Racial unrest, the economic crisis. Their needs are not addressed in the president s proposal. Getting something done before the proposal. Were confirming the judge in an Election Year after the voting has occurred. Health Care Coverage for millions of americans is at stake. We cover it all this morning. A closer look at florida and powerhouse analysis. From abc news, its this week. Good morning and welcome to this week. Two weeks and two days to go in this race for the white house and President Trump down in the polls facing persistent unemployment. A new surge in unemployment cases. Late last night in wisconsin, which set new coronavirus records on thursday and friday he insisted that were rounding the corner on the pandemic. Plus comments on gretchen whitmer. I guess they say she was threatened, right . And she blamed me. You have to get your governor to open up your state, okay . And get your schools open. Get your schools open. The schools have to be open, right . Lock them all up. And we go to our first guest, nancy pelosi. Madame speaker, thank you for joining us this morning. I want to get the latest on the stimulus negotiations, your reaction tonight, Governor Whitmer said this, this is the rhetoric that but the lives of me and other officials in danger. The president has to realize that the words of the president of the United States weigh a ton. And in our political dialogue, to put a fear tactic in there, especially a woman governor and her family, is to irresponsible. People listen to him and people think the president is important. And what he says should be adhered to. And so we have this horrible situation. But the people have awakened to him. 26 Million People already voting. The biggest antidote to his poison is the vote. A lot of americans are hurting as you know, madame speaker. I know you have been negotiating with a possible Economic Relief package. You spoke with secretary mnuchin last night. Are you closer to reaching a deal . Were seeking clarity. With all due respect to some of the people in the president S Administration theyre not legislatures. So when they said were accepting the language on testing, they were making a light touch, changing shall to may, requirements to recommendations, a plan to a strategy, not a strategic plan. They took out 55 of the language that we had there for testing and tracing. And the tracing part is so important. Because communities of color had been disproportionately affected by this. So on this subject where we have agreement, we have agreement in the language yet, but im hopeful. Here is the big difference. Communities of color have more deaths than the white population. This, just think of this, if you were a child, a hispanic child has eight times more chance of going to the hospital with covid than a white child. A black child five times more chance of going to the hospital. That is because we have not addressed the problem. The testing. The tracing. The treatment. The mask wearing. The separation. The sanitation. All that goes with it. So hopefully we can learn from each other. We have pages and pages of how you would do this in the minority community. They put it crossed it all out and they said the government will pay for the tracing, but each stay will establish a strike that appropriate to its circumstances. The cdc can provide guidance to the states on elements, can, no must, but noise that we have to but in addition to that we have to have a national plan. You cannot leave it up to the states. They need a plan to address the minorities. If you dont get an agreement in a 48 hour deadline. The 48 only relates to getting it done before the election, which we do. Dont you . Yes, which we do. But were saying we have to freeze the design on some of these things. Are we going with it or not . What is the language. Im optimistic because we have been back and forth on all of this. You know legislation. Shall is different from may. Shall, the difference amounts to this, if you think of it this simple way. One you say may, youre given the president a yes or a no. If you say shall, we must have it. If you trace, treat, ventilate, sanitize, all of it, we can open our schools and businesses. Even if you reach a deal with the white house around 1. 82 trillion leader mcconnell says he wont put Something Like that on the floor of the senate. He said a number of things and one of the things he said, i think yesterday, but it was important yesterday, is that if the white house and the house come to an agreement that he would put it on the floor. That is among his many statements. Most of the time he spent laughing. Pushing the pause button, telling states to go bankrupt, laughing. In his debate when amy mcgrath said what are you doing about stopping spread of the virus, he laughed. He laughed. This is not funny. The president didnt take it seriously, mcconnell has not taken it seriously. But we can stop this if we follow the science. And be ready for a vaccine that i hope will be soon. You have not spoken to the president in over a year. Are you willing to pick up the phone to close a deal to get this done . Let me say this. It isnt about the president. He says his representative president bush sent his representative. Professionals that know something about the policy. This is not unusual. However, however, i have a great deal of respect for the office that i hold. And i have a great deal of respect for the position that he holds. The president of the United States. This is not a casual conversation. This is about a meeting of the head of the first branch of government, the legislative branch, and the government. If there is a purpose, if there is a stipulation of trying to get something done, then perhaps we take this to that place when we cant solve other problems. But many of you have spent many times calculating how many times the president has misrepresented yes, were going to do this for dreamers. Yes were going to do this on immigration. Told us yes, were going to do this on infrastructure. But then he doesnt. So again, you want to meet with them, you meet with them. As far as im concerned the speaker of the house must be respected in terms of what the terms of the meeting is, what the preparation for, and what the likely outcome of success would be. Are americans going to get relief before election day . That depends on the administration. The fact is that we cannot the heart of the matter is to stop the spread of the virus. Let me speak to you from the standpoint of children. That is my why. That is why im in government and politics. The children, we could, were having a big debate with them now over earned income tax credit. They gave a tax break to the richest people in america. We want a child tax credit, child independent tax credit for the children, 6 million to 8 million kids and people are now in poverty, many of them are children. This will alleviate, take millions of children out of poverty, send them to schools that take money to have the separation, the ventilation, of the number of teachers there to teach them. Have the corrected coronavirus that is affecting black and his panic children in a greater way. That goes back to state and local government. That is the hours of health care, first responders, food, sanitation, there is a oneness to this. I think we can get there. If you think of it in terms of the children. And childcare theyre rejecting our number on childcare which is greatly reduced saying they think childcare people cant go to work if their children cant go to school. Finally, madame speaker, i do have to move on and i want to ask you one final question about judge Amy Coney Barrett. You said democrats had arrows in their quivers. She seems on a path of confirmation right now. Is this a done deal . Well see. Im not in the senate. I talk about how we can win the election. We have to off set whatever this court may do. And the house, the congress of the United States can overturn these bad decisions. For example the court, on the census, the census is a disagreement we have. This is very important, who we are as a nation, and the court just agreed with the president to stop the census. So again, well, because we want to have an agreement, we can come to a negotiation and we can do it now. Whats the difference between a few days, but we could have it before the election. We want it as soon as possible. And i certainly want it because i dont want to have to be sweeping up after this dumping of this elephant as we go into a new presidency in a few short months. Madame speaker, thank you for your time this morning. Were joined now by robin mcdaniel. Thank you for joining us. I know you have been battling covid. How have you been feeling . Feeling great. I was sick. I have asthma. I was on a steroid. I came out of it quickly, on the campaign trail and feeling great. Governor christie is coming up on the program as well. He also battled covid. He came out thinking he was wrong not to wear a mask in the white house. What lesson have you taken away from all of this . I think it is incredibly contagious. I think people are getting sick and they dont nowhere. I think the president , with what he has done with the warp speed vaccines, the testings, they will get us out of the pandemic and the president taking the swift action early on is putting us in a better place to fight the virus. You saw the president s rally last night. You just heard speaker pelosi, should the president talk about Governor Whitmer like that. Should they chant lock her up when she is facing threats like this . The president and his fbi foiled this plot. I think Governor Whitmer is inappropriate to try to lay blame at the president. These were sick individuals. Were glad she is safe and her steam safe. Again lets not he is saying lock them all up. Because of her locking down our state. My kids arent in school. She locked us down. Open it up. Lets not take the rhetoric further. Lets not continue to extrapolate things not being said. What people are saying in michigan, please let us open up, let our kids go back to school. Thats what theyre talking about. She is taking it way too far once again. And the president foiled this plot with his fbi. Thank goodness the fbi did foil the plot, absolutely. One of the things that the governors staff pointed out is that every time the president speaks like this the threats like this go up on social media. Democrats attack us, too, and threats go to us, too. Governor whitmer, we want her to be safe and healthy, and when the people of michigan are saying open up our stay, theyre saying it from an impassioned place. The kids education is failing right now. Figure it out. There is a state responsibility. She is on the sunday shows all of the time. Come back to michigan and fix it for the families suffering under your lockdown. The president getting into it with senator ben sasse. Here is a phone call he had this week. Its not just that he fails our allies, he fails leadership. The way he treats women, spends like a drunken sailor. I criticized president obama for that kind of spending and i mock President Trump as well. He mocks evangelicals behind closed doors. His family treated the presidency like a business opportunity. He flirted with white supremacists. The president responded with a couple tweets taking on the senator. Senator sasse should be next, perhaps the republicans should find a new and more viable candidate. Do you think the republicans should find a new Senate Candidate in nebraska. First i will say that everything that ben sasse said in that reporting does not resemble the president that lead our country out of this pandemic. He lead us to a great economy before this. He has created 11. 4 million jobs. As the second woman to chair the rnc, let me tell you about his respect for rim. And he has unprecedented approval with the Republican Party. Ben has been there for a long time. Its not surprising its the only time he gets news when he criticizes the president. But the party, the energy were seeing, the rallies, it is unprecedented in terms of the support he is receiving from republicans across the country. The president is laying out that maybe republicans should find a new candidate. Should there be a new candidate in nebraska . Theres not going to be a new candidate, but the president is not pleased to see our candidate attacking him and i dont blame him for saying that. He also took on Susan Collins in a tweet on friday. Suggesting that she is not worth the work. Is Susan Collins worth the work . I want all republicans to win. I want the republican majority. I want to reelect the president and keep the house. You have a candidate on the democratic side right now, joe biden who on your town hall, and continually question after question about whether or not he will up end the third branch of government and burn down our checks and balances is saying ill tell you what im going to do after the election. We need the senate, we need the presidency, and we need the house. You a president ial candidate that refuses to be honest with the American People even in your town hall. I did push him on that and he said after a couple questions that it would be before the election. He keeps getting a free pass. It is the Judicial Branch of government. Staffing the Supreme Court will change our country forever. I asked him several questions on it. I want every senator elected, every president elected, i would love joe bide ton get a tough question that he actually has to answer. He did answer it on thursday. As rnc chair are you concerned that the president is in an open warfare with his own senators . I think this president is fighting for the American People every day. Im not worried about washington beltway politics. This is a president that went out and said there are forgotten men and women in this country that do not have a voice in washington. He made trade deals, he put great judges on the Supreme Court, and across the judiciary. He did phenomenal work for the American People. He wasnt there for the washington elite. And again you a candidate that did not answer your question in that town hall. Doesnt that concern you . That he is saying i will fundamentally change the third branch of government and the American People only deserve to know that after the election. Again, he said it before, but now you have several Senate Republicans concerned that joe biden will win. You have seen the comments from Susan Collins from and ben sasse. Are you starting to see republican senators running on a separate track from President Trump . Im not. I think all of them have been running similar races along. Here is what i will tell you. Im seeing more enthusiasm than i saw in 2016. I study the data every day. We know that our voters will turn out on election day. They dont trust the mail in balloting as much. Theyre getting out in the early vote states. We want them to get out and turn in their votes. But were seeing a huge energy and were seeing really great numbers coming out for the president. And this is a race. And any republican that doesnt recognize that running with the president is going to help them is hurting themselves in the long run. Finally your uncle, mitt romney, called out the president for refusing to condemn qanon. I knew you would ask me that question. Its something the voters are not even thinking about. Its a fringe group. Theyre not part of the party. The president said you know what, i dont know anything about this group. Of course you will ask me about that because it has absolutely nothing to do with this election. Do you condemn it . Antifa is burning down cities right now. I just told you, dismiss them out of hand. This is crazy, george. The American People are worried about the stimulus package, checks going to people that are concerned, and she says im going to look at the fine print and look at this one word. Playing political gamesmanship with their lives. You have a series of Senate Republicans saying the package is too large. You have a series of Senate Republicans saying the package is too large. There is no package yet. Nancy pelosi has been holding it up for months. The president said get help to the American People. She says not unless we get ballot harvesting in there and all of the thing thats have nothing to do with getting immediate help to struggling americans right now. This is all on nancy pelosi right now all day every day. She is hurting the American People and it is shameful that she is doing this in a time of pandemic. That is what people are worried about. Their jobs, their economy, and theyre the best to do it. Thank you so much. Coming up, nate silver is up next, analyzing a surge in early voting. Dont wait, vote today more than just vitamin c.
