Summary

"If we tear down every statue of every person whose viewpoints and whose behavior wasn't always ideal, wasn't always perfect, we're ... not going to know about many of the historical figures who, for better or for worse, shaped who we are and how we got here," Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, says.

That's his perspective on the tearing down of statues such as Ulysses S. Grant, George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln. Protesters have vandalized and attempted to topple statues in the weeks since the May 25 death of George Floyd. Lee says peace is a more effective plan than violence, and even introduced a resolution condemning mob violence which was rejected by the Senate. He joins The Daily Signal Podcast to discuss.

We also cover these stories:

Two Chinese hackers have been identified and charged with stealing large amounts of data and information, including COVID-19 research, from the U.S. government.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says that the next coronavirus relief package will include stimulus checks, similar to the package passed in March.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., asked Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Fla., to apologize to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., for reportedly calling her "disgusting" and an expletive.
