00:00What do you want to hear from him and also since both of you are members of the California

00:11delegation, can you speak specifically to the role that the Speaker Emerita played in

00:17this process, in this transition between the President and Vice President and whether or

00:24not that was a factor in how this all ultimately played out?

00:29I can't speak to that, I'm not privy to those conversations but I can tell you that as Californians

00:36we have immense pride in the Vice President.

00:41Many of us have supported her, if not all of us have supported her candidacy and her

00:47stepping forward.

00:49We look forward to working with her over the next hundred days.

00:54This is going to be a sprint.

00:56But we want to see the President, look, the President's patriotism is unmatched.

01:03As the Vice Chair mentioned and as I mentioned at the top, I expect that the President will

01:08talk about the work that we have done together but how this is unfinished.

01:13We still are working to lower costs than Americans have.

01:18We still have things that we need to accomplish in childcare and in housing.

01:24Everything's looking forward in the next few years but within this next six months

01:28of the Administration, there's a lot of work to do.

01:31And the President is going to do that hard work and all of us are going to play a role

01:37in that.

01:38We're also going to do some politics outside of this building but the work that remains

01:43is what's going to focus Joe Biden and it's going to build on the legacy that he has put

01:51forward over the last three and a half years and we're all looking forward to that.

01:57I don't have any knowledge of Speaker Pelosi's talks with the President or his advisors.

02:02On President Biden's address tomorrow, I believe he'll remind America what it was

02:07like four years ago where there were bread lines and under the Trump Administration,

02:13you had government shutdowns, you had schools that were closed, you had people that were

02:18getting sick, and you had a former president that grossly mishandled the pandemic.

02:23And under the Biden Administration, you got shots in people's arms, you had schools reopening,

02:29you have an economy that is now starting to roar again and I think that's what President

02:34Biden is going to talk about and also with their work ahead and how we continue on the

02:38progress that the Biden-Harris Administration has made these last three and a half years.
