Clashes Looming In Congress On Climate, Covid And Impeachment

Published: Jan. 28, 2021, 10 a.m.

On Wednesday President Joe Biden signed executive orders on climate change, including a freeze on new oil and gas leases on federal land, prompting Republicans to push back with cries of "job killers". This is one of many executive actions the President has signed since entering the White House, including reversing President Trump's policies like border wall funding, travel restictions, and leaving the Paris Climate Accord. Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) weighs in on the new administration's push for climate change action and why he thinks President Biden has been disappointing so far when it comes to unity. He also weighs in on the upcoming impeachment trial of former President Trump. One of the key items on President Joe Biden's agenda is passing his COVID relief bill that would inject money into vaccination distribution, small business aid, unemployment benefits and state and local governments. Republicans are balking at the $1.9 trillion price tag and several provisions, including one that would raise the federal minimum wage. House Majority Whip Rep. James Clyburn, (D-SC) discusses the bill, how he feels it would help the economy and how it could possibly pass in the Senate. Plus, commentary by Jimmy Failla, host of "Fox Across America."
