Time in a bipartisan way. And so i want to yield to the distinguished chair because the bill that the Senate Passed is identical to our instructions to the budget as we said to them. Get behind the microphone. Yeah. The speaker is right. We got the same amount in instructions back from the senate that we passed, so we can pass it with a simple vote today and intend to. Then the committees will draft the legislation that actually creates the assignment of those dollars, and well bring that back to the floor in just a couple of weeks. And, you know, we only lost two democrats in the vote. They just voted for 1. 9 trillion. So we dont anticipate a problem. Madam speaker, do you have any concerns that a package this large approaching 2 trillion might sacrifice progressive policies Going Forward . Absolutely not. One of the things that we always discuss is, as we try to address the emergency that we have now, to crush the virus, to save the lives and livelihood of the American People, were
Lets go outfront. Good evening, i am erin burnett. Outfront. Breaking news. House republicans meeting Behind Closed Doors to debate the fate of liz cheney after she voted to impeach trump. That meeting lasted more than two hours. As her fate is up in the air, one thing the minority leader Kevin Mccarthy made clear already tonight is that he is picking a side. Marjorie Taylor Greenes side, a side of Conspiracy Theories, too fringe for fringe. A woman who days ago said she still truly believes that the election was stolen and fraudulent. A qanon supporter. Mccarthys words tonight, past comments by Marjorie Taylor greene on school shootings, Political Violence, antisemitic Conspiracy Theories do not represent the values or beliefs of the republican conference.

Balance between focusing on this problem and making absolutely sure that we dont disparage all of our military service. Were out of time. Shawn, thank you so much. I appreciate it. Well see you soon. Thanks, don. Thanks for watching, everyone. Our coverage continues. Good evening. Less than a week away from the president at the scene of his alleged crime of his democracy, members of his party are deciding right now who they are and where their loyalties actually lie. Theyre at it right now. The meeting, which has reportedly been tumultuous, is still under way. House republicans choosing whether they stand with the former president in the extremist Freshman Congresswoman he calls a rising star or with the staunchly Conservative Party leader and daughter of a former Vice President who voted to impeach him. The fact that this is happening just hours after leaders of that party paid tribute to one of the victims of the crime, Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick. Really throws the moral s
Ch change. The types of things youre looking for change. Is austin the right person to handle rooting out extremism for the military . He absolutely is. Secretary austin is someone who because of that experience and because he came up through the ranks and served as an officer, first africanamerican secretary of defense, he does have a unique understanding of the challenges that we face here. I think theres some very specific things that he needs to do and i think he understands that. I think he understands that he needs to be more intrusive. We need to be more intrusive into the lives of our service members. I think he understands we need to be absolutely sure we are using the uniform code of military to prosecute people on active duty who engage in these activities. And i think he gets we need to fully understand the full nature of the problem. s important to point out the vast people in the military are not interested in this. They want to do the right thing. Secretary austin gets t
