00:00We want to put money in people's pockets.
00:02Put it gently, Madam President, that's a completely unhinged position.
00:07I would say there's not an agreement on anything.
00:21At last, we have a deal.
00:30We have a deal.
00:58We are very pleased that we are ahead of schedule on delivering the economic impact
01:03payments.
01:04These were what was known as the checks in the mail.
01:06We expect that over 80 million hard-working Americans will get the direct deposit by this
01:12Wednesday.
01:15Today, House Democrats are introducing the HEROES Act.
01:28Named for our heroes, whose provisions are largely based on the four previous bipartisan
01:33bills we have passed.
01:35We all know that we must put more money in the pockets of the American people.
01:38This is not only necessary for their survival, but it is also a stimulus to the economy.
01:51A $3 trillion wish list slapped together in a clumsy effort to never let a good crisis
01:56go to waste.
01:58This is absolutely unbelievable.
01:59Just a few years ago, the stock market's at $25,000, corporate profits are the highest
02:05they've been in decades, the rich keep getting richer, and our friends on the other side
02:11said what do we do now?
02:12Let's do a tax cut where 83% of it goes to the top 1% of the wealthiest people.
02:19Fast forward a few months, global pandemic, 36 million people unemployed, and the Republican
02:25Party says we don't have any money to help you.
02:29Are you kidding me?
02:43Mitch McConnell says no.
02:45We need a pause.
02:46We need a pause.
02:49Tell that to the virus.
02:51Is the virus taking a pause?
02:53Is hunger in America taking a pause?
03:07What I can tell you without fear of contradiction is any bill that passes the Senate will have
03:11liability protections in it.
03:13It's not just for businesses.
03:16This is liability protection for everyone.
03:18Hospitals, doctors, nurses, businesses, colleges, universities, K-12 educators, everybody who
03:28interacted with this pandemic.
03:45Our work is not done.
03:47Our work won't be done until every single American who lost their job because of COVID
03:51gets back to work.
04:15Taxpayers should not pay people more not to work than people who do go back to work.
04:27That's what we're talking about, taxing essential workers to pay their neighbors a bonus to
04:33stay home.
04:34As of now, we're very far apart.
04:55We want to work on the eviction so that people don't get evicted.
04:56We work on the payments to the people.
04:57And the rest of it, we're so far apart, we don't care.
04:58We really don't care.
