senator ossoff. >> thank you, leader schumer. it's great to be alongside you, senator reverend warnock. the message today for georgia families is very simple. $8200 of additional federal financial relief to help see you and your kids to this pandemic will be included in the senate legislation that we're working to pass right now. $8200 for a family of four in georgia earning $75,000. senator reverend warnock and i were sending to fight for covid relief for the people of our state who have had to face extraordinary childcare costs, as schools have been closed, who have that huge medical bills during this health crisis, , who have seen loss of employment and severe financial distress. families have been facing eviction and foreclosure. we came here to deliver help for the people of georgia, and working with leader schumer and colleagues, senator reverend warnock and i are here to inform the people of georgia that we are working to advance this legislation which will deliver $8200 in additional federal relief in coming months for an

ossoff. i think we have an opportunity here, again, with the membership of this committee to do a lot of good for our country over the next couple of years. at the hearing today, we will be hearing from ms. tanden. i appreciated our telephone call last week, ms. tanden. as a former omb director, i know how incredibly important this role is. it's crucial that the director have a broad understanding, including of regulatory law and government management, since those are all responsibilities at omb. much like this committee, it has a broad swath of responsibilities, but you also in this job need to have a broad awareness of an array of policy issues that come before you because you have a coordinating role in so many of them. because of that coordinating role, it's imperative that the director can work productively both within the administration, across agencies, and with the white house, but also with members of congress on both sides of the aisle. cooperation across the aisle is especially imp

senators who lost to warnock and ossoff. we know that kemp could possibly be in trouble and facing a primary next year. same thing for the secretary of state and the lieutenant governor. >> let me ask you about marjory taylor greene. she apparently was able to do some serious fund raising after the calls for her to be expelled from congress. she says she raised more than $1.6 million after those calls began per your reporting. there's a state rep in georgia who introduced a resolution urging congresswoman greene to resign. can you put her in a little context for us? i think from the outside marjory taylor greene is getting a ton of attention understandably, but what is her actual role in the georgia congressional delegation? is she a player in the delegation right now? >> so she just got sworn into office on january 3rd, so i think it's a little bit early to know what her role is going to be in the delegation. i will say that because she's a trump loyalist who trump has even given her his approval, she's shared a stage with

senator ossoff. >> thank you, madam chair, thank you to our panel. i just to want take a moment and echo the sentiments of so many of my colleagues expressing appreciation for the men and women of the united states capitol police who endured a great deal on january 6th and showed great heroism. and also , madam chair, if i might express an interest in working with you to make sure they are well taken care of and their needs are met. this discussion of the conversation the three of you had regarding supplementry security support on january 6th raises the question of who is in charge. is consensus between the two sergeant-at-arms and the chief of the u.s. capitol police required to make such a request? mr. sund? >> the request for the national guard needs to go to the capitol police board for approval, yes. >> who has ultimate responsibility for the security of the u.s. capitol complex, which individual? >> i believe that falls under the capitol police board. >> the capitol police board. so there is no individual that has personal responsibility for th

he was a republican senator from georgia until a democrat beat his ossoff. see what i did?es that handed democrats control of the senate, the one term senator is already planning a come back, tweeting today he is considering a rerun in 2022, this time against raf aefl warnock, because to his way of thinking, senator ossoff and warnock do not represent georgia. there's just something about these two senators perdue doesn't like, i just can't put my finger on it. if perdue does run, sets up a race of the pastor from ebenezer baptist church and devote ee of wall street. he was a multimillionaire that profited, while playing down the threat, and trading that got nowhere near the scrutiny of game stop which broke the internet. as the senate's most prolific stock trader, he and other senators that include kelly loeffler of black lives don't matter fame raised eyebrows for stock trades made early in the pandemic, dumping company stocks, investing in others like dupont, a company that makes ppe, and pfizer. the justice department looked into perdue stock trades, investigators ultim

after that will be senator ossoff. if there's any other senators who wish to ask questions who haven't asked questions you should tell us, those are the last two we have. senator cruz. >> thank you, madam chair. and let me say to each of the witnesses here today, thank you for being hered thank you if your testimony. and thank you also for your service. i want to thank each of you and also each of the heroic law enforcement officers who demonstrated extraordinary courage in fighting to repel the terrorist attack that unfolded on the capitol on january 6th. and we are grateful for the bravery and the courage in the face of a truly horrific attack. in the aftermath of that attack there is naturally a process to assess what could have been done to better prevent that attack, to better secure the capitol. and i think everyone recognizes that hindsight is different from a decision made in the moment facing the threat immediately but this hearing is nonetheless productive for analyzing the security decisions and law enforcem

when ossoff beat david perdue, they were running for a full six-year term.s why ossoff is safe. at least until you get to middle school, bleak. that's when the midterms hit. as for that former david perdue, he made news by saying he will not be challenging warnock in 2022. in notes to his supporters, he went out of his way to proclaim georgia was not a blue state. you could have fooled me. never mind it sent two democrats to the senate. and according to an nbc news analysis of presidential election results, in every county in the country, three suburban atlanta counties saw the biggest increase in the share of democratic votes between 2008 and 2020. maybe that's why state republican lawmakers are setting their sights on georgia rights in georgia. we'll be keeping a close eye on georgia elections, but one could make mail-in voting ridiculously difficult and for now they eave backed down on a proposal for early sunday voting. ooh, child, they try us. it would be a clear attempt to suppress voters. thanks, again, bleak, for your wonderful question and the need

"hey, hey, look at this! did you know we're allowed to hold votes? ooh, heated power seats." it also means that senator chuck schumer will replace senator mitch mcconnell as majority leader. that ought to wipe the smile off of mcconnell's... face? can we check, jim? ( slide whistle ) the senate will actually be split 50-50, with vice president-elect kamala harris holding the tie-breaker thatine. so, essentially, harris is still going to be a senator. pretty on brand for america to elect their first woman vice president and make her do her old job, too. only pay her for one of them. all of this republican failure falls at the feet of the president. the georgia g.o.p. needed him to rally his base, but instead, he demonized the state's republican leaders and peddled baseless claims t

and, you know, warnock and ossoff have been clear that they believe this is what should happen.got to show people that when democrats control the house, the senate, and the white house, that we will deliver relief, relief that people can feel, literally feel, like, oh, my gosh. my government is working for me. they are helping me. so that's what we're working on. and so far, so good. we preserved the thresholds for the survival checks, and we've preserved $15 in the bill, and i really believe that we can get it through. and we shouldn't -- we should not cave to, you know, one or two people that are worried about going big. we have to deliver for the people. that's what we promised. we got to keep those promises. >> so lighet's do this. obviously you're going to have the trial as an interrupt on the senate side. after it, this will begin in earnest. you're welcome back on the show regular time, and we'll discuss what the state of play is and what you think is right and wrong about it. you made it through the 6th. you can make it through anything. >> absolutely i can, chris. we're

that should have happened two weeks ago after georgia's newest senators, raphael warnock and jon ossoffin. but, of course, mitch mcconnell, in a final power play before shrinking back into his shell as the minority leader held up the procedure hoping he could extort concessions to weaken the democrats' hand. that failed. and now democrats can move forward in cleaning up the mess of the past four years and getting to work for the american people. with me now is senator raphael warnock of the great state of georgia. senator, thank you so much for being here. let's talk about what you are going to be able to accomplish now that democrats finally have the majority. you're on agriculture, banking, commerce science and transportation, the joint economic committee and a committee on aging. what's your priority and what do you think you can get done quickly? >> well, thank you so much, joy. it's great to be here again with you. you know, as i stand here in the rotunda of the capitol, i can't help but think about the fact that it wasn't that long ago that i came to this very rotunda as an activi

even president trump was demanding before he left office and senators like raphael warnock and jon ossoffampaigned on. will everyone was eligible for previous covid relief payments still be eligible for these next ones, or will democrats cut a bunch of middle class people off from those covid relief checks? in previous relief agreed to by democrats and republicans, the income threshold for getting covid relief was $75,000. anybody who's making $75,000 a year or less got a covid relief check. if they drop that threshold a lot, drop it down to $50,000, that would mean there are something like 40 million american who is got checks last time who went get them again. and why would democrats want to do that? i mean, to be blunt about it, democrats are planning on campaigning against republicans who vote against this thing. they're planning on campaigning against republicans who vote against this thing by saying, hey, look, the republicans busted the budget to give tax breaks to the richest in the country, but when it came time to give out covid relief, they stiffed you. that's what democrats wa

president trump did that allowed those two georgia ats to flip to the two democrats, warnock and ossoffwants that majority back. that is why i think we saw him on the one hand vote for the acquittal of donald trump, but then, after that vote, excoriate donald trump, lay the blame right at his feet. in doing that, what i think mitch mcconnell is doing is creating an environment for his caucus and republicans running for the senate in 2022, 2024, giving them the room to run races that would give them the best chance at winning. when it comes to donald trump, it is all about him, not the party. it is not about policy. it is about loyalty to him. if you're mitch mcconnell, and you are about power, but you're also about doing things that advance the republican party, you're going to do whatever it takes to push trump to the side and make it possible for those candidates to come to the fore. judy: davidwho's got more muscle, mitch mcconnell or donald trump? and i do want to ask you both about rush limbaugh, but mcconnell first. david: i questioned mcconnell's strategy last saturday, doing tha

you had several different senators including jon ossoff there at the end questioning about why wasn't this sort of thing drilled, why wasn't this practiced for, why wasn't this the kind of thing you even considered to be possible. earlier senator lankford quoted from, he said a capitol police officer, whom he had spoken to, said once these folk were inside the building in large numbers, all the training we have doesn't go that far. it doesn't deal to do with large groups inside the capitol kind of in this massive spread-out way. those are the kind of issues that the capitol police under their new leadership are going to have to address i would think fairly quickly. it would be interesting to hear from the current acting capitol police chief. this was mostly former officials today. and none of them have been very forthcoming about the training and sort of tactical issues they say for a security basis. but there's going to be a lot more questions i think need to be delved into on those kind of tactical deployment issues, too. >> clint, on the failure of imagination, as garrett was just

that senate -- excuse me, senate democrats were able to win the majority because both warnock and ossoffpaigned on getting those stimulus relief checks to americans as quickly as possible. but i want you to take a listen to what he said in his latest interview with cbs, where he very much talked about where he's willing to negotiate with republicans to make sure that those stimulus bills are very much targeted to certain income wage earners. take a listen. >> middle class folks need help, but you don't need to get any help to someone making $300,000 or $250,000. so it's somewhere in between an individual making up to $75 and phasing out and a couple making up to $150 and phasing out. but, again, i'm wide open on what that is. >> so you hear him there talking about specifically who should be earning that money, even though they will directly make targeting point at some point when they continue these negotiations again. however, he has said that $15 minimum wage proposal he pitched likely won't be in this bill. to answer your question on timing, of course, they have to now congress has to

the biden plan wasn't actually $2,000, because that was the rhetoric of the campaign from both jon ossoffreverend warnock as they were campaigning for those two georgia seats. that was the promise, $1400 is the absolute minimum he is willing to make, and as we discussed earlier, he is willing to talk about making sure that the very affluent, those perhaps who would save that money, anyway, and wouldn't spend it, won't get those checks. but i think the speech earlier today was the most force fortuforceful he has in going against this idea of compromising republicans and sacrificing his product to get bipartisanship votes on this package. and i think it really shows that not only are house and senate democrats preparing to move ahead without republicans, but president biden really is as well. >> and that's the interesting point. this is day 17, phil mattingly, so you're watching a new president, you're watching leadership style, you're watching his dna is bipartisanship, but his immediate challenge is go big and do it as soon as possible, and you see him giving up his history, if you will,

i think that is a big liability for democrats, you know, in georgia both democratic senators jon ossoff raphael warnock campaigned on getting those $2,000 stimulus checks. they want to be able to go back to their constituents and say i delivered on my promise. and i think these income thresholds are a big problem because, again, $50,000 in a lot of cities in america is not rich. it is barely making due. >> those are just some of the numbers that are floating around. you also have senior democrats unveiling a proposal to provide a $3,000 benefit per child to millions of families earning less than $75,000 per year individually or less than $150,000 jointly. look, you know better than anyone. there is the policy, itself, and then there is how you communicate around that policy. how did democrats need to be talking about something like these stimulus checks? how do they need to be talking about something like this child credit? >> well, the way for them to talk about it successfully is get a notification on your phone your direct deposit has just received a $1400 stimulus check or $2,000. e

jon ossoff won't be on the ballot for a while but reverend raphael warnock filled out the rest of johnny we've heard everyone from former senator david perdue and kelly loeffler challenging him to a whole host of trump-aligned candidates aiming to get into that ring so that seat in georgia as well as other seats around the country will be heavy targets for both sides of the aisle to try to wrest control of the senate. >> it gives you an idea that trumpism is strong there in georgia. your new district attorney has been on the job six weeks. what are you hearing from people about this bold first order of business here? >> you know, she has some big and controversial shoes to fill. her predecessor, paul howard, had some controversy about some investigations into finance use and also his decision to charge police officers in a shooting and death of a black man as well as arrests of protests over the summer, so there's a lot of eyes looking at what she's doing. this is a way for her to make a name for herself, but also to provide closure that a lot of democrats across the country are certainl

will tell you polls like that one and what happened in georgia where both raphael warnock and jon ossoff won their races and this is at the heart of the debate down there, this gives president biden the mandate to act right now but we heard biden that he wants the unity. white house said that doesn't mean republican senators will be on board but it sure means the majority of americans believe this is the route forward. as you hear republicans, there is a deep division there between the republicans' view and this white house's view after two or $4 trillion in the course of five previous covid relief packages. they are opposed to anything close to $2 trillion additionally. the best counterproposal roughly $600 billion at this point. for president biden that's a non-starter. he's not conceding any significant ground. among the possible places for wiggle room i would watch, and we've heard from the white house and from this president speaking to democrats on that $1,400 of direct payments, that that number could be a bit more targeted. it doesn't sound like it will go down but maybe to a sma

we saw that pay, electoral dividends in georgia's senate race, that's how jon ossoff and reverend warnock were elected, a huge part of why democrats have a majority now in the senate. so this will be debated in the house, and then moved to the senate. remember, if the senate makes changes there once the house passes the bill it goes right back. that march 14th deadline where some of those jobless benefits expire, the clock is ticking on that. politically, though, we laid out just now though why democrats want to push forward on this. i do want to point out something mitch mcconnell said in the "wall street journal," he said that things like opposing biden's $1.9 trillion bill will help unify our party. i don't think many republicans are going to be for many of the things coming out of this administration. they're in a tug of war between the trump part of the party and the other part of the party that wants to move away from him. interesting to see how this plays out on capitol hill and on the campaign trail. >> opposing the bill will -- take us to washington, we've got a story out on nbc

. >> another person who may run in '22 former georgia senator david perdue, lost to democrat jon ossoffoff, now perdue has filed to take on georgia's other new democratic senator raphael war nof. he came close in november and how worried should senator warnock be? >> senator war knock, the historic senator warnock should focus on, is what his legacy is. what does he need to accomplish in the united states senate. where have there been shortcomings because the south has not had a black senator since reconstruction. where does he need to show up and how can he perform in committee and vote in the interest of georgians and the whole of america. the best way for him to run against senator perdue or senator perdue to run against him is with the stealth record and what we know is that senator perdue did not serve georgians well while he was elected. >> this may feel or sound a little too soon, but if it's going to change it needs to happen early, the idea that that iowa goes first in our caucuses and primary system. "the new york times" recently asked former dnc chairman perez whether he thin

after losing his senate re-election campaign to jon ossoff he began publicly considering running againt senator raphael warnock. and now purdue has announced that he's giving up on that dream. senator warnock said, i am prepared to defeat whatever republican they come up with. georgia republicans are pushing forward legislation to restrict georgians' ability to vote, today approving a bill requiring more identification for absentee voting, the first elections bill to clear either legislative chamber. in texas, democrats have released a 2020 election postmortem report that outlines their path to future election victories. according to "the washington post," that analysis says -- concludes that with a beefed-up voter registration program, democrats can turn the state blue by 2024. stacey abrams and her former campaign manager argued in a recent "new york times" op-ed that any state can turn blue, writing particularly those in the sun belt where demographic change will precede electoral opportunity. joining us now is the ceo of fair fight action. she managed stacey abrams' campaign for go
