who left early. chuck schumer said thank you for taking time to read the bill. >> we're going to power through and finish this bill however long it takes. the american people are counting on us, and our nation depends on it. i want to thank everyone, everyone, on the floor staff who worked late into the night and into the wee hours of the morning to finish reading the senate amendment to the american rescue plan. i'm sure you all didn't expect that part of your job this week would entail standing on your feet and reading dense legislative language for more than ten hours straight. as for our friend from wisconsin, i hope he enjoyed his thursday evening. >> cnn correspondent jessica dean is covering this on the hill for us. this vote-a-rama has begun, jessica. explain what this is and why this could last for days. >> reporter: right, brianna, this could stretch out for a long, long time. a vote-a-rama means any senator can bring something to the floor and vote on it. this could continue on as long as someone has a vote. to give you an example, bernie sanders was the first to bring an amendment to the floor. it was a $15 an hour minimum wage. that was removed from the original house bill that came to the senate by the parliamentarian ruling that was not able to be in. he pushed for it to be included and also raised not just a $15 minimum wage for hourly employees but also for tipped employees as well. now, eight democrats voted against that, so it did not have the votes to pass, it was not expected to pass. but what's important about this is this has stretched on that vote for 100-some minutes and it was supposed to be taking about 30 minutes or so. it's possible that, you know, this could go on for a very, very long time. as we look ahead, the challenge for democrats, president biden and senate majority leader chuck schumer both pleading with them to not join any amendments to keep this solidly republican versus democrat in all of this. republicans, of course, hoping to make democrats take tough votes on this, take tough votes on immigration, on energy, and really draw out the process and perhaps, again, go with the democrats when it comes to these amendments. it's anybody's guess at this point how long this could go on. in the long run, it is expected that the bill will pass. >> there could be some pain. jessica dean on the hill for us, thank you. republicans have voiced their objections to the covid relief plan. john, the gop is arguing there is nothing in the bill for schools. fact check that for us. >> that is false. in fact, there is $130 billion set aside for schools which, last i checked, is far more than nothing. around 6 billion of that will be spent in this calendar year but it would go to things like improving school ventilation, reducing class size, increase ppe, all things about reopening schools as fast as possible consistent with safety. >> senate minority leader mitch mcconnell claimed on tuesday that about 9% of the money in the bill is in the health care space, is that right? >> that is broadly right. mcconnell has a point here. you know, the money that is going to health care is wide-reaching. however, it's going to dramatically expand testing and contact tracing which has not been adequately funded in the past, improve vaccination and accelerate that further. but the bulk of the money in this bill is going to things like individual stimulus checks, unemployment relief and relief for state and local governments. that's where the bulk of the money is going, but obviously, all these things have been impacted, the larger economy has been impacted by the covid crisis, and that's what much of this money seeks to do in the covid relief act. >> there are funds for b.a.r.t., which is the bay area rapid transit line. is it? >> not anymore. that was removed from the bill as was a bridge in upstate new york. some rapid transportation remains for the airport and amtrak. they've seen revenues decrease travel over the last year. but part of the baubles that republicans have tried to make an issue are no longer a part of this bill. thank you for taking us through that, john avalon. several states have been quick to reopen their state and stop mask mandates even though cases are plateauing. states that actually kept mask mandates and other safety restrictions had fewer cases and deaths. rates ticked up where people were allowed to eat inside restaurants and enter retail businesses, which is why many are hammering places like texas. its restrictions end next week, and it will become the most populist state that does not have a mask mandate any longer. residents are calling this a slap in the face. dahlia ramos lives in brownsville. she lost her husband ricardo to the coronavirus last year. dahlia, i know it's been such a tough year for you, and i commend you for coming on to talk to us about it still. what is it like, knowing who you've lost and how many others were lost, to see the state reopen with no mask mandate? >> thank you for having me. when i came on the governor's mandate, it was actually through a facebook post. at the first minute i saw it, i was actually kind of shocked. as i was trying to read through t the next two posts after that were actually community members asking for prayers for local educators that were fighting covid in the icu. so just the vast contrast of those two posts and those two stories in my small community was enough to really turn that shock into a little bit of anger. i'm an educator, and believe me, all ed indiucators across the s we want to serve our students. we want them to come back. we want businesses to open up. we don't want anybody experiencing financial hardships. that is not our goal here, but there is a way and a manner to go about that and still giving the virus the respect it deserves. there are nurses and doctors who are fully exhausted, working 24-hour shifts, just so, as you mentioned earlier, the numbers can plateau. i don't understand, and what so many don't understand is why test the mandate? why remove the masks right now, why, when we're barely hitting the point when people can barely get test ed in a reasonable amount of time, where people can actually go to the hospital and get treated. why are we removing them right now? my children and myself have experienced, as you mentioned, tremendous, tremendous loss. what we're trying to avoid is for others to experience that loss. i don't want other children in my community growing up without a father the way my children have to now. so that's why we question something that is a community responsibility all of a sudden turns to an individual responsibility. >> i want to ask you about that. you say you're going to wear your mask with honor. >> with honor. >> you have a clear perspective honoring your late husband and people who you do not want to succumb to covid like he did. >> exactly. >> you're talking about the personal responsibility element of this. the governor said removing the mandate does not absolve people of that personal responsibility. do you think people will do the right thing on their own? >> i hope and i pray that they do, because everybody in one way or another has been affected by this virus, whether it be the loss of a spouse or immediate family member wlrks it be the loss of a friend, whether it be loss of employment, of financial stability. you know everyone has experienced a loss due to covid. the only way texas can give us a fighting chance is to continue wearing masks. yes, open up businesses. i understand that. i know we need to take responsibility and help our fellow texans in that aspect. but if we're going to shop with you, support your business, wear a mask and wear it with honor, because you're providing and protecting your community members, your family members, and something as a mask can truly help. if we expect the for our safety. the best thing we can do is wear a mask to prevent an overload on their part. you're right, i do wear it with honor. and in remembrance of all the people that we'rere not able to make it through. >> delia, how have you been doing? it's been several months since you lost ricardo. i know this has been the hardest year of your life. tell us what it's been like to go through this and also looking around and seeing other people who are, too. >> yesterday was eight months since we lost my husband, and it has been very traumatic. many people who have lost a close family member to covid have an experience and can share an experience in regard to having so many of your last moments ripped away. i was not able to say goodbye to my husband in person. even after he passed, i wasn't able to view him in the hospital. we could text, we could call, but that was about it. i know the nurses and the doctors are trying everything to the best of their ability, but so many clinics and hospitals are severely understaffed. it's never going to completely go away, the trauma and the fear that my family and my children have experienced, but knowing that covid is the first that was affected, our home, our place of employment. my family is determined not to let covid paralyze us because we have already lost enough as it is, but. we'll figure out this list, figure out the best way to treat umplt to returnhis and go back world the way it was. unfortunately, that's not the way it works. sometimes being a leader, you have to make those tough calls. you have to give in one area and pull back in another. i just wish governor abbott would have taken more time in thinking about that situation. >> delia, you clearly have thought a lot about it. you know the cost of this, and i just appreciate you coming on to talk about it. thank you. >> thank you so very much, and prayers for everybody that has made it through and families who are lost, you are not alone. wear your mask with honor. >> you're amazing, delia. thank you so much. the man who posed in house speaker nancy pelosi's office has a quote in court. hear what he screamed out in answer. and fox tv in the era of the biden administration. pro-level. luvs. parent like a pro. visible is wireless that doesn't play games. no surprise fees, legit unlimited data for as little as $25 a month. and the best part, it's powered by verizon. but it gets crazier. bring a friend every month and get every month for $5. which is why i brought them. two $5-a-months right here. hey. hey. plus the players of my squad. hey. what's up?

>> i guess so. after 10 or 15 years of this network claiming it's fair and balanced every time it's turned further to the right. now murdoch is admitting what the network is all about. it is an anti-biden network. that's the agenda. the spin today, brianna, as he was talking about the opinion shows, but the opinion shows are what define fox news. the newscasts have been shrinking and the audience for those news programs have been shrinking as well. fox viewers want the red meat provided by tucker carlson, who, by the way, is lockhart murdoch's closest friend? it's tucker carlson. that tells you everything you need to know about the fox news playbook right now. >> look, we know there is a shrinking and small group of straight news journalists at fox, but it is a small section of what is at fox. they're in the reporter ranks, they're not the ones in general hosting shows. and increasingly, fox is moving into what the prime time has made them -- you know, has made them into. murdoch admitted that the fox audience, brian, is disappointed in the election results. how much does that factor into this strategy moving forward and the fox lineup? >> that is the big story. that is the major factor. the fox audience does not want to hear bad news about republicans, does not want to hear good news about democrats. so it is all a ratings ploy. and it is very clear from the programming and the sources inside fox who are speaking out about it. it is notable that lockland was speaking to investors saying, hey, the ratings are going to come back, the viewers are coming home. to some extent, that's starting to be true. but this is all about business, all about profit. i think when people want to understand how this propaganda machine works, and when it doesn't work, it's about rupert and locklan murdoch and how much money they can make. there is another murdoch, james murdoch. he is disgusted by the rupert murdochs of the world. he wants to come and take over. but so far there is no sign of that. this channel is moving further and further to the right, so much so that i had one fox employee tell me, we're going so far to the right we're going to fall over. >> brian stelter, thank you so much. great to see you. i do want to get back now to the fallout from the capitol riots. minute ago we told you how some of these suspects are melting down in an effort to stay behind bars. these riot dfrts, areva, i wonder what you think in the complaints and how they view their actions on january 6. >> what we saw them do was exercise their privilege. they believe they were entitled to storm the capitol, to break windows, to break doors, to take weapons into the capitol, to go into nancy pelosi's office, put their feet up on the desk, to destroy property, to even deaf ca indicate -- deficate in our nation's capitol. the nerve that one person said they were detained for one month and that was unfair to him. we know the differences in terms of how african-americans of the criminal justice system are treated versus how non-african-americans are treated, so to see these defendants have meltdowns and suggest that the system is being unfair thome is really rep reprehensible and appalling conduct. >> the defendant, areva, who yelled at the judge, the so-called qanon shaman, the man wearing face paint and horns, listen to him. >> i have a song about shamanism. it's about causing vibrations in a sacred chamber. i actually stopped vandalism from the senate. i stopped someone stealing muffins out of the breakroom. >> his defense is that officers allowed him in. will that work? >> reporter: not at all, brianna, and you see how they're all engaging if revisionism. he was there preventing this destruction from occurring. what we saw immediately after the insurrection were people going on facebook, people going on interviews, bragging about how they had destroyed property in the capitol, bragging about how they had broken doors and had stormed the capitol. so now all of that bragging is to your r turning into somehow we're supposed to feel sorry for them. they are the victims of the insurrection. it's not going to work, these defenses are not going to work, but i just hope we don't see what we heard hint of which is maybe all these individuals will not be prosecuted. so far 300 have been arrested. we know there are many, many more that should be arrested and we know they should be held accountable to the highest standards possible given the reprehensible conduct they involved themselves in on january 6. >> areva martin, thank you. we appreciate it. a mayor turning down doses and doses of johnson & johnson vaccine because he says they're not the best. we'll fact-check that. as states begin lifting mask restrictions, studies say they do have an impact. we needed to make sure that, if they couldn't get to the food, the food would come to them. we can deliver for food banks and schools. amazon knows how to do that. i helped deliver 12 million meals to families in need. that's the power of having a company like amazon behind me.

the timing can't be dismissed. >> yes. a very interesting set of revolutions. of course, these date way back to when harry and meghan were based in 2018 and early 2019 and these allegations claim, or accuse meghan, of bullying but actually lack examples of it at the same time. bullying in the workplace is a very serious subject that has to be investigated. i imagine harry and meghan want it to be investigated, too. we've seen from her response they're very saddened by these claims. listen, i personally spent a lot of time getting to know the people working for harry and meghan over the years. several different generations of staff, and, yes, i've come across people who are frazzled, tried and tested by their jobs because often they found themselves stuck in the middle of the sussexes and the institution of the monarchy, but never did i hear the word "bullying" uses. >> a number of american fans of meghan markle look at this and they say there's a double standard here. they say she's being investigated for bullying, which as you mentioned that is a serious charge. but prince andrew wasn't publicly investigated even as he faced allegations of sex abuse of a minor and maintained a friendship with the late jeffrey ep sstein even after he was convicted of sex crimes and registered as a sex offender. how do you see this claim of a double standard? >> yeah. we've often seen when convenient for the palace, that "no comment" peclause, the timing o the story is obviously pretty noticeable as is the fact the palace put out the statement to media organizations around the world to announce that they would be doing a full h.r. investigation into this. you know, look. it's hard to be, to look at this without thinking that there is more going on here. it sorts screams of your final dump in the throes of a presidential election. throw whatever you can at the opposition and hope something sticks. ultimately it's not going to stop harry and meghan from sharing what they have to say on sunday and the palace can't do anything about it. >> the narrative from allies of the royal family appears to be that in the big picture of this, meghan is to blame for this secession from the royal family. american observers especially have a hard time not seeing sexism and racism in that. having just had a recent awakening on these issues here in america, does the royal family understand that? in their calculations, and their view of what's going on? >> i think that's something that meghan struggled with during her time as a working member of the royal family. was dealing with issues of racism, particularly in the british press, and having an institution that wanted to maintain relationships with those media organizations, and not defend meghan. you have to remember, when we had resurgence of the black lives matter movement last year the house of windsor was silent. no support. the only people that were talking is harry and meghan over in the u.s. is shows where things are at. and going back to bullying accusations. it's hard to not see a pattern where women and women of color in the workplace are often accused that men and white individuals are not. it's something we've seen seriously being problematic in the past, and meghan is clearly a victim of that. >> we'd love to have you on after this big interview this weekend. it reserve'satory. >> thanks very much. and a voterama that could take days and moments ago huddled up talking about jobless benefits. plus, were rioters in communication with lawmakers?
