America's Changing Attitude On Government Helping People

Leslie begins today's show with her 'Ripped from the Headlines' news segment.

Here are the stories that she covered:

 

1. AXIOS: "Some experts now say U.S. unlikely to reach herd immunity"

2. AXIOS: "White House to redirect unordered vaccines to states where demand is higher"

3. AXIOS: "Biden to raise refugee cap to 62,500"

4. NEW YORK TIMES: "Business Coalitions to Speak Out Against Voting Restrictions in Texas"

5. AXIOS: "Garland asks Congress for $85 million in extra funding to fight domestic terrorism"

6. AXIOS: "Top general no longer opposes change in sexual assault policy"

7. THE DAILY BEAST: "Kevin McCarthy Seems to Suggest Liz Cheney Is Toast: She’s Not ‘Carrying Out the Message’"

During the second half of the show, Leslie is joined by Olivier Knox, new Anchor of 'The Daily 202' at The Washington Post, a midday newsletter about politics and policy.

They discuss how, as Olivier notes in 'The Daily 202,' "the pandemic has accelerated a trend toward Americans as a whole worrying less about soaring deficits and the swelling national debt and more about how much government can help its citizens."

They also touch on Olivier's recent piece titled, "Biden tries to preempt ‘class warfare’ attacks on tax plans."
