Violent criminals are being given a “slap on the wrist” and released back onto the streets in eight cities across America, says author Charles “Cully” Stimson. Between the “defund the police” movement and the election of “[George] Soros’ bought-and-paid-for rogue prosecutors, crime exploded,” says Stimson, co-author of the new book “Rogue Prosecutors: How Radical Soros Lawyers Are Destroying America’s Communities.” The term “rogue prosecutor” refers to “those who are funded by, or inspired and supported by, the George Soros network,” says Stimson, who is a senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation. Stimson’s co-author, Zack Smith, is also a legal fellow there. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.) Soros is a left-wing billionaire who has used his vast wealth to further the Left’s agenda, including spending “$40 million in [district attorney] races,” Stimson says, adding that in cities where these “rogue prosecutors” have been elected with Soros money, crime has spiked. As an example, Stimson compares two cities, “San Diego and Philadelphia, tied as the seventh-largest cities in the United States.” “The difference between a real prosecutor in San Diego with [District Attorney] Summer Stephan and a rogue prosecutor like Larry Krasner [in Philadelphia] absolutely impacts your public safety privilege. And both big cities [have] gangs. San Diego [is] right on the border by Tijuana, Mexico. … Philly’s on [Interstate] 95; so, the corridor between Baltimore and New York City. Big highways. Last year … Philadelphia [had] over 550 murders. San Diego, guess how many? Fifty—10 times less.” Stimson joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain the spiking crime trend in cities with rogue prosecutors at the helm and to share stories of the lives of people who have been tragically affected by criminals being released back onto the streets.

When political leaders can't define what a woman is, society has a problem. The radical left has detached sex and gender from "material reality,” says Abigail Favale, author of the book “The Genesis of Gender: A Christian Theory." Removing fact and biological reality from sex has led to a “subtle denigration of … the female body in our culture,” Favale says. Favale joins the “Problematic Women” podcast to discuss the difference between gender and sex, and why it’s so important to understand and celebrate the uniqueness of the female and male body. Enjoy the show!

Scott joins the show to discuss his plan, as well as offer his thoughts on what Florida is doing right that other states should emulate.

The transgender movement is “a social contagion,” Chris Elston, also known as Billboard Chris, says. Elston has gained international attention for his work to defend children against gender identity ideology. Wearing billboards on his front and back that says things like “Children cannot consent to puberty blockers,” Elston travels throughout Canada and America having conversations on sidewalks and street corners with men and women about the harms of the transgender movement. “I do see this as a cult that has permeated our entire society,” Elston says. “The biggest indicator of that might be how they [detransitioners] are treated when they decide to detransition, because they're given tons of love when they declare that they're trans, but the moment they declare they're not, they're cut off from their community, just like any cult.” Elston joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain why he is dedicating his time to educating society on the harms of gender identity ideology. He also discusses reports that Boston Children’s Hospital and Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C. are performing hysterectomies on minors. Children's National Hospital Operator Says Hospital Provides Hysterectomies for Minors A recorded call with Children’s National Hospital indicates the D.C. hospital provides “gender-affirming hysterectomies” for 16-year-olds.

Annabella Rockwell was thrilled when she learned she had been accepted at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts, the oldest women's college in America. “I was so excited,” Rockwell said. “I was so eager to learn.” But the more she learned in her college classes, the more her joyful personality waned, her mother says. By junior year, a “serious robot came home” from college, Melinda Rockwell says of her daughter. In gender studies classes, the college student learned about the “patriarchy and the oppression that we experience in this country,” and she adopted these views as her own. Melinda Rockwell began to seek professional help from cult specialists to learn she could rescue Annabella from the indoctrination she experienced in college. Mother and daughter join “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain how Annabella found a way out of the woke cult, and ultimately became development director for PragerU.

President Trump had to set the record straight as a reporter quoted his words back to him from an earlier press conference. Many would probably consider what happened next quite an awkward moment when the president asked him to read the FULL quote, and it became clear the reporter had taken the president’s remarks out of context.

The Chinese Communist Party is trying to send a chilling signal to already-persecuted religious groups in China that unless you’re silent on the face of the evil regime, you could face time in jail or even worse. As a Christian in China, Bob Fu experienced the oppressive nature of the nation's communist regime. At one point, he was even jailed for his faith. He now works to expose just how bad the CCP treats not only his fellow believers, but people of a myriad of faiths, including Uighur Muslims (like those in China's Xinjiang region, where reports of torture, forced sterilization, and brainwashing have emerged), Buddhists, and members of Falun Gong. Currently, he serves as the president of an organization he founded called ChinaAid, “an international non-profit Christian human rights organization committed to promoting religious freedom and the rule of law in China.”

He detailed how these cartels employ youths via social media platforms like TikTok. His warning is a timely one. Just this week, more than 50 migrants were found dead in a tractor trailer — victims of human smuggling operations that have surged during Biden’s time in office.

Before Title IX, much of Women’s sports and other extracurricular activities received lackluster support and funding within federally financed institutions. However, since its passage in 1972, Title IX has safeguarded single-sex athletic competitions for female athletes across the nation. However, debates over gender identity in schools has caused some to cast doubt over the persistence of Title IX’s original intentions. With the Biden administration’s proposed changes to the statute, the future of women’s sports appears to be in jeopardy. Female athletes from around the country gathered in Washington D.C. last week on the 50th anniversary of Title IX during the “Our Bodies, Our Sports” rally to make their case for the preservation of single-sex athletic competitions. Daily Signal reporter Douglas Blair spoke with many of the participants to understand what it is like to compete against transgender, biological male althetes.
