The Daily Signal - Rep. Kevin Hern Presents a GOP Budget to Fix America

As Americans watch their government leaders spend more and more, the average citizen is struggling to pay for food and gas. It seems that the Biden administration is more concerned with placating a base of radical leftists than crafting a federal budget designed to help everyday Americans.

To Rep. Kevin Hern, R-Okla., the government needs to focus on balancing its budget, especially as it continues to spend exorbitant amounts of money.

"The only place in America without a balanced budget has been the federal government, and we're seeing the ramifications of that with high inflation, skyrocketing fuel prices, skyrocketing food prices," Hern says. "The list goes on and on."

Hern says the out-of-control government spending under President Joe Biden has dire consequences for the safety of the nation.

"I think if we don't start now, we're never going to get our federal spending under control," the Oklahoma Republican says. "Interest on our debt is going to be higher than our defense budget in just five years. Much of that interest is going to go to China, where they're going to use their money to build a defense to come after us."

Hern joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss House Republicans' budget proposal and what the consequences of Biden's budget would be.

We also cover these stories:

  • An armed man from California is arrested near Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s house in Maryland and says that he came to murder the justice.
  • Fourth grader Miah Cerrillo speaks about her experience surviving the massacre at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.
  • Biden admits that voters have sent a clear message that politicians need to be tougher on crime, after the successful recall election for San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin.

The Daily Signal - What the Media, Politicians, Get Wrong on Guns

In the aftermath of a series of horrible mass shootings across the country, there is a knee-jerk reaction to demonize gun owners and call for sweeping gun control legislation.

But more often than not, those in the media and political classes calling for assault weapon bans and other gun control don't understand the very things they're legislating.

"There's just a complete lack of basic knowledge on the topic of firearms," says Stephen Gutowski. "How they work, how they're regulated, what the politics even are around them, why people oppose different policies that are often put forward in the wake of these shootings."

Gutowski is a firearms reporter and founder of gun news site thereload.com.

He joins this bonus episode of The Daily Signal Podcast to discuss gun laws, and proposed gun control legislation.

Consider This from NPR - A First Step To Crypto Regulation, Or A Step Backwards?

Nearly everyone agrees the cryptocurrency industry needs regulation, but there are huge disagreements about what that should look like.

A Senate bill proposes a new regulatory framework for the industry. Cosponsors Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyoming) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) argue that their bill hits the "sweet spot" between allowing innovation and protecting consumers.

Software engineer Molly White, who runs the blog Web3 is going just great, says that the bill is too industry-friendly, and puts into legislation the "foggy regulatory space" that crypto companies have taken advantage of.

The Daily Signal - How Vocational-Technical Schools Are Helping Students Achieve the American Dream

The Pioneer Institute is out with a new book, "Hands-On Achievement: Massachusetts' National Model Vocational-Technical Schools," which finds that vocational-technical high schools have lower dropout rates and on-par test scores with traditional high schools.

The Boston-based think tank also makes the case that these high-performing schools in Massachusetts should serve as a national model, both to address the student loan crisis and a shortage of skilled labor in America.

Joining us on "The Daily Signal Podcast" are Jamie Gass, Pioneer Institute's director of the Center for School Reform, and David Ferreira, a former vocational-technical school administrator and teacher who edited "Hands-On Achievement."

On today's show, we also cover these stories:

  • Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen tells lawmakers she expects inflation to remain high.
  • The Department of Homeland Security warns Americans that there is a heightened threat environment for political violence
  • Three major TV networks—ABC, CBS, and NBC—plan to air a congressional hearing hosted by the Jan. 6 committee in primetime.
