Topic: Buy American

Vice President Joe Biden is mocked for a "Meet the Press" appearance where he defended the fair treatment of terrorists while simultaneously predicting their execution. The hosts also discuss the removal of "Buy American" provisions from the stimulus bill, noting that other nations like China and Japan successfully implemented similar protectionist measures in their own recovery plans.

The stimulus bill includes "Buy American" provisions for construction projects, though the President retains authority to waive these under the Trade Agreements Act. Additionally, $7 billion is allocated for broadband stimulus, though the grants are restricted to non-profit organizations serving vulnerable populations.
