Relative clauses (Restrictive vs. nonrestrictive)

your turn next to the Hill tonight, the political battle and American families who want to know when are we going to get help, including those $1200 checks for individuals who makes 75,000 or less and check for less who make up to 99,000 angry debate on the Senate floor?

Here's Mary Bruce on the Hill tonight, tonight on Capitol Hill, frantic negotiations over the nearly $2 trillion bill to rescue the American economy.

We're very close to reaching a deal very close, and our goal is to reach a deal today, but they're not there yet.

Twice in 24 hours, Democrats have blocked the Republican bill, insisting it puts big businesses ahead of American workers and doesn't do enough to help families, health care workers and hospitals.

But Republicans say Democrats are playing politics.

This is not a juicy political opportunity.

The bill would give millions of Americans a $1200 check and $500 per child, but the biggest sticking point of $500 billion relief fund for corporations.

Democrats say it's a slush fund to dole out money with few strings attached on the Senate floor today, anger and frustration is there.

You know what the American people are thinking right now?

President, They're thinking that this country was founded by geniuses, but it's being run by a bunch of any Congress.

Tonight is racing the clock and the virus itself.

Rand Paul, now the first senator and third member of Congress to test positive.

More than a dozen lawmakers are in quarantine.

Senator Amy Klobuchar husband has tested positive and is in the hospital.

I love him, and not being able to be by his side is one of the hardest things about this disease.

The White House, acutely aware of the staggering economic impact of social distancing.

Our country wasn't built to be shut down.

This is not a country that was built for this.

We cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself.

Trump's closest ally on the Hill, Senator Lindsey Graham, is strongly pushing back tweeting when it comes to how to fight Corona virus.

I'm making my decisions based on health care professionals, not political punditry.

Now the Treasury secretary has been shuttling back and forth between Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer's office all day long, trying toe work this out.

They're optimistic, but there is still no deal, and they're hoping those checks will go out to Americans early next month.

But bottom line, we simply don't know when exactly that's going to happen.
