schumer: ok, good afternoon everybody. just for a moment, before we start, we just passed 150,000 deaths from coronavirus, so i thought we would just have a moment of silence, thinking of those we lost and their families and friends. thank you. now, i'm joined by senators wyden, stabbed now, and brown. americans today are on the precipice of, and in some cases, have already gone over several cliffs, for one reason and one reason alone. the white house and city republicans could not get their act together, wasting precious time. they still don't have their act gather. in my many years and serving in this chamber, i have never seen , thisrity of any type republican majority, respond to a national emergency in such a disorganized and disoriented fashion. it's hurting americans. it's not like they didn't know the deadlines were coming up. democrats in the house passed the heroes act two and a half months ago. instead of coming up with a single, comprehensive bill, divisions within their own party forced republicans to release

tonight, amy schumer and jaime harrison. and now, billy eichner. >> hi, everyone i'm your guest host billy eichner and welcome to another night of entertainment in our disease-ravaged, fascist state. bryan adams once sang "summer of '69" but this is the summer of n95. good evening, welcome to "jimmy kimmel live." now, if you don't know me maybe you're looking at the screen and thinking "did john krasinski have some type of terrible accident?" but no, i'm billy eichner. i'm here filling in for jimmy kimmel tonight because when i think about who deserves two months off from work it's definitely public school teachers and the man who won an emmy for producing a one night reboot of "the jeffersons." of course, i'm here in los angeles, where this weekend i'll be participating in that classic summertime activity: mitigating risk. it's a confusing time here in hollywood. tv and films are slowly ramping up as productions try to answer the age-old question, is it possible to entertain americans without giving a communicable respirato

senator schumer objected to that. so there's no clear message that the american people should receive other than the fact that the democrats are willing to play politics at a critical time in our nation's very dire circumstances as we deal with this pandemic. so i wanted to give you that brief update so you could have it straight from the negotiations as they've happened over the last three days and as we work i'm going to turn it press secretary. i think she's prepared to answer all the questions. ms. mcenany: thank you, guys. i'll take your questions in just a moment. the chief has to run to a meeting. but earlier this week i just wanted to start off with an overview of what we've been doing on covid. the president, rather. president trump visited the great state of north carolina to highlight the important work being done as part of operation warp speed. thanks to president trump's leadership, the trump administration has made substantial investments, including investing in multiple vaccine candidates with several

please welcome amy schumer. how are you, amy? >> ooh! so great. >> billy: sorry, there's no studio audience. >> no. this is better. it's really nice to see you, you know? >> billy: you, too. >> you've been getting us through this pandemic. we've been watching billy on the streets reruns, and it's been such a joy. >> billy: oh, my god. that is so sweet of you. let's get to you. >> i love you. >> billy: it's a night about you. i have to say congratulations all day long. i have been reading rave reviews about this docuseries. i got to see some of it myself. you are, you've always been incredibly honest, brutally honest in a hilarious way, but in this docuseries, you are so open, so raw, physically, emotionally, and i want to know, now that it's getting released into the world, how are you feeling? are you nervous about people seeing all of this? >> i actually, thanks for saying that. i actually wasn't nervous, and now hearing you say all of that stuff now, now i am. now i'm nervous. >> billy: well, good. >> no, i mean, yeah. it's like reall

schumer: mr. president. the presiding officer: the democratic leader. mr. schumer: thank you, mr. president. let me salute senator cardin and senator shaheen for bringing this measure to the floor and forcing our colleagues on the other side of the aisle to relength, who originally, of course, wanted to block this bill all day long. now, it's going to benefit two groups of people. the first, very simply, are those businesses whose businesses have gone bad in the last few months. when this proposal was passed, plain and simple, the economy everyone thought might get better sooner. it hasn't. and there are large numbers of businesses who are going to need to apply now. had this program run out today, they would have been out of luck. now with this renewal, short time, august 8, they at least get the chance to reapply. but there is a second group. this program was rolled out very poorly by the administration. we all know that. we have to come back and -- we had to come back and fix it twice. there are many businesses in new york and elsewhere who applied initially and were rejected o

wyden: leader schumer, thank you very much, and it is a pleasure to be with you to advance the schumer-wyden legislative proposal today. and i'm very pleased that we're joined by senator bennet, a particularly valuable member of the senate finance committee who has worked on these issues for many, many years. as senator schumer outlined, we are talking about a fresh approach as we look to extending super charged unemployment benefits for as long as our economy suffers under the covid-19 pandemic. as the ranking democrat on the finance committee that produced the $600 extra benefit each week until july 31 and the breakthrough to cover for the first time gig workers and the self-employed and part timers and others, i'm going to take just a few minutes to explain why this next step to create a dependable safety net in america is a no-brainer. we know tens of millions of americans are out of work due to covid-19. the pandemic is in fact getting worse. dr. tony fauci yesterday talked about the prospect of having 100,000 new confirmed cases per day nationwide. madam president and colleagues, we do

chuck schumer. but watch what they will say on television. president was willing to continue to go forward to protect those who are unemployeo right now, so we can get people working again, and solve this problem.nsi every single time we work on covid legislation, you know who has held it up? nancy pelosi. remember at her refrigerator when small businesses needed the money for employees? she said no. the very first cares act went forward, she said no and held it for another week. how many more people were unemployed because of nancy pelosi and chuck schumer's actions.ed >> sean: it is unbelievable. what else is hidden in here? lindsey graham said on the radio show and in fact, they actually except for one democrat, they want to permit americans that want to hold china responsible for what they did to the world from doing so. why are theyon protecting china? >> that is the biggest question. i do not know with the s communt party of china have on the democrats, but it is very powerful. it is so powerful that when the chinese are now hacking to

chuck schumer won't say a damn thing because he's afraid aoc is going to run against him so chuck schumerds to vote on aoc's work product. >> sean: joe biden has embraced sanders, ocasio-cortez, the new green deal, some version of medicare for all. amnesty, sanctuary cities, sanctuary states, higher taxes. redistribution, eliminating oil and gas. in 180 days, the american people decide on all this, lindsey. i look at maps like you do and you want to win and you're a republican and you want to be president, you've got to win florida. you've got to win georgia, north carolina, your state, south carolina. you've got to win ohio. then you got to pick up wisconsin, michigan, may be minnesota, certainly pennsylvania. you've got a hold arizona, maybe go for nevada, new mexico. a district known as the congressional district number 2 in a state called maine. >> i think the president has got a good story to tell. nikki said you may not like everything about donald trump and he may rub you wrong but if the other side wins, they are going to destroy your families ability to be safe and be prosperous.

you want nancy pelosi, chuck schumer and biden, 125 years of failure. i will give you the last word quick. i have to run. >> if you want to change and not have speakers before anymore, you need to go to g takethehouse.com. invest in a new generation of republicans and conservatives that believe in the nation and don't believe in the mob. that is your new direction. takethehouse.com and we will guarantee we will win the next election in the next century will be ours. >> sean: thank you for that. 110 days, you're the ultimate jury. major update out of new york tonight. a person of interest has been detained in the horrific shooting death of the 1-year-old. remember florence jones interview the father and the grandmother. this is a tragedy that should never happen in this country. this comes as new york city continues to experience a wave of violence that has only gotten worse. 231% increase in shootings overs 2019. last week alone, 99% of the people involved in these shootings were minorities, african-americans and hispanic-americans. we should do this ho

and doug jones' alabama, take your marching orders from joe biden, nancy pelosi, and chuck schumer and the bartender , aoc and all of the liberal left. in his alabama, the second amendment is a dream. it is just a thought. it is not a constitution of them. by god, they are not taking our guns. [cheers] in doug jones' alabama, vote against conservative judges. people that believe in the constitution, believe in this country. he voted against brett kavanaugh. are you kidding me? we have got to have conservative judges in this country to go by the rule of law. [applause] in doug jones' alabama, you don't work for your state in alabama, you don't work for the united states of america. you spend the first three years trying to impeach the best president we've ever had, and he voted to impeach him. in doug jones' alabama, the rule of law is a mob rule. think about that. rule.mob in alabama, politically correct is the name of the game. i am so sick of that. doug jones' alabama is not the conservative state that we love. embrace and defend. it is a liberal fantasy. a liberal fantasy is what do

i yield to senator schumer. mr. schumer: madam president? the presiding officer: the democratic leader. mr. schumer: just two quick things. first, on what president trump said today. i know my colleague from oregon brought it up. the idea -- once again all he wants to do is divert from his abject failure in the coronavirus crisis. he says, oh, well maybe we won't have an election. that's up to the senate and the house. mr. president, president trump, the election will be on november -- in november on november 3, and you will not change it. stop diverting attention, president trump. that's what you've done for three months. as more people get sick, as more people get unemployed, as we see the numbers we saw today, instead of focusing on all these crazy egotistical and wronghea wrongheaded ideas, focus on covid. focus on testing. focus on unemployment. focus on getting the kids back to school. focus on the so many problems we face and understand the moment and the largeness of this crisis. i say that to president trump. and i say that to my re

you've got biden, schumer, pelosi. that's 125 years of, well, failure alone. now add to that bernie sanders. congresswoman ocasio-cortez. beto, bozo o'rourke. gun czar? his latest policy proposals were literally authored by the devoun socialist bernie sanders. and joe even plagiarized bernie's agenda literally in many instances word for word right out of bolshevik bernie's socialist platform. bernie wants the government to control all means of production. he wants to nationalize industries like they did in venezuela and cuba. he has praise those regimes. by the way, honeymoon and the former soviet union. meanwhile socialist congresswoman ocasio-cortez, she's in charge of biden's climate task force and she wants to ban oil, gas, coal, air travel, and eventually even cows. says we have 12 years and it's all over. her green new deal will cost $94 trillion over ten years. that will turn america into a socialist bankrupt hellhole, and then there is biden's gun-control czar beto bozo o'rourke whose top priority is to literally take your guns away. this is what's at

host: senator schumer profiled nations and how they handled it. "the washington post" looks at two states at how their approach differs, arizona and new mexico. they said it appears both states were in a comparable spots and saw similarly low caseloads. on march 24, with cases taking up, the governor of new mexico issued a stay and in the arizona governor followed suit. on april >> we're going to leave this segment at this point to fulfill commitment to r live congressional coverage. you can continue watching this on our website c-span.org. house about to gavel in. four measures on the calendar repeal cluding one to the president's travel ban. another to remove confederate busts fromtatues and the u.s. capitol. and now live coverage of the u.s. house here on c-span. the speaker pro tempore: the house will be in order. the prayer will be offered by our chaplain, father conroy. chaplain conroy: let us pray. lord, our god, thank you for giving us another day. we ask your blessing on all the members of the people's house during these rare days of comi

pelosi and chuck schumer did meet with mnuchin and meadows there were no details that the republicans have offered because they had not i had out the differences in their own ranks. they have been on the sidelines just saying where is your bill? once you propose something then we can begin peace talks in earnest. all eyes on mitch mcconnell and senate republicans today to see exactly what's in this think of how big it is and whether they can pass it through the senate. >> host: what's the timeline then for the two sides, together and agreeing on one bill? >> guest: that's a great question. that's the million-dollar question. the house the silsby out at the end of this week. house leader steny hoyer, the majority leader, has said we are ready to stay. we probably have to stay the extra week. the thing is supposed to be in the first week of august so given the differences, the level of differences and how much has to be ironed out here, the expectation is that the republicans will probably fight it out between themselves this week and then begin the talks probably by the end of the week

senator schumer said he has been focused from the start on trying to help corporations and executives. and a precipice over two months ago that senator warren and i and then to introduce the emergency rental assistance and stabilization act of 100 million-dollar find more than two months ago. here we are counting down the minutes we never should have been at this point where families are worried they may end up on the street. also it has a wine near moratorium for foreclosures and evictions for all renters and homeowners. sixty-day mortgage forbearance for delinquent borrowers increases 75 billion-dollar homeowner assistance fund to help them pay mortgages and put a roof over their head. assistance for homeowners and desperately needed for renters. that was two months ago. for god sakes it is gross negligence if we don't get this done now to help our fellow americans in need. >> now we will take a few questions. >>. >> we did not get into negotiations. it was not on their list. it was on ours. >> we have a health crisis and economic crisis and the crisis in the values bearing down upo

amy schumer and chris fischer.ost of "the graham norton show," graham norton an all new "closer look. featuring the 8g band with fred armisen ♪ and now, seth meyers >> seth: welcome to "late night. how's everybody doing? today i wrote "look at phone" on a to-do list just so i had something to cross off so, let's get to the news. former vice president joe biden appeared on snapchat's daily political show yesterday although i'm not sure snapchat is a good way to prove you haven't disappeared. that's right, joe biden appeared on snapchat's daily political show yesterday they were only able to tell it was joe biden from the thumbprint the fbi has seized the cell phone of republican senator richard burr as part of an investigation into whether he used information from a coronavirus intelligence briefing to sell stocks. it's also incriminating that right after the meeting, he signed up for netflix and hulu so, he knew something was coming according to a new report, amazon founder jeff bezos could become the world's first

. >> earlier today, house speaker nancy pelosi and senate minority leader chuck schumer held a news conference to discuss negotiations between congress and president trump on additional economic aid in response to the coronavirus pandemic. here's that news conference now.

he's now partnered with schumer and pelosi, 125 years of failure, the three of those. i don't think he can get anybody more left wing. >> yeah. yeah, please, let's stop talking kiabout joe biden as a fake moderate. stop embarrassing yourself, liberal media folks. it's humiliating and you make yourself look silly if you have everyone hunt was he was embarrassed when you say that. second point, bill de blasio must resigned. he's a disgrace to the cosmos, not just the city. anyone would be embarrassed that this h humiliating human being n charge -- the world's greatest city, i grew up there -- just decay. at such a rapid pace. sean, the secret of crime-fighting -- is not really a secret, anyone who has been in criminology or a cop knows, thei sliver of the population commits an overwhelming number of crimes. why does that matter? well, it matters because when you arrest that very small portion of people and incarcerate them, crimes goes down dramatically, which we saw over two decades in new york. we are not seeing that anymore.c i know for a fact this is at the top of pr

schumer: thank you, madam president. now, -- mr. schumer: as the coronavirus -- as covid-19 continues to spread through dozens of states, our country is dealing with multiple crises at this time. today we learn that the most recent quarter was the worst on record for our economy. the problem is not new or surprising. millions of newly unemployed americans cannot go back to work, cannot afford the rent, cannot put food on the table. small businesses are waiting to see if the federal loan program that kept them alive will be renewed. parents are worried sick about their kids returning to school in the fall. state and local governments who fought this disease on the front line when the trump administration refused to give them help are deep in the red and slashing public services, teachers, firefighters, and more. and throughout america, people wait days and days, even weeks, for the results of their tests, rendering the tests almost useless because we don't have an adequate testing program at the national level. this is the greatest p

chuck schumer calling byrd one of the greatest men in history. pelosi calling byrd an american patriot. biden calling byrd the dean of the u.s. senate, a close friend, and a mentor of mine. imagine if donald trump said this about a former -- about a klansman? keep in mind, biden once worked side-by-side with segregationists. this is joe biden's record. in a speech in 1973, then senator biden praising southern democrats and said that the two-party system in the south was "good for the [bleep]." around the same time, biden was actually working with desegregationists. he was slowing and trying to stop integration. opposing school busing. according to nbc news "he led the charge on an issue that kept black students away from the classrooms from whitee students" that's joe biden. that's the democratic nominee. that's hisis history. those are questions the mob have not asked him. in 1977, biden worried that his children would grow up "in a racial jungle" if integration is not done in his orderly way, whatever that means. 1993 referring to inner-city yo

mark meadows says that he and steve mnuchin will be talking more with nancy pelosi and chuck schumer tomorrow. >> we call on capitol hill to get serious about their negotiations. the president is serious about the negotiations. there is no clear message that the american people should receive other than the fact that the democrats were willing to play politics in a critical time in our nations very dire circumstances as we deal with this pandemic. >> that meeting tomorrow will be a 9:00 and will only be mark meadows, steve mnuchin, nancy pelosi, and chuck schumer. no staffers. they are hoping that the chance to get together just the four of them might move the needle. and bill, i don't think that it's a whole lot of optimism that it will. >> bill: something has to move eventually, wright, john? florida will temporarily close, covid-19 testing sites, the hurricane approaches the southeastern coast, phil keating reporting live from cocoa beach, florida, what are you picking up on today? at afternoon. >> good afternoon, here over the by hamas and hurricane hunters who flew over the syst

how much worse off this nation would be under biden, pelosi, schumer regime. it is reporting to remember that biden is in his basement. he is in his basement be early because he is concerned about his ability to make it through an interview. but also because he doesn't want to talk with a socialist agenda. we have seen consistently over the course of the last several months, since he secured the nomination, that he is put together task forces that are coach heard with bernie sanders officials. people who are tied to bernie sanders. that is never been happened before. well that is going on, while you have socialist policies that the vice president will one day say he doesn't agree with and the next he will say he does, you've seen real progress from the republicans and from president trump on key issues. like holding china accountable, making historic progress on operation warp speed, all of the debates and discussions and challenges we are facing around the pandemic and economic devastation required that we develop and manufacture and distribute vaccines. that

you going to be saying that chuck schumer might criticize me therefore i have to pass a law that makes it easier to simply talk you're going after a republican on fox on the issues not playing a game of gotcha like dickinson did and the others with pence that's tucker carlson . ted rall is a syndicated political cartoonist and columnist and author of a brand new book political suicide the fight for the soul of the democratic party now we claims he was fired by the l.a. times back in 2015 because the l.a.p.d. wanted it out and ted joins us now ted welcome back to the show sir thank you steve . all right so you recently wrote a letter to the executive editor of the los angeles times and i want to read a little bit from that letter to begin with the times should come clean about its longstanding cozy relationship with the l.a.p.d. it should end this deep conflict of interest which makes it impossible for your paper to report objective way about the police when the media fails to hold the police accountable they are free to abuse the citizens they are supposed to protect my case shines a l

but then the actor we have seen before, mcconnell, pelosi, schumer.o at some point, i suspect we will have a meeting at the white house which will probably productively go sideways. you want to keep those five folks in a room injecting the president into these talks. we have seen that the last couple of times, and inevitably it causes a negative tape. that could also be a positive. we will see how it unfolds. i would say that this has a lack of urgency that the previous negotiations had, and i think some of that is because we are not opening limit down every morning anymore. jonathan: we need to market to do the hard work. it is depressing. chris, thank you, sir. tom, it is depressing because it is kind of true. it is just absolutely pathetic. the only thing holding this labor market back right now is the pandemic. if you and i wanted to go for a meal friday night like we used to, go inside a restaurant with the air-conditioning, guess what? we can't. it is the virus holding back the labor market, not the $600 enhanced and implement benefits. thathilo

beto o'rourke, pelosi, and schumer. i've never seen a candidate go hard or left because he needed to shore up his base. >> it's robert francis or rourke. it's interesting to me , about the surplus military equipment bid he's being asked s receiving surplus military equipment, and he said something that i think it's really far out there. he says, surplus military equipment for law enforcement, they don't need that. they show up with an armed humvee and it makes them look like in military, and they become the enemy. while, look, we've seen situations, and you had some of them on your camera on your screen recently in which it was clear that you are walking in with the normal suv or police car was not enough. you needed it in places like portland and seattle to have armored humvees to get in there. what's interesting is he's being interviewed. if the interviewer is a bernie guy. he says, what -- but do we agree that we could redirect some of that funding. >> the keyway atomic what about getting rid of funding biden says ye

you heard from chuck schumer saying it's got to be a comprehensive bill. nbc's jo ling kent is in los angeles. nbc's garrett haake is on the hill. garrett, it sound like the minority leader was drawing a line in the sand. all or nothing. we are not going to take one part of america and say here is help for you, but the rest of you, well, maybe later. >> reporter: democrats are going to be excoriating republicans over the next couple days over their failure to get it together on a relief bill. you heard it from senator schumer saying the reason we're up against this cliff, in specific reference to extended unemployment benefits running out at the end of this month, he says is because republicans have dithered. to that point, even since the republican leader came out last night or secretary mnuchin came out last night, we've not seen text of a bill, and it's not clear that we will see text of a bill on this thursday which is, as we all know, essentially the senate friday. if this slips again into next week when republicans have known for months that this was

chuck schumer is here to talk about that plus, federal agents attack unarmed protesters in portland a navy veteran beaten on camera joins me tonight. >>> and remembering john lewis and all he stood for as democrats fight to save voting rights across america. maxine waters joins me when "all in" starts now >>> good evening from philadelphia i'm ali velshi in for chris hayes. the coronavirus nightmare is getting worse in 40 states across the country, and the president continues to fail in leading the country out of this nightmare. so it's not surprising that the pandemic is the single biggest thing driving the presidential election right now tonight joe biden was trying to fill that presidential void in his interview with my colleague joy reid on her new show "the reid out." and that makes sense given donald trump's disastrous and unprechbtd cross-examination about the pandemic yesterday on fox news and so knowing he's got to turn around america's perception of his coronavirus response donald trump announced he's going to resume his coronavirus briefings this week. remember those he sto

>> sandra, chuck schumer is misleading about what the senate bill will do. we are debating this very nature, it's far more radical and far more sweeping than a handful of bases. it would require the ripping down of war memorials to dead soldiers from the confederacy in arlington national cemetery or fort bragg. and potentially other cemeteries as well. it would require removing artifacts and exhibits for military museums. it would require the removal of paintings of battle scenes from the civil war from west point and other military installations. that is a sweeping, sweeping proposal that is a little more than historical vandalism. i don't think the president will have to act on that veto threat, and i hope you won't because i want to change that legislation to ensure that we don't take such radical, radical steps. >> sandra: before i let you go, where is their common grou ground? should those military bases be renamed? >> i think we should take the time in a deliberate and thorough fashion to study the question. we should get the input o of the who have se

schumer: mr. president, i am going to ask once again that our republican colleagues support the heroes act. this is a dramatic crisis affecting all of america in many different ways. we democrats have come up with a bold, strong plan, supported by the vast majority of people, average middle-class people. our proposal deals with the issue of unemployment all the way through january 31. not a one-week stunt which can't even be adapted in time. our proposal deals with schools and their ability to open. our proposal deals with small businesses. our proposal deals with so many of the issues facing america. our colleagues on the other side, we know, are tied in a knot. our colleagues on the other side can't come to an agreement on anything. they did an empty shell bill because the only thing they could support was an empty-shell bill with nothing inside of it. well, that's not what the american people want. they want action. i would urge the republican leader to start negotiating in good faith and in se

here's senate democratic leader chuck schumer. >> they have been so divided, so discuss organized, so unprepared that they have struggled to even draft a partisan proposal within their own conference, they can't come together. chris: won't millions of

senator schumer chairman lindsey graham released the documents to the public. in a statement to fox news, mayor's perko strzok's attorney said "the statement represents another attempt by president trump's congressional lackeys to use pete's work product. pete's comments on inaccuracies were nothing more than a dedicated counterintelligence professional diligently vetting public reports of intelligence information." the declassification comes as john durham continues his probe into the origins of the russian investigation. >> i think the american people expect indictments. i expect indictments based on the evidence i've seen. it's all starting to come unraveled, to unravel and i tell you, it's time people go to jail and that people are indicted. >> doj official tells me to expect the durham report to be complete before the end of the summer, that's two months from today, and the clock is ticking. >> bret: more on this with the panel. david, thanks. in tonight's democracy 2020 report, joe biden is laying out new plans to spend millions in taxpayer dollars if he'

tonight, amy schumer and jaime harrison.ner. >> hi, everyone i'm your guest host billy eichner and welcome to another night of entertainment in our disease-ravaged, fascist state. bryan adams once sang "summer of '69" but this is the summer of n95. good evening, welcome to "jimmy kimmel live." now, if you don't know me maybe you're looking at the screen and thinking "did john krasinski have some type of terrible accident?" but no, i'm billy eichner. i'm here filling in for jimmy kimmel tonight because when i think about who deserves two months off from work it's definitely public school teachers and the man who won an emmy for producing a one night reboot of "the jeffersons."

i'm going to talk to chuck schumer next. >>> we have some breaking news now. the nfl now says that fans who attend games in person this fall will be required to wear face coverings, though it's not clear how many teams will even host fans this season. the season is set to kick off on september 10th, at least as of right now. in our politics lead, president trump will be back in front of the podium today after acknowledging yesterday the coronavirus will likely get worse before it gets better. and as cnn's kaitlan collins reports, the new strategy of taking to the podium and trying to sound concerned comes as yet another poll shows the president is trailing joe biden, this time by eight percentage points. >> reporter: after attempts to ignore the pandemic didn't work, president trump acknowledged the grim reality facing the country in his first covid-19 briefing in months. >> it will probably unfortunately get worse before it gets better. something i don't like saying about things. but that's the way it is. >> reporter: the shift was a political calculus by a p

i want to thank my colleague and the leader on the democratic side enter schumer for his pacific, articulate and direct analysis of where we stand today in the united statessenate . with the worst public health crisis in 100 years, faced with the worst economic crisis in 75 to 80 years, the message from the republican side of the eye is think small. feel as little as possible. let's see how this works out. at the time when we have unemployment figures breaking all records, when we have 10 times theunemployment claims in illinois that we did a year ago , 10 times the unemployment claims in the commonwealth of kentucky that they did a year ago, we leinstead are hearing from the republican side of the aisle the problem with our economy is not unemployment. it's the fact that people who are unemployed are being given too much money. right now we have a federal benefit package worth $600 a week. that was enacted in the cares act on march 26 that expires in three days. $600 a week federal supplement over the state payment . what republicans have suggested is to cut that $600 federal supplement to

and nancy pell oosi and chuck schumer, i was at a press conference with them yesterday in the capital rotunda and asked pelosi, is $1 trillion enough? she said it's nowhere near enough. we're now in a pandemic where this is all getting worse. the idea that this will be set and done before the unemployment insurance runs out, i struggle to see how that will happen right now, steph. >> kasie, thank you. >>> joining us now to dig in, democratic congressman, josh gottheimer. another round of stimulus checks and school funding tied to whether or not schools reopen. would you vote for a bill that included any of that? >> that's just the beginning of what we need to do in terms of getting stuff done. the idea of a payroll tax cut, that kasie just praut up, that is spot on, it doesn't actually help people who are out of work, right? it does nothing for them. it puts social security at risk. a lot of republicans are even talking about it being alone, not actually resources that are just given to folks to help stimulate the economy. so i think it's, as was said, the republicans are fighting wit

we have schumer. we have biden. 125 years of swamp failure. they have done nothing to quell inner-city violent crime anywhere in america, nothing to fix the broken dilapidated disgusting and repulsive educational system. they have failed america's children. we have far left mayors. they have ruled the cities for decades. they have completely failed their citizens. the only time they shine a light on someone's death, they ignore the 99.9% of deaths. they only talk about it, cherry pick it if it fits their sick political agenda. hundreds are shot in chicago every single week. same with new york, now seattle and portland. guess what. you think joe biden knows these names? those are our fellow americans. do you think mayor lightfoot knows those names? because only if it helps them politically do they pay attention. so let's be very clear tonight as we begin this week. democrats, they have failed america's cities. decades of rule, decades of failure. they have put ideology over law and order and security and safety. and as a result, our fellow amer

we don't hear bernie sanders speaking outie we don't hear bin pelosi speaking out we don't hear schumerpeaking out. more to your point, do you think now that this very radical element which does not represent the vast majority of americans does not represent vast majority of african-americans and claim to vote but do you think this is a growing element within democratic party and that's why the leadership of the democrat party is giving silent approval really to what they're doing? >> you know, mark, i think black lives matter have dominated social media but they're in the perception is that they control the democratic party. i'm hoping. i'm begging i'm praying that they don't control the democratic party. but the current status right now, it is. it has control of the democratic party and muted democratic leadershipf and democratic leadership is trade one is most insulting they assume they speak for african-americans. let me be clear black lives matter does not speak for leo terrell and there's no representatives, no monolisk group like black lives matter speaks for african-americans. w

but he's embraced bernie, aoc, beto o'rourke, and pelosi and schumer.e's gone hard left. >> i think it's important for the american people to wake up to this new reality that there is no such thing as a moderate democrat presidential candidate. he has made a decision to align himself with the radical left. i asked you out there to read this unity plan. it's about abolishing immigration detention. it's about ending deportation. it's about open borders. it's about defund the police. it's about abolish i.c.e. the list goes on and on. it's about tax hikes for americans which impact 82% of americans. we are in a new reality with the democrat party. joe biden knows he has got to pivot to the far left in order to keep his base settled. even the burning people don't like biden. >> sean: they still don't like him. >> normally when you're in a general election you should run center. that's not what joe biden is doing. he's running to the far left. >> sean: if you're going to give advice, you're both very smart political operatives. ari, we will start with you. le

right now, chuck schumer is addressing the g.o.p.. >> provide money to pay their rent or that mortgages of those thrown out of work for no fault of their own with no income. the heroes act provides $100 billion, $75 billion for homeowners to pay the mortgage. it would prevent another housing crisis in america. the republican proposal, assuming they even address housing issues, would only delay a catastrophe a few months. and of the greatest efficiency in the republican proposal may be their plan for unemployment insurance. according to reports, the white house wants to extend the enhanced benefits for democrats in the cares act but only provide a percentage of the workers former wage. there are four reasons this is a terrible policy. first, it would hurt the unemployed. if you lost your job through no fault of your own, republicans say take a 30% tax cut. sorry. if you've lost your job through no fault of your own, republicans want you to take a 30% pay cut. can you believe that? you lost your job, you can't get to work. the administ
