Happy Friday from Washington, where President Biden appears to fiddle as the border crisis and illegal immigration burn through Americans’ wallets. Erin Dwinell shows how. In a dramatic video report, our Mary Margaret Olohan interviews a pro-life activist and father of seven whose home was invaded by the FBI. On the podcast, Heritage Foundation national security expert Victoria Coates assesses the state of Russia’s war on Ukraine ahead of the first anniversary. Plus: Fox News’ Tucker Carlson will add heft to Heritage’s 50th anniversary gala; Sen. Josh Hawley urges U.S. arms for Taiwan; and Virginia’s governor wants to know why the FBI targeted Catholics.  Twenty-five years ago,  in Nagano, Japan, the U.S. defeats Canada, 3-1, to claim gold in the first women's hockey tournament of the Winter Olympics.
