Total of 2400 for a family of four. There is an extra hundred dollars a week in Unemployment Benefits it. Revives the Paycheck Protection Program with a cash infusion and it extends the Eviction Moratorium and also provides funding for vaccine distribution. Now, it does not provide liability shield for businesses. It does not provide money for state and local governments and it does not provide direct aid to the Restaurant Industry which has been so hardhit already. Many lawmakers are complaining the bill doesnt go far enough. But, Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell says it hits the mark but he blames Speaker Pelosi for holding it up for so long. Well, so its noteworthy that at the end they finally gave us what we could have agreed to back in july. I think what held it up was they did not want to do anything before the president ial election. I think they felt that that would disadvantage the president. Griff its a far cry from where Speaker Pelosi began negotiating this summer a nearly 2 trillion. As she notes in her weekly press conference, a few weeks ago, some things have changed. What was then before was not more of this. This is has simplicity. Its what we have had in our bills. Its for a shorter period of time. But thats okay now because we have a new president. Will. Griff the house passed i passet Senate Passed it. All nays were republican. It goes to the president s desk for a signature. Here is the best part, guys, treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin said the 600 checks could go out as soon as next week. Katie, pete, brian . Pete all right, griff. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. And good morning, brian. Sorry to step on you abdicatey. Great to have you this morning as well. Katie good morning, pete. Pete good morning. Nancy pelosi says this bill has simplicity. This bill which is by two times. It blew me away this morning when i read it. It this is a 55 93 page bill, which is twice the size of the previous record are, which was in 1986 reagans tax reform bill was 2847 pages. They have six hours to read nearly 6,000 pages and vote on it and nancy pelosi has the gull to say that, brian, this is simplicity. Brian oh, okay. I will take it from here, pete. My bad. I wanted to compensate for cutting you off to start the show. Pete okay. Brian its simplicity because she doesnt have to count up to 1. 8 trillion. Doesnt have to count up to 2. 4 trillion. Tried to pass even higher than that over in july. The ensign sater of it all is paid back in the Election Results that we saw. Sto the surprise of just about everyone, her terrible year resulted in about a 9 seat advantage in the house slimmest majority really since world war i and talked about the year the speaker is having. Everyone would like to crownel her as the queen but, man, she has been totally ineffective. The track record is very clear a lot of what is in this bill is what republicans had put forward going back to july. And nancy pelosi did make a political calculation that it would serve her partys interest to delay the passage of this bill past the president ial election. If the country ends up in recession in a couple weeks or months or whatnot, there is a lot that will not look good about how nancy pelosi handled this. In general, this had been a bad year for nancy pelosi. Brian if you look whats in the bill, keep in mind, too. There is bad guys and good guys and guys that are left out. Im glad renters are getting some help. Im glad that people are going to get some direct payments that make under 75,000 a year. Thats fine. Keep in mind landlords arent bad people. They take out loans to buy buildings to rent to other people. Its called free market capitalism. They are now told they are not getting rent because the people have no money. Restaurants have been shut down in many cases. Gyms have been brought to their knees. So, okay. Relief maybe from renters of people paying their bills. But who is going to stop the banks from foreclosing on them, katie. And not everybody was on board with this 900 billion bill. Will many. Katie thats a great question. Commercial real estate may have a big problem when it comes to people not paying their rent because people are not using office space. There is a lot of junk in this bill in addition to some covid relief. Congress never loses an opportunity to use a crisis to push through a bunch of spending that we cannot afford. Senator rand paul was on the senate floor yesterday talking about this very issue. If free money were the answer, if money really grew on trees, why not give more free money. Why not give it out all the time . Why stop at 600 a person . Why not a thousand dollars . Why not 2,000 . Maybe these new free money republicans should join the everybody gets a guaranteed income caucus. Why not 20,000 a year for everybody . Why not 30,000 . If we can print up money with impunity . Why not do it . When you vote to pass out free money, you lose your soul and you abandon forever any semblance of moral or fiscal integrity. Katie yeah, pete. We all know that that money is not free. One of the other point that senator rand paul made yesterday which was very important was pointing out that congress is just enabling bad behavior from democrats who continue to push through serious, you know, and overwhelm tyrannical lock down measures which dont allow anybody to make a living. Of hundred dollars a week, great. But people really want to go back to work. Pete thats the best bill you could give is allowing people to make their own best common sense decisions. Rand paul, one counter to it here is the government told everybody to shut down. Government tells everyone to shut down because of the virus the that china gave us. There is a responsibility for the government temporarily and in narrowed fashion to do this. Of course what washington does is takes advantage of it to make a Christmas Tree of it and throw Everything Else on it. Which is why you see 10 million for gender programs in pakistan and 24 million for the kennedy art center. This is precisely what they do. One of our guests pointed out yesterday. I have think it was the speaker. Speaker gingrich when you have six hours to reach 6,000 page bill all the power is with the leadership on capito capital hi. Members who want to be responsible. There is no chance they can review the bill properly. So this is d. C. At its worst. And its nancy pelosi taking advantage of it, katie, as you said instead of actually, you know, delivering covid relief which we should be doing right now. Katie brian, i think its a slap in the face for people who are seeing the 600 Checking Account bump; however, when they see millions of dollars going to Foreign Countries for programs. You start to think that congress doesnt have their best interest in mind rather other people who dont live here in mind. Brian not everybody voted for it. Six didnt. Including senator rick scott and including senator rand paul. They did not vote for this. And we will see where it goes. I do know this, somebody has got to fund the horse racing integrity and safety act. If it took this 900 billion program to do it and i have been talking about this in the break for years as you know, pete. Finally we got that thing fully funded. When you talk about working your way out of this, i rf these editorials that take Governor Ron Desantis to task. Because he is telling people these are the rules. These are the mandates. If you open up the restaurant i want to see the plexiglass and distancing and waiters wearing masks. Go do it. If you do that stay open. Having said that, there is obviously cases in florida. Guess what . There is cases all across the country even though they are dipping in the midwest, thankfully. Theyre flooded and total lock down until the middle of december for california. They have no right to work. In california they have been told just lay down, dont say a word. You are out of business for your own good. And for one person in particular, angela martin, she is the owner of the Pineapple Hill saloon and grill. Remember that famous walk that she took talking about how she shut down but her production was allowed to open up . She is suing the governor to be able to open up and heres a little of the lawsuit that is going to get governor newsoms attention when hes not worried about not getting a new chief of staff who just resigned or worried about if he is going to be recalled. He said defendants say there is a imros abuse of their power have seized the coronavirus pandemic to expand their authority by unprecedented links depriving plaintiffs in all similarly situated Small Business owners in california of fundamental rights protected by the u. S. And california constitution. This is an interesting battle. Known want to get sick. Everyone understand the lethality in some cases of the virus, katie. But, these people. I looked at it. They have eyed it. They stared it down and after nine month, they want a fight. Katie brian, they have asked the government in california and new york and these places where they are being shut down to provide hard Scientific Data proving that their business is a source. Brian they cant. Katie a source of the spread. They cant do that. So they are only asking for the government to back up their decisions which impacts their lives, their childrens lives. Their Family Businesses that mane have been in the family for generations. They are only asking for some evidence to proof that what they are doing with all the steps they have taken, spending thousands of dollars to make their restaurants safe that there is a real reason behind eliminating their ability to provide for themselves and their families. Pete its so cynical, guys. Remember when nancy pelosi said we feed people. She was challenged about there is a deal on the table what do you do . Do you feed people . Its cynical because what they could do is allow people to feed themselves by allowing businesses to be open responsibly which all of them want to do and can do safely. As you point out, the data just isnt there. Instead, from coast to coast, from new york city where fox friends is to california, businesses remain shut counsel. Heres a headline from the Hollywood Reporter in that spot out there in california. Hollywood boulevard struggles ahead pandemic 75 is boarded up. And that is emblematic, brian, of across the Country Community that have faced these democratdriven, nonscience driven at this point lockdowns arbitrary forcing people to close. Yet, would he are supposed to applaud nancy and her 600 in crumbs that will be arrive next week at some sort of a solution. It is exactly how democrats want top down relief to work and it doesnt work. Brian pete, you know i worry about more than anybody else, their intention is not to keep people safe. Their intention is not to beat the pandemic. Pete exactly. Brian their intention is to gain legitimate control and force the remake of these states and the Country Little by little. I just dont understand the wisdom of governing a state and not letting people work through it, provide the freedoms to be able to survive and make their own decisions. I was out in lay three weeks ago through that jim gray special. I had to find around 40 minutes to find a place to have breakfast. It was in the parking lot and a sense going to get shut down any minute between two hotels. Unbelievable whats happening there. And then they are going to be shut down through new years eve, it looks like. Meanwhile talk a little bit more in just a second.

I will send it back to you. Brian kevin greene outstanding player for the rams. People thought he was a fantastic quotes. One of his coach pretty cool that talked about him. I wasnt the biggest or fasters as long as you have a motor a heart overcome all physical limitations third in all time in sacks. Here is what stood out to kevin greene as he went into the hall of fame back in 2016. In closing, i think probably most importantly, i want to thank all those brave people that have served and continue to serve our country from the firefighters to the paramedics to the men and women in Law Enforcement. [cheers and applause] those on the line every day for all of us. [cheers and applause] and to our combined armed forces, all the soldiers out of there and all the many skids and fly boys and.

He played with a viciousness and tenacity not often seen. Remind you of almost dick butkus but more speed, guys. That got a standing ovation then. Im not sure that speech gets a standing ovation now but its worthy of one. Pete you are exactly right, brian. Thats why its so powerful. I got chills listening to it that last line let me say this my family and i rest easy at night underneath the canopy of freedom that you deploy. Thats perspective for a man who knew he played a game. He was a beast and ferocious, i remember watching him. You always accounted for where he was on the field. As a fan, as somebody who is watching you, its always heartening to know that that person has that sense of perspective that its just a game. There are men that strap on different uniforms and carry rifles that defend our ability to play that game. Kevin greene had that perspective and said it very well. And it does, brian, as you mentioned, feels like a by gone era. It shouldnt be, doesnt have to be. A speech like that reminds us, katie. Katie yeah. Definitely a good example of someone who understands what it really means to lay it on the line and being grateful for the sacrifices people give for this country. Kevin greene was 58 years old.
