Episode 199: Covid Relief on the Table

Almost six months since the supplemental federal unemployment benefits expired, Congress is finally seriously considering a new relief bill. Americans are desperate for economic support. Businesses want to keep their doors open. State and local jurisdictions are struggling to balance their budgets.

On today’s episode, we dissect the arguments from bipartisan members of the group pushing this new $908 billion proposal. We also look at emerging news of the Coronavirus Vaccine—which is expected to receive FDA authorization by the end of this week. Finally, we directly address the buzziest conversation out of this Sunday’s shows—George’s controversial interview on This Week with Republican Senator (and Trump election disinformation booster) Mike Braun.
