The Daily Signal - The Whistleblower, Impeachment, and New York’s Orwellian Speech Policy

New York City is banning the term “illegal alien”—and what’s more, they say they’ll fine you up to a quarter-million dollars if you say it. Today, we’ll discuss that situation with Heritage Foundation legal expert Hans von Spakovsky. We’ll also have him weigh in on the latest impeachment news, and whether foreign leaders staying at the Trump International Hotel in D.C. is a problem.

We also cover these stories:

  • President Trump urges Ukraine and China to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son
  • House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy asks Speaker Nancy Pelosi to stop the impeachment proceedings until she answers key questions
  • A doctor in England who lost his job after refusing to use transgender pronouns loses his legal case
