‘Irresponsible, Intentional, Inhumane’: Rep. Turner on the President’s Border Policies

National security has become top of mind for many lawmakers as the expiration of Title 42 leaves border towns & sanctuary cities at risk, and the threat from foreign adversaries like China, Russia, and North Korea remains strong. In response, House Republicans have gotten to work addressing these concerns, passing the “Secure the Border Act” in the House last week, aiming to tighten border security & provide more border patrol resources. Meanwhile, House Intelligence Committee Chairman, Congressman Mike Turner, has been working to strengthen foreign relations — leading a bipartisan congressional delegation to the Middle East to meet with key leaders and intelligence services. Rep. Turner (R-OH) joins to discuss why he believes it’s “inhumane” of President Biden to allow the border to remain in its current state, what insight he gained from meeting with allies overseas, and how the U.S. should be working to deter adversarial threats.

The Biden administration is reinvigorating its push for green energy reform as the Department of Energy recently proposed new limits and rules for American appliances like washers, dryers, refrigerators, and stoves. These government regulations have already had an impact on the country, with New York becoming the first state in the country to ban gas stoves in new buildings starting in 2026. Vice President of Communications and Marketing for the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers, Jill Notini, joins the podcast to share how the new rules could negatively impact low-income families, why these limits may reverse the efficiency of common appliances, and why a switch to lower-energy-use appliances may cost the consumer much more than it will save them.
