Summary

America requires those emigrating legally to the U.S. to undergo a medical physical before entering the country. This practice, established in law known as Title 42, is more important now than ever as the nation continues to battle the COVID-19 pandemic. Rep. Yvette Herrell, R-N.M., who took office in January, has introduced legislation to ensure that Title 42 is upheld and that immigrants who test positive for COVID-19 aren't permitted entry into the U.S. Herrell joins the show to discuss her bill, the Protecting Americans From Unnecessary Spread Upon Entry Act, or PAUSE Act, as well as her work to protect our southern border. Also on today’s show, we read your letters to the editor and share a good news story about the grand reopening of a family-owned ice cream shop in Kenosha, Wisconsin, that rioters burned to the ground last summer.

0:14.1	Vett Harrell back to the podcast to discuss her very first bill called Protecting Americans
0:20.4	from Unnecessary Spread Upon Entry or Paws Act of 2021. The legislation seeks to protect
0:27.8	safeguards that restrict immigrants from entering the country who are infected with COVID-19
0:33.2	or other viruses. We also read your letters to the editor and share a good news story about
0:38.4	the grand reopening of a Kenosha ice cream shop that was burned to the ground by rioters last summer.
0:44.5	Rob, before we jump into today's show, could you just share a little bit about some
0:49.4	very exciting news regarding the Heritage Foundation and former Vice President Mike Pence?
0:54.8	I certainly can, Virginia. We announced last week that Vice President Pence will be joining
0:59.7	the Heritage Foundation as a distinguished visiting fellow. And in that capacity, he's actually
1:05.6	going to be contributing a monthly column to the Daily Signal. So we are just thrilled
1:10.8	at the Daily Signal for what is to come. Of course, Vice President Pence has been a conservative
1:16.4	heroist for so many people throughout his career as a congressman, as the governor of Indiana,
1:22.7	and then is one of the most consequential Vice Presidents in our history.
1:26.7	So to have him join the Heritage Foundation and contribute to the Daily Signal,
1:30.2	sure is going to be a treat. It really is, Rob. It's such an honor. And to make sure that you
