Shelby talks about the first-of-its-kind binational electric vehicle corridor (or highway) to be built across the US and Canada! The corridor will stretch from Kalamazoo, Michigan to Quebec City, Canada. Segment 2: President Biden's campaign promise broken. Anton calls out the American Import-Export Bank for lending money to oil refineries overseas, despite President Biden’s pledge to stop federal government agencies from funding fossil fuel.
