Some highlights: 

Neil Cavuto: “[…] Do you think COVID relief talks are dead?”

Rep. Jodey Arrington: “Well if [COVID relief] is dead, it’s because Nancy Pelosi has continued with her obstructionist obsession of this president, even when we're in a crisis, and we have real consequences to the political games that she's playing and you know that they are games when it's not just Republicans who are criticizing her […]

“Meanwhile, the President […] is making a credible counteroffer and has met her more than halfway, because he's a president that is a problem solver, he's a negotiator, and he's a pragmatist, and he knows that the American people, many of our fellow Americans, still need help, and he's willing to do everything that he can to keep it in play and provide that much needed assistance.”

Cavuto: “[…] The feeling seems to be that Nancy Pelosi is wagering, it hurts the president, or do you agree with that?”

Arrington: “[…] I think that Nancy Pelosi’s calculation has been over the last two years as Speaker that, at all cost, we must prevent the president from getting a win, even if that means the American people lose […] I think, ultimately, the American people […] see the truth of the matter and here, the truth is, she's obstructing, which is no different than what she's done for two years, the President's trying to lead.”

Cavuto: “[…] I don't believe the two would talk to each other in many, many months. That is unusual, and I’m not blaming one versus the other. But if the president were reelected, they'd eventually have to start talking to each other? Or do they?[…]”

Arrington: “[…] Part of governing is to have these relationships, and these personal engagements, but at this juncture, I think the President is having the secretary engage with not only Pelosi but her team, and other members of Congress, I think this is in play the ball is still alive because this President is willing to negotiate but you're right long term, we've got to be able to work together. Even if she's going to weaponize impeachment over and over and over again, we've got to consider our country's future first and foremost.”
