kevin mccarthy. you may begin. >> thank you for joining me this morning. this call today, i want to tell you who is with me as well. i'm notevin brady -- sure why we are hearing that noise, but if you could put it on mute, it would make it easier for us to talk. i have kevin brady, patrick mchenry, [inaudible]

kellyanne conway, lindsey graham, kevin mccarthy, former u.s. acting attorney general matt whitaker and from the state of georgia where everyone is debating the governor's re-opening plan, republican congressman doug collins. they will all join me. it's a potent lineup. but first let's do my open. congress' approval rating was just 20% when this all started. proving how little americans think of their elected representatives in washington, but how broken the system really is. at a time when we need them most, they are not working, but they are getting their paycheck and using any reason for not work is nothing new to them. which i suspect is one of the reasons congress' approval rating hasn't gone above 30% in a decade. they talk a good game, but rarely deliver on their promises. their ultimate goal is being part of the winning team. while most americans were told to shelter in place, essential workers were out working. doctors, nurses, healthcare professionals, police, firefighters, first responders, truckers, delivery workers, postal workers,

us our secretary steve mnuchin come senators roy blunt, john curran, dan sullivan as well as kevin mccarthy and representative steve scalise and liz cheney. all coming.e you a very big moment. i want to thank congress for answering my call to pass this critical funding. the bill includes, as you probably know, $320 billion to refill the paycheck protection program helping keep millions and millions of american workers on the payroll. great for small businesses and the workers. $30 billion to the paycheck protection funds will be reserved for small financial institutions including those minority and distressed communities. extend vital relief to african-americans and has panic

and a bipartisan fashion, i would just point out, doesn't mean just consulting with our leader, kevin mccarthy. it means getting the concurrence of the minority leader. getting the concurrence of the republicans for any changes they want to make. but we must make changes. we must recognize that we have to be able to function, we have to be able to deliberate. we have to recognize the new environment in which we are operating. and i am confident that we will be able to do that. i am confident that we will finally be able to pass this p.p.p. program. the program that's been delayed now unnecessarily for so long, a program on which there's no disagreement about the importance of this program. but we've watched the blocks by the democrats and we've watched the delays and it's now time to stop. it's time to pass this program that's going to provide the kinds of support and assistance the people of this country need. so with that, i'm going turn things over to our whip, steve scalise. mr. scalise: thank you, liz. it's really important that we are back here in congress, back doing the people's work.

bill de blasio about that in a moment but we begin with the top republican house minority leader kevin mccarthy and sir, thank you for your time. you are at a stalemate, how come? >> we are not on a stalemate on the republican side. the only problem here is democrats are denying the ability for small businesses to get their loans from the fda to pay their employees. we have the speaker being a late night tv, more important showcasing her gourmet ice cream than securing the funding. we now ran out of money, $350 billion. more than 1.6 million small businesses out of 5,000 banks got this loan. but as of today, we ran out of money and now we are in jeopardy of all the other loans that are in their because we requested last week to move it. a one-page bill, just provide another $250 billion which would allow small business to keep paying for their employees, that becomes a grant. but speaker pelosi and chuck schumer said no. >> bill: okay, so speaker pelosi said the following in part. she is looking for help for the under banked small businesses and others struggling to access ppe. looking for a de

since then, kevin mccarthy and mitch mcconnell have said, we want to see how this phase three, this third package they passed, see how it is going. right off the bat, we have been hearing from small businesses that almost $350 billion is not enough to keep them afloat. from restaurants to bookstores do anything like that, you will have difficulty making payroll and paying people's insurance. the speaker says they will need to double that amount in the next stimulus package. the speaker floated some ideas last week about whether or not they wanted to do the infrastructure package. the president himself has said we should go big, we should spend up to $2 billion -- is one of those things that gets trotted out every once in a while. it is a signal that we are going to have a weird week. that was bandied about. it seems like the president wanted to do it. republicans in congress said let's focus on health care workers. the speaker sent out a letter over the weekend in which she said the next round will be focused on small businesses and health-care workers, in particular. it is still taking s
