What A Day - A Breath Of Fresh Mondaire

Former U.S. Congressman Mondaire Jones is once again running for Congress in New York’s 17th district, a seat he previously held and lost after redistricting changed his reelection plans. We’re joined by the former congressman to talk about his comeback bid, his connection to New York’s Hudson Valley, and more.


And in headlines: intense rain and flooding across the globe has left dozens of people missing or dead, the New York Times has announced plans to shut down its sports desk, and trans people in Kansas can no longer change the sex listed on their driver's license.

The Daily Signal - INTERVIEW | Exposing Biden Administration’s DEI Agenda

The Biden administration's embrace of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives represents an effort to “create equality of outcomes rather than equality of opportunity,” Tarren Bragdon says. 



Bragdon, president and CEO of the Foundation for Government Accountability, says the current administration has taken actions to “use the power of the federal government to force certain political goals that really judge people based on the color of their skin, or maybe even their gender identity.”



Bragdon joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss how the Foundation for Government Accountability is working to expose questionable policies within the Biden administration.
