The Daily Signal - How America Is Doing 1 Year Into Biden’s Presidency

President Joe Biden has been in office for just over a year, and Rep. Bob Good, R-Va., says the nation would be better off without him at the helm. 

If Biden “went home, back to Delaware to his beach house … and never came out, the country would be much better off,” Good says. “Everything he's done has been harmful to the country.”

As America’s national debt hits $30 trillion, Good joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain the greatest challenges facing the nation and how the Biden administration should address rising prices and the crisis at the southern border.

Also on today's show:

  • Defense Department press secretary John Kirby announces President Biden's plans to deploy 2,000 troops to Germany and Poland.
  • Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell calls for state governments to stop requiring masks for children in schools.
  • Lia Thomas, the transgender swimmer for the University of Pennsylvania, is in troubled waters.

Enjoy the show!

What Next | Daily News and Analysis - A New Kind of Gun Control

A popular, outgoing liberal mayor in Silicon Valley is taking on gun rights groups with a splashy municipal ordinance fashioned to curb gun violence—and be the first of its kind. Gun rights groups are foretelling doom for the new law, and the NRA called it a “ridiculous publicity stunt.” 


Does this city’s initiative have the hallmarks of a breakthrough on gun violence prevention? Will lawsuits tank it before anyone has the chance to find out?


Guest: Sam Liccardo, mayor of San Jose, California.
