That\u2019s what people are rejecting, and that\u2019s what we\u2019re proposing an alternative to with the Commitment to America.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Commitment to America, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/mccarthy-unveils-new-commitment-to-america-agenda-that-gop-will-pursue-if-they-retake-house\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">introduced<\/a> last month by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), outlines the agenda House Republicans would pursue should they retake control of the chamber after the November midterm elections. Republicans are favored with a 71% chance of winning the House,\u00a0 according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/projects.fivethirtyeight.com\/2022-election-forecast\/house\/?cid=rrpromo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">forecast<\/a> by FiveThirtyEight.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The GOP plan has four themes: \u201cAn Economy That\u2019s Strong,\u201d \u201cA Nation That\u2019s Safe,\u201d \u201cA Future That\u2019s Built On Freedom,\u201d and \u201cA Government That\u2019s Accountable.\u201d The proposed agenda includes goals of fighting inflation, making America energy independent, and securing the border.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Scalise claimed that Americans \u201cwant a check and balance on this far-left agenda,\u201d referring to Democrat policies on crime, cashless bail, and energy. He said Americans are \u201cfurious about rising crime, because Democrats embrace, not only the defund police movement, one of the craziest ideas I\u2019ve ever heard, but now they\u2019re going to cashless bail.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to a Monmouth University poll <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/polling-institute\/reports\/monmouthpoll_us_100322\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">released<\/a> in early October, 72% of Americans thought that crime was \u201cextremely or very important,\u201d following 82% who felt the same about inflation. In the survey, President Biden\u2019s approval on crime was at 32%. According to a Reuter\u2019s\/Ipsos <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/republicans-have-edge-crime-immigration-ahead-us-midterms-reutersipsos-2022-10-05\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">poll<\/a> released this month, voters prefer Republicans to solve the crime problem over Democrats, 40% to 32%.<\/p>\n<p>Host Shannon Bream revealed during the segment that according to Fox News polling released Sunday, Democrats lead Republicans 44% to 41% in congressional vote preference. Additionally, 26% of Americans are in favor of the Commitment to America, while 21% view it unfavorably, and 52% are unfamiliar with it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Bream asked Scalise how worried he was about \u201cheated political rhetoric\u201d on both sides of the aisle, to which the congressman said that one of America\u2019s strengths is \u201cthat we can disagree. The other side is not the demon or the enemy if they\u2019re having a different viewpoint.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Notably, Rep.
