Summary

Humberto Lopez came to this country legally as an immigrant with his family. He joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss why his family came to America, his initial thoughts about it, and more. "The American dream is still attainable as long as we have capitalism," Lopez says, adding: Big government, it's getting bigger and bigger and bigger. And I think that's going to take away the opportunities for a lot of the dreams [that] a lot of us would have had 50, 60 years ago. It's making it harder and harder. I got a video the other day, it's called 'The Great Reset,' where you won't own anything, but you'll be happy. Well, sure you'd be happy if they give you a home, free education, universal pay, college tuition free, and you stay home and don't do anything. Yeah, you're going to be very happy. But those of us that want to work hard for the American dream, it's going to make it harder and harder. We're going to be working for the government.We also cover these stories: The Biden administration rebukes Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko following the forcing-down of a Ryanair flight and arrest of a dissident journalist in Minsk in what the airline called a “state-sponsored hijacking.” President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris speak out against antisemitism in America.  Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signs a bill aimed at preventing social media companies from "deplatforming" users and fighting online censorship. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
