Summary

Today, in Alaska the new U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan will meet with Chinese officials. Their goal is to improve our relationship with the super power and confront China for its human rights and other abuses. FOX NEWS Senior Strategic Analyst and retired four-star General Jack Keane gives a preview of the today's meeting and discusses the growing tensions between the U.S. and China. The American Rescue Plan includes an expansion of the existing child tax credit. Instead of receiving $2,000, families who qualify will now receive $3,600 per child. The money also will be given out through monthly cash payments. Essentially, this means a guaranteed income for millions of American families with children. Progressives have long argued a guaranteed income would help families out of poverty and say a recent experiment out of Stockton, California proved their point. However conservatives say 'guaranteed income' is unfair to taxpayers and will only de-incentivize work. Former senior economic adviser for President Trump Steve Moore and former economic advisor to President Obama Austan Goolsbee weigh in on the debate over guaranteed income and the CTC. Plus, commentary from FOX News Senior Meteorologist Janice Dean. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
