Hugh Hewitt Show

This week, I joined The Hugh Hewitt Show to talk about the threat from the Chinese Communist Party, the future of warfare, and what real deterrence looks like. Deterrence only works when our enemies know we’re stronger, faster, and fully prepared to act. That means investing in advanced weapons, strengthening our defense industrial base, and staying ahead in cyber and AI. If we want to prevent a war with China, we need to make sure Xi knows that if he chooses that path, he will lose — and it won’t be a close fight.

Coffee With Crenshaw 

Earlier today, I hosted a Coffee with Crenshaw and had the chance to talk with some of you about President Trump’s first 100 days back in office and answer your questions. It’s always great to hear what’s on your mind — thanks to everyone who came out and joined the conversation! We covered a lot of ground, and I appreciate y’all taking the time to participate. Looking forward to the next one! 

2025 IRS Workshop 

This week, we were delighted to host a successful IRS Workshop in partnership with the Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS). Attendees had the opportunity to ask questions, receive personalized support, and access valuable resources to help address any issues or concerns they faced while filing their taxes.

Thank you to everyone who participated. We hope you found the workshop helpful and informative. We look forward to hosting more great events in the future, so be sure to stay tuned!

Tax Filing Season is Here – What You Need to Know

The IRS has officially opened the 2025 tax filing season and is now accepting 2024 tax returns before the April 15 deadline. Taxpayers in federally declared disaster areas may have additional time to file. 

• Faster Refunds – Most refunds are issued within 21 days if filed electronically. Those eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) may receive refunds by March 3. Track refund status using “Where’s My Refund?” on the IRS’ website or the IRS2Go app.
• Avoid Scams – Be on alert for tax scams and identity theft. The IRS never initiates contact via text, email, or social media about refunds or payments. Stay informed with the latest consumer alerts identified by the IRS.
• Wait to File Until You Have All Documents – Ensure all income and tax documents are received before filing to avoid delays or errors.
  
• Choose a Trusted Tax Professional – Avoid “ghost“ tax preparers who do not sign returns. Always verify a tax preparer’s credentials.

"A Whistleblower & A Former Trans Teen Expose The Medical Establishment’s Radical Gender Ideology"

I sat down with Dr. Eithan Haim and Chloe Cole for DeTrans Awareness Day and the reintroduction of my bill to ban federal funding for children’s hospitals that perform gender transition procedures on minors.

Dr. Haim is the surgeon who blew the whistle on a Texas hospital’s use of trans treatments on minors—only to face a relentless, years-long criminal investigation by the Biden DOJ. He shares his firsthand experience of government overreach and the medical malpractice happening behind closed doors. Chloe, a former trans-identifying teen and now a Patient Advocate for Do No Harm, exposes how social media and unethical doctors manipulate vulnerable kids into making irreversible decisions. We also break down the legal and legislative battles ahead, the impact of President Trump’s executive orders, and what must be done to protect children from harmful, experimental procedures. This is a conversation every American needs to hear.
