Published: May 16, 2017, 6:57 p.m.

Leslie is joined by Scott N. Paul, President of the Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM), a partnership established by some of America’s leading manufacturers and the United Steelworkers union.

The two are joined by callers as they discuss the following:

1. AAM’s Infrastructure Week summary

2. Why does infrastructure keep getting pushed back by lawmakers? Where does it currently stand with the administration?

3. Infrastructure is one issue that’s seen bipartisan support. What’s happening in Congress and what are some of the obstacles standing in the way of getting a bill passed?

4. How does 'Buy American/Hire American' play into the infrastructure discussion?

5. A new report saying that China’s state-subsidized producers of freight rail cars could end up eliminating up to 65,000 U.S. jobs.
