The Daily Signal Podcast: Thursday, Aug. 16

Katrina Trinko | Ginny Montalbano •   August 16, 2018

There’s no need to hike taxes to give teacher raises. The Heritage Foundation’s Jonathan Butcher outlines ways school district can cut costs in other areas—such as no longer operating 1,000 unused classrooms, as one district does—to free up dollars for hardworking teachers. Plus: A Mexican restaurant faces protests, online and offline, after sharing a photo of Attorney General Jeff Sessions eating at the restaurant.

We also cover these stories:

  • Former CIA Director John Brennan no longer has a security clearance.
  • Christian baker Jack Phillips is now under fire from Colorado for not baking a cake for a transgender celebration.
  • Hundreds of newspapers are expected to defend the press against President Donald Trump in editorials Thursday.

Today, even with President Trump’s victory, leftist elites have their tentacles in every aspect of our government.

The Daily Signal’s own Tyler O’Neil exposes this leftist cabal in his new book, The Woketopus: The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government.

In this book, O’Neil reveals how the Left’s NGO apparatus pursues its woke agenda, maneuvering like an octopus by circumventing Congress and entrenching its interests in the federal government.
