And to know your objective, you have to know what your core values are. So, what is the republican position on covid relief . Is there some consensus within the party on what that Relief Package should look like . And who exactly is doing the negotiating for the republicans . It is becoming increasingly clear that republicans do not always speak the same language and sometimes there is no one directing the choir. Take the issue of stimulus checks. Some conservatives argue, yes, there are people in need and yes they deserve help. But that is not the role of the federal government. It is a minority position, for sure, but it is in fact a position of some conservatives. I think the better position is federal and state governments essentially took income and jobs and opportunities in an effort to control the pandemic. And by took, i mean under the takings clause of the constitution. Jobs, income, opportunity were taken in an effort to control the virus. And we understand why government took action and we understand why that action was warranted. But the government must make people hold for what was lost. Once we accept that there was a taking of sorts by government in an effort to advance a larger goal, there must be compensation. Think about the highways you drive on, the airport to fly in and out appeared who owned the land of those roadways and runways we are on . Who owns the land that your schools are on . Who owns the land of Interstate Highway System . And the roads that are yet to be built . Who owns that land . Your fellow citizens owned that land. Thats who. Your fellow citizens own much if not all of that land and get it was taken. It was taken for what it was deemed to be a higher purpose. And with the taking has to come appropriate compensation. It is entirely constitutional. It is the conservative position if government takes something and their desire for higher purpose, there has to be compensation. The issue then becomes what is the proper amount of compensation . Some people have not been financially hurt by this pandemic. They have been impacted, for sure in other ways. We all have. But if you have suffered no economic loss, there is no need for compensation for that. If nothing is taken, then nothing is owed. But for those who did lose, chances are great that it was more than 600. It was more than 1400. It was perhaps even more than 2,000. So, isnt the better argument to determine who is in need and then have a sliding scale based on real losses suffered by the American People . Why is that not the better argument . Fair compensation for government taking. That requires a government smart and nimble enough to actually determine who has been impacted and who has not and then compensate those who are truly hurting. That used to be conservatism. A limited federal government that excels at its Core Functions and inspires public trust in the process. The Conservative Movement wants to find those who have been impacted. Populism just wants to give Everybody Money whether they deserve it or not. A vibrant republic debates these issues and a vibrant Political Party knows what it believes before it takes meetings with the president at the white house. It so, how vibrant is the g. O. P. . Joining me now, editor katie . How are you . Good, trey. Good to see you. Trey its good to see you also. So, there was a meeting at the white house and there are 10 g. O. P. Senators. Are they supposed to represent all the senators or are they representing conservatism . I mean, who are they and how did they get there . Well, first of all i think they would say they are representing their constituents. The group of republicans that were there today would be considered the more moderate version of the g. O. P. Mitt romney, for example. And you have to remember that they are the ones that sent a letter, ten of the senators, to joe biden to ask the house to have a conversation. Joe biden didnt reach out to them. He wanted to bring the country together on this issue. Now these republicans are offering a slimmeddown version of what joe biden wants. So they are offering a 600 billion package. And they are saying instead of doing this one size fits all to trillion Dollar Package when they have already spent a lot of money on this covid relief already, lets take a step back and keep it more limited in the 600 billion figure. In terms of who they represent, you would say they are the more moderate version of what you see on capitol hill. Tom from North Carolina was there. A number of different senators. Trey well, katie, i made a d in my last math class. I want to confess that. But there are 50 democrats. 50 plus ten is 60 or am i just being cynical . Are there 10 senators for a reason . There may be ten different senators for a reason. They are looking to work with joe biden on this. We dont want this to be a bernie sandersled operation where he is in charge of the budget committee. You have senators like rick scott for example saying that this is just a big throwback to all of berties friends and the far left getting their dues and getting joe biden into office. Now, yes, the number 10 gives republicans some room to work with democrats. That may happen. We have heard a whole lot of talk about moderate democrats like joe manchin but you really have the Susan Collins and mitt romney of the senate now. They have a lot of power when it comes to working with democrats and trying to make some compromise as you said to get over that filibuster. Trey thank you, katie. Now lets bring in one of the United States senators who i wasnt invited or didnt accept the invitation to the great state of south carolina, senator tim scott. How are you . Speak im doing well. I hope youre doing well. Trey i am. Thank you. It would hurt my feelings that you were not invited to that meeting. Were you invited and declined or were you the 40 that didnt get invited . Well, it must have hurt your feelings because i looked through the mail and i havent found that invitation yet. So i would assume that it was not sent. I think you make a very good point earlier in the show when you asked what is the magic number to get things done in the senate . The number is 60 and 40 of us certainly were not invited. Trey well, let me ask you this, senator. If you were to state the republican position, the conservative position on covid19 and the Relief Package, what is it . What does the party believe is appropriate . Well trey, i think one of the things we should recognize is number one, over 2020, this country spent 6. 5 trillion, trillion dollars overall. Over 4 trillion on covid relief. In december, we approved another 900 billion and less than 20 of those dollars have been spent. The question is whats the hurry . We dont even know what happened with the december 900 billion. And so what we have to do now is take a step back and find out how to effectively manage this virus. And i would say that perhaps were already there. But we wont know because we havent spent all of the resources deployed to help america recover from this global pandemic. And until we do that, it is way too early to negotiate a 2 trillion package or a trillion Dollar Package when a 900 billion package that we approved has not been spent. Trey now, hang on a second, senator. Ive got to stop you there. That was a revolutionary Thought Process you just had. Wait and see whether or not the money works before you appropriate more money. Is that the revolutionary thought that you just espoused on television . See if the other one works . And then we will come in and flush it out . Absolutely. In south carolina, you dont spend money you dont have and you certainly dont spend the money you already spent that hasnt been spent. I know thats a lot of spending but at the end of the day we should not move forward until we understand and appreciate how the 900 billion go for instance, trey, 80 billion plus was to reopen schools. Have they reopened . How do we measure that . Theres a lot that comes off the door. When the door opens, kids walk in. Lets just use common sense to decide where we are and is that good enough. Trey all right senator, i want to ask you about one of your old colleagues, kamala harris. She appeared to be putting pressure on joe manchin. You know joe manchin. I dont think they are going to be susceptible to pressure from kamala harris, but maybe im wrong. Well, i think you are right, especially when you start having the Vice President talk about destroying cold jobs in West Virginia and suggesting that the things they should do is to go find landmines. Number one, one of the reasons why america thinks d. C. Is a swamp is too many politicians talk about things they have never done and also refer to things they would never do. We should thank god that we have a military that is looking for ways to take care of the landmines. But why would you send a coal miner there who is really good at coal mining but has never been in landmines . That is just ridiculous hyperbole coming from the Vice President and it is sad to hear. The good news is those two democrats that you talked about, they are not easy to persuade by using that type of hyperbole. Trey yet, my guess is that coal miners in West Virginia do not need Employment Advice from a progressive lawyer in san francisco. But thats just my guess. Im going to ask you this. When i look and think about the future of the republican party, when i look for it, i see you. I see your face. Is there something that you would like to tell us about your own future . Because what i think about the future of the party, i see people like tim scott. What do you see . Well, there is no doubt that my future starts right now with 2022. Im looking forward to running for reelection. If you want to support that, you can go to vote tim scott. Com and make a contribution. Bottom line is that i, like most americans believe that there is dignity in all work. We believe that hard work pays off. I, like most americans believe that my value comes from god, not from government. We believe in hand ups, not handouts. We believe that we should help those who cannot help themselves, not those who will not help themselves. I am a person who understands redemption, because ive been redeemed. That is the story of america and that is the story that we should all be motivated to share with our fellow americans. America is a good place. I believe in the goodness of this nation. And if we sell that, because its true, america will be far better off. Trey senator, thank you for coming on. I hope you are one of the messengers that carries out that message in 2022. As you say, timscott. Com. You sound like Lindsey Graham. A brother from another mother. Trey we will see what 2024 holds for you. Thank you.

Trey the National Battle to reopen schools is at a Breaking Point in chicago where the democratic mayor and local Teachers Unions are deadlocked over a plan to return instructors to the classroom this week. Chicago Public Schools hoping to avoid a strike with two more days of remote learning. But the rhetoric was hot this weekend when the mayor demanded teachers get back to school. Whatever it takes, we will be at the table. We have never left and we will not leave until we get a deal done. But we need leadership to have the same sense of urgency about the desperate state that our children are in. There has been no consideration about may be delaying schedules of schools in order to get into a place where you can get staff vaccinated. Trey joining me now, rachel, a Fox News Contributor. Rachel, how are you . A very good. Nice to be on your show, trey. Trey thank you, rachel. Thank you for being here. So, the democrat mayor says its safe to reopen schools. Even the white house says its safe to reopen schools. But yet, they are not reopening. I wonder why. Well, i dont know about you, trey, but ive never had a job for my boss expects me every day to come in and i feel i have to quit my job. It is absolutely bizarre. I heard earlier the five. She was making excuses for the Teachers Unions and she said there is no blueprint for how to open. They have been doing it every signal day since the beginning of this year proving that you can open schools safely. There have been no outbreaks. And if they dont care about what is happening nationally, you can look international. European schools are open and there are 94 million chinese children who are attending schools in person despite there being covid out there because we know that children are not superspreaders. If you have morbidity or people at home who cant handle being infected, then that may not be the job for you. But believe me, kids can go to school. Take should go to school and catholic schools, by the way, this is National Catholic schools week. They have been a lifeline for so many families. Because they do have to go to work. And their children arent suffering. So many kids in Public Schools are lonely. They are isolated. They are having emotional problems. This is an outrage. Joe biden and the democrats are on the side of the Teachers Union. They are very, very soft on how they are fishing this because they are beholden to the Teachers Unions. And i think this is a great opportunity for republicans to step forward and say we are on the side of kids. And by the way, how about some education on Parental Choice and education. Trey you know, rachel, for everyone out there wondering what the teachers and the Teachers Union have been doing, they came up with a dance video which is one of the most disquieting things i have ever watched. So i am going to encourage people. I am giving you a warning. If you liked silence of the lambs, you are going to love this dance video. Otherwise you may want to avert your eyes. Take a look at this video. Its our livelihood. Versus our lives. Trey what am i supposed to get from that, rachel . Its the most disquieting thing ive ever seen. What is that . I thought it was an snl sketch when i saw it. But that is the worst of it, trey. There was a teacher who was on the board of the chicago Teachers Union who was tweeting out that we should keep the schools closed for the entire year on the same day that she was sending Instagram Photos from puerto rico at a resort where she was spending vacation time. So this idea that they are doing this because they are afraid of covid is a lie. Its not true. The science proves this. The data proves this. And by the way, the teachers in the religious schools are following the science and it is the Teachers Unions who look like the flat earthers. Trey thank you, rachel. You are right.
