What is in the bipartisan bill in terms of spending is from what I can see mostly good.

It is roads and bridges and we need to do that. That is what we are proposing in our legislation, but in much greater numbers.

I was interested in hearing from my colleague Senator Sanders, you said at one point, with regard to the $6 trillion package, the list goes on and on. And that's the problem. I mean, it's not about infrastructure.

It's kind of a $6 trillion grab bag of progressive priorities. Ours is about core infrastructure.

Talks over infrastructure moving on two tracks this morning, a bipartisan plan and a more ambitious, progressive one.

The question is, will either be able to thread that very thin needle on Capitol Hill?

Plus, praise for President Biden from Vladimir Putin and Russian media after last week's summit.

The question is, what will Moscow say about the new sanctions that could be on the way?

And Madison Square Garden packed for the first time since COVID as the foo fighters take the stage.

The question is, have we returned to times like these?

It's way too early, the show that cannot wait for its first post-COVID concert.

I am Casey Hunt on this Monday, June 21st. We'll start with the news. President Biden will travel to

Raleigh, North Carolina this week as part of a final push to get more Americans vaccinated

against the coronavirus ahead of his July 4th goal. In a speech at the White House on Friday,

the president touted a new milestone in the fight against the pandemic, 300 million vaccine doses

administered.

But at this point, it appears Biden is still likely to fall short of his deadline of having 70% of Americans vaccinated by Independence Day.

Vaccination rates have slowed across the country and only about 65% have received at least

one dose.

Folks, we're heading into a very different summer compared to last year.

A bright summer.

Faithfully, a summer of joy.
