No deal, with millions of unemployed americans growing more desperate, congress is at an impasse on how to help. Now the president says hell act alone. Im taking executive action. Weve had it. Is it legal and will it work . Ill talk to House Speaker nancy pelosi and President Trumps chief economic adviser larry kudlow next. And grim prediction. Health experts project 100,000 more deaths this year as coronavirus spreads and state officials scramble to gain control. This virus has a mind of its own. We have no idea of how its going to progress. A leader whose false positive test result kept him from meeting with the president this week. Ohio Governor Mike Dewine ahead. Plus, face to face. Presumptive democratic nominee joe biden narrows in on his search for a running mate. The latest on his vp shortlist ahead. Hello. Im dana bash in for jake tapper in washington where the state of our union is confused and angry. It is difficult even to fathom the number of americans suffering from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. Nearly 5 million of them have now tested positive for the virus, and 162,000 are dead. More than 7 Million Students are starting the school year with Online Learning only. And more than 16 million americans are unemployed. And after two weeks of negotiating, Congressional Democrats in the white house could not reach any agreement to help those American Families who were struggling just to put food on the table. At this point, lawmakers have no plans for further talks. President trump who did not attend those negotiations, spent the long weekend at his golf resort in new jersey said yesterday that he would bypass congress to sign an executive order, to consider halting evictions, deferring student loan payments, reallocating monies so that governors could partially replace the extra federal unemployment benefit that expired last month, and temporarily suspending the payroll tax. But already there are lots of questions about how effective those actions will be and whether or not theyre even legal. Last night one republican senator criticized the president for ignoring congresss role with, quote, unconstitutional slop. Joining me now is Top White House economic adviser larry kudlow. Thank you so much for joining me this morning. I want to start with the president s claim that unemployed americans will get 400 per week in unemployment assistance. But lets talk about what the executive action really says. Americans only get money if, a, a governor asks for it, b, if the state kicks in 100 for each person each week. But many states, as you know, are really struggling to make ends meet. So lets be clear, no unemployed american is going to get an extra penny unless their governor asks for it and can afford it. Is that right . Well, look. Dont forget, please, the state Unemployment Benefits continue. Theres no effect on what they do. And you are correct. For an extra 100, we will pay threequarters and the states will pay 25 . And i think the way this is going to work out, we have additional funds that we will repurpose for this. This is an essential item. Weve tried to get it through the Democratic House for, i dont know, two or three times. And its going to be a form of economic assistance, probably youll get 800 total, federal and state. And if we get it going september 1st, which is what the deadline looks like, thatll probably give the workforce an increase in wages. What do you mean 800 total . 1,200. Well, at a minimum, we will put in 300 bucks and the states will continue with their 400 bucks. But i think all they have to do is put up an extra dollar and well be able to throw in the extra 100. So it should be may not be in every case because, as you know, were talking averages. Some states higher, some states lower. But on average, dana, itll run to about 800. But the executive action says 400 and that the state would pay 25 of this. Youre talking about some other money that i dont know about. Well, we will stand ready to repurpose if states put in a little bit more is all it amounts to. Right now that numbers around 700. I think theyll get to 800. Some states can get positive 800. The key point here is that its a wage increase, dana, of about 1,200 for the last four months of the year. Thats a big pay hike. Not only does that reward the heroes who have been working. I think its an incentive to get more people to want to come into the workforce. We need a bit of a reality check here. You do agree that the only way this of this could possibly happen is if the states actually ask for it and create a whole new system. And is that what your expectation is . Thats like topping it off. State benefits, were talking about averages here across the country. But state benefits run about 300, 400. Were just talking about the enhanced unemployment benefit. Lets leave that out of the conversation. Thats correct. So for 100 bucks addon, we will put on 300. What makes you think that states have that 100 a week per person who is unemployed in their state to even put into this potential pot of money . Well, i think they will be able to make room. Our estimates from the Treasury Department in terms of c. A. R. E. S. Act one was that the states have not spent all the money that was allocated to them and that there is considerable overflow that they could make use of. We are going to operate on the same principle in the executive order. We will be repurposing funds from other areas. Have you so based on our estimates, the states will be able to provide the extra 100. And that will gross up the whole benefit to something on average of about have you checked with the states, how many of the 50 states and d. C. And other territories say that they are going to be able to pony up 100 a week per unemployed citizen . Good question. Well probably find that out today or tomorrow as we make our canvas. Weve been in touch with them. We have very good records coming out of the Treasury Department. But we will be in touch so you dont know yet . The president didnt know the answer to that before he made his announcement . Well, look. At the moment, we know the money probably a good 80 to 100 billion was not spent. So we think thats distributed across the 50 states should be ample. Well find out the exact specifics today and tomorrow. I want to remind you of something that you said about this kind of move just this past week. Listen. We got to fix and extend the unemployment issue right now. I dont think that can be done administratively. I think that requires an act of congress. So, the whole question of whether theres the money for this to work is one, but what even you, yourself, said is whether its even legal. Do you think it is . Well, im not the lawyer, and i probably spoke out of turn there because i worked all week with our counsels office and they proved to me that we could use the stafford emergency act and that we could repurpose funds to do that. So i probably shouldnt have said that. I was thinking at that point we might be able to get a deal with Congressional Democrats. As you know, we were unable to get that deal. We tried a couple times. We offered compromises. We couldnt get it. So the president decided to take action on his own. Of course, i think he was right to do so. When the lawyers gave me a green light, then, sure, no problem. We have a lot of the president has said for four or five months regarding this whole virus emergency crisis, and so forth, he said we will use every power the federal government has to help out. And i think this is an example of that. So you do think this is a real power . Because theres a big question about whether he way overstepped his power. I understand there will be a debate. Im not the lawyer so i cant give you the final word. But counsel Pat Cipollone has gone through it with a finetoothed comb. And he believes we can do it and we are going to absolutely do it. We will begin i believe this will begin effective august 1st actually. One quick other question about this apparent unemployment plan. Weve talked to experts about this who say that even if this did happen that it could take months to get this new system up and running. Do you agree with that . I dont. The Labor Department working with the states believe it can happen much, much faster than that. Mind you, all the federal money we had been putting in was running through the state systems. So those systems, which needed some reform and needed some updating to be sure, those systems are in much better shape today. So when will people see their first checks . I dont want to be specific as you might hold me to it, as you should, but i think its going to be in a couple of weeks, and i think its going to come to about 1,200 per person. Thats a huge you keep saying 1,200 per person. Are you talking about in addition to the unemployment that theyre already getting . Oh, no. Thats the payroll i beg your pardon. 1,200 will come from the payroll tax. Okay. Were going to get to that. Because theres a lot of numbers here and its a little confusing. It should be go ahead. It should be 800 bucks. I beg your pardon. It should be 800 bucks for the unemployment. 800 or 400 . It should be 800. If the states step up, were prepared to match, that should come out 400 federal, 400 states. Okay. Well move on because i think this is not what the president said and its a bit confusing, and i think the fact that its not entirely known is very telling. I want to talk about evictions, mr. Kudlow, because the president claimed that hes protecting americans from eviction. But thats not what this document says. It says that agencies should consider whether halting eviction stops the spread of covid and tells treasury to identify money to help renters and to promote their ability to avoid eviction. This is not a freeze on evictions. This is a memo asking his cabinet to study it, right . Well, it gives the Health Department it gives Health Secretary alex azar and the cdc a lot of power if they are concerned about community spread, for example, they will trigger actions that will prevent evictions. And i think in most cases i mean, we did not, fortunately, we did not have much forbearance and eviction from the first c. A. R. E. S. Period, the last three, four months. But if i got an eviction notice and i listened to what the president said yesterday, i think i am not going to be evicted. But thats not what this executive order actually says. Do you agree with that . No, not exactly, because, again, the Health Secretary has the authority working with the cdc to declare it an emergency. And therefore there will be no eviction. Yes or no . Does this freeze evictions, prevent evictions, period, full stop as the president said yesterday . It will. It absolutely will. All that has to happen were setting up a process, a mechanism. I cant predict the future all together. All the federally financed single families and multifamilies will be covered as they have been. With respect to the additional population, again, if hhs declares emergencies, then evictions will be i just want to know it uses words like consider, identify, promote, review. Theres nothing that actually says a landlord cannot evict a tenant. But lets move on because i really want to talk to you about the payroll tax cut. This is another part of what the president talked about. Lets start with the fact that it doesnt affect 16 million americans who are currently unemployed and arent on a payroll to tax, right . Lets start there. And i also want to talk about what you said in 2011. You wrote that a payroll tax cut is a, quote, very weak need economic stimulus and a lackluster job creator. So were you wrong then, or are you wrong now . Now, look, all i was saying then is stronger tax cut measures that would have bigger effects throughout the economy. But when i said that, you couldnt foresee whats happened with the virus and covid. You just couldnt foresee that. Now, look, at this point, as i said, it would probably be worth 1,200 per worker. And in terms of the number of workers, yes, we are running somewhere around 15, 16 million unemployed. Weve had a 9 million increase in jobs and a big decline in the Unemployment Rate to 10. 2 on the friday numbers. And we are in, i believe, a strong selfsustaining vshaped recovery. Okay. Well, you say that. And its better than it was, but just remember we are at a place right now where the Unemployment Rate is still at the height it was in the Great Recession of 2009, as you well know. Its still pretty bad. I understand. 30 million americans dont have enough to eat. On this payroll tax question but, dana, i want to make sure, i understand that, as ive said many, many, many times, there is still plenty of hardship and there is still plenty of heartbreak in these numbers. That, by the way, is why we are driving forth with Administration Executive actions to provide unemployment assistance. And with respect to the payroll tax, basically were giving 140 some odd Million People who work through this pandemic, theyre heroes. Were giving them about a 1,200 wage increase after tax. Mr. Kudlow and i think that is vitally important. You say were giving them that. But as you well know, in the constitution it says the power to tax is a power of the congress of the United States. How on earth is the president unilaterally making a decision on taxes constitutional . Well, look. Its a deferral. Its not a tax rate change. I understand it will be challenged in the courts. Well see what happens. A lot of this, dana, has to do with repurposing. We have a lot of extra money that has not yet been spent. Thats part of the negotiations. The Supreme Court has permitted us in the past, particularly regarding the wall between the United States and mexico, to allow repurposing of funds. And we believe the Treasury Department has authority to suspend tax, not permanently well, not permanently, but the president said explicitly that if he gets reelected, he will make the payroll tax cut permanent. As you well know, these funds go into and help pay for Social Security and medicare. The president promised many times Social Security and medicare. Isnt that exactly what he will be doing here . No. He will protect Social Security and medicare. How does he do that and cut payroll taxes at the same time . Well, hang on. When he referred to permanent, i think what he was saying is that the deferral of the payroll tax to the end of the year will be made permanent. It will be forgiven. The tax is not going away. Well, he said he would do away with it if he gets reelected. It was a new campaign pledge. No. I think that he was referring doing away with it. I believe he was referring to doing away with the payback of the deferral. And i think his intent here and its written in the eos very clear that we will take any steps possible to forgive this deferral. Thats what he was actually saying. Okay. I just want to say thats what youre saying . That is not what the president said at all. He said the opposite. Just real quick its in the executive order. People arent reading the executive order. They are listening to what he said. I think he meant the deferral would be forgiven. I think he was saying that the savings on the deferral will be permanent. Okay. He did not say hes eliminating the Social Security tax. Thank you for clarifying that for me. Thank you for joining me this morning. I appreciate it. Thank you. The top democrat in the negotiations responds to the announcement. Plus, the president says states dont have enough money to pay americans 100 more a week. Is that true . Well ask ohio Governor Mike Dewine about that claim and about his positive test for coronavirus, which turned out to be negative. Stay with us. Mmemorating bizarrs that farmers has seen and covered. Had a little extra time on my hands lately. neighbor and that . burke oh, this . Just an app ive been working on.

Yesterday, President Trump accused democrats of being unreasonable to push for 3 trillion in Economic Relief for americans and said his four executive actions will, quote, take care of pretty much this entire situation after congressional talks broke down. Joining me now to respond is the democratic speaker of the house, nancy pelosi. Thank you so much for joining me. Let me just start with what just happened in my interview with the president s chief economic adviser larry kudlow. He said that the white house didnt know how many states would contribute to the president s plan to supplement Unemployment Insurance or how long it would take for those payments to kick in. Whats your response . Well, first, good morning, dana. Its nice to be with you on a sunday morning. Let us all be prayerful that we can meet the needs of the American People, especially as we all watch the angst that is associated with sending children back to school. What the president s adviser said really shows weakness and meagerness in what the president proposed. First of all he is saying states have the money. No, they dont. They have expenses from the coronavirus. They have lost revenue. Because that far they are Firing Health care workers, first responders, teachers and the rest. Sanitation, transportation because they dont have the money. Second of all, everything is left out. Our assistance to the schools, feeding the hungry, helping people who are going to be evicted. The president s moratorium, he just did a study to look at a moratorium. Somethings wrong. Either the president doesnt know what hes talking about. Clearly his aides dont know what he is talking about. Or somethings very wrong here about meeting the needs of the American People at this time. Well, lets talk about what he did do or what he said he did with these executive actions. Are they legal . And if you dont think they are, are you going to sue to block them . Well, the fact is, is that whether theyre legal or not takes time to figure out. I associate my remarks with what the senator says, theyre unconstitutional slop. Right now we want to address the needs of the American People. As my constitutional advisers tell me theyre absurdly unconstitutional. But right now our focus and thats a parallel thing. Right now the focus, the priority, has to be on, again, meeting the needs of the American People sufficiently allocating resources to send children to school, not threatening schools that if they dont have actual attendance, they wont get the federal dollars. So given that, are negotiations going to resume . Well, i hope so. Look, we have a big difference, and heres why. For example, millions of children in america are food insecure. And their families as well. But i always like to focus on the children. In our bill we have tens of billions of dollars to address the hunger needs in our country. Which are there normally but exacerbated during the pandemic. We have tens of billions of dollars. They have 250,000. So do they care . I have a prayer that i say, lets pray for those who are hungry, lets pray harder for those who will not feed them. Then we go to the princeton lab, eviction lab says we need resources, there are going to be this many millions of evictions and the president is going to study it, look at it. So given that you are the speaker of the house, you have enormous power. Given what you just said about people hungry and worried and very, very fearful, why not get back in that room and come up with a compromise on some of these core issues . I understand. I understand you want to get the best possible for people, but at some point you got to work with the other side, right . Well, thats right. And thats why we said well come down a trillion, not that we cut out any of our priorities but we shorten the length of time in which they would be in effect. And next year we can extend them again. And they could i mean, tons of trillions, 60 trillion actually, 250,000, theres a long way for us to come together. But well come down a trillion, you go up a trillion, well find our Common Ground here. Lets go to the table. Okay. We cant accept what they have why are you guys working all weekend then to try and figure that out . We cant accept the meager pass that they have there. And, by the way, this is really an issue that takes a lot of our time. Opening up our schools. We have data that shows that if you open up actually, if you open up virtually and if you open up hybrid, it costs just about the same amount of money. Of the hundred Largest School districts, 62 are open 100 virtual. And yet the president is saying unless you open up actual, were withholding federal dollars. So i want to talk specifically about this extra 600 a week in Unemployment Benefits that expired. Extending 600, quote, does not make sense now. Youre Standing Firm on that 600. Are you insisting on that as opposed to having a compromise with the republicans so that people out there who are hungry who desperately need that money could get something rather than nothing which is what they have now . Well, lets just say that the 600, many economists tell us that that has kept many millions of people out of poverty, a. B, what they put on the floor of the house Senate Last Week was 200. Okay. So you have 600, they have 200. What about 400 . What the president proposed yesterday at his country club surrounded by his people who must have spent thousands of dollars to join, is something that wont even work. He is talking about, well, ill put up 400 and the states will put up 100. Which is questionable. Im talking about doing it the right way. Im saying that what he put forth is not even workable. Would you do 400 extra . Im not negotiating that right here. It depends on what else legislatively . It depends on what else is in the bill. When they had 250,000 for food, nothing for elections, withholding funds from schools who want to open up virtually and the rest. Again, no money for those who will be evicted because thats the same kitchen table. I either get this money and can help me pay the rent or i dont get this i understand. And i get no money to pay the rent. I understand you dont want to negotiate with me. But my question is are republicans right when they say you will not come off of your 600 number. You will not come up of other figures, other policy initiatives that you want . And thats why youre at stalemate . Thats not why were at a stalemate. Were at a stalemate because the republicans have, from the start, never understood the gravity of the situation that we are in. They have called it a hoax. Theyve called it, theyre delayed, denial extortion of this pandemic. We cannot open our economy or our schools safely unless we address the pandemic. So, the basic thing is they have ignored that. The problem has grown. And it has become an Enormous Economic problem. Do you take responsibility, madam speaker, for the fact that this is stuck . Other economists have said pay now or pay more later. So what were saying is lets help those who need it the most, lets send our children safely to school. Lets make sure they have food, make sure their families are not evicted. But right now they have nothing because those things expired. Well, what do you think they could get out of a 250,000 food designation in the republican plan . In other words, you are acting as if there is some great big thing no, im asking if there is room for compromise on your end. Of course there is room for compromise, but you have to see so i want to ask about that. The next spending deadline, as you know better than i, for congress to take action is september 30th. So is it possible that americans will have to wait until late september, almost two months from now, without any congressional relief . The september 30th to do what . Im sorry. So thats the next deadline, when you all have to act. Is it possible that this stalemate is going to last until then that people arent going to get relief from you all in congress until then . Those are two separate issues. What we do on the appropriations process to meet our fiscal year deadline is one thing. So youre confident youre going to get back to the table and figure this out . Well, we have to. And thats why we were willing to say well come down a trillion. That doesnt mean the needs of the American People have gone down. It just means that we recognize that we have a disdain for the needs of the American People. Thats why they question whether people even need the 600. They say to me some people just dont want to pay rent. And were like most people do. I really want to ask you about something different, but its so important, and that is the security of american elections. Top Elections Official in the office of the director of National Intelligence revealed on friday that russia is using a range of measures to primarily denigrate former Vice President joe biden, while both china and iran dont want President Trump to win reelection. You suggested in a statement that the threats posed by these three countries are not equal. Tell us more about that, please. Theyre not equivalent. And thats why leader schumer, chairman schiff, and i dont know what they call him in the senate, i think its vicechair of the intelligence committee, warner, have sent a letter to them saying the American People need to know what russia is doing to what can you tell us . We can tell more than what the Intelligence Community put forth. They responded positively, put more information out there, but there is more that needs to be put out there. No sources and methods, nobody understands better than us. Can you lean into it a little bit more for the sake of voters wondering whats going on . Well, i cant divulge that is classified. But i will say this, that for some reason they have tried to have some equivalence. I take second place to no one on my criticism of china for over 30 years. Ive said to my staff the other day they say im the most disliked american in china. They say no, they say youre the most hated american in china because of their human rights violations, their trade policy, their proliferation of weapons. But i have no take no criticism for saying this, but the chinese, what they said is china would prefer joe biden, whether they, do thats their conclusion that they would prefer joe biden. Russia is actively 24 7 interfering in our election. They did so in 2016, and they are doing so now. And they say that to a certain extent what they need to tell the American People more, the American People, i believe, think they should decide who the president of the United States is, not Vladimir Putin making that decision for us. Speaker of the house, nancy pelosi, i really appreciate you coming on this morning. Thank you, dana. Thank you, and good morning. He tested positive and then negative for coronavirus. So what does that say about the accuracy of testing in america . Ohio Governor Mike Dewine joins me next. Its Grilled Cheese time. Yeah, its time for Grilled Cheese.

This week republican Governor Mike Dewine of ohio became at least the fourth person to test positive for coronavirus before meeting with President Trump. But later that day the governor took another test that came up negative, and another test yesterday also negative. Joining me now is ohios republican Governor Mike Dewine. First of all, governor, thank goodness that youre okay. Were glad that youre healthy. But what i want to ask you about is about this experience you called it scary. And what i wonder is whether it gave you a greater appreciation for the panic and confusion that americans feel because the testing situation is so inadequate. And specifically about the plan that you have. There are millions of antigen tests that are out there. And people are concerned about them. But youre obtaining with a group of six other states the ability to do more of them. Do you still have that plan even though you have your own personal experience about how inadequate that test is . Well, first of all, i talked with larry hogan this morning. And we were just talking about that. And i think what people should not take away from my experience that testing is not reliable or doesnt work. What i took was, as you pointed out, an antigen test, which should be looked at as a screening test. 1. 3 million ohioans have taken pcr test. That test is very, very, very reliable. And so that is the diagnostic test. Thats the test that weve been using in ohio. The antigen tests are fairly new. And the companies that are coming out with them, quite frankly, have the burden of showing, you know, how good they are. Could they be used in some situations . Yeah, they could be, but you have to understand going in that you can get the false positives, like happened in my case, or you can get the false negatives. Despite what happened . Okay. Go ahead. All weve done is weve said lets group together, lets put our purchasing power together, not just potentially for antigen tests but maybe for other things as well. So we are taking this one step at a time. What we saw the other day, certainly, if anyone needed a wakeup call with antigens, how careful you have to be, we certainly saw that with my test. And were going to be very careful in how we use it. Certainly did. I want to ask you about the executive action signed by the president yesterday after negotiations collapsed on capitol hill. He claimed that what he did yesterday gives 400 in weekly payments to americans out of work, extra. But in order to qualify, states like yours have to be willing to pay a quarter of that. Listen to what the president said. States will be asked to cover 25 of the costs using existing funding such as the tens of billions of dollars available to them through the Coronavirus Relief fund. States have the money, its sitting there. So, governor, are you going to set up that new program, request this money, and can you even afford your share of it . First of all, were reviewing this now. We have set some money aside, a significant amount of money for testing. Testing is going to be very, very important. So the answer is i dont know yet. But i want to say i want to thank the president. Look, the president had a difficult situation. Hes got a blunt instrument. And thats the executive order. Hes trying to do something. Hes trying to move the ball forward. But i think what really needs to happen is Congress Needs to get back in and negotiate you and i were talking off air. I spent 20 years in congress. And many, many time its looked like it was absolutely impossible. Democrat versus republicans, somebody in the white house. Nothings going to happen, and then, boom, at the last minute, it happened. So im confident that congress can do something. They really need to do it. They need to pull together. I think, dana, we need to look at this as if we are at war and throughout our history when weve had foreign invader, we pulled together democrats and republicans. We have an invader. And that is this virus. Im confident that they can do that. Okay. Optimistic. Just to be clear, people in your state of ohio, they were watching the president yesterday. They think that theyre going to get, if theyre unemployed, an extra 400 bucks coming their way. What youre saying is that is not clear and it might not happen. Were looking at it right now to see whether we can do this. And one of the things that we looked at is our economists looked at what has happened, specifically in regards to ohio. But that extra money, we know, went to people who really needed it, enabled them to buy groceries, enabled them to do their rent. The other benefit it had, frankly, is they went out and spent that money, as you would expect. That money circulated in the ohio economy. So it mattered a lot. So whether or not its 600 or 400 or where that figure should be, i think Congress Needs to get back at it. I talked to rob portman. And rob had a plan some time ago that seemed to me to be a compromised plan which gave people a money but also gave them an extra incentive to go back to work. Theres got to be a middle ground. You would think that there would be. I want to ask about the money for states, which is a big holdup between the two sides. The president said yesterday that what he did takes care of the situation. But, more importantly, he said the democrats are holding out for funding for states like yours because its a bailout for democraticrun states. Youre a republican, you run an important state of ohio. Could you use the money that theyre talking about . Yeah. Im not sure whats been going back and forth. I cant follow every day. Ive got a state to try to run here.

So far, what weve seen in your state is every ohio state can vote by mail. Politico is reporting that the white house is weighing executive action tosses curb mailin voting. President insists it leads to widespread fraud. Do you agree with that . I can only speak to ohio, we have long experienced in voting by mail, no reason, for four weeks can get absentee ballot, its worked exceedingly well in ohio, can also go in and vote. I think youll see more of that because of the coronavirus and people not wanting to go out. We have long experience doing that in ohio. Youre comfortable with that . No fraud. Im comfort. You always have to worry with fraud, be vigilant. We have a great secretary of state and local boards, democrat and republican checking on each other. Its going to work.
