and those republicans voted against this bill. some of the donations came before the john lewis voting rights letter of support and before the vote this week, we knew this was going to happen. the party was very clear they were not going to support new voting rights legislation. we known that for months. but the donations, they kept flowing. >> jane tim thank you for the great breakdown. great you have to on. appreciate it. thank you. >>> i want to go back now to the capitol, debate was supposed to begin about 45 minutes ago, 40 minutes ago, or so, ahead of what we expected to be these dual votes moving forward the president's agenda with that bipartisan infrastructure bill and the bigger broader climate and social spending bill. it hasn't happened yet. garrett haake, what's up? >> longtime viewers know i believe when it comes to congress you always bet the over on how long anything will take. that continues to be the case here. you are looking at another point of order, another kind of republican delaying tactic that's happening

if the infrastructure bill doesn't pass the other bill won't pass. this is all a cynical machine politics deal and no republican should side with the machine. this is the last stand of the left. i think it's crazy. new york state they had three different referenda trying to change the election law toward hr1. 63% of new yorkers voted no. that was tuesday. you are seeing over and over again the defeat of the state senate president in new jersey by a guy who spent $153. >> dana: you have to love -- >> they're trying to send a signal to washington >> dana: the incumbent democrat who lost this morning they are trying to smear the guy who won and it is a little late for that. have you seen this harassment of senator manchin? this follows what happened to kyrsten sinema. being -- it's one thing to go to somebody's house and another to try to trap somebody in a parking garage. what do you think about these tactics from the left? >> look, i think they are exactly like the brown shirts in italy and germany and 30s and late 20s. like the soviets in 1917, like

does the first bill passing endangered the second bill passing, and what links them? when is it going to be voted on? >> we'll, if the passage of the first bill didn't threaten the passage of the second bill, it would not have been held hostage for three months. the president could have had a signing ceremony in august, with several republican senators who are supported this bill and instead, we're looking at the barrel of the week before thanksgiving at best. it could go later than that though. i do think there has been enough of a commitment from different factions of the democratic party, and the democratic caucus to each other and it will pass. we just don't know when. i think the problem for democrats, on messaging the second bill, you heard secretary buttigieg talking about the quote infrastructure bill being very popular, with 70% of americans favoring. it they promised a lot of programs that will not attempt in the final bill. the people will be extra confused about what's in, it dual nazi projects in their communities. they drive down the road, that will be a

i viewed as a positive demand bill and eight negative supply bill. therefore i think it will feed the spiral we are potentially heading into. that's another thing to disagree with jason on another point, wages have not kept up with the surge in prices. wages will, when wages start to adjust early next year wages are going to go up in employers are going to have to pass those wage increases. that is why we start to have a spiral because up from here. it's very important policy get it right right now i think this bill is the right policy under some circumstances but not these. >> jason it does seem as though i know you're going to argue this will help increase supply in the long term you've said that with the bipartisan infrastructure bill. it seems again like not the kind of priorities the u.s. should really be focusing on right now given where inflation is kevin says it's going to put up is going to raise taxes. there are a lot of things that need more urgent attention than this transform the u.s. economy in this way. >> gerry, we elected president e

a bill that no one has read adds hundreds of bills to the deficit, was written in secret and rushed to the floor to hide it from the american people. we have now the official costs. the ruts are in. the claim by the president this costs zero and reduce the national deficit is undrew. according to the congressional budget office even counting the budget gimmicks, this bill adds hundreds of billions of dollars to the national debt and more true accounting by the committee for responsible federal budget es

there's no question that the people who have held up this bill, both of these bills in both the house and the senate are those moderate outliers. both would have been done had these negotiations proceeded and what we're actually seeing play out is the reason why president biden, nancy pelosi, the house speaker, chuck schumer, the senate majority leader have all wanted to get this build back better bill done at the same time because they're concerned they could never get to yes with som some of these members, and we're seeing how difficult it is right now. >> the day started out in a promising way for president biden. he came out to tout these new jobs numbers, which were higher than analysts expected. the unemployment rate went down, and so where do you feel we are at this hour? >> well, yes, i like your analogy that democrats seem to be snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. the day did start out strong. the jobs report was better than expected. the revisions to previous months were positive, so things were not as bad in the last couple of months as we had initially thought. they

competition bill, and this bill is a $250 billion bill that includes $52 billion in straight corporate welfare with no strings attached for a handful of extremely profitable microchip companies. now, is there a problem in that our country is not producing the kind of microchips and the number of microchips that we should? and the answer is yes. it's an issue that we have to deal with. but we can deal with it in a way other than simply handing money to a number of enormously profitable corporations with no protections for the taxpayer at all. by the way, i should also mention as part of the so-called competition bill, there is also a $10 billion handout to jeff bezos, one of the wealthiest people in our country, for space exploration. combining these two pieces of legislation would push the price tag of the defense bill to over $1 trillion for one year. and i want people to remember that because when we talk about build back better, you talk about a ten-year bill. this is one year. meanwhile, while there is limited discussion about the defense bill or corporate welfare in the competitio

six members of the caucus did not vote on the bill. the president says he's confident that the bill will pass, but are you demonstrating that same kind of confidence from those conversations, why were some, their heels so dug in that they were not willing to budge on this, and might that also hold things up for the social spending bill? >> i feel very confident that we have the votes in the caucus to pass the build back better act. everyone i've talked to knows how transformative the investment will be in child care and the expanded child tax credit, in the climate change provisions. you know, as the day started yesterday, every single member of the congressional progressive caucus was ready to vote for both bills. but as it became clear that we did not have the votes for the second bill yesterday, some people felt like it wasn't the right decision. and i think it's actually great that we are the kind of party where everyone feels like they can make the decision that's best for them and their constituents, and at the end of the day we

>> listen, that was about a bill i vetoed which people were very happy i vetoed the bill, that literally parents could take books out of the curriculum. i love my parents but they shouldn't pick my math and science book. we have experts to do that. he is closing his campaign on banning books. it's created a controversy all over the book. he wants to ban toni morrison's book "be loved." he's going after someone who twon nobel prize, presidential medal of freedom. he wants her books banned. in all the hundreds of books you could look at, why the one black female aukt thor. he's ending the campaign on a racist dog whistle. chuck, dorothy and i have raised our five children -- of course parents are involved in it. the question should be should an extreme republican bill that would allow parents to take books off of shelves, should that be left in the hands of the parents or the school boards and others who do this every day. everybody clapped when i said it. >> they would say this is not about banning a book, this is about informing parents that a book may have some material that not all par

we are working on two separate bills -- a bipartisan infrastructure bill which will finally begin to address the reality that our bridges are crumbling, but we want to move both bills in tandem. the second bill, the bill that deals with the needs of the working class, that deals with the existential threat of climate change, that bill is still being worked on today. it will be worked on tomorrow. we are making some progress in making it stronger. host: bernie sanders yesterday on state of the union. the movement of these two bills and the timing they get voted on, explain why that is important. guest: this battle between moderates and progressives has been less about policy and more about political tactics and strategies. we have seen that play out over the course of the last many weeks. there has been movement on that front in terms of democrats wringing those strategies together. the progressive caucus had insisted that they wanted a vote on the reconciliation package in the senate and sent to president biden before they would agree to back the infrastructure package. that is what

. 2018, no such infrastructure bill. 2019, no such infrastructure bill. but in 2019 in early 2019, the president said $1 trillion is not enough we ought to do $2 trillion. that was president trump. $2 trillion. was his suggestion. and we asked him, mr. president we'll support that, tell us how you think we ought to fund it. oh. had to fund it. president never came forth either with a bill or with funding. for a bill. so we didn't pass that. this president said no, we do need infrastructure. and the figure that trump used is not certainly what this country needs but it is a very, very good start. so he sent down a bill to accomplish that objective. that bill was not the one we passed. because eight senators from the republican side of the aisle, eight senators from ethis democratic side of the aisle got together. talked about what can we agree upon? i hear so much, particularly from, when i have colloquies with the minority whip about bipartisanship we ought to come together. we ought to work together. well, eight senators on the republican side and eight

democrats progressively walked the bill for months to force a bill on the other piece of masses deflation. the vote will take place after were congress returned ahead of thanksgiving recess. at three seat majority in the house, one gop center was shocked it would pass the bill. >> it was surprising to me to see 13 republicans basically bail nancy pelosi out. she didn't have the votes in her own party to do that. third 13 republicans decided to step up and help her promote the book themselves on a path to early retirement. reporter: not long after president biden came here from a federal appeals court blocked the ministrations covid vaccine mandate. the administer she says it will defendant in court. jon: lucas, thanks. joining us now with reaction, virginia republican congressman rob whitman. a member of the house armed services committee committee on natural resources. congressman, you don't seem to think much of the bill passed last night. why? >> it's all about the green new deal. if you look at the $1.2 trillion, $550 billion is new spending. on 110 billion goes to roads, bridges and

holding this bill hostage is not going to work in getting my support for the reconciliation bill. throughout the last three months i've been straightforward about my concerns and i will not support a reconciliation package that expands social programs and irresponsibly adds to our $29 trillion in national debt that no one seems to really care about or even talk about. nor will i support a package that risks hurting american families suffering from historic inflation. simply put, i will not support a bill that is this consequential without thoroughly understanding the impact that it will have on our national debt, our economy, and most importantly, all of our american people. every elected representative needs to know what they are voting for and the impact it has, not only on their constituents, but the empire country. that is why we must allow time for complete transparency and analysis on the impact of changes to our tax code and energy and climate policies to ensure that our country is well-positioned to remain the superpower of the world, while we inspire the rest of the world

this bill is an answer. this bill will make a difference in their lives. that's why this bill is so historic, not for next year or the year after, but for decades to come. it will make america a better land, a land of greater opportunity, a land of the free, a land of the brave. i now yield to my distinguished colleague from south carolina, who counted the votes precisely, precisely. thank you, jim clyburn, from south carolina. >> thank you very much, mr. leader, madam speaker, and this great leadership team. let me thank all of you for a great job well done. last night, when i spoke on this bill, i called it the third leg of a three-legged stool, needed to balance not just the stool but balance people's lives. what are we doing for the people that we serve? what are we doing for their families? what are we doing for the communities that we live in? so when you looked at the rescue act and the infrastructure bill and this one, i think you can see that we have now proposed comprehensive approaches from the federal government to rescue these lives, save thes

joe biden's bill finally passes. they say it's a monumental step forward for america. >>> breaking news at this hour, a deadly stampede at a concert in houston. officials say more than half a million could die this winter alone. remembers live from cnn center, this is cnn "newsroom. >> u.s. president joe biden finally has one pillar of his sweeping domestic win in congress with final passage of his $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill. >> on this vote, the yays are 228. the nays are 206. the motion is adopted. >> getting the bill through the house was an uphill struggle. passage wasn't a sure thing. late night arm twisting by the president got enough votes to make it happen. he released this statement touting the achievement, that reads in part, the bill will create millions of jobs and turn the climate crisis an opportunity to put us on the path to win the economic competition for the 21st century. >> reporter: big news out of the u.s. house of representatives tonight as the bipartisan infrastructure bill makes it out

you cannot do that until he whole bill is ready in the house. they have to pass the whole bill. that takes about a week it's a 2000 page bill. while we already have some text of i think seven committees, the vast majority is in committees that have not gotten it ready yet. it takes about a week. that is what we will do in the upcoming week during the recess week we cannot do anything anyway. but we hope, hope, hope the house to pass it soon. and hope to begin debate on the 15th after the parliamentary scrub. then of course there was a verbal contest as well. >> just a follow up on, have you made a decision on whether you'll put the debt limit in the reconciliation package? secretary ellen is indicated she's okay. >> b think it should be bipartisan. i'm still appalled there's no benefits. i'm going to make up a word i have deep, a palm and spray. >> that is my daughter, which he calls i get a little nervous sometimes. i won't say why but it is good. but in any case they would play games even with this. this is even just something unprecedented. three times we voted to release the

it's a bipartisan bill. but the reconciliation bill what it says kind of slow down and take a breath. take a look at this, talking about major tax overhaul reform. talking about major policy. talking about whole social rearrangement. $29 trillion of debt that we better get our hands around it and be responsible. and i have always said if you can't get your financial house in order it's hard to do anything. >> bret: you know, president biden was asked today about what he thought the issue was in virginia. take a listener to this answer. >> did you state that terry mcauliffe would have won if your agenda would have passed before election day? >> well, i think we should have passed before election day. but i'm not sure that i would be able to have changed the number of very conservative folks who turned out in the red districts who were trump voters. but, maybe. >> bret: do you think if infrastructure had passed before election day. >> it should have passed just on its own merits. it's a piece of bill that we w

infrastructure bill but did not confine his vision for america in that bill alone. today, we have the opportunity toll build back better for the american people, for the children. i urge a the speaker: on this vote, the yeas are 220. the nays are 213, the build back better bill is passed [cheering] [captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2021] [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, which is responsible for its caption content and accuracy. visit ncicap.org] >> house speaker nancy pelosi and other democratic leaders talked to reporters after the vote, approving the president's climate and social spending plan. rep. pelosi: good morning. and a good morning it is. today, we had the honor of participating in passing legislation for the people to build back better, as i always say, with women, for the children. this occasion would not have been possible without the vision of our great president, president biden. he has said that the infrastructure bill was very important, and we agree, but it was not the total of his vision for how we do b

mccarthy: we talked about a parents' bill of rights. parents have a right to know what is being taught in their schools. they have a right to know what money is being spent. they have a right to know what violence is happening on their campus as well. i think you'll see an introduction of that bill later today. reporter: i wanted to ask you about the 2022 beijing, do you support a full or diplomatic boycott of that? and what is your message to athletes? mr. mccarthy: i have a hard time wondering why the world would reward china, especially after covid, with another olympics. hard time wondering why we wouldn't move it to another country. i would support the moving of the olympics. paul, you doing ok? got any questions? i worry about you sometimes. reporter: when is the last time you spoke to donald trump? mr. mccarthy: this morning. reporter: [inaudible] ? mr. mccarthy: he called up, he was on the golf course. reporter: did he talk about yesterday? mr. mccarthy: no, just catching up. i have a lot of friends, i talk to a lot of people. y

it is a must-pass bill. it is a bill that will pass. it is a must-pass because it will give our tools -- troops the training they need. that's why we passed the ndaa for 60 straight years. this year will be 61. this is pretty much the only authorization bill that gets done the way it should year after year. in fact, it's pretty much the only bill period that congress does every single year without fail. however, no matter how important it is, that doesn't mean that we'll accept the fact that senator schumer wants to jam it through the senate without adequate consideration. let me be clear, senator schumer has put us in this position today. he waited more than two months after we filed the ndaa to bring it to the floor. two months. we could have been discussing this and having it and treating it like we should. he tried to tack it on his unrelated legislation. just as many of us, including my democrat colleague in the house, adam smith, guessed that he would. now he wants a floor vote on this bill, the most important bill that we do all

the american rescue plan, the infrastructure bill and bill back better at. and three other goals were to recover from the pandemic, create jobs and lower taxes. and as cochair dingell said we created nearly 5 million jobs since january 20. we've also cut taxes. we've increased dramatically the tax cuts for american families with children. and then we set those payments on a recurring monthly basis in the middle of each month. the joint committee led by chairman buyer has shown about $19 billion in additional economic growth happens at the local jurisdictions every month . no republicans voted forthat. every democrat did now were trying to extend this tax cut for families of children and the bill back better at . we also know when you look at this tax cut that it helps people get back into the workforce. it uses money for child care to pay for gas. and that's freeing up parents to do what they need to do to take care oftheir family and reenter the workforce . we hope republicans can join us in supporting this tax cut. we also know the conscience is clear. whe

the bills began to pile up. "the post" says eventually more than $225,000 were paid including $55,000 for rooms and suites at posh willard hotel in washington that served as the command center for efforts to deny biden the presidency in the days leading up to the attack on the capitol on january 6th. the january 6th select committee has requested all documents relating to the attempt to challenge the 2020 election and specifically named carrick and giuliani. a spokesman for trump says the former president is making executive privilege determinations carefully based on the laws. >>> still ahead, why the green bay packers will be without their star quarterback this weekend. >>> plus, a homecoming celebration for the atlanta braves following their surprising world series win. sports is next. s next wealth is breaking ground on your biggest project yet. worth is giving the people who build it a solid foundation. wealth is shutting down the office for mike's retirement party. worth is giving the employee who spent ha

many of them will remain in place after this bill. what's promising is that the amount of money being made available can really let us tackle transformational changes on our infrastructure systems and it's less of a zero-sum game. where there is a lot of lobbying to compete for small amounts of money. and so, i, for one, am very optimistic about the opportunities and less worried about the barriers at this stage. >> and -- and -- and the next bill that the president wants passed, of course, is that massive build back better legislation. it's going to focus even more on climate. but it also faces a lot more opposition, including from democrat senators like joe manchin, who of course is a big fan of the coal industry. how steep of a hill does that bill face? and how critical are the climate measures in it? >> well, the climate measures in that bill are absolutely critical. if you think about the infrastructure bill that just passed as the down payment on our climate future, the build back better bill is the long-term mortgage and our ab

reconciliation bill. he speaks for them but he is not alone. and there are many more now. >> bill: that was the next follow up on that. do you believe he is running cover for other democrats? if so, how many do you think? >> i think he was. i think they will be more vocal now with virginia and whatever happens in new jersey. look, if new jersey does not turn and it stays democratic, it is still the race of races where biden won by 16 points in that state. so the turnaround is pretty amazing. >> dana: new hampshire, nevada, colorado, these are states that people say they're all blue. maybe not. the other thing i wanted to point out, bret and bill, let's go inside the white house for a second not just thinking about the mid-terms. imagine what the chief of staff ron klain is thinking this morning when you see voter analysis last night, direction of the country would you say things in this country are heading in the right or wrong direction? wrong direction at 65%. they have more fundamental problems than ju

on an infrastructure bill. just tells you the level of animosity in politics at this moment. >> yeah. and finally as the january 6 investigation continues, writ large as juncture, do you have enough evidence, sir, so draw a conclusion? do you feel this was a premeditated part of a coup attempt or is it too early to adjudicate or judge that in your view as leader of the senate? >> in fairness to the investigation and the parties involved, i'm not going to jump to conclusions. i have my inclinations and my own personal thinking. i don't think this happened spontaneously out of nowhere. i think there was something behind it. i think bennie thompson is doing a great job with liz cheney. >> always in the middle of the action but careful with your words. we appreciate you joining us, sir. >> good to be with you. >> we have a lot more on the program, including the president pushing on the spending. we have a look at this anti-government rhetoric. and then something that's gained a lot of attention. we always want to g

what is in the bill for blacks? and what is in the bill for build back better? >> well, let me start with the bipartisan infrastructure. when you think about almost a trillion dollars, let's think about jobs. but also, let's think about contractors and what we have to do is insist that those contracts go to minorities, specifically black contractors and women. so, we have to take a strong stand of not just letting the president sign it. we have to be on the back end in all of our districts making sure that those dollars go for jobs and for contracts because there will be a lot of contracts when you think about broadband. when you think about our children and education and what happened during the pandemic, they couldn't get on the internet. many kids sitting in parking lots, trying to get on restaurants and libraries' wi-fi. so, it's going to make a big difference. now, as we know with build back better, when we look at 17 -- $1.75 trillion. we would be happy if we were talking just $4 billion for childcare or $150 billion for housing, including dollars for vouc

no, we do not know what will be in the final bill. we don't know if those programs will be felt by voters by the mid-term elections. we don't know if it will be voted on by christmas. this is really a tough time for democrats. they were excited about celebrating yesterday. no small thing that it was bipartisan. five republican senators were at the white house for this infrastructure signing. but they have stomach aches right now about the build back better fight going forward. >> indeed, they do. and jaunita, a lot of it keeps coming back to messages. why can't the white house, serious question, hire an ad executive, an ad agency, a television producer, someone with a specialty in selling, someone with a specialty in communication, selling things to, oh, i don't know all 50 states? >> look, i think they're definitely relying on a lot of the democratic campaign committees to help with a lot of that work. but what you can fully expect to see is what we saw from today with the president walking across that bridge. but also applying it to

yet, this process we're looking at in both the house bill election law bills and the voting rights bill is not a genuine effort in my opinion to improve the system. it is an effort that would result in a lack of confidence in a system that's already changen. now the process of shaking the system's confidence may have been unfair but we are where we are. and so what congress should be doing and should be looking for is if we need to make changes it needs to be something coming from both parties. we need to recognize that there are a lack of confidence in a significant portion of the electorate out there and we need to be confident. what's important in elections, of vital importance in elections, more important than anything else, is that the winners win, and equally important, that the rational supporters of the losers believe they lost. everything else is secondary to those two points. and i do not see in any of these changes efforts to address those concerns but efforts that in many ways look like trying to garner political advantage through legislative process and/or the litigation pr

also, this infrastructure bill is major. it gives us an opportunity we haven't had in years to redevelop and rehab our infrastructure, our bridges, our roads, our waters. that's a major investment. in regards to the safety net, i believe the more we focus on public safety, the better outcome we have for our people. i want to focus on public health and the better outcomes we'll get for our people. >> as you mention public safety, you ran in part op racial justice and police reform. you also made very clear that you do not support defunding the police, but you were also critical during the campaign of what you've called overpolicing. so what are you going to do differently when you take office? what does this look like? >> so there's a couple things. we also discussed how we want police to walk the beat again and repair the broken relationships in the communities, particularly communities of color. that i believe's important. second, if overpolicing worked, we wouldn't be having this conversation. it doesn't. we need equitable

was billed not only as an infrastructure bill but a jobs creation bill. what we have in today's environment is inflation and a labor shortage. it was not the best time in the history of america to do an infrastructure bill because we are not going to utilize of the structure. not only did it not have a lot of infrastructure, you will not get a lot for your dollar because the cost of raw materials has included so much. we have such a labor shortage, the wages on those road projects and bridge projects, what few there are, are going to be excessive. i do not think it is the right time to be spending unnecessarily in washington. we need to focus on getting inflation under control, and the build back better should shift the inpatient cycle into a higher gear. host: you mentioned your no vote on the infrastructure bill. 13 house colleagues voted yes. it was 19 in the senate. do you expect any of your republican colleagues to help the democrats move the build back better act this time around? guest: i don't think so. it is hard to argue that any of the spending

we have a bill, the bill is activated usually in -- in december, but then we're already into the next year. so while this seems -- people are saying you're only talking about one bill a year, it doesn't really work out that way and it strengthens our supply chains so we're not relying upon china, we're doing that right now, it addresses threats posed by information warfare and deters the foreign malign influence and stands strong against russia and perhaps most importantly it provides critical lethal aid to ukraine. and we -- we know that these things are working. while radios and cold-weather gear are needed, they won't deter putin's strategy and am -- ambitions, weapons like the javelin and antitank missiles, on the other hand, remind him that invading and annexing kiev will have real and concrete costs. we know that china is expanding had their nuclear weapons. we've got to keep it safe, secure and effective. that's why the ndaa supports the nuclear modernization our military commanders sale is their -- commanders say is their top priority. it provides support for our allies, partn

we'll see the speaker and fail with that bill will be. and if she doesn't schedules a vote, you know, it's going to pass. and then the question's going to be what is krysten sinema going to do in the senate. so that's that's goingtto be. part surely upon partisan lines. but you know. state or that's a bipartisan issue. investing in humans unfortunately, that's become a very partisan a divide in this country right now. >> but back to the bipartisanship we had mitt romney and rob portman at the signing today and the president. called out mitch mcconnell who voted in favor of this infrastructure bill. so as we move forward and these big you know, they have the ribbon cuttings and the gold shovels digging into the ground in republican districts across the country with republican congress members who voted against this infrastructure bill. how does that play out. >> that will be interesting if the economy still isn't isn't going well in those air. some of those areas they're going to take it out on those members of congress say, well, because

in the bill. the power economy bill. the people's economy bill. the economy's future bill. that the e-word is in the bill. that it's -- the job stimulus bill, something, by the way, you go back to obamacare, it was a healthcare bill. civil rights bill was a civil rights bill. this is an economic bill. and you need to own it that way. it's no more complicated than that. but it's not a spending bill because spending can be a dirty word in a lot of places and it's not a build back better because i don't know what the hell that means and i don't mean to dump all over -- that might have been a good presidential term but it's not a term -- it's not a term for this bill. get the e-word in. you want to brand it, b-word, get the e-word into the bill. >> okay, so, what's the ad look like, donny? make me an e-ad. >> okay. it starts out with an old morning in america like it's evening in america, it's a dark america, it's what we inherited, it was covid, it was, you know, the economy in ruins, it was january 6th. and all of a sudden, this economics future bill has shed light. it's crea

last year this time gas was $2.13, this year $3.42, that adds up, bill. >> bill: quite the mark up, bill. that will be on the agenda. so will countless other things. what larry summer his to say, we'll share his comments. democrats saying you are behind the eight ball. >> dana: can't say you didn't warn them. and there is this, both cases resting their casess in the kyle rittenhouse case. he maintains it was self-defense, closing arguments are set for monday. dave hancock is a spokesfortune kyle rittenhouse, we'll hear from him in a moment. we are reporting live from kenosha. hi, alexus. >> we are waiting to hear what will unfold later this morning in court here today. we sat down with kyle rittenhouse's mom in wisconsin last night to talk how she feels things are going inside the courtroom. she has been in there every single day and watched her son take the stand and testify. she feels optimistic about the outcome of this trial. wendy rittenhouse talking to fox news telling us her son was in kenosha last summer to help protect in the shootings. she didn't know her son was going to take

bill through. pelosi is reportedly open to voting and build back better first before the infrasfruk tour package. it appears democrats are ignoring tuesday's election results where progressive policies and candidates were rejected at the ballot box across the country. they're forging ahead to the delight of republicans. >> i think that's a bit disreading of the tea leaves. if you think you need to be more liberal, be my guest. >> the question of the hour is when can we expect a vote? the bill was sent to the rules committee for mark-up yesterday and not passed the rules yet. it could possibly bleed into late tonight or even friday. expect a lot more news, a lot morehead lines to come out in the next hour or so. senator graham is supposed to hold a press conference at 10:30 about tax credits benefiting unions -- 10:30 this morning and house speaker nancy pelosi has her daily briefing about 15 minutes after that. expect a lot more news to break in the next hour. >> dana: you will be very busy. >> ver

this bill, mr. speaker, as i said at the beginning, is for the people, all the people, the little people, the big people, all the people. i urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to be able to say on november 18, 2021, i voted for that legislation which made america, as john kennedy said, a great country even greater. and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from maryland yields. the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. brady: thank you, mr. speaker. i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. brady: so america, the results are in. and now we know. it was all nonsense. just nonsense. the claim that this costs zero and reduces the national debt, nonsense. this bill, even counting the budget gimmicks, is several hundred billion dollars short today in the independent committee foray responsible federal government in 10 years it's closer to $3 trillion national debt. it won't tax the middle class? n

majority leader chuck schumer aims to pass the bill by christmas, but the bill must change to meet the demands of moderates like joe manchin. it may be a challenge for liberals in the house to accept the bill.f january they try to align with the senate. >> sean: in the meantime, debt ceiling problem if i'm not mistaken by december 3rd, chad? >> december 3rd, and janet yellen, sent a note, they have a little more little wiggle room, she said december 15th, but the government funding expires on the 3rd of december. >> sean: chad, republicans have promised, they caved last time, they promised they would not assist the democrats since they have been out of the process of doing this bill from the very beginning. tonight, joe biden on the democrats try to force this country down this path to radical socialism, americans,o they are now letting it be known they do not approve. latest fox news poll just out tonight showing biden with just a 44% approval rating. by the way, another poll came out with him only at 36%. w we have a majority of americans disapproving of the job he is doing, and an e

and over another bill. it's like kids fighting on a playground. get on the same page work with each other. -- get on the same page. work with each other. quit arguing. and the republicans, please help the people. it you are not helping at all. do you care about the people? host: all right. we will leave it there. this is for americans with tax reform. they found provisions in the bill that the house will be bringing up in about seven minutes from now. the democratic bill special tax to hand out to media companies with up to 1500 local journalists. reconciliation bill working its way through the house calls the american taxpayers to subsidize democrats media allies. provides an additional tax cuts under the guise of helping local journalists. up to 1500 reporters or company. this provision will provide a refundable tax credit equal to 50% of wages, up to $12,500 per inc. -- per quarter per employee for the first four calendar quarters and at 30% credit for each calendar quarter thereafter. section 138516, an

this bill is now going to come to the senate. as we know, there is going to be additional work and negotiations that happen in the senate but i'm enthusiastic about this. i'm enthusiastic about supporting the bill when it gets through the senate and we have to get it done. it's urgently important. >> what do you think the likelihood is that any republican senators would vote for it? have you spoken with any who are considering supporting it? >> think about this, the likelihood we have any republican support for this bill is nearing zero. that's despite the fact that the provisions in this bill are broadly supported by the american people. i mean, it's the same reason that we are not seeing any republican support for the voting rights bill that we also need and want to pass this year. i mean, this is -- chalk this up to divisiveness of washington, d.c. but i chalk it up to how out of touch republicans are with constituents in my state who want to see prescription drug prices come down and who know that climate change is really and

the bill is passed. so where it goes now is the u. s. senate. so what is in this bill? a family benefits. $585000000000.00, including universal pre k and 4 weeks of paid leave. in acura immigration reforms in their $100000000000.00, individual tax credits plus cuts. $210000000000.00 for health care. 355000000000 for climate infrastructure. $555000000000.00 to reduce or delay t. c. j. a base broadening and $290000000000.00 for other spending and tax cuts. it's a whole lot of money. so let's bring and boom. moscow has christy i to talk about it with us. christy got to tell you this bill is enormous, but rather than debate, what's in the bill? let's talk about where the money's going to come from. because the truth is the fed is just printing this money. they're literally creating it for the purpose of this bill. how is that gonna further damage the u. s. dollar and contribute to inflation? i kind of already said the fed is just printing more money out of thin air for the purposes of this bill. that's how it's damaging. so instead of budgeting and planning, they're literal

gotta tell you this bill is enormous, but rather than debate, what's in the bill? let's talk about where the money's going to come from. because the truth is the fed is just printing this money. they're literally creating it for the purpose of this bill. how is that gonna further damage the u. s. dollar and contribute to inflation? i kind of already said the fed is just printing more money out of thin air for the purposes of this bill. that's how it's damaging. so instead of budgeting and planning, they're literally just winging and saying that, oh, this inflation problem, it will eventually was off itself. so the fed has had a couple goals and mandates and objectives that they have to achieve according to them. they need to promote maximum unemployment. they've made a promote stable prices and moderate long term interest rates. so based on its recent actions, though, the fed reserve has failed in basically all 3 of those spheres. so 1st the balance sheet in 2008. the federal reserve assets told less than one trillion, but by 2019 it's written about 4 trillion and

the nearly 2 trillion dollars spending bill needs the support of all 50 senate democrats to pass and right now west virginia democrat joe manchin says he's concerned the bill is too expensive meetings were held over the thanksgiving weekend. we will continue this week and next week is needed. still senate majority leader chuck schumer says he hopes to deliver the bill to the president's desk by the holiday. our goal continues to

it is a bill that's paid out over a number of years. >> reporter: the bill drawing support from 13 republican members of congress against the six progressive democrats who opposed the bill because it wasn't tied to the social spending package. dem democrats arguing what should be included in the other $1.75 trillion plan to address universal preschool, child care, home health care for the elderly and efforts to combat climate change. >> we are going to get a very strong version of this bill through the house, to the senate to the president's desk. >> reporter: moderates in the house have agreed to pass that larger social spending package by november 15th, but it's up clear what will happen to the bill once it reaches the senate. >> thank you. >>> time now for a look at your monday weather. coastal south carolina is still drying out after the so-called king tide this weekend. at one point, more than a dozen roads had to be closed in charleston due to flooding. skies are clear over most of the country today except the northern plains and the northwest which is bracing for more heavy rain and mo

they won't have support for that great or social social policy bill that is also pending. so nancy pelosi speaker of the house is basically forcing those progressive democrats into a tough position as we watch this bill, this vote unfold. she's in special, essentially daring. those progressive to vote down this infrastructure bill that she knows they support, but that they have threatened to not vote yes on in order to get the bigger social spending bill passed as well. but as you said, that social spending bill, because of hesitation of its 2 trillion dollar, nearly 2 trillion dollar price tag, there are moderates in a democratic party who are hesitant. and so that is why speaker pelosi has pushed back consideration of that bill by at least 2 weeks. we'll see whether or not progressive except that compromise. all right, for now. thank you. then how does your castro in washington dc so the head, how and there are 3 white men accused of killing an african american man. while he was joking on trial in the state of georgia. there is no stranger in both the environmental train

this bill fixes a lot of stuff. i think that the joe biden for having the fortitude and press on and get it done. >> as we watch the president sign the law into law. the fate of the $2 trillion spending plan remains uncertain to the public. i will say also i'm told that there's going to be the directing of a lot of the contracts to black and people of color contractors and business people. will be involved with provides jobs. how's moderates are yet to receive the cost estimate they demanded in order to get behind the next plan. most house progressives agreed to that request. but there's still no public date for a vote despite a push to get one before weeks end. and the senate appears poised to take up this national defense bill. will we see this bill get passed? >> i'm very hopeful we will. i know we said we'll do it the week of the 15th. that's coming up. i hope we get this done. i think it's very important we do so. when you talk about roads skb bridges and rail and all the other things. you have to talk about hu

the work is two bills. they are the president's vision of a better and stronger america, more competitive america. an america that reaches out to its working men and women. its families. to its children, to educate them. to seniors to care -- make sure that they're cared for properly. these two bills will make, as the president says, a generational change for our country. i believe that the votes today to pass the build -- infrastructure bill and to provide for a path forward by adopting the rule for the passage of the build back better legislation will be a giant step forward. and i am absolutely convinced beyond a doubt that before thanksgiving, the week of the 15th, we will pass the build back better legislation. all members of our caucus have indicated they are for bif. all the members have indicated and i believe we'll have an overwhelming democratic vote and pass on our side of the aisle the build back better bill. i want to introduce jim clyburn who has been so important in moving this forward. >> th

-- the two bills we're talking about, the build back better bill, which we're going to be working on now, and this bill, are all designed to give ordinary people a fighting chance to begin to sort of level the playing field just a little bit, not punish anybody. i've long said it's never ever been a good bet to bet against the american people. never. and that -- what it really means is bet on the american people. give them a shot. give them a shot. that's what these plans do. they bet on average americans. they believe in america. they believe in the limitless capacity of the american people. if you look at the history of the journey of this nation, what becomes crystal clear -- not a joke -- given half a chance, the american people have never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever let their country down. we're about giving them a full chance this time. and when we do, there's going to be no stopping us. i truly believe that 50 years from now, folks are going to look back and say, “this was the moment, this was the period, this year and the next couple years, when america decided to win the

bill. that is what hurt democrats, when hillary said she was going to do away with coal and coal miners, taking their jobs. that hurt democrats. they say they want to take their guns. they never take their guns. they do not understand that it is all about getting stuff to help you. they here we are taking your coal mine, your guns, and that is what they come around with. and your health care. they think democrats are going to take their health care away from them. democrats do not have a good message. joe manchin could help that, but he is doing the opposite of what a true democrat does. host: this is deborah out of virginia, a republican. why are you a republican? caller: good morning. i am really -- i cannot say i am a true republican. i have voted democratic, but when i was younger the democratic party was more for the people and the working man. to me, it seems as if the democratic party has just split. they are more for power and their selves than they are the people. the people -- the
