Place in pennsylvania for a recount . Guest it is within good morning, everyone. Here we are five days before the election. On focus has been so largely stopping and questioning the coronavirus. In terms of the election five days from now, we are confident, we are calm, and we are prepared and ready. We are ready to address the coronavirus in a way that is viruson site, crushes the and addresses the impact on the lives, livelihood, and the life of our democracy. We are at a fork in the road. The path we have been on has taken us to a place we are approaching 9 million infections. 250,000 people who have died. Taken us to tens of millions of people on unemployment, eight Million People falling into poverty, 17 million Children Food and. 23 members, one million workers on unemployment. And the situation worsens a free do not change our path. The heroes act has offered a wellfundedebased, that honors our heroes, crushes the virus, and puts money in the pockets of the American People. , thisight or this morning morning, sent a letter to secretary mnuchin spelling out some of the concerns we are still waiting to hear back from the administration. Believe both, i sides have gone to the table to discuss the priorities. Two weeks ago, the secretary said he was willing to accept our testing language and just wanted to make a light touch on the language. Two weeks ago, the light touch was 55 of the language, largely eliminating our initiatives that addressed the disparities of the virus when it came to minority communities in our country. More people in the minority community, i am told, have died of the virus then those not in the minority community. I have said it before, if you are a black child, you have five times more chance to go to the hospital for covid than if you are a white child. Eight times more chance if you are hispanic. Nots sinful that we have addressed protecting the lives of the American People on the ,ath this president has taken calling it a hoax, saying it will magically disappear, the list goes on. Even though in all of our legislation we had talked about tests as being a key to stopping as spread of the virus, so the letter is selfexplanatory, it talks about state and mobile government. A statement that was in the wall street journal, that said state and locals face the cash crisis since the. Reat depression yet, the president box and says this is unnecessary for us to do. Foundand local government this very important to our economy. Honorly that, we want to our heroes. They are there fighting, healthcare workers, police, fire, sanitation, transportation, food workers, our teachers, our teachers, our teachers. And the president says it is a matter of pride that he not support them. Safe schools. Most of the countries in our country could actually be open if we would take the scientific approach. It takes money. It takes more money than they are willing to put up. We are asking for their response in that regard to have workspace , therefore, more teachers, ventilation, sanitation, technology to enable our children to actually attend school. Children learning, parents learning so parents can go to work. And in the absence of that, we also want them to put more money for child care but the children are not going to school, and the parents cannot go to work unless we have or funding for child care, and they only go so far, and that is what we are asking them to go farther. Families aslion these carries benefits fade away , these cares benefits fade away, 8 Million People have fallen into poverty. There is a way out of there, child tax credit, earned income tax credit. These are working, poor people falling into poverty. Yet, the number they gave us back was zero. They admitted that zero is not a number, even though they said they would get back with the number. They dont hesitate to give 150 advantage totax the wealthiest people in our country, and, yet, they refuse to help families. By the way, a look this is stimulus for the economy. There is some question as to whether they care about people. You should understand it is stimulus to the economy. Immediately, and jet demand into the economy, create jobs. That is what has helped the economy, even in this third quarter. Now, that money is fading. Unemployment insurance we are still waiting for some of the response to the 5 million 5 million americans who are exhausting their benefits, osha and liability, safe the in the workplace. It is not a provision safety in the workplace. It is not a provision. It is a value. Workers will be safe in the workplace. Especially in the time of the pandemic, where their exposure to it could not only make them but also their families if they bring that home. We have a list of concerns, just give us your answer. Then you can way the equities weigh the equities and we like this or we dont like this, and come to a conclusion. But we are ready. I feel confident joe biden will tuesday,d president on whatever the end count is, but on the election that occurs on tuesday, he will be elected on january 20 and inaugurated president of the United States. While we dont want to be overconfident or assume anything, we have to be ready for how we are going to go down a different path. We have come to a fork in the road when it comes to the coronavirus. The president has taken us on a deadly path. The heroes act takes us on a scientific path to help save the livelihood in the lives of the American People. It is interesting to see how many people are turning out floating in advance. Whoever they are voting for, it is a joy to behold, people exercising their civic duty, honoring the right they have to vote in our democracy. It is appalling to see the obstacles to participation that the republicans and president are putting in the way, we complain when other governments try to undermine the integrity of our elections or the credibility of our elections. The credit the credibility and integrity of our elections. It is appalling when the president of the United States contributes to that, placing doubt onto the credibility of our election. And to have a president who says he may not accept peaceful transfer of power. All the more reason for us to thank god for the courage of these people going out there to line waiting hours in because republicans refuse to put money in any of the legislation we had had to the extent necessary to make sure that when people vote, there is ample space to facilitate it. It is a discourtesy to the American People to say you go stand in line for hours. We can do something about it, but your time is not worth anything to us. Again, this weekend should be very interesting to see how many more people will blow in advance will vote in advance. I hope you, not depend on the mail because they have done everything they can to dismantle the postal system. I salute our postal workers and letter carriers and to those who are making the best of the situation. Even the Postal Services say it is too late now to mail. A firstclass piece of mail could take more than five or six days to reach its destination it speaks for itself. Here we are. Remarkablearkable, experience that our country has been through. Hundreds of thousands of people dying. Millions infected. Joblessness raging. Up. Rty rates going 17 million Children Food insecure. To Say Something about women, in september alone, nearly one Million People, one million women left the workplace. One million women left the workplace. And what is the president s message to women . We are getting your husbands back to work. Actually, it is not even true. Decadetion to that, what is he living in . What century is he living in . So completely removed from the realities of life, and that has caused death. Any questions . [indiscernible] confident inare joe biden on tuesday. Aboutd like you to talk and dossues that come up you think that could be a problem for the coronavirus or other legislative initiatives with empowerment, voting rights, and if they push too far for more moderate and liberals . Spkr. Pelosi no, i dont. Our caucus has a beautiful array of inking of generational, gender id, ethnic background, geographic differences and the rest. The one thing that unites us is our commitment to americas working families. That means our children, their health, our education, the Economic Security of their families, a safe environment, including gun safety, in which they can thrive in a world of peace and reach their fulfillment. Dont any of us want to lead or represent a caucus that is lockstep, a lockstep caucus. We invite the differences of opinion, and we do not see that as a problem, we see that as an integration. Yes maam. At 33. 1 inmy grew the third quarter, does President Trump deserve credit for that . Spkr. Pelosi the cares act deserves credit for that. We had last ground in the second quarter. This family makes up for that. The cares act deserves credit for injecting resources into the economy, whether it is in a subsequent cares and the subsequent pcp. Someone used an example this morning, if you lost 100 in the second quarter, glory,you are 65 hallelujah, no. Bill dont pass a recovery bill, we will face dire circumstances, as a. Yes as well. Yes, congress and the administration can Work Together in a bipartisan way to pass subsequent legislation to inject resources into the economy. The lack of doing that is time is going to take us back down another path. Yes sir . Thank you, madam speaker. If you are correct that joe biden will be elected, you are a lameoing to confront duck. Later that not argue for you you to take a smaller bill to produce in a lameduck and then a newst when there is president . Spkr. Pelosi we are not talking size. We are talking quality. We are not going to take a small pouring onto bulk the rich people of america while questioning the integrity of unemployment insurance. I want a bill for two reasons, first and foremost, the American People need help. They need real help. Second of all, we have plenty of work to do joe biden in the administration. We are going to build infrastructure america in a real way, make sure health care is available to all americans, lower the cost of prescription drugs, have hr1 right off the bat, cleaner government, to reduce the role of special interest money that prevents us from having policies that the , and we people need have a number of bills we had passed that will be ready. Of course, this will be a path to a joe biden agenda, his build america better is similar to our moving american forward, but nonetheless, we will be working with the white house and congress to get those jobs done. We want to have as clean the slate of possible going into january. We will have to do more on the coronavirus to make sure the vaccine, god willing, will the available and take resources to make sure it is available to everyone and not just those in a position to pay for it. Talking to them if we do not want a bill . Act, whichour heroes the American People need. [indiscernible] spkr. Pelosi like Mitch Mcconnell had. People are hungry. People are on the verge of eviction. People need money in their pockets. We have enormous challenges. They dont believe in governance. They dont like the public rule of helping people, and they dont believe in science. They ignore the recommendations of science or math. Testing, tracing, treatments, separation, ventilation, sandal nation sanitation. We are in a terrible place, and it was a decision made by this president of the United States. We have to have enough money to address that, and we still have not gotten a yes from the white house on that subject. Again, it has to be the quality of what it is. It is not just something to say we surrender. They surrender to the virus. We are not surrendering. How do you think about the increasing corporate taxes given the state of the economy in the first couple months if there is a biden presidency . Spkr. Pelosi why do we wait until we win, have our transition, and the president of the United States puts forth his agenda. Dolways have. That when we major tax i have always thought when we do tax policy, we should do it in the most bipartisan way possible, contrary to the darkest night, speed of light passage of the bill that gave 83 of the benefits to the top 1 in our country, and then they reinforce that in the cares act in the dark of night, as well. It is not a question of having that discussion here. Agreement we is an should have brought down the corporate rates, but we should not have given away the store at the expense of american working families. That is it, thank you. Are you a giants fan . What do you think of the dodgers winning the world series . Spkr. Pelosi i have been a californian all my life. I am happy with it. There,close at the end but it was good. Akers, dodgers it is a great sport because it takes your mind away, forget your differences with other people. In his therapeutic. It not only entertains. What i like about sports, it is about numbers. It comes down to numbers. The numbers, because of this president s failure, are so staggering and sad. It is imperative we act on a different path from where the president is taking us. Thank you.
