Battle for Senate GOP Leader: Rick Scott Aims to Shake Up Status Quo Jun 03, 2024

Show notes

For the past 18 years, Senate Republicans have had one leader: Mitch McConnell took the job in 2006 and has retained it ever since. But with his decision to step down from the post after November’s elections, there are three Republicans vying to replace him.

One of them is Sen. Rick Scott of Florida. He was first elected to the Senate in 2018 and ran against McConnell two years ago.

He’s now competing with Sens. John Cornyn of Texas and John Thune of South Dakota to win the support of his Senate Republican colleagues.

The Daily Signal invited all three senators to discuss their plans, and Scott was the first to accept our request.

How Illegal Immigration Has Created ‘High Threat Level’ for Terrorist Attack in US May 31, 2024

Show notes

America is facing a “high threat level” for a terrorist attack because of the crisis at the southern border, says the head of a group working to curb illegal immigration.

“It does not take a lot of people to inflict an extraordinary amount of damage,” said Julie Kirchner, executive director for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, citing the 19 terrorists that carried out the attacks on 9/11.

Kirchner says more incidents are happening across America that should raise alarm bells over the threat illegal immigration poses to the safety of the nation. At the beginning of May, for example, two Jordanian illegal aliens attempted to breach a U.S. military base in Quantico, Virginia.

One of the men is reported to have crossed the southern border in April and another overstayed a student visa. The two men tried to drive onto the base “and only due to the quick thinking of some of these guards were they stopped,” Kirchner said, adding that “people need to understand what's going on, because this is a national emergency.”

After more than 10 million illegal aliens have crossed the U.S. border under President Joe Biden, the administration has indicated Biden plans to issue an executive order on the border. Kirchner notes the announcement of a forthcoming executive action on the border comes “six months before … a presidential election.”

The head of the Federation for American Immigration Reform joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain how America’s border crisis opened a door for terrorism in America, and what can be learned from the recent incident in Quantico.

How ‘Faith and Reason Can Win the Culture War’ May 30, 2024

Show notes

Unlikely alliances are forming across America as Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox Jews, classic liberals, and traditional conservatives are all troubled by a spreading political ideology that has abandoned reason, the author of a new book on the subject says.

Americans are seeing a contingent on the Left that “has gone completely mad,” says Jay Richards, co-author of “Fight the Good Fight: How an Alliance of Faith and Reason Can Win the Culture War.”

“We're not dealing with a kind of Walter Mondale-John F. Kennedy liberalism of the 1960s,” he explains. “We're dealing with a radical postmodernism, and we call this 'woke ideology' because we don't have a word for it, but it really is radical, and it's all about basically destabilizing the current order.”

Issues such as diversity, equity, and inclusion curriculums in schools and gender-identity ideology have “awakened” Americans across political and faith divides, says Richards, who also serves as director of the DeVos Center for Life, Religion, and Family at The Heritage Foundation. (Heritage founded The Daily Signal in 2014.)

Richards joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the unique alliances the radical Left’s agenda has unintentionally created and to explain how faith and reason can work together to win the culture war.

Defeating the Radical Left: Chris Rufo Talks Strategy and Resilience May 29, 2024

Show notes

Chris Rufo wrote “America’s Cultural Revolution” last year as a warning to conservatives about the radical Left's takeover of institutions—from business and government to education and entertainment. In addition to being an exposé, it also served as a call to action.

Now, a year later, Rufo is optimistic that Americans, including some to left of center politically, are "waking up." He attributes the change to the gruesome and deadly Oct. 7, 2023, attack by Hamas and the radical Left's unflinching (and often antisemitic) criticism of Israel that followed.

"After 10/7, when those same people who were marching for BLM, who were pushing trans in schools, who were ramping up DEI, when they're out there celebrating the terrorists who butchered, raped, and murdered innocent people, I think it caused this moment of horror, but also this moment of clarity," Rufo told The Daily Signal.

The popular writer, filmmaker, and activist—whose work is available at ChristopherRufo.com—was in Washington, D.C., last week to accept The Heritage Foundation’s prestigious Salvatori Prize.

Chris Rufo's Quest to Abolish DEI May 28, 2024

Show notes

Chris Rufo was in Washington, D.C., last week to accept The Heritage Foundation’s prestigious Salvatori Prize and visited The Daily Signal to share his thoughts on a range of topics. Over the next two days, we will feature his interview on this show.

On part one today, we cover Rufo’s recent reporting on NPR and the plagiarism plague at America’s leading universities. He also shares an update about his campaign to abolish DEI—the controversial idea of diversity, equity, and inclusion that has infested American businesses, colleges, and even our government.

And you won’t want to miss Rufo’s advice for how high school students should approach college and what parents need to think about sending their kids to public school.

We’ll be back with more from Rufo tomorrow on his award-winning book, “America’s Cultural Revolution,” and what he has planned next.
