The United States saw its first confirmed case of COVID-19 as early as January 2020 and since then the virus has infected nearly 50 million Americans and caused more than  750,000 deaths. Many questions about the origins of the virus remain unanswered, however a group of bipartisan senators is now calling for a 9/11-style commission to investigate the COVID-19 outbreak and help improve the U.S. pandemic response. One of those lawmakers, Sen. Roger Marshall of Kansas joins to break down what he hopes this bipartisan group can accomplish, his concerns over dialogue surrounding vaccine mandates, and his opinions on the Biden administration’s handling of the economic issues.

Last year many Americans stayed home or went to smaller gatherings for Thanksgiving, but this year that doesn’t seem like it will be the case. So if you’re one of those people planning to travel this year expect to see jam-packed roads and airports.  AAA is predicting 53.4 million people will be travelling , a 13-percent increase from 2020 and the highest single-year increase since 2005. Travel analyst and best-selling author, Mark Murphy joins to discuss the upcoming holiday season, how you can prepare for your travel day and if the travel industry has recovered since the beginning of the pandemic.
