Summary

Grover Noquist from Americans for Tax Reform discusses cutting down federal spending and financial developments to look forward to in the states. He says, "the modern Democratic Party is not willing to cut or reduce any spending except defense spending," but "we can save trillions of dollars" over time "just by reforming entitlements so that they don't grow faster than inflation." JTN Reporter Nicholas Ballasy details the uncertainties in the ongoing fight for Speaker of the House, where 20 members "aren't budging" because "there's nothing really McCarthy can offer," meaning they might need "a consensus candidate that can get the whole caucus in line. Veteran and former congressional candidate Hung Cao discusses problems with the military, including decreased recruitment, woke ideology, a lack of preparedness, and "kicking out good people" because of vaccine mandates.
