The Daily Signal - What You Need to Know About Biden Administration’s Illegal Immigration Claims
The Department of Homeland Security said two weeks ago that illegal border crossings are on pace to reach their highest level in two decades.
Meanwhile, President Joe Biden's administration is making claims such as that border crises happen every year and that former President Donald Trump’s policies didn’t reduce illegal crossings.
Lora Ries, senior research fellow for homeland security at The Heritage Foundation, joins "The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss those claims.
We also cover these stories:
- The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, warned Americans that a fourth coronavirus surge could be on the way if more precautions aren’t taken.
- The CDC said in a new study that the Moderna and Pfizer coronavirus vaccines prevent about 90% of infections.
- In the opening arguments of the trial of Derek Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer, prosecutors said that he “betrayed” his badge by using unnecessary force on George Floyd, who died in police custody last May.

Then we've got Ace Associate Morgan Stringer on for some pop-law! She gives us the breakdown on the lawsuits filed against DeShaun Watson which allege sexual assault.

The Improvement Association - Trailer
A new podcast from the makers of "Serial" and The New York Times. For at least a decade, allegations of cheating have swirled around elections in rural Bladen County, N.C.

These accusations have never been substantiated, but they persist. In this five-part series, reporter Zoe Chace travels to Bladen County, N.C., to investigate the power of election fraud allegations.
