From Washington: One Step Forward, Three Steps Back
This past Thursday marked the one-year anniversary of the Biden-Harris Administration in office and one topic that stole the spotlight was the future of the filibuster. FOX News Congressional Correspondent, Chad Pergram joins Jared to explain the role of the filibuster in Congress and why there appears to be a clear divide on its efficacy. Chad shares the potential influence filibuster discussions will have on midterm election campaigns and the possibility of the Build Back Better bill being re-presented to the Senate in “chunks.”
Just days into the Biden Administration’s COVID-19 at-home test kit rollout, Senior Director of Special Pathogens for NYC Health + Hospitals, Dr. Syra Madad joins Jared to discuss what this means for handling potential COVID-19 variant surges. As Omicron-related hospitalizations fluctuate across the country, Americans are beginning to get confused and overwhelmed by the messaging surrounding the virus. Dr. Madad addresses how necessary, pandemic-related information, is getting lost in communication because it’s not being presented in a digestible way. However, Dr. Madad acknowledges that the at-home test kit rollout is a game-changer for equipping Americans with the necessary measures to combat future variants.
