Prepare to work through the weekend, work through the night. Carry it in to next week. Good golly they expect twin packages. One to keep the government lights on and the other to keep the covid relief coming. Welcome, everybody. Happy friday. Im neil cavuto, this is your world. The world of questions about whether we are going to get that relief. Everyone seems to say its no longer a matter of if but when. Waiting for the when has been the hard part here.

The backdrop is yet another promising vaccine that could make it to the American People in 24 hours. Right now, i can not say the same about this covid19 relief.

clashed with the official government proclamations. martha: doesn t sound like the united states or the democracy that this country was founded on, does it? it s really crazy. part of the reason that they did it is this is clear in the papers. we have discovery documents. the b.b.c. organized it. in truth, the real competitors are the thousands of new news organizations that have sprouted up like mushrooms on the internet that are destroying our business model. martha: it s a loss of control. right. we need to choke them off. the way to do that is by deplatforming any of these organizations that doesn t follow our story. we re suing them on the sherman antitrust act. you saw hakeem jefferys there. he came after you forcefully. they re suggesting that you are
we re not in the negotiations. i can hasten to add that hakeem jefferys thought it would be a good thought to entertain tax increases. there you have about 20 minutes later, kevin mccarthy saying tax increases are not something that we re looking to do no bridge over that dyke. let s get the read again on all of this back with franchesca chambers, lee carter. that s one area where the two are far apart. even when it comes to hakeem jefferys putting his weight behind some spending freeze. we don t know how long, how much. he s open to it. that is earning the wrath of some conservatives. the pound of flesh and something
