In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Congressman August Pfluger—Chairman of the Republican Study Committee, decorated Air Force veteran, and proud seventh-generation Texan—for an in-depth conversation on the path forward for America's economy, energy independence, and national security. Congressman Pfluger discusses why predictability in the tax code is essential for families, entrepreneurs, and innovators alike. As the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act faces expiration, Pfluger makes the case for why extending—and ideally making permanent—those provisions is not just a matter of policy, but a critical step to preserve America's competitive edge and avoid economic backsliding. He also shares how the Republican Study Committee, now the largest conservative caucus in Congress with 189 members, is working to restore fiscal discipline, protect family-owned farms from devastating inheritance taxes, and ensure American businesses have the confidence to invest and grow. The conversation dives into the real-world impact of smart tax policy, using examples like a small business in rural Ohio that was able to give employees a 40% raise thanks to the Trump tax cuts. Congressman Pfluger also breaks down the growing demand for domestic energy production—driven in part by rising electricity needs from data centers and AI—and why energy security is inseparable from national security. Representing one of the largest and most quintessentially Texan districts in the country, Congressman Pfluger shares what makes his constituents special, why the Permian Basin is a story of American innovation, and what it means to fight for the freedom and opportunity they hold dear. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to understand how principled leadership, clear policy direction, and bold vision can help secure a stronger future for all Americans.

Threats to America are at an all time high. Our national security and law enforcement professionals have warned us. Our military leaders are preparing for anything and everything. Representative August Pfluger is the chairman of the Homeland Security Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence. He is now a 3-term Congressman representing Texas's 11th District. He is also an Air Force Academy graduate and an F-22 fighter pilot with over 300 combat hours. As a member of the bi-partisan military Veterans alliance, the For Country Caucus, one of his biggest efforts is to build coalitions across the aisle. With Homeland Security, terror threats and nation-state brinksmanship front and center, Fran Racioppi sat down with the Congressman to ask him what exactly the biggest threats to America are. They dug into the theory of an imminent terror attack, what the battlefield with China really looks like, and why preventing denial of service attacks and the cyber-security risks against America's critical infrastructure should be at the top of the priority list.They also discussed the future of SOF on an undefined battlefield, how the reduction of fraud, waste and abuse will open up funds for discretionary spending, and why disagreement should be encouraged; but when the decision is made, everyone needs to get in line and execute. Watch, listen or read our conversation from Congressman Pfluger's office. Don't miss our full coverage from Capitol Hill. Special thanks to For Country Caucus for setting up this series.

We live in a dangerous world. It's not just a terrorism threat.”“These non-nation state actors and even nation state sponsored cyber activities lie in that grey zone.” “That's where we're really vulnerable is some of the smaller communities, some of the smaller banks, some of the smaller entities that provide these services. Denial of services. That's what we're worried about.” “Every dollar of improper payment that is going somewhere else is a dollar we're not spending on security.”“SOF plays a huge role in deterrence.

TikTok might soon be facing a choice: Divest from its Chinese Communist Party-controlled parent company, or cease to operate in the U.S. “This is not about the content that is being posted on TikTok,” Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, says. “It's about the conduct of the company that controls TikTok, that makes the decisions, that has a narrative that is able to use Chinese Communist Party propaganda through the platform, if they so choose.” ByteDance is TikTok's parent company. It's headquartered in Beijing and subject to Chinese law that requires companies to make data available to the CCP. The House is set to vote Wednesday on a bill designed to prevent foreign adversary-controlled applications from operating in the U.S. Some are referring to the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act at the “TikTok bill,” since it would prevent TikTok from operating in the U.S. if the company does not break from ByteDance. The bill received bipartisan support in committee and is expected to pass the House. Pfluger joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain why TikTok poses a national security threat to the U.S. and whether he thinks the bill will receive the same bipartisan support in the Senate. Following the conversation with Pfluger, Jake Denton, research associate in the Tech Policy Center at The Heritage Foundation, joins the show to explain how the app would effectively be banned in the U.S. if the bill does pass and TikTok refuses to divest from its CCP-controlled parent company.

The House, under Republican control and backed by a handful of Democrats, gave its nod to a bill on Thursday that proposes significant restraints on President Joe Biden's power in authorizing new liquified natural gas (LNG) initiatives. This motion, named the Unlocking Domestic LNG Potential Act, received a 224-200 vote approval in the House, with a nonpartisan stand of nine Democrats merging with 215 Republicans favoring the bill. The legislation was conceived and presented by Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, chair of the House Energy Action Team, early on in February. The proposed legislation seeks to counter recent actions by President Biden that led to temporary halts on permits for emerging LNG export operations. Pfluger, explaining the rationale behind the Act, pointed out how the President had earlier spoken of the United States fulfilling European LNG needs to diminish their reliance on Russian supplies. Interestingly, he noted, these commitments seem to wane as the election year approaches, possibly due to the pressure from the more environment-focused supporters. According to Pfluger, the world's natural gas supplies are chiefly dominated by four nations, namely, Russia, Iran, the U.S., and Qatar. He expressed concern that the U.S. choosing to limit its LNG export activities could potentially benefit adversarial powers like Putin's Russia and Iran. The very countries, he emphasized, have recently instigated violence resulting in the loss of three service members via the Houthis due to their weapon proliferation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One representative from the Republican party who holds a seat on the House Homeland Security Committee is set to propose a bill targeted at withholding funds from cities that offer sanctuary status. These are jurisdictions that, in his perspective, are paradoxically asking for financial assistance from taxpayers to help manage the aftermath of the migrant crisis. The proposed legislation, titled the 'No Funding for Sanctuary Cities Act' is being championed by Rep. August Pfluger, serving the state of Texas. The crux of the bill aims at changing existing federal laws which will subsequently render a city, county, or jurisdiction ineligible for a variety of federal law enforcement grants. Further, if such an area impedes federal immigration enforcement, it would also be disqualified from other grants managed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or the Department of Justice. Another requirement that the Act introduces is for the Secretary of the DHS to provide regular reports to Congress, detailing the number of states and localities that aren't cooperating with federal immigration enforcement. Essentially, the Act empowers the DHS secretary to take punitive actions against those non-compliant jurisdictions, putting new pressure on them. Subtle yet significant, the Act also indicates that any funds which are removed from non-compliant jurisdictions could be repurposed towards those that are in compliance with federal immigration enforcement. This proposition divides potential federal funding allocations in a way that favors those sync up with the federal approach on immigration.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The House on Tuesday passed a Republican-led resolution reaffirming its support for Israel with strong bipartisan approval — an implicit rebuke of a leading Democrat who, over the weekend, called the country a “racist state” but later apologized. The resolution, introduced by Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, passed with over 400 lawmakers backing the measure. It did not mention Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., by name, but was clearly a response to her recent remarks about the Jewish state. The measure was drafted soon after she criticized Israel and its treatment of Palestinians at a conference on Saturday. Jayapal, the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, walked back the comments the next day, insisting her comments were aimed at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and not the state of Israel.

When August Pfluger decided to join the Air Force, he drew upon a deeply ingrained desire to put service before self. Now, as the congressman representing Texas' 11th district, Pfluger recognizes that same motivation in the small number of hardworking men and women who farm and ranch to provide all Americans with food, fuel, and fiber. “It's very difficult what that one percent of the population does to farm and ranch and provide food for every single American, because every American eats,” he recently said on the Groundwork podcast. Pfluger joined Farm Policy Facts to discuss how farming contributes to the security of our nation, and the critical role that farm policy plays in ensuring that this security remains uncompromised.
