7:20 a.m. - Delbert Hosemann - MS Lt. Governor

Topic: The Lt. Governor’s overview and status report on major legislation still pending in the 2024 session. What the major differences are between the House and Senate on those bills and the Senate’s side of the issue. Top bills are Medicaid expansion, Education funding formulas, funding for MDOT’s future products, etc. Also want to discuss conference weekend where these bills will likely have make or break moments.

8:05 a.m. - Julie Kirchner - Executive Director, FAIR (Federation for American Immigration Reform)

Topic: FAIR’s perspective on the concerns regarding America’s border, or lack there-of, in relation to the Israel/Iran conflict. Because America is showing such strong support and defense of Israel are there concerns with America’s own safety as thousands of immigrants pour through our borders daily from who knows where? Also, with the historic influx of illegal immigrants into the country what does this mean to the power of the Palestinian movement in America?
