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 Because your leaders no longer represent you.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.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-02T18:19:45.185196+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-signal-sitdown-7035152"},"episode":{"title":"How a Democrat Allegedly Used DEI and Bureaucracy to Commit Fraud and Attain Power | Greg Steube","slug":"how-a-democrat-allegedly-used-dei-and-bureaucracy-to-commit-fraud-and-attain-power-greg-steube","published_at":"2026-04-23T09:03:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-signal-sitdown-7035152/how-a-democrat-allegedly-used-dei-and-bureaucracy-to-commit-fraud-and-attain-power-greg-steube","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-signal-sitdown-7035152","url":"https://www.dailysignal.com/","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/THEDAILYSIGNAL6889657449.mp3?updated=1778534967","summary":"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.
