Joining us now, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California. Madam Speaker, your thoughts on what happened last night and what would you call it?

Since we posted our updated Heroes Act last night, we were very pleased by the enthusiastic endorsements it has received with more on the way.

It includes new funding needed to avert catastrophe for schools, small businesses, restaurants, performance spaces, airline workers and others.

And House Speaker Nancy Pelosi joins me now from the Capitol.
