Summary

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo played a role in some of the biggest foreign policy accomplishments of the Trump administration.

He joins "The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the impact of the Abraham Accords—pacts involving the normalization of relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Sudan—and the moving of the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

He also weighs in on the increasing threat of the Chinese Communist Party in the Biden administration, as well as the phenomenon of all of the isms that are part of American society today, such as multiculturalism.

"When I hear people start to talk about different groups and different subcultures—and they want to divide, and they want to create tension, and they want to cause problems—it saddens me because I know it will diminish all of us," Pompeo said.

"And so, whether it's these ideas that the progressive movement now has, that they refer to as being 'woke,' they undermine the central understanding that our Founders had about who we are and also my Christian understanding of how it is that the Bible asks us to treat each of our neighbors."

We also cover these stories:

Two men, Julian Elie Khater and George Pierre Tanios, are charged with assaulting since-deceased U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick and two other officers with a chemical spray during the Jan. 6 breaching of the Capitol.
Sen. Ted Cruz writes a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin after a since-deleted tweet on an official military Twitter account attacked Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
Eric Nelson, the attorney for Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer charged in the death of George Floyd, says he wants to “delay Chauvin's criminal trial and move the venue in the wake of a $27 million civil settlement between Minneapolis and George Floyd's family,” according to CNN.
