They ask about his decision to stay in Kyiv, which countries are proving most helpful and whether he always had all those green clothes. They find a man who speaks of determination and honesty, and whose sense of humour remains remarkably undimmed.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla.—Republicans say they have a plan to address the biggest problems facing our country, problems they say the left created.  

"We are seeing the results of unified far-left Democrat government and how that's caused an inflation crisis, an energy crisis with the highest prices at the pump in our nation's history, ... [and] a national security crisis with a Russia rising and invading Ukraine," Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York, chair of the House Republican Conference, told The Daily Signal at the 2022 House Republican Issues Conference.

House Republicans last week gathered here, just south of Jacksonville, for their annual retreat to discuss their agenda and solutions to challenges across the country. 

Joining “The Daily Signal Podcast” from the retreat are Stefanik, the House's No. 3 Republican, and Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., the No. 2 Republican. They discuss GOP proposals to solve the crisis on the southern border, lower inflation, and stop the crime spike in American cities.
