moment, flanked by vice president kamala harris. and it is worth noting tonight, not just what this president who has been in 50 days this evening has gotten done but how he has done it, with very little drama, no tweets and his party pretty much united. while this bill isn't perfect, it is remarkable. president biden's steady hand hasn't let us to. we've seen ramped up vaccinations, a schedule, reversal of wicked policies like the muslim ban, return of the paris climate accords and now the passage of the american rescue plan, to rescue an economy that was left in a flaming dumpster fire by his predecessor. today really is a big f'ing deal. >> it represents an historic victory for the american people iechl look forward to signing it later this week. everything in the american rescue plan addresses a real need. together, we're going to get through this pandemic and usher in a healthier and more hopeful future so there is real reason for hope, folks. there's real reason for hope. >> by the way, his huge bill passed with zero republican support. let me repeat, zero support from the tqp, trump qanon party, that loves to pretend they are for the working class. what's more and more clear is that beltway republicans are dramatically out of step with the rest of the country, including republican mayors and governors who are praising this bill. in some polls a majority of republican voters support this bill and i defy you to find a single republican who is going to turn down those checks. even the people who want to hate it are going to take the money. i mean, they may donate it to trump. what are you going to do? it's hard to find a constituency that doesn't like this bill except beltway republican, who we pay a lot of money to in salary and i guess don't get home to their districts much. >> the $1.9 trillion problem as we said repeatedly, $1.9 trillion package, as we said repeatedly only had about 1% or less for vaccines, 9% or less for health care. so i think this is actually one of the worst pieces of legislation i've seen passes here in the time i've been in the senate. >> first of all, it isn't a health care bill. it's an economic relief bill. and that 9 prs thing you heard mcconnell say, that has become republicans biggest talking point. if it were actually true that 9% of the bill did anything to provide relief after the pandemic, then that might actually be an arguable point but it's not even true. here is one new york congressman explaining. >> it's true 9%, their favorite talking point, $171 billion is for vaccines, testing and other health care infrastructure. what about the other 90%? $424 billion for $1,400 stimulus checks, $350 billion for struggling state and local governments, $246 billion for unemployment insurance, $219 billion for children and child care so parents can return to work. $178 billion to help reopen schools. $109 billion for farmers and small businesses. $28 billion for restaurants and live venues. $40 billion for renters and homeowners who need assistance. >> that's what you voted for, right? that is the stuff that you voted for. but wait, there's more. once president biden signs this bill, nearly 85% of americans will get those $1,400 checks in the next few weeks in the mail. there will be a $300 a week boost to unemployment insurance if you happen to be unemployed and there's more money, yes, for vaccines. that's just the stuff you've already heard about. in addition, did you know if you have children, you could get up to $3,600 per child? you want your kids to be back in school? the bill sends $170 billion to make that happen. are you in college, or do you have student loans? this package makes sure that the forgiveness of your loans will be tax free. are you an essential construction worker or truck driver? your pension just got a boost. that's for your retirement. do you want health insurance but you can't afford it? this bill will make the aca more affordable to middle class americans and finally if you are a black farmer who has lost your land over the years because of discrimination, this bill has set aside $5 billion for you. it's literally the most significant piece of legislation for black farmers since the civil rights act. president biden is set to sign it on friday. then he and other administration officials will hit the road to sell the rescue plan. and the first stop on the biden express, delaware county, pennsylvania. and that is next tuesday. joining me now is senator sherrod brown of ohio. senator, thanks for being on with us. i've heard you say on other shows before it even passed that this is like some of the most important work that you, just individually as a senator, have done. why is that? >> well, when i walked out, first of all, the whole evening, the whole night we were voting hour after hour after hour all night. and i was almost giddy, if i could use that term, sitting next to bob casey. we were just in anticipation of what we were about to do. so when i left the building to drive home, to ride home with a young man, andy, driving back to ohio, which i do every week, i said to reporters going out, this is the best day of my career. we did so many things. i think every person in the country is watching the joy reid show and listening to you delineate everything in this bill. that's why it's bipartisan. it has so many things in there that will make the country better. it's really the right thing. i would bet almost every democrat in the house and senate would say it's close to the best day in their career. >> you know, you drive home every week. i'm glad you said that. have you encountered one republican mayor, republican city council person, what about the governor, mike dewine, in your state? have any of those people said, senator brown, no, i don't want this money. send that money back. we don't want it? >> no, of course not. i do kind of round table formats all the time with 10 or 20 people and listen to their stories. i'll listen to somebody from united way that sets up the earned income tax credit, or a mayor, small business person or labor advocate. and all of them understand this will essentially lift all boats. i have used the chart on the senate floor this week that shows the difference between our bill and the republican tax cut for the rich four years ago. and all of their money overwhelmingly went to the richest people. we're aiming at the middle. we're aiming at working families and we're aiming at people that are in poverty. you can cast a vote as we did saturday morning and you can lift half the people in poverty out of poverty. the people that are in deeper poverty, it still lifts them up in a big way and makes their lives better. those people were left out of the bottom 27% of low-income kids were left out of the trump tax bill. and for us that was the front and center of what we did. >> you know, the point you're making is that, you know, the $10,000 that is tax free, this is actually a tax break for people who are not rich, which is very remarkable for a tax cut that actually this time you can see it. i think there have been some criticisms that it's not permanently lifting people out of poverty. let's not overdo it. but you're right, in the near term a lot of people will be able to pay their rent, stay in their homes and take care of their kids. there are a couple of things that are broken already. >> can i say something? >> yeah, sure. sure. >> that's so important. raphael warnock, cory booker and michael bennet and i are organizing this lifting people out of poverty cut the tab tax rate in half expires at the end of the year. as soon as joe biden's ink is dry on his pen friday afternoon, we think, we're going to launch a whole effort to make that permanent. and republicans are going to say we're willing to now double the poverty rate? this is something -- this is so important that we make this permanent. and it will begin to -- it will show up. if you can cut the poverty rate among small children, it will show up in their school, in their school grades, in their work life, in their marriages, everything about their lives will get better. >> and, you know, just today a couple of headlines. american airlines sent a letter to 13,000 workers who have been furloughed. they're saying tear up your papers. you're not going to be furloughed. it's been championed as a way to help people with pensions. even thedrudge report, which tends to lean conservative, says biden with the win. the other senator from your state, do they plan to run against those bill running -- those even not rung, do you think they plan to run against this bill? they're going to try to take credit for bringing this money home. >> you may be right. they don't know what to do. their knee-jerk reaction, as mcconnell's was to president obama, block everything he puts out there. that's always their knee-jerk reaction. they govern by fear and by that knee-jerk reaction. and i think they just don't know what to do because this is so popular. it is a bipartisan bill, as you point out. the only people against it are republican senators and republican house members. their voters aren't against it. the public is not against it. not just the best day of my career in terms of what we deliver for the people. sometimes you vote for things like the aca that wasn't particularly popular but you knew it was the right thing. this one is easy, because it's so popular and it's so much the right thing and biden has had this huge victory because schumer and pelosi held everybody together because we all had our eye on the fact that this was going to make the country better. i would even go further and say that this is the biggest -- if you take out civil voting rights -- civil rights '64, voting rights '65, open housing '68 and the affordable care act seven or eight years ago, this the biggest thing we've done since fdr, since the new deal. and what i like to think about in '32, '34, '36, roosevelt won three elections in a row and changed the country for decades. we can do the same thing here. people now understand that the way to build dem kras is make it work for everybody. and that's what we're doing now. and this is going to make people's lives better and people are going to recognize it. we'll see a very different government where people understand government actually is on their side and we'll make it work. >> senator sherrod brown, high five, happy dances for this bill. congratulations. please go back and get rid of that filibuster so you can do the same on voting rights. that is very much needed. >> i'm with you on that. absolutely, absolutely. >> thank you. that would be good. senator sherrod brown, thank you so much. next on "the reid out," after joe biden's huge, huge victory, republicans want to desperately turn the page. what's their message to voters? white supremacy, potato head, dr. seuss? then making it illegal for victims of rape or incest to get abortions, giving control of women's bodies over to men. and as disgusting and misogynistic as this bill is, hutchinson, you are not the absolute worst. "the reid out" continues after this. reid out" continues after this them. so she'll get some help from fidelity, and she'll feel so good about her plan, she can focus on living it. that's the planning effect, from fidelity. alright, i brought in ensure max protein... she can focus on living it. ...to give you the protein you need with less of the sugar you don't (grunting noise) i'll take that. yeeeeeah! 30 grams of protein and 1 gram of sugar drink, play, and win big in the powered by protein challenge! ♪ ♪ we know it's going to take many forms of energy to meet the world's needs while creating a cleaner future for all. at chevron, we're lowering the carbon emissions intensity of our operations, investing in lower-carbon technologies, and exploring renewable fuels of the future. we work hard to care for the homes we love. but it's only human... to protect the one we share. the republican outrage machine has been cranked up to full force. and not just over the american rescue plan. here is senator mike lee, condemning a bill that will make voting easier which, mind you, is the literal dechings of democracy. >> everything about this bill is rotten to the core. it's as if written in hell by the devil himself. >> and then we have lindsey graham, who is now attacking children. in his fear-mongering trump style about the southern border. >> a national security crisis because they're children today but they could easily be terrorists tomorrow. this is the 20th anniversary of 9/11. al qaeda and isis would love nothing more than to hit us again. >> lindsey, to be clear, there's absolutely no correlation between these migrant children and osama bin laden. none. perhaps lindsey should be looking to the maga insurrectionists if he wants to compare and contrast terrorists. at this point an antebellum cartoon pale is in comparison who sent a thinly veiled message to the house speaker in this creepy new ad. >> welcome to for pelosi where democrats decry walls to within their own heavily guarded razor wired wall. democrats don't want to protect you. they don't care about you. it's time to cut the crap and remember this is the people's house. madam speaker, tear down this wall. >> and yet it's the children who are the terrorists? okay. joining me now, claire mccaskill and nicolle wallace. i'm glad you're both here. i've got to go to you first, claire. i would normally go to nicole first because we have to talk republicans, but claire, you served in the united states on the senate side, but what do you make of a member of the united states house of representatives running an ad, walking in the capitol and ending it with gunshots? >> well, you -- it's almost a parody of what an elected official should be. it is the exact 180 opposite of what she should be saying. and the irony here, joy, the unbelievable irony is why that razor wire is there. it is there because people that she encouraged marched on our nation's capitol, attacking police officers with american flags, trying to gouge out police officers' eyes, wanting to find our elected officials and hang them. and she's acting as if, that somehow the democrats caused this wall to go up. this was all her people that caused this. and there ought to be some kind of rule about using gunfire in an ad so close to calling out the elected speaker of the house. it makes me sick to my stomach. >> it comes across as a threat, you know. nicole, we just, you know, have been talking about your show. you've been talking about it, we've been talking about it. the insurrection, to watch the capitol be besieged by fellow americans and yet lindsey graham talking about children coming across the border, terrified from where they're fleeing gun violence, he compares them to terrorist. now you've got this congresswoman who literally was on the side of those terrorists with like a gun thing in her ad. and then we've got mccarthy, who i guess is going to go down and do his act at the border and also pretend he's terrified of migrant children. >> it is another republican story that would be comical if it wasn't so dangerous to the country. i think you're right to pair these two stories together. they are focused on a threat where there isn't one. spoken to former cia officials who were in the government at the time of 9/11. there were never any terrorists who came over the southern border. but there is a real threat. the country is under domestic terror threat right now, today, as we sit here. it is from people who believe donald trump's big lie. do you know who repeated donald trump's big lie and radicalized them? all those people you just showed, i think. we do have a country that is under immediate and urgent threat of terrorism. christopher wray, chris christie's hand-picked attorney general to run the fbi. and merrick garland is the only one to where was bill barr as this threat was growing? if there were international terrorism and an ag who didn't heed the fbi's warning, we would be talking about a scandal. republicans who don't want to clean out their own house. sometimes people use this hyperbolically, blood on their hands. they have blood on their hands. five people died and subsequently police officers committed suicide. >> i feel like the two things, for both of you -- and i'll start with you, claire and back to nicolle. two things you expect from elected officials is that they'll look out for the economic health of the american people, fdr style when things start to crack and the money is all gone, you can't pay your rent and everyone is floundering economically. republicans on both these issues have said we want no part of this. i always thought money was the best politics. in ohio you have one senator who voted to save the economy, the other senator, just because's a republican, voting no. roger wicker, claire, you served with these people, vote no against the bill about then tweet out look at this great money for restaurants and then saying i had language for similar restaurant relief and it's now law but he voted against it. this was your idea, you say, but you voted against it. i don't understand it. are they now going to run against the bill in 2022? >> you know, it's a real political problem for them. it was interesting. i heard sherrod talk about the aca. when we voted on the aca, we knew we were in political trouble. president obama knew he was in political trouble because it was going to take years for people to begin to understand how aca protected them. it eventually became popular, but it was three, four, five years down the line. this bill will immediately be popular, because it's going to have an immediate impact. people are going to see it. why the republicans allowed this to be a partisan exercise in terms of votes when over 70% of americans, including more than 50% of republicans wanted this bill to pass. for the life of me, as someone who did politics for a long time, i don't get the politics. i don't get any of it. >> i don't either. i don't either. i've been politics since i was 12. this is confounding. nicolle, the other thing is if you're project to potential voters, i don't want you to vote, right? if laura ingram says that the evils of a voting reform bill would be making it easier to vote, making it easier to vote, anything that makes it easier to vote, same day registration, early voting. mike lee called voting reform, making it easier to vote like straight out of hell, the pit of hechlt i think that's basically saying do to us again what you did to us in 2020, black voters. i don't get it. >> i guess what we can take from it is that it's all laid bare. nothing is in the closet anymore. the republicans are now openly trying to disenfranchise voters. they're acknowledging that the more people vote, the worst the margins for republicans will be. i think what stacey abrams is talking about in making it basically noncommercial is an important next front. we have learned we can't solve some of our problems in the political arena. there's a disinformation structure around those folks that you just named. and you have to pierce it where it hurts them. the reason mitch mcconnell gave the speech, it was called out by claire. he gave the speech on the day he acquitted donald trump for a deadly insurrection in which the mission statement was "hang mike pence" and thes intoe was erected. he knows hanging mike pence is noncommercial. they're worried about corporate donors. stacey abrams, trying to tie the audacity of sort of disenfranchising anyone in america, but let's be blunt about what it is. it's black and brown voters who tend to not ever vote for republicans, that is the next front in this. that's where it needs to go. any company who thinks they can give money to republicans because they like their positions on regulation
