impeached? it s way too early for this. good morning! and welcome to way too early, the show that sends big props to all the tech folks behind the scenes here who had a very busy start to their day at 30 rock. thank you, guys, for getting us on the air this morning. i am kasie hunt on this thursday, march 11th. we will start with the news. in a major legislative win for president biden, the house passed the massive $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill. the final vote was 220-211, mostly along party lines. one democrat, congressman jared golden of maine, joined all republicans in voting against the bill. democrats erupted in applause after the roll call. on this vote, the yeas are 220, the nays are 211. the motion is adopted. the white house also posted this video of president biden and vice president kamala harris applauding as the bill was passed. president biden said he ll sign it tomorrow. this bill represents an historic, historic victory for the american peo
meghan markle s explosive interview with oprah. so what is next the queen and the royal family? it is way too early for this. good morning and welcome to way too early oig, the show that know that when grandma talks, you better listen. the house is expected to vote today on president biden s $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package. debate on the bill scheduled to begin just after 9:00 a.m., timing of the final vote is fluid given that republicans may try to slow the process. house democrats aim to get the bill to president biden s desk so he can sign it before key unemployment programs expire this coming sunday. it can take days for congress to formally send a huge bill down the street to the white house. once biden has signed it, the money can start flowing including those $1400 relief payments for eligible americans, $300 a week federal jobless benefits and those additional funds for vaccine distribution. new polling from the pew research center continues to show just ho

the question is, how will the biden administration handle it? it s way too early for this. good morning! and welcome to way too early, the show that knows some very, very happy grandparents this morning. i am kasie hunt on this tuesday, march 9th. we ll start with the news. the cdc has released new guidelines for those who are fully vaccinated, offering hope that life could soon return to normal. we ve been through a lot this past year, and with more and more people getting vaccinated each day, we are starting to turn a corner. fully vaccinated people can visit with other fully vaccinated people indoors without wearing a mask or physical distancing. visit with unvaccinated people from a single household who are at low risk of severe covid-19 disease indoors without wearing masks or physical distancing. and refrain from quarantine and testing following a known covid-19 exposure if the vaccinated person remains asymptomatic. however, the cdc continues to recommend tha
fully vaccinated, but that is only 9.4% of the entire population so obviously miles to go until we reach herd immunity. also potential fallout today from oprah winfrey s interview with prince harry and meghan markle. the couple accusing the royal family of blatant racism, lack of support and yanking their security protection. meghan there even revealing there were conversations, concerns about baby archie s skin color, she says, before he was born. more on the pressure buck hamm palace is now facing, but, first, let s get a update on the stimulus checks with cnn s jessica dean live on capitol hill. jessica, we were expecting the house vote tomorrow. it s been delayed a day. do you know why? reporter: yeah. right now, brooke, our explanation from one senior democratic aide is simply this is a giant bill, and it needs some time to process its way through the system. they are working on getting all that paperwork back over to the house and then it needs to go through the rules
