Summary

President Biden continues to pitch The American Jobs Plan to the nation as Senate Republicans have prepared a counter proposal to the President’s two trillion dollar economic and infrastructure legislation. Senator Shelly Moore Capito (R-W.V.) joins to explain how she and her fellow Senate Republicans are negotiating with President Biden to strike a bipartisan deal on American infrastructure, how West Virginia’s political ideology has shifted over the years, her stance on the conflict in Israel and the recent push for an independent commission to investigate the January 6th attack on the Capitol. As the White House works on that infrastructure bill, a group of Democrat lawmakers are urging the President to back a fourth stimulus. This comes at a time when Republicans are complaining that past relief checks, pandemic-era unemployment programs and a monthly child tax credit are already encouraging more Americans to not work. As America continues to reopen, is there even still a need for yet another stimulus bill? And can we afford it? Bankrate Senior Economic Analyst Mark Hamrick discusses whether we need more stimulus, how effective our past pandemic relief programs were and what his biggest concern about the economy is as the summer nears. Plus, commentary by Robert Jeffress, Fox News contributor and pastor of the Dallas First Baptist Church Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
