Summary

While gas prices remain at an average of $4.80 a gallon, the Biden administration continues to promote “environmental justice” policies that Donna Jackson says are harming black Americans.  “When you have someone that's spending more than 30% of their income for gasoline and they're making choices between whether their kids can have … food to eat, or medicine, or pay their energy bills, electricity, gasoline, then that is not a pain point, that's genocide,” says Jackson, director of membership development for Project 21 at the National Center for Public Policy Research.  The political left has created an environmental agenda they say will help minority communities, but it is an “agenda that black people never asked for,” Jackson says.  President Joe Biden’s efforts to lessen American dependency on fossil fuels is killing American jobs that minorities depend on and driving up the cost of living, she says.  Jackson joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain why the president’s energy agenda is so harmful to African Americans, and what the president should do to stimulate energy growth across the nation.  Also on today’s show, we cover these stories:  Police say the Highland Park shooter planned the attack weeks in advance. Multiple Texas counties declare that they are under an invasion due to the rising number of illegal migrants coming across the border. Twitter bans Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson and conservative commentator Dave Rubin over a tweet referring to actor Elliot Page by birth name and biological sex.  Enjoy the show!
