There is no reason that needed to be part of this package. we understand the republicans are in the majority. we understand fundamentally that mitch mccon hall 42 -- all 42 senators sign a pledge saying nothing happens in the senate until we get tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires a pretty incredible stance to use that -- to use that tax cut and block unemployment extensions and all that. >> how do you break? it? how do you break the republicans? that is the issue, not talking louder, not...
