i know it from rhode island. we need to rebuild systems of training, i.t., so these workers can have i.t., wages. it is vital. by the way, you cannot go to work and be productive if you cannot have good access to childcare or eldercare. our people confused, yes. are there some republicans balking at the inclusion of the care economy, yes. but i like our chances of getting it through. the president is committed. david: we have a 1.9 trillion dollar stimulus package the president got through. there were no tax increases, we borrowed all of that money. why not do the same with the infrastructure bill, why do we need tax increases? gina: call it old-fashioned, but the president thinks we ought to pay for our investments. you have to pay the bill, you cannot put everything on the credit card and not pay it. the rescue package was an emergency. there were lives on the line, we had to get the vaccine out, we had to meet the needs of the pandemic, that was the crisis, emergency response, so he felt it was appropriate. th

we were just kind of working class rhode islanders. david: rhode island's is a small state, but everybody must know everybody because senator reid says he was your babysitter. sec. raimondo: it is a fact. he was my next her neighbor. we went to the that she was my next-door neighbor. we went to the same school. we all went to the same school. we all knew each other. the donlon's and my family, we all made a living as kids working at the same summer club on the same beach. david: only one of them became a rhodes scholar and that is you. you one --won a rhodes scholarship and got into the law school. with a harvard degree, oxford degree, yale degree. you could've gone anywhere. why did you go back to rhode island? not that it's not a great place. sec. raimondo: because i loved it. i felt i owed something to the community. there is something special about building businesses in the community where you are from and seeing them flourish in the community you care about. david: you ran initially for the treasurer position. why did you want to

governor of rhode island. president biden asked her to serve as secretary of commerce. many presidents have proposed infrastructure proposals and bills, but very through of got it through. why do you think president biden's bill will likely get through if you do? sec. raimondo: i think we will. i have had numerous conversations with people on capitol hill. there is bipartisan support for the bill. maybe not all of the bill, all aspects of it, but i think there is a growing recognition that we have kicked the can long enough, and there is a backlog of infrastructure in every state in america. and i think this will be the moment. and the president is determined. so that helps. david: the president has two types of infrastructure. traditionally its bridges, airports, toll roads, he has that in the first part. in the second part, the caring part which deals with elderly care, child care, kindergarten, so forth. why did he do it that way and are people confused when he calls things related to people infrastructure?

we just, we were work desk working class rhode islanders. david: senator reid says he was your babysitter. >> it is a fact. he was my next-door neighbor. we went to the same high school. by the way as did tom donlon and mike donlon. we will all went to the same high school. we all knew each other. the donlon's and my family, we all made a living as kids working at the same summer club on the same beach. david: only one of them became rhodes scholar, which is you. you one -- rhodes scholar, yale law school. harvard degree and ask -- and oxford degree and yale law school degree, you could have gone anywhere. why did you go back to rhode island? not that is not a great place. >> i loved it. i love the place. i felt i owed something to the committee. there's something special about building businesses in the community where you are from and seeing them flourish in the community you care about. david: you ran initially for the treasury position of rhode island. why did you want to be treasurer of rhode island? >> it's funny. when i ran, that was

you grew up in rhode island. were you the child of privilege d parents, very wealthy parents were not? gina: i was not. my dad worked his whole life at a watch factory. rhode island was once the jewelry manufacturing capital of america. my mom stayed at home with three kids. i grew up in a small house. there were six of us, my grandfather lived with us, he was an italian immigrant. i joked when i went to harvard, i was so excited because i got my own bed. because i shared a bed with my sister until then, so we were a working class family. we weren't poor, my dad lost his job in the late 1950's so things got tougher after that, but we were just kind of working class rhode islanders. david: rhode island is a small state. everybody must know everybody because senator reid from rhode island says he was your babysitter at one point, is that true? gina: it is a fact.

so it's put rhode island in a good spot. we need to open up our businesses and get people back to work and we need to do it safely. and we're able to do that at this point in time. i was pleased that cdc came out with that. i mean, every state can make their own decisions what they do. rhode island is in a good spot to be following the guidance and i was really happy to see the president make that announcement that it's time to get back to work. and people who are vaccinated can enjoy the freedom of not wearing a mask inside. and those who are not vaccinated, we're not giving people in the state of rhode island a pass in terms of not becoming vaccinated, because it's safe, it saves lives, and right now everybody should be getting vaccinated in our state and around the country. >> so you are proceeding a little ahead of schedule, because it was already your plan to lift capacity limits on businesses come may 18th, right in time for the memorial day holiday. are you at all concerned, worried, or do you have a lot of confidence

(woman speaking over intercom) >> sullivan: but even those opposed to pvate equity say dramatic change may be needed. >> we've come to the point where we're failing in terms of being able to run the hospital sufficiently. if we can't get funding from the public sector, we

i remember when bulova watch collapsed in rhode island. she made good on it in venture capital and in politics. david: she has an incredible story. she came from a blue-collar family. her father lost her job. she went to harvard, lost her -- near the top of her class, venture capitalist. she chose not to go to new york or washington or l.a. built a business before she got into politics. tom: she got into politics and got high marks in a challenging rhode island. it is a rhode island that all agree has a worn-out infrastructure. she is focused on that right now. david: that is correct. infrastructure is something rhode island really needed. she helped reform that. elected governor twice. she chose to come to washington. she could have stayed as rhode island governor, maybe run for president down the road. she could still do that down the road. she wanted to come to washington to help president biden do the kind of things he is trying to do. she is the point person on the infrastructure plan. lisa: also a point person with respect to our pol

i hear you because, rhode island is a small state. they don't have the person power to do that work. in both, a significant portion of the funds will be dedicated to doing exactly what you are talking about. providing local communities technical support and assistance so that they can in fact access the funding due to grant writing , higher consultants to augment their own staff --hire consultants to augment their own staff. >> thank you for that. we will go into a second round of questioning, but i want to yield the floor to ranking member for five years desperate has minutes of questions. -- for five minutes of questions. >> section 232 could be utilized in a much better way to stem the tide of well-documented subsidies that drive overcapacity in china. the execution of the program and its exclusion program -- process has been hurting domestic aluminum producers. in december, the commerce department acknowledged technical and policy issues remained. i believe some of the changes that were made deserves a re-examination. will you and

i come from rhode island. rhode island was once the jewelry manufacturing capital of the world. we had tons of jewelry manufacturing jobs here. my dad worked at the bull over a watch company. when he was 56, after 28 years, the factory closed, all the jobs went to china and it was really tough for my family and the whole community. so i have religion on this topic and i believe strongly that this is our moment to areshore a lot of manufacturing and receipt decent paying family supporting manufacturing jobs and it will be a primary focus of what i do. i think there is -- i will be very brief. there are things we can do on offense and things we can do on defense. on offense, we need to invest. you know, we need to make capital available to small and medium-sized manufacturers. the president's budget for commerce calls for big increases in the manufacturing extension partnership. i did -- i worked that as governor. we always had much more demand than supply. this absolutely will create manufacturing jobs. advanced manufacturing and innovation. the president's budget calls for a man

for the past 10 years, i have been a public servant in rhode island. it is exciting for me to be on president biden's team. he is setting a breakneck pace for the rest of us to try to keep up with. frankly, there is a lot of work to do. i will say, as you know, but it is important that you hear it from me, the president is deeply committed to sustained engagement with our partners throughout the western hemisphere to advance our shared vision for a future that is democratic, middle-class, and secure. the overarching goal is to support prosperity, safety, and a democratic region where the u.s. can partner with countries in that region to advance our shared interest. we trade twice as much with the countries of north, central, and south america as we do in china. there is a lot of talk about china. that is an important statistic to remember. we expert more to our neighbors in the western hemisphere that we do to all of asia combined. i do not think it is possible to overstate the importance of our economic engagement with the americas. it is also importa

i'm joined now by that governor, daniel mckee of rhode island. governor, thanks for joining us on this. i really appreciate it. this is astounding to see the steps that you are taking in your state, especially when it comes to raising the minimum wage, something the biden administration wanted to do on a federal level, has not been able to achieve. talk me through how this is actually going to work. >> yeah, so, first, the vaccination rates allows us to reopen our economy. i think we're about 87%, 97% on 65 and older, about 83% on 50 and older so that's a really important point, and our economy is ready to open up. yesterday, we reopened 100% of our economy, and we were able to do that because of the vaccination rate. but that brought an issue, right, with the workers. so, some states are, like you say, with texas, they're talking about, you know, these people on unemployment not willing to come back to work. we look at that as different. with the people who are on unemployment, they get a $300 benefit. we want them to keep that. in our state, a

and many of them in rhode island. the two other comments i want to make is, one was, again, to show that both of our political parties sometimes go awry, but one of the things that john warner did, he didn't need to do this, he was a sitting senator, well respected, senior, there was a fellow in virginia that was getting into politics that had kind of a checkered history. and sometimes was not necessarily always willing to tell the truth. his name was oliver north. and jordan -- and john warner did not think that mr. north had the personal characteristics that ought to be a senator of virginia. and at great political risk to himself, he was willing to make that known. didn't leave the party, his party. he said that his republican party had to stand for principles, truth, and the respectful rule of law. again, an example of the john warner that was so special. more recently, as senator kaine knows, we in virginia, we have a very checkered history with race, and in the aftermath of brown versus board of education, there

from california to missouri to rhode island, these organizations are showing us we need a strong people power movement. that is why we are also making significant federal investments for these goals. we have dedicated 250 million dollars for community organizations to provide vaccine organization, helping appointments and transportation to those appointments. we also announced an additional $130 million which will support equity efforts to reach high-risk communities. and another $100 million will go to rural clinics in their outreach efforts. on top of this, another $250 million will be available to states and jurisdictions to power the next phase of their outreach efforts. this is also why the administration rolled out different tools to make it even more convenient to find a vaccine. you can now enter your zip code on vaccine.gov in english and spanish and get information for vaccine locations around you. you can also text your zip code to 438829 and you will receive three vaccination sites near you. it is quick and easy to do. i do it a few times to make sure that everything is stil

you wroteid on friday representd sicily any democrat of rhode island on friday began asking democratic colleagues to sign on to a resolution to censure the house republicans who tried this week to minimize the severity of the generous six insurrection. in a letter to bell house democrats representative says illini saint the resolution will be forthcoming and specifically centura public and representative andrew clyde of georgia, jody heise georgia and paul of arizona for the remarks at a house oversight and reform committee hearing on wednesday downplaying and making false claims about the violent attacks on the u.s. capital. explain. >> congressman sissel amy says he's introducing this forthcoming resolutioninng and t will likely expect that a lot of democrats will sign on to this but democrats have previously introduced resolutions earlier this year right after january 62 censure congressman mel brooks for making false claimse of election fraud ahead of january 6. so, those resolutions have not gone anywhere because they have been wary of going as far as and very few members have eve

president, i yield the floor. >> senator from rhode island. >> mr. president, my colleagues have expressed overwhelming confidence in this bill and i don't think that confidence will be eroded through more careful consideration by the committee. i think, in fact, the committee process could add. it will allow us to incorporate, examine, accept some and reject other provisions of the recommendations by the irc and it also will, i think, encounter or allow us to consider something that we really haven't considered as consistently as the issue of sexual assault. that is the indications that racial bias is such that all felonies must be taken out of the hands of command. it's not just those related to individual sexual assaults or sexual harassment cases or other related sexual conduct or misconduct, i should rightly advocate this. so, again, i think if we want to go ahead and make a fundamental change, committee consideration can only assist that change, but getting broad viewpoints of those who are in favor of it, those who may be opposed to it and tho
