“Thank God For Truckers!” they said… During a White House event in the spring of 2020, Former President Trump and Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao - flanked by trucks and commercial drivers - celebrated truckers. Trump praised truckers for their tireless, essential work to deliver much needed supplies to people managing the early COVID-19 crisis. It was a great moment for truckers. But it didn't last long. Election year politics, the port crisis, and the Freedom Convoy humbled America's heroes. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/joz-bytes/support

Following the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, there’s a growing movement within the Republican party to divorce themselves from President Donald Trump and his brand of politics. Republican Senator Ben Sasse of Nebraska said he’d consider impeachment. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao and Education Secretary Betsy Devos resigned over the president’s stoking of mob violence. However, after the Capitol was under siege on Wednesday, a half dozen Senators and more than 100 House Republicans still stood by Trump’s challenge of the election results. So where might the GOP go from here?

Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao announced her resignation yesterday via her Twitter account. The news came a day after a mob of President Donald Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol Building, temporarily delaying the certification of electoral votes. Chao said in the release, “As I’m sure is the case with many of you, it has deeply troubled me in a way that I simply cannot set aside.” She noted that her team would work with announced successor Pete Buttigieg during the transition, and the resignation will take effect on Jan.11.

Welcome to Majority.FM's AM QUICKIE! Brought to you by justcoffee.coop TODAY'S HEADLINES: Donald Trump pledges a peaceful transfer of power when Joe Biden is inaugurated on January 20th. It’s a little late now, doncha think? Meanwhile, Democrats in Congress call for Trump’s immediate removal from office, through impeachment if necessary. But they’d need to cut short their current vacation. And lastly, California looks to extend eviction protections for renters – and to send $600 state stimulus checks to many residents. Now there’s an idea worth stealing. THESE ARE THE STORIES YOU NEED TO KNOW: Here’s the state of play following Wednesday’s insurrectionist raid on the Capitol. After resuming its joint session Wednesday night, Congress voted to certify Joe Biden’s presidential election victory in the wee hours of yesterday morning. When all was said and done, one hundred and forty seven Republican members of Congress – including eight Senators – voted to overrule the Electoral College results. There are now calls that they should face consequences for supporting an anti-democratic putsch, but more on that later. After certifying Biden’s win, the House and Senate adjourned for most of the next two weeks. In a statements released yesterday, Trump offered the closest thing to a concession we will likely hear from him. In a morning statement, one day after vowing to never concede, he said QUOTE there will be an orderly transition on January 20th ENDQUOTE. In a later video, he called for calm and reconciliation in an apparent effort to appease Democrats calling for his removal. This could be how we hear from Trump going forward, in canned statements and videos from the bunker. Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg yesterday announced that Trump would be suspended from the platform indefinitely, or at least until Biden’s inauguration. There were reports that Trump has made plans to pardon family members as well as himself. No shock there. More surprising: the Trump campaign yesterday dropped all of its election challenges in Georgia. More details emerged about the mob that took the Capitol. It reportedly included a former officer of the Oakland, California Police Department, and a current sheriff’s lieutenant from Bexar County, Texas, who is now under investigation. According to Politico, more off-duty police officers and members of the military may have also participated in the mob. A West Virginia state delegate joined in and livestreamed himself pushing past police officers. A Pennsylvania Republican state senator, Doug Mastriano, also organized buses for the mob. A man who was photographed inside House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office, and stealing her mail, was identified as Richard Barnett, an avowed white supremacist. Finally, the woman who was shot and killed by Capitol Police was identified. Her name was Ashli Babbitt and she was an Air Force veteran from California, as well as a Q-Anon believer. Law enforcement sources said a Capitol Police officer was either dead or on life support last night, potentially becoming the fifth fatality related to the mob takeover. A rioter reportedly hit him in the head with a fire extinguisher. It’s all pretty grim, isn’t it? Democrats Demand Immediate Impeachment Many news organizations took the day to survey the fallout of Wednesday’s events. Reactions were many and varied. Speaking by telephone to the winter meeting of the Republican National Committee yesterday morning, Donald Trump was greeted with cheers. According to the Washington Post, some shouted we love you when Trump was put on speakerphone. Democrats were in no such lovey-dovey mood. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Trump should be immediately removed from office by way of the 25th Amendment, which is a long shot because it would require action by members of Trump’s own cabinet as well as his Vice President, Mike Pence. (Pence advisers told Business Insider he won’t support such plans.) Failing the 25th Amendment remedy, Schumer said, Trump should be impeached for his role in instigating the assault on Congress. The call for removal was taken up by a wide range of Democrats including Nancy Pelosi and Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who stressed the need to move quickly. According to the Daily Beast, members of the House Judiciary Committee began drawing up articles of impeachment Wednesday evening. Omar sponsored them yesterday. House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler said he supported the articles being brought directly to the House floor. Separately, Missouri Congresswoman Cori Bush circulated a petition calling for the expulsion of those Republican members who QUOTE incited the attempted coup and white supremacist attack ENDQUOTE. Some Republicans did pipe up, for what it’s worth. Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf released a statement imploring Trump to condemn the mob violence. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, who is married to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, announced her resignation. Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen said the Justice Department is committed to ensuring that those responsible for the attack face the full legal consequences. Former AG Bill Barr clearly blamed Trump for the violence, saying QUOTE orchestrating a mob to pressure Congress is inexcusable ENDQUOTE. The top federal prosecutor in Washington DC, Michael Sherwin, said Trump was not off limits in his investigation. The conduct of the police was heavily scrutinized. The chief of the Capitol Police resigned, and Schumer said he plans to fire the Senate sergeant-at-arms when he takes over as Majority Leader. The Wall Street Journal reported that managers of a DHS unit called Intelligence and Analysis knew of the looming mob but didn’t view it as posing a significant threat. Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser called for an investigation, noting federal cops came down harder on peaceful civil rights protesters over the summer than on violent insurrectionists this week. I wonder why. California Plans Stimulus Checks A state law protecting California tenants from pandemic-related evictions expires at the end of this month. So it’s good news, as the Los Angeles Times reports, that Governor Gavin Newsom is proposing to extend protections for renters and expedite distribution of $2.6 billion in federal rental assistance. Newsom said the budget he will release today would include the rental assistance money and a $600 state stimulus check to low-income residents. Under the proposals, Newsom said that Californians who have been impacted by this pandemic will get help to provide for their families and keep a roof over their heads. Millions of Californians lost income when the COVID-19 pandemic began in March, per the Times. Last summer, Newsom and the Legislature approved a bill that protected many tenants from evictions through January 31. Speaking Wednesday, Newsom did not say how long an extension he would support. A representative said that the plan is subject to negotiations with legislators. The governor also proposed to provide a Golden State Stimulus that would refund $600 to taxpayers who received a California earned income tax credit, the Times reports. Residents may be eligible for the tax credit if they have annual incomes of $30,000 or less. Last year, nearly four million eligible tax returns were filed. The stimulus payments would be sent out in February and March. Why don’t more states do this? AND NOW FOR SOME QUICKER QUICKIES: NBC News reports that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is no longer the richest man in the world, after Tesla CEO Elon Musk's fortune rose to $188.5 billion. That’s $1.5 billion more than Bezos. Congratulations to the insufferable plutocrat. Joe Biden has picked Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, a former union leader, to serve as his Labor secretary, according to Politico. It’s a blow to Asian American activists who’d lobbied for California Labor Secretary Julie Su to take that position. But Walsh apparently had the support of both the American Federation of Teachers and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees – or at least their leadership. People with no symptoms transmit more than half of all cases of the novel coronavirus, the Washington Post reports. The new statistic comes from a model developed by researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. I’ll say it again: stay home or stay distant, wear a mask, and wash your hands. The Guardian reports that an Iraqi court has issued a warrant for the arrest of Donald Trump. The warrant is part of the court’s investigation into the killing of a paramilitary commander who died in the same US drone strike that killed Iranian general Qassem Suleimani at Baghdad Airport last year. I know where Trump might be – is there a tip line? That’s all for the AM Quickie. Join us this afternoon on the Majority Report.

Good morning from Skift It’s Friday, January 8, in New York City. For daily updates in your inbox, subscribe to the Skift Daily newsletter at skift.com/daily. And now, here’s what you need to know about the business of travel today. U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao on Thursday resigned, leaving little in the way of a legacy behind after a long career in several Republican administrations.

Listen to the Daily Global #News from Grecian Echoes and WNTN 1550 AM.  A US Capitol police officer has died as a result of the riots, bringing the death toll to 5, Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund is resigning.  Two Cabinet members have resigned in the wake of the Capitol riot. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao and Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.  House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her leadership team are considering a rapid impeachment process if Vice President Mike Pence and the Cabinet refuse to take steps to remove Trump from office.  The US reported more than 4,000 Covid-19 deaths in a single day for the first time yesterday.  A new study offers early evidence that Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine might be effective against the two new coronavirus variants, first identified in South Africa and the United Kingdom, that are now cropping up across the globe.  Boeing has reached a $2.5 billion settlement with the Justice Department over criminal charges for the 737 Max.  Elon Musk is now the richest man on earth.

Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao is the latest to say she will resign in protest over the pro-Trump insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Former acting White House chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney resigned his post as special envoy to Northern Ireland on Thursday, saying "I can't do it. I can't stay." He went on to say, "Those who choose to stay, and I have talked with some of them, are choosing to stay because they're worried the president might put someone worse in." The question at hand is whether Donald Trump ultimately bears responsibility for the actions of supporters, many of whom marched to the building after attending a speech delivered by the President. Jens Yens Ohlin is a professor of law at Cornell University, he spoke to Philippa Tolley.

Department of Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao discusses federal efforts to keep commerce moving during the COVID-19 Pandemic

In today's Business Casual segment, MarketScale co-hosts Tyler Kern [embed contributor page] and Daniel Litwin opine on whether or not more action is required by the government to enforce the wearing of masks by passengers while on commercial flights or if this is an issue that should be mandated and imposed by the aviation industry alone. With several U.S. airlines (Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Hawaiian Airlines, JetBlue Airways, Southwest Airlines and United Airlines) threatening to ban passengers who refuse to wear masks while traveling, on July 15th, the Airlines for America trade group said they will be implementing new face mask policies for travelers as we traverse the skies during the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, many in the airline sector believe that the industry alone cannot fix this problem and have called once again on the federal government to mandate masks for passengers and frontline workers and implement broader action on COVID-19 safety measures in aviation. In fact, opposing a federal requirement on masks for flying travelers, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao has stated that the issue is best determined by airlines and unionized frontline workers, who are most at risk if coronavirus spreads on planes, with rules that can be communicated before flying, on the plane and during the flight with punishments that could include the suspension of flying privileges as well as leniency to remove masks while eating or drinking while in the air. However, Susannah Carr, an United Airlines flight attendant and Association of Flight Attendants has said that this current approach is not working and is a definitely an issue that needs to be addressed, testifying before the House Transportation Committee that her colleagues have discussed "the fact that passengers don't like to wear the mask, might take it off for a longer period than just to eat or drink." And it's not just those in the aviation industry who are upset about people not wearing masks during flights. Passengers cooperating with mask requirements are also livid with their non-masking-wearing seatmates. Further, Sara Nelson, who is the President of the Association of Flight Attendants said in a statement, "The federal government has completely abdicated its responsibility to keep the flying public and aviation workers safe during COVID-19.” She goes on to say, "Masks are essential to keep passengers, flight attendants, and frontline aviation workers safe during the Coronavirus pandemic. It is also essential to rebuild confidence in air travel.” Every week, Business Casual brings topics to the forefront that affect travelers and workers in the aviation sector as well as other B2B industries.

WASHINGTON — In January, U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao called on the nation's transportation industry to “put the brakes on human trafficking.” Chao asked for 100 pledges, within a 100-day period, from industry organizations to train employees to fight the crime of human trafficking and help raise public awareness of the growing problem. Today (May 7), the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) announced that more than 200 transportation industry leaders have answered Chao's call to help fight human trafficking. That number is more than double USDOT's initial commitment to seek out “100 Pledges in 100 Days” from transportation, labor and non-governmental organizations across the country. The signatories represent leaders across all modes of transportation, in addition to leaders of organizations that intersect with transportation, who have committed to raising public awareness regarding human trafficking and to training more than one million employees to help fight the crime. “Over 200 transportation organizations — double the original goal — are joining the department to ensure that America's transportation systems are not hijacked to facilitate human trafficking. These companies are on the frontlines of helping to ensure the safety of our traveling public,” Chao said in a video statement. Click here to view Chao's message. In late January, Chao announced a series of efforts to combat human trafficking in the transportation sector. Among those efforts, she called upon transportation leaders to take a public stand against human trafficking by signing USDOT's “Transportation Leaders Against Human Trafficking” pledge. To date, more than 450 transportation industry leaders have signed onto the pledge, and the USDOT continues to invite additional transportation leaders to join the effort. To see a full list of signatories, click here. Human trafficking is modern-day slavery, affecting nearly 25 million adults and children in the U.S. and worldwide. Victims are of every age, race, gender, background, citizenship and immigration status. Some are trafficked within their own communities, while others are transported to new locations using America's roadways, airways, railways, and waterways. In addition to US DOT's commitment to prevent human trafficking, Chao established an annual $50,000 “Combating Human Trafficking in Transportation Impact Award” to provide added incentive for individuals and entities to think creatively in developing innovative solutions to combat human trafficking in the transportation industry. USDOT received applications from organizations across the private sector as well as state and local government organizations. Chao said she is pleased to announce the United Against Slavery's (UAS) National Outreach Survey for Transportation as the first-ever recipient of this award. UAS proposed a national counter-trafficking survey of up to 15,000 respondents, with the results made available to the public. This effort could either expand upon a current UAS flight-attendant survey to include other public-facing aviation employees or be conducted within another mode of transportation. Busing on the Lookout, a program of Truckers Against Trafficking, earned second place for its proposal targeting human-trafficking loopholes that exist between buses and casinos. ArtWorks for Freedom earned third place for Airports to Freedom, a proposal to install a multimedia counter-trafficking educational kiosk in up to nine airports to educate and engage the aviation industry and traveling public. To support the USDOT's countertrafficking efforts, the USDOT Advisory Committee on Human Trafficking completed a report in July 2019 that recommends actions the USDOT can take to help combat human trafficking, along with best practices for states and local transportation stakeholders.

On this episode of The Critical Hour, Dr. Wilmer Leon is joined Ricardo Vaz, political analyst and editor at venezuelanalysis.com. As we have been discussing all week, Attorney General William Barr sent Congress his 4 page summary of the "principal conclusions" from the Mueller report. The fight is far from over. In fact, it seems like after 675 days of the investigation it is just beginning. Today, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) blocked a resolution that called for the Mueller report to be publicly released for the second time this week. And now, according to Carter Page, the former Trump campaign aide who was caught up in special counsel Robert Mueller's probe of the 2016 presidential election; “"What happened this past weekend is really just a sideshow… This is really the start of the real Russia investigation," echoing what Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham said Monday that he will probe alleged abuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) at the start of the Russia investigation, while calling on Attorney General Bill Barr to appoint a new special counsel to investigate the “other side of the story.”President Trump is calling on Russia to get out of Venezuela. Russia has sent some military planes, troops and equipment to Venezuela to help embattled President Nicolas Maduro.

The U.S. recognizes Guaido as the legitimate leader of Venezuela and has repeatedly called on Maduro to step down.In meeting with aviation leaders, Boeing rejects calls for broader oversight of flight safety. Earlier, today Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao had to explain why the U.S. was the last country to ground all Boeing 737 Max aircraft after two deadly crashes. When pressed by Senators in a hearing today, Chao insisted the decision to ground was sound and that in the days before the decision, there was no factual data to support such a move. Chao added she is concerned with any allegations of "coziness" the FAA may have with Boeing. Chao says we should have "absolute confidence" in the regulators to certify aircraft properly. British Prime Minister Theresa May is saying she will step down when Brexit is done. May called on Parliament to approve her plan for Britain to withdraw from the European Union, or EU. May has become increasingly unpopular in her Conservative Party as Brexit negotiations have dragged on. Britain's EU exit was mandated by voters in a special referendum.
