This is the Tom Harbin Program.

And greetings, my friends, patriots, lovers of democracy, truth and justice, believers and

peace, freedom and the American way, Tom Harbin here with the Broadcasting live from shelter

in place, my home office in Portland.

And to start out, Congressman Mark Pocan is with us.

He represents the Second District of Wisconsin, he's the co-chair of the Congressional Progressive

Caucus.

His website is pocan.house.gov, POCAN.house.gov, you can tweet him at rep mark Pocan.

And he will be with us for the hour, taking your calls, Congressman Pocan.

So what's on your mind today and what do you see on the legislative agenda and the news

horizon that has you excited, worried or both?

Boy, a lot's going on, Tom.

I think the biggest thing for us right now is we're trying to finalize this bill to keep

the federal government open as well as COVID relief bill.

We had an update just this morning, talks are still going on as Republicans are still dragging

their feet, but it looks like I think we'll be able to get to an agreement as long as

they've got some things in there that work and some things that are bad aren't in there.

And I think we're seeing some progress on that.

And we feel strongly there should be some stimulus or survival checks because that's really

what it's about as survival.

And as a progressive caucus, we had a call last night and members were very supportive

of saying that's got to be a must for anything to move forward.
