Summary
His former congressional colleague will advance a far-left agenda as the new secretary of the interior, Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., says.
The Senate voted 51-40 Monday to confirm Rep. Deb Haaland, D-N.M., to lead the Interior Department under President Joe Biden. Haaland supports Biden’s decision to halt further construction of the Keystone XL pipeline.
Daines joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain the policies we likely will see implemented at the Interior Department under Haaland’s leadership, and how Montana is fighting to save the Keystone XL pipeline.
We also cover these stories:
- The Senate votes 50-49 to confirm Xavier Becerra, President Biden’s controversial nominee, as secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
- Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell accuses House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of trying to overturn a state-certified election.
- Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis says critical race theory will not be part of his state’s education system.

| 0:00.0 | This is the Daily Signal Podcast for Friday, March 19th. I'm Rachel Dolchudas. |
| 0:10.1 | And I'm Virginia Allen. New Mexico representative Deb Holland has been confirmed as the new secretary |
| 0:16.2 | of the Interior Department. Senator Steve Daines, Republican of Montana, says Holland will further |
| 0:22.5 | off far-left agenda under Biden by advancing a radical environmental agenda. Daines joins the |
| 0:29.3 | podcast to explain how he anticipates Holland's policies at the Interior Department will affect |
| 0:35.4 | all Americans and how his state is fighting to defend the Keystone pipeline. |
| 0:59.7 | The Senate has confirmed Havier Bicera, President Joe Biden's controversial nominee to be |
| 1:05.6 | Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, 50-49. One Republican, |
| 1:11.6 | main senator Susan Collins, voted for Bicera. Bicera will leave his position as Attorney General |
| 1:17.6 | of California that he has held since 2001, where he became well-known for attacking pro-life Americans, |

| 1:50.7 | Miller Meeks won the district by only six votes, a narrow margin that was confirmed after a ballot |
| 1:56.9 | recount. Miller Meeks' Democrat opponent Rita Hart has challenged the results of the election, |
| 2:03.0 | arguing that there are 22 ballots that were not counted. Upon Hart's request, the House is looking |
| 2:09.4 | into the election. An action McConnell is calling hypocrisy on the part of House Democrats, |
| 2:14.8 | per the Hill. The outcome was certified. That's the magic word, certified, that we heard |
| 2:22.0 | over and over and over again in November and December. There was the opportunity to present complaints |
