We also speak with Legislative Director of The International Union of Police Associations (IUPA) Dennis Slocumb about what he's heard from officers in regard to the mandates across the U.S., what he's concerned about if we lose more officers and what he thinks is the best outcome from the mandate issue.

 

President Biden announced a new 1.75 trillion-dollar social spending framework, calling it a  "historic economic framework" that his administration believes can pass a party line vote in Congress.

FOX News Sunday anchor, Chris Wallace joins to discuss whether this package will ultimately pass, why the President is pushing for broad sweeping legislation without a sizeable majority in Congress, whether this package would have substantial impact on fighting climate change and how the results of the Virginia governor's race could change how Democrats run their campaigns in 2022.

Along with this court case, the issue was subject to major public scrutiny, with some college athletes speaking out against the rule as unfair and outdated. One of these college athletes, Rutgers University basketball star Geo Baker joins to explain why he found the NCAA rules on name, image, and likeness inequitable for student-athletes, how people met home with support and negativity when he chose to speak out against this policy and how this change in college sports is going to have a profound impact on the lives of the players as well as the fans.
