Summary

Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., recently returned from a trip to the U.S.-Mexico border. On his flight back, Clyde sat next to illegal immigrants. "We are, the taxpayers are paying for this," Clyde says of illegal immigrants flying in the U.S. "This is federal government funded activity. Not only that, they don't even have to abide by the TSA rules because they don't have any valid government issued ID. So, TSA is allowing them to fly with everyone else without government issued photo ID." Clyde joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to talk about this experience, who is paying for transportation of illegal immigrants, what stood out to him most from his latest visit to the border, and more. We also cover these stories: Facebook’s independent oversight panel upholds Donald Trump's suspension from the social media platform for the time being. Conservatives criticize Facebook after the social media giant says it will maintain an indefinite ban keeping Trump off the platform. House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., calls for the ousting of Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., from her position as chairman of the House Republican Conference. Scalise says Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., should take Cheney’s place as the House's No. 3 Republican. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.
