they can either decide to get up any of our team has spoken to, to an $8,000 tax credit for goes along with that they see testing as a way out of child care for a middle-class family with a this mess we're in that's been the focus of some of couple young kids spenting $300 a week a child care, that's an the calls, with chairpeople annual savings of $8,000 on meeting with the white house their pocket emissaries, and now the it's a tax credit. president's chief of staff and it means everything for working treasury secretary are in that families living paycheck to all-republican senators lunch that happens every week. paycheck i'm told there's been no real or the federal government would send funding to states, which agreement on anything yet. then work with childcare we're still in the listening phase. this is going to be a long providers to cover the cost for process to get to a deal. working families with young >> garrett, what about the expansion or the extension of children, over 7% of their that unemployment insurance, income would not have to be that $600 runs out in just a spent. so say both parents are working couple days. >> this is another tricky one. and need child care. you go to childcare.gov created house and senate republicans very much want to see that extended done away with. they think it's a barrier to under the obama/biden administration, to find care getting people back to work. depends what we may end up -- >> garrett, i'm sorry to that works for you interrupt, but here comes joe it takes you to your state,

people test positive than the caring it keeps seniors in their home day before it's a triple win if they choose each day too many american that workers are still out of work and recognize the realities and losing hope. it's been reported by the facing modern families and provides the much-needed economic support in the middle president's staff that the president is, quote, not really of a pandemic. working this anymore just imagine, if we can put 3 he doesn't want to be distracted by it. million americans to work in new care and early childhood he doesn't want to be distracted by it. education, and combined with my his own staff admits that proposal to provide families donald trump fails the most with up to 12 weeks of paid important test of being an family leave and medical leave, american president -- the duty we could free up millions more to care for you, for all of us people to join the paid labor force, increasing economic you know, it's also very important that he'll block any funding for more testing and growth at least 2 million additional tracing in the next covid relief jobs, more economic growth for the nation this is a fresh, bold way to bill that's being discussed right now on the floor of the build a critical part of the united states congress, just as labor force and help us recover states report record cases, hospitalizations, and deaths faster and stronger. continue to rise we usually talk about jobs this man simply doesn't packages there's a big push on

understand he can't deal with our economic shovel-ready jobs. i'm the guys you may remember crisis without serving, saving and solving the public health managed the recovery act of $800-plus billion dollars. crisis for all his bluster about his i focused on shovel-ready job expertise on the economy, he's jobs, but that's what care jobs unable to explain how he'll help are. they are shovel ready. the working families, hit the the workers are ready now. these jobs can be filled now harde hardest. he's quit on you, and quit on this country but this election is not just about him. it's about us, it's about you, million of people, primarily it's about what we'll do, what a women, to get back to work now president is supposed to do. it's the right thing to do for a president is supposed to care, our families and our most to lead, to take responsibility, essential workers. it's a smart thing to do for our to never give up that's what presidents are economy. today millions of our people supposed to do can't fully pursue the jobs and over the last two weeks i've careers they dream of, due to shared my agenda for economic the caregiving squeeze recovery i call it build back better, that means tens of billions less because we can't build back to the way things were before in wages each year for our we have to do it better. working families the first plank of my build back it means more disruption for our better plan rejects the business, fewer jobs and growth

defeatist view that automation in our economy, slow and globalization, that we can't this is both a moral and an economic imperative for the assure that workersic late to a nation, in my opinion. future made in america however we pay for it is by made in america. rolling back unprotective tax the second plank tells us how to cuts some of the $2 trillion tax cuts that the president put through, out-compete the rest of the world and tackle climate change. closing loopholes, unprotective put millions of americans to work in good union jobs while tax cuts for high-income real building a clean energy future estate investor while ensuring increasing jobs. the today i'm outlining the high earners pay their tax third plank in my build back bills. better program -- mobilizing a that would be $175 billion over 21st century care and elderly ten years. we invest that in building our economy back better than it was before, growing the economy childhood education workforce, to deal with the caregiving stronger tomorrow i'll be joining a crisis in this country virtual town hall with seiu if we truly want to reward work in this country, we have to ease members, home care, fast food the financial burden of care workers, janitors, to hear directly from them about why that families are carrying this matters so much to them you see, this is about something we have to elevate the bigger

this is about dignity and compensation of those providing the care, the benefits and respect for working people that's precisely what this dignity of caregiving workers election is all about -- dignity and early childhood educators. and respect. even before the pandemic, the american people know they're millions of families were faced not being afforded dignity and with enormous strains trying to respect through many of their raise their kids and care for jobs the american president has a duty to care for all of us, to parents or loved ones who live with disabilities. this is the so-called sandwich see people where they are, to understand what they're going genuation, including an 18-year-old daughter carrying through and what they want to for her mom who suddenly gets sick to a 40-year-old dad be as many of you know, i was a raising his child and caring for single parent for five years after my wife and daughter were killed and my two boys were his own aging parents. the joy and love are always badly injured. even though i had a lot more will, but it's hard. support than a lot of people i know, it's hard. it's really, really hard going through tough times today, families are squeezed it was hard. it was hard. if i didn't have my mom, my emotionally and financially. they need help sister, my brother, i don't know but too often they can't afford it the professional caregivers out how i had been able to afford there, the home health care it

workers, child care workers are then six years later when jill and i got married, i saw how more often women, women of color difficult it was for her to and immigrants, are too often start her teaching career by being a new mom with two kids in underpaid, unseen, and undervalued. the pandemic hits and squeezes school actually, they weren't in school and tightens on everybody. yet, now that i think about it we cared for our parents at the end. my dad was months in hospice in nursing homes have been hit hard if you're a frontline worker, our home you struggle to find safe same with my mom our entire family was there for childcare for your kids. other become unexpected 24/7 our son beau when he came home caregivers, trying to keep your children safe and learning, while you continue to work from iraq, where the cancer remotely from home if you had to put your career on wasn't whether he would live, but how long he would live hold indefinitely or senior we know what it's like hourcub lost months upon months we know so many of you are going the confusion only makes things worse. through the same thing without you know, in the last few the kind of help i had, but now months, it's only underscored how vital it is for families and everything, everything feels older americans to have more home care and community care, different. there's just that feeling, that

choices that fit the real needs. you know, we're trapped in a sense, when you just don't know if everything is going to turn out okay caregiving crisis within an i'm here to tell you that it can economic crisis, onewithin a be, and it will be up. healthcare crisis. you're doing everything you can, you know, my dad was an but this president is not. if i'm your president, here is honorable decent man what i would do. his great regret is he never got first, let's start by caring for to go to college aging relatives and young onesw. my dad, like many of your parents, got knocked down a few times, but he always got back here's800,000 up he worked hard to build a great people who are eligible for home and community care through middle-class life for our family but he used to have a saying medicaid, who have already signed up for it, but they're he would say, joey, i don't waiting for a phone call expect the go. a phone call back. to solve my problems, but i sure for some the wait is five years. as hell expect them to understand my problem. five years my plan makes a bold investment i understand, to my very core, so states can clear the ake sure and i also know that together we financial burden major innovati can do this.

this is america. we don't settle. we aspire, and we succeed. so let's get the heck up and get it done. let's get to work. my grandpa said this many times, when my dad lost his job every time we would say, joey, keep the faith my grandma would go, no, joey, spread it. let's spread the faith there's not a single thing we cannot do. thank you for listening. i look forward to your questions at another time. i'm off to another event thank you, principal thank you, senator that was the former vice president presumptive democratic nominee laying out his plan for family care.

when you think about it, not just child care, but dealing with what is happening to a lot of the, as he described it, those that are sandwiched in there with both child care sures. joining us from the site of the speech is nbc news correspondent mike memoli. mike, listens to the last few minutes of the speech in particular, you know, you talk to our policies teshs, and they will tell you, you know, there's one question we throw out there -- which one of these candidates cares about people like me? it lets you know what the public thinking, who is in touch with whom, right? and donald trump beat hillary clinton on those scores with lots of folks i felt like listening to the last few minutes there, that was joe biden's attempt to say, hey, i care about you a lot more than that guy does. i'll be curies to see how biden versus trump does on that

question, cares about people like me. mike >> reporter: absolutely, chuck i think what you heard is a reason why white house officials, for better or for worse, thought that the president needs to be seen in public a lot more. we turn to that podium in the white house, and do those coronavirus briefings again, all these speeches that joe biden has done, they all have been officially about the economy, but really they've also been will the coronavirus pandemic. think about the very real concerns that a lot of americans have, especially as we think about the return to school there are people who may have to go back to work, but they don't know in their children are that was the rationale behind his speech today, but to the point you make, chuck, as i was listening to the earned of that speech, and his line about my father, i don't expect government to solve all my problems, but understand them. they used that exact story in a conversation i had with him in his west wing office as vice president just a few weeks after

hillary clinton lost to donald trump, and his frustration about the way she ran her campaign was that democrats in his view was so confident everyone knew they were right on the issues, they didn't need to trance late them to the ordinary working-class voters that joe biden has alleges considered his base. you heard it last week when he talked about environment plans he hears jobs when you talk about that rather than the merits of combatting climate change more than anything, filling the leadership vacuum that they have seen the president give them, you heard him say very pointedly that the president has quit on you. he's quit on the country, chuck. >> i took the first part of the remarks as an attempt to goad president trump to later today respond to him on the virus. anyway, mike memoli on the ground for us, covering the biden campaign thank you. katy, over to you. >> if you'll indulge me one moment, i think it's worth

lingers on the substance, talking about paid family care this is an issue that women and men have been advocating for in this country for a long time, making sure both women and men have paid time off after of birth of a child, or paid time off to take care of a parent that weight doesn't just fall on the woman or mom or daughter, or not just the woman that facing consequencing by going back into the workforce. by rebalancing, it also addresses issues between races i know the president's daughter had been working on a -- it is a feeling that the tide is now turning. it's just how best to go about it, how best to fund it.

michael cohen is suing attorney general barr, and a federal judge will hear oral arguments this thursday. cohen's lawyers will ask for a temporary restraining order. if granted, michael cohen would be allowed to sent back home to confinement. in a petition filed monday by a law firm and the aclu, cohen claimed he was sent back to prison because he planned to publish a tell-all book about the president. he refused to sign an agreement, including no writing books and no using social media. according to the lawsuit, the book would give damning details of president trump's behaviors behind closed doors. the doj has declined to comment. chuck?

in missouri, schools are weighing how to dealing with the virus -- but it's no debate for the governor, who just says they will have to it is it and get over it. we'll talk about that after the break. t's next no matter what challenges life throws at you, we're always here to help with fast response and great service and it doesn't stop there we're also here to help look ahead that's why we're helping members catch up by spreading any missed usaa insurance payments over the next twelve months so you can keep more cash in your pockets for when it matters most and that's just one of the many ways we're here to help the military community find out more at usaa.com

this as new data reveals covid-19 cases for people under 20 continue to grow across the state of missouri. governor mike parson wade over the weekend making his case for why kids should return in person. >> these kids have got to get back to school they're at the lowest risk

possible, and if they do get covid-19, which they will, they're not going to the hospitals. they're not going to have to sit in doctors' offices. they're going to go home and they're going to get over it >> he's bring caliperry. you know, listens to the governor there where you have to consider so many things. just one death of the student to the virus i think for a lot of people would be one death too many. >> reporter: absolutely, and itunder scores what we are seeing around the country, and then you have this frustration, i think that's growing, especially in this part of the country, about how county by

county you have a vast difference i had a chance to speak to the person who runs st. louis county take a listen. >> the governor and i do agree on everything, but we have to work together. my position is the virtual position would be the best option, and we want to make sure any in-school options are as safe as possible if we see an up tick in covid over the next three, four weeks or the next two, like weeks, we would revisit the decision to have any classroom activity at all. >> reporter: mr. page there is talking specifically about the schools. we had the roll-out of the plans yesterday, and it varies a lot will be phased-in approach, maybe students in the classroom two days a week.

a lot of it will still be at home, chuck. >> we can do this through a political prism. missouri is one of the few states that it willy hold governor races the same years as the presidential election. this is an election year for that governor, the first time to win a full term on his own cal perry, thank you katy, over to you. >> let's go to nbc white house correspondent carol lee. so the office of the management and budget is recommending that the president not sign this. it sounds like a pretty big deal. >> reporter: that's right, the president has signaling that he would veto the national defense authorization act, this annual appropriation funding bill for

the military, if it included a provision to rename military bases. this is something the president has weighed in on multiple times, that he is vehemently against, and now this is the administration coming down with its official policy, saying the president will indeed veto this bill as it is. the renaming of military bases is one of the several things it points out that it takes issue with, particularly some of the other provisions that they see as too prescriptive in ties the executive branch's hands, particularly with funding for afghanistan, for instance. but this is broughtly bipartisan, and usually has the support of both parties, so the president saying this is rather significant, and also because it puts him again at odds with members of his own party that clearly authority this bill. the senate has made its views known, so the president as

they're negotiating this other trillion dollar package for coronavirus funds is now picking a fight with congress over the national defense authorization act, katy. >> carol lee at the white house, thank you very much. chuck, back to you i tell you, it's an odd fight to pick when look at his poll ratings on race relations and the virus right now. that's an odd fight to pick. speaker pelosi and senator schumer are gearing up to speak with members of the administration about the next round of coronavirus relief. they have three weeks to get it done smart bed is on sale now. can it help keep us asleep? absolutely, it senses your movements and automatically adjusts to keep you both comfortable save up to $900 on select sleep number 360 smart beds. plus, 0% interest for 24 months on all smart beds. only for a limited time. but not every tomato ends in the same kind of

heinz ketchup. because you can't be everyone's favorite ketchup without making a ketchup for everyone. because you can't be everyone's favorite ketchup apps except work.rywhere... why is that? is it because people love filling out forms? maybe they like checking with their supervisor to see how much vacation time they have. or sending corporate their expense reports. i'll let you in on a little secret. they don't. by empowering employees to manage their own tasks, paycom frees you to focus on the business of business. to learn more, visit paycom.com if your dry eye symptoms keep coming back, inflammation in your eye might be to blame. looks like a great day for achy, burning eyes! over-the-counter eye drops typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. ha! these drops probably won't touch me. xiidra works differently, targeting inflammation

that can cause dry eye disease. what is that? xiidra, noooo! it can provide lasting relief. xiidra is the only fda approved treatment specifically for the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. one drop in each eye, twice a day. don't use if you're allergic to xiidra. common side effects include eye irritation, discomfort or blurred vision when applied to the eye, and unusual taste sensation. don't touch container tip to your eye or any surface. after using xiidra, wait 15 minutes before reinserting contacts. got any room in your eye? talk to an eye doctor about twice-daily xiidra. i prefer you didn't! xiidra. not today, dry eye. it's actually a busy day on capitol hill

joining me is arkansas republican congressman french hill thank you for coming on. you probably spent a lot of time talking about this, but quickly, we heard about the president planning to veto the defense authorization, primarily over the provision of the name changes of some of these bases do you think that's a good use of his power >> i would not veto this bill, as he nosed at the top of this hill, we've worked very hard for years to make it a partisan bill the bill is never perfect, never perfect from the executive branch's point of view, and perhaps some changes can be made in conference between the house and senate to make it better, but i fit if the bill stands as it is, i can support it. we're not finish with the amendment, so something could go awry in the amendment process. >> let me ask you also about the stimulus bill, the upcoming

stimulus bill, the white house wants to cut out funding for testing in the latest relief package. do you support reducing our cutting out funding? >> we had $25 billion in testing, about $10 billion of it went to the states about 78$78 million came to arkansas, and it remains unspent, because we're using the cares money to pay for our testing program in arkansas. the money that was in the house bill previously could be spent over 30 months so i think we need to study very carefully how much more testing money is needed by the states in this next bill that's something, katy, i feel strongly about generally we need the facts. we need to know how we have spent the money in our states and what gaps remain, on many topics

>> there is a lack of testing in a number of states right now, especially the hard-hit states -- florida, arizona, texas -- it currently takes you more than three, four days to get a test result back here in new york do you think the money might not be useful in those states right now? >> well, katy, here is the deal on that. in our whole delegation in arkansas wrote vice president pence about this there's a shortage of supply of the reagents to speed up the testing results so we're not waiting more than 48 hours for a test we urged the vice president to use the defense production act or other ways to increase produces and get it out to our hospitals and our public hess departments. so we need that done by the federal government we need their leadership i think that's a slightly bigger picture issue than just the money allocated for testing in the states i think it's -- both are issues,

but i hope we can get the reagent supply issue teed up sooner than later. >> that's an important nugget you just said, about the fact you used the defense production act on that. the answer about reagents is the answer we get no matter what aisle someone is on. they say that seems to be the issue. >> right. let me ask you about the so-called enhanced unemployment benefit. it seems as if there's more and more people who believe it has been helpful economically and getting rid of it might actually be a tougher thing on the economy short term, and i know there's talk about finding a middle ground here where are you on this issue? >> chuck, i think we do need to try to find a middle ground that preserves unxwloiismt benefits for those who are still suffering and not back to work, but also make sure we balance it out with our individual local labor markets in our different

states so instead of a flat $600 it would be nice to be variable i know this is something they're talking about in the senate. i hope they can come up with a sensible proposal to help those who are unemployed, but at the same time give us an incentive to go back to work as well congressman french hill, a republican that represents much of the little rock viewing area. >> great to be with you. >> thank you for share your perspective. >> thank you, chuck. katy, over to you. outrage in oregon, the mayor of portland and several other u.s. mayors have sent a letter to the attorney general and head of dhs, blasting federal authorities for grabbing protesters off the streets ins portland oregon's governor calls it political theater by president trump, and she joins us after a very quick break

a day after the president suggesting that portland was not the only city he would send federal sbr vengs to they joined the mayor of portland signing a letter. they sent a letter to bill barr and chad wolfe condemning federal law enforcement coming to cities. they say they con tin yowlly

attack they have created a environment of fear and mistrust joining me now is the democratic governor of oregon kate brown. it is good to have you on. the major of portland also said that he believes the protests, they believe the protests were dieing down and they were brought back to life because of this federal intervention. what do you make of what is happening they're saying the pe is doing this because it is a election year. >> there is no question that his failure to lead, the activities, the sending law enforcement officials on to the streets of portland is a distraction from his failure to lead. there is no question that this was about coring political points with his base when the

secretary came into portland he brought a fox news team with him for a photo opportunity. they left the gra if ity grafite courthouse for weeks it is about politics, political theater, it is not about safety or problem solving >> governor, are you, before the intervention here by the federal government, were you concerned about the nightly protests >> look, two things happening. one peaceful protests across not just portland but communities across oregon i applaud these protestors they're issuing a call to end racial discrimination in the state and the country. i join in the chorus of that

call we certainly had some violent folks, property destruction, absolutely unacceptable. violence offers nothing, involves nothing, and the violence is a distraction from the important work that we're doing to tackle racism in our general justice system, our health care system and in our economy. >> do you think that whatever this small group of instigators are, do you think they have more of them in oregon than in in other places, and do you know who the group of people is >> so, there is absolutely no question that the protests were calming down and the presence of federal troops here, has

substantially exacerbated and an already challenging situation. when i spoke to the secretary of security i told them to go home, their forces are not needed here, not wanted here, and they're making a challenging situation worse. as i said the violence is absolutely unacceptable. we're talking about out liars in terms of protestors, but in oregon we solve problems by sitting down and deescalating and engaging in dialogue i know that is what the mayor is doing, i know that folks are having the conversations about bringing the violence to an end and unfortunately president trump and his administration are more interested in distracting from their failure to lead and

ensuring that cities and situations like this escalate. this is about political points and political theater. >> there is a governor making the rounds of a 53-year-old navy veteran standing up to the federal authorities asking them to remember their oath he was on with chris hays last night. >> what was so upsetting is that there didn't seem to be any recognition that as a veteran i was going to be listened to or treated any differently from anyone else and that makes sense. if they're going to gas moms, they're going to beat up vets. >> a lot of people out there i'm sure are scratching their heads wondering if you have more important to kick those federal authorities out. whether or not the state has

more authority to stop them from intervening in the way they are. >> look, what is really clear, my heart goes out to the veteran. we also had a young man who was nearly killed. he is still in the hospital with a fractured skull. one of the officered fired a "nonlethal bullet" and nearly killed him these are a violation of our democratic principals. the last time i checked we were a democracy not a dictatorship they want the troops to go home, i agree, it is time for the trump troops to go hope and
