About this episode
While President Biden and leaders across corporate America have been encouraging, incentivizing, and even requiring that employees get vaccinated, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) has vocally opposed mask mandates, vaccine mandates, and Covid-19 passports. In a lively interview with Andrew Ross Sorkin and Becky Quick, Senator Cruz defends his stance on masks in schools and weighs in on employer rights to require behaviors from their workers. Plus, CNBC’s Senior Economics Reporter Steve Liesman shares data from CNBC’s All-America Economic Survey, which reveals American openness to vaccination and vaccination requirements. In a conversation exclusive to Squawk Pod, Liesman explains where most Americans find mandates reasonable, and where they don’t. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
