>> Martha Senate majority leader ░░░░░░░░ McConnell says after huge ░░░░░░░░ and stimulus he doesn ░░░░░░░░ want taxpayer money to ░░░░░░░░ to states that were ░░░░░░░░ in debt before the ░░░░░░░░ arrived Take a look ░░░░░░░░ the state pension fund ░░░░░░░░ across four key states ░░░░░░░░ 190 billion in debt ░░░░░░░░ Kentucky 42 billion in ░░░░░░░░ New York 11 billion ░░░░░░░░ debt Enter New Jersey ░░░░░░░░ billion in debt Not ░░░░░░░░ put this in perspective ░░░░░░░░ just a few weeks ░░░░░░░░ federal government borrowed 3 ░░░░░░░░ in Coronavirus relief yet ░░░░░░░░ revenue flowing to the ░░░░░░░░ government is expected to ░░░░░░░░ in 3 6 trillion ░░░░░░░░ this entire year One ░░░░░░░░ McConnell s chief critics ░░░░░░░░ calls him the Marie ░░░░░░░░ of the Senate joins ░░░░░░░░ now Republican congressman Peter ░░░░░░░░ of New York Good ░░░░░░░░ see you congressman king ░░░░░░░░ for being here tonight ░░░░░░░░ s the argument that ░░░░░░░░ much money is going ░░░░░░░░ the door and some ░░░░░░░░ as well as some ░░░░░░░░ are going to look ░░░░░░░░ this and as an ░░░░░░░░ to fill their cups ░░░░░░░░ make up for but ░░░░░░░░ that don t work ░░░░░░░░ is a total lie ░░░░░░░░ spread by Mitch McConnell ░░░░░░░░ one is looking for ░░░░░░░░ money other than that ░░░░░░░░ ve lost directly because ░░░░░░░░ the Coronavirus Were talking ░░░░░░░░ paying the cops firefighters ░░░░░░░░ all of the lost ░░░░░░░░ because of Coronavirus This ░░░░░░░░ nothing to do with ░░░░░░░░ I am not a ░░░░░░░░ fan of Governor Cuomo ░░░░░░░░ far as his policies ░░░░░░░░ governor I think he ░░░░░░░░ doing a very good ░░░░░░░░ as far as the ░░░░░░░░ is concerned None of ░░░░░░░░ money were talking about ░░░░░░░░ of the funding would ░░░░░░░░ in any way tied ░░░░░░░░ state policies It s ░░░░░░░░ because of the Coronavirus ░░░░░░░░ of the shutdown and ░░░░░░░░ county has twiceto as ░░░░░░░░ deaths as the entire ░░░░░░░░ of California 40 of ░░░░░░░░ county budget comes from ░░░░░░░░ tax Sales taxes are ░░░░░░░░ zero for the next ░░░░░░░░ months how do you ░░░░░░░░ of that All of ░░░░░░░░ money spent at hospitals ░░░░░░░░ the expenditures Mitch McConnell ░░░░░░░░ we should go bankrupt ░░░░░░░░ it s because we ░░░░░░░░ Kentucky We get many ░░░░░░░░ less then we pay ░░░░░░░░ while Kentucky gets billions ░░░░░░░░ than they re entitled ░░░░░░░░ Martha All good points ░░░░░░░░ let me put up ░░░░░░░░ street from Nikki Haley ░░░░░░░░ was the governor of ░░░░░░░░ Carolina She said states ░░░░░░░░ always plan for rainy ░░░░░░░░ just like any business ░░░░░░░░ disagree that states should ░░░░░░░░ federal money or be ░░░░░░░░ out this will be ░░░░░░░░ taxpayers paying for mismanagement ░░░░░░░░ need to tighten up ░░░░░░░░ manage What do you ░░░░░░░░ Nikki Haley I have ░░░░░░░░ respect for governor Haley ░░░░░░░░ has nothing to do ░░░░░░░░ mismanagement This is the ░░░░░░░░ pandemic of this type ░░░░░░░░ 100 years Nobody could ░░░░░░░░ foreseen this North Carolina ░░░░░░░░ South Carolina or Kentucky ░░░░░░░░ hit with this Coronavirus ░░░░░░░░ way New York W ░░░░░░░░ we have over 60 ░░░░░░░░ cases We have almost ░░░░░░░░ people dead How do ░░░░░░░░ prepare for that Every ░░░░░░░░ in your budget putting ░░░░░░░░ money to prepare for ░░░░░░░░ pandemic people would have ░░░░░░░░ you were crazy If ░░░░░░░░ are putting aside billions ░░░░░░░░ dollars for a pandemic ░░░░░░░░ people would say it ░░░░░░░░ a total waste of ░░░░░░░░ No one anticipated this ░░░░░░░░ I obviously would say ░░░░░░░░ York is obviously a ░░░░░░░░ situation New York has ░░░░░░░░ hit harder than any ░░░░░░░░ state in the country ░░░░░░░░ the epicenter once again ░░░░░░░░ like on September 11th ░░░░░░░░ consider Asians need to ░░░░░░░░ made for New York ░░░░░░░░ at it from that ░░░░░░░░ day fund perspective this ░░░░░░░░ been going on for ░░░░░░░░ six or seven weeks ░░░░░░░░ this point That is ░░░░░░░░ crisis it s a ░░░░░░░░ that occurred that no ░░░░░░░░ expected How big is ░░░░░░░░ rainy day fund for ░░░░░░░░ York State How much ░░░░░░░░ can New York get ░░░░░░░░ and pay all the ░░░░░░░░ officers and pay all ░░░░░░░░ firefighters and everything what ░░░░░░░░ the plan for crisis ░░░░░░░░ in terms of funding ░░░░░░░░ state I don t ░░░░░░░░ anybody could have planned ░░░░░░░░ crisis management of this ░░░░░░░░ of this type in ░░░░░░░░ York or your state ░░░░░░░░ New Jersey The fact ░░░░░░░░ this is unprecedented There ░░░░░░░░ nothing like this If ░░░░░░░░ was a tornado or ░░░░░░░░ hurricane we would reimburse ░░░░░░░░ for their expenses that ░░░░░░░░ one thing You should ░░░░░░░░ or tornado or flood ░░░░░░░░ to some extent but ░░░░░░░░ be anticipating a pandemic ░░░░░░░░ we have over a ░░░░░░░░ of a million people ░░░░░░░░ in New York how ░░░░░░░░ you plan for that ░░░░░░░░ Like I said New ░░░░░░░░ is obviously a uniquely ░░░░░░░░ state in the country ░░░░░░░░ now I do think ░░░░░░░░ should have separate considerations ░░░░░░░░ should New Jersey What ░░░░░░░░ you think about Illinois ░░░░░░░░ what do you think ░░░░░░░░ other places where the ░░░░░░░░ is that taxpayers 9 ░░░░░░░░ per taxpayer for this ░░░░░░░░ billion suggested deal Should ░░░░░░░░ be a lot of ░░░░░░░░ tight restrictions on where ░░░░░░░░ money can go Yet ░░░░░░░░ money should go only ░░░░░░░░ directly Coronavirus related expenses ░░░░░░░░ McConnell staked out the ░░░░░░░░ amount of money per ░░░░░░░░ if he wants to ░░░░░░░░ cutting money he should ░░░░░░░░ with Kentucky Martha Message ░░░░░░░░ Mitch McConnell from Pete ░░░░░░░░ congressman from New York ░░░░░░░░ you very much congressman.
