The Daily Signal’s Mehek Cooke sits down with House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, for a wide-ranging conversation on the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Justice Department, the “Arctic Frost” investigation of Republicans by the administration of President Joe Biden, and the larger questions facing voters heading into the midterms.

The discussion begins with a central question: Who gets to define hate and extremism in America, and what happens when powerful institutions use public trust as political cover?

Jordan addresses concerns surrounding the Southern Poverty Law Center, questions about federal law enforcement’s use of outside organizations, the expanding Arctic Frost investigation, and whether Republicans have delivered what voters expected when they gave the GOP power in Washington.

The conversation ends on the question voters are asking ahead of the midterms: Did Republicans keep their promise?
