as jim clyburn was saying on cnn, he also spoke on a special report podcast on friday. he said this is about making sure that people spend this money wisely. not just taxpayer money expenses. this could be the differs between life and death for people. we model this or the truman committee over world war ii. kevin mccarthy and other republicans have said, they don't think this is necessary and it seems redundant. there is oversight authorities that are baked into the last stimulus package in phase three. that is, including -- that is including a special inspector general for the spinning that the president has nominated. for the spending that the president -- the spinning that the president has nominated. spending that the president has nominated. there to be redundancies. i asked the majority whip about this. he said that you got to remember, the day the president signed the legislation, he issued a signing statement that said, he was going to feel free to ignore some of those oversight requirements, such as the inspector general sharing with congress. consistentt of a

you'll have a nominee and a lot of that goes to jim clyburn and he deserves the credit for what he was able to politically accomplish. we don't question his political abilities, he's the majority whip, he knows how to gather votes, he knows how to make the political argument. but, madam speaker, this is the that ndividual who said the pandemic presented the perfect opportunity to restructure things to fit our own vision. ms. pelosi: today is a historic day for us to once again to pass our fourth bipartisan legislation to address the very irus crisis, i'm eased with the vote, 388-5 passing under suspension and a recorded vote. we have masterful leadership of richie neal managing the bill on the floor and he kept our remarks to 0 seconds. i will use 30 seconds to acknowledge the greatness of our leadership of our committee to make this important event possible and then take 0 seconds to comment on it. congresswoman waters, the chair of the financial services committee was remarkable and brought her depth of knowledge of the financial industry as well as her deep values about making every

you'll have a nominee and a lot of that goes to jim clyburn and he deserves the credit for what he was able to politically accomplish. we don't question his political abilities, he's the majority whip, he knows how to gather votes, he knows how to make the political argument. but, madam speaker, this is the that ndividual who said the pandemic presented the perfect opportunity to restructure things to fit our own vision. i do not question his appointment. i wonder why this committee. if that was his view, why wasn't he put on the congressional oversight that was equal with the number of republicans and the number of democrats? the public does not want to see politics. why would we waste our time bringing people back to create a political committee? i guess the vote will tell us differently. it's interesting to know why we are here. at 8:30 today we actually found the reason. $4 -- 4.4 million more reasons why we're here. how many of those 4.4 million would not have gotten a pink slip last week had we listened more than two weeks ago on april 7 when we said the program we created, that

jim clyburn is a smart, political person. he is credited with getting joe biden the nomination when joe biden -- he is also the individual who told everybody -- he elected the third-highest person as majority whip, they lost a majority, he kept the job. you have to be politically smart to keep a job a majority whip and losing the majority. he went on to come backstage as the whip, who had joe biden the nominee, he told all his members that the coronavirus is an opportunity to restructure government into their liberal view. politically, he is smart, he was to use things politically, she is trying to tell me this is a policy one. i read it and told her clearly that i view this as another impeachment committee, it is the only one that is looking at from a standpoint of that we created from cares, is what is not created after cares, that is weighted. there are more democrats than republicans. there's nobody from the administration and there are no senators. it is a political appointed group. then she says, let me see who you are

change and to try to -- go to jim clyburn, the majority whip. what did he say? an coronavirus is opportunity to restructure government to their vision. let's apply that to what we are asking for right now. we already have policy that is working and it needs more money. americaof saying yes, needs it, let's just supply them more money. no, let's take the opportunity with coronavirus to change other policy as well. everybody is saying it's about to peak in the next two weeks. our small businesses and those employed by them -- do they have to wait because we are playing politics? could we just give them more money? aboutave two questions the oversight commission. when do you plan to make your selections for the panel and have you spoken with speaker pelosi about the jointly care?ted >> there are three oversight committees. one is by inspector general's or inspectors general. one is an appointment by the president. and then we have a congressional oversight commission appointed by each leader and the people who decide the chairs arpa losey and mcconnell. are pelosi

it's representative jim clyburn in south carolina who made it all happen for joe biden.o i don't think that's ever been biden's real problem in terms of the whole of the democratic party. his problem is the more progressive side of the democratic party that has no faith in him whatsoever. it's kind of interesting you saw how obamacare was discussed during the debates. it went from this very far left position to something that wasn't even good enough in these most recent debates. so his problems are policy problems and his pat not the black vote in america. i don't think that's where his biggest issue is. ainsley: i know you are in indianapolis right now. let's talk about getting this country back to work. the president last night or yesterday said he wants this to be up to the governors now. do you agree with that? because new york might be a different story than indianapolis or middle america where you are not seeing as many cases. >> right, so nebraska and indiana are not new york and connecticut. that's important to keep in this conversation. it's also important that

jim clyburn makes the endorsement, everything changes in south carolina, and then just over one monthesday as joe biden swept through those states and everything was flipped on its head. so this race moved quickly. it is an incredible comeback. in talking to people around the sanders' campaign and the biden campaign, they have much more confidence in 2020 than they did in 2016 that they can bring the party together because they do, again, this president as an existential threat to the country. >> and we certainly are rightly -- our attention is rightly focused on this pandemic and not politics. but when we move beyond this, there is no doubt that political scientists and historians in the years to couple look at what joe biden did in south carolina and super tuesday as one of the great political turnarounds in american history. >> it was incredible. >> it happened overnight. somebody who was -- whose campaign was cast aside and forgotten, and now he is the presumptive nominee of the democratic party. >> so in the wake of the ebola virus outbreak in 2014, president obama warned the ame

you'll have a nominee and a lot of that goes to jim clyburn and he deserves the credit for what he was able to politically accomplish. we don't question his political abilities, he's the majority whip, he knows how to gather votes, he knows how to make the political argument. but, madam speaker, this is the that ndividual who said the pandemic presented the perfect opportunity to restructure things to fit our own vision. i do not question his appointment. i wonder why this committee. if that was his view, why wasn't he put on the congressional oversight that was equal with the number of republicans and the number of democrats? the public does not want to see politics. why would we waste our time bringing people back to create a political committee? i guess the vote will tell us differently. it's interesting to know why we are here. at 8:30 today we actually found the reason. $4 -- 4.4 million more reasons why we're here. how many of those 4.4 million would not have gotten a pink slip last week had we listened more than two weeks ago on april 7 when we said the program we created, that

perhaps you're aware that south carolina congressman jim clyb n clyburn, he recently listed a few names as potential running mates for jooid. i believe last summer you came out and endorsed him. congressman clyburn told the newspaper in london you would make a solid number two. you're a first-term mayor of a major metropolitan area. do you think you're qualified to be vice president? >> craig, after navigating a pandemic in the biggest municipal cyber attack in the history of our country, i think i'm qualified to handle just about anything other than home schooling my four kids. so when congressman clyburn mentions your name, certainly it's an honor to be spoken. i've said all along, i want joe biden to win in november. i trust he will make the best choice that will allow him the best opportunity to take over the white house in november because elections matter. we see it now. we see where we are as a country, attempting to navigate this pandemic. i think we could have done a much better job even if we simply had the pandemic team in place that was left by the obama/biden administration
