First I explore some places where we have lost our sense as conservatives of where our policy baseline is on culture and immigration. Ilhan Omar’s views on Jews, as Democrats now admit, stem from a cultural problem. When did we believe it’s acceptable to bring in people in such large numbers from cultures that don’t share our universal values? Even Democrats of yesteryear warned against it.
This also ties into what is going on at our southern border, where we have countenanced this notion that we must admit anyone who comes here, no matter the consequences to our culture, schools, public services, and public health. The emergency continues to intensify.
Next, I’m joined by Rep. Chip Roy of Texas’ 21st Congressional District. He updates us on the state of play on budget and health care after today’s Budget Committee hearing on the president’s annual budget request. We explore how Republicans refuse to go on offense and continue to accept the soft, inexorable slide into socialism. He also weighs in on his latest bill, co-sponsored by Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., to designate some of the Mexican cartels as terrorist groups as part of a holistic approach to the sources of our border, immigration, and drug problems.
