WEBVTT

00:01.306 --> 00:03.412
WE’LL GET TO BILL KARINS IN A

00:03.446 --> 00:04.191
MOMENT ON THAT.

00:04.193 --> 00:06.334
A LOT TO COVER THIS MORNING.

00:06.368 --> 00:07.672
WE’LL BEGIN, THOUGH, WITH THAT

00:07.673 --> 00:09.364
GROUP OF 10 REPUBLICAN SENATORS

00:09.398 --> 00:10.927
WHO WILL MEET WITH PRESIDENT

00:10.928 --> 00:13.341
BIDEN AT THE WHITE HOUSE TODAY

00:13.343 --> 00:15.591
TO DISCUSS THEIR COUNTEROFFER TO

00:15.592 --> 00:17.552
HIS NEARLY $2 TRILLION ECONOMIC

00:17.587 --> 00:19.672
RELIEF PROPOSAL.

00:19.706 --> 00:22.242
THE GROUP OF MOSTLY MODERATE

00:22.243 --> 00:24.294
SENATORS OUTLINED THEIR PROPOSAL

00:24.329 --> 00:26.077
IN A LETTER TO THE SENATE

00:26.112 --> 00:26.553
YESTERDAY.

00:26.555 --> 00:28.679
THE REPUBLICAN OUTREACH IS AN

00:28.681 --> 00:30.935
ATTEMPT TO PREVENT DEMOCRATS

00:30.969 --> 00:34.007
FROM USING THE PROCESS OF

00:34.041 --> 00:35.782
RECONCILIATION TO PUSH THROUGH

00:35.816 --> 00:37.133
BIDEN’S PROPOSAL WITHOUT ANY

00:37.134 --> 00:38.559
REPUBLICAN SUPPORT.

00:38.592 --> 00:40.921
THE $600 BILLION COUNTEROFFER IS

00:40.956 --> 00:44.070
LESS THAN A THIRD OF WHAT THE

00:44.104 --> 00:46.091
PRESIDENT IS PROPOSING.

00:46.092 --> 00:53.152
IT INCLUDES $160 BILLION FOR

00:53.186 --> 00:55.945
VACCINES, $4 BILLION FOR

00:55.946 --> 00:58.169
ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE AND HELP FOR

00:58.171 --> 00:58.805
SCHOOLS.

00:58.806 --> 01:01.421
IT DOES NOT MENTION DEMOCRAT’S

01:01.456 --> 01:02.853
PRIORITIES LIKE STATE AND LOCAL

01:02.888 --> 01:03.323
AID.

01:03.324 --> 01:05.350
CHUCK SCHUMER HAS ALREADY PUSHED

01:05.384 --> 01:07.789
BACK TELLING THE NEW YORK DAILY

01:07.823 --> 01:09.469
NEWS, QUOTE, THEY SHOULD

01:09.503 --> 01:12.435
NEGOTIATE WITH US NOT A TAKE IT

01:12.436 --> 01:14.273
OR LEAVE IT OFFER.

01:14.308 --> 01:15.547
KASIE, WHAT’S HAPPENING HERE?

01:15.582 --> 01:16.962
PAUSE OBVIOUSLY THERE’S A LOT

01:16.997 --> 01:19.045
THAT NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED IN

01:19.047 --> 01:20.985
TERMS OF RESPONSE TO COVID.

01:21.019 --> 01:23.055
AND PRESIDENT BIDEN SEEMS TO BE

01:23.089 --> 01:25.761
COVERING THAT, YOU KNOW, FROM

01:25.795 --> 01:28.269
SOUP TO NUTS ON TRYING TO GET

01:28.304 --> 01:30.595
THE TRAIN BACK ON THE TRACKS OR

01:30.629 --> 01:31.826
ON THE TRACKS IN THE FIRST

01:31.827 --> 01:32.508
PLACE.

01:32.509 --> 01:35.033
BUT ARE THEY TRYING TO PUT IN

01:35.068 --> 01:38.575
TOO MUCH OF BIDEN’S AGENDA IN

01:38.610 --> 01:39.268
THIS BILL?

01:39.270 --> 01:39.549
.

01:39.583 --> 01:40.809
>> THAT’S THE QUESTION HERE,

01:40.810 --> 01:41.093
MIKA

01:41.094 --> 01:41.505
MIKA.

01:41.507 --> 01:43.255
OF COURSE BIDEN, BIG PICTURE,

01:43.290 --> 01:45.857
COMES INTO OFFICE AND HAS TO

01:45.891 --> 01:47.291
GRAPPLE WITH MORE CRISES THAN

01:47.326 --> 01:49.314
PERHAPS ANY OTHER PRESIDENT IN

01:49.315 --> 01:51.913
THE LAST CENTURY.

01:51.915 --> 01:53.515
AND THEY TRIED.

01:53.549 --> 01:55.737
I THINK THEIR GOAL BY PUTTING

01:55.771 --> 01:58.133
OUT A BILL THIS BIG WAS TO TRY

01:58.134 --> 01:59.819
AND ADDRESS AS MANY OF THOSE

01:59.820 --> 02:00.978
PROBLEMS UP FRONT AS POSSIBLE.

02:01.013 --> 02:02.781
BUT IT’S LEFT REPUBLICANS

02:02.782 --> 02:07.295
LOOKING AT IT AND SAYING IS A

02:07.329 --> 02:09.730
$15 MINIMUM WAGE PART OF AN

02:09.732 --> 02:10.716
EMERGENCY RELIEF PACKAGE.

02:10.751 --> 02:11.972
IT’S A POLICY DEMOCRATS HAVE

02:12.007 --> 02:13.160
BEEN PUSHING FOR MANY YEARS.

02:13.161 --> 02:17.681
THEY SAID, LOOK, IF YOU WANT TO

02:17.682 --> 02:19.572
DO THIS BIPARTISANSHIP PITCH

02:19.606 --> 02:21.200
THAT YOU PITCHED DURING YOUR

02:21.201 --> 02:22.502
CAMPAIGN, WE NEED TO HAVE A

02:22.536 --> 02:22.809
CONVERSATION.

02:22.844 --> 02:23.894
JUST HOWEVER BIDEN IS DOING

02:23.928 --> 02:25.720
THIS, HAVING THEM DOWN TO THE

02:25.754 --> 02:27.718
WHITE HOUSE, IS DIFFERENT THAN

02:27.752 --> 02:28.932
WHAT WE SAW WITH PRESIDENT

02:28.933 --> 02:29.345
TRUMP.

02:29.379 --> 02:33.177
THE QUESTION, HOW IS BIDEN GOING

02:33.212 --> 02:36.329
TO INTERACT WITH THEM?

02:36.364 --> 02:38.758
HOW DOES HE DEMAND THE CAUCUS.

02:38.792 --> 02:39.321
NO.

02:39.356 --> 02:42.276
WE WAITED FOR DEALS TO BE DONE

02:42.310 --> 02:43.660
WITH US UNDER THE OBAMA

02:43.694 --> 02:44.440
ADMINISTRATION.

02:44.441 --> 02:45.913
THEY DIDN’T DO IT.

02:45.948 --> 02:47.262
WE NEED TO MOVE AHEAD.

02:47.297 --> 02:48.448
REPUBLICANS USED THE PROCEDURES

02:48.482 --> 02:50.424
A COUPLE OF TIMES UNDER THE

02:50.426 --> 02:51.816
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION AND THEY

02:51.850 --> 02:53.644
DIDN’T BLINK TWICE WITHOUT DOING

02:53.679 --> 02:54.960
IT WITHOUT DEMOCRATIC VOTES.

02:54.994 --> 02:56.633
SO THAT’S WHAT HE IS GOING TO

02:56.634 --> 02:58.051
HAVE TO BALANCE TODAY.

02:58.052 --> 03:00.155
>> JONATHAN, THIS IS SUPPOSED TO

03:00.189 --> 03:01.748
BE A BIG PAGE TURNER FROM THE

03:01.749 --> 03:02.660
TRUMP WHITE HOUSE TO THE BIDEN

03:02.694 --> 03:03.530
WHITE HOUSE.

03:03.564 --> 03:05.955
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT JOE BIDEN

03:05.989 --> 03:07.826
CAMPAIGNED ON AND PROMISED IN,

03:07.828 --> 03:10.377
YOU KNOW, ON THE DAY THAT HE WAS

03:10.411 --> 03:12.920
ELECTED IS THAT HE WOULD BE A

03:12.955 --> 03:14.572
PRESIDENT FOR ALL PEOPLE, EVEN

03:14.607 --> 03:17.381
PEOPLE WHO DIDN’T VOTE FOR HIM,

03:17.382 --> 03:19.484
AND THAT HE WOULD TRY TO BRING

03:19.485 --> 03:21.175
BIPARTISANSHIP BACK TO THE WHITE

03:21.209 --> 03:22.262
HOUSE, WHERE BOTH SIDES DEBATED

03:22.296 --> 03:22.698
ISSUES.

03:22.699 --> 03:23.917
AND THEY WENT THROUGH THE

03:23.918 --> 03:24.337
PROCESS.

03:24.338 --> 03:28.112
SO THE VIEW FROM THE WHITE HOUSE

03:28.147 --> 03:30.560
ON THIS MASSIVE PILLBILL IS WHAT

03:30.594 --> 03:32.194
>> MIKA, YOU’RE CERTAINLY RIGHT

03:32.195 --> 03:32.905
ABOUT THAT.

03:32.906 --> 03:35.040
MY COLLEAGUES AND I LOOKED AT IT

03:35.075 --> 03:36.352
THIS WEEKEND.

03:36.386 --> 03:38.754
BIDEN REALLY FRAMED HIMSELF AS A

03:38.788 --> 03:40.541
CANDIDATE, AS SOMEONE WHO COULD

03:40.542 --> 03:43.671
BRING THE PARTIES TODAY,

03:43.705 --> 03:45.663
TOGETHER DOWN THE TEMPERATURE ON

03:45.697 --> 03:46.314
DONALD TRUMP.

03:46.348 --> 03:47.778
AS SENATOR AND VICE PRESIDENT

03:47.812 --> 03:49.027
WOULD WORK WITH REPUBLICANS.

03:49.029 --> 03:50.661
HE WAS BARACK OBAMA’S LIAISON TO

03:50.695 --> 03:51.523
THE HILL.

03:51.524 --> 03:53.087
IT WAS HIS DEALINGS WITH LEADER

03:53.088 --> 03:55.678
McCONNELL THAT REALLY GOT A LOT

03:55.712 --> 03:56.897
OF THINGS, FISCAL CLIFF, DEBT

03:56.931 --> 04:00.062
NEGOTIATIONS DONE FOR THAT WHITE

04:00.063 --> 04:00.666
HOUSE.

04:00.700 --> 04:03.453
AND HE HAS BEEN INDEED WORKING

04:03.487 --> 04:05.794
THE PHONES TO SENATORS OF BOTH

04:05.796 --> 04:07.322
PARTIES, IT SHOULD BE NOTED, IN

04:07.357 --> 04:08.067
RECENT DAYS.

04:08.068 --> 04:10.222
CERTAINLY THERE IS ALSO A NEED

04:10.256 --> 04:13.945
TO KEEP SOME MODERATE DEMOCRATS

04:13.979 --> 04:16.470
IN LINE.

04:16.471 --> 04:18.909
MANCHIN, SINEMA, FROM WEST

04:18.944 --> 04:20.412
VIRGINIA AND ARIZONA IN

04:20.413 --> 04:20.675
PARTICULAR.

04:20.676 --> 04:21.296
THEY WOULD LOVE TO HAVE SOME
