Saunders—Fellow at Discovery Institute’s Chapman Center for Citizen Leadership—joins the show to discuss her latest editorial, “The People’s House is Off Limits- to Us.” Saunders documents that the United States Capitol has been closed to the public for nearly two years.

Saunders reveals that, according to an Axios report, the Capitol hopes to re-open by Labor Day.
