TRILLION DOLLARS RICHER IN THE
LAST YEAR, SOME TEND TO THINK
IT’S THE LEAST THEY CAN DO.
I’M SO EXCITED TO SAY THAT
JOINING ME NOW IS MASSACHUSETTS
SENATOR ELIZABETH WARREN.
SENATOR, I’M SO EXCITED TO HAVE
YOU ON THE SHOW THIS MORNING.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME.
I KNOW WE DON’T HAVE A LOT OF
TIME SO I DO WANT TO GET RIGHT
TO IT AND ASK YOU THE FIRST
QUESTION.
I KNOW WE’RE GOING TO GET INTO
FILIBUSTER BUT I DO WANT TO ASK
YOUR COLLEAGUE IN THE LOWER
CHAMBER FROM ACROSS THE AISLE,
CONGRESS P CONGRESSWOMAN
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE MET WITH
DONALD TRUMP AND SHE TWEETED
ABOUT IT.
SHE SAID SHE A GREAT CALL WITH
HER ALL-TIME FAVORITE POTUS AND
SHE’S GRATEFUL FOR HIS SUPPORT
AND PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY
ARE 100% LOYAL TO HIM.
GIVEN WHAT WE’VE SEEN COME OUT
OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT, I DO
WANT TO ASK YOU FIRST, SENATOR,
DO YOU FEEL SAFE WORKING ON
CAPITOL HILL?
>> I AM VERY WORRIED ABOUT
WHAT’S GOING ON, NOT JUST ON
CAPITOL HILL BUT ALL ACROSS THIS
NATION.
THE CONSPIRACY THEORISTS, THE
WHITE SUPREMACISTS, THE PEOPLE
WHO ARE TRYING TO STIR UP AND
FOEMT REVOLUTION AND VIOLENCE.
WHAT DEEPLY TROUBLES ME IS THE
REPUBLICAN ELECTED OFFICIALS WHO
ARE NOT OUT THERE DENOUNCING IT,
OR NOT SEPARATING THEMSELVES,
BUT INSTEAD ARE QUIET ON THE
SUBJECT OR ACTIVELY TRYING TO
BRING THESE PEOPLE IN.
SENATE REPUBLICANS NEED TO STEP
UP.
THEY’VE CAN STEP UP RIGHT NOW BY
VOTING IN FAVOR OF CORONAVIRUS
RELIEF.
>> WELL, THAT BRINGS ME TO MY
NEXT QUESTION, A LOT OF SENATE
REPUBLICANS HAVE COMPLAINED
ABOUT IT.
THEY THINK THE RELIEF BILL IS
TOO BIG.
SO IT LOOKS TO ME AT THIS POINT
ON CAPITOL HILL YOU CAN EITHER
GO BIP OR BIPARTISAN.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IT WILL BE?
>> MY VIEW ON THIS, ALL OF A
SUDDEN THE SNADENATE REPUBLICANS
SAY IT’S TOO BIG.
I’M SORRY, WE’VE GOT TENS OF
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE OUT OF WORK,
TENS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ON
THE THRESHOLD OF LOSING THEIR
HOMES, 23 MILLION PEOPLE WHO
CAN’T PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE.
AND REPUBLICANS WANT TO SAY THE
PACKAGE IS TOO BIG?
REMEMBER WHAT THIS PACKAGE IS
ABOUT.
IT IS ABOUT HELPING THE PEOPLE
WHO NEED IT, PEOPLE RIGHT HERE
IN AMERICA WHO NEED THAT HELP,
FAMILIES THAT NEED THAT HELP.
IT IS ABOUT MAKING SURE THERE IS
MONEY FOR VACCINATIONS SO WE CAN
STEP UP PRODUCTION AND GET THOSE
VACCINATIONS DISTRIBUTED ALL
ACROSS THIS COUNTRY TO MAKE US
SAFE.
AND IT IS ABOUT GETTING OUR
SCHOOLS OPEN AGAIN.
THREE PINS PALRINCIPAL PARTS THA
IN THIS RELIEF PACKAGE AND THE
REPUBLICANS, WHAT, DON’T WANT TO
DO IT?
DON’T WANT TO HELP PEOPLE IN
TROUBLE?
DON’T WANT TO HELP GET MORE
VACCINES OUT THERE?
DON’T WANT TO GET OUR SCHOOLS
OPEN?
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?
>> SO THAT BRINGS ME TO MY NEXT
QUESTION, WHAT IS THE BIGGEST
HURDLE?
I’M OFTEN BATTLED.
WHEN I THINK ABOUT THE PERSON
WATCHING, I THINK THE PERSON WHO
CAN’T PAY THEIR RENT, I THINK
ABOUT THE PERSON WHO IS LIGHTING
CANDLES AT NIGHT BECAUSE THE
LIGHTS HAVE BEEN CUT OFF, I
THINK GOODABOUT THE PERSON WONDE
HOW THEY’RE GOING TO EAT THAT
NEED OR FEED THEIR CHILDREN,
WHEN THEY HEAR THE DEMOCRATS
WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS IS
BIPARTISAN, I HAVE TO WONDER
WHAT IS THE POINT OF HAVING
POWER IF YOU’RE NOT WILLING IT
USE IT, PARTICULARLY AT A TIME
WHEN PEOPLE ARE DESPERATE.
WHAT IS THE BIGGEST HURDLE RIGHT
NOW TO GETTING THIS LEGISLATION
PASSED AND LETTING THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE KNOW HOW SOON THEY CAN
EXPECT RELIEF FROM THEIR FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT?
>> SO, YOU ARE SO RIGHT ON THIS,
TIFFANY.
LOOK, I HOPE THE REPUBLICANS
WILL JOIN US, BECAUSE LET’S BE
CLEAR, IT’S NOT JUST DEMOCRATS
WHO ARE SUFFERING.
IT’S DEMOCRATS, REPUBLICANS,
INDEPENDENTS, PEOPLE WHO DON’T
CARE ABOUT POLITICS AT ALL.
WE NEED EVERYONE TO HAVE THE
HELP THAT THEY NEED.
WE NEED THEM TO GET VACCINES.
WE NEED TO GET THESE SCHOOLS
OPEN.
BUT IT’SF THE REPUBLICANS AREN’T
GOING TO DO IT, DEMOCRATS GOT
ELECTED NOT JUST TO STAND AROUND
AND DEBATE IN WASHINGTON, THEY
GOT ELECTED TO DELIVER.
AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE
