>>> THERE ARE A LOT OF PARENTS
WHOSE CHILDREN ARE HEALTHY AND

2
00:00:03,714 --> 00:00:08,954
HAPPY NOW.
WHO LIVE IN FEAR.

3
00:00:09,054 --> 00:00:12,625
>> IT IS -- I CANNOT BE
APPEASED.

4
00:00:12,725 --> 00:00:16,330
>> PANIC BEGINS FOLLOWED BY THE
RITUAL OF CLOSED SCHOOLS.

PARKS AND OTHER PUBLIC --

6
00:00:26,007 --> 00:00:31,347
>> ONE OF THE GREATEST TRIUMPHS
IN MEDICAL HISTORY IS ACHIEVED.

7
00:00:31,447 --> 00:00:35,485
>> THE VACCINE COULD BE
CONSIDERED TO HAVE BEEN 60 TO

8
00:00:35,586 --> 00:00:38,189
80% EFFECTIVE AGAINST POLIO.

9
00:00:38,289 --> 00:00:42,227
>> FULL-SCALE MANUFACTURERS
LABORATORIES HAVE TURNED OUT

10
00:00:42,327 --> 00:00:49,035
ENOUGH OF THE PRECIOUS SERUM FOR
45 MILLION CHILDREN.

11

>> IF YOU'RE AFRAID FOR YOUR
SHOT TODAY --

12
00:00:57,245 --> 00:00:59,581
>> YOU'RE NOW INOCULATED.
ISN'T THAT GREAT?

13
00:00:59,681 --> 00:01:03,886
>> THE VICTORY GROWS GRANDER AS
HUNDREDS OF THOUSNDS OF

14
00:01:03,986 --> 00:01:08,291
CHILDREN AND ADULTS ARE AT LAST
PROTECTED AGAINST THE CRIPPLING

DISEASE.

16
00:01:09,592 --> 00:01:11,362
>> WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS
BEFORE BUT NOT AT THIS LEVEL.

17
00:01:11,462 --> 00:01:16,568
THIS IS THE MOST COMPLICATED
VACCINATION CAMPAIGN THAT WE'VE

18
00:01:16,668 --> 00:01:19,104
PROBABLY FACED IN OUR COUNTRY IN
DECADES, IF NOT A WHOLE CENTURY.

19
00:01:19,204 --> 00:01:22,975
>> WE NEED TO DO EVERYTHING
POSSIBLE TO VACCINATE PEOPLE AND

20
00:01:23,075 --> 00:01:25,711
GIVE THEM IMMUNITY NOW.

21
00:01:25,811 --> 00:01:29,016
>> OFFICIALS SAY THE COUNTRY IS
STILL STRUGGLING WITH ITS

22
00:01:29,116 --> 00:01:33,454
VACCINE ROLLOUT.
AS A NEW CDC ANNOUNCED, THE U.S.

23
00:01:33,554 --> 00:01:37,660
GOVERNMENT DOES NOT EVEN KNOW
HOW MUCH CORONAVIRUS VACCINE THE

24
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,162
COUNTRY HAS AT THIS MOMENT.

25
00:01:40,262 --> 00:01:43,733
>> ONLY ABOUT HALF OF THE TOTAL
NUMBER OF VACCINES THAT HAVE

26
00:01:43,833 --> 00:01:47,370
BEEN DISTRIBUTED HAVE MADE IT
INTO PEOPLE'S ARMS.

27
00:01:47,470 --> 00:01:50,942
>> WE SPENT HOURS, TWO OR THREE
HOURS AT TIME, OFTEN WITH NO

28
00:01:51,042 --> 00:01:51,475
LUCK.

29
00:01:52,209 --> 00:01:56,949
>> SOME PLACES DEMAND AND
FRANKLY OTHER PLACES SUPPLY

OUTSTRIPPED DEMAND.

31
00:01:58,383 --> 00:02:04,991
>> PLENTY OF FOLKS ARE SKEPTICAL
AND DON'T WANT TO GET THE SHOT.

32
00:02:05,092 --> 00:02:06,160
>> NEW DATA SUGGESTING A NEW
STRAIN COULD BE DEADLIER.

33
00:02:06,260 --> 00:02:08,796
>> THE BIDEN PRESIDENCY HINGES
ON THE SUCCESS AGAINST THE

34
00:02:08,896 --> 00:02:09,463
PANDEMIC.

35
00:02:09,897 --> 00:02:11,800
>> A MOMENT TAL AND
UNPRECEDENTED CHALLENGE.

36
00:02:11,900 --> 00:02:13,902
>> AN ENORMOUS TEST.
IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING

37
00:02:14,002 --> 00:02:16,105
FOR THE BEGINNING OF HIS
PRESIDENCY.

38
00:02:16,205 --> 00:02:19,375
GETTING ON TOP OF THE COVID
PANDEMIC IS THE KEY TO

39
00:02:19,475 --> 00:02:27,685
REENERGIZING THE ECONOMY.

40
00:02:27,785 --> 00:02:38,798

GIVE ME A BREAK, MAN.

41
00:03:10,268 --> 00:03:12,438
>> HI, GUYS.

42
00:03:12,538 --> 00:03:13,606
>> HEY.

43
00:03:13,706 --> 00:03:14,607
>> YOU THERE?

44
00:03:14,707 --> 00:03:17,944
>> I AM.
I GOT A NICE BIG HAMBURGER GOING

45
00:03:18,045 --> 00:03:20,247
HERE.
I'M WAITING FOR THE ARTICLES OF

46
00:03:20,347 --> 00:03:22,984
IMPEACHMENT TO BE SENT OVER
TONIGHT.

47
00:03:23,084 --> 00:03:25,219
>> WILL THEY BE SENT TO YOUR
HOTEL ROOM?

48
00:03:25,319 --> 00:03:25,953
[ LAUGHTER ]

49
00:03:26,587 --> 00:03:28,424
>> I ORDERED BUFFALO WINGS AND
SOME ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT.

50
00:03:28,524 --> 00:03:33,530
WHAT ARE YOU GUYS HAVING?
[ LAUGHTER ]

51
00:03:33,630 --> 00:03:38,101
>> SO, THEY HAVE DECIDED TO TAKE
A TWO-WEEK PAUSE AND HAVE AN

52
00:03:38,201 --> 00:03:41,739
IMPEACHMENT TRIAL STARTING IN
THE MIDDLE OF FEBRUARY.

53
00:03:41,839 --> 00:03:44,476
>> BUT, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE JOE
BIDEN ON YOUR FIRST MONDAY AND

54
00:03:44,576 --> 00:03:46,478
YOU HAVE A FEW DAYS IN OFFICE.

55
00:03:46,578 --> 00:03:51,350
>> ON THE PURE COVID FRONT, ALL
THE NEWS IS BAD, BAD, BAD.

56
00:03:51,451 --> 00:03:55,189
>> PEOPLE ARE READY TO TAKE THE
VACCINE BUT WHERE THE HELL ARE

57
00:03:55,289 --> 00:03:56,457
THEY?
THEY'RE NOT THERE.

58
00:03:56,557 --> 00:03:59,893
THE DOSES ARE NOT SHOWING UP
LIKE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO.

59
00:03:59,993 --> 00:04:01,996
>> YOU CAN'T UNDERSCORE ENOUGH
HOW DESPERATE PEOPLE ARE FOR

60
00:04:02,097 --> 00:04:02,897
MORE DOSES.

61
00:04:02,997 --> 00:04:04,132
>> I'M DESPERATE FOR A DOSE.

62
00:04:04,232 --> 00:04:07,603
>> WE NEED TO GET YOU
VACCINATED!

63
00:04:07,703 --> 00:04:10,706
>> I WANT A GOD DAMN VACCINE.
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET ONE.

64
00:04:10,806 --> 00:04:11,307
I'M 65.

65
00:04:12,075 --> 00:04:14,244
>> YOU HAD THE GNAW FEW WITH THE
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SAYING

66
00:04:14,344 --> 00:04:15,679
WE'RE GOING TO RELEASE THE
STOCKPILE.

67
00:04:15,779 --> 00:04:18,116
IT TURNS OUT THERE'S NO
STOCKPILE.

68
00:04:18,216 --> 00:04:22,386
IN ADDITION THERE COULD BE A
MORE LETHAL STRAIN OF THIS THING

69
00:04:22,488 --> 00:04:25,023
THAT IS SPREADING SECRETLY
UNDERNEATH THE ARRAY DOLLAR

70
00:04:25,124 --> 00:04:30,864
UNDERNEATH THE ARRAY DORADAR.

71
00:04:30,964 --> 00:04:32,098
>> WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THE
VACCINE IS.

72
00:04:32,198 --> 00:04:36,437
THERE'S NO GOOD DATA THAT THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS ON HOW

73
00:04:36,537 --> 00:04:38,005
MUCH HAS BEEN PRODUCED AND WHERE
YOU FIND IT.

74
00:04:38,105 --> 00:04:40,575
IT'S THE WORST SUCKER PUNCH IN
THE WORLD FOR THE BIDEN

75
00:04:40,675 --> 00:04:41,443
ADMINISTRATION.

76
00:04:41,977 --> 00:04:44,312
>> TRUMP WASN'T JUST UNPREPARED
BUT COME POUNDED THE PROBLEM.

77
00:04:44,412 --> 00:04:48,017
BUT GIVEN THE ENORMITY OF THE
TASK, THE PEOPLE THEY HAVE IN

78
00:04:48,117 --> 00:04:51,455
PLACE HAVE THE RIGHT KIND OF
EXPERIENCE.

79
00:04:51,555 --> 00:04:53,490
>> YOU HAVE RON KLAIN WHO DID
EBOLA.

80
00:04:53,590 --> 00:04:58,396
YOU HAVE JEFF AND ANDY SLOVAKIAN
YOU HAVE JEFF AND ANDY SLOVAWHO

81
00:04:58,496 --> 00:05:00,231
HELPED OBAMACARE.
THESE ARE PEOPLE EXPERIENCED IN

82
00:05:00,331 --> 00:05:03,502
THE RIGHT WAYS TO DEAL WITH
SOMETHING OF THIS SCALE.

83
00:05:03,602 --> 00:05:05,204
>> BUT PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO
BE PATIENT.

84
00:05:05,304 --> 00:05:08,241
IF YOU'RE NOT PRODUCING RESULTS.

85
00:05:08,341 --> 00:05:11,678
>> SO, THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION,
TO SOME EXTENT, CAN CONTROL THE

86
00:05:11,778 --> 00:05:15,650
FATE ON HOW WELL IT CAN DO ON
THE VACCINE DISTRIBUTION FRONT.

87
00:05:15,750 --> 00:05:17,385
THE PLACE IT'S NOT TRUE IS IN
LEGISLATION.

88
00:05:17,486 --> 00:05:23,059
AND THE BIDEN TEAM LOOKED AT
THIS COVID RELIEF PACKAGE.

89
00:05:23,159 --> 00:05:29,033
A $1.9 TRILLION STIMULUS AND
THEY'RE FACING A SENATE THAT IS

90
00:05:29,133 --> 00:05:30,801
50/50 AND SHOWING EVERY SIGN OF
IT ALREADY.

91
00:05:30,901 --> 00:05:36,007
>> WASHINGTON IS AS POLARIZED AS
IT EVER HAPPEN -- HAS BEEN.

92
00:05:36,107 --> 00:05:40,913
>> IT HAS TO BE SO PAINFUL FOR
BIDEN WHO SPOKE SO SPECIFICALLY

93
00:05:41,013 --> 00:05:43,583
ABOUT HEALING THE COUNTRY AND
ITS DIVISIONS.

94
00:05:43,683 --> 00:05:47,788
>> IN 2009, BARACK OBAMA, IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE FINANCIAL CRISIS,

95
00:05:47,888 --> 00:05:49,089
WANTED TO WORK IN A BIPARTISAN
WAY.

96
00:05:49,189 --> 00:05:52,694
IT TURNED OUT THE ONLY WAY TO
GET ANYTHING DONE IS A STRICTLY

97
00:05:52,794 --> 00:05:53,928
PARTY LINE BASIS.

98
00:05:54,028 --> 00:06:00,502
>> NOT ONE HOUSE REPUBLICAN
VOTED FOR THE ECONOMIC PACKAGE.

99
00:06:00,603 --> 00:06:04,908
>> YOU CAN'T MAKE IT THE MEASURE
OF YOUR SUCCESS AND YOU HAVE TO

100
00:06:05,008 --> 00:06:08,346
BE WILLING TO CUT OFF BIPARTISAN
DISCUSSIONS IF THEY'RE NOT GOING

101
00:06:08,446 --> 00:06:09,647
ANYWHERE.
FOR DEMOCRATS, THEY LOOK BACK

102
00:06:09,747 --> 00:06:12,484
AND SAY THE PROBLEM IS OBAMA
DIDN'T ACT AMBITIOUSLY ENOUGH

103
00:06:12,584 --> 00:06:16,655
WHEN HE DID HAVE THE POWER.
AND NOW THERE IS A DESIRE ON THE

104
00:06:16,755 --> 00:06:19,626
PART OF DEMOCRATS TO SAY FUCK
YOU, WE'RE DONE.

105
00:06:19,726 --> 00:06:21,094
>> WE'RE IN POWER.

106
00:06:21,194 --> 00:06:27,334
>> GOD DAMN, WE'RE GOING TO MAKE
YOU FEEL IT.

107
00:06:27,434 --> 00:06:28,469
>> COVID BILL IS EXTERNAL FOR
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.

108
00:06:28,569 --> 00:06:29,537
THEY'LL GET IT DONE.

109
00:06:29,838 --> 00:06:32,574
>> SO ALL OF THAT IS THE CONTEXT
IN WHICH THE ADMINISTRATION

110
00:06:32,674 --> 00:06:36,045
ARRIVES AND AFTER SPENDING THE
WHOLE 2020 TALKING ABOUT HOW HE

111
00:06:36,145 --> 00:06:41,318
WOULD HANDLE COVID DIFFERENTLY.
THIS IS, LIKE, WHERE RUBBER

112
00:06:41,418 --> 00:06:42,019
MEETS THE ROAD.

113
00:06:42,119 --> 00:06:45,155
>> YEAH.

114
00:06:45,255 --> 00:06:55,367
>> YEP.

115
00:07:06,380 --> 00:07:08,850
>> OH, MY GOD.
I'VE NEVER BEEN THIS CLOSE TO A

116
00:07:08,950 --> 00:07:11,286
PLANE LANDING.

117
00:07:11,386 --> 00:07:18,027
>> HUSTLE OVER INTO THE CARGO
HOLD.

118
00:07:18,127 --> 00:07:24,869
>> DO WE KNOW WHERE THIS CARGO
PLANE IS FROM?

119
00:07:24,969 --> 00:07:37,150
OH, THAT'S WEIRD THAT THE
VACCINES ARE BEING MANUFACTURED.

120
00:07:46,829 --> 00:07:48,597
WHILE THIS PARTICULAR SHIPMENT

121
00:07:48,697 --> 00:07:51,266
DOESN'T CONTAIN COVID VACCINES,
THESE ARE THE CONTAINERS THEY

122
00:07:51,368 --> 00:07:55,705
SHIP THEM IN AND THIS IS THE
PROCESS THE VACCINES GO THROUGH

123
00:07:55,805 --> 00:07:58,342
WHEN THEY ARRIVE.
THE WHOLE THING IS REALLY A

124
00:07:58,442 --> 00:08:01,445
WARTIME EFFORT.
COMMERCIAL PASSENGER AIRLINES,

125
00:08:01,545 --> 00:08:05,684
LIKE UNITED AND DELTA, ARE PART
OF THIS MASSIVE EFFORT TO

126
00:08:05,784 --> 00:08:10,223
TRANSPORT LIFE-SAVING VACCINES
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

127
00:08:10,323 --> 00:08:13,994
>> IT'S A COMPLICATED ENDEAVOR,
ESPECIALLY WHEN ONE OF THE

128
00:08:14,094 --> 00:08:22,203
VACCINES NEEDS TO BE KEPT AT 94
DEGREES BELOW ZERO.

129
00:08:22,303 --> 00:08:26,509
>> ANY OF THE CONTAINERS HAVE
THEIR OWN INTERNAL SYSTEM THAT

130
00:08:26,609 --> 00:08:29,612
TRACKS THE TEMPERATURE.
WE HAVE PERIODIC READINGS AT

131
00:08:29,712 --> 00:08:32,949
DIFFERENT POINTS ALONG THE
JOURNEY.

132
00:08:33,049 --> 00:08:35,286
>> WHAT IS THE TIME BETWEEN WHEN
IT GETS OFF THE AIRPLANE TO WHEN

133
00:08:35,386 --> 00:08:37,021
IT GETS PICKED UP?

134
00:08:37,121 --> 00:08:40,558
>> IT VARIES.
I WOULD SAY IT CAN BE AS QUICK

135
00:08:40,658 --> 00:08:41,126
AS AN HOUR.

136
00:08:41,226 --> 00:08:41,760
>> OKAY.

137
00:08:41,860 --> 00:08:43,929
>> TO AN HOUR AND A HALF.

138
00:08:44,029 --> 00:08:44,897
>> NO DELAYS?

139

>> ABSOLUTELY.

140
00:08:46,299 --> 00:08:49,669
>> WHO IS PICKING IT UP?
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT?

141
00:08:49,769 --> 00:08:52,706
>> HOPEFULLY.
WELL, USUALLY.

142
00:08:52,807 --> 00:08:55,409
>> INDEED, THEN TAKE TO VACCINE
DISTRIBUTION SITES?

143
00:08:55,509 --> 00:08:57,345
>> THEY TAKE IT TO THEIR
CUSTOMER, YES.

144
00:08:57,446 --> 00:09:00,182
>> DO YOU FEEL A SIGH OF RELIEF
WHEN THE VACCINE HAS LEFT THE

145
00:09:00,282 --> 00:09:02,384
BUILDING LIKE WE DID IT?
WE'RE DONE?

THERE'S PROBABLY SOME ANXIETY,

148
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:09,560
RIGHT, YOU DON'T WANT TO MESS IT
UP.

149
00:09:09,660 --> 00:09:14,833
>> NO, WE DON'T.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING

150
00:09:14,933 --> 00:09:19,070
GOES SMOOTHLY FOR ALL OF THE
SHIPMENTS BUT EVEN MORE SO FOR

151
00:09:19,170 --> 00:09:21,106
THIS.

152
00:09:21,207 --> 00:09:22,274

>> VACCINE ROLLOUT IS GETTING A
LOT FASTER BUT IS STILL NOT FAST

154

>> THANK YOU.

177
00:10:32,257 --> 00:10:33,559
>> PERFECT.

178
00:10:33,659 --> 00:10:34,793
>> IT'S AMAZING, ISN'T IT?

179
00:10:34,893 --> 00:10:36,663
>> YEAH.
YOU GET THAT VIEW FROM UP THERE

180
00:10:36,763 --> 00:10:42,870
AND YOU REALIZE WHAT IT IS.
IT'S THE BIGGEST WE THINK IN THE

181
00:10:42,970 --> 00:10:43,437
WORLD.

182
00:10:44,038 --> 00:10:46,440
>> AND WHAT IS THE BREAK DOWN OF
THE VACCINATION?

183
00:10:46,540 --> 00:10:47,142
>> AT THIS POINT, IT'S OVER 65.

184
00:10:47,242 --> 00:10:47,742
>> UH-HUH.

185
00:10:47,842 --> 00:10:48,910
>> AND WHAT ELSE?

186
00:10:49,010 --> 00:10:51,947
>> RIGHT NOW IT'S KIND OF
PROFESSION AND THEN IT'S AGE.

187
00:10:52,047 --> 00:10:55,518
I WOULD LIKE THE FREEDOM TO HELP
BY ZIP CODE.

188
00:10:55,618 --> 00:11:00,257
I WANT TO DO 55.
EVERYBODY ABOVE THAT AGE IN THE

189
00:11:00,357 --> 00:11:03,193
SAN FERNANDO VALLEY WHERE
THERE'S A HUGE OUTBREAK.

190
00:11:03,293 --> 00:11:04,963
ROYAL HEIGHTS NEAR DOWNTOWN.
SOUTH L.A.

191
00:11:05,063 --> 00:11:08,299
THEY'VE GOT MULTIGENERATIONS.
ONE IS AN ESSENTIAL WORKER.

192
00:11:08,399 --> 00:11:13,839
SO EVERYBODY IS VULNERABLE AND
KNOWS GRANT PARENT --

193
00:11:13,939 --> 00:11:18,144
GRANDPARENTS OR DYING OR MIDDLE
AGE PEOPLE THAT ARE DYING.

194
00:11:18,244 --> 00:11:20,514
I GREW UP HERE.
THANK GOD MY DAD DIDN'T HAVE TO

195
00:11:20,615 --> 00:11:24,318
SEE THIS BUT HE PASSED AWAY.
MY DAD WOULD HAVE BEEN 86 YEARS

196
00:11:24,418 --> 00:11:28,490
OLD.
WOULD HAVE BEEN HERE.

197
00:11:28,590 --> 00:11:34,364
YOU KNOW, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN
AMONG HIS GREAT DODGERS STADIUM

198
00:11:34,464 --> 00:11:36,734
MEMORIES.
A LOT OF SENIORS THAT COME HERE

199
00:11:36,834 --> 00:11:38,002
MUST BE EMOTIONAL.

200
00:11:38,102 --> 00:11:40,237
>> YOU SEE KIDS BRINGING THEIR
PARENTS.

201
00:11:40,337 --> 00:11:44,309
IT'S EMOTIONAL FOR THE PARENTS.
IT'S EMOTIONAL FOR THE KID.

202
00:11:44,409 --> 00:11:47,713
>> AND THEN YOU SEE COUPLES WHO
COME THROUGH HERE AND THE WIFE

203
00:11:47,813 --> 00:11:52,018
KNOWS HER HUSBAND'S CHRONIC
HEALTH CONDITION OR VICE VERSA.

204
00:11:52,118 --> 00:11:53,186
>> UH-HUH.

205
00:11:53,286 --> 00:11:58,960

DRIVING THEM HERE IS SAVING

206
00:11:59,060 --> 00:11:59,694
THEIR LIFE.

207
00:11:59,894 --> 00:12:01,362
>> SO I DO CHECK IN IN THE
MORNING.

208
00:12:01,462 --> 00:12:02,664
YEAH.
IT'S THE FIRST PLACE.

00:12:02,764 --> 00:12:06,568
THEY JOKE IN THE CHECK IN LINE
IN THE FRONT IT'S VACCINE LAND.

210
00:12:06,669 --> 00:12:10,707
THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH.
WE FINALLY ARE THERE AFTER THIS

211
00:12:10,807 --> 00:12:13,309
YEAR OF HELL WE'VE BEEN LIVING
THROUGH.

212
00:12:13,410 --> 00:12:15,279
THEY FEEL THIS IS THE MOMENT
THEY'RE FINALLY SAFE.

213
00:12:15,379 --> 00:12:16,447
>> HI, YOU READY?

214
00:12:16,547 --> 00:12:17,548
>> READY.

215

>> ALL RIGHT.
EASY, RIGHT?

218
00:12:21,687 --> 00:12:24,256
>> OH, YEAH.
ABSOLUTELY.

219
00:12:24,356 --> 00:12:28,161
I'M GOING TO OPEN THE DOOR SO I
DON'T HAVE TO REACH IN.

220
00:12:28,261 --> 00:12:29,862
>> 12,000 IS THE CAPACITY HERE.

221
00:12:29,962 --> 00:12:32,132
>> 12,000 EASILY.
CAPACITY IS MORE THAN THAT.

222
00:12:32,232 --> 00:12:36,603
IF YOU HAVE THE DOSAGE, YOU
COULD DO COMFORTABLY 20,000.

223
00:12:36,704 --> 00:12:40,141
THEY ALSO NEED THE SUPPLY.
FOR SOME IT'S LIKE WHY DON'T I

224
00:12:40,241 --> 00:12:43,612
HAVE MY VACCINE.
DAYS LIKE THIS, NOT ENOUGH

225
00:12:43,713 --> 00:12:45,748
PEOPLE ARE GETTING THEIR DOSES.
AT THIS PACE, WHICH IT WON'T

226
00:12:45,848 --> 00:12:50,487
STAY, IF IT WERE TO STAY, IT
WOULD BE A YEAR AND A HALF

227
00:12:50,587 --> 00:12:54,058
BEFORE EVERYBODY --

228
00:12:54,158 --> 00:12:57,361
>> THIS GUY IS NEW WITH CAMERAS.
BE A LITTLE GENTLE WITH HIM.

229
00:12:57,462 --> 00:13:00,132
>> IT'S NOT JUST THE MAYOR OF
THE CITY BUT THE MOST

230
00:13:00,232 --> 00:13:04,503
KNOWLEDGEABLE ON THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS STUFF.

231
00:13:04,604 --> 00:13:14,782
>> NOW HIM.

232
00:13:16,051 --> 00:13:18,487
>> I HAVE BEEN TAKING ON BIG
CHALLENGES LIKE THIS FOR A

233
00:13:18,587 --> 00:13:19,654
DECADE NOW OR SO?

234
00:13:19,755 --> 00:13:20,455
>> YEAH.

235
00:13:20,555 --> 00:13:22,258
>> YEAH.
WE ALWAYS FELT ESPECIALLY

236
00:13:22,358 --> 00:13:25,762
STARTING IN HAITI THAT NOTHING
YOU CAN DO IS SUSTAINABLE

237
00:13:25,862 --> 00:13:27,231
WITHOUT COOPERATION AND
PARTNERSHIP WITH GOVERNANCE.

238
00:13:27,331 --> 00:13:28,499
>> RIGHT.

239
00:13:28,599 --> 00:13:30,934
>> SO WHEN THIS HAPPENED, WE HAD
WORKED THE EPIDEMIC OF ALCOHOL

240
00:13:31,034 --> 00:13:38,010
WORKED THE EPIDEMIC OF ALCOCHOL
IN HAITI AND THE NEXT THING YOU

241
00:13:38,110 --> 00:13:41,046
KNOW, WE WERE ABLE TO HELP SCALE
IT UP, YOU KNOW, BY THE BODIES

242
00:13:41,147 --> 00:13:45,418
OUT THERE AND THE YOUNG LEADERS
THAT HAVE BUILT UP THROUGH THE

243
00:13:45,519 --> 00:13:46,219
ORGANIZATION.

244
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:52,727
>> AND WE CERTAINLY FEEL
CONFIDENT THAT WE HAVE SOLUTIONS

00:13:52,827 --> 00:13:53,928
THAT ARE REP CABLE FOR THE
COUNTRY AND THE MORE.

246
00:13:54,029 --> 00:13:57,432
>> SO THE BIDEN PEOPLE HAVE
CLEARLY -- THIS IS LIKE FRONT

247
00:13:57,533 --> 00:13:59,168
AND CENTER.
IN IS JOB ONE.

248
00:13:59,268 --> 00:14:01,838
WHAT IS THE BIG HEADLINE MESSAGE
THAT YOU GIVE TO THOSE GUYS

249
00:14:01,938 --> 00:14:03,773
ABOUT IT?

250
00:14:03,873 --> 00:14:05,643
>> HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO
KNOW?

251
00:14:05,743 --> 00:14:09,513
>> CIRCUMVENT THE BUREAUCRACIES.
INVENTORY DIRECTLY TO THE

252
00:14:09,613 --> 00:14:12,918
LOCALITY, ESPECIALLY WHERE YOU
HAVE A FUNCTIONAL ONE.

253
00:14:13,018 --> 00:14:17,023
AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO
SUPPORT ALL OF THAT.

254
00:14:17,123 --> 00:14:18,691
>> YEAH.
ROLL THE MONEY OUT TOMORROW AND

255
00:14:18,791 --> 00:14:22,930
THE VACCINES ANNE WE'LL -- AND
WE'LL DO THE REST.

256
00:14:23,030 --> 00:14:23,964
IT'S LITERALLY THAT SIMPLE.

257
00:14:24,064 --> 00:14:25,365
>> JOE BIDEN HAS BEEN PRESIDENT
FOR A WEEK.

258
00:14:25,465 --> 00:14:28,469
CAN YOU SEE A DIFFERENCE?
IF YOU CAN SEE A DIFFERENCE

259
00:14:28,570 --> 00:14:30,038
TANGIBLY, WHAT IS THE
DIFFERENCE?

260
00:14:30,138 --> 00:14:33,609
>> I'VE BEEN PART OF GROUPS,
WHETHER IT'S ON CLIMATE, WHETHER

261
00:14:33,709 --> 00:14:36,612
IT'S ON COVID, WHETHER IT'S ON
THE STIMULUS PACKAGE.

262
00:14:36,712 --> 00:14:38,849
WE'RE PART OF THOSE
CONVERSATIONS.

263
00:14:38,949 --> 00:14:42,786
AND THE TANGIBLE BENEFITS ARE,
OBVIOUSLY, THE AMERICAN RESCUE

264
00:14:42,886 --> 00:14:45,523
PLAN.
DOESN'T WRITE OFF LOCAL

265
00:14:45,623 --> 00:14:47,258
GOVERNMENTS.
BY THE WAY, MITCH McCONNELL AND

266
00:14:47,358 --> 00:14:51,230
OTHERS WERE HYPOCRITICAL ABOUT.
THEY FUNDED LOCAL GOVERNMENT BUT

267
00:14:51,330 --> 00:14:54,767
IT WAS SCHOOLS, TRANSIT AGENCIES
BUT WANTED TO MAKE AN ENEMY OF

268
00:14:54,868 --> 00:14:56,069
CITIES FOR WHATEVER REASON.

269
00:14:56,169 --> 00:15:02,443
>> WHAT DO YOU NEED TO SEE COME
OUT OF A COVID RELIEF/STIMULUS

00:15:02,543 --> 00:15:03,077
PACKAGE.

271
00:15:03,744 --> 00:15:05,246
>> I WAS HERE IN 2009 IT WAS TOO
SLOW AND NOT BIG ENOUGH.

272
00:15:05,346 --> 00:15:08,717
WE NEED TO GO FASTER AND BIGGER.

273
00:15:08,817 --> 00:15:13,356
>> THE RACE TO QUICKLY INOCULATE
AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE IS

274
00:15:13,456 --> 00:15:19,963
EVEN MORE URGENT BECAUSE OF NEW
VARIANTS DOCTORS SAY ARE HIGHLY

275
00:15:20,063 --> 00:15:21,565
TRANSMISBLE AND POSSIBLY MORE
DEADLY.

283
00:15:37,651 --> 00:15:42,657
>> I KNOW THAT MANY AMERICANS
ARE ANXIOUS AND EAGER TO GET

284
00:15:42,757 --> 00:15:44,593
VACCINATED.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW WE'RE TAKING

285
00:15:44,693 --> 00:15:50,400
THIS ISSUE ON WITH INCREDIBLE
URGENCY AND PURPOSE.

VACCINATIONS PER DAY.

THIS WEEK, HE'S PUSHING US TO

VIEW 1 MILLION PER DAY AS THE
FLOOR.

289
00:15:58,876 --> 00:16:03,315
NOT THE CEILING.
TODAY WE'RE RELEASING MORE

290
00:16:03,415 --> 00:16:07,486
SUPPLY.

SORRY.

294
00:16:17,265 --> 00:16:20,568

>> YEAH.
THAT'S GOOD.

298
00:16:33,283 --> 00:16:37,655
>> BIDEN NOTORIOUSLY HAS A
TENDENCY TO GET OVER HIS KNEES,

299
00:16:37,755 --> 00:16:40,859
IF YOU WILL, AND EVEN ON COVID,
IT FEELS LIKE HE'S GETTING OUT A

300
00:16:40,959 --> 00:16:44,831
LITTLE BIT AHEAD OF WHERE THE
TEAM IS AND SAYING, LIKE, HE

301
00:16:44,931 --> 00:16:47,834
WANTS 1.5 MILLION VAX WANTS 1.5
MILLION VACCINATIONS A

302
00:16:47,934 --> 00:16:50,904
DAY OR SAYING THERE MIGHT BE
HERD IMMUNITY BY THE END OF

303
00:16:51,005 --> 00:16:54,074
SUMMER WHICH IS AN EARLIER
PREDICTION YOU MADE.

304
00:16:54,174 --> 00:16:56,211
>> I THINK HE'S PUSHING THE TEAM
TO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU COULDN'T

305
00:16:56,311 --> 00:16:59,581
POSSIBLY GO FAST ENOUGH FOR THIS
CRISIS.

306
00:16:59,681 --> 00:17:04,754
TO CHASE AN EXPONENTIALLY
GROWING VIRUS IS INCREDIBLY

307
00:17:04,854 --> 00:17:05,287
HARD.

308
00:17:05,488 --> 00:17:06,356

>> DID THE VERY I CAN'T --
VARIANTS KEEP YOU AT NIGHT?

310
00:17:08,425 --> 00:17:11,194
IT'S DISPERSED ON SUCH A GLOBAL
SCALE.

311
00:17:11,294 --> 00:17:14,799
THERE COULD BE A STRAIN THAT
COMES UP THAT RENDERS THE

312
00:17:14,899 --> 00:17:17,669
VACCINE INEFFECTIVE.
IS THAT THE STUFF YOU WORRY

313
00:17:17,770 --> 00:17:18,904
ABOUT AT NIGHT?

314
00:17:19,004 --> 00:17:23,443
>> I ONLY SMILE BECAUSE IT'S,
LIKE, ITEM 50 THAT KEEPS ME UP

315
00:17:23,543 --> 00:17:26,212
AT NIGHT.
AND, LOOK, I DON'T KNOW WHETHER

316
00:17:26,312 --> 00:17:30,518
IT HELPS PEOPLE TO FEEL I'M NOT
SLEEPING BUT IT'S HARD TO SLEEP

317
00:17:30,618 --> 00:17:32,820
WHEN YOU HAVE THIS TO DO AND
THESE THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT.

318
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,890
I THINK THAT'S OKAY.
I THINK SOMETIMES WE PROBABLY

319
00:17:34,990 --> 00:17:36,892
SHOULD HAVE DIFFICULT TIME
SLEEPING.

KEEPS ME UP AT NIGHT?

VACCINATED QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

>> YEAH.

325
00:17:51,409 --> 00:17:53,611
>> THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S
PLAN SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN NO PLAN,

326
00:17:53,711 --> 00:17:54,145
RIGHT?

00:17:54,245 --> 00:17:54,913
>> YEAH.

328
00:17:55,413 --> 00:17:56,615

00:17:56,715 --> 00:18:00,586
OUT THE VACCINE.
YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN GENTLE IN THE

330
00:18:00,686 --> 00:18:03,423
CRITICISM OF WHAT YOU INHERITED
BECAUSE OF THE REALITY THAT YOU

331
00:18:03,523 --> 00:18:07,095
NEED TRUMP VOTERS TO GET THE
VACCINE TO.

332
00:18:07,195 --> 00:18:09,197
YOU NEED TRUMP VOTERS TO WEAR
MASKS.

333
00:18:09,297 --> 00:18:12,835
YOU NEED RED STATES TO BUY IN IF
WE'RE GOING END THE CORONAVIRUS.

334
00:18:12,935 --> 00:18:17,005
>> PRESIDENT BIDEN SAYS WE NEED
TO UNIFY THE COUNTRY AND THIS IS

335
00:18:17,106 --> 00:18:18,541
NOT A DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN
ISSUE.

336
00:18:18,641 --> 00:18:22,512
THIS IS A PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE.
CONGRESS NEEDS TO STEP UP.

337
00:18:22,612 --> 00:18:24,982
I THINK IT'S SHOCKING TO MANY
PEOPLE THAT THIS ISN'T

338
00:18:25,082 --> 00:18:29,154
CONSIDERED UNIVERSALLY AN
EMERGENCY AND THAT MONEY FOR

339
00:18:29,254 --> 00:18:34,126
VACCINATIONS, MONEY FOR SCHOOLS
ISN'T, LIKE, A 96-4 KIND OF

340
00:18:34,227 --> 00:18:35,361
VOTE.
THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT

341
00:18:35,461 --> 00:18:37,797
SHOULD BREAK DOWN ON PARTY
LINES.

342
00:18:37,897 --> 00:18:40,667
I THINK PEOPLE ARE AROUND THE
COUNTRY WANT TO BE VACCINATED,

343
00:18:40,767 --> 00:18:45,373
THEY WANT TO SEE THEIR SCHOOLS
OPEN SAFELY, AND THOSE THINGS

344
00:18:45,473 --> 00:18:47,942
CAN'T HAPPEN UNLESS CONGRESS
GETS INVOLVED.

345
00:18:48,042 --> 00:18:50,612
THIS IS NOT A SOLO.
THIS IS AN ORG

346
00:18:50,713 --> 00:18:54,383
THIS IS AN ORCHESTRA.
IF YOU WANT TO DEFEAT COVID-19,

347
00:18:54,483 --> 00:18:58,688
IT'S THE BOSTON SYMPHONY
ORCHESTRA AND WE HAVE TO BE THE

348
00:18:58,788 --> 00:19:00,690
BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.

349
00:19:00,790 --> 00:19:04,328
>> PRESIDENT BIDEN CONTINUES TO
PURSUE THAT DEAL FOR HIS

350
00:19:04,428 --> 00:19:09,902
CORONAVIRUS RELIEF PACKAGE.
REPUBLICANS ARE LARGELY BALKING

351
00:19:10,002 --> 00:19:13,072
AT THIS.
HOW DO THEY MAKE IT HAPPEN IN A

352
00:19:13,173 --> 00:19:14,274
BIPARTISAN WAY?

353
00:19:14,374 --> 00:19:19,079
>> THERE'S NO BETTER -- RELIEF
FOR PRESIDENT BIDEN AND THIS

354
00:19:19,180 --> 00:19:20,681
CONGRESS.
IN ORDER TO DO THAT, THEY HAVE

355
00:19:20,781 --> 00:19:25,387
TO GET IT THROUGH A 50/50 SENATE
WHICH IS A HUGE DMAJ THIS

356
00:19:25,487 --> 00:19:32,528
INCREDIBLY PARTISAN ENVIRONMENT.
SO IF WE'RE GOING TO TALK TO

357
00:19:32,628 --> 00:19:35,032
DEBBY STABENOW.
SHE SITS ON THE BUDGET AND

358
00:19:35,132 --> 00:19:38,635
FINANCE COMMITTEES, WHICH ARE
KEY TO PASSING THIS BILL.

359
00:19:42,774 --> 00:19:43,942
>> HI!
HOW ARE YOU?

360
00:19:44,042 --> 00:19:46,212
>> I'M GOOD.

361
00:19:46,312 --> 00:19:48,514
>> GOOD TO SEE YOU.
WELCOME TO NOW WHAT WILL ONCE

362
00:19:48,614 --> 00:19:49,215
AGAIN BE MY --

363
00:19:49,315 --> 00:19:50,916
>> YEAH.
THAT'S RIGHT.

364
00:19:51,016 --> 00:19:53,887
I WAS GOING TO ASK WHEN DO
YOU -- IT'S A PAINTING.

365
00:19:53,987 --> 00:19:57,225
>> OH, YEAH.
A PORTRAIT.

366
00:19:57,325 --> 00:19:59,794
WE'RE UNTIL THE WE'RE UNTIL IN
THE PROCESS OF G

367
00:19:59,894 --> 00:20:01,862
MINE TOGETHER NOW.
SENATOR ROBERTS, I DON'T KNOW IF

368
00:20:01,963 --> 00:20:06,168
HIS IS UP NOW BUT HE JUST GOT
HIS.

369
00:20:06,268 --> 00:20:08,871
BRAND NEW.
SO MINE WILL PROBABLY GO THERE.

370
00:20:08,972 --> 00:20:09,606
[ LAUGHTER ]

371
00:20:10,206 --> 00:20:12,508
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THE BILLS
$1.89 TRILLION, WHICH IS THE

372
00:20:12,609 --> 00:20:14,245
SIZE OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
IN 1981.

373
00:20:14,345 --> 00:20:16,046
SO IT'S A BIG TICKET.

374
00:20:16,146 --> 00:20:16,880
>> YEAH.

375
00:20:17,448 --> 00:20:20,552
>> WHAT DO YOU SAY TO CRITICS OF
THE CURRENT BILL WHO SAY IT'S

376
00:20:20,652 --> 00:20:21,686
TOO EXPENSIVE?

377
00:20:21,953 --> 00:20:27,493
>> THIS NEEDS TO BE TO SOLVE THE
PROBLEM AND GET THINGS RIGHT.

378
00:20:27,593 --> 00:20:29,061
THIS IS A QUESTION OF
PRIORITIES.

379
00:20:29,161 --> 00:20:32,666
WHEN I SEE REPUBLICAN COLLEAGUES
TALKING ABOUT THEY THINK IT'S

380
00:20:32,766 --> 00:20:37,238
TOO MUCH TO SPEND ON THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE, ON STEPPING

381
00:20:37,338 --> 00:20:40,743
DEATHS, I MIGHT LOOK BACK AT
2017 AND HOW REPUBLICANS CAME IN

382
00:20:40,843 --> 00:20:48,184
AND THEY MOVED QUICKLY ON A
PARTISAN BASIS ON OVER $2

383
00:20:48,285 --> 00:20:51,956
TRILLION TAX CUT THAT NOT MANY
FOLKS IN MY STATE ACTUALLY

384
00:20:52,056 --> 00:20:53,824
RECEIVED.
IT DIDN'T CREATE JOBS.

385
00:20:53,924 --> 00:20:56,127
IT DIDN'T TRICKLE DOWN.
OUR FOLKS ARE STILL WAITING FOR

386
00:20:56,227 --> 00:21:02,434
IT TO TRICKLE DOWN.
IT JUST HELPS FOLKS THAT WERE

387
00:21:02,534 --> 00:21:05,238
WEALTHY AND WELL CONNECTED.
THAT WAS THE REPUBLICAN FIGHT

388
00:21:05,338 --> 00:21:06,572
ALREADY.
THAT'S NOT MY PRIORITY.

389
00:21:06,673 --> 00:21:08,642
THAT'S NOT THE PRIORITY OF
PRESIDENT BIDEN OR VICE

390
00:21:08,742 --> 00:21:11,178
PRESIDENT HARRIS OR THE
DEMOCRATS.

391
00:21:11,278 --> 00:21:14,616
OUR PRIORITY IS EVERYBODY ELSE
HAS BEEN WORKING REALLY, REALLY

392
00:21:14,716 --> 00:21:18,153
HARD AND DESERVES A FAIR SHOT
AND DESERVES TO KNOW THEY'RE

393
00:21:18,253 --> 00:21:21,424
GOING TO BE ABLE TO PROTECT
THEIR FAMILIES.

394
00:21:21,524 --> 00:21:23,159
>> VERY CONTENTIOUS START FOR
THE SENATE.

395
00:21:23,259 --> 00:21:25,696
WHAT DOES IT SAY ABOUT THE
PROSPECT OF FINDING BIPARTISAN

396
00:21:25,796 --> 00:21:33,237
DEAL ON COVID GIVEN HOW SCHUMER
IS STARTING.

397
00:21:33,338 --> 00:21:34,439
>> WELL, MR. MITCH McCONNELL IS
DOING WHAT HE DOES.

398
00:21:34,539 --> 00:21:36,508
THE ULTIMATE OBSTRUCTIONIST
UNDER PRESIDENT OBAMA AND HIS

399
00:21:36,608 --> 00:21:40,813
GOAL, AS WE KNOW, TO MAKE HIM A
ONE-TERM PRESIDENT AND STOP

400
00:21:40,913 --> 00:21:45,185
ANYTHING IF IT LOOKED LIKE IT
WOULD HELP THE PRESIDENT BE

401
00:21:45,285 --> 00:21:46,453
SUCCESSFUL.
I DON'T KNOW YET HOW FAR HE'LL

402
00:21:46,553 --> 00:21:47,988
GO WITH THIS PRESIDENT.

403
00:21:48,089 --> 00:21:54,563
>> DO YOU THINK COVID COULD BE
SUCH A REAL, YOU KNOW, EXTESHL

404
00:21:54,663 --> 00:21:57,499
SENSE OF CRISIS FOR THIS COUNTRY
AND THE WORLD THAT MAYBE HE

405
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:58,568
WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY.

406
00:21:58,668 --> 00:22:01,471
>> I WOULD HOPE SO BUT I
REMEMBER AFTER WE DID THE

407
00:22:01,571 --> 00:22:05,309
C.A.R.E.S. ACT IN THE SPRING,
MITCH SAID HE DIDN'T THINK THERE

408
00:22:05,409 --> 00:22:09,114
WAS A NEED TO TAKE ANYMORE
ACTION IN MAY AND JUNE AND JULY

409
00:22:09,214 --> 00:22:12,217
AND AUGUST AND SO ON.
ULTIMATELY HE CAME ALONG.

410
00:22:12,317 --> 00:22:12,784
>> YEAH.

411
00:22:12,884 --> 00:22:13,952
>> HE DIDN'T LEAD IT.

412
00:22:14,053 --> 00:22:16,622
>> AT THE END OF THE DAY, I KNOW
YOU LIKE TO DO THIS IN A

413
00:22:16,722 --> 00:22:19,559
BIPARTISAN FASHION, BUT IF YOU
HAVE TO DO IT IN A PARTISAN

414
00:22:19,659 --> 00:22:21,228
FASHION, ARE YOU PREPARED TO DO
THAT?

415
00:22:21,328 --> 00:22:24,030
>> YES.
NO QUESTION ABOUT IT.

416
00:22:24,131 --> 00:22:28,069
WE'RE THE MAJORITY SO WE'LL ACT
LIKE THE MAJORITY.

417
00:22:28,169 --> 00:22:32,541
>> CONCERNS GROWING OVER WHAT
AFFECT THE NEW COVID VARIANT

418
00:22:32,641 --> 00:22:35,377
COULD HAVE IN THE COMING MONTHS.

419
00:22:35,477 --> 00:22:37,647
>> IT'S BEGINNING TO SPREAD.

420
00:22:37,747 --> 00:22:39,849
>> THIS IS DEPRESSING.
IT'S NOT WHAT PEOPLE WANT TO

421
00:22:39,949 --> 00:22:45,389
HEAR.
IT'S UPSEVENTYING -- UPSETTING.

422
00:22:45,489 --> 00:22:51,763
>> IT'S VITAL FOR AMERICA.

423
00:22:51,863 --> 00:22:56,903
>> 2008 WHEN CONGRESS WAS TOO
TIMID AND CONSTRAINED IN ITS

424
00:22:57,003 --> 00:22:59,373
RESPONSE TO THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL
CRISIS AND IT TOOK YEARS, YEARS

425
00:22:59,473 --> 00:23:03,010
FOR THE ECONOMY TO GET OUT OF
RECESSION.

426
00:23:03,110 --> 00:23:10,119
WE MUST NOT REPEAT THAT MISTAKE.

427
00:23:10,219 --> 00:23:14,089
>> IN JANUARY OF 2009, BARACK
OBAMA TOOK OVER IN THE MIDDLE OF

428
00:23:14,190 --> 00:23:19,129
A MAJOR FINANCIAL CRISIS.
BARACK OBAMA'S WHITE HOUSE CHIEF

429
00:23:19,229 --> 00:23:24,168
OF STAFF WAS RAHM EMANUEL.
RAHM KNOWS THE TENSION THAT

430
00:23:24,268 --> 00:23:29,842
COMES FROM WHEN THE PRESIDENT IS
TRYING TO GET A BIG PACKAGE OUT

431
00:23:29,942 --> 00:23:34,113
OF THE CONGRESS.

432
00:23:34,214 --> 00:23:38,452
>> A CRISIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO
FIX NOT ONLY ADDRESS THAT CRISIS

433
00:23:38,552 --> 00:23:43,859
BUT ADDRESS A LONG-TERM PROBLEM
THAT WAS UNDERNEATH THAT CRISIS.

434
00:23:43,959 --> 00:23:47,162
>> WHEN BARACK OBAMA COMES INTO
OFFICE, HE HAS TO IMMEDIATELY

435
00:23:47,262 --> 00:23:51,567
TAKE ACTION WITH A MAJOR
STIMULUS PACKAGE.

436
00:23:51,667 --> 00:23:55,472
>> WE START 2009 IN THE MIDST OF
A CRISIS UNLIKE ANY WE HAVE SEEN

437
00:23:55,572 --> 00:23:58,877
IN OUR LIFETIME.

438
00:23:58,977 --> 00:24:03,081
>> YOU'RE COMING INTO THE WHITE
HOUSE CHIEF OF STAFF'S OFFICE.

439
00:24:03,181 --> 00:24:11,725
>> JANUARY 20th, 2009, AS THE
WORLD IS TEETER ON THE EDGE OF

440
00:24:11,825 --> 00:24:14,761
GLOBAL ECONOMIC COLLAPSE WHAT DO
YOU DO?

441
00:24:14,861 --> 00:24:19,100
>> WHAT DID YOU DO?

442
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:20,268
>> OH.

443
00:24:20,368 --> 00:24:24,139
>> WE CALL IT THE E GREAT
RECESSION BUT OBAMA BEGINS TO

444
00:24:24,239 --> 00:24:31,347
RECEIVE ADVICE FROM THE
FINANCIAL TEAM THAT THIS COULD

445
00:24:31,448 --> 00:24:34,485
BECOME A SMALL DECISION.
THE AUTO INDUSTRY, WHICH WAS THE

446
00:24:34,585 --> 00:24:39,257
INDUSTRIAL BASE OF THE MIDWEST
COLLAPSED.

447
00:24:39,357 --> 00:24:42,895
YOU HAD A FINANCIAL SECTOR WHERE
NOBODY COULD GET A COLLEGE LOAN

448
00:24:42,995 --> 00:24:47,366
OR CAR LOAN OR SMALL BUSINESS
LOAN BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING

449
00:24:47,466 --> 00:24:53,608
GOING ON.

450
00:24:53,708 --> 00:24:56,244
>> IT WOULD BE OVERWHELMING
FORCE ON DAY ONE.

451
00:24:56,344 --> 00:24:59,548
YOU CAN'T GO THROUGH THESE ON A
CHECKLIST SO YOU HAD TO HIT THE

452
00:24:59,648 --> 00:25:00,482
WHOLE SYSTEM HARD.

453
00:25:00,583 --> 00:25:02,685
>> RIGHT.
AND THE FIRST MONTH YOU CAME IN

454
00:25:02,785 --> 00:25:06,256
AS AN OFFICE CHIEF OF STAFF AND
YOU WANTED TO PASS THE RECOVERY

455
00:25:06,356 --> 00:25:10,561
ACT BUT THERE WAS PRESSURE TO DO
IT IN A BIPARTISAN WAY.

456
00:25:10,661 --> 00:25:11,395
LIKE, WHAT WAS THAT?

457
00:25:11,495 --> 00:25:13,164
>> IT DID HAPPEN IN A BIPARTISAN
WAY.

458
00:25:13,264 --> 00:25:15,601
>> YOU HAVE THREE REPUBLICANS.
THREE REPUBLICAN SENATORS VOTE

459
00:25:15,701 --> 00:25:21,341
FOR IT BUT NOBODY IN THE HOUSE.

460
00:25:21,441 --> 00:25:22,642
>> WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THIS?

461
00:25:22,742 --> 00:25:30,351
>> YOU NEEDED REPUBLICAN VOTES.
PEOPLE FORGET WE HAD A DEMOCRAT

462
00:25:30,451 --> 00:25:37,125
OF NEBRASKA WHO IS SAYING I'M
ONLY VOTING FOR THIS IF YOU HAVE

463
00:25:37,225 --> 00:25:37,893
REPUBLICANS.

464
00:25:38,494 --> 00:25:45,402
>> HARRY REID AND I WERE HOLDING
ON TO SUSAN COLIN'S ANKLES.

465
00:25:45,502 --> 00:25:46,603
ALSO, THEY WOULD WORK WITH THEM.

466
00:25:46,703 --> 00:25:49,674
>> THE PRESIDENT IS ABOUT TO
SIGN INTO LAW WHAT IS, I

467
00:25:49,774 --> 00:25:51,376
BELIEVE, A LANDMARK ACHIEVEMENT.

468
00:25:51,476 --> 00:25:55,581
>> AND WE HAD TO BUILD IT THAT
WAY BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT OF THE

469
00:25:55,681 --> 00:25:59,452
UNITED STATES WANTED A BIG
AGENDA.

470
00:25:59,552 --> 00:26:00,453
MAINLY AROUND HEALTH CARE AND
FINANCIAL REFORM.

471
00:26:00,553 --> 00:26:01,154
>> RIGHT.

472
00:26:01,788 --> 00:26:04,557
>> WE'RE BUILDING BIPARTISAN
MAJORITIES IN THE FIRST YEAR.

473
00:26:04,658 --> 00:26:09,196
>> FOR BIDEN, YOU KNOW, EVERYONE
IS SAYING THE BIG LESSON IS

474
00:26:09,296 --> 00:26:11,233
DON'T WAIT FOR THE REPUBLICANS
AND THEY'RE HOPING THEY'RE NEVER

475
00:26:11,333 --> 00:26:14,936
GOING TO COME AROUND.

476
00:26:15,037 --> 00:26:15,504
>> NO.

477
00:26:16,372 --> 00:26:18,441
>> I THINK ONE OF THE CHALLENGES
YOU WANT TO LOOK AT IT REQUIRES

478
00:26:18,541 --> 00:26:19,475
A SET OF SOLUTIONS THAT ARE X.

479
00:26:19,575 --> 00:26:21,277
>> RIGHT.

480
00:26:21,378 --> 00:26:27,385
>> THE CONGRESS, GIVEN HOW
EVENLY DIVIDED IT IS, ONLY

481
00:26:27,485 --> 00:26:32,625
PERMITS Y.

482
00:26:32,725 --> 00:26:37,797
>> WHEN THEY OPENED THE PRESS
BRIEFING SHE STARTED WE'VE DOING

483
00:26:37,898 --> 00:26:40,100
MEETINGS WITH PEOPLE ON THE HILL
AND MAYORS.

484
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,471
IT'S LIKE THEY'RE TRYING TO LAY
DOWN THE RECORD THAT THEY HAVE

485
00:26:43,571 --> 00:26:46,140
REACHED OUT.
SO WHEN REPUBLICANS DON'T GET ON

486
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,311
BOARD, THEY CAN SHOW THE COUNTRY
THEY TRIED.

487
00:26:49,411 --> 00:26:51,680
>> BUT IF YOU GET BIPARTISAN,
GREAT.

488
00:26:51,780 --> 00:27:15,174
IF YOU DON'T, GET CAUGHT TRYING.
THAT'S
