Capitol Report (Feb. 10): US Truckers Plan Large-Scale Protest

Inflation hits a 40-year high at 7.5 percent. Lawmakers are concerned it’s going to ruin the economy, while the White House remains optimistic.

Super Bowl Sunday is almost here, and we had a chance to speak to the founder of a fan favorite—Papa John’s. Papa John Schnatter tells us how inflation is affecting all of us and expresses concerns over the direction of the pizza chain he founded.

The massive trucker protest in Canada has inspired U.S. truckers. Now a group in the United States is planning a protest of their own—potentially impacting the Super Bowl and President Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address scheduled for March 1.

D.C. police arrested a 16-year-old boy in connection with bomb threats to several local schools, and Kamala Harris’s husband had to be evacuated. The investigation continues with the help of the federal government.
