Underway. President biden sitting down with House Democratic leaders, this is as Congress Pushes forward with his 1. 9 Trillion Covid Relief Package. Republicans so far have pushed back on the size and scope. They proposed less than a third of that value. But democrats do have the votes to pass their own bill. Putting the president s call for bipartisanship and unity to the test. We are also watching less than an hour from now, the white house covid19 team holds a Press Conference as we get new warnings on Coronavirus Variants rapidly spreading across the country. Lets begin with manu raju on the hill. John harwood joins us from the white house. Manu, it is really interesting, Jared Bernstein said, no, were still negotiating but still full steam ahead into not needing a single republican vote. It is unlikely that this bill will win over any republicans, certainly not any Senate Republicans based on the size and scope of the legislation. They are pursuing this morning, early this mornin
Trey did you hear that . The court of Public Opinion, she says. It would have to be the court of Public Opinion because what you will see next week bears no similarity to a real court. In a real court, there is a judge was fair and neutral. Next week, the Presiding Judge is senator Patrick Leahy who has already voted twice to convict and remove donald trump from office. He would never be allowed to preside in a real court. In a real court there is a jury of women and men who have not already made up their minds. That is the only one quality you must have two serve on a real jury in a real court. There are 50 democrats will vote to convict next week no matter what the evidence is. In a real court, the jury is told to wait until the very end to reach any conclusions, in fact, you are forbidden from even beginning to reach conclusions until the very end. But not next week.

Trump to testify. Will the impeached expresident s attornes cancel his testimony . What we are learned in the wake of the capitol attack. My interview with senator warren on the fast start from the Biden Administration and her push to keep it going when all in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Just over an hour ago, the House Of Representatives voted to strip republican congresswoman Marjory Taylor greene of her committee assignments. This is a rare occurrence. It might be unprecedented. We cant tell. It looks like we cant find an actual precedent for this. In all the recent instances when all this has happened, when members were removed from committees by their own parties, it happened because the party removed them instead of the house. The threat of removal from the whole house did not stop congresswoman greene from the racist and violent Conspiracy Theories that got her into this situation in the first place. Yesterday, she was throwing around Conspiracy Theories like d
Endorsed and repeated. 11 republicans chose to cross the aisle to join the democrats. Here they are in Ejecting Greene from those committees which essentially sends her into a kind of legislative exile. In remarks on the house floor this afternoon, greene apologized for none of it. She expressed regret for her comments and said she, quote, stumbled into qanon after doubting media reports. The problem with that is, though, i was allowed to believe things that werent true.

Shall we stay divided like this . Will we allow the media that is just as guilty as qanon of presenting truth and lies to divide us . Here for the record the briefest reminder of some of greenes Greatest Hits that led to todays vote. Any americans are like bl
