i think it very much in favor of it verges senator tim kaine says he's seen more of his colleagues rallied to the plan many in the senate who are not formally in the group of 8 are weighing in saying hey we like this proposal cain says he's working with other senators to resolve one of the frameworks remaining obstacles liability protections. >>and we made we made real progress on we've narrowed the differences lawmakers on both sides of the aisle want to remind the american people. this bill is not the last bit of relief coming from the government west virginia senator joe mansion. this is not a dual and all. >>this is a covid emergency relief framework. relief package mansion says the one wildcard is senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, who continues to advocate for a narrower proposal if we put a bipartisan bill together and he squashes that or tries to squash an. then you know what we're going to be here for quite a while. yes, what mitch might miss christmas in kentucky. might be christmas in dc congress currently has until december 18th to pass a covid relief bill reporting in was

i want to play for you what your colleague, senator tim kaine, said about that timeline just last hour> my understanding is bernie's not saying we're not going to have a vote on the nda, he's trying to insist that we need a vote on the $2,000 as well. i strongly support both. we have to override the president's veto before january 3rd. >> does that timeline, sir, january 3rd, square up with what you are planning? >> yeah, look, i would hope that we can resolve this issue as quickly as possible. we want to work on the president's override. people have a right to vote on that, but i will tell you this, ayman, all across this country, my own state of vermont, throughout america, we are looking at a level of economic desperation for working families the likes of which we have not seen in our lifetimes. i mean, we're talking about many, many millions of people who fear -- fear that they're going to be evicted from their homes because they don't have the money to pay their rent. we're looking at people unable to go to a doctor in the midst of a horrible pandemic. they don't have the money to

. >> senator kaine already said to my colleague that this isn't enough. do you support this? >> it was unfailveiled an hour none of us have taken a hard look at it. it's a positive development and this amount of money could get us through what is likely to be a very hard and deadly winter. this isn't big enough to be able to get us to the point where the entire country is vaccinated. but it might be enough to make sure that millions of americans don't go hungry, don't starve, don't die out on the streets this winter when their jobless benefits expire and when protections for evictions expire. the reality, though, is that until mitch mcconnell actually decides to do something, it doesn't really matter how many members of his caucus agree to compromise proposals. i was just down on the senate floor talking to senate republicans who don't believe we should do anything. half of the republicans in the united states senate don't believe that we should expend one additional dollar of help for americans who are having their unemployment benefits expire or for homeless shelters that a

as such, historians rediscovered buchanan-kaine relationship, and starting in the 1980's, some explicitly argued it may have contained a sexual element. -- historians discovered that buchanan-king relationship and starting in the 1980's, some explicitly argued it may have contained a sexual element. in the november, 1987 issue of penthouse magazine, of all places, the new york gossip columnist noted the findings in an article headlined, "our first gay president out of the closet, finally." the famous novelist john updike pushed back in his novel from 1992. updike creatively imagined the boardinghouse life of buchanan and king, but admitted finding few traces of a homosexual path. updike's conclusion has not stopped a variable torrent of historical speculation in the years since. this leaves us today with the popular conception of james buchanan as our first gay president. on the one hand, it's not so bad a thing. centuries of repression of homosexuality in the united states has erased countless numbers of americans from the story of lgbtq history, and thus, american history. the lack of a

by the way, at one point virginia senator tim kaine, he is a democrat, he joined lamar alexander withsh we had it on tape. i will tell you something, next week, you got to be a faithful viewer of this program, i am going to be coming on camera wearing a rather strange christmas sweater, singing good king wencelas. i already do it. i taped it. most of fox already seen it today. i'm told i made a fool of myself susan: do you think lamar and tim kaine run for their money you hit the high octaves. stuart: i won't be there. susan: tell me what day you will run the promo. i will not be here. stuart: neil cavuto will be watching me, is that right? neil: it is very good, you have a very good voice. stuart: you saw it? neil: yes i did. i was watching remotely. >> okay. all right. neil: just thought i would tell you. looking forward to seeing it again. looks like a pay-per-view event. pay-per-view event. i will do the italian accordion thing i think we're off to the races. we'll look at that it is very good, stuart. blew me away. not the sweater. your viewers are

got up to 16 when we kind of called in additional allies, like mike crapo and some of them and tim kaine and dick blumenthal. you normally can't get 16 senators to agree what's for lunch, but the fact that we came together on nearly a billion dollars, a trillion dollars, excuse me, nearly a trillion dollars of emergency relief for americans in need, and when joe says, this shows even as dysfunctional as the congress can be, when we're confronted with a crisis, this group and god willing, our other colleagues will step up and do the right thing. so, i think it is an enormously good day for our country today, from the vaccine, to our electoral process, to congress actually working. the fruit is, as has been mentioned already, this gets assistance to lots of americans who are in desperate need. it would be scrooge-like if we went away and left folks the day after christmas, to lose their unemployment or the day after new year's to lose their apartment. we have, i think, addressed virtually every major category. there are others who say, there are additional things that could be added to thi

i would like to highlight the good work of my colleague, senator kaine, who recently cochaired -- senator king, who recently cochaired the cyberspace solarium commission. identified a number of recommendations to reduce the probability impact of cyberattacks of critical infrastructure, which he presented to the senate armed services committee yesterday and it was quite enlightening. the report is broad in scope. many recommendations affect the electric industry and i look forward to hearing about the impact today. a few months ago the president issued an executive order directing the department of energy to identify foreign-made grid components that pose an unacceptable security risk to the u.s. power grid. while i support this action, i was concerned that the order targets were not being adequately constructed. another senator and i sent a letter to the doe about those concerns and are eager to utilize invaluable knowledge and experience of manufacturers as they implement this executive order. having both doe and industry representatives here, i look forward to hearing how these engageme
