Three months into his tenure as Virginia’s attorney general, Jason Miyares is delivering on his promises to promote parental rights and punish violent criminals. Those issues animated voters last November and they’re now front and center for the state’s top law enforcement officer. Miyares is part of a trio of Republicans who sent shockwaves through Richmond, unseating a two-term Democrat attorney general—the first to beat an incumbent for the job since 1885. Just days after taking office, Miyares found himself defending Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s executive order empowering parents to decide if their kids should be masked in school. He hasn’t slowed down since. Miyares joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss parental rights, rogue prosecutors, and his family’s escape from Communist Cuba.

The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Monday in football coach Joe Kennedy’s case, and ultimately decide whether a public school employee is allowed to participate in silent prayer in view of students while on the clock. In 2015, Kennedy lost his job as an assistant football coach at a high school in Washington state after taking a knee in silent prayer on the 50-yard line after games. “The only thing I'm asking the Supreme Court is that I get to be a coach, and I get to thank God afterwards,” Kennedy says.

While he gained initial attention for speaking out against the genocidal Chinese Communist Party, basketball player Enes Kanter Freedom has been a human rights advocate for near a decade now. Freedom believes that due to his status as a famous athlete, he has a responsibility to speak up for causes he's passionate about. "If you are an athlete, you can inspire millions of people out there, especially kids, especially our young generation," Freedom says. "If you are well educated enough, if you know what you are talking about, yes, it is important to stand up for things that you believe in."

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.

During our recent visit to the border, we had the chance to speak with @RSScott_BP252 — the former head of U.S. Border Patrol — on how cartels are eagerly taking advantage of the crisis there.

This seemingly tranquil stretch of the Rio Grande is, in reality, controlled by cartels who use it for illicit activities. We went to a water treatment facility nestled on the river’s edge in Hidalgo, Texas to speak with local stakeholders on how they’ve been impacted by the surging illegal immigration and the increase in organized crime accompanying it.

As gas and other energy prices continue to soar, Americans are desperate for relief. The question is, what does Congress plan to do about it? Rep. Debbie Lesko, a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, has some answers on today’s edition of “The Daily Signal Podcast.” Lesko, R-Ariz., pledges that if the GOP regains the majority in Congress, lawmakers will act swiftly to reduce gas prices and increase America’s energy independence. “Republicans will introduce legislation to codify into law some of the rules and regulations that the Trump administration put forward … to reduce the time for permitting of new production facilities, reduce the time of permitting for new pipelines, and help Americans increase U.S. oil and gas production,” Lesko says. “When Republicans come into control, we want to put America first,” she says. Lesko discusses the Biden administration’s failure to manage gas prices, and what congressional Republicans see as the solutions.

Media bias and dishonest journalism today seem worse than ever. Hollywood is embracing more and more explicit content, and even pushing it on our kids. And conservatives can’t catch a break with Big Tech, which has resorted to censoring and suppressing content at an alarming rate. For 35 years, Brent Bozell has taken on the elites in media, Hollywood, and Big Tech. He’s built the Media Research Center into a powerhouse, created the Parents Television Council, aided grassroots activists with ForAmerica, and is now championing the First Amendment with the Free Speech Alliance. Bozell joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to talk about the media, Big Tech, and his new book “Stops Along the Way: A Catholic Soul, a Conservative Heart, an Irish Temper, and a Love of Life.” Still haven’t subscribed to The Daily Signal on YouTube?

On Monday, President Biden announced his federal budget for 2023. Contained within was a wishlist of leftist policy proposals, as well as an unprecedented unrealized gains tax. To Oklahoma Congressman Kevin Hern, Biden's budget fails to help Americans deal with exploding inflation and doubles down on the deficit spending that got America into this mess in the first place. "The Biden budget is horrendous. It increases spending by some $75 trillion over the next decade. It increases taxes by $55 trillion. We got $55 trillion in taxes. So you do the math and that's $20 trillion in additional debt over the next decade on top of our $31 trillion now," says Hern. "So by his own budget, it never balances, and we have over $50 trillion in debt in 10 years." Worse still, that increase in debt compounds horrific inflation. Hern and his GOP colleagues have an alternative; a plan that lowers the deficit and unleashes the American economy.

Amazon has told employees at one of its downtown Seattle locations they can work from an alternative location due to an increase in crime in the city. Failed government policies have led to tens of thousands living on Seattle’s streets, which in turn has contributed to the crime spike. Still haven’t subscribed to The Daily Signal on YouTube?

“We all have had the seasons of waiting, of longing, of having to be patient, not understanding what God is doing,” Bream, host of “Fox News @ Night,” says. Reading and studying the stories of the women in the Bible give us “the advantage of looking back over time in history and seeing how [God] was working,” she says. In her new book, “The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak: Lessons on Faith from Nine Biblical Families,” Bream explains how women in the Bible persevered against great odds, and found hope in the Lord that does not disappoint. She joins the “Problematic Women” podcast to discuss how the stories of the women in the Bible have affected her personally, and how we can all find courage in the pages of Scripture.

We can’t sugar-coat America’s past of slavery, Dean Nelson, chairman of The Frederick Douglass Foundation, says. Nelson’s great-great-grandmother was a slave.

The nation, and the world, will be watching President Joe Biden Tuesday night as he delivers his first State of the Union address. Republican members of Congress would like Biden to address inflation, the crisis on the southern border, and America’s response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. But the president will likely deflect responsibility for the crises our country is facing today, the GOP members say.

In his #SOTU address, Rep. Tony Gonzales says Biden must acknowledge the crisis at the southern border—and the over 100,000 fentanyl/drug overdose deaths in the United States since he took office

“Mr. President, you need to apologize.” — Rep. Darrell Issa

Rep. Mike Waltz would like to see “a little bit of intellectual honesty” from the president during the #SOTU tonight.

Rep. Byron Donalds tells us Biden's should address American energy independence, rising inflation, the crisis at the southern border, and our standing on the world stage during the #SOTU But he expects we'll get “more of the same...”

“I think he’s going to ignore the problems instead of facing them head on.” Rep. Andy Biggs gives us his predictions of Biden’s #SOTU address.

When Joe Biden took office, we were assured that the adults were back in charge. As we now mark the first State of the Union, here are six ways the Biden administration, aka the adults, have failed us. Still haven’t subscribed to The Daily Signal on YouTube?
