Threaten the lives of the American People. Then, we have sadness of kenosha, wisconsin. Of jacob blake being shot seven times. There are Public Policies it couldve made a difference in all of this. Let me say three words about the hurricanes and the coronavirus. Three words. Science, science, science. Science of the administration has chosen to ignore and the Republican Party for a long time for the trumpet administration has ignored. The Trump Administration has ignored it. Onlylimate crisis is not having a physical impact, but Economic Impact in a way that is another injustice in our society. Hese people are getting hit the gulf coast, many of them are not in and economic position to survive very well. Virus, in terms of the it is a hoax. Denial, delay, distortion, masks are irrelevant. Why should we have tracing . Social distancing, forget about it. All the rest. The denial of what scientists are telling us that can stop and curtail the spread. The rapid spread of this virus. A Senate Majority leader who says to put things on hold for months with no real respect for the fury virus. In terms of what we hope and pray for. Science being an answer to our prayers. Scenes vaccines, they are based on science. Fda has to the fb be about efficacy not about politics from the oval office wanting speed at the expense of the health and wellbeing and safety of the American People. Cdc for the oval office to be determining what the criteria are for someone being tested. The president doesnt want any more tests, because that tells us we have more cases. The test causing the infections. Really . How unscientific is that . The rejection of science when it comes to the climate crisis. The rejection of science when it comes to the vaccine right from the start. The rejection of science in terms of a vaccine and therapies and the rest of the cdc. The cdc making that proclamation simply because the president doesnt want to know about any more cases. ,ince we passed the heroes act over 100 days ago, Mitch Mcconnell pressed the pause button. Over 4 Million People have been added to the infection list. 82,000 more people have died. Could we have saved all of them . No. But any of them, we could have. Science tells us thats how other countries are dealing and managing this vicious virus. Administration to show its face to any children in our country, i say to you those who support the president , i respect that. I respect if you vote an exercise that. Understand this. He is asking you to put him before your children. He is doing that in the schools by saying he wants to put the bulk of the money into schools that actually open up instead of recognizing the costs to opening up actually, virtually, Online Education and any hybrid of that. Ofnning, when you see that the hundred Largest School systems in the country, 62 of them are 100 virtual as of last week. So hybrid. En or partially virtual. Percentagell actually opening 100 . We all want our children, grandchildren and my case to go to school. Teachers want to teach. But we cannot risk our children of thosed the safety who make schools work whether it is teachers or support staff. But that risk. Put them at risk. The president has just cited and you see at think it was just reversed but the secretary of all then was giving money she was giving to private schools which we want them to protect their children also to discretion about how they spend the money. But not in the Public School system. Wednesday,next september 2nd, a day of action on the part of our members. A day of action to focus on the schools. This is as important as anything we do. The protection of our children. The ability for them to learn, to go to school in a safeway. In a safe way. Whether it is virtually or hybrid. To do so in a weight that has osha protections for the teachers. They are called essential workers the president said. Lets value their safety. By having protections which the administration has rejected. We will have that date. We had a day of action about the postal system because of the president s henchmen trying to somantle the postal system that it would mess up any successful vote by mail. What they did was hurt our veterans. Medicationsthe v. A. Go through the postal system. 1. 2 billion prescriptions went through the mail in 2019. I have said that to you before. It is about medications, Social Security, people paying their bills. They are not getting to the destinations in time for the deadline they are supposed to meet. The response the people got, the delay in the mail that this administration implemented to undermine our right to vote by mail, not having to choose between their health and their got an ear full from all of our constituents. What did they say . We are not reversing any of it. We took in the blue boxes. We undid the sorting machines. Some of them were put out in the rain so they could not be set up again. The American People are not being served by this administration. The misrepresentations, the distortions of the truth and the facts are very sad for the children. Hope that they will recognize that in order for us to open our economy and our schools safely, we must test, distance,at, socially wear our masks, sanitation and the rest. They would only listen to the scientists. In order for our dreams to come true, our prayers to be answered for a vaccine and their piece, they have to listen to the scientists. To listen instead of undermining the fda in a way that is historic in terms of what they are trying to do and a very damaging. Sadly, it will undermine the confidence that people might have in a vaccine when it comes along if they think the efficacy in theety were rejected interest of the president wanting speed. Ancourse, the cdc has immorality. Listen to the scientists. When it comes to mother nature, who is in a mood, the speaking out very clearly. Do something about the climate crisis. Accept the science. The same thing holds true with the viciousness of this virus and the stupidity of this administration to put speed ahead of efficacy, effectiveness, and safety when it comes to vaccines, therapies, and other miracles that we are hoping for. Miracles of science. Any questions . Speaker, [indiscernible] is facing a tough primary. [indiscernible] the ways and Means Committee trumps tax returns what is the argument for voting for him . I am so glad you post that. Is fact is that richie neil the chairman of the ways and Means Committee. He is such an advocate for our country. His personal life is something that i always like to call attention to. As the chairman of ways and means, he has a great deal to say about Survivor Benefits on Social Security and the rest and he knows that well. Because he lived it. His family lived it. He is there for americas working families. Americas families who are impoverished by the loss of a loved one. The breadwinner in the family and the rest. I cant even believe they would say about the tax returns. Been completely strong and toughminded on this. We are at the mercy of the court. Strong and howy he is going forward. He could not do anything more. In fact, when we win this election, and we have a new president of the United States in january, and we have a new secretary of the treasury, and richie neil asks for the president s returns, then the world will see what the president has been hiding all this time. In terms of dealing with the he has been strong doing exactly and what the lawyers say we have to do in order to prevail in the courts. We have to go through the process. For is otheraiting decisions the court has held up. The truck courts have held up decision which then back up other decisions to be predicated. The mccann decision came down in our favorite however, the administration will further appeal. ,hen, we cannot have a stronger wiser, more strategic advocate to get the president s tax returns than richie neil. That representation is based on lack of knowledge of what actually is going on. Probably just an idle political charge. In terms of the climate, i mentioned climate earlier, he has placed in the moving forward legislation our infrastructure ill using the tax codes to save our environment. Read it. It takes us to new heights in terms of how to use the tax code to support Renewable Energy in a way that saves our planet. Brought twoat, he bills to the floor to unleash the power of women as we observed this week. The centennial of the 19th amendment. For us, one manifestation to make a bigger difference, is it makes a bigger commitment to childcare. This pandemic has pointed out clearly that if children can go to school, parents can go to work. Parents cannot go to work. Children learning, parents earning. We need childcare. Y have put together affect richie neil has put together a package of 210 billion. Bigger than anyone ever thought. Transformative in terms of unleashing the power of women. In the heroes act, 55 billion strictly coronavirus centric because everything in that bill is strictly coronavirus. He has been so progressive. When we did the u. S. Mexico agreement with richie neil in the lead, we had unheard of progress in terms of protecting the environment. Progress in terms of protecting americas workers. Keeping theterms of heavy hand of the pharmaceutical industry out of that discussion. We had the biggest vote ever for a trade bill. People who never voted for one who were not agreeing that it was in the interest of americas workers. They overwhelmingly supported the u. S. Mexico trade agreement and we would never have had those provisions to protect americas workers, americas environment, Americas Health without richie kneels strong hand at the helm. To how he involved members be part of the discussion in a task force that he formed to make sure that this would be a template for future. We didnt get everything we want because we had you know what in the white house but it was completely turned upside down what the white house had sent us originally. Richie neil is an absolute leader in the congress. A progressive leader in the congress. Is here aso again our caucus is, we are here for americas families. As such, we will use whether it is the appropriations process, the tax code or our policy to benefit americas working families. Richie has been a champion in that regard. I couldnt be prouder than to speak in terms of the things that he has specifically done that i have seen on a daytoday basis. Tremendous loss to that district to lose the chairman of the ways and Means Committee. Every time i turn around with there iswe are doing, some project of National Significance in his district that seems to have made the cut. He is proud of his district. He is proud of his ingenuity and he makes sure that is recognized in legislation and the congress. You are going to speak with mark meadows today. Up 1 agreed to come trillion . Speaker pelosi let me be clear. If you watch this convention and you hear people say we have to truth monitor because they are not telling the truth, that is the atmosphere which he springs from. When he comes to all of you and says we are trying this and trying that, they are trying anything. We have said to them, we are willing to meet you in the middle. We think what we have in our bill, i speak to them regularly, we are committed to what we have meet the publics needs. That is not what they are about. Understand that. This is a conversation only to respect the fact the president represented, not only the lead negotiator, that would be steven. Nuchin if they are willing to beat us in the middle, then we can sit down and talk. You called me, i am returning your call, are you ready to bring much more money to the table . To honor our heroes, our state and local workers, our health care workers, our first responders, our teachers, sanitation, health care workers. That could be a short conversation if they are not ready to meet in the middle. That should be very short. Hopefully, it isnt. Hopefully, they understand that if were going to destroy this virus, we have to have sufficient funds to do so in terms of testing, tracing, and treating. Unless we support state and local governments, millions more people will be unemployed. Millions. To 2 billionse people have lost their jobs already because of the coronavirus as well as revenue that they have lost. Now, people are losing their jobs. Many more will unless we address the state and local. So many other of aspects of the legislation. Important thing right now, kids are going back to school one way or another. We must keep them safe. We must not say children should take risk. Learn tos do, when you ride a bike you do, no. This is taking a risk with your life and others with what you take home. That is why it is hard to come to an agreement on this. We do not have shared values. I check in with my chairman. They say you have to come down but understand, our number is a defensible scientifically based justification for what the public needs. For schools and the rest or people being evicted or millions of children hungry in our country and the rest. Question,swer your are you willing to meet in the middle . If so, we can have a conversation. If not, i have returned your call. To follow up on that quickly, it has been three weeks since you made that offer. You havent budged and he hasnt budged. How do you break the impasse . Speaker pelosi they have to move. Why should there be a bill that has far less than what the public needs . We have that responsibility. They are just going to have to come up with more money. They didnt mind coming up with more money when they give their tax cut to the top 1 . Of the benefits going to the top 1 that will cost us 2 trillion to the national debt. A burden on our children so the top 1 could get 83 of the benefit. We need a flood of money for this. We have a pandemic. And the bad consequences of the numbers of unemployment today, and they are coming in with an eye dropper. No. Any other questions . One of the items republicans are say about the heroes act is it contains erroneous funds such as money to Illegal Immigrants here in the United States for the what is your reaction to that . Speaker pelosi they are not telling the truth. That speaker, lets not waste each others time. They are not telling the truth. Any other questions . As the candidates begin campaigning, there seems to be a little bit of a difference in the approach this year, electionyear like no other. Some are doing Virtual Events and others are not. It seems like the democrats are leaning towards more Virtual Events. Do you have concerns that there is a risk of not being out there in person meeting the people what do you say about republicans who are doorknocking and taking this approach . Speaker pelosi people have to make a judgment in the region, but if the incidence of infection is low, they may have more capability of reaching out to people. But the fact is can this is a matter of life and death, and the ability to we all would we all draw strength from our contact with our constituents. They are an inspiration. They show us the ramifications of Public Policy and the rest. Initiatives of National Significance to share with others. We all miss that, theres no question. The fact is, we have to protect them. We have to protect them. I would say again, i dont know what the republicans are doing. I have no advice for them except that when they come here they have to wear a mask. Listen to the scientists. The scientists give you the best guidance on how to interact with others, and social distancing is a very important part of it. If the Scientists Say in a particular area that there is well, well, well below 1 period ofover a time, there may be a judgment made for that region. But yeah, we all miss the enthusiasm of people with their challenges and their questions and the restless of since you asked about that, i myself dont tell anybody i cant do this especially dont tell joe biden i dont think there should be any debate. I do not think the president of the United States has comported that anybodyway u. S. Any association with the facts evidence, data, and. I wouldnt legitimize a conversation with him, nor a debate in terms of the presidency of the United States. I know that the Biden Campaign thinks in a different way about this, but i thought what he did in 2016 was disgraceful, s talking Hillary Clinton like that. I was disappointed that the president said go back tearspress didnt say go back to your station. He will probably act in a way that is beneath the dignity of the presidency. He does that every day. But i think he will also belittle what the debates are supposed to be about, and they are not to be about skulduggery on the part of somebody who has no respect for the office he holds, much less the democratic process. Why else would he try to undermine the elections in the manner in which he is doing . If joe biden ask you what i thought about it, i dont think he should dignify that conversation with donald trump. You ask him any questions both of them. Just take their own stage for any number of conversations about any subject, hold them accountable. What are they proposing . What is their vision . What is their knowledge . How are they going to get it done . How do they connect with the American People . Let that be a conversation with the American People, not an exercise in skulduggery.
