We need the testing. We are doing testing on the last pennies of the money that we were granted through the leadership, our Speaker and others. They need testing. I will be in a stadium this coming week, trying to get people tested. That is how much we need it. Then, of course, $28 billion in procurement, distribution, education, materials for the vaccine. But I want to focus on the $600 for unemployment, the money for the $1,200, as well as the money for rental and mortgage to prevent mortgage foreclosure. The restaurant money, I want it for the independent pizza shops who hire people, for the workers who are going to be out of work, like airport workers or airline workers. The food insecurity, people are standing on line to get food. What don't my good friends understand? That people are desperate, and they are in need? I wish we were not discussing questions about white supremacy and whether or not someone believed it or not. I wish we would stay focused on getting this bill passed for the desperate people, no matter what backgrounds they are. I want to rise in enthusiastic support for this Heroes bill, H.R. 8406. Let's pass it now. {time} 1700
