On today's 'BradCast':  President Joe Biden announced 'This is a great day for America,' after the CDC released new COVID guidance allowing those who are fully vaccinated to take off their masks, indoors and out, and end social distancing in most circumstances, with several notable and important exceptions that include when traveling and visiting nursing homes and healthcare settings. Those who are not fully vaccinated (meaning two weeks after receiving their final dose) should still follow CDC protocols on masking and social distancing. States are enacting creative measures to coax more adults into getting vaccinated, including coupons and other giveaways. Ohio's Republican Gov. Mike DeWine announced a lottery, with those who are vaccinated getting a chance to win $1 million. The incentives are funded by Biden's and the Democrat's American Rescue Plan that passed with zero Republican votes. In Congress, Georgia's embarrassing Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene may trigger yet another House ethics investigation into her actions after she attempted to bully Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in the halls of Congress. House Republicans spent the week trying to gaslight the American public and lie about the US Capitol Insurrection. Politico delves into interstate extradition statutes in the event that a certain resident of the Mar-A-Lago resort in Florida comes under criminal indictment from the District Attorney in Manhattan. Donald Trump's White House Counsel Don McGahn will finally answer questions about his starring role in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report documenting at least 10 documented instances of criminal corruption of justice by the disgraced former president. Colonial Pipeline reportedly paid ransom to hackers to restart operations. Plus Desi Doyen has our latest 'Green News Report.'
