We have a few updates for you all at the top this morning. First today the president is signing three executive orders to rebuild and strengthen our immigration system. These actions are centered on the basic premise that our country is safer, stronger and more prosperous with a fair, safe and orderly immigration system. Todays actions do a number of things. The First Executive order creates a task force chaired by the secretary of Homeland Security to reunify families which will work across government to find parents and children separated by the Prior Administration. The second executive order develops a strategy to address the root causes of migration across our borders and creates a humane asylum system, including directing dhs to take steps to end the Migrant Protection Protocol Program which led to a humanitarian crisis in northern mexico. It ensures that our system operates fairly and efficiently by instructing agencies to review the related policies. Ma been on the Briefing Cal
Actually hold office to be impeached. Since the 45th President is no longer president , the clause shall be removed from office on impeachment is impossible for the senate to accomplish. Now the house Impeachment Managers brief was a lot longer. It was 80 p0 pages, it focuses President Trumps betrayal of historic proportions and the threat he poses to the constitution. They say the president is to blame for the insurrection writing its impossible to imagine the events of january 6th occurring without President Trump creating a powder keg, striking a match and then seeking personal advantage from the ensuing havoc. Jim accost osta joins me now. The trump team was concise in comparison. They appear to have come to a compromise with the president on whether to focus on the constitutionality or the stolen election. Thats right. I think it boils down to what the president s advisers have been saying for weeks now, that his speech on january 6th, while some may view it as incendiary and it c

Through the cracks and never in my wildest dreams, senator durbin, did i h believe that whe we have done is to pay people more, not to work but to work this bill the 600dollar payment on top of safe benefits actually allows people to have their income almost doubled in someha circumstances. I want to help people and make sure that if you lose your jobil that we cover your wages but under this bill you get 23. 15 an hour based on a 40 hour workweek, not to work. If you are trying to hire somebody in South Carolina in the next four months you got to compete with that wage. If you are working in a restaurant and probably not now but if youre working anywhere for 15 an hour sometimes making 23 an hour and you are working. It is just not fair. It will hurt the Rubio Collins construct, restaurants that are out of business. We want them to be able to to pay the payroll to keep people connected to their employer.
