The Signal Sitdown
The Signal Sitdown
The Daily Signal
Your government is out of control. It’s doing things it has no business doing. It spends way too much money. It gets involved in way too many wars. It not only tells you what you can and can’t say—it actively censors you. And the things your government should do, it can’t, or won’t, do at all. It can’t keep your streets clean of crime and filth. It can’t keep your neighborhoods safe enough for kids to play outside. It can’t even prevent your country from being invaded by millions of illegal migrants. Why is that? Because your leaders no longer represent you. They represent themselves and their friends. On each episode of "The Signal Sitdown," politics editor Bradley Devlin exposes how the sausage really gets made in Washington, D.C. with the help of guests who have experience on the inside. "The Signal Sitdown" takes you inside the biggest battles in Washington, D.C., as they happen. We’ll analyze the policymaking process from an unabashedly and unapologetically conservative perspective and together reclaim government from the self-serving elites. Fingers will be pointed. Names will be named.

Former senior Health and Human Services advisor and ICE official John Fabbricatore says the Biden administration failed to vet sponsors for unaccompanied minors, leading to over 300,000 children missing from HHS rolls, 65,000 unanswered hotline calls, thousands of trafficking allegations, and dozens of deceased children later identified.

What’s Really Happening to Britain: Mass Immigration & Cultural Collapse
Nick Freitas recently returned from the United Kingdom and shares what he witnessed on the ground.After first visiting in 1998, he saw how dramatically Britain has changed due to mass immigration over the past 25+ years. Areas near historic landmarks like the Tower of London now resemble Bangladesh. British culture is rapidly shifting, with growing balkanization, Sharia courts, grooming gangs, and a government that has prioritized newcomers over its own citizens. The raw reality of unchecked immigration and the failure of assimilation in the UK should be a serious lesson for Americans. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How Can Conservatives Hold The Generational Coalition Together? | Michael Knowles
As debates rage across conservative media over foreign policy, coalition building, tariffs, and the future direction of the Right, the real question becomes whether the movement can stay focused on governing instead of turning inward.  From social media feuds and ideological purity tests to the growing influence of podcasters and political commentatory, today we explore what happens when political identity becomes detached from practical politics. “A lot of these debates that have broken out among the podcasters involve things that are really petty.” At the same time, packed TPUSA events, energized young conservatives, and growing grassroots enthusiasm suggest the movement may be far more united in real life than it appears online.  In today’s episode of “The Signal Sitdown,” Michael Knowles and Bradley Devlin dive into the tension between internet politics and actual political momentum, and whether conservatives can avoid becoming distracted by personalities and factionalism while the Left continues to organize and govern. “We will become frivolous, we will become superfluous, and the upshot of that will be that the Left will actually do the governing and we will all lose.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Mollie Hemingway: The Rise of Justice Alito—and Why the Left Targets Him
The chaos surrounding the Kavanaugh confirmation didn’t just shake Washington—it revealed how far the Left was willing to go to pressure the Supreme Court.

From behind-the-scenes tensions to major dissents, this conversation uncovers why Alito’s influence is only growing. 👉For more videos like this, subscribe to The Daily Signal’s YouTube channel and enable notifications to be alerted the second a new video drops: https://www.youtube.com/dailysignal?sub_confirmation=1 Learn more about your ad choices.

How a Democrat Allegedly Used DEI and Bureaucracy to Commit Fraud and Attain Power | Greg Steube
In the past few weeks, Rep. Greg Steube was leading the charge to bring to the House floor a vote to expel now-former Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick. Minutes before Steube was set to join the “Signal Sitdown” — and the same day the Ethics Committee was expected to render a recommendation to the House on whether to expel the Florida congresswoman over fraud allegations — Cherfilus-McCormick announced she was resigning her seat in Congress, effective immediately. On this episode of the “Signal Sitdown,” Steube, R-Fla., peels back the curtain on the investigation that ultimately resulted in Cherfilus-McCormick’s resignation. What he describes, based on investigations conducted by the Office of Congressional Ethics, the House Ethics Committee, and the Department of Justice, is an alleged plot to take advantage of DEI in the federal and state bureaucracy to commit fraud and attain and maintain political power. 👉For more videos like this, subscribe to The Daily Signal’s YouTube channel and enable notifications to be alerted the second a new video drops: https://www.youtube.com/dailysignal?sub_confirmation=1 Learn more about your ad choices.

What Democrats Will Do if the SAVE Act Fails | Brandon Gill
Congress could be heading for another One Big Beautiful Bill. Congressional Republicans are facing a double-bind of a lingering shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security and the urgent need to pass the SAVE America Act, an election integrity bill that would require proof of citizenship to vote and implement nationwide voter ID, before November’s midterm elections. Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, joined “The Signal Sitdown” to discuss where the rapidly-evolving GOP strategy to end the shutdown and secure American elections is heading. This is the number one most important piece of legislation we could be working on right now, Gill told The Daily Signal of the SAVE America Act. We need election integrity because every time an illegal alien votes in our election system, it disenfranchises an American citizen by canceling out their vote. Learn more about your ad choices.
