not approve that infrastructure bill unless this bigger social welfare bill approach is also, but it voted on at the same time. and essentially what's happening at this moment is that the house speaker is trying to call their bluff. she has said that this infrastructure bill, which she knows her caucus supports, she says it will come to a vote this evening though the hours are taking by. we're still not seeing that action on the house floor, and she's essentially daring. those progressive democrats to vote no to, to make good on their, on their threat. because she believes that democrats will vote through this infrastructure bill, which president biden has requested specifically to be delivered to his desk. just be signed into law to night. notably, this is a bill that has some republican support even, and has already cleared the senate. all right, i'm sure we'll be checking back in with you in the vote happens for now. thank you for that. how did your castro a court has been hearing opening statements in the trial of 3 white men, accused of murdering an unarmed black man in the us s

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

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

it, the sweeping climate and social programs bill. the concerns progressives have had is if you decouple those two bills and pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill and the other one -- then the other one will not pass. one of the challenges has been these two wings of the party, moderates with their concerns, who have been taught a real lesson with tuesday's results, concerned about big spending, concerned about the deficit questions, that we don't have the former cedia score, they've raised concerns -- cbo scores, they've raised concerns. they are holding off because they've demanded these two bills be together the whole way. here in this 11th hour, decoupling them sort of changes their strategy. can they go forward? this is such a test. the house is due to be out. when you look at the available calendar left for actual legislating, it is dwindling. this is really the time to get something done and it appears the president is finally using the "i need you to vote" card, which he has not done until this point, which is very notable.

in and pass a bill. the federal government does not have the power or the right to institute, a gun registry on its own. that's why h r 127, which was cleaned by the crazy woman from texas, and there was a cowboy hat. sheila jackson, lee, h r 127 was put in again this year to create a gun registry. so the federal government, on its own, through executive power has absolutely no business creating a gun registry, whether they're doing it on the slide or they're doing it intentionally. and in our face, well, considering we have seen this rash and uptake over the past the years. i've gone by, especially in schools. you know, they are powerful weapons. we all have to respect to that. what is the danger? what are, what are gun rights advocates fearful of having a list of who has what i mean? do you not trust your government? isn't that the argument you really think the government, whatever, turn on you? yes, of course. of course we would agree think the governor would turn on the government turns on us every s

but the problem with this bill, for me, was that only a small percentage of the bill went to our traditional infrastructure. an outsized portion of the bill went to electric vehicles and other green new deal policies. it was not properly paid for. for instance, the revenue that's coming in from vehicles that are driving on our roads is declining, if you think about vehicles are more fuel efficient than before, and folks are moving to electric vehicles. and so that needs to be fixed. i introduced a bill in congress that would insure, would ask for owners of electric vehicles to pay their fair share for driving on the roads, just as the owner of every other vehicle. something like that should have been included in this bill, and it was not. so the bill wasn't fully paid for. it will increase the debt. there are some good parts of that bill, to your earlier question. but i just couldn't support this massive bill, and i couldn't support the whole package that was tied together here in the house. >> congressman lloyd smucker, our guest. a first timer here on the "washington journal." though in hi

that bill that better bill is past the centipedes. the president biden's legislative agenda passes a divided house of representatives, but now faces the big attest in the summits when the storm is celebrate. after the year long protests forced the government to withdraw its controversial farm laws. the u. k. government designates all of her masses, a terrorist organization, calling it a fundamentally and rapidly anti semitic for. and it's for voluntary boss us is gone quickest in 2nd practice out of the an old old castle room pre behind in little to choose between. well talk arrivals, max for stopping. and louis hamilton. ah, so we're beginning with the crisis on the poland. belarus border, poland is saying, hundreds of refugees and migrants have again tried to cross encouraged by its neighbour while bill roosts in a sign of de escalation. so that it's cleared the makeshift camp and move people to proper shelter from the voltage on a holiday report. after 5 days last in forest along the polish border, syrian, my school has done better

, the more popular bill. what happened last -- not last friday but week before, as the liberals and the moderates in the house sat down, they were in a room until almost midnight on friday and they hashed out a deal where the liberals caved and they said we will take your word, talking to the moderates -- we'll take your word you'll vote for the build back better act if -- and will vote for infrastructure today. just get the ball rolling. get joe biden a win. and -- but when the c.b.o. scores comes in, if it comports with the white house numbers, you'll have to vote for the larger bill. it's a nonbinding agreement. it was funny the liberals had held out for months and months and months opposing the infrastructure bill, not on policy but on process, and then at the last minute they said, well, we'll vote for it with this two -- it was a literally two-sentence statement from the moderates. there has not been a lot of trust between those two camps. suddenly, the liberals said we'll trust you. so that's where we
