Extraordinary circumstances of an overwhelming disaster, or public Health Emergency the guidelines are used when there are not enough Health Care resources to provide the usual standard of care to people who needed a goal of Crisis Standards of care is to extend care to as many patients as possible, and save as many lives as possible. Implementation of Crisis Standards of care are meant to be a measure of last resort, activation of the Crisis Standards of care means that all other options for addressing resource limitations have been explored. Overwhelming disaster or public Health Emergency. Again, this is for all public Health Districts in the state of ohio, for the entire state now and the Declaration Theyve Issue today explains why they pulled the trigger, how they got to this dramatic and absolutely unprecedented point. As weve been reporting in the last few days, it was over a week ago now, that Crisis Standards of care were implemented for specific hospitals in North Idaho, just to the overwhelming of hospitals in that part of idaho due to covid was already provoking its own kind of crisis, even in neighboring Washington State. Hospitals and even just individuals were deciding to try to get patients across state lines, trying to get patients into Washington State hospitals, when all the North Idaho hospitals got so full with covid patients. They had to officially start Rationing Care last week. North idaho has been in crisis, that crisis is the Washington States governor. It had become Washington States problem as it washed over into eastern washington. This declaration from Idaho Tonight means its not just the North Idaho panhandle anymore, not just that section of the state. Its the entire state. We know they request for the statewide declaration for idaho, apparently came in from st. Louis Health System, st. Louis has major hospitals in boise and in meridian idaho. Saint looks the biggest Health Care system in the whole state. Look at what the declaration spells out about whats the crush of a very sick covid patients has done there. The following conditions exist, which support activating Crisis Standards of care. Idaho covid19 hospitalizations, largely up unvaccinated individuals continue to climb to record levels. The massive surge of covid patients has exhausted the supply of staff available beds and necessary resources to adequately address the increased demand for Health Care services. On september 15th, yesterday, st. Louis Health System, the largest Health Care system in the state requested the activation of Crisis Standards of care in accordance with idaho law. St. Louis has opened 93 beds already in nontraditional overflow areas. St. Louis reportedly had run out of physical beds, and would be treating patients on stretchers until the additional beds they awarded arrive. St. Louis for the reported that all traditional ventilators were in the use, and they were now using non traditional ventilators, such as pediatric ventilators for adult patients. St. Louis had previously canceled elective surgeries, but on september 15th, yesterday, they reported to the state they had canceled further surgeries, including the removal of lowrisk cancers, fractures with pain, and hernia repairs. All of those surgeries canceled as well. Quote, despite taking all necessary measures to prevent Crisis Standards of care, st. Louis reported a lack of adequate resources to treat not only Covid19 Patients, but also other medical conditions that may require hospitalization. The st. Louis Covid19 Patient Forecast indicates that in two weeks, st. Louis could have 425 covid patients. Meaning almost every bed in the entire st. Louis Health System would be occupied by a Covid19 Patient at that point. Largest Hospital System in the state says they would be 100 of covid patients within two weeks, which leaves precisely zero beds and zero resources for anybody who has anything else wrong with them other than covid19. It continues at the, end of the committee convened virtually on september 15th, yesterday, and recommended to extend activation of Crisis Standards of care statewide. Statewide. Today, that is where idaho is. It is no longer a North Idaho, if you hospitals in the panhandle there. It is now in statewide hospitals and Health Providers across idaho being given this set of guidance from the state, this very stark, unnerving guidance. On how to ethically and Logistically Handle, not providing Health Care anymore. Two patients who need to be hospitalized, but there is no room for them. How to ethically and Logistically Handle providing some patients with Comfort Care rather than carry to try to save them. Because there arent enough resources to try to save everyone anymore. Again, the state of idaho has now legally activated statewide Crisis Standards for Health Care. Its just a stark thing to see that. To see it in the local coverage. To see in the idaho statesman, the way that paper of record in idaho has two gingerly spell out exactly what this means. So people really understand it. They said today, Crisis Care standards means hospitals must privatized patients differently, typically a hospital prioritizes those who need medical attention most, and treats them first. One Crisis Defenders are activated, however, Health Care is given to patients on the basis of who is more likely to survive. If you are less likely to survive, you are less likely to get anything other than Comfort Care. Idahos Republican Governor brad a little is now encouraging idaho residents to get vaccinated to try to save the hospitals in his state. As we have covered here on the show in recent days, republican officials across the state seem to have had a hard time coming to terms with what covid really is, what it really means, what it really is doing to their state. County commissioners in idahos largest Health District just this summer fired their longtime nationally recognized health director, and replaced him with a local pathologist with no Public Health experience, who apparently is a real hero on infowars. He calls Covid Vaccinations, quote, needle rape. He says Covid Vaccinations must be stopped. He says you definitely shouldnt wear a mask, idaho. All you need is Vitamin D and Horse Dewormer and you are good to go. Dont listen to these people talking about the vaccine and the masks. That is who County Commissioners and the Central District largest Health District and idaho put on their Health Board after firing their nationally acclaimed real doctor for having had the temerity to go along with federal guidelines about how to prevent covid. If you are watching this tonight and idaho, i have been looking at your local press all day and i know that this is a scary day. I am sorry for what the state and specifically or Health Providers, your doctors and nurses are going through right now. I hope this crisis doesnt last, we all do. Idaho has one of the lowest Vaccination Rates in the nation, which is why this is happening. Perhaps this crisis will be the shock that turns those numbers around. In terms of vaccination, and thereby save the hospitals. We shall see. The situation in idaho right now is a story of national significance. It deserves more national attention and thoughts and prayers for the people of idaho. And particularly for the Health Care providers who were in a place it never been before and dont know how long it will last. There is a lot of anticipation but no confident predictions about what is going to happen tomorrow in the fda decides whether or not theyre going to authorize the use of third shots, Booster Shots to basically up the protection afforded already by the vaccines by adding an additional dose or perhaps an additional portion of the dose as an update, as a booster, as a next shot for people already considered fully vaccinated. The fda is going to be meeting on that tomorrow, unlike previous deaths for important therapeutics and vaccines during the pandemic this far, theres a lot of uncertainty as to what the fda is going to decide on this. There is a lot of conflicting opinion on what is the right thing to do. We will be watching that closely. We will speak with someone from the White House on how the Covid Crisis in poorly vaccinated states places like idaho is now affecting the White House thinking on the economy and on what is possible in terms of Policy Responses and the president s legislative agenda. One of the wildcards for the biden White House and for the democrats and congress right now is we are still waiting tomorrow will be a solid week we since democrats went to the parliamentarian to make their case to her they should be allowed to put major Immigration Reforms into this gigantic bill that they are working on right now. Theyre working on passing that bill under rules that would let them pass it with just democratic votes even if no republicans joined them. This is the bill that by which theyre pursuing president Bidens Infrastructure plans. Its the bill by which pursuing everything they want to do on climate, the Bill Senator Bernie sanders last hour told Chris Hayes would be one of the most important and consequential pieces of legislation in recent memory. The question is whether there might be Immigration Reform that is part of it as well. Whether they can do that. According to the parliamentarians ruling, if the parliamentarian says yes, they may be able to pass Immigration Reform without any republican votes. If that answer is, yes and if democrats can hold their caucus together and pass that legislation, that starting to sound like President Biden will get the bulk of his agenda passed and done, potentially, before the end of his first full year in office. Its very high stakes, very high prospects. The democrats are aiming very high in terms of their ambitions. The prospects for whether or not they passed it depends not only on the unity of their caucus but also on this one ruling from the sort of obscure official In Washington who at anytime now tell democrats whether theyre allowed to go forward on that part of it. We will have that interview live with Jarrett Bernstein from the White House coming up later on this hour. Im looking forward to that. The other thing going on In Washington right now tonight, though, so real as it is, its actually something that started off in this mornings news, seeming like maybe it wasnt going to be too bad, but then over the course of the, Day Kind of fell off a cliff. You might remember us reporting Last Night when they started erecting the fence around the u. S. Capitol again. The fence they put up right after the January 6th attack on the capital by trump supporters trying violently to block the certification of the election of President Biden. The fence was up for just after January 6th, until july. Came down in july. It went back up Last Night in anticipation of this Saturday Israeli by trump supporters who are convening at the capitol in support of the January 6th attack, and to demand the freeing of all the people who were arrested for participating in that attack. So, we saw the fence going up this time Last Night. This morning, we woke up to kind of comforting headlines, a reassuring headline about the expectations for this weekend. Cnn had this headline on the right, republican lawmakers keep saturdays rightwing rally at arms length. The New York Times headline on the left, similar. Republicans, Steer Clear of rally for right suspects. Both of those articles this morning, full of assurances that republicans were giving this thing a wide berth, that there was no measurable support for this rally on behalf of the people who attacked the capital. All of this coverage noting importantly that the one Singular Point of influence in todays republican party, former President Donald Trump is pretending this thing this Weekend Isnt happening. As cnn put it, quote, top republicans including trump himself have not promoted the event. The New York Times put, it quote, in shutting the event, republicans are following the lead of mr. Trump, who has been uncharacteristically silent about it. Trump aides say has a little interest in engaging with the protest. That was this morning. It was kind of reassuring, right . All these fears of violence, seeing the fence going up, but then there is the headlines, right . Dont worry, yes, it is trump supporters coming back to the capital, with lots of apparently violent Chatter Online about the mayhem they want to cause, and yes they are coming specifically to celebrate the people who violently attacked the u. S. Capitol before, which seems wearing on its face, but dont worry, because unlike January 6th, there isnt a bunch of republican members of congress who are speaking at the rally leading up to it, and trump himself is ignoring this one. Sort of a Big Sigh of relief this morning. And this was this afternoon, right off the cliff. [laughs] a statement from trump. Our hearts and minds are with the people of being persecuted so unfairly, relating to the January 6th protest concerning the rigged president ial election. Might have seen the headlines after that. That seemed from trump this afternoon. Trump expresses solidarity with rioters arrested in January 6th attack. Ahead of planned rally to support the rioters arrested in the January 6th attack. Its almost like he saw the reporting from early in the day, that people were feeling better that there might not be more apocalyptic insurrectionists lands from his supporters this time. He saw those headlines, and saw people feeling a little bit better about it, he was like oh, i can fix that i know what to do. Has this not been stirred for a while . The department of Homeland Security has now given a warning for state local Law Enforcement Security across the country, warning about the potential threat of the violence on saturday. And also for some reason they are warning about parental violence a day before the rally. D. C. Will have their forces fully activated for the Saturday Event in the capital. The report Last Night that the Capitol Police have also asked for the national guard to be ready to assist if they are needed at the capitol, even though theyre not getting deployed in advance. Nbc news is also reporting tonight that in dishing to the fencing thats putting put up around the capital. They are also putting up new Perimeter Fencing around the Supreme Court. You will recall that just a few weeks ago, some do drove his Truck Up on to the sidewalk in front of the Supreme Court. And said he backed it with enough explosive to blow up a couple of city blocks. He said he was there to set off a revolution. And that other people should join him. Because once all the democrats were jail where they belong, i want to President Trump is reinstated back in office, trump would pardon him. And all the other revolutionaries. Everybody should come join him. So he could set off his bombs. So yeah, now theyre fencing off the Supreme Court as well. So weve got democrats working on their big Infrastructure Bill. Roads, bridges, broadband [inaudible]. Electric grid and everything. President biden giving his speech today, on Tax Policy Structure to help the Middle Class, instead of the ultra wealthy. Speaking support of the big Budget Bill and the Infrastructure Bill today. Democrats making their case and now waiting with baited breath to find out if theyll be able to do something meaningful on Immigration Reform for the first time in 25 years. Depending on what the parliamentarian lets them do on this bill without any republican support. Democrats have also got their big voting rights bill. Their new Compromise Voting rights bill. That theyre planning to vote on next week. But again it doesnt look like there is any republican support for that. Democrats are busy. Theyve got stuff to do. They have to figure out how to do all of it with no republican support at all. Meanwhile, what is going on republicans . Meanwhile, where republicans are, they are here. In april of this year, five months ago, Cnn Poll found that an astonishing 70 of republicans did not believe Joe Biden was really president. 70 of republicans as of april, did not believe Joe Biden was legitimately represent as president. They somehow believe that trump was still president. And all would be revealed. But 70 in april. Just astonishingly high. Look at it is now. It is no longer 70 of republicans, it is now 78 . Over the past five months, this is what the republican party has been busy working on with his voters. Joe Biden Isnt really the president. You know on Earth One people have moved on, you know. The Covid Crisis is really bad. Its really bad in places that have low Vaccination Rates in particular. As we talked about Last Night, with the Staff Director at the largest medical center in alaska. Alaskas largest hospital is having people who show up at the Emergency Room now, having them just wait in their cars, in the Parking Lot for hours. That is how you go to the Emergency Room at the largest hospital in alaska. Because they are so overwhelmed with covid patients. The entire state of idaho is now in Crisis Standard of care, as of today. They are so full of very sick covid patients, they may now just not treat the ones who seem least likely to make it. That is not just true for covid patients, that is true for anybody. Who comes to any idaho hospital for anything. The Covid Situation right now its really that. But Joe Bidens president enough that he passed and signed the huge covid relief bill. And thereby among other things, kept more than 15 Million americans out of poverty this year. He is president enough that hes pulling out all the stops to try and up our Vaccination Rate as a country. To save the hospitals. To get the numbers down so we stop losing 1500 americans a day. Joe biden is president enough that he is working on the biggest Infrastructure Investment since World War ii. And the biggest effort against Climate Change by a mile. And maybe Immigration Reform to for the first time in 25. Yes republicans are, like biden is not president. [laughs] trump is still president we think. In fact we are increasingly, convinced of the. You know that Crease Day Cyber Ninjas audit that they have been doing in arizona since april. Remember they said it was going to take three weeks. Its now september and theyre still doing it. That is the republicans in Arizona Legislature hiring the Cyber Ninjas. This for Computing Conspiracy Theories to redo Arizonas President ial Election Results. That is still going on in arizona. That is still insane from the very beginning. It seems crazy that it still going on right . Still . Its mid september and youre still doing the . And republican land, on earth to. None of this stuff is over. Theyre just getting going. More republicans today, believe that biden didnt win the election. Republicans today just started their new crazy Election Audit of the 2020 president ial Election Result in pennsylvania. Today, they started their effort to try to undo the pennsylvania election Election Results from this is what pennsylvania is working on right now. And you want to know how theyre working on it . If you voted in the Pennsylvania President ial election this year, they are not trying to subpoena your full name as a voter. Your home address, your Drivers License, and a portion of your social Security Number for their review. For every single person who voted in pennsylvania, they will all of that data. All of that personally identifying information. Because maybe in that Donald Trump is still president. So the urgently need every voter personal identifying information for their investigation. Meanwhile, right now, were having the fans off the united states Supreme Court and the u. S. Capitol again. As the former president beats his Chest Today and screams about the rigged elections and how we need solidarity with all the brave patriots who violently tried to overthrow the u. S. Government and keep him in power, on january six. There is plenty a political ambition. Intrigue and, suspense on one side of the aisle tonight. But the other side of the aisle, really isnt politics anymore. It is something else. It is getting worse not better. Stay with us we got a lot to get to tonight. Y. This is the uh Registration Card for the draft for World War two. And this is his signature which blew me away. Being able to. Make my grandfather real. Not just a memory. Is priceless. His legacy. Lives on. Is priceless. Just two pills for all day pain relief. Aleve it, and see whats possible. Hey google. Limu Emu Doug got a couple of bogeys on your six, limu. They need customized Car Insurance from Liberty Mutual so they only pay for what they need. What do you say we see what this bird can do . Woooooooooooooo. We are not getting you a helicopter. Looks like were walking, kid. Only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. In business, its never just another day. Its the big sale, or the big presentation.

With Comcast Business you get the network that can deliver Gig Speeds to the most businesses and advanced cybersecurity to protect every device on it all backed by a dedicated team, 24 7. Every day in business is a big day. Well keep you ready for whats next. For months covering for months Comcast Business powering possibilities. Now now these little these little exercises, exercises, these these audits, these audits, these reviews that reviews that republicans are doing in these states republicans are doing in the states, to try and revisit, and perhaps undo the president ial Election Results from 2020. It has been an education. I will tell you, to learn about the card is in bumblers and, grifters who are doing these things. Trying to Gin Up Evidence of via Spread Voter Fraud in states across the country, where there was no much bread. Where weve been watching all those folks while they are doing their bubbling, and theyre crafting in all these states, they are also causing legitimate Security Concerns about elections going forward. Take for instance, the three people who allegedly made copies of Hard Drives an Election Management Software from the real election equipment, and the real Election Software in colorado. That stuff is supposed to be quite secure. You are not supposed to be able to copy it. Or the guy who showed up on an Election Conspiracy Theory video holding a vote calculator, identical to the one used in Interim County michigan. He was not an Election Official of any kind, says the guy who said he should not have any access to that kind of tabulator. Whats he doing with one of those machines . Then there was the real fun, one were copies of Election Management System software is from Bowls Mason County and Interim County, got passed around. To the public. Passed around to actors, and invited guests like Mike Lynn the Pillow Guy from the conference last month, who was supposed to be the Launching Pad for Donald Trumps the Ap Talk to one of the hackers who got a copy of that stolen stuff, and reported quote, the release gives hackers a Practice Environment to pro for vulnerabilities they could exploit an a Road Map to avoid defenses. Even worse, copies of that stolen information also ended up posted online. To be downloaded by Who Knows who. But anybody who wanted to potentially use that stuff to actually cause real harm to an election by being able to hack and potentially Compromise Voting machines, and voting system software. With that Track Record of the recent months, now, republican State Senator, in the Pennsylvania Have decided they wanted,. They have started their own audit of the president ial Election Result in 2020. And what they are planning to handoff to contractors, so they havent hired yet, but they are definitely going to be good, once they are planning to hand off to the contractors who are going to do the Audit Micro your hair. They are soupy netting an absolute ton of voter records from pennsylvania, including identifying personal information. They want this from state Election Officials, for pennsylvanias voters, and they say theyre gonna hand this information to contractors to who theyre gonna choose to do the socalled audit, what they want attention what they want, what they are subpoenaing names, dates of birth, addresses, Drivers License numbers, partial social Security Number for every single Absentee Voter in the state of. Pennsylvania every Inperson Voter in the state of florida, every Mailin Ballot voted in the November General Election basically every voter in pennsylvania. Name, data birth, divers isis number, last four digits of the social Security Number, address, data last Voting Activity the republican State Senator heading this all up doesnt know who they are going to give it to, and what contractor they eventually, pick what that contractor will eventually do with it but they want the information out anyway and using power to get it Donald Trump might still be president , how else are you going to find out . This is happening now. This is getting worse overtime even on the national media got tired of talking about it. As the national media stopped focusing on these things because it seems like the same story over and over again, the efforts by republicans to pursue the stuff got more aggressive, more widespread, and in this case, more personal. State democrats in pennsylvania are trying to make sure that this doesnt turn into a real mess for all registered voters in the state of pennsylvania. Im curious as to their powers to interfere here. Joining us now, anthony williams. He is the ranking democratic member of the committee in the Pennsylvania Senate that voted along Party Lines to issue subpoenas to vacuum up all this personal information on the voters in the state. Senator williams, a pleasure to have you with us tonight, thank you for being here. Thank you for having me. Let me ask, you weve been watching this from outside, and watching local media, some of the hearings as theyve been happening. Watching it from afar. Is there anything ive described wrong or anything i am sort of missing in terms of explaining to our audience what is going on here . We did an extraordinary job of giving accurate, precise information. The only thing i want to make sure if i understand how serious this is. Extraordinary in terms of delivery. I dont want anybody to laugh about this, its dangerous and harkens back to the darkest periods of americas history. Here is where people are required to testify, and if they didnt do it correctly, they were considered on americans. Thats where were going with this. Why do you think that your republican colleagues want such intrusive information about every voter in the state. I have to imagine they know how this will go over. And voters of every ideological stripe may be uncomfortable with the idea of all of this information, all of his personal and identifying information being handed over to them when they cant identify with the going to do the information or who else theyre going to give it to i dont think all of them would appreciate people will pay attention. You know, pennsylvania has an extraordinary diverse state. We have a significant population, and a significant right wing conservative pocket in other parts. No matter who they are, i dont think any of them understood that when you talk about taking Drivers Licenses, and social security information, youre going to unify whether a democrat or republican. The fact the government is intruding upon your personal life. So frankly, i think they are taking steps down this path to give guidance to outside consideration. And not thinking about the consequences of it. Those numbers you shared with republicans, the former president , and Joe Biden trust, me 78 of pennsylvanias Democratic Public Good think this is extraordinarily stupid and a dangerous idea. We watch some of the footage yesterday, and the Committee Hearing where these controversial matters were debated any pushed back so hard on your republican colleagues. At one point, you describe what they are doing here. This overall audit, and the way theyre trying to pursue. And you described it as an attack on our right to vote. I wanted to ask if you expand on that and say what you characterized in that way . Two reasons. One, if you havent noticed, im a black guy. But i come from a certain period where we passed some of the greatest legislation, a civil rights time, and women, veterans, disabled, more access to opportunities in this country than any other period in time. This is a reversal of that. This is a denial of that. And the other part is, obviously, for anybody who understands this country still remains in an experiment. Fundamentally on our singular right to vote. Thats what makes this different in any part of the world. And the access to it without corruption. You are, In The Name Of wrapping yourself in the flag, ironically, tearing apart the most principal part of our country. That is our right, regardless of who you are, to make this equal regardless of income, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, the right to vote makes you an american, and that removal, suppression, or denial is counter to what we are doing, and that is what these folks are trying to do pennsylvania State Senator anthony williams. Senator williams, a pleasure to have you with. Us all realize this fight is joined right now in the state senate, and you are part of that. This is the start of a process that will go on for a long time. Id love to have you back to keep us surprised as this moves forward i thank you, that you are paying attention to it and letting voices like yours make the difference in us rallying together. God bless you. Wonderful, wonderful commentary. I will continue to watch. Thank you, senator. You are going to make me blush all right, much more news ahead here tonight. Stay with us. Tonight stay with us what does it take to make it . In the race to succeed, does somebody always have to fail . Weve got to start lifting each other up. And give everybody a fair shot. Because when that happens, weve all made it. Its another day. And anything could happen. B it could be the day you, welcome 1,200 guests and all their devices.

I think to myself what a wonderful World Music i think to myself What A Wonderful World right now In Washington, one person who holds the future of President Bidens agenda in her hands is the parliamentarian of the senate. An obscured job in the best of times. Democrats have been trying to get some kind of Immigration Reform done for decades. They might finally have a chance, and we could find out whether they have that chance at any moment. Democratic members of congress and the White House are eagerly awaiting a decision from the Senate Parliamentarian as to whether not democrats will be allowed to include parts of the biden Administration Reform Agenda in their Big Three and a half trillion Dollar Spending Bill they can pass without any republican votes. They presented their case to the parliamentarian last friday. They made their case to her for including in that bill a plan that would create 8 Million new green cards for immigrants already in the united states. That group of immigrants includes the dreamers, people who were brought to the u. S. As kids and allowed to stay in this country under a program created by the obama administration. That program was gutted by a republican appointed federal judge earlier this summer. The fate of the dreamers is in the balance here. They are going to be deported to a country they never lived in and never known. On monday, the Hill Newspaper reported the Senate Parliamentarian have gone back to the democrats and ask for further information supporting their argument for including Immigration Reform in the Big Bill as of today shes yet to make her ruling. The second highest ranking democrat after chuck schumer, Dick Durbin of illinois. He told Nbc News he is losing sleep, awaiting her decision saying it is the best opportunity we have had in 20 years. And the fate of millions of immigrants in this country is definitely something to lose sleep over. But even so, it is one piece of what it would be this massive three and a half trillion dollar effort. Today, President Biden himself used his Bully Pulpit to make his case to the american people about why they should support this bill he focused in particular on how it could change the Tax Code. To privilege the Middle Class over the ultra wealthy. If you are a typical american, like i suspect most of the pressed people sitting in front of me here, pay your taxes why . Because you get a w2 form. It comes in the mail every year. The irs gets that information as well. S you are taxes get deducted frm your paycheck, and you pay what is owed beyond that. But thats not how it works for people with tens of millions of dollars. They played by a different set of rules. They are often not employees themselves. The Irs Cant see what they make. Where is it written, all the Tax Breaks and american Tax Code go to corporations at the top . Its enough, im tired of it. I think its enough, im tired of it. Like i, said there is a lot at stake in this bill for President Biden, or his presidency himself, for democrats, for the dreamers, anybody that pays taxes or has kids or drives on roads. Or needs the internet, occasionally, and might want to turn on the lights after a storm. What are the meaningful prospects this bill will actually pass . Does the White House see it as being on track . The house set a deadline of 11 days from now, September 27th to pass the smaller bipartisan Infrastructure Bill that passed incident last month. Progressives in the house say they wont vote for that bill until they pass the Big Three and a half trillion Dollar Proposal as well. There is a lot to get done the clock is ticking. I feel like it is time at this point, it would be helpful to me to get the white Houses Perspective on the progress made so far. How they are thinking of the prospects for President Bidens engine in this bill. Are things on track . Joining us now, Jarrett Bernstein, a member of President Bidens counsel that dynamic advisers. He played a key role in crafting ended and advancing bidens economic agenda and he is also the man not smart enough he keeps saying yes to my requests to Come On tv. The only thing we know about him that is he is very smart. Great to see you Come On, its my pleasure. I like the way you described the number of people who would be helped by the spill, which i think is pretty much everybody. Well, i mean three and a half trillion dollars at an ambitious level. Even starting with infrastructure, looking at climate, looking at immigration, looking at the kinds of visible changes this is going to mean. It is going to affect everybody in the country. Its transformative. My question is, not what you are trying to, do but whether you think you are going to get there. Are things on track . Is this according to schedule . I think we are very much on, track and i think not only are going to get, theyre more importantly the president thinks we have to get there. The key word you just use this transformative. This economy, this political system, is really at an inflection point. Do we want an economy that consistently, year and, year out Reward Wealth overworked . Or do we want to rebuild a policy of architecture that connects the Middle Class, and lower income people to a growing economy. People who in decades in an out, economic has been but a spectator sport, and ive talked about this for a long time. There needs to be a set of policy changes that are cleanly, and clearly embedded in this legislation. That not only cut cost for the working class, cut taxes for the Middle Class, provides benefits for people who want to go to school, want to send their kids to childcare, who wants to pursue affordable elder clear, but also does so without raising one penny of taxes below 400,000. And raises taxes on those for whom the Tax System has benefited for so many years. You talked a little bit about the Tax Evasion promised, we can get into that. I think thats precisely the architecture that is required at this moment. And thats why i believe we are on track. Watching the political dynamics at work here, obviously there has been so much attention to senator with cinema, and senator joe manchin. Publicly what they have said about their reluctance or their questions about moving forward, is the price tag. They have talked about, not just wanting to spend three and a half trillion dollars. I wonder if part of the reason the president gave the speech today, is to talk about how it is all paid for. How will the money is not coming out of nowhere. The approach to taxation, to especially making sure that the very richest people in the company starting the taxes that they are required to take, and that they are required to pay if theyre not paying. That is how you get to this being an affordable amount of money to spend. That is precisely the president s message today, certainly one of the key ones. 3. 5 trillion is a gross number that leaves out the impact of a full set of pay force, that is measured that raise the revenues necessary to offset that cost. So when you really want to talk about the impact on federal budget, of course you have to look at both sides of the ledger. And it is not just the revenues, that are raised only on people who are above 400,000. It is as you said, one part of this is tax compliance. I was looking at some numbers before i came on, 20 of evaded taxism, in a typical year, that is over 160 Billion dollars. Accrued to the top 1 . We know that we have Attack System that has rewarded wealth over work. Decadent acadia. And this president has long campaigned on rolling back the high and most agree just parts of the Trump Tax cuts,. Cutting taxes for the Middle Class. Cutting cuts for the working class. And making sure that no one under 400,000 sees a tax increase. Doing so in the interest of boosting Middle Class opportunities, once again. Reconnecting the Middle Class to a growing economy, that we just havent seen enough of in recent decades. Jarred, one thing that i talked about early on the show that i wanted to ask you about, from an economic perspective, is the ongoing crisis with covid, particularly in the states with low Vaccination Rates. We have been covering closely for the situation in idaho, the entire state has gone to standard crisis of care. Harrowing news from the states Hospital System in terms of what they think they can do. It is the Covid Crisis, especially the way it is in poorly vaccinated states right, not affecting the way at the White House is thinking . About the economic recovery, about whats possible for the president s agenda, does it inject an amount of uncertainty 60 . With does this make a hard to forecast . Great question. I think its really just ramping up the urgency of getting people vaccinated. Doing whatever it takes. You heard the president earlier this week, whatever it takes to get vaccinated up. I work for this president for a long time, i was with him during the campaign, the very first conversation that we had when i was drafted on to the team this time. Was about the connection, him talking about the connection. Between controlling the virus and growing the economy. And we have seen that connection in very clear this play months after months, quarter of the quarter. The good news, is that there is a solid robust recovery ongoing. Even with some of the markdowns of forecast to have to deal with delta. Even some of the numbers that we have seen inspectors in person sectors that have been affected. We still have a much more robust recovery going on. And thats because many people are back at work. Many kids are back at school. A lot of people are vaccinated. People have some checks in their wallet, and some shots in their. Arm but we need to do better. The key to what we are talking about right now, its getting to the other side of the Crisis And Building back better. Simply getting back to where we were is insufficient. It always has. Its been insufficient for this president. We have to create a Policy Architecture to make sure that when this recovery starts to truly expend, under this president s leadership, under the policy that hes putting forth today, that the Middle Class finally has the opportunities that have been there do for so long. And the house along alluded them. That is the measure of building back better. Gerard bernstein, Member President Advisor economic advisor, generated always nice for you to spend some time for us.
