Description

We’re in the longest period of time since the minimum wage has been created that it hasn’t been adjusted. You’ve probably heard the progressive and Congressional Democrats argument for a $15 an hour federal minimum wage. Now, some Republicans are responding with a proposal to raise it to $10 an hour by 2025.

Plus, what we’re just learning about security around the Jan. 6 insurrection.

And, how Home Depot is a proxy for the housing markets.


Guests: Axios' Sarah Mucha, Courtenay Brown and Glen Johnson.
