Charge of the recovery act and it was hard as hell to get the votes for it to begin with. And then it was hard as hell to get the number even we got. But one thing we learned, is we cant do too much here. We could do too little. We could do too little and sputter. Real live people are hurting and we could fix it. And we could fix it. That is has been his message from the beginning. And President Biden is focused on this today. Hes expecting to speak live later this hour and on how ep plans to revised the economy in response to covid. And the latest jobs report came out this morning showing only 49,000 jobs were added last month across country. And still there is more. On capitol hill, republican freshman Marjorie Taylor greene, shes about to hold a News Conference and at the moment im going to use the term News Conference loosely as we will see if she actually takes questions from actual real reporters which she has long avoided.

Viewers in the United States and all Around The World. This is new day. And House Democrats today plan to strip Marjorie Taylor greene of her Committee Assignments. The vote will force republicans to go on the record to either publicly support or rebuke this controversial qanon supporter in their midst. There was a highstakes meeting of House Republicans last night and Minority Leader Kevin Mccarthy declined to take any action against greene, though she has never publicly apologized or recanted for supporting the execution of top democrats, shes never backed down from any of her violent rhetoric. But it was liz cheney whose fate was uncertain last night. The number three republican managed to keep her spot in leadership surviving calls to oust her for voting to impeach donald trump.

The brief goes on to say quote insufficient evidence exists upon which a reasonable juriest could conclude the 45th President s statements were accurate or not and thereafter denies they were false. Insufficient ev
