Authorization for Emergency Use. That means options when it comes to vaccinations. Thats good. At the same time, republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greene is holding her own News Conference one day after she was kicked off her Committee Assignments for supporting over years violent rhetoric, dangerous disinformation. We begin with the economic news. Christine romans, 49,000 or so new jobs. Yesterday we had nearly 800,000 new unemployment claims. Do the math for us there. Where does it stand in terms of all these lost jobs . Theres no historical precedent for this. You had 14. 8 Million People who told the government this month that they didnt have a job to go back to. The business they worked for was closed or was barely open but not allowed to give them hours. And a quarter of the people working say theyre working from home. The virus has completely changed what is usually a dynamic labor force. This 49,000 jobs created was mostly in professional business services, going back to
Go for it. Bill makes you think about Election Night more than two months ago when david perdue in georgia fell by 3 10 of a vote to avoid a runoff. This is the payoff.

Happy friday. Looks like a purely partisan path. History was made when Vice President Kamala Harris cast the tiebreaker advancing the 2 trillion relief plan. The yays are 50, nays are 50. The senate equally divided. The Vice President votes in the affirmative and the concurrent resolution as amended is adopted. This after 15 hours of votearama The Republicans forced a majority to add amendments. More than 850 were filed. In the end 41 roll call votes were taken. Among the ones that passed joni ernst to prohibit increasing the minimum wage during the pandemic. Another blocking Illegal Immigrants from getting Stimulus Checks as we
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. Well, that is clearly not true because mccarthys actions speak much louder than words, he is siding with greene. Nowhere in his statement does he mention pulling her from both committees.

Democrats want republicans to strip her of her Committee Assignments including a seat on the house education and labor committee. Theyre threatening to bring the matter to the house tomorrow if republicans dont and its not just democrats upset about her there are republicans, conservatives like kevin cramer. She is very extreme to say the least. The antisemitism, ive never seen anything quite like it. The antisemitism, School Shootings arent
Amazing. That guy is really bringing great work. These are regular American People who are disaffected and frustrated. I remember seeing this with al qaeda. And the taliban. Now, they dont have the same literacy curve that we hear, the exposure, the information and all that, which makes it even worse that people can fall for it, but they can. They can be, like, i support trump, you support trump and these people are trying to get him and heres how. One step and another step. And now the Republican Party is saying to people in their ranks, its okay to listen to these guys. Yeah. Its okay. Yeah. Well, you are what you eat. And its im serious. I cant explain to you i dont even have the words to tell you just how outraged i am and how just infuriating and frustrating the level of hypocrisy is right now. Were not talking about were not talki ing about fire brands. Right . There are fire brands in the Republican Party. There are fire brands in the democratic party. They say things that are p
