The Daily Signal - Rep. Mike Johnson: Americans Have 3 Big Concerns Right Now

Americans are worried about "three I's" right now: inflation, immigration, and general incompetence, Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., says.


Citizens across the country are "deeply concerned about grocery prices and the price of fuel to fill up the gas tank," Johnson says. "And they see the wave of illegal migrants coming over the border, and they don't see any end to it. They're frustrated with us for our inability to do anything about it right now."


The Louisiana Republican joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss what he and other conservative lawmakers are doing to address these "three I's," and how the Biden administration has failed to tackle the challenges America faces.


Also on today's show, we cover these stories:

  • Florida takes a stand against potentially “irreversible” transgender treatments for children. 
  • State senators in Florida vote to eliminate a special tax district that allowed the Walt Disney Co. to self-govern the land where Disney World sits. 
  • Two Republican senators ask Secretary of State Antony Blinken to move the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine back to the capital city, Kyiv.


Enjoy the show!

Consider This from NPR - How The War In Ukraine Is Deepening The World’s Hunger Crisis

The pains of every war ripple out beyond the borders of the conflict zone. And as the war between Russia and Ukraine drags on, the disruptions in the global food supply chain are beginning to deepen the already dire hunger crisis around the world.

Ukraine and Russia combined export 30% of the world's wheat, in addition to other food supplies. Now, because of the ongoing war, the price of food worldwide is skyrocketing and 38 countries are facing acute food insecurity, meaning they are just one step from famine.

NPR global health and development correspondent Nurith Aizenman reports on how the war is driving up prices.

David Beasley, executive director of the UN World Food Programme, talks about how food insecurity looks inside of Ukraine, and what is to come for the rest of the world.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
