The president of the United States in the oval office with key democratic senators. The president saying full speed ahead when it comes to a big, and he wants a very big covid relief package. Lets listen. Great. I said welcome all home. This is your new home for a while anyway. And it was a little bit of luck, the grace of god and the good will of the neighbors that its going to be longer than just four years. I think well get some republicans. Thank you, guys. Thank you. Come back in a moment, a little joke or not joke. The president made at the top of the conversation well come back to that. But the meeting there with Senate Democrats coming after a couple hours after the president called a meeting with house democrats. Again the message was the same, full speed ahead when it comes to a big covid relief package. Our chief Congressional Correspondent manu raju has information on that. I have the audio of joe biden speaking to house democrats. He made clear that they are going to go big on this push. He said he did not want to sacrifice what he has been promising the American Public during the campaign. He said he would not turn back on his plan to pass a major covid relief package. He implored democrats to stay united. But he also, john, indicated hes willing to pair back the Stimulus Checks that are at 1,400 under the plan in order to more target those to people who need it the most, while making clear he wants the democrats to be on his side. Take a listen. This package gets money into the pockets. We cant walk away from an additional 1,400 in direct checks we proposed because people need it. Frankly, theyve been promised it. Maybe we can i think we can better target the number. Im okay with that. But were going to start im not going to start my administration by breaking my promise to the American People. I dont think the problem is that were going to go too big to deal with this crisis. The problem is were going to go too small. Yeah. And that last point, that point that he made about better targeting the Stimulus Checks could be important in the United States senate where some centhist democrats, mainly joe manchin of West Virginia has raised concerns that people who make perhaps 300,000 a year or families that they could get those checks, perhaps they can narrow those Stimulus Checks in the proposal and win over the support of critical senators like joe manchin. And also, john, he went on to say that democrats have narrow majorities in the house and the senate. He said lets stick together. He also said that each one of us, weve seen these tough midterm losses that happened in the first midterm of the president. But he said we are going to succeed or fail together. So pretty stark language there from the president to his party. John . Pretty smart language in the sense that democratic discipline will be absolutely critical to the biden agenda Going Forward. Stay with us if you can, manu. I want to bring in dana bash and the bureau chief of the daily beast. President biden thought it was important to do this meeting. But today first you call house democrats, lets stick together, yours. Then you bring the new Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer and key democratic chairwoman to the oval office. We will do this with all democratic votes and if republicans come along in the end, great, but lets not wait. Thats exactly right. Look, he made a downpayment in the relationship that he promised he would have with republicans in that monday evening meeting. He didnt go in there saying im going to somehow kind a compromise between 1. 9 trillion and 600 billion. That was never on the table. But what were seeing today is real negotiation. And its real negotiation among and within the democratic party. Thats how he needs to get this done. Because the margins are so narrow in the house but especially the senate, manu mentioned joe manchin. Hes talking about making some changes like targeting the Stimulus Checks really focusing on those who need them. And, you know, that might be a republican idea, but its also a necessity if he wants to get some moderate democrats like joe manchin. So right now that is the name of the game, making sure that they have all of the democrats on board because there is literally not room to lose even one senator. And night and day, jackie. Number one, its important to listen to the new president say im not going to break a promise. He promised during the election. And after biden promised big and won the election then they won both Georgia Senate races, republicans saying dont give joe biden a blank check. So he believes he has the American People on his side. But its striking he has now called into the senate luncheon, called into house democrats, brought republicans to the white house, and brought democrats to the white house. We only saw congressional leaders meeting with President Trump when it was a crisis, when the train was about to go off the tracks and they had to have a meeting. This is a very different president. The republicans during the trump years often said its better if the president stays out of the negotiations because he only messes them up. This is a new day. That was a different president because you couldnt tell what trump was going to do the next day. He might say one thing to one group of people and then end up tweeting something else. So it is, as you said, completely night and day. And while joe biden is meeting with all of these groups, he has really tried to assure democrats that hes not going to give away the store in the recording that manu was talking about, he said specifically that the republican bill is not in the cards. Because, remember, during the campaign, during the president ial campaign, particularly during the primary, there was concern that biden would perhaps work with republicans in a way that would be detrimental to democratic priorities. And so by this first push, by this first giant piece of legislation that hes helping to bring everyone together and shepherd through, it appears that hes trying to show them, no, were going to do it with or without republicans. They can join if they want. But if not, were going to plow ahead no matter what. And, manu, what does this do to the timetable . There had been this question of if youre going to get into long negotiations with republicans would take over, the president making clear democrats go full speed ahead. If republicans come along in the end maybe we will make some changes, great, but move ahead. Plus, Chuck Schumer now is clearly the majority leader and the democrats now that they have this Organizing Agreement in the senate get the committee after this sort of twoweek only In Washington delay after the inauguration. So how much does that affect the timetable . Well, the the end of the month or early march. So theres no harm for joe biden to have negotiations talk with republicans, see if it goes anywhere. Because its going to take time for the process to play out in the house and the senate because theyre planning on using the Budget Process that essentially allows them to pass legislation without republican support in the senate. And there is a twostep process, the first step is happening this week. Theyre trying to pass a nonbinding budget blueprint. That will trigger their efforts to pass the legislation without republican support. So that process takes a few weeks. In the meantime, bidens going to have these conversations if they go anywhere near what hes talking about 1. 9 trillion perhaps theyll think about something different. But at the moment theyre Going Forward without republican support. Its going to probably get done by the end of this month or early next month. And then the question will be can they keep the party united particularly in the senate where theyre going to need all 50 democrats if no republicans join them. Will be fascinating to watch it play out. Stay with us. When we come back its a big day for republicans too, especially House Republicans.

House republicans meet today and, put simply, they are a mess. One topic for discussion is liz cheneys job. She voted to impeach donald trump, and many of the former president s supporters among House Republicans want cheney punished. The second big family feud is very much related to the first. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor green is among the most vocal Trump Supporters in the house. She is also a Conspiracy Theorist with a history of antisemitism, racism, and supporting violence against political opponents. Democrats say taylor green has no place in the congress, and they vow to strip her of Committee Assignments if republicans dont clean up their own mess. But, congresswoman green says she will not voluntarily stand down from her committees, and the republican leader, Kevin Mccarthy, so far unwilling to take a stand on his own. So a House Republican committee that helped settle Committee Slots is now handling this question that House Republicans are under the spell of donald trump and the Qanon Conspiracy. Back with us cnns manu raju. This is a republican mess, the House Democratic majority leader though stanny hoyer is involved in the conversation because he says if democrats dont clean it up, republicans are ready to act tomorrow. A statement that just came out from House Majority leader steny hoyer says that the democrats are planning to move forward to strip Marjorie Taylor green from her Committee Assignments both in the House Education Committee and house budget committee. This after hoyer and Kevin Mccarthy had a conversation this morning. It did not turn out that they reached any sort of an agreement. Im told heading into that meeting Kevin Mccarthy wanted to see if he could head off this floor vote and see if they could come to, to some sort of resolution. They had discussed a variety of options about whether they can punish her in other way, maybe just take her off the education committee, given the Conspiracy Theories that she said before she was a member of congress about the Parklandmass Kaer in 2018 being a false flag, obviously that is 100 not true, and that has caused alarm on all corners here on capitol hill. But republicans are grappling with how to deal with that, contending that its not necessarily appropriate to move ahead and punish a member for things they said before they were a member of congress. Thats how they were thinking about it and debating what to do behind the scenes last night. They took it to steny hoyer this morning. He said, no, she needs to be punished the same way that steve king the former iowa congressman was punished after his racist comments came to light in the last congress. At that time, john, remember, he was stripped from his committee soimts. Hoyer and the democrats want green to be stripped from her Committee Assignments. And the if the republicans dont ultimately make a decision today, then they will tomorrow to strip her from those spots. One in which democrats say they have no choice but republicans are warning about the precedent it would set, john. A warning about the precedent, dana and jackie, but at the same time this is a mess of their own making. Again, you can get the idea that nobodys perfect, maybe she said one or two things before she came to congress if she were contrite, if she would say ive learned a lesson, thats one thing. She says she will not apologize. She has backed off a little bit on the School Shootings under pressure. B
