The Daily Signal - Trump’s Ambassador to Mexico Details Biden’s Failures on Border

Under President Donald Trump, the number of illegal immigrants crossing into the U.S. fell. But now, under President Joe Biden, that progress has been reversed and record numbers of migrants are making their way across the border illegally.

To Christopher Landau, former U.S. ambassador to Mexico, this didn't have to be the case.

"I'm not sure I would say that Biden has a vision about the relationship with Mexico. To be honest with you, I think he just doesn't want to do what Trump did," Landau says.

"Biden and a lot of people in his party spent four years saying that Trump was literally Hitler and that these were terrible border policies," the former ambassador adds. "And so on Day One, they came in with a lot of activists who had been the ones screaming the loudest against Trump and [issued] all kinds of orders, executive orders that basically loosened control over the border. And not surprisingly, that immediately led to a huge wave of people."

Landau joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss his tenure representing America abroad, and how we can fix the ongoing crisis in border security.

We also cover these stories:

  • Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., says he won't support a Biden nominee for a top position at the Federal Reserve.
  • Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., introduces an amendment to reorganize Dr. Anthony Fauci's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy plans to speak to the U.S. Congress in a virtual address.

What Next | Daily News and Analysis - What Banning Russian Oil Really Means

While the U.S. ban on Russian oil correlates with rising prices in the U.S., it’s still subject to a global market that was on the upswing anyway. In the long run, could the rising prices, whether the result of the ban or not, actually help accelerate decarbonization efforts and move the U.S. to more sustainable forms of energy?

NPR's Book of the Day - Author NoViolet Bulawayo’s novel ‘Glory’ draws inspiration from the Orwellian

Author NoViolet Bulawayo's new novel Glory is quite openly based on Orwell's Animal Farm and the 2017 coup in Zimbabwe that ousted then president Robert Mugabe. Horses rule the country, dogs are the military, cows, goats, sheep, and pigs are the everyday people. The government that has been in control of the country Jidada for 40 years has fallen to rebellion. But, as these things go, it quickly turns sour. Bulawayo told NPR's Scott Simon that "it is simply an issue of the leadership kind of forgetting [...] why the people they – that fought to serve – made the sacrifice that they did."

Short Wave - Humble Pi: Enjoying When Math Goes Awry

Over the last 24 hours, some of us Short Wavers celebrated Pi Day the only way we know how: eating some yummy pie and thinking math thoughts. Here on the show, many of us are math enthusiasts. But none of us claims to be a math perfectionist. We think there's at least as much joy and insight in the mistakes as there is in what we get right. It's a lesson we discussed in today's episode about Matt Parker's book, Humble Pi. It's an oldie but a goodie from our archives.We hope it inspires you to continue to celebrate pi and math everyday.
