Even how many hamburgers you can eat. They want to defund the police and take away Second Amendment rights. They want Free Health Care for illegal immigrants. Yet they offer no protection for unborn americans. They want to pack the Supreme Court with liberals. Thiswant to codify all of by making the swamp itself, washington, d. C. Americas 51st state. With two more liberal senators, we cannot undo the damage they have done. Democratsderstand why spent an entire week telling us about who joe biden is, not what he intends to do. I am immensely proud of the work the Republican Senate has done. We are the firewall against nest Nancy Pelosis agenda. We will not be bullied by a liberal media intent on destroying americas institutions. We will stand our post on behalf of millions of americans whose stories are told in americas newspapers whose struggles are just as real. We will continue to support American Families as we defeat the coronavirus and return our economy to the envy of the world.
Away. Theres also movement this afternoon on pandemic relief. Despite a twohour meeting in the Oval Office Last night on the president s plan and a much smaller republican counteroffer Congressional Democrats are now moving to fast track their 1. 9 trillion package. We have so much more on what that means for struggling americans in just a moment, but, first, lets Dig A Little Deeper on this legal response filed by the former president s attorneys. Our cnn chief domestic correspondent jim acosta is live with me this afternoon. Jim, this all goes down one week from today. What will we be hearing from team trump . Well, what youre going to be hearing, brooke, is part of what you just said a few moments ago, constitutionally they will argue that the president cant be convicted at the senate trial after leaving office as president , but they are also going to say that the president s comments on january 6th, that rally on the ellipse just before the riot that took place at the Capitol Fall
Because they dont know who is a citizen without the virus and who is a citizen with the virus. The most basic decisions have become a distraction across the country as americans have become afraid of a stranger and of a friend. This is a huge shift in where we are as a country. And what this demands is immediate action. Three weeks ago this senate and the house passed 8. 3 billion, and we did it with overwhelming bipartisan support to be able to add additional funding for diagnostics, for testing and for rapid work on a vaccine. All of that work is advancing quickly. We have human trials in a vaccine happening right now. Weight came together and there werent extra things added to it we focus in on the virus. Theres no question theres lots of moments to be able to debate the things we disagree on. But this is a moment we understand to focus in on what is the problem. The problem is zealing with covid19. There was a bipartisan bill put together in the senate. A week ago today, senator sc
105 in iowa, that is a lot for us. Just a couple of hours ago i was on a call with iowa state leaders who are at the state Emergency Operations center. Let me say that again. Emergency operations center, an e. O. C. You just dont set those up for fun, folks. You set them up when your state is in crisis.

You know what would relieve their hurt . This package, phase three. Meanwhile my democratic colleagues are holding this bill up that would actually deliver the relief that is necessary for these workers that i just mentioned for things that have nothing to do with a crisis. Senate democrats are stalling funding for hospitals and Small Businesses until they get to jam through their Green New Deal. Mr. President , you tell me
