<p>This week, guest host Dan Hugger, Sarah Negri, and Dylan Pahman discuss the diplomatic crisis unfolding in the wake of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan.

What can we learn about the future of the abortion debate in America from this result? Then we discuss the recent Republican primary election in Michigan’s 3rd congressional district between John Gibbs and Congressman Peter Meijer. What does this close race tell us about the state of the Republican Party and the near-future prospects for American politics at large?</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.acton.org/audio" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Subscribe to our podcasts</strong></a></p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.npr.org/2022/08/02/1114852740/pelosi-is-about-to-land-in-taiwan-heres-why-thats-a-big-deal" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pelosi has landed in Taiwan.
