They just interrupt transmission are working at least for now. Will this complicate the huge covid19 relief effort being pushed by President Biden . About that 12 , at least one vaccine dose, new cases starting to level off, some say it is running a seasonal course but whatever the case building up the apparent progress, states like north dakota, iowa and montana are dropping their mask mandates, rather than applauding the progress the Biden Administration is selling the alarm arguing the pandemic is far from over pointing to new variants like the South African One that just cropped up for the first time tonight in massachusetts. And we are nowhere Out Of The Woods and is you know, the judges relating Mitigation Strategies with transmissible variance which we could be in a more difficult spot. What i would say is now is the time to not let off our god, now is the time to double down. The President Warning we might not be able to return to normal until maybe christmas which progressives are pushing hard for 2 trillion package the covid19 relief wuhan nonpartisan groups is more than trillion dollars from price to me was packages still have not been spent. In the news proposal filled with progressive for hours including a 15 federal a child, the president is dismissing a Congressional Budget Office Report Spelling out the economic distraction that they think could come from that plan. The Congressional Budget Office is a 15 minimum wage would lift 900,000 people out of poverty but would also cause 1. 4 Million People that jobs. There is also if you read the whole thing, there are equal numbers who say it wouldnt have that effect. Two Democratic Senators are expressing opposition to including those Progressive Wish List Items in the covid19 bill like a minimum wage hike, saying this is supposed to be a targeted covid19 relief bill, joe manchin and kirsten cinema, he privately informs joe biden he will not join any democratic efforts to force these provisions if there will in violation of Senate Budget restrictions and theres much more to this development. If manchin doesnt hold his ground on the socalled bird will be can lead to a precedent changing moment for the senate, democrats would be able to pass anything, increased minimum wage, dc stated, court packing, green new deal, singlepayer healthcare by simple majority. White house correspondent kevin cork kicks us off with day 28 of the Biden Administration. Quite a night tonight. Having a chance to hear this townhall and the president one pack his ideas in a less scripted format, we are talking expectations at exasperation, it all depends on your political perspective. Mister biden did offer very few surprises to most of the questions but that is not to say there wasnt the occasional cleanup on aisle 5, say for example his response to this question about reopening schools. The goal to open the majority of schools in the first hundred days now you are saying that means those schools may only be open for at least one day a week. That is not true. That is were ported but that was a mistake in communication. What im talking about is opening the majority of schools in keighth grade because they are easiest to open. He said that was a mistake in communication. That comment appears to be a reference to his press secretary jen psaki who said this about reopening schools. His goal that he set is to have the majority of schools, more than 50 open by day 100 of his presidency and that means some teaching classrooms. At least one day a week, hopefully more. That is what got a lot of people talking. Mister biden said this about teachers getting covid19 vaccines earlier than other people in order to quickly reopen schools. I think we should be vaccinating teachers, we should move them up in the hierarchy as well. Reporter critics were point out his penchant for telling what they describe as tall tales, for example in reference to the covid19 vaccine biden said, which we didnt have when i came into office, fact check that is of course completely false. In fact he received two Vaccine Shots himself while donald trump was still in the White House White house. He promised covid19 vaccines would be available for all americans by the end of july, we are talking 600 million does is give or take biden and his comment late in the evening about minorities dont know how to get online in response to a question about racial disparities, will likely get a bit of attention tomorrow as well. An interesting night to be sure. Shannon we will break the statements down and to get a little bit more. Severe Winter Weather continues its grip on most of texas tonight, skyrocketing Energy Demand and put stress on the grid to trigger Rolling Blackouts. Cold, dark areas seen in stark contrast to the bright City Skylines in houston and also in houston Power Outages sending freezing residents looking for refuge. Many opting for Fast Food Restaurants and that is resulting in huge lines of cars, makeshift locations are serving as Emergency Shelters for folks suffering from frigid temperatures inside their own homes can find some help tonight. Another coalfired power plants set to close this summit the current outbreak of severe Winter Weather in texas means Rolling Blackouts leaving millions in the dark and without heat. Mark meredith is looking at the situation tonight. 4 million texans are believed to be without power tonight, even more wants to know why their state cant keep the lights on and the answer is not cut and dried but the situation is forcing texas lawmakers to review their power plans from top to bottom. This is not good. Texas Governor Greg Abbott is ordering an investigation into the Power Failures plaguing his state writing, quote, the electric liability council of texas is anything but reliable over the past 40 hours, Power Production has stopped with natural gas, coal, solar and Wind Energy Production sites. Power Officials Say outages are partially to blame do to frozen Wind Turbines and limited natural gas supply. Former governor rick perry says the storm should serve as a wakeup call for his state. The most important thing to have is a baseload you can count on. That is going to be natural gas, coal and nuclear. It would be used texas has diversified its Energy Production investing more heavily in solar and wind. Environmental groups have celebrated as texas has shutdown some coalfired plants but now some, including the Wall Street Journal argue texas has gambled too much on Renewable Energy writing, quote, Power Shortages show the folly of eliminating natural gas and coal. Democrats say there is no one Single Energy problem to blame for the blackouts of the more thorough investigation is needed. I have no doubt that people will try to spin this event for their own political purposes, thats why im emphasizing we need to get the facts, need a thorough investigation into the root cause of these failures. During the winter months texas relies more on natural gas for energy that wind but news of the Wind Turbines is generating a lot of headlines and conversation but it is likely we will not know exactly what went wrong until the investigation wraps up and the power comes back on. The sooner the better, thank you. Acclimate official out of a job tonight after resigning over a very frank statement he made about the state needing to break the will of constituents when it comes to heating their homes. Trace gallagher is on the case tonight. Good evening. Who knew that a major theme in the Massachusetts Climate Fight was eliminating the bad guys isnt enough so it is time to go after the good guys, that was the opinion of david is may it was on a Conference Call when he said the lions share of emissions come from Passenger Cars and residential heating. 60 of Car Emissions that need to be reduced come from you, the senior on fixed income, there is no bad guy in massachusetts 2 point of finger at, turn the screws on and break their will so they stop emitting, thats you, we have to break your will. He went to say he couldnt say that publicly but he just did and when massachusetts republican Governor Charlie Baker got wind of it he criticized the comments and went on to say that is why he didnt sign the states climate bill, because he was concerned who was going to pay for what is in it. State republican lawmakers and one democrat then sent a letter to the governor calling for david ismade to be fired, let us be perfectly clear, these comments are callous, insensitive and point to a major, insurmountable disconnect between disappointed member of your administration and the very public he is supposed to be serving. It is unclear if governor baker considered firing ismay but he didnt have to because ismay reside. The ability to communicate during that discussion reflected poorly on the governor, on you and hardworking staff that she went on to say he never intended to target hardworking families. Shannon thank you. The subject of the hide amendments which permits taxpayer dollars from being used to Fund Abortions except in rare cases came up in the Daily Briefing in the white house today. Press secretary jen psaki not exactly answering the question regarding President Bidens covid19 Relief Package will and will not pay for with your dollars. Guarantee americans who dont want their tax dollars to Fund Abortions can the administration guarantees that . As i just noted, 3 quarters of the public support the package,s to see the pandemic get under control, that answers your question. Shannon democrats propose the Funding Increase to the title x Family Planning program. The Trump Administration headband that funding for going to clinics that Fund Abortions was the Biden Administration is moving against that plan. President biden taking question from citizens in milwaukee. At the white house continuing to push for the 2 trillion covid19 Relief Package and that begins in earnest. Lets break down what we heard from New York Post oped editor, Turning Point usa executive director charlie kirk, great to have you gentlemen with us. What do you make of the president s statement that they didnt have the vaccine when he took office . Completely and pathologically untrue. A white house official, former Trump Administration, they said there is a 1. 1 million vaccinations a day leading into joe biden being sworn into office. It was donald trump that was mocked, ridiculed and made fun of by Everything A Person in Mainstream Media when he said we would have a vaccine by october november. He was right and the announcement came right after the election and Operation Warp speed which was again considered to be a near impossibility delivered a vaccine, donald trump promised it by christmas, it was delivered before then so joe biden is trying to rewrite history and it is incredibly irresponsible. Joe biden says he wants to unify the country, we now know that is nothing more than baseless words. If you want to unify the country, say that i that i took office after and the person that iran a campaign against, i had plenty of complaints, thank you to the hard work from everyone in the Administration Prior to get the vaccine done. Instead he makes this outrageous claim, insulting to all those people who worked tirelessly to the white house, in the private sector and otherwise to get the vaccine done, trying to take credit for something he had nothing to do with it. I think it is reprehensible. Shannon lets talk about the economic package trying to push 2 trillion, couple Democratic Senators that have come forward to say is not related to covid19 relief, the pork and stuff tucked in there but heres what the president said tonight about the Economic Impact of what would happen if they passed the package. If we pass this bill alone we will create 7 million jobs this year. Look what the impact on the economy would be. You think it is bad now . The vast majority of serious people say bigger is better now, not spending less. Bigger is better when it comes to spending those tax dollars. I think the bottom line is the american workers, American Families need relief right now. A lot of people are hurting. As a conservative i think it is a big mistake to set ourselves against any kind of relief whatsoever and something has to come out of washington, it will be used as a political matter if republicans are cnet instructors at a time those families are out of work and hurting. You mentioned the Hyde Amendment and other things, discrete issues where republicans should speak up but on the whole i think it is a mistake for republicans to restore their old role of just being kind of budget parks at a time when they are getting paid and millions of americans arent. Shannon On The Other Side of the aisle there was quite a statement from donald trump talking about his feelings on Minority Leader Mitch Mcconnell saying republicans cant win with him, hes not going to get it done, hes not america first, a rather blistering statement for this comes at the same time political playbook talks about the political morning console paul that said following the senate trial showing despite the Impeachment Managers Gripping Presentation and video laying out trumps role in the January 6th Rampage The Gop remains the Undisputed Party of trump and a lot of polls show people in the gop, he is still there number one choice, 2024 is a long way away, they didnt succeed in banning him from running again at least not yet. That is rated a lot of people are asking when is the republicans of war going to start. It is already underway. I want to begin quickly and end quickly. It needs to happen. Political primaries after losing the white house are nasty, brutish and short to quote a great philosopher who said something similar many years ago and looking at the civil war, we need to make sure the best ideas win, the Beltway Class Run by this cheney and the Republican Leaders think they can win so be it, present your ideas, donald trump has proved his ideas have restricting immigration and fair trade deals are very popular. Political primaries like officer, no one likes taking it but it is good for you and i want the Republican Party to be unified next to, this year needs to be the year we do some soulsearching. Are we going to be a chamber of Commerce Party or people centered party, the Party Donald Trump left behind and still wants to continue to lead. Shannon 2022 will give us a better view how they move forward. Thank you both.

Get the blankets out, come to the cars to keep our phones charged and when we got up there was no water. Texas remains in a deep freeze tonight, ice, record Cold Temperatures and extraordinary demand, folks retreat to their cars to get warm and charge their phones. Lets talk about why the Lone Star State is in this position with the author of the moral case for fossil fuel, alex epstein. I want to read something from the ap, a complete bungle, texas energy pride, some Wind Turbine Generators were ice, twice as much power wiped out in natural gas and coal plants forcing controlled outages, the only way to avert a more dire blackout in texas. It is not because the Wind Turbines froze. What is the situation . Everyone should be outraged. This is 2021. We know how to have reliable electricity in cold conditions and snowstorms. People deal with much worse conditions than texas. What is happening . Why is this happening in texas but also california . Why are people around the country having shortages . The reason is policy has shifted toward value and reliability, not value and reliability because it is trying to force us with a lot of solar, thats the bottom line in texas and everywhere. Not that the Wind Turbines froze and that is the problem. The problem is reliability has been punished, unreliability has been rewarded for decades and it is coming home to roost. Shannon you listen to folks who talk about the planning for this and this is the kind of whether texas usually sees that there are millions of people across the country under this terrible crippling weather right now. Congressman from texas said it raises the obvious question can we ever rely on renewables to power the grid during extreme weather . Know. We need gas or nuclear and subsidizing investment in wind has pushed gas and nuclear out. Now we live with the consequences. Is that an accurate assessment of what has happened in texas . That is a very accurate and very important that if you look at solar and wind they were completely out to lunch, the Wind Turbines were frozen. Even when they were working they were virtually useless because the sun and the wind are not reliable sources of energy. In terms of the plant coal, gas and nuclear, those plants work well all over the world, the problem is texas is not focused on the grid operation, not enough focus and resiliency. Why is that . They are focused on promoting unreliable Wind Turbines that cost a lot of money, maintenance and resilience, we dont focus on powerline so this up session with Unreliable Energy comes at a huge cost . I want to play something from a Texan In Smithville not far from arkansas or austin. She said tonight about a situation where they are trying to keep things together for their household, their animals, here is her assessment. Like millions of texans we have been dealing with rolling Power Outages and weve had to deal with trying to shut our house down so much to keep the heat in and failed to do that where everything is freezing. All the Running Water we had is now frozen in our pipes. Shannon you talk about texas having a position with windsor that kind of thing but there one of the largest producers of Energy Resources that they have. Why would texas be so interested in other alternate sources win for them it is a Huge Industry there . When you think about fossil fuels. It is producing the fuels but even in texas they discriminate against natural gas the wind and solar get huge preference to get natural gas and nuclear. This is a global trend, texas is isolated grid. Its making the mistakes everyone is making but it is more isolated, we are seeing the consequences. I want to make the point to this woman, so sad to see this going to thousand 21, this is happening and we know how to prevent this and finally, we just need reliable power plants focused on secure fuel supplies, focus and resiliency. If you do that you use coal, you use nuclear, use gas. If youre concerned about co2 use nuclear, the wind and Solar Movement is antinuclear. This is not about co2. It is not forcing the reliable source of energy on us for shortterm selfinterest. Shannon Alice Epstein making the case for fossil fuels, folks on the green side say this is an anomaly about a way to judge what is happening in texas. Thanks for being with us.

Shannon Republican Leaders accusing the National Museum of africanamerican history and culture of bias over its exhibit on Supreme Court Justice Clarence thomas. We start the Lightning Round with west Point Graduate Army veteran at Yale Law Student who is making time to join us. So congressman byron donald, republican, africanamerican, Freshman Congressman from florida joined by several conservative leaders on this leader and he said as a black man who has profound respect for the contributions of justice thomas, this museum must encapsulate his life as it does for hundreds of other monumental black figures. We covered when the museum opens that there was very little mention of justice thomas. They have added an exhibit but folks are saying not enough. A halfhearted little tribute to him, i wish the museum would stop playing political games with history. There should not be an ideological test, justice thomas, the second African American Supreme Court justice earned his place. Unfortunate to speak with him. He is an honorable man, a man who served this country and something i really wish everyone would think about is it is really children who stand to lose with reporter around history to suit their ideology because when you miss the inspiration you can hear from different stories. For me following in justice thomass footsteps, going to Yale Law School and his alma mater, i would hate to see other kids from the of that it is not just about the museum. You be hardpressed to find even other black conservatives featured prominently in any of our nations like history facilities, us senator tim scott, condoleezza rice, you wont find them in these places and the reason is they happen to be conservative. Thats really wrongheaded and i wish the museum would make the right choices.

Four weeks in, the Biden Administration is still working on articulating its china policy with talk of diplomatic amateurs aimed at rejoining the Iran Nuclear Deal that donald trump pulled the us out of. The Secretary Of State out of the Biden Administrations diplomatic progress thus far. People are seen by our actions, by what we are doing, that is the president likes to say america is back, america is reengaged, america is leading. An incredible receptive audience for that. Shannon bring in former Secretary Of State mike pompeo, good to have you tonight. Thanks for having me on the show. Shannon let me start by having you respond to that because the implication is america wasnt engaged, america wasnt leading in the international community. I wish Secretary Blinken well that we were engaged and productive. A couple issues, 50 years of failed Foreign Policy with respect to the Chinese Communist party, america more prosperous, america more secure and prevent chinese commonest party from having free run to continue its efforts to be a global hegemony. The work we did in The Middle East whether it is that Abraham Accords recognizing israel or the work we did to put the Iranian Regime under pressure did good things for the American People, jobs at home, kept us more safe as well. Shannon what do you make of the attack that landed on us forces . There is a lot of speculation that iran is behind this, with the proper response to the Biden Administration . We saw this time and again when we were in charge. The iranian since weakness they will attack. When they came after an american we made clear, when they attacked american through a proxy force in iraq or through hezbollah in syria, that is the kind of strength that built the deterrence model. I hope the Current Administration wont give up on that. Under president obama they coddled the Iranian Regime, the nuclear deal presented a Clear Pathway to a Nuclear Weapon was the iranians will since the best deal they can strike and put cost on the American People, we cant go back, the American People cant afford to go back to those policies. Shannon Something Else Secretary Blinken the said with respect to the iran deal and where they are with regard to a Nuclear Weapon, he said having pulled out that lifted the restraints on them that got them this much closer to a Nuclear Weapon, he said iran is closer to having the ability to produce this weapon than when the deal was an accident put the blame on the Trump Administration essentially. Secretary blinken is right about the amount of fissile material, this highlights the failure of the deal they struck, created a Clear Pathway to Nuclear Weapon. Allowed the regime to have 150 billion worth of cash, you remember the cash transported to the regime as a result of this deal, the iranians had the capacity to push president obama around to get a deal that gave him the pathway to a Nuclear Weapon and our administration didnt permit that to happen, we put real costs on them, but the regime under enormous pressure and reduced the risk for the American People that iran would have a Nuclear Weapon whether it was the strength the president took about chemical weapons in syria, when we talk about a red line we mentor strike to destroy soleimani, the leading progenitor of iranian terrorism, the iranians came to understand we were serious about protecting america. Im counting on this administration to do the same thing. Shannon you mentioned china earlier. Lets do a flashback minute now with President Biden during the primary season and what he is saying now with respect to china. China is going to eat our lunch, come on, man. They eat our lunch. Shannon that is 180 degrees turn. To what do you attribute his change in position on the threat china is to america . I cant account for that kind of switch. Absent an incredible amount of pressure and hard work by american foreignpolicy leaders the Chinese Party will absolutely work to undermine america, undermine democracy, they will work to steal jobs from the United States, they will work to a few skate the fact that they were the primary progenitors of the fact this virus has killed hundreds of thousands of people across the world and destroyed millions of jobs and billions of Dollars Worth of wealth. If the American People are not protected, if the United States doesnt do what it can to put the Chinese Communist party to convince them america was serious about protecting its own people, secretary xi jinping will run america. We didnt let that happen in 50 years of Engagement Policy which failed to protect americans american jobs, no administration on to go back to where we were four years ago. Shannon i know it is not a quick answer but we are almost out of time. You think we will ever get a clear answer to the origin of the coronavirus . I am afraid we may not. It has been so long, the Chinese Communist party was effective at their Propaganda Campaign and cover up. I fear this investigation was brought, there was no real investigation permitted by the chinese, this party so until such time as there is a brave defector from the Chinese Laboratory or cdc equipment, until someone comes and decides to tell the true story from inside the country i doubt we ever get the complete answer because i dont think xi jinping wants you to know. Great to have you with us tonight. Great to be with you, so long. Shannon house Family Members are creating potential ethics issues for the white house next.
