Or sleepier . Dana i would have gotten 10 hours of sleep if i went to bed like i felt like it. If you have any tips or tricks for the new schedule. Bill dana is here in the morning and evening and doing it all right now. Dana i went to bed earlier than most children last night and our Line Producer went to bed. Bill more caffeine. Eight hours. Dana we have a capitol hill watch with jackie heinrich. The Senate Moving Forward on covid relief without republican support . Thats right, dana. President biden reportedly told democrats to move forward with his 1. 9 trillion proposal not long after sitting down with Senate Republicans to try to hash out a bipartisan deal. 618 billion proposal was swiftly rejected. Democrats cleared a procedural hurdle to go forward with Budget Reconciliation to pass bigger bill with a simple majority. Republicans can join us but dont try to go against us. We have the majority and we arent backing down. Our members who were in the meeting felt that the president seemed to be more interested in that than his staff did or that it seems like the democratic leadership in the house and senate are. Here is where i think were headed. Looks like the majority is going to have us vote on the motion to proceed to the budget this afternoon. Theyve chosen a totally partisan path. Moderate democrat senator joe manchin promised he will try to make this bill as bipartisan as possible during the Budget Reconciliation process and work on some of those points that republicans find unpalatable. Dana side bar on capitol hill some republicans want to strip Representative Ilhan Omar of her Committee Assignments. The rebuttal from republicans after democrats seized on the moment to try to make freshman Congresswoman Marjorie Tailor Greene the face of the Republican Party linking her to qanon because of her embrace of Conspiracy Theories. A meeting last night where Minority Leader met with greene and tried to work out some punishment over her remarks. She did not back down and now floating idea of Stripping Greene of one of her committees. If democrats come after greene omar is fair game. In light of conduct she has exhibited arguing she has made antisemitic comments in the past. Democrats are fighting back. Dean phillips said get a grip on reality. She didnt believe no airplane hit the pentagon in 9 11 and lasers started the california wildfires. Gop leadership is awaiting a status report amid pressure to oust representative liz cheney of her leadership post after she voted to impeach President Trump. A battle happening on both ends of the Republican Party now and democrats are seizing on the moment. Dana thanks for getting us kicked off this morning. Bill Juan Williams with me now. Josh holmes as well. Welcome to the program. Lets pick up on the omar titfortat. She later said its all about the benjamins, baby. Is this a titfortat, juan . And would you understand that . I think its not an equivalent at all, bill. But you know i understand whats going on here. This is politics, hardball, and given what is going on in terms of the civil war within the Republican Party over marjorie greene, you know, you hear what is coming from Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell saying that basically her Conspiracy Theories and ideas are a cancer within the Republican Party and tearing at the fabric of the country, i think there are people who say lets find a vulnerable democrat and try to go after her to try to dilute the power of whats being said about greene. Dana that brings up what i wanted to talk about with josh. Greene said the real cancer for the Republican Party is weak republicans and this is why were losing our country. Its absurd i have a hard time wrapping my mind around it. The things this woman said over the last two years go beyond the pale. To respond to what juan was saying, the difference between republicans and democrats in congress is when extremism threatens to define their party youve time and again watch republicans say no thank you. That goes back to Congressman Mccarthy talking about steve king. If you remember on the racist comments he had mccarthy moved quickly to strip him of his Committee Assignment and considering doing the same thing with greene. You watch nancy pelosi do nothing about omar and embrace her and put her on plum Committee Assignments. Extremism can go on both sides but only one party that is taking acknowledgement of it. Bill how about that, juan . Well, i think we have to define what we consider to be extremism. Attacks on israel that are unfounded are political. I dont know i would say they were extreme. Bill a lot of people take it to be antisemitic as you know. We can agree on that if you want. Im just saying it is not shooting somebody in the head. Not suggesting that somehow the Jewish Community was involved in paying for a laser to start the wildfires in california. To me that is something that is disinformation and tears at the fabric of the society. We can have arguments over israel and we can even say that we think some of them are antisemitic. And we can have repercussions. Justified repercussions for antisemitic statements but what she is doing is a whole different kettle of fish. Bill one is considered weird and kooky. Why do we look at one side or the other and understand okay, i have to defend the indefensible here because they wear a republican shirt. No thank you. Greene no thank you, omar, no thank you, lets call it a day. Dana another topic. The idea people are trying to figure out coming up with some ideas to deal with disinformation. One would be this is from the New York Times the Biden Administration can help solve our reality crisis. By creating some sort of reality czar. An idea he put forward. Here is what alexandria ocasiocortez had to say about it. There is a Commission Being discussed. Well have to figure out how we rein in our Media Environment so you cant spew disinformation and misinformation. Dana she said that earlier this month. You love free speech, what is your take, juan . I do. I realize were in an era of social media where lots of disinformation just pure distortion is allowed. I think it is hurting our political discourse to the point it is hard to have an honest discussion without people on the extremes. I just want to say thank you to josh because i think we dont need to put on red and blue uniforms to say when were dealing with lies and things that have no add no value to real discussion and attempts to solve real problems in our country we need to come together and say stop it. Bill well leave it on that. Thank you, josh. Thank you, juan. Well see what happens today. Dana byebye. Bill thanks. I think most folks want protections from being deplatformed. Not just being banned from twitter or something. As weve seen these companies can act and collude. Weve gone down a dangerous path. It provides protections for individual floridians and i think it will be positively received. Dana Florida Governor ron desantis pushing to he wants the companies to face a 100,000 fine for every single day that a candidate for office in florida is blocked. Dagen mcdowell joins us with perspective. Governor desantis is right on this point but the proposal is very narrow and specific to the state of florida. But the governors goal is very clear. To keep the pressure on these social Media Companies to stop them from censoring particularly conservatives and maintain and elevate a Public Awareness about what is going on with these technology monopolies. These allpower and unchecked gigantic tech firms. I will point this out. In the miami herald article on this in the first paragraph of it it said that the idea was to penalize social Media Companies for blocking politicians even if they incite violence, unquote. In the miami herald. Thats bias and editorializing the point. Governor ron desantis never said that. Is this a problem . Absolutely. Let me talk quickly about the New York University study that was dispel the notion that social Media Companies were censoring conservatives. That study, which was spread around on social media, was bank rolled by a far left mega donor, a tech billionaire, a donor to joe bidens campaign. A dont believe your lying eyes story. Anybody who has been on social media knows conservatives get censored and people on the left dont. Bill he said it is a proposal. They would fine a company 100,000 a day until the candidates media site was restored. 100 grand for big tech is peanuts. Thats one state. Bigger problem will be the monopolies and about four months ago democrats in the House Of Representatives put together a 450 page report about the danger of apple, google, amazon and facebook and those monopolies, how they are detrimental to our democracy and our economy. This was led by jerry nadler and it was a long report about the prescription to essentially regulate and even dismantle these companies. So there is agreement on the right and the left. I think its one of the reasons these Big Tech Companies are going after conservatives and trying to curry favor with the democrats in power. Bill at Least Desantis is trying to do something about it. Dana in terms of the idea i want to get your thoughts about jeff bezos stepping down as the ceo of amazon. Is this huge news . I wasnt shocked. Not shocked. He is stepping down from the ceo job on top. He is worth the bigger again, he is going out at a time when there will be greater scrutiny on amazon because of its power, because of its size as a monopoly in terms of antitrust and regulation. The man who was running the Amazon Web Services and it pulled the plug on parler. Amazon has a history of steam rolling rivals. Small companies that sell their products on amazons platform basically my word, stealing the idea, recreating the product and selling it as a private label product. They cloned a line of Camera Tripods at one point. This is just one of many examples. A Small Company that sold on amazon site nearly put the company out of business. So there is going to be a lot of heat on andy jaffe. Maybe thats one of the reasons. Dana he says he wants to spend more time with his girlfriend and bill his newspapers. What do you do with 185 billion . You got eight hours of sleep. Dana go to bed any time you want. Spending a lot on a dietitian and personal trainer. Thats how he got the new girlfriend i think. Dana billions probably didnt hurt. Bill fox news alert. Two f. B. I. Agents killed yesterday. Three others wounded trying to serve a warrant in south florida. The suspect was under investigation for child pornography. He barricaded himself in an apartment, looked through a keyhole to see the f. B. I. Officers approach him and then opened fire. What more do we know about this . They have the Traffic Running in front of this gated community that was shut down yesterday after the gun Battle Erupted Just Before Dawn at 6 00 a. M. One of the darkest days in the f. B. I. History. One of the most deadly as well. Two agents killed, three agents shot. Two wounded. Had multiple Gunshot Wound and theyre in the hospital now in stable condition. The third agent treated on the scene. Now Law Enforcement officials talking to the miami herald say the gunman fired from inside the apartment. Filed through the door after monitoring the agents approaching his apartment on a doorbell camera. Part of a Child Pornography Task force. Officials are praising the two agents as heroes. It takes an incredibly special person to answer the call and do the heroic work of an f. B. I. Special agent. It requires selfsacrifice. It requires putting one self in harms way not once, but again and again. Both of these two agents were veterans of Child Pornography Investigations and both leave families behind. Alfin leaves a wife an one child. Schwartzenberger leaves a husband and two children. Bill another alert honoring the fallen hero. Lawmakers and family will gather to say their final goodbyes to officers Brian Sicknick killed in the capitol hill riots. Well watch that ceremony later this morning. Dana cdc says its safe to reopen schools. Where is President Bidens plan to do it and why is the mayor of chicago blaming President Trump . Bill gavin newsom sinking in the polls. We will talk to a man who wants to challenge the governor. If you want to have the insiders from one Political Party and the wellconnected constantly get what they want you have to keep electing the same people over and over and thats what we have in california.

Bill democrat newsom recall gaining steam as his popularity takes a hit over his response to the pandemic. So much is about the virus. Former Candidate John Cox Plans to Challenge Newsom if the Recall Efforts succeed. Thanks for getting up early. You arent alone in this. What we learned yesterday that the reason the recall was successful 18 years ago is because it caught democrats offguard and this time they believe they have been forewarned. Does that run against your efforts to try to make it successful . Not at all. Frankly, in 2003 the last recall the state was in a similar crisis. There were blackouts, there were high taxes, major problems and the governor bore the brunt of it. Another Career Politician like gray davis like gavin newsom. Now we have the same problem. Newsom has failed on the vaccine distribution, he has kept Small Businesses closed and crushed them. And he has kept our kids out of school and off their activities. Really destroying the mental and Emotional Health of our kids. I think the recall is going to be successful. I think the poll that came out yesterday had him at 45 . I was surprised it wasnt even lower because of the failures, the repeated failures. People are just sick of Career Politicians who just talk and practice politics and cater to the lobbyists like he did at the French Laundry dinner. Im a businessman. I built a business with delivering results with integrity. People want results. This recall will be successful. Dana let me ask you about the republicans who did very well relatively speaking in california in the general election last fall and 2020. They di
