before and see palosi of the democrats will act off we need more time to take more time but we have to have a bill and we cannot go home without it things are pretty out of control the rival parties are blaming each other joe biden is promising that he will turn things around however there's a strong amount of opposition to the measures he's already proposing even before he takes office quite a problematic and serious situation here in the united states. say let's keep attention stateside because us president elect joe biden has unveiled his latest round of cabinet picks they include yet another obama era official tom vilsack culture secretary for secretary of agriculture nominee tom vilsack an outstanding 2 term governor of iowa the best secretary of agriculture i believe this country's ever had he was there with the great recession was probably ruin america. over 8 years you oversaw a record breaking investment to bring us back. you know as joe biden was alluding to the former governor was agriculture secretary under barack obama his tenure was plagued by accusations that he favored

might not be safe so not only has mike pence and his wife gotten the vaccine but we now know now to palosi the house speaker as well and we know that president elect biden will be getting it on monday they're trying to project optimism something that dr anthony found she is suggesting can happen as well well things are dark in the numbers of infections are high he says that there is hope. the sweetness is the light at the end of the tunnel which i can tell you as we get into january february march and april that light is going to get brighter and brighter and the bitterness is going to be replaced by the sweetness and we all hope and i think this is doable that by the time we get to several months into this year we will have enough people protected that we can start thinking seriously about the return to normality of course still concerns about the economy and people's jobs and time is running out for congress to a another government shutdown. that's right the economic recovery is going to take much longer than getting america vaccinated and a lot of it has to do with politics you know bef

palosi and the democrats will act for need more turned on lou take more time but we have to have a deal and we cannot go home without it things are pretty out of control the rival parties are blaming each other joe biden is promising that he will turn things around however there's a strong amount of opposition to the measures he's already proposing even before he takes office quite a problematic and serious situation here in the united states people are kind of confused about what exactly to do. to protect themselves you know also when i think many americans don't like to be told what to do so they've restrictions and they continue to violate the restrictions and by their doctors or by using some of the states are stretched you know beyond capacity following every holiday there's a there's a small surgeon and now it's a pretty big surge after thanksgiving there's still a significant portion of our population that doesn't get what's happening. while the u.s. is happy to resort to emergency authorization when the pandemic as quickly as possible europe is a caution with ahead of its medici

of just one of the georgia runoff elections in january they will control the senate which means up palosi and biden will have to negotiate with mcconnell and i think that's what's going to happen is that the fiscal stimulus at that point will be a lot more targeted and will hopefully go like you mentioned to those sectors of the economy that need it and that makes economic sense because poor people people with lower disposable income tend to spend it so it has more stimulative effect if it's given to people with lower incomes if you give it to people with higher incomes they tend to save it right which is which is not what you want in a recession or potentially a double dip recession so i think it will happen. what are your thoughts on this i mean if it happens what should it look like. well like i said i don't agree that consumption drives growth and savings and investment that drive growth and for that reason and size redistributing money and then giving it out to people is simply sort of us a form of double spending i think we should do is nail the current meter then there is evidence

ourselves the bipartisan compromise that was originally put forward during the fall was rejected by palosi own chris who it's been rejected several times for several months now this is far less than democrats had hoped for that number of $108000000000.00 is there any possibility that you think this will pass. it's just i mean. yeah it's really just guessing it's going to cross or not i think something's going to happen and some party's going to give us and we started to students you know want to want to make something happen. you know i'm going to see something that's what it's it's going to be just said he will speak to a speaker nancy pelosi this afternoon so i'm sure we'll will hear something even if nothing comes out of it only restart negotiations much like we followed through a few months ago that really got us know where christy i do want to ask you about the price to reach a new all time high it was above 900900 or 89200 summer 1st after nearly 3 years it did come back down a little bit on this tuesday what do you make of this what's next for recording. all but one of the entire co

and i can tell you that having the politicians even if they are bipartisan because we know now see palosi the house speaker has also been vaccinated americans don't trust their politicians so that's hardly the reassurance they're looking for they feel that the politicians lie to them all the time so why would they be lying about this vaccine too so you can see the challenges here but in the midst of all of this what i can tell you is that in fact this is going forward and the goal is to try and have millions of americans vaccinated by the middle of june that is when they feel that they'll be able to approach not the 70 to 80 of herd immunity but at least the benchmark of trying to get things back to normal thank you well wolf is a professor of epidemiology and that's not columbia university she says the fines on madonna vaccines are very similar. there are very few differences between these 2 vaccines i think there are more similarities certainly near and then differences they work equally well or and they also have a very similar safety profile they both require 2 doses to be vaccinated

moment there are a lot of people on the left who feel that now that word is taken for granted and palosi has called herself a progressive a lot of people have called them so the progress that it has become a reprinting a new wing of the democratic party one that isn't really challenging the status quo politicians even if you look at the squad they're not really challenging nancy pelosi when it comes to the dismal stimulus package she just pushed out which basically cut the money and have from what was initially going to happen so there is a huge fracturing in the progressive movement it is a lot of people voted for joe biden thinking that they were making damage and in my personal opinion i don't see it was worth it i don't know we are seeing joe biden fill his cabinet with people that are diametrically opposed to everything for growth of their sense of value whether that's medicare for all whether that is you know cutting the pentagon and cutting our military budget. whether it's something as simple as getting a green you deal or any sort of cuts to the environment to the emissions and

trump were on the same page but these seem to be at the moment no of course in the house on monday 90 palosi push through with a 2 thirds majority the idea that this should be a $2000.00 check sent to all americans that qualify for around $160000000.00 of them and then pass that to the senate so all eyes in the senate in the last hour as they gathered what would mitch mcconnell do a big question for him well he's decided that he's going to address that question this week you'll remember that when donald trump signed the corporate relief bill and said he wanted a $2000.00 check to go to everyone he also wanted the senate to look at a number of issues including the liability protection that tech giants have the fact that he claimed there had been widespread voter fraud during the election and a $2000.00 check well mitch mcconnell says they're going to look at those issues this week so does that mean that there's going to be separate bills for each of them or as is more likely is mitch mcconnell going to bundle some of them together almost like a poison pill because we know he's not overly keen
