communist Party. Take a listen The threat posed by the CCP requires our primary focus and attention right now our goal From a national security perspective vis-a-vis the CCP is very simple We win and they lose During a speech He said that China is bolstering Iran and Russia through financial support amid the ongoing warfare in the Middle East and Ukraine and the end goal is to distract the u.s. with lengthy geopolitical Conflicts and ultimately deplete its weapons stockpile on the military front the governor proposed an expansion of the u.s Navy's fleet with an additional 600 warships within the next two decades DeSantis also promised to make it easier for Taiwan to purchase advanced weapons on the issue of supply chains The presidential candidate said he'd counter China by pushing for more domestic mining and production of rare earth minerals These are essential components of advanced technologies worth noting This wasn't the first time DeSantis took jabs at China earlier this year The Sunshine State enacted a series of laws restricting Chinese nationals from purchasing land near critical infrastructures and military bases China's former CCP premier Li Keqiang has died Chinese state media says he died of sudden heart failure shortly after midnight He was 68 years old.

We welcome NTD's Dave Martin Dave plenty of sports going on. Let's begin with the World Series which starts tonight now Texas getting here was expected but not so for Arizona Is there a sense of fans rooting for them as the heavy underdog, you know, not as much as you would think, you know There's actually some dismay that a team that this poor of a record that was Outscored by their opponents during the regular season could actually win it all now Certainly the best team doesn't win it all always in baseball But even they were even outscored by the Phillies by nine runs just over the seven game set They really want it with some timely hitting now admittedly if they did win it all this year I think would actually probably be a very fitting ending to what's been a very unusual postseason And baseball is also a sport that dates back to the late 1800s. Has there ever been such a Cinderella story? Well, you know the Minnesota Twins back in 1987 they had a similar record They were outscored by their opponents during the regular season. They won a very weak West division at the time, though They won all six of their playoff home games There was a little bit of mystery though, because they played them in the Metrodome There was a silly rumor that they would turn their massive unit air conditioning unit on off at strategic times to benefit them But you know that title became legit four years later when roughly the same team won the title again now back in those days Though there was only four playoff teams now, there's 12, but they'll never roll that back. There's there's way too much money involved Now moving over to college football the alleged sign-stealing scandal at Michigan has been all the buzz this week Though not everyone understands it. Can you explain it in layman's terms? Yes, you know every offensive play is decided by the coaching staff. But of course you can't just yell it to your players on the field It's gonna be too loud there And if they could air it then the opposing team could have partly they probably could hear it as well So you have nonverbal communication usually that's holding up multiple signs with symbols on them Only the players know which one is real now deciphering these signs though. That's legal what's illegal is going to games of your future opponents and Looking at them and also doing any kind of video recording of the opponent's sidelines. That's not allowed And what has been the reaction around the game to this has there been a lot of outrage? You know, it's actually been kind of mixed there's been some outrage but some coaches have said, you know This goes on all across the country. Others are saying, you know, the NCAA could easily put an end to this You know The NFL does not have this problem because the coaches can talk directly to their quarterbacks through their headset They just put an earpiece in the helmet But the NCAA for whatever reason has not allowed that some people have said it's because of cost I've also heard that the NCAA thinks I would void the warranty of the helmets In any case though I think the main question that everyone wants answered is who hired this investigative firm that handed the in the NCAA a ton of evidence against Michigan because if this is as Widespread as some are saying it is and this come from a rival opponent It would be interesting to see if there would be some payback going on a mystery indeed Well Dave as always, thanks for joining us.
