whether you're talking about the chairman of the fed, the secretary of the treasury, mark zandi, our economists have said, even the governor of west virginia has said go big rather than go small. that's what we have to do. it is a reasonable plan. it meets the needs. it is not excessive. it is coronavirus centric. it's in a timely fashion. and that's where we have to go if we are going to, again, put vaccines in people's arms, children in school, money in people's pockets, and workers back in their jobs. so it's pretty exciting what he's put there. and what we did at the end of december is approximately what we have been advocating in the heroes act all along, $3.2 trillion. this comes up to nearly $3 trillion. but that's what the needs are. for the republican senators to come in at $600 billion, 1/3. what is it? are we going to feed fewer children? are we going to inoculate fewer people? how do you cut that? i think they have not respected our heroes by supporting state and local governments. whether it's police, fire, first responders, anybody of any kind, sanitation, transportatio

is that correct mr zandi when you talk about infiltration you talk about a large insurrection like we saw in the january 6 know anyone from the department of homeland security contact you about a potential national special security event designation no i'm not aware of anybody from a d h s reaching out no lo and contacted me thank you and stay with me senator no contact with me or my office are all capitol police officers out there with riot gear no they're not sir well and john reed to say thanks huge crowd of mostly truck support to storm to the capitol building the rioters were angry with the results of the 2020 lection and claimed the presidency had been stolen that trump had won the mob faced little resistance from security. dani what adams from the ron paul pieces chant thinks the senate hearings hold little value in this kind of case. i think it is fastening overhead these kinds of hearings with in congress are going to produce very little of any value of the usually involved in covering things up rather than getting to the bottom of things let's not forget from the beginning t

is that correct mr zandi when you talk about infiltration you talk about a large insurrection like we saw in the january 6 know anyone from the department of homeland security contact you about a potential national special security event designation no i'm not aware of anybody from a d h s reaching out no one contacted me thank you and stay with me senator no contact with me or my office are all capitol police officers out there with riot gear no they're not sir. on the 6th of january that crowd or trump supporters stormed the capitol building in washington d.c. many angry with the results of the presidential election they claimed the vote have been stolen didn't they and that donald trump had in fact won but the mob faced little resistance as we saw from security after they broke in. we talked about the senate hearing with experts who agreed it showed a clear lack of coordination than the security response to what happened. they have some very very strong reforms and acted in place specially here to protect and secure the capital where there is not only bit of threat from 911 but pos

you know, i just haven't read anywhere, outside of moody's, i got to be honest i think mark zandi ismocrat than economist. i'm not trying to diss sim, all the reports about higher taxes point to deleterious impact on our economy. should we brace for that soon? >> if you're asking me about their corporate tax increase, that doubles down on you know, decreasing the actual number of jobs out there. it also decreases the dividend. all the money flowing into the market, relative value of companies are going down because of taxes it worsens the potential for a bubble. they just can't add two plus two plus two and get six. it is really absurd. charles: do you think, anyone in the administration looks at the market? chairman powell of the fed was working overtime, my man was sweating the last two days on capitol hill trying to convince everyone he can contain all this. obviously the market is not sure. they're testing him. i would suspect ecb and fed does something really dramatic soon, capping yield or negative rates. do you think anyone in washington is looking at the market as some sort o

mark zandy, former advisor to john mccain said, you don't need a textbook to know this is when you push on the fiscal accelerator. we cannot afford more delay tactic, another lapse in unemployment assistant or another moment of inaction. this plan is what our economy needs. and it's what america needs. bold, urgent action. let's pass this rule and the underlying legislation an let the senate do its job and send this bill to the president's desk without delay. this his poric -- historic crisis deserves a historic response. the american people are counting on us. you know, it is listening to my republicans debate here on the floor and in the rules committee has been a disappointing experience. barely, barely a word of empathy or compassion for those who are suffering. or for those who are struggling. what we have heard is delay tactics, we have heard our distortions. what we have heard is divisive talk. my friends talk about bailouts. this is not a bailout. it is a rescue package. my friends are out of touch with the american people. people are struggling. people right now are trying to f

number of jobs that would be created here these are exclusive numbers crunched for us by moody's mark zandie, he says, according to biden's campaign plan, would create 2.6 million jobs at about $57,000 a piece. infrastructure, by comparison, more bang for the government's buck more than 11 million at a cost of $51,000 a piece jared bernstein told me that perhaps and probably he doesn't think if they pursue infrastructure they would have to exhaust that last chance. >> when we are talking about infrastructure, clean energy, child care, many of the elements of the building back agenda, it is not at all obvious to me that in a has to go the route of reconciliation f. we are accutalking about infrastructure, it is actually pretty obvious the me we probably won't. >> we will see if that's the plan bernstein says the plan is already in the works and expects the recovery portion plan to come out sometime this month. >>> sticking with washington, democratic senators today announcing the safe tech act to reform section 230 with the goal of holding social media companies accountable for enabling quot

economist mark zandi says there are 37 -- excuse me, $57 billion in owed back rent unpaid. one of the best things we have done as a body is to extend the eviction moratorium that the c.d.c. imposed last year. a key piece of the bill we are taking up and debating is to ensure that more americans have an opportunity to safe, sanitary, decent, and affordable housing. before this pandemic, more than 17 million american households spent more than half their money on rent or mortgage. unaffordable to any household, those 17 million households stretched to their limits. the pandemic has made the risk of eviction or foreclosure greater than ever. some know my early years were spent working around issues of housing and homelessness. i served with the national coalition for the homeless in new york and in five other states around the country, staying in homeless shelters in the late 1980's when homelessness was an explosion of crisis across this country that impacted families and communities of all types and backgrounds. people experiencing homelessness are particularly vulnerable to
