"Secretary Mnuchin I hope you will return to the negotiating table prepared to find common cause" Rep Clyburn tells Mnuchin as select committee hearing gets under way

"Mr Jordan I think you may have to unmute yourself"
"I thought I was unmuted I don't know how I got muted"

Went through this same thing earlier today with my second- and third-grade daughters' remote learning !

Mnuchin: "I believe a bipartisan agreement still should be reached" to increase UI, funding for Postal Service, PPP, etc

Jim Jordan says a V-shaped recovery would happen a lot quicker "if you didn’t have Democrat governors keeping people from going back to work."

"Stop bragging about what we’ve already done we have people who are hurting," Maxine Waters tells Mnuchin

Mnuchin: "We'd like to extend enhanced unemployment and we’d like to send out more economic impact payments. Those have both been critical to the economic recovery."

Rep Andy Kim asks Mnuchin if he agrees with Kudlow that there is a V-shaped recovery happening -- Kim saying it might be K-shaped.

Mnuchin: "Let’s not get lost on different letters of the alphabet. Let’s move forward in a bipartisan basis on areas we can agree on."

Maxine Waters asking Mnuchin to call Pelosi today to restart talks.
Mnuchin: "Can I tell her you suggested I call her right after the hearing?"
"Yes yes yes" Waters says
"Done, I will call her right after the hearing," says Mnuchin

This hearing is now coming to an end with clyburn quoting Alexis de Tocqueville and also saying that there are more unemployed people than Mnuchin says
