Description

Sen. Bob Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat, joins Margaret Hoover to discuss his legislative proposals to provide temporary legal status for 8 million undocumented immigrants as part of the reconciliation deal and to protect Americans against flood insurance “rate shock.” 
Menendez, the chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, also explains how the U.S. can support Taiwan against aggression from China, warns that Iran has the potential to spark a “nuclear arms race” and describes why he thinks his Democratic colleague, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is “confused or ill-informed” for opposing the U.S. embargo against Cuba. 
Support for “Firing Line for Margaret Hoover” is provided by Stephens Inc., Robert Granieri, Charles R. Schwab, The Fairweather Foundation, Asness Family Foundation, Pfizer Inc., The Rosalind P. Walter Foundation, and Damon Button.
