Their roles. The decision could change the direction of the party as we know it. Lets begin with jessica dean who joins us on the hill with more on this Power Sharing Agreement. Reporter the big thing here is democrats will now take control of the senate committees. When youre in control, youre setting the agenda. That means thing in joe bidens agenda that they wanted to get ahead, President Bidens agenda they wanted to push ahead like Merrick Garlands nomination for Attorney General can now move forward. Youll remember there has been a holdup on some of these nominees including Merrick Garland who is the nominee to be Attorney General because republicans maintained control of these committees, because they had to operate off the last congress because they didnt have this agreement in place. Now that democrats will take over these committees, that means democrats are going to have a much easier time getting things on the table. Theyre going to hold control. We expect now that someone l
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
Although i do acknowledge that the garden state punches way above its weight when it comes to political scandals. [indistinct conversations] in 2004, the democratic governor of new jersey, Jim Mcgreevey, stepped into a press room just like this and became an Overnight Sensation when he admitted to a gay affair and resigned in the same speech. A governor coming out of the closet was genuinely shocking, a careerkiller at that time. Looking back, though, i cant help but feel that we were also quick to embrace the headline that we may have forgotten to dig a little deeper, because the reason why Jim Mcgreevey resigned is a lot more complicated than we remember. Ah, new jersey americas communal jacuzzi, or cesspool, depending on who you ask. [glass shatters] a land with its own unique culture and customs and a Political Landscape than can be rather. Shall we say, in your face. Youre done. Its 4 30. Youve maximized your tan. Get off the beach. New jersey is a roughandtumble place, man, you k

Up Way Too Early on this thursday morning. Well have coverage of the State Of The Union tonight. Morning joe starts right now. January 6th was a disgrace. American citizens attacked their own government. They used terrorism to try to stop a specific piece of Domestic Business they didnt not like. Fellow americans beat and bloodied our own police. They stormed the senate floor. They tried to hunt down the speaker of the house. They built a gallows and chanted about murdering the vice president. They did this because theyd been Fed Wild Falsehoods by the most powerful man on earth. Because he was angry and lost an election. Former President Trumps actions preceded the riot for a disgraceful, disgraceful dereliction of duty. Therefore, i am endorsing donald j. Trump. You know, the one thing we cut off there, and maybe its not fair to mitch, is that at the end of it, right after that, he broke into a rousing tune, had a band, happy days are here again. It was like the 32 convention. I coul
