00:00:02.199 --> 00:00:07.579
Hi,...you live in capitol hill we're all eagerly anticipating

00:00:07.579 --> 00:00:12.289
the beginning of a momentous debate about the bottom...

00:00:12.289 --> 00:00:17.189
an effort to try to salvage united states economy respond to the

00:00:17.189 --> 00:00:20.129
...damage that has devastated this country in

00:00:20.129 --> 00:00:24.949
the over the past year and a debate about the two parties going forward

00:00:24.949 --> 00:00:29.229
and whether or not it could be any agreement about how to respond as democrats

00:00:29.229 --> 00:00:34.019
pursuit one-point-nine trillion dollar proposal that republicans

00:00:34.019 --> 00:00:38.759
almost universally on capitol hill...are planning to battle and

00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:43.429
still waiting for the...it to unveil its built and when it does that will

00:00:43.429 --> 00:00:46.459
kick start this debate that could take days and days and

00:00:46.459 --> 00:00:51.129
days and democrats have virtually no margin for error in the senate to get this

00:00:51.129 --> 00:00:55.559
passed if they want to get if they don't get any republicans to back them they need to

00:00:55.559 --> 00:00:59.839
do it themselves and...see if the house can pass the senate

00:00:59.839 --> 00:01:04.779
changes get that joe biden is desk all before critical march fourteen

00:01:04.779 --> 00:01:09.719
deadline when millions of jobless benefits are set to expire people are waiting for

00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:14.629
relief even as a two parties disagree bitterly about what needs to be done but

00:01:14.629 --> 00:01:18.949
we're taking viewers questions today we're hearing from you about exactly what to expect

00:01:18.949 --> 00:01:22.239
in the days ahead and we'll start with william who

00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:27.109
...says...the bill be passed today in the senate the answer is no the

00:01:27.109 --> 00:01:31.119
process is expected to begin today was the democrats formally

00:01:31.119 --> 00:01:35.639
released the sentence version of a bill that passed the house last week this

00:01:35.639 --> 00:01:39.199
reason why the democrats have not put out their bills that has to be...formally?

00:01:40.229 --> 00:01:44.249
There needs to be a formal cost estimate by the official score keepers on

00:01:44.249 --> 00:01:48.489
capitol hill determine the cost of this plan under the strict budget rules are

00:01:48.489 --> 00:01:53.389
pursuing it needs to be one-point-nine trillion dollars because above that it can

00:01:53.389 --> 00:01:57.979
essentially be ruled out of order so they're working behind the scenes making last-minute

00:01:57.979 --> 00:02:03.319
weeks and perhaps putting some sweeteners to get some votes among some of their members

00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:08.399
doing that and that...shoring that complies with the rules the senate before formally unveiling

00:02:08.399 --> 00:02:12.859
...what we'll see today is actually a boat

00:02:12.859 --> 00:02:16.629
...some bailed they'll be a vote to actually open debate on the

00:02:16.629 --> 00:02:21.049
bill and adapt point republican ron johnson of wisconsin

00:02:21.049 --> 00:02:25.559
plans to object to moving quickly enforce the

00:02:25.559 --> 00:02:30.389
fool reading of a bill that could be six hundred seven hundred pages this could

00:02:30.389 --> 00:02:35.269
take about ten hours for the senate clerks to read every word of this

00:02:35.269 --> 00:02:37.229
build...point

00:02:37.229 --> 00:02:42.089
...be twenty hours of debate on the bill before we get

00:02:42.089 --> 00:02:47.139
...and voting on...the bill...should be any changes and...

00:02:47.139 --> 00:02:51.839
explain in a minute because there are a lot of questions about this

00:02:51.839 --> 00:02:55.049
what's called photo ramain the senate

00:02:55.049 --> 00:03:00.309
...asks is...time limit to how long amendments or debate can

00:03:00.309 --> 00:03:05.139
...on as long as amendments are introduced so under this process is called

00:03:05.139 --> 00:03:10.129
budget reconciliation process the democrats are employing why are they going this route

00:03:10.129 --> 00:03:13.089
was because you cannot filibuster a bill that

00:03:13.089 --> 00:03:16.619
is moving through the budget reconciliation process in order to

00:03:16.619 --> 00:03:21.489
overcome a filibuster typically for most bills requires sixty votes but because they're using

00:03:21.489 --> 00:03:27.089
this budget process it only requires a simple majority fifty one votes democrats

00:03:27.089 --> 00:03:32.769
...fifty votes...could break the tie the...vice president united states so that means

00:03:32.769 --> 00:03:37.839
they're that's why they're moving in this process but because they're using this budget

00:03:37.839 --> 00:03:42.619
process it allows for this free flowing amendment process typically are most

00:03:42.619 --> 00:03:48.169
proposalmost procedures the senate senators did get an agreement of all hundred senators

00:03:48.169 --> 00:03:51.719
...consent to schedule a vote on a single amendment

00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:55.659
and if that doesn't happen in the majority leader would have to take the procedural

00:03:55.659 --> 00:04:00.249
steps to actually schedule a vote to overcome those objections those procedures

00:04:00.249 --> 00:04:04.589
...days and days and days but under this process...they can vote and,

00:04:04.589 --> 00:04:08.529
many of moments as they want all the...requires is a get a

00:04:08.529 --> 00:04:12.849
sport sufficient second me the only need to have thirteen of the members of the

00:04:12.849 --> 00:04:17.549
chamber saying I agree devoted the amendment and then they can vote on that so if once

00:04:17.549 --> 00:04:21.329
ever wanted to propose dozens and dozens of amendments

00:04:21.329 --> 00:04:23.709
of force votes on that they could so this could

00:04:23.709 --> 00:04:29.249
take of very long-time so logs...centers have stamina to keep going on

00:04:29.249 --> 00:04:34.049
...and johnson the senator from wisconsin is talking with his colleagues

00:04:34.049 --> 00:04:37.599
try said shifts so there are enough republicans on the floor to

00:04:37.599 --> 00:04:41.629
continue to offer amendments...second those data offer

00:04:41.629 --> 00:04:45.589
a sufficient second in order to keep this process going now

00:04:45.589 --> 00:04:50.439
how long will this go we don't know there are ways to get around it potentially

00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:55.759
that set of...could consider these code diller tori that is simple delay tactics

00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:00.729
cut off debate we don't think that's going to happen maybe it will but republicans are warning

00:05:00.729 --> 00:05:03.839
is...is going to be painful and run johnson's

00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:07.779
spending trying to extend this potentially into the weekend we'll see if they have

00:05:07.779 --> 00:05:12.119
succeeded changing any of the bill because it would require that simple majority

00:05:12.119 --> 00:05:16.769
fifty one votes in order to change some of the elements of the bill the democrats are trying to form

00:05:16.769 --> 00:05:21.449
push back trying to keep their members in line can they do that a big question now

00:05:21.449 --> 00:05:24.909
...asks if all republicans oppose the bill

00:05:24.909 --> 00:05:30.039
the democrats have enough votes for passage the answer is yes because it is a fifty

00:05:30.039 --> 00:05:34.539
cent and because they just...that simple majority so if the democrats

00:05:34.539 --> 00:05:37.269
are able to keep all their members united joe

00:05:37.269 --> 00:05:41.439
mansions centers from west virginia bernie sanders of liberal from vermont and

00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:45.199
they agree on this proposal...keep everybody in line that's one

00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:50.309
...are...break the tie it to be any republic every republican votes no one

00:05:50.309 --> 00:05:54.989
republican to watch these are cows give alaskathey've been talk about putting some provisions

00:05:54.989 --> 00:06:00.579
...bill that could try to woo her she is very unlikely to vote for this bill she's

00:06:00.579 --> 00:06:03.079
...of concerns with the way that is structured out of

00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:08.849
the house she's not expected to vote for it so they will almost certainly have to passes

00:06:08.849 --> 00:06:13.779
...support which means they can't afford to lose anybody assuming republican vote in

00:06:13.779 --> 00:06:16.269
lockstep and opposition because of...concerns of

00:06:16.269 --> 00:06:21.459
...bills too big not needed costly et cetera so that...as does

00:06:21.459 --> 00:06:26.329
it look like democrats are on the same page so this has been a process has been happening behind the

00:06:26.329 --> 00:06:30.399
...percent...are still democratic divisions but they seem to be a

00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:35.419
...that needs to be some resolution...to paper over differences and maybe win over

00:06:35.419 --> 00:06:39.069
some on some members...one big change that was made in

00:06:39.069 --> 00:06:43.929
...couple of days that is very significant to win over moderate democrats

00:06:43.929 --> 00:06:48.219
to tighten eligibility of those leave checks that are in the built under the

00:06:48.219 --> 00:06:53.119
bill right now people get individuals to get up to fourteen hundred-dollars for

00:06:53.119 --> 00:06:56.999
...direct email assuming they make seventy five thousand-dollars a

00:06:56.999 --> 00:07:01.589
year or less what they agreed to in the senate proposal is does is

00:07:01.589 --> 00:07:03.379
...that people make more than eighty

00:07:03.379 --> 00:07:08.989
thousand-dollars a year we'll know long won't get a dime from this relief...that's different in the house bill

00:07:08.989 --> 00:07:13.629
...said that capital hundred-thousand-dollars for individuals so there's that's achieve

00:07:13.629 --> 00:07:17.499
...liberals don't like...don't like that but they're

00:07:18.799 --> 00:07:23.149
...that will be that change and won't be enough for them to vote the skill the overall bill

00:07:23.149 --> 00:07:27.429
...so many other things that are in there so those are some of the changes

00:07:27.429 --> 00:07:32.309
that the democrats are trying to make to keep everybody in the same page someone may not be happy about it but the

00:07:32.309 --> 00:07:37.709
end of the day they seem to be ok including keeping jobless benefits

00:07:37.709 --> 00:07:38.729
...a week

00:07:38.729 --> 00:07:43.049
...jobless benefits joe mansion try to get that down to three hundred-dollars a week

00:07:43.049 --> 00:07:46.759
liberals pushed back they seem to have one that argument we're hearing that

00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:51.719
...this state four hundred-dollars a week so there are differences but it seems like they're likely all going to

00:07:51.719 --> 00:07:56.149
both work at this point no l for ask what the amount of four hundred fourteen

00:07:56.149 --> 00:07:57.369
...per individual be

00:07:57.369 --> 00:08:02.319
...people be higher than a certain income as I just mentioned it will be reduce under the senate

00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:06.499
...is been endorsed by joe biden over eighty

00:08:06.499 --> 00:08:09.689
thousand-dollars nobody can get money under this senate

00:08:09.689 --> 00:08:14.449
proposal and almost certainly...this gets out of the senate as what's going to become law that's

00:08:14.449 --> 00:08:19.059
why right now this process is so important because the members are making changes

00:08:19.059 --> 00:08:20.739
the last-second...ensuring

00:08:20.739 --> 00:08:25.229
...the strict rules of the budget process because they need to

00:08:25.229 --> 00:08:29.829
ensure that this proposals exactly what they want because what is pass the

00:08:29.829 --> 00:08:34.629
senate almost certainly will be the same version of the house takes up and passes and

00:08:34.629 --> 00:08:38.959
...joe biden is...without any further changes so that is

00:08:38.959 --> 00:08:42.779
wide this right now a critical moment and we're expecting on those leave

00:08:42.779 --> 00:08:45.519
...it's only people interested if you make seventy five thousand

00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:48.679
years dollars a year or less as an individual

00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:51.559
...get that money you make eight thousand or more...individual you

00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:56.349
will not doubles for married couples filing jointly that threshold double

00:08:58.199 --> 00:09:03.189
...hazard europe a front-line workers now we're not hearing that is going to be in

00:09:03.189 --> 00:09:08.139
the senate plan has been discussed and democrats have pushed that in previous proposals in

00:09:08.139 --> 00:09:12.709
...year we're not getting a sense that it's going to be in this but again we have not seen

00:09:12.709 --> 00:09:17.129
the legislative...of this massive proposal do expect that sometime to

00:09:17.129 --> 00:09:20.219
...this afternoon so we'll see ultimately

00:09:20.219 --> 00:09:24.289
it's in there at the moment we're not doesn't seem that way but we'll see

00:09:24.289 --> 00:09:28.069
...it dig through in order to understand all the nuances but we do

00:09:28.069 --> 00:09:32.229
expect to be similar to the house passed a plan but some key changes

00:09:32.229 --> 00:09:35.919
okayed ask move forward are there plans for future stimulus

00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:39.999
checks or the democrats certainly want to get this bill first done before they can talk

00:09:39.999 --> 00:09:44.179
about another relief built at the moment does not seem like that is what

00:09:44.179 --> 00:09:48.359
we're planning on they're planning on going forward using this budget process

00:09:48.359 --> 00:09:52.839
next time to actually invented infrastructure plan that's a big priority flow

00:09:52.839 --> 00:09:56.869
...white house have been large discussions behind the scenes about infrastructure

00:09:56.869 --> 00:10:01.319
plans been difficult for congress to get that done financing infrastructure package

00:10:01.319 --> 00:10:06.259
that does not seem to be something where they would use another vehicle to advance

00:10:06.259 --> 00:10:09.729
relief checks these demos...maybe they will that's possible

00:10:09.729 --> 00:10:14.329
...the pandemonium if it's still continues to devastate the economy in a matter of months maybe they

00:10:14.329 --> 00:10:19.309
reassess their plans but the moment there's just such an intense focus and getting this

00:10:19.309 --> 00:10:22.819
packets done we'll see if they're able to do that because a is

00:10:22.819 --> 00:10:25.589
that democrats have lived no margin for error republicans are

00:10:25.589 --> 00:10:30.819
...they don't like this plants but the next few days very significant thanks for watching I'm

00:10:30.819 --> 00:10:33.129
...on capitol hill stick with cnn as

00:10:33.129 --> 00:10:38.319
we cover all these developments on this critical issue that affects you and your family?
