Summary

President Biden returned from his Atlanta trip last Thursday after the Democrats' hopes to end the filibuster were extinguished due to a lack of support from both Republicans and a few members of his own party. As the Biden administration continues its push for voting rights legislation, on the international stage it must address rising tensions with Russia. Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.) joins to explain his view that the Democrats’ advocacy to change the filibuster is rooted in partisan politics. Sen. Thune also discusses how the GOP is preparing to discuss economic issues ahead of the midterms, and what action the U.S. can take against Russia that would send a strong message to Putin. While “Dry January,” or abstaining from drinking alcohol for all 31 days of the month, used to be a challenge many Americans took part in to cut back, the stress related to the current Omicron surge is serving as a reminder that old habits die hard. Recent studies have shown that Covid-19 shutdowns led to an increase in alcohol sales and intake alike. This trend can have serious long-term health effects for many Americans. FOX News Medical Contributor Dr. Marc Siegel discusses his concerns over the country’s growing drinking problem, ways to curb consumption, and why he is a fan of “Dry January.” Plus, commentary by U.S. Army Veteran and Minnesota gubernatorial candidate Kendall Qualls.
