We need to go big. And if we waste some money now, we waste some money. Absolutely we have too many people hurting and the economy is going to sputter and weve got to get ourselves out of this mess. And this is the way we need to go right now. Let me tell you something, that man has a future in Northwest Florida politics. I like him. Or West Virginia. Mika, thats interesting. Thats from the republican governor of a state that donald trump got 69 in. Jim justice, governor of West Virginia, urging congress to go big on covid19 relief. Good morning. Welcome to morning joe. It is tuesday, february 2nd. We have columnist and Associate Editor for the Washington Post, david ignatius. Back with us, capitol hill correspondent and host of way too early, kasie hunt. And it seems more and more likely that democrats will push through the Biden Administrations nearly 2 trillion Economic Relief package with or without republicans. The president met with a group of Senate Republicans for about two hou
House correspondent, Weekend Today cohost Peter Alexander, Garrett Haake on capitol hill, brendan buck, former Senior Adviser to house speakers paul ryan and john boehner, and former Maryland Democratic congresswoman Debra Everets and former senator claire mccaskill. Peter first to you. Lets start with the covid Relief Package. The white house releasing a statement after that monday meaning with republicans saying the president is open to reconciliation, but the republicans are in the conversation. So where do we stand . Are democrats on the Progressive Side getting nervous hell compromise too much, or are all saying hell go big even if it means going it alone . Reporter when everybody was said and done last night, it was clear President Biden, this white house wasnt really giving much ground here. They say that the meeting was substantive and productive but at the end of the day he said they had to meet this moment. The decision is whether to go big and go it alone or scale back this
around 0.32%. some reprieve, but will it last? rebecca babin is a senior energy trader at cibc private wealth. she gave me her predictions. i think the concern right now is really kind of concentrated on the longer shipping time. the market is not pricing in that we actually lose barrels from the market as a result of what is happening in the suez canal. what it is concerned with right now and the reason it has risen 6% is because the shipping costs associated with travelling around the southern tip of africa to reach its destination adds around 15 days of travel time. it increases freight costs. and it has increased insurance costs. so that is what the market is pricing in and looking at at this point. the market has not entered a panic mode, as we have seen in the past with other geopolitical events, where it starts to price in supply is lost from the market. right now it is a logistical rerouting, what we re seeing, and not kind of that panic and fear that we re going t
