b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 President Joe Biden unveiled his sweeping $2 trillion American Jobs Act proposal in a speech in Pittsburgh on Wednesday.\\xa0 The infrastructure-jobs-climate proposal promises to create millions of good-paying jobs and boost global competitiveness through massive and long-overdue public works projects to shore up the nation's crumbling roads, bridges, airports, ports, schools, water systems and electrical grid. It would also invest in domestic electric vehicle manufacturing and charging stations, and cap hundreds of thousands of abandoned fossil fuel wells and coal mines, and replace all lead water service pipes. It would 'build back better' by hardening the nation's infrastructure to better handle our worsening climate crisis. Much of the package would be paid for by an increase in corporate tax rates and ending fossil fuel industry subsidies, while boosting manufacture and deployment of clean energy technology. Financial journalist and Executive Editor of The American Prospect, DAVID DAYEN, discusses Biden's infrastructure and public investment bill, how it will be funded, how it addresses economic inequality and the US social welfare infrastructure,\\xa0 and what to expect as it moves toward hopeful passage in Congress, even as Republicans signal they plan to obstruct it. Also today:\\xa0 two Capitol Police officers sue Donald Trump for his incitement of the January 6th insurrection. Dominion Voting Systems beefs up its legal team as it escalates defamation lawsuits against Team Trump, Fox News, and other rightwing media outlets for spreading baseless claims the company's voting systems were somehow involved in 'stealing' the 2020 election."
