mchenry: sadly, this has become a piece of partisan haggling.hink it is quite unfair to the small businesses across the country. , thesmall business program paycheck protection program, is the most popular program congress has authorized in my time in washington. what i would say is there is massive pressure on the elected class to get on with it and to refill the funds here. an unprecedented pace because there is unprecedented demand amongst small businesses to make payroll and pay the rent. of themal instincts american small business person is there. they need this really so they can get on with it. kevin: but congressman, take us behind the scenes here and remove the partisanship for one second. process wise, what is going on? why didn't leadership on both sides of the aisle actually execute this and get this done? rep. mchenry: well, because the democrats have additional requests they want prioritized. the funds have run out. the immediate need right now is to refill the money in the paycheck protection act. the democrats want further really

he jumps on horseback with the aformentioned james mchenry.they galloped down the east bank for 12 miles along the hudson to verplanck's ferry. after this, he writes of this attempt to his boss and it says he is planning on writing to general greene and general meigs. he does that, he writes to general greene. and also to colonel meigs, which is the light infantry regiment. they both quickly respond to the area that will save not only west point, but george washington and the rest of headquarters. here is hamilton's letter to greene. there has been unfolded at this place a scene of the blackest treason. arnold has fled to the enemy. andre, the british general, is in our possession as a spy. i came here in pursuit of arnold, but was too late. i advise you putting the army under marching orders and detaching a brigade immediately this way. quite dramatic. hamilton and the fetching peggy shippen and john andre, a charming man and charming woman. peggy shipman was the kardashian of her day. she had her own crush on john andre, a man of many talent

speaker mccarthy: mchenry, there are three things i would highlight here. one, the system of relief in the package. that is set upty to support municipal bonds in order to keep that functioning and for municipal bonds to continue. additionale will be regulatory relief so that municipalities can get their debt service through a variety .f different means >> you did say there was 150 billion in funding. you go through the state government to go down into the other cities. you found that california does have a rainy day fund that we could look to work with in the future. leaststate is getting at 1.2 5 billion in direct -- million in direct cash and that's on top of increasing all of the other assistance and help we are providing. operator, next question. next question comes from leeann caldwell from nbc news. your line is open. one moment. [no audio] >> one moment please. the next question comes from paul kane from washington post. your line is open. mccarthy.. thanks for doing this and thanks to the rest of you. just to clarify here in terms of this select co

i believe hamilton is also in uniform in tow with perhaps james mchenry or henry knox. i really wasn't sure how i could incorporate it all so i left it out. you can read about it in both newton and chernow and others. but it shows -- it is part of the whole theme that the federal government is going the use the military to back up the strength that they are trying to exert with its citizens. okay? it is a federalization model, something that someone like jefferson would have abhorred as a political opponent. other questions? there must be more. it is alexander hamilton. >> was lawrence hamilton realitied to alexander hamilton? and was he -- related to alexander hamilton and was he a commander in the great lakes in the war of 1812? >> i never looked into that. i know there are several desc d descendants of hamilton who took on great roles in the military. it is incredible when you read on this. but for that particular war of 1812 weld have to look it up or ask a descendant. >> i may be deputies here but what did washington die of? >> he had gone out on his horse that day

i have kevin brady, patrick mchenry, [inaudible]

of the metrics for the first -- congressman, i'll try one more time can you hear me, congressman mchenry? go ahead. >> outlined. >> just restart your thought, sir. georgia has not met any of the criteria and then continue that thought. >> sure. and the president's put the metrics out and the people of georgia are going to be able to hold their elected official accountable for the decisions they're making so i think having a public metric and having public data means that we have an informed electorate and people so they can reemerge in their economic life as they see fit. so i think judging by the president's standards he's laid out, georgia's not met the metrics. >> let's go over the standards what are they? >> i don't have the list in front of me but it's basically the count, the affect on your health system, and those being the key metrics here and when you see the sort of bending of the numbers of new cases that is a key ingredient of it and very few states have seen that. >> yeah. i guess to me the tricky thing is we say where we have bent that curve reopening won't that go up again

jon mchenry is vice president of north star opinion research, a conservative focus and survey group.inia. the president hasn't spoken for three days. what do you think of the performance? it's more of the performance? it's more ofa of the performance? it's more of a script this time. he did stick much more to the strip. you can tell it a few times it seemed like he was fighting against what is natural comeback in and gr. wanting to lash out until china but not mentioning them until later. a little bit more restrained and on message for some of his adviser. he was led into the china issue by a reporter. how much of a debate do you think is going on within the white house about this? because a lot of republicans have actually been advising the president not to ta ke been advising the president not to take part in these briefings after that disaster last thursday. yes, there's been a lot of advice i'm sure saying mr president, if you're going to do this, you need to be very circumspect about it. you could tell he was very much on script. he brought in a lot of business leaders to talk a

so he will come up for this meeting along with secretary of war james mchenry. they will converse there for five weeks and hamilton breaks out detailed charts. he organized out how everything he will work. it is very organized and it shows how obsessive-compulsive he was with detail including designs for uniforms and the soldiers huts. he was an amateur architect, perhaps, and then he returns to his office and he is basically trying to operation the u.s. army from that office space. there is an encampment not too far from here. it is a site picked by new jersey's own. it is an officer from elizabeth. he mapicked the site. about 2,000 soldiers were at camps there and a.hamilton does review the troupes in the fall of 1799. as we start to wrap it up, it is t the diamond eagle. it was a gift and it was presented from officers of the french army. it was their first meeting every three years, and of course it was owned by george washington until his death on december 14th, 1799. it has some 200 diamonds and other jewels that make it up. on his death, martha washington

consider because adams goes back to quincyo massachusetts washington is at mount vernon secretary of war mchenry that everybody seems to agree is not qualified for the job serves as the man in the middle between mount vernon and quincy and information did not travel very quickly it would take three weeks for a letter to be relayed from mount vernon to philadelphia to quincy. so it was plagued with miscommunication so john adams s did not want alexander hamilton in command and tries to find ways to get out of it. why didn't he want him a second in command? he knew he had conspired against his election in 1796. that he and his wife don't believe alexander hamilton resembled a caesar and then to have this fear publicly but george washington makes clear he will resign if he doesn't get his way so alternately adams does have to give way in washington gets his man. so much for the former presidents not meddling with their successors f. >> as an aside adam was so touchy later he cuts off all communication with jefferson and refuses to communicate directly with him and would only do so through abigail a

jon mchenry, who's vice president of north star opinion research, a conservative focus and survey groupident taking part in further press briefings. there has been a lot of advice saying, mr president, you need to be very circumspect about it. you can tell that he was very much on the script, he brought in a lot of ceos and business leaders to talk about how the country is united in this fight, it is notjust the administration working on this, it isa administration working on this, it is a group of companies, a lot of business leaders thank their employees. they wanted to spread credit around today. once the press got an opportunity to ask questions about an hour, he did get into ita about an hour, he did get into it a little bit. it has been pretty strong, telling, looking at approaches to the coronavirus, whether they support the democratic governor in some states. very locked based partisanship, most republicans inked the way the president does. even to the point of trying to explain a way, the thought you might inject into your system to try and kill the coronavirus. many are asking

today i had community banks and credit unions, along with ranking member patrick mchenry with me, to make sure the banks were handling the -- and answering other questions. doing my jobs, looking after my constituents, being involved, knowing they can reach me, using the resources of my office to problem solve and being right in the middle of helping develop policy that will be beneficial to my constituents and to our country. president trump has given us a great opportunity. as members, we are on the phone with steve mnuchin, secretary , talking about agriculture and farm issues. i live in a relatively rural district. agriculture is our number one industry. , thef these things president's handling of the crisis has been very hands-on, accessible read we are getting answers and rising to the occasion. >> as governor wolf begins the process of reopening, do you think what is viable in the ninth district will be different in philadelphia or pittsburgh in terms of the reopening of pennsylvania, and applying that other states around the country? >> perhaps. it will be data driven, scienc

i have kevin brady, patrick mchenry, [inaudible] them all say something after i go through and we will take questions. these are individuals who are rankers on a lot of different committees. even though we are not in washington right now, i want to let you know that we continue to work through. there is a lot of work happening with our response to this virus, and i want to walk you back through, remind everybody of the three major bills that we have passed to help defeat this virus. first we passed the $8.3 billion formergency funding, testing, treatment, and telehealth. telehealth is very important as we go through to combat this. second, we passed the families first coronavirus response act, which included extending sick and family leave. it included free coronavirus testing, and last week, even though the democrats had held that bill up, unfortunately, i know a number of people probably had been laid off simply because that was held up too late, how fast we could move, we passed the largest relief package in american history, $2.2 trillion. small business grants, direct payments to
