Ranking members and chairmen of all the ranking committees worked together to get this done. The key elements are still there, its Unemployment Insurance for americans, including 600 plus to be able to go through the process. There is support for Small Businesses that will actually pay the payroll. We dont want individuals to end up on Unemployment Insurance. Its better if they stay connected to their same company. Theres a unique new proposal that will say a Small Business can go to any bank rapidly to be able to get a loan there which will convert into a grant if they maintain their current employee numbers. That keeps people connected to their business and keeps people assured of a job at the end of all of this when it all finishes it out. It is a Grant Program for larger businesses thats designed to say if youre a very large company, youre not going to get a grant, youre going to get a loan through this process. At that moment you will get a loan and if you dont have capital or access to it right now because of what is going on, you could get that. This also has a feature built in where individuals will receive a check for 100 to give support to people all across the country. All those features were in the bill. There have been tweaks, some or democratic colleagues wanted changes, many of those changes have been heard and added and some we said, absolutely not, its not connected to covid19 at all. There are some things our democratic colleagues wanted to make sure they got in and through all of the negotiations some of these things were changed. For instance, they really wanted to medicare sure that Energy Companies couldnt get any support so they fought hard to make sure there is no additional money for the president buying Additional Oil to put in the Strategic Petroleum reserve at the lowest price now so it will actually cost us more money in the future, but it was their intention to say we dont want Oil Companies to get any kind of support in this downturn the they wanted to make sure there wags great transparency they so built an Inspector General and a bunch of different people to watch the treasury through the process. They put in a neat feature that they demanded and that was no son or daughter or Family Member or any individual that works with the presidency or vice presidency or the congress could get any of the grant not the Grant Programs, but the loan programs. No soninlaw could get that. I wonder who that could be targeted towards. A particular soninlaw that might be there. Literally a lot of this fight that weve had over the last three days is because they were demanding that there was no way that the president or any of his family could get any kind of loan or benefit from this loan at all. So we spent three days three days of delay because they had some additional demands for some things they wanted to do, significantly targeted a lot of the president and his family. I understand they dont like the president. I get that. We want to do everything we can to be able to protect the workers, thats why we put in the work and the bipartisan work to get it done. Its done now. Lets get it going. Our encouragement is to have the house finish it up as quickly as possible and be able to get the support to the american people. Whats been interesting, though, is in the speeches that i heard on the floor today from my colleagues and from many individuals in releases that ive seen is folks have mentioned their prayer, they have mentioned with gods help were going to get through this, they have mentioned the struggle that were going through as a nation and how were praying for each other and it keeps reminding me of something. Its a very old solemn, solemn21. When the jews would come into jerusalem, they would sing songs of ascent as they came off the Eastern Hills and start rising up towards jersey lum. The congress they would sing is pertinent, it reads, i lift up my eyes to the mountains. Where does my help come from . I remember the mountains here is the capital city jerusalem, it is the seed of government of worship for them. They would sing, i lift up my eyes to the mountains. Where does my help come from . My help comes from the lord, the maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip. He who watches over israel will neither slumber or sleep. The lord watches over you. The sun will not harm you by day nor the moon by night. The lord will keep you from harm. He will watch over you. The lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forever more. Its interesting to me that the people would come in, marching into jerusalem, the seed of government singing, i lift up my eyes to the mountain. Where does my help come from . My help comes from the lord. Of all of the things going on in washington, d. C. , right now, you will hear people repeating over and over again, our hope is not in government, our hope is not in how much money we can spend. We understand full well when we lift up our eyes to the mountain, to this bill hill, we know where our help comes from. Our help comes from the lord and the presiding officer the senator from arkansas. Mr. Cotton the deadly coronavirus that emerged from china late last year spread across the globe. The Chinese Communist party deceived the world and even their own people
