Episode Synopsis

A House panel issued subpoenas Thursday to House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy and four other GOP lawmakers in its probe into the violent Jan. 6 insurrection, an extraordinary step that has little precedent and is certain to further inflame partisan tensions over the 2021 attack. Clayton Neville reports.  President Joe Biden appealed to world leaders at a COVID-19 summit Thursday to reenergize a lagging international commitment to attacking the virus as he led the U.S. in marking the “tragic milestone” of 1 million deaths in America. He ordered flags lowered to half-staff and warned against complacency around the globe. John Stolnis has that for us. Kevin Carr gives us his take on the remake of "Firestarter". Jerry Konter of the National Association of Home Builders tells us how supply chain issues are causing trouble for the home building industry.  And Meredith McGraw of Politico joins us to talk about a game of political chicken - who will announce their 2024 presidential candidacy first? Donald Trump or Joe Biden?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
