The Daily Signal - INTERVIEW | US Urged to ‘Reassert Its Role’ as Energy, Political ‘Power Broker’

Fred Zeidman, director and co-chair of Council for a Secure America, says the U.S. must “reassert its role as both an energy and a political power broker.”

“It’s important for the future of mankind. We now have an ability to destroy the earth, and you have a lot of folks that don’t really care if we do it or don’t do it running around with or getting close to having these weapons of mass destruction,” he says. “So, for the sake of our children, our grandchildren, and the future of civilization, we have got to get a grip on this thing.”

“And we’ve got to rein in the rogue countries that are trying to destroy Western civilization and the greatest country in the history of the world, the United States of America,” says Zeidman, whose New York City-based organization focuses on U.S. energy independence as “the underpinning for U.S. security” and on a “strategic alliance with Israel [to] strengthen America’s mutual security and global standing.”

Zeidman joins today’s episode of “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss how the U.S. can supports its allies, notably Taiwan and Ukraine; how the Biden administration’s energy policies specifically have affected U.S. national security; and how he would grade those energy policies.

The Daily Signal - INTERVIEW | Rep. Dan Bishop Sounds Off on Hunter Biden Laptop Cover-Up Revelation

Michael Morell, former deputy director of the CIA, testified that Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who at the time was a senior adviser to the Biden campaign, "played a role in the inception" of the Oct. 19, 2020, letter from 51 former intelligence officials suggesting that "the Hunter Biden laptop was part of a Russian disinformation campaign," Fox News reported.

"It was requested by Antony Blinken, who was working for the Biden campaign, and they were too pleased to do it. So, Michael Morell went out and carried on the effort, and 51 intel agents, or former intel policymakers, were in on it," Rep. Dan Bishop, R-N.C., says. "And of course they hedged their language there, but they gave rise into the media coverage, which was, it was 'Russian disinformation.’"

"It took way past the election, and year and a half or whatever, for media outlets ultimately to acknowledge what it was," the North Carolina lawmaker says. 

The October letter was co-signed by more than four dozen former intelligence officials, among them Jim Clapper, former director of national intelligence; Leon Panetta and John Brennan, former directors of the CIA; Rick Ledgett, former deputy director of the National Security Agency; and Morell.

"What happens now? Well, there are a couple other details there that are of considerable interest to the committee that we're still pursuing. I'll keep those under my hat for the moment," Bishop says. 

Bishop joins today's episode of "The Daily Signal Podcast" to also discuss an IRS whistleblower's allegations relating to Hunter Biden, the long-term impact of the southern border crisis and what's causing the uptick in illegal immigrant crossings, and the Republicans' proposed Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023 on the debt ceiling.

The Daily Signal - INTERVIEW | Rep. Chip Roy’s Prescription to Secure Border: Use Power of Purse to ‘Bring President to His Knees’

If America’s southern border is to be secured, Congress must “use the power of the purse to bring the president to his knees and [make him] sit at the table,” Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, says. 

President Joe Biden's border policies are enriching China and harming the American people, Roy argues. 


“The fact of the matter is we know that 90% of the precursors or the finished product fentanyl is coming from China,” Roy says, adding that Biden’s border policies are serving China “because they make money on it [and by] giving China a foothold in Mexico.”


Congress should impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and hold him accountable for the crisis at the southern border, Roy says. 


“He lied to us,” Roy says of Mayorkas. “We know that he knew full well that he didn't have operational control [of the border] when he said he did.”


Roy joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain the case for impeaching Mayorkas and what Republicans are doing to secure the border.

The Daily Signal - INTERVIEW | Texas AG Ken Paxton Explains How Biden Has Made Mexican Cartels ‘Very Wealthy’

Biden administration officials “want the cartels to maximize profits,” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton contends. 


President Joe Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas have created “opportunities for the cartels to expand their network, not just in Mexico or Central America, but across our country,” Paxton, a Republican, says. 


Since Biden took office, more than 5 million illegal aliens have been encountered at the southern border.  Already this fiscal year, which began Oct. 1, more than 1.2 million illegal aliens have been encountered at the border. 


Given the current situation on the border, Mayorkas should “absolutely” be impeached, Paxton says. 


Mayorkas “is a pathetic leader,” the Texas attorney general says, adding, that the homeland security chief “is there to destroy our immigration system. And he mocks us every day when he lies to us and says there's no problem, that he's doing his job.”


Paxton joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the more than a dozen border crisis-related lawsuits his office has filed against the Biden administration and what will happen after Title 42, a public health measure that was put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic, is lifted.

The Daily Signal - INTERVIEW | What Real Challenges Are for Pro-Life Movement in Post-Roe v. Wade America

The fight to protect life is, in some ways, even more challenging today than it was a year ago, Brian Westbrook says.

The Supreme Court’s June 2022 ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade, was a major victory for life, according to Westbrook, founder and executive director of the national sidewalk counseling organization Coalition Life.

But, he adds, "there's a lot of work that needs to be done.”

“Our opponents are not going away, and we need to be vigilant in fighting back and ensuring that we can protect mothers and protect children,” Westbrook says.

In the state of Illinois, for example, there's a bill being pushed by pro-abortion advocates that could “shut down the 90 different [varieties] of pregnancy centers and maternity homes in Illinois,” he says. 

In an effort to encourage and mobilize the pro-life movement, Coalition Life is inviting Americans to St. Louis on April 29 for a march to support women and be a voice for the unborn. 

Westbrook joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the opposition the pro-life movement is currently facing and why sidewalk counseling remains such a powerful tool in serving women facing a crisis pregnancy.
