there's a bipartisan solution that i've work with angus king called a repay act. we are ready to get to work fully someone from the white house would pick up the phone and call. you should have my number, bird out senate,.gov, will give you my telephone number. but back to the elephant in the room. why aren't we having a discussion on k-12 reopening? are we concerned with the teachers union if we demanded students fully reopen this fall? last year, republicans were blocked in their efforts to do demand school reopening. will we be blocked again when union said they don't want to go back to school this fall? science tells us the children are much less likely than adults to experience severe illness as a result of covid-19. signs tell us that teachers can be safely vaccinated. thanks to operation warp speed, and the fda, we got safe and effective vaccines approved in record time, and every adult in this country, including every teacher has had plenty of time to get vaccinated at this point. science tells us that children over 12 can be vaccinated, and hopefully this

i interviewed senator angus king, an independent who is really wise and has great relationships acrosshe body, you know, being in the senate these days is like being on a high school football team that hasn't won in five years. there is a sense that they feel powerless when they are the ones who are choosing to use their power in the majority to let the largest rollback of access to the polls in history happen with a democratic president, a democratic-controlled sin at and a democratic-controlled house of representatives. i wonder how that feels for you in a state with republican control. >> yeah. let me tell you something, the republicans are not bowing down to us whatsoever. so i don't understand why we, having the control on the national level, why we are bowing down. democracy demands more. we heard from those officers today, and they were risking their lives, not for democrats, not for republicans, but for our democracy. so if they can risk their lives and if people can actually lose their lives for our democracy on that day as well as in history, i don't understand why there's no
