Summary

We’re just one week into 2022 and already political debates are heating up in Washington over election integrity, the Senate filibuster, and spending, among other things.

It’s clear that 2022 will be a significant year in the fight for American liberty. Jessica Anderson, Heritage Action for America executive director, says conservatives will face at least three major battles in the year ahead.

“The fight to protect the sanctity of life, I think, is going to be in the forefront of so many voters minds, really, throughout the year,” Anderson says.

The Supreme Court’s decision in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization case will determine not only whether or not Roe v. Wade is overturned, but also affect the lives of millions of unborn babies.

In addition to the issue of abortion, Anderson says, election integrity and President Joe Biden’s liberal agenda more broadly are significant issues to follow in 2022.

Also on today’s show:

Both Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris deliver speeches about the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
Former President Donald Trump says Biden used his speech about Jan. 6 to distract from his failings as president.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis takes action to limit America’s dependence on China.
