In this exclusive sit‑down, Senator Jim Banks (R‑IN) joins the show to discuss President Trump’s first year back in office and what he calls a “turning point” for both domestic policy and national security. Banks highlights Trump’s groundbreaking Greenland agreement, which strengthens America’s Arctic foothold and bolsters U.S. defense and energy independence in a region long targeted by China and Russia.

He also spotlights Tyler’s Law, his priority legislation to impose harsher penalties on fentanyl traffickers and secure the southern border’s drug corridors. Banks notes the nation’s first‑in‑a‑decade decline in overdose deaths, crediting the administration’s enforcement and prevention strategy for saving lives nationwide.

On the home front, Banks addresses rising housing costs across Indiana and the U.S., emphasizing the need for deregulation, workforce expansion, and local control to boost availability and affordability. Throughout the interview, Casey and Banks reflect on the momentum of Trump’s first year and the policy battles still ahead as Republicans prepare for the 2026 midterms.
