Global and National Headlines: A Christian Perspective 0:06 Welcome to the Washington Watch News Desk. I'm Sarah Holliday with today's top stories. Overnight, Russia attacked Ukraine with missiles and drones, killing at least 15 people.0:19 On Thursday, White House press secretary Caroline Levich shared president Donald Trump's reaction.0:25 He was not happy, about this news, but he was also not surprised. These are 2 countries that have been at war for a very long time. The president wants it to end, but the leaders of these 2 countries need it to end and0:36 want it to end, must want it to end as well. And I think the president will make some additional statements on this later.0:42 Considering the British Council in Kyiv was also hit in the attack, the European Union was not pleased either. In fact, president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, didn't mince0:54 words.0:56 I'm outraged by the attack on Kyiv also hitting our EU offices. This was the deadliest drone and missile attack on the capital since July.1:08 Van der Leyen also announced that the EU will come with further sanctions against Russia soon. She also pledged to fast track the use of frozen Russian assets to fuel Ukraine's rebuilding efforts.1:20 In addition to all of this, a Russian official threatened to, quote, march on Paris. This came after the French president called Russian president Vladimir Putin an ogre, and
1:32 Putin did not take it kindly. The Kremlin came out saying that France is now public enemy number 1. Let's just pray these tensions don't explode.
1:44 Turning stateside, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or the CDC has seen a bit of turmoil in the last week. Trump fired the CDC's director.
1:56 This then resulted in several other senior officials resigning. Protesters and CDC staffers are rallying behind those who walked out, hailing their exits as a defiant stand against the
2:08 Trump administration. But the White House isn't backing down.
2:12 She was not aligned with the president's mission to make America healthy again. And the secretary asked her to resign. She said she would and then she said she wouldn't, so the president fired her.
2:22 A Trump official confirmed that Jim O'Neil, the current deputy secretary of health and human services, is stepping up as the CDC's new acting chief. His first task, navigating this
2:34 political storm. Now from government to education, watchdogs have called out teachers unions for funneling 40000000 dollars into left wing
2:46 groups since 20 22. The American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association are the 2 largest unions. They're also the 2 most guilty.
2:58 So what kind of progressive groups have they been funneling money into? It ranges from former vice president Kamala Harris's failed 20 24 presidential campaign to activist groups promoting
Faith Under Fire: Religious Freedom and Legal Battles
3:09 abortion, so called racial equity, gun restrictions, and more. This information was discovered through investigations from researchers at defending education, a right leaning
3:21 watchdog organization. As 1 researcher put it, this is insulting for American families and teachers who want student outcomes to be improved, not used as a tool to
3:33 fund left wing politics. Speaking of progressive agendas, a Christian medical professional was thrown into a legal battle after she was fired by the University
3:44 of Michigan in 20 21. Valerie Klusterman, a 17 year veteran with a spotless record, was fired from her job after she requested a religious exemption.
3:56 She didn't want to be forced to refer patients for sex change procedures or use transgender pronouns. The hospital's response, they branded her evil and a liar and showed her the door for
4:08 refusing to bow to their LGBT policies. Klusterman fought back with a lawsuit alleging that she was wrongfully terminated. Initially, a lower court dismissed her case, but in a
4:20 unanimous ruling, a federal appeals court has just revived it. Now Klusterman may have another shot at justice. And those are today's headlines. I'm Sarah
4:31 Holliday. Dive deeper with the Washington Stand at Washington Stand dot com. Up next, we have Washington Watch with guest host, Casey Harper. We're back Monday with more stories that matter.
4:52 From the heart of our nation's capital in Washington DC, bringing compelling interviews and insightful analysis, taking you beyond the headlines and soundbites into conversations with our nation's leaders and
5:04 newsmakers, all from a biblical worldview. Sitting in for Tony is today's host, Casey Harper.
5:10 The president Trump approach of upholding law and order by letting our brave men and women in blue actually do their jobs to aggressively fight crime works. In just a few weeks, president Trump has
5:22 done more for DC residents than Democrats did in 50 years.
5:27 That was Carolyn Levitt, White House press secretary, talking about president Donald Trump's crackdown on DC crime. Now some lawmakers are talking about extending the police takeover for as much as 6
5:38 months. And president Trump is said he's open to send in the National Guard to Chicago and Baltimore. We're gonna talk about that soon. But first, welcome to Washington Watch. I'm your guest host, Casey Harper, filling
5:50 in today. We have a great show for you. The DC crime crackdown that we mentioned is working. And now even DC's Democratic mayor, Muriel Bowser, is admitting it.
6:01 The difference between this period, this 20 day period of this federal surge and last year, represents a 87 percent reduction
6:13 in carjackings in Washington DC.
6:17 87 percent. It's a big number. But should that be extended to Chicago or Baltimore or other cities? That's a different question. It's a difficult 1, and we're gonna talk about it soon. Meanwhile, a physician assistant
6:28 was fired from her job for refusing to submit to the pronoun police. Now she's taken the hospital to court, and we have her law lawyer here later in the show to explain how in the world something like this could happen
6:40 and could it happen to you. And we'll take another dive into the tragic news out of Minneapolis where a trans shooter killed 2 kids, wounded 14 more, as well as 3 adults
6:52 at a Catholic church during mass. You know, that terrible attack, it makes you wanna pray. It makes your heart go out to those families, to the victims, but the leftists are angry about that. They don't want you to pray.
7:03 Here's Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey after the shooting.
7:07 Don't just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now.
7:09 These kids were literally praying.
7:12 It was the first week of school. They were in a church.
7:17 Jim Psaki, she chimed in too on x saying, prayer is not enough. Enough with the thoughts and prayers. Okay. Our vice president, JD Vance, shot back on x o, and he gave
7:28 her a reality check. He said, we pray because our hearts are broken, you know, and we're gonna dive into why the left is upset about this and just prayer in general instead of the real causes of these shootings.
7:41 You know, the shooting does make you wonder how much of this is mental health, how much of it is spiritual. Of course, we are in a spiritual battle. Well, we have a guest today to talk about that very question. But
7:51 first, as I mentioned at the top of the program, president Trump's crime crackdown on DC is working. Republican members of Congress, they've proposed several pieces of legislation to help him out to
8:03 even extend that 30 days of control to as much as 6 months. They're back in session next week, but will they, extend that control before the September tenth deadline? Joining me now to
8:14 discuss this and more is congressman Jim Baird. He serves on the house 3 house committees, including the foreign affairs committee, and he represents the fourth congressional district of Indiana. Congressman, welcome
8:25 back to Washington Watch.
8:27 Thank you. Appreciate you, Beatty.
8:29 Of course. So before we dive into the DC crime crackdown, which I'm very interested in, I do wanna get your thoughts on this tragic shooting Wednesday in Minneapolis.
8:39 You know, it's always heartbreaking to see little kids, hating 11 year olds and then actually killed and then several others wounded. You just your
8:51 heart goes out to those families, and we certainly, wanna support them and support them with prayer and support them with any other means that we can to help them get
9:03 through this difficult period. But it's just a senseless situation. And you mentioned earlier that it really, gets gets, into the mental
9:15 health situation.
9:16 Mhmm.
9:16 And we need to recognize that we need to provide opportunities for people to have the kind of help they need to get through not doing or
9:28 make them stop doing that kind of thing.
9:30 Right. Yeah. I I think you're right about that. It's an unsolved problem so far. I don't think we talk enough about it. You mentioned the prayer. What do you make of this kind of backlash from so many on the left now
9:42 against prayer? I I don't think it's you know, prayer and action are not mutually exclusive and often the former fuels the latter. What do you make of this?
9:53 Well, I think prayers do work, and I think that that if you can't understand that and realize that God's there to you for you to share whatever you would like
10:05 with him, but he's always there, and prayers do work.
10:10 Well, I I couldn't amen that more, and that's a a good note to to end on when we talk about that topic. And I do wanna turn to what's going on in DC. Of course, we're based in here in DC. We're seeing what's going on
10:22 every day. And there's been some controversy, but what president Trump is doing with the National Guard and the federal agents is clearly working. Even the DC mayor admitted as much. And now we have a new AP poll, which
10:33 found that the majority of Americans actually approve of what president Trump is doing, despite all the backlash and the the loudness from the vocal minority. Are you surprised that he's got that support?
10:45 Not at all. I think many of us feel like the that, it's important to have a safe capital and and some of these other cities really need to be safe where it were.
10:57 They're enduring, the killing and all the sort of, homicides that are taking place. And and then the police's hands are tied so they can't really get involved or do anything
11:09 about any any major's, commitment. So
11:16 Yeah. Well, you know, I think that we're seeing that, and the crime now has just gotten so bad that it really it begs the help, especially, you know, president Trump mentioned Baltimore. I can't think of a city that I
11:26 feel less safe in than Baltimore, and I've traveled around the world and been some, you know, quote, unquote dangerous places. And, honestly, Baltimore, just north of DC, has felt less safe than many of them. But at the
11:36 same time, I I feel this question of, at what point is it federal overreach to be sending, you know, federal agents and the National Guard to these cities? So how do we think about this issue? We wanna do
11:48 deal with crime. It's worked in DC, but we also wanna be wary of federal overreach. How how do you think about that, congressman?
11:55 Well, it's important it's important that that, the criminal element sees that we are gonna do something about them, preying on our, people in these
12:07 various cities. And so sometimes you have to use a significant force for them to get the message. And if we're not gonna back up our police then the next thing is to use the National Guard. And so
12:19 so we can still get the kind of enforcement that we need when we enforce our laws. And that makes them respect, the community
12:31 and can and be Right.
12:39 Yeah. I mean, I think the the respect is key, and I it's interesting you mentioned enforcing the laws because part of the problem here is so many Democratic mayors and Democratic governments, local state, are just not
12:49 enforcing the laws. Prosecutors aren't prosecuting. And so it's putting us in a difficult position where we might have to choose between sending federal agents to do something that really the local prosecutors and local
12:59 governments should be doing, but it may be changing. The president's approach is working, and even California governor Gavin Newsom, he may be copying him. So yesterday, Newsom announced a new plan. He's deploying
13:11 California's highway patrol. He's calling them the crime suppression teams. He sent them all over the state to prevent crime and promote public safety. It seems like Newsom is copying Trump a lot lately. So so some
13:23 Democrats aren't happy about what Trump is doing, and he's done any of DC and other cities. But it seems like Newsom is copying him. How did how are Democrats supposed to react on this this issue where Trump is is kind
13:34 of, is winning?
13:36 Well, you know, I have tremendous respect for our law enforcement and even our state troopers, here in Indiana as well as other other states. And so when you have the the backup that they need in order to
13:48 do their job, that's extremely important. And, you know, you wouldn't wanna go out there and risk your life every day.
13:55 Right.
13:55 If you didn't have the backup. And that's just like the military. When you got a commander in chief that will back you up just like president Trump, then everyone recognizes how important that is. And you certainly
14:07 wouldn't be willing to go as as willing anyway, to go forward in a dangerous situation like that if you really didn't feel like you had to back up. And I think it's extremely important that we
14:19 support our law enforcement, and this country is a is a country of laws, and we need to make sure that we can enforce that.
14:28 Yeah. I mean, it's gotta be discouraging for these officers, and I've talked to some of them, who say, you know, I'm risking my life. I'm arresting people. And then, the prosecutors aren't even prosecuting in many cases
14:38 or, you know I mean, some of these guys, they know that if they go to a certain judge, they're just not gonna get a conviction no matter how much evidence they have because the some of the judges have become so
14:47 politicized. So that's gotta be, as you said, discouraging for law enforcement to risk their lives when the system is not backing them up.
14:55 I can't imagine, you know, that catch and release kind of idea where you catch them for right maybe with a lot of evidence, and then you take them to jail and they go through the process and they're back out
15:07 on the street, a short time later. And so that would be very frustrating to me, and I think it's very frustrating to law enforcement officers.
15:15 Yeah. I think you're you're right about that. So looking ahead, congress is returning from August recess. You've got the NDAA. You've got border security. What should we look for coming out of congress,
15:28 these next few weeks as you come back from recess?
15:31 Well, Well, I think we gotta keep the momentum going, and I think we've gotta make sure that we pass you know, I'd like to see us pass all 12 appropriations bill as we move into the 20 sixth, fiscal year. And I
15:42 think it's gonna be opportunity for us to really fine tune and tweak our budget process. And by the way, the 25 cut out
15:54 about 25000000000 dollars in the in this 26 proposal, I think it's gonna cut out another 45000000000. So we're interested in helping reduce the spending as well as
16:06 making sure that we provide a sufficient funding for all those programs that that are beneficial and we we really involve,
16:19 Mhmm. So you meant those cuts. Yeah. I'm glad you brought those up. Those were seen as a big win and a hard fought win, but it sounds like you think there could be even more spending cuts coming even this year?
16:30 Well, you know, this last time we focused on waste, fraud, and abuse. And so the Doge folks uncovered and discovered things that we probably need to continue to look at and evaluate
16:43 and make sure that we have sufficient and proper oversight.
16:47 Yeah. I wanna get your I want okay. I wanna get your reaction to 1 more topic on the on defense and what's going on overseas. We have these new developments in the Russia Ukraine war. Of course, president Trump met with
16:57 Putin in Alaska, and they had these big meetings and different things. But then we haven't necessarily seen Putin changing his behavior yet. We've seen big strikes on Kyiv, that
17:09 were some of the largest since the war began. What do you make of that? Should we give up hope on Russia, or do you think that this is there is still hope?
17:18 I I'm not sure that there's well, there is probably there's always hope. You gotta you gotta pray for peace and and so on. But I my when you look at, Putin and what he's done and how
17:30 many people that he sent into the battle, that ended up as cannon fodder is amazing to me. And I don't I don't support, continuing that. They were the they were the ones
17:42 that, attacked the Ukrainians. I do admire the Ukrainians for their willingness and ability to push back and and and last as long as no 1 probably thought going up against
17:54 Russia that they would last this long, but they have. So I admire their commitment to and protect their country and and move
18:05 forward.
18:06 Yeah. It is admirable. And I think any of us would do the same, of course, if our country were at stake. It raises an interesting question of what is the US role, and how can we support them. There's a lot of questions
18:18 about that. And, it seems like, at least for now, president Trump's meeting with Putin has not yielded the results that many of us hoped for, but it's not too late. Congressman Jim Barrett of Indiana, thanks so much
18:29 for joining us. I really appreciate it.
18:32 Thank you.
The Role of Prayer and Biblical Worldview in Modern Challenges
18:34 Alright. Coming up, we are gonna discuss where the 2 largest teachers unions in the country spent more than 40000000 dollars. And now it has nothing to do with educating your kids. The money went
18:45 to Democrats. Don't go away. You'll hear more about it. Stick around.
18:52 3 years ago, the Supreme Court issued its historic Dobbs decision, a ruling that overturned Roe versus Wade, which for nearly 50 years imposed abortion on demand, silencing voters and
19:04 bypassing the democratic process across the country. The Dobbs decision was a huge step forward against abortion, but it didn't outright ban it. It returned the power to the people. Now
19:15 29 states have laws on the books protecting life. However, there's a catch. Abortion numbers
19:22 since Dobbs have actually gone up with
19:23 an increase of 12
19:23 percent since 20 20. Actually gone up with an increase of 12 percent since 20 20, climbing from 930000 to over 1000000 in each of the most recent years. So how can this
19:34 be? The answer is simple, the abortion drug. Today, over 60 percent of US abortions involve abortion drugs, many of these without medical oversight. In 20
19:46 21, the Biden administration quietly removed bare minimum long standing safety protocols for the abortion drug that have existed for 20 years to protect women from life threatening risks
19:58 and ensuring informed consent. The Biden DOJ then declared that they would not enforce the Comstock Act, which prevents the mailing of anything that causes an abortion. This is not only illegal,
20:10 but also dangerous. A study shows nearly 11 percent of women who take the abortion drug end up in the emergency room with serious complications. Unless the Trump administration
20:22 reverses these reckless Biden era policies, pro life laws will remain largely symbolic. Without a full review and repeal of mifepristone, unborn lives will
20:33 remain in grave danger, and pregnant mothers will remain at risk. Let's stand for life and end this mail order abortion drug pipeline. Sign the petition urging the Trump administration
20:46 to take action at f r c dot org slash stop chemical abortion.
20:53 In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God, and the word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory.

21:57 Good afternoon. Welcome back to Washington Watch. I'm Casey Harper, your host for today. A new report that came out this week put an unwanted spotlight on the nation's 2 largest teachers unions. That report came
22:09 out from defending education and it showed how the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association, those 2 unions, spent more than 40000000 dollars on far left causes in just 2
22:20 years. That includes several massive payouts to Democratic political action committees during the 20 24 election cycle. Imagine if all that money was spent, I don't know, helping the
22:32 education of our nation's children. They're not doing great if you haven't looked into it. Maybe that's too much to ask. I guess we'll find out. Joining me now to discuss this and more is Max Nelson. He's a director of
22:44 research and government affairs at the Freedom Foundation. Max, welcome to Washington Watch.
22:49 Thanks for having me, Casey. Happy to be here.
22:51 Absolutely. So, you know, I think when we see this number, 40000000 dollars, and it's not going, you know, half to Republicans, half to Democrats. It's no secret that teachers, you know, teachers unions give
23:03 to Democrats. But can you unpack for us how they're getting such a large amount of money, and and where exactly is it going?
23:12 So the 2 major teachers' unions in America today are the National Education Association, the NEA, and the American Federation of Teachers. And they have, created an interesting, business
23:24 model for themselves. I think people tend to think of unions as somehow separate from businesses, but but they really aren't. They have, they're large corporate players with financial interests in increasing their
23:34 revenue and and their membership just like any other industry. And so they have turned essentially a monopoly that they've secured on representing teachers and employment matters into a
23:45 massive revenue stream that allows them to divert large sums of members to use money into advancing a far left worldview. And they do that by supporting extremely
23:57 progressive political candidates, organizations, and causes. And you know the, the defending ed report that came out this week, you know, no, no offense meant to
24:09 our friends at defending ed. They're a great organization. They do great work. But even this 40000000 dollars that that has been identified here really is just a small fraction of the total amount of money that these 2
24:19 massive organizations dump into influencing our political system. If you take a maybe a little bit broader view and you encapsulate the union's own political activity through their own political action
24:31 committees, just at the national level, the NEA and the EFT, I think you can get to a number that's about 230000000 dollars that's been spent in the in the most recent fiscal year by these 2 groups influencing
24:44 politics and political debates and and giving to progressive, aligned, nonprofit organizations. And the vast majority of this money is coming out of union dues that are paid by
24:55 teachers with the understanding that they're getting some assistance in workplace representation, and not, I think for a few teachers, then, then should recognize just how much of their money is being
25:07 diverted to the extremely progressive agenda of the 2 national teachers unions.
25:12 Right.
25:12 I mean,
25:12 it's hard to see the 1 to 1 correlation between sending money off to the DNC and helping your average teacher who lives in the Midwest. It seems something like a political project going on here. You mentioned the word
25:23 monopoly, and I think that's very interesting in this because I want you to correct me if I'm wrong here, but my understanding is that there is sort of a government enforced monopoly, which is to say that teachers unions
25:33 give monies to Democrats. Those Democrats go and create laws that are favorable to the teachers unions, like making it harder to leave the teachers' unions or creating narrow opt out windows or or basically creating a
25:44 situation where it's very difficult for teachers to opt out. There are in many cases, that when you get a job, as a teacher, you're automatically paying dues unless you go out of your way to not pay. So you create this
25:55 favorable union environment, so the union gets all the money, and then they turn around and give the money back to the Democrats. Is that a fair characterization?
26:02 That that's absolutely right, Casey. I I think, it's important to note that there's nothing wrong with teachers unions inherently, just like there's nothing wrong with any other membership organization. It's part of
26:12 civil society in America for people to form and join membership organizations to advocate for their shared interests. And there's nothing wrong with teachers doing that. The issue is that many states, not all
26:24 states, but but many states generally left of center politically have passed laws that give teachers unions like the NEA and the AFT incredible privileges under the law. And it looks like a monopoly in 2
26:36 senses. On the 1 hand, there's a series of policies in places like Illinois, New York, California and so on that make it difficult for individual teachers to refrain from union membership. But then there's
26:48 more fundamentally a structure in place in these states that allows a union to get legal recognition under state law as the only entity that can provide workplace representation
27:00 services to teachers in a particular school district. And so if you're in a state like California where the vast majority of these, school districts have been, you know, the teachers union has been legally certified by
27:11 the state, then it doesn't matter if the teacher in that district it doesn't even matter if most of the teachers in that district want to be represented by a different organization or don't want union representation at
27:21 all. This is extremely difficult under the laws in place for them to get out of that union representation. So it is literally in in a traditional economic sense. These are essentially monopoly organizations
27:34 that have gotten a legal legally granted lock on providing a particular service to public sector school teachers in America. There's a few ways around that, but but in practice, that's exactly what
27:46 it looks like. Just like any other monopoly, you see prices go up, higher dues than you would otherwise see. You see competition and accountability go down. And fundamentally, that's the foundation upon which this
27:57 entire political machine is built. It's built on a course of monopoly that allows these unions to extract far more than they otherwise would be able to from teachers' paychecks and to plow the excess into
28:09 advancing their partisan political agenda.
28:11 Right. And it varies state by state. I think that's worth pointing out. So some of the money goes nationally, but there there's whole state infrastructures and Democratic state parties that are very reliant on these
28:19 teachers' unions and its kind of symbiotic relationship. But I think the Democrats are in need of this. I wanna show, this graphic we have of voter registration, and I'll explain it for those listening. But voter
28:31 registration in, all 30 of the states that track, Democratic versus Republican voter registration has actually gone down for Democrats. Not a single state are they seeing an improvement in voter
28:43 registration. And we also have a a poll that we just saw from the Wall Street Journal, which shows that Democrats, favor favorability is at the lowest point that it's been in 3
28:54 decades. And so we got, you know, about 30 seconds here, Max. I guess they need they need the money.
29:00 They they do. And, but I would just caution people. You know, I I think we we tend to maybe underestimate the value of these institutions, in shaping hearts and minds and in our political debates. And I think what
29:12 we're seeing is institutions like the NEA and the AFT are so woefully out of step with the views of most Americans and the values of many of their own members that they really do rely on these forced legal monopolies to
29:24 survive. So it's, it's an area that policymakers should pay close attention to.
29:28 Yeah. I think you're right about that. Thanks so much, Max, director of research and government affairs from the Freedom Foundation. Appreciate you. Coming up, I'll share some good news coming from a federal appeals
29:38 court, which ruled in favor of a physician assistant who was fired from her job for her religious beliefs. You don't wanna miss it. We'll unpack that right after the break. Stick around.
