kaine: madam president, before i get to the motion that i'm going to make, i want to take a few minutes to discuss the importance of why the senate must pass the coronavirus relief flexibility for students and institutions act, which is s. 3947. this has to do with an action that we took as bipartisan colleagues, a most important action in march, passing the cares act. the cares act included $13.9 million for a higher education emergency relief for institutions to directly support students facing urgent needs related to this pandemic and also to support the institutions as they cope with the effects of covid-19. from this amount about $12.5 billion was provided to all institutions of higher education and they had to use half the funds for the students and half the funds for institutional expenses and needs. congress was very careful in crafting this bipartisan resolution so that the institutions could make their own decisions about how to use and -- and reward those funds, both to students and how to use them for institutions. unfortunately, the department of education is not following

>>virginia senators, tim kaine and mark warner are concerned about the declining re of child immunizations during the pandemic rates. >>are starting to go down in a way that is very very troubling. we've got a whole lot of parents that were afraid to go to the hospital are afraid to go to their doctors and so you've got a whole cohort of kids and they didn't get vaccinated kaine and warner along with 15 other senators are asking the centers for disease control. >>to develop a plan to reverse the trend. >>what is the plan to make sure that we continue z the laudable focus that this nation has had. on vaccinations to keep families safe. both came in warner see the lack of immunizations against measles and other vaccine, preventable diseases. >>could lead to new problems in the future it also creates a health care crisis. if you've got kids in our getting immunized they also want the cdc to ensure children are a priority. the coronavirus vaccine becomes available when the vaccine for coronavirus is about children shouldn't get in the line. the cdc hasn't responded to the senator's yet or to o

so tim kaine spoke with me about that. listen to what he said. >> we have to show people we can make big steps forward. then you get to health disparities, unemployment disparities, voter disenfranchisement. there are so many things we can tackle but usually the second victory is easier after the first one. so let's tackle police reform first and if we can make progress there, hopefully that gives us momentum on the others. >> reporter: you heard him speaking about police reforms. he referred to the justice in policing act, brought forward by senators booker and harris. it matches with what a lot of folks here are asking for, banning chokeholds, making sure there's no racial profiling and ending qualified immunity. the conversations are ongoing here behind me. really talking about how to extend the conversation. joshua. >> that's amanda golden and deepa shivron. we are keeping an eye inside the bok arena where the president will be speaking tonight. you can see them pressed against the stage. these kind of gatherings where

senator kaine, anything for the good of the order? >> just to follow up, mr. chair, on your comment and then one additional question. i'll put myself firmly in the camp on this in that i think we ought to stay in the w.h.o. and use our leverage to push reforms. an enormously frustrating organization, like every international organization. the u.s. chose -- the senate actually chose not to put the u.s. into the league of nations when president wilson urged after world war i that we do so, and the organization was ineffective. it was more ineffective because the u.s. wasn't involved, but it was interesting during the 1930s, long before world war ii, fdr could see the league of nations collapse coming and basically said it's been effective, but if it collapses, we're going to need to recreate it if the world needs it, and started re-creating for the u.n., the plans were delayed, but eventually, it was carried through on. recognizing the frustration, the u.s. pulled out of the u.n. human rights council for very legitimate reasons. a history of anti-israel bias and

kaine: -- sen. king: general, you have one of the most important assignments in the united states government. i want to start on a couple of points that have been made previously. there has been some disdain for it -- that you will continue to cooperate with international efforts to find this virus -- this virus does not care if you are brazilian, american, or english. it strikes me that there may be additional science and wisdom being developed in other parts of the world that we should take advantage of. one of my mottos is all of us are smarter than one of us. can you commit that you are open working with international partners on the project? question so they have revolved around the relationships on safety and speed and i think it is important to refer back to 1955 and the cutter vaccine which was administered to 200,000 children in the midwest and west. 40,000 of whom contracted polio. if we are going to inject something into the arms of 300 million americans we better be damp sure it is effec

madam president, i ask that senator kaine modify his request and the instead of committee on help be discharged from further consideration of senate 2559, student training economic or education metrics act, and the senate proceed to its immediate consideration. further, that the bill be considered read a third time and passed and that the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table. the presiding officer: is the senator from virginia so modifying his request? mr. kaine: madam president, i appreciate my senate colleague's desire to increase accountability and transparency of student outcomes. and i was a governor doing the same thing with virginia institutions. i view his request as a little bit of a non sequitur. it's not really connected to mine. he mentioned we shouldn't be throwing more money at colleges. let me make plain again, my request does not cost a penny. it is not about an additional penny to colleges. it is about implementing the cares act that was passed on an overwhelmingly bipartisan vote by this body on march 26. senator scott's bill does not deal

senator kaine: you are familiar with the ppp program. were you involved at giving gas at omb for giving advice gas were you involved with giving -- were you involved in giving advice? mr. vought: we try to move as quickly as possible with subsidy rate and things of that nature to help them stand up as quickly as possible. i would generally defer to those agencies with specific questions. were all moving quickly, there is a bill to fix some technical aspects. in virginia, in the first round of funding, and we refilled the bucket at the end of april. about 100,000 businesses or nonprofit organizations received commitment of about $12 billion. it was a hard program to stand up quickly. the reason the ppp program was provided was because business were losing so much revenue during the collapse by covid. there was a decision by congress and the administration that we needed to backstop those lots revenues so they would not see layoffs. to be afind that legitimate objective? mr. vought: i believe it was an important aspect of the program and t

i listened to the debate with senator scott and senator kaine, and i seen this before. when we bring a a partisan bilo the floor where there's no prearranged opportunity to offer the types of amendments with simple majority votes, the rule of of the senate can prevail, when you start from a point that cannot lead to a successful conclusion, you shouldn't start. you should go back to negotiate. a truly bipartisan bill. we should use the model of the cares act legislation that was signed into law in response to covid-19 pandemic. that was a bipartisan bill that was ultimately brought to the floor. let me just highlight a few of my concerns with the justice act. this legislation does not contain any mechanisms to hold law enforcement officers accountable in court for the misconduct. for example, it makes no changes in law when it comes to qualified immunity or criminal intent standard for law enforcement. the standards have allowed law enforcement officers regularly to evade -- and has shielded officers liability even in the violet citizens constitutionalti rights. this ju

kaine: mr. president, i came to the floor to hear my colleague from south carolina with no notes, with an open heart and open ears because i knew he would be very disappointed that the motion to proceed failed, that he would have strong feelings about that because of his earnest desire to do police reform. i don't question that desire or the desire of any of the cosponsors of this bill just as i hope colleagues on the other side don't question the sincerity of senators booker and harris and those who cosponsored their bill. but i came with no notes to listen to my colleague and then to offer a word of explanation. i am one of the 44 people who voted no. the senator from south carolina said those of us who voted no on the motion to proceed didn't vote no on the what, we voted no on the who. that's a stiff charge. that's a stiff charge. what i want to say is this -- i voted no not on the what and not on the who. i voted no on the how. on the how. we tried it the wrong way. let's try it the right w

[inaudible] there's a one hour bible study. after going through one hour study, or the read the bible to him he pulled out a gun and shot nine people that bible study. mr. president, you and i not long after that attended one of the funerals in charleston south carolina. tim was there. any other city in america would not have dealt with at the way charleston south carolina did. charleston, south carolina dealt with that with love it something we don't talk about that very often. tim scott was there. because of his time and grace because of the mayor and the black leaders in that town the time they had with each other they move forward. and overcame that tragedy. five years ago tim scott put a bill on this floor and we ended up then in the exact same place we are now, doing absolutely nothing. how many more black men and women have to die in america before this body stops playing politics wi

>> paul, this is a miss for tim kaine, the democratic senator from virginia who announced this week thates didn't inherit slavery from anybody. we created it. now, paul, i think that would come as a surprise to africans who sold the slaves the to the colonists who came to america. in fact, the africans kept more slaves for themselves than they sent to the west. we all know that slavery existed for thousands of years before the colonists came to america and i know people like tim kaine are desperate to show their wokeness, but the idea that the u.s. is somehow in some peculiar way responsible for slavery in the world shows his ignorance. paul: kyle. >> a hit to face time doctor visits. when the pandemic first hit the trump administration worked to relax the government's normally stringent rules around telehealth and now the results are coming in. before, about 13,000 medicare patients a week were using telehealth and now we're at about 1.4 million and 30 senators have sent a letter to leadership calling for changes to be permanent. digital doctors may be here to stay. paul: kim. >> a hit

joining me with niger and ceo of congress of racial equality, nature senator kaine borrowing from the pseudo-history 1619 project, something so thoroughly discredited it has made its way to the senate floor. >> it is outrageous. it is factually untrue. the fact of the matter is is that africans would not have been successfully taken from their homeland without the cooperation of unfortunately, other africans and arabs for that matter. that trade to europeans, taught the europeans about that black gold called african, and ported them to the united states and caribbean and south america. >> laura: niger you were watching and so eloquent last week in discussing "black lives matter" and what a potent force but really quickly it's become an american politics. forget about american culture about american politics. what are you thinking a week later since your last appearance and how many companies are sending multimillion dollar checks and coming up with a lot of symbolic gestures to try to placate and satisfy the blm movement? >> i think it is very, very sad because it reminds me of my you

joined by my colleague from the state of maryland senator carden across the potomac river, senator kaine and senator durbin from illinois. we're here because like the americans taking to the streets around the country, we understand this is a moment when we must turn the pain into progress. we must transform the pain of george floyd's death and the unjust deaths of so much other black americans, into deep and lasting change. we must bring the passionate pleas of the protesters across the nation to the floor of the senate to root out systemic racism in all its ugly forms. this is a deep ingrained problem and it is clear that tinkering around the edges is not enough. systems embedded with racisoverhauled. the states in the form of the police cannot be allowed to continue unjustly taking the lives and liberty of black men and women. we must change the nature of policing. we need to change the culture, here in the senate we must change laws that compel changes in culture, but let us remember that the police as an institution, are a reflection of the greater society and would he have an oblig

kaine: madam president, on saturday, i attended a rally for justice sponsored by two young women, one a high schooler and one a middle schooler, in my hometown. the rally was one of numerous marches and rallies that have occurred every day, sometimes multiple times a day, in richmond in the weeks after the horrific public murder of george floyd. hundreds of people gathered in the maggie l. walker plaza, a plaza named after a pioneering african american woman, business, and civil rights leader. they gathered in the plaza to hear from our city's young people. many raised their hands when they were asked. they were graduates of this class of 2020, a class whose senior year was upended in mid-march and who face a future that seems frightening to many of them. i intended to listen. i used to be the mayor and governor and now a senator. but i attended to listen. i wasn't on the program and didn't ask to speak. i wanted to hear how our young people view this moment in time and what they are asking of us. what i heard in many different ways from speeches and artistic performances was no more

>> so i will respond, senator kaine. those are-- what we've collectively come to know as social distancing measures. they constitute the only medical intervention that we have absent a pandemic, or absent a vaccine, excuse me. and the reality is, that's likely to be the case in any pandemic situation. we will be without a vaccine for a time. so that's a fundamental, as a public health basic, what we have to remember is that any medical intervention has side effects and this has side effects and if i were to take pain medication, for example, i'd be told, you can't use this too long and you can't use too much of it or you're going to have other problems developed. we're obviously trying to find the balance now of this medical intervention that we've use absent having no vaccine. the answer is question, but there's going to be a limit to which we can use them as a practical matter without the side effects of the economy that we experienced and the damage more evident. >> you've anticipated my next request he, secretary. th
