i think katherine is right here, chris. there is this assumption that if you don't give something a lot of money, you don't love it. in fact you hate it. if you don't increase the budget for the pentagon means you hate veterans. and if you don't increase money for the department of education, that means you hate children. and you hate learning. you are a bad person. and probably a racist not see. stock a little bit about bringing the sides together. is there something democrats are willing to give up in order to get bigger checks? >> why should they give up anything? they compromise for this bill. they compromised for this bill with the white house. and the president is complaining about expenses in the budget part of this bill. that he proposed in his own budget. aid to egypt, the kennedy center. all of these things are party presidents out budget. was just put it this way, there is no grand strategy hereby donald trump or there's no plan. he's lighting a match and burning the house down as he walks out the door. suspect g

katherine was creating a life without paul. then in december, 2008, sometime in the early morning hours, somewhere in her house a fire started. >> the house is totally on fire. on fire. >> reporter: when firefighters arrived, the big red house was a wall of flames. they had no idea if anyone was still inside. >> does anyone live there? >> yes, yes. >> if they're out of the house? >> i don't know. >> neighbors knew paul wasn't there. he was living in an apartment three hours away with his new girlfriend. that morning he got a call from katherine's pastor. >> picked it up, and it was pastor phyllis. she goes, where are the kids? i'm like, they're with me. what's going on? she goes, the house is on fire. >> reporter: firefighters worked for hours dousing the flames. when katherine's friend, sue muller, arrived, the fire was still raging. she stood vigil for hours waiting to hear news of her friend. >> well all of a sudden, the firemen were concentrated in one area looking down into the basement. and then the local funeral home was

katherine. thank you, steve, for bringing these key people together, discussions, and to launch just the important national conversation that we time.o be having at this i'm going to share my screen and hopefully you will see this. and as katherine said, we have tracking public reactions to and experiences with the andemic and certainly the subsequent development and now the distribution of the vaccine. hese results are hot off the presses, and there is good news for here's also some cause some pause and for planning for the future. first, some of the good news. when it comes to the vaccine evelopment and distribution process, as of now, about 2/3 of the public are at least somewhat vaccine has t the been properly tested for safety and effectiveness and that it ill be distributed in a way that is fair. now, niece are -- these have the announcement f the successful clinical trials and the culmination of the presidential election. it's a note of caution. it is a third in each case aying they're no

meanwhile katherine's traumatized mother married briefly and had catherine. but with a moment in the notes of mental institutions katherine was sent to a succession of industrial schools where she experienced constant racist abuse and violence often at the hands of nuns i was torn in a bass. and i was scrubbed to an inch of my life scott the nascar for me was the tom used it's a very recessed. negative tom. catherine did eventually escape industrial school moved into a bed sits and fell in love. but the happiness was not so lost before i got pregnant. i found out that he had a fling with him while i met a girl. wind social walk arse. and she said to me there's a place the car you go to she said. katherine was being sense a best buy or a mother and baby home run by the sisters of the sacred hearts of jesus and mary. she was going back to an institution. the man. and the mother baby was there on interconnect of a watch our family was. it was almost like you had a terrible in your back. at least 900 babies and infants are known to have died in best the last in 1

kennedy: so katherine why the u.s.? does that mean we really are the most powerful nation ever on earth? >> this is why i could never be a real conspiracy theorist. because to believe a conspiracy has been kept secret is to believe in the ability to believe in a large number of people to keep a secret. have you met the u.s. governmen government? they're not keeping big secrets. i just find it wildly unlikely. and must always assume incompetence over conspiracy, confusion over conspiracy. i don't know what this guy thanks he knows. but i can tell you if donald trump knew there were aliens, i would know they were aliens too. kennedy: think they have aliens i don't know failings have contracts for but i do believe they have penetrating digits. i had a very smart professor in college, evolutionary biology professor. and he said if aliens figured out the time space continuum, and can travel faster than the speed of light without d materializes, where they sticky with the a no probe? which i thought was good. the answer kinky

but, i do think that both sides, and katherine framed it correctly. democrats care a lot more about solving these problems than republicans do. republicans are the anti-government party. they don't want to spend money, except on things like tax cuts. and so, they just have less interest. however, the scale of the suffering is enough. and the attention on it has been enough that republicans, i think, crossed a rubicon and decided we have got to do something. not as much as -- as is needed. not as much as democrats want. but something substantial. $900 billion is a lot of money, and i do think, at the end of the day, they are going to figure out a way to park some of these concerns about the fed. some of the -- the other concerns about liability shields for corporations that republicans have raised. and the direct payments were a way to provide some aid that wasn't aid to state and local governments, that republicans were resisting because they don't like government. and -- and i do think that they are going to, after a weekend of noer negotiating, get

mary katherine hamm, let me bring you in here. how much fire is mcconnell willing to bring down on the heads of republican s over this or any other issue in the last few weeks of the trump presidency? >> well, i think because there's bipartisan agreement on defense and defense is an area where republicans are willing to flex, i think the question also is, how much fire is trump going to bring down and for how long? i think one of his objections is the section 230 stuff not being in the defense bill. if that's his strongest objection, and mcconnell is discussing it elsewhere, along with the $2,000 checks, trump might sort of lose interest in the defense bill. that might be the case. then there's the issue of bernie being able to throw a wrench into this, he wants to block the defense bill and doing the $2,000 checks, so, that may pose a problem, as well, to everyone. and can i just say, like, nobody really -- we don't unite on very much anymore, but there's a good reason not to, like, be glad about anything that congress has done t

>> good. >> yes, sir. >> good, all things considered. >> so, katherine. you have a new opinion piece in the post this week. and it's titled the gop reckoning, never came. you say french elements have been building inside the gop for a long time, is that partly why trump is easily fooled them with the phony election fraud claims? >> absolutely. i think for a long time, it was politically useful to, gop leadership to have this strain of, you know, conspiracy th theorists, as long as they were under control. it helped to energize the base and delegitimatize opponents, it helped evade accountablity by claiming the jobs numbers were fake, that sort of thing. but at some time, franken stein's monster killed the creator. what was the lunatic fringe took over the party, there were many times over the past decade or so, when it looked like the gop was finally like on the cusp of a reckoning, that they were going to realize, mcconnell or others were going realize that it was a problem to have this lunatic fringe in charge. it would make it harder to win elections,

i want to bring in kevin hassett and katherine rampel. you know would you have heard this more than once. so i wonder how likely you think it is that this deal is actually going to pass. >> i called around to my friends at the white house this morning and i think that everybody expects that the deal is just about done. the one thing that i would add is that there will be some to what you said, that there will also be some small business relief in the package, it will be about $900 billion. and they might make an announcement today is what i'm hearing. and the additions really that got it over the finish line, it was kind of interesting to me just sort of politically that president trump and aoc wanted checks to people to be part of the deal too and that wasn't originally in there. and i think that the relief checks will be part of the deal as well. and that is what closed the deal is what i'm hearing. >> that is very interesting. and katherine, in your latest article, you write that there are two main arguments for congress to provide thi

mary katherine, thank you, i think, in advance. while we're getting ready, i should tell you as well, dr. rice is one of only three black mother/daughters, harvard medical school, and your daughter just graduated, her vascular surgery resident. >> she is a vascular surgery resident giving her a shout-out. we've probably embarrassed her now, so she won't forgive me for that. but yeah, so i'm going to sit down. >> we are both going to get this shot in our left arm, because we are right-handed, so they do the non-dominant arms. >> my friends know i'm afraid of needles. >> is that right? >> i don't like needles. i don't like needles. >> you're a doctor. >> i am a doctor. i'm a surgeon, too. >> you prescribe a lot of needles and scalpels. >> it's different when you're driving the needle. it's a lot different when you're driving the needle. just relax and breathe. >> big moment. >> yeah, yeah. >> you ready? >> mm-hmm. >> all done? >> that's it? >> oh, piece of cake. >> all done. >> seriously. >> you're afraid of needles, that wasn't so b

they moved to taiwan and came to the united states where katherine was born. her parents become government scientists at walter read and n.i.h. katherine says she's the first american born member of a family and a second generation u.s. government servant. that's a great way of expressing it. if confirmed, she will be the first asian american and first woman of color to serve in this position. our nation, our economy, our workers, our businesses will be fortunate to have her serve in this role. as director of the white house domestic policy council, i spent some time convincing this wonderful public servant, i'm appointing susan rice, former united states ambassador to the united nations, former national security to president obama, former cabinet member, team player, policy heavy weight and trusted public servant who i've known for a long time. not only admired, but become friends with. she will lead and coordinate my critical domestic policy agenda. she's going to elevate and turbo charge a revitalized domestic policy council to help us build back better. sh

katherine: that's a good point. you have 10-year grill rates that strip out the effects of inflation. they have been dropping the past month. they spiked a little bit after the election, and that seemed to maybe take a bite out of tech. now you are seeing real yields lower again. that is giving the tech sector a little bit of breathing room. that is a pretty duration- sensitive sector. it is going to be more vulnerable to big spikes and yields than other sectors. but now as real yields continue to drive lower, about -90 basis point, that seems to be taking the pressure off the tech sector a little bit, and it has come back in recent weeks after initially really taking the brunt of the rotation trade. caroline: romaine just facing jon ferro's message and in the show because he will be quick to say "fake news, it is still there alive and kicking." on friday." we were talking to a guest earlier who said he is surprised that the delay had not stopped iots assent. katherine: the dollar is a tricky question. it is harder

he's got a lot of experience with that. >> katherine, to you. another red flag today when it comes to the economy. while there was some job growth, as i said a second ago, it was lower than expected, and biden released a statement saying this is a grim jobs report. there is progress on a stimulus deal, no pen to paper yet. how did that report express a need for stimulus asap? >> reporter: it shows that it is another failed attempt to get a stimulus package. they're way too low to fill in the jobs hole that was dug when we lost 20 million jobs. at the current pace of job growth that we had in november, it would take more than another three years before we recovered all of those jobs that were eliminated, that were shed, destroyed at the start of this -- >> as if on cue, here he is, president-elect. >> earlier today the november jobs report was released, and it was grim. it shows an economy that's stalling, and we remain in the midst of one of the worst economic and job crises in modern history. but it doesn't have to stay that way. if we act now

katherine tai and susan rice. she is the only one without any controversy. she will be threading together the policy agenda for this senate. really, with the exception of tom vilsack, they're in different roles. katherine tai, for example, she's in charge -- >> jeff, we got him. >> he's walking into the room here now, brooke. >> i'm being told. is he there or almost there? >> we'll see in a second. >> keep talking, keep talking. >> some of these people have new positions, so yes, it is a familiar set of faces, but some of them are elevated. she was a deputy before, now she's the u.s. trade representative, the first woman of color to be in that position. and dennis mcdonough, for example, yes, he was the president's chief of staff, but now he'll be the secretary. he spent hours and hours visiting walter reed and working on veterans issues when he was there. i'm told tom vilsack will be joining virtually. you see congresswoman marcia fudge there and katherine tai. she will be the u.s. trade representative, and that is such a key position, enforcing, negotiatin

katherine da costa reports. council staff here in wolverhampton are preparing to roll out mass testing from monday. nose and throat swabs are taken but instead of being sent to a lab, lateralflow tests provide results within half an hour. but there is concern they are not as accurate as standard pcr tests, so more people could be told they are negative when they are not. if those people then go out and they visit their grandparents, they stop socially distancing and so on because they believe they haven't got covid, that's not going to help, it could actually make it worse. in wolverhampton they hope rapid testing will help them move out of tier 3 by detecting those without any symptoms and getting them to isolate. that is what happened following a trial in liverpool last month. the government said mass testing helped towards reducing the rate of infection, but figures from the pilot showed tests missed half of all cases. health advisers say they still have a value. we've been very clear that this test finds peo

katherine harris was the secretary of state in florida. it was -- she was appointed by jeb bush who happened to be the brother of the presidential candidate, and obviously there's been controversy to this day about how decisions were made. suffice it to say that all close decisions that came to katherine harris were made in favor of bush, not in favor of gore. there were a lot of arguments about some of those decisions, and it should also be said that, nonetheless, under state law there is -- in florida, there is a lot of leeway given to local officials to count votes, and where recounts happened, there were -- you know, they were very open recounts with republican judges and democratic -- not court judges, just people sitting in the polling place watching the ballots recounted. republicans could challenge a decision made or democrats could challenge a decision made. a recount is a very small democratic thing to do, and it's a transparent process, and, you know, as i said, to this day i wish we could have just recounted all those votes. th

for the united states trade representative, i nominated katherine tai. a trusted trade expert, a dedicated public servant who knows government and who spent her career leveling the playing field for american workers and their families. that's not hyperbole, that's a fact. she currently serves as a chief lawyer on trade for the powerful house ways and means committee. she earned praise from both lawmakers in both political parties, and from both labor and business as well. now, that's a feat across the board. but all kidding aside, i've gotten more calls complimenting me on your appointment than you can imagine. during the obama-biden administration, she was a chief force in unsafe trade practices from china, which will be a key priority in the biden-harris administration. she understands that we need a more strategic -- to be considerably more strategic than we've been in how we trade, and that makes us all stronger, however we're made stronger by trade. one that leaves nobody behind. she's going to work closely with my economic and policy security teams

it is my pleasure to introduce, welcome, katherine. i want to say i can't remember last time i had so much pleasure reading a book like yours. it really is an absolute triumph and i am thrilled to talk to you about it today. >> that means a great deal, i admire your work for so long so thank you for joining me this evening and thanks to the roosevelt house for having me. this is great fun even though we can't meet in person, the next best thing, glad you gathered together, thank you very much, everyone. >> you were at harvard, you were born in chicago but tell us a little bit about yourself and what led you to have this transatlantic education. >> i loved history from the time i was a little girl, white christmas and a great escape. i was fortunate, every night, some of her favorite books were british children's classic, so we read everything, sparked a love of british culture and history for me at a young age and can't remember a time, 5 years old, maybe someday going to cambridge, when i became a history major at harvard and at cambr

let's discuss that with katherine inglebreck. katherine, i want to stay with you. tell us what you're working on in georgia. the are in see, you're involved with efforts pre-election, two weeks from tonight to give better monitoring in place prior to the election rather than trying to challenge it after the fact when the votes are cast, much harder to challenge. >> absolutely. we are doing a variety of things in georgia that our focus at the moment is a preemptive challenge of just over 364,000 voters who appeared to be ineligible and there is a unique condition in georgia law that allows for georgia voters to bring these challenges so we are helping support voters from across the state to try to reconcile accurate roles and accurate voting standards before the voting starts. jillian: that brings us to a case that is proceeding or not proceeding where the trump campaign is challenging thousands of voters they say voted in the general election in november but were disqualified or ineligible and have detailed dozens of affidavits to say these are concrete cases, a ju

all right, let me move on to you, katherine, talk about the strength of the economy. we did get jobs numbers on friday. the federal reserve bank of atlanta has raised its fourth quarter gdp growth to 11%, that's up from 5% earlier in november. the atlanta fed looks for 11.1% growth in the fourth quarter even amid this pandemic, katherine. do you agree with this for the fourth quarter? and what's your take fourth quarter into 2021, how do you want to invest around those numbers? look, you're predicting that gdp in the u.s. to surpass 3.5% in 2021, right? >> yes. fourth quarter is going to disappoint, maria. the u.k. surge and the pandemic back in the forefront of people's minds i think is going to blunt holiday purchases. fourth quarter is likely to disappoint, maria. going into 2021 it's all about consumer demand. if we get consumption rising to the extent that the market -- and in fact, i would expect it to, we will get a strong year, we'll get a recovery from this year's contraction of 3-point 5%. i'm expecting 3.7% for 2021. take a look at household debt service pa
