Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis from New York discusses a pressing issue with John Solomon on this podcast episode that impacts both our wallets and our conscience: the $20 billion a year spent on animal research funded by taxpayer dollars. This shocking figure represents not only a substantial financial burden but also a moral dilemma as many of these experiments are cruel and unnecessary.

Congresswoman Malliotakis highlights the alarming reality that hundreds of thousands of animals, including cats, dogs, and monkeys, are subjected to inhumane testing in federal labs. These experiments often yield little to no benefit for public health, raising the question of why we continue to fund such practices. In fact, some of these experiments are conducted overseas in countries with subpar safety conditions, which could potentially lead to public health crises.
