, and climate bill. the administration hoped to pass this legislation together but the time line for the larger bill slipped last week after moderates in the house demanded more information on the bill's cost. joining me someone deeply involved in the push for the infrastructure bill, energy secretary jennifer granholm. thank you so much for joining me. >> you bet. >> nice to see you in person. >> likewise. zblts >> it's a very large piece of legislation. i want to underline a couple specific parts of it. the president said yesterday that the bill will "reduce supply chains bottlenecks now and for decades to come" and to "ease inflationary pressure." when can american families expect to feel that relief? >> great question. the president is focused in the short term and long-term. in the short term the infl inflationary pressures the price of fuel is high at the top of his list the question is as we move out of covid, creating the supply chain bottlenecks and includes in the fuel sector as well. the energ

want the larger bill, the more controversial spending bill to go first, is that right? >> we just want that bill to be finished and we want to pass both bills through the house because we don't want any more detay on the things that are actually going to effect people's lives and i think this election on tuesday showed us how seriously we have to take these issues, these pocket book issues and the reality is the build back better act is going to reduce costs for poor and working families. it is going to help with universal childcare, universal pre-k, cutting the cost of prescription drugs, cutting the cost of housing and taking on climate change and taking care of immigrants holding up this country. so that is why we're not willing to leave anybody behind and we want to pass both bills together as you know have been our position for months and we are now ready to pass both bills through. >> one of the problems with the bigger bills with underscoring the house speaker nancy pelosi put paid family leave for example back into the larger spending bill. that is something for

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

voted for this bill. and we are here because of the millions of americans who believed that we could get this done. well, we got it done, america. we got it done. in many ways, this day embodies our character as a nation. it demonstrates exactly who we are. we are believers, through and through. we see what can be unburdened by what has been. we are as bold as we are determined to do big things. the infrastructure investment and jobs act proves that. it proves that in america, we have the courage to believe a better future is possible and to build it together. after this bill is signed into law, millions more americans will go to work in good paying, good union jobs. americans, like jovon johnson, a carpenter i met in nevada who said that she has, quote, built her career on infrastructure and fed her family on infrastructure. americans like jeff bird, a line design technician i met with in new hampshire. he attaches fiber to utility poles to keep up with the demand for high-speed internet. or leslie kilgo

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

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

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

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

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

they're doing very large things in the pair of bills that have moved. the infrastructure bill, which has already become law, $1.2 trillion of investment, broadband, roads, bridges. and now the build back better plan, which includes substantial investments to combat climate change, efforts to subsidize health insurance for people, child care, expand universal pre-k. there's money for housing in this bill. there's an extension of child tax credits. there's a whole lot of spending in this bill going to make a significant difference in peoples lives. and these things are not easy to do. that's why they don't get done very often. and so the biden team has got a very good reason to feel good. not to mention the fact that completely unrelated, crude oil prices fell to a six-week low today. so you had a combination of things. the biden white house has been battered by high gas prices. so i think they're feeling like a little bit of tide turning in their direction right now. >> this goes to the senate next where it could hit all kinds of roadblocks. senator joe

we'll be a yes on both bills." she's saying that after joe manchin sort of kicked them all in the teeth. i'm trying to figure out what's going on here, michael. help me understand why they were a no last week before joe manchin got nasty, but now they're a yes. >> what's up is down, and what's down is up. progressives have sided with the president in a way that i don't think many of us actually expected. i think, really, the primary reason is when you look at senator manchin, he represents one of the poorest states in the country, yet he wants to talk about fiscal responsibility without doing any types of taxes that would actually tax the rich, that would help his state, that would help fund things like paid family leave or expanded medicaid, medicare, and it makes no sense. pause because inside his state, so many people would benefit. i think what progressive haves d -- have done is back him into a corner. are you not backing a bill your state overwhelmingly supports? >> i want to take issue with the frame. i don'

there is two bills. two different bills. but basically we have a china compete, you seek a bill, $250 billion for this country to basically get up and compete as we always have, the innovation, the research and development, that's been sitting in the house for quite some time. we passed it with 90 votes. in the senate, democrats and republicans working together. we passed an infrastructure bill which has been over in the house for over i think a couple of months now and it is $1.2 trillion and nothing has been done for deferred maintenance in the country for three -- 30 years, three decades. this is the first time. those would have helped tremendously showing that together we can. now we have a reconciliation bill which is only a partisan bill, by our democratic party, and that's holding up the other bills that were bipartisan. that's the problem we have. and there has to be some good faith and we all work together. if you're wanting someone to agree that i'll sign off on everything you want and it will be the way that it wi

now, both bills, okay, despite joe mansion saying he won't support these social spending bills without greater clarity about it's impact on i'm nflati and the economy. >> for the sake of the country, i urge the house to vote and pass the bipartisan infa st-- infrastructure bill. i for one won't support a multi trillion dollar bill without greater clarity about why congress chooses to ignore the serious effects of inflation and debt that have on our economy and existing government programs. more of the real details outline the frame worker release, i see shell games that make the real cost of the so-called $1.75 trillion bill estimated to be almost twice that amount. if the full time has run out. if you extend it permanently. >> okay. so let's talk about this. a source telling cnn mansion didn't want to get jammed into supporting something he wasn't ready to endorse. another source telling cnn house democratic leaders could move as soon as wednesday night or thursday to put both the social spending and the infrastructure bills on the floor for a final vote. or for final votes. there is

the bill back better bill is passed. >> plus, a routine physical brings a moment for the history box. joe biden gets the first physical of his presidency a day before he turns 79 and while the support under and therebyia, kamala harris is the first woman to assume presidential power, and breaking today, the fda gives a green light to covid boosters for all adults. we begin though with that big win for the president and a vote that brings massive changes to your life, a big step closer to reality. just a short time ago in the house it passed, the build back better act 220-213. no republicans voted yes. one democrat voted no. the nearly $2 trillion bill heads to the senate where it will likely need to be trimmed some to win all 50 democratic votes. yes, that senate debate is dicy and passage is not a sure thing, but today's vote is both a giant win and it is evidence democrats understand they best figure this out. look, republicans are going to call them big spending liberals and socialists in next year's campaign regardless. democrats see their odds much better if they can show that th

whether to vote on the bill? >> no. actually, i'm still looking at everything, absolutely. >> your reaction to that, that the senator is not even ready to say whether he's going to debate. >> there are things we don't agree on, but i do think he's been negotiating with this bill at the white house for five weeks now. i think a vast majority of the bill is preconferenced. it does need a cbo score in order for the senate to debate. that's not terrible what he's saying. i have full confidence that senator manchin is going to support this bill that he has now spent time negotiating, and i think we will get it across the finish line and hopefully to the president's desk in time for christmas, because we really need to make sure people across the country are getting the help that we have promised them on the campaign trail and now in this bill. >> you're confident he will support the bill, even with paid leave, something he said should not be with the bill and the concerns about inflation. what's the basis for your con

be in this bill. do you believe that the president can convince him otherwise? and what's your message to senator manchin on why it deserves to be in this bill? >> well, i don't make it a habit of talking to senator manchin on the tv. we're friends. i respect him. he's a good person. he's agreed to so much that is in the bill, universal pre-k and child care, agreed to affordable care expanded to embrace those left out of the med case, especially our seniors who depend on that for long-term care. he's been supportive of the child tax credit. there are so many things. home health care and the rest. some of the stuff we're not finished with yet, but we have had some areas of agreement there. the fact is there's one difference between some of these issues like hearing, he's not for hearing in the bill. hearing has a very broad universal support. in terms of family medical leave, it's no sacrifice for anybody to vote for something that might not see the light of day. and we hope it will see the light of da

these bills in fact are 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. what that 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 and 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 let their country down. we're about to give 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 compet

after he found this bill. manu raju thanks for that play. let's bring in congressman henry cuellar of texas. last night you expressed concerns of the speaker adding back in paid leave on the build back better bill because of manchin's opposition to it. the speaker moving forward and the vote as soon as tonight and how are you going to vote? >> i certainly want to go ahead and move the ball forward but there was a promise made to us that we wouldn't move the bill without the 50 votes in the senate. that was an agreement made and it's unfortunate, that you know, this is happening right now but i still want to most ball forward. there's still concerns that some of us have, for example, on the methane fee, there are epa regulations that i think can handle that and there's some in zut texas and members of cox and i wish we wouldn't do the ping-pong, senad is going to make the changes. we support build back better but we want to moderate it and not have peel take votes that they don't have to make. >> how do you fee

they appear poised to pass the infrastructure bill. pass the social spending bill. but then, it is going to take another month or so, probably, in the senate because of manchin, because of sinema and other holdouts there. >> what -- go on, sorry. >> so, with biden, yes, i mean, you know, in the white house i think they are coming to an understanding of -- to be harder. to say look, the train is moving -- the train is leaving the station and this stuff needs to start passing right away because they understand that's the only way his approval -- his approval may start to rebound. um, but it's also that on other items, you were just mentioning voting rights, on police reform, on immigration. there are no republican votes to be had. so, part of why democrats can't move there is because there are not ten republicans on that. >> i think -- i think they are realizing tonight like when the president said and others said that votes simply aren't there. do you think democrats are understanding tonight that the votes simply aren't there? >> no, that's bs and let me tell you wh

, the social spending bill. they are asking for explicit language, a written statement. senator bernie sanders saying that over the weekend. secondly, they want both of these bills to be voted in tandem. that is back on the plate here. that was not the case on thursday when house speaker nancy pelosi called for the vote for the infrastructure bill. now, they say they will do that together. check that box. and of course, the most difficult thing for progressive democrats, to let go of some of those policy priority initiatives that were apart of the negotiations and a part of that bill. part of that is going to be regarding family and medical paid leave. whether or not that survives. and also, whether or not medicare will be able to negotiate with drug companies about lowering drug prices. listen to senator bernie sanders. >> i worked yesterday, we are working today, we are going to work tomorrow to strengthen that bill. it is outrageous that we continue to pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drug

bill clinton used to say that. lincoln saved the union, fdr won the war, joe biden went a long way towards writing his sentence with this piece of legislation. i think the next piece of legislation is going to be more contentious again, obviously, but joe biden got 81 million votes. a lot of these measures on their own are popular and i think the sudden evangelical fervor of the fiscal hawks on the right is pretty rich. when republicans who spend as much money as they spent in the last four, five years say, oh, we suddenly decided we can't spend this much money, reminds me of the great line in tom sawyer when sawyer says, huck finn, a preacher came through town that was so good that even huck finn was saved until tuesday. so these folks are saved until tuesday. but this is broadly popular stuff. some of it will get through. some of it won't. but guess what? you and i are having a coherent conversation about the allocation of public resources for public good. we aren't talking about an insurrection. we aren't talkin

trillion infrastructure bill isn't true infrastructure. if we're going to do infrastructure, let's do infrastructure. truly, for me, this was really hyperpartisan, not a bipartisan bill. >> south carolina is set to get a reported $6 billion to help fix these problems. and then there's kentucky, that is a state that has a c-minus from infrastructurereportcard.org, and home to the brit spence bridge which connects northern kentucky to cincinnati, ohio. past presidents have tried to do something about the gridlock tied to the bridge for years. president obama went there in 2011 when he tried to pitch infrastructure. and earlier this year, at a cnn town hall in cincinnati, president biden brought up that bridge and others like it. >> you take a look at ohio and kentucky combined, there's well over -- there's thousands of bridges that need repair. thousands. thousands of bridges. and we should be looking at it this way. it increases commerce, number one. but guess what, the good paying union jobs. >> but that didn't stop kentucky republican con

there's a gop slogan out there as well, the bill is a monstrosity. this is a slogan republicans are using to attack democrats. but the story is the last republican president promised to pass an infrastructure bill and failed, so now they need the democrats to fail too. stories are complex. stories have historical context. slogans erase all of that. parents' rights is a slogan. you know, it's this catchall term, we heard it constantly ever since the result of the election in virginia. but which parent? whose rights are we talking about? here's another slogan, critical race theory has become a slogan, an actual interesting and academic term has become a slogan, it has become a catchall phrase used to demonize, to weaponize. and, of course, activists who tried to make critical race theory into a national story, into a national slogan, they knew what they were doing. they were trying to create a boogieman, and it worked. stories make you think. slogans make you stop thinking. if i can teach a media literacy lesson in the wake of the elections this week,

their bill is about $1.9 trillion. they do expect to get the moderates in line, they had asked for more official cost estimates from the congressional budget office to explain the full cost to show it is fully paid for as the white house has promised. so assuming that happens and there is an assumption that it will, then it does shift to the senate and all attention is once again on joe manchin. now him and kirstyrsten sinema been seen as the two key hold kout outs but cinema will fall in line. manchin on the other hand is a different story. he still has a number of concerns over the key policies whether it is the environment or dealing with health care, the expansion of medicare and some of the benefits and it is uncertain if he's okay with time frame. they want to get this done before thanksgiving and definitely before christmas. democrats are trying to change their approach. some have gone and berated joey manchin. cori bush said that he essentially has anti-black views, anti-immigrant views by opposing the larger e

they have passed this bill. but why you're seeing people linger around is because there is likely going to be another procedural vote after this. we are also expecting as you guys mentioned to hear from house speaker nancy pelosi on the floor, but also likely after she comes off the floor as well. there she is. >> the ayes are 220. the nays are 213. the build back better bill is passed ! >> interesting. on the left-hand side of the screen, a lot of excitement, you can hear it in the speaker's voice, see it in her face, getting to this moment as we have talked and, jessica, as you pointed out over the last several weeks, was no small feat. this was a very heavy lift. they're going to take this moment, they're going to enjoy this moment. but now in many ways more of the hard work is on the plate right in the senate for democrats as they try to get joe manchin on board, bernie sanders had some issues with it as you pointed out. so walk us through what is next at this point, jessica? >> so at this point everybody is

. >>> we are going to get these bills done. they're great for every zip code in this country. >> a vast majority of americans are not for the second bill. >> after passing the bipartisan infrastructure bill, democrats move full steam ahead on their bold social spending plan. but republicans aren't on board. >> so i didn't give on it. >>> the cowardly missiles and drones do not build our country and our future. >> he is vowing to punish those the possible after a drone attack inside the green zone. >>> americans and canadian citizens finally able to come into the united states for non-essential travel after more than 19 months of restrictions. i'm pamela brown in washington. you are live in the cnn newsroom on this sunday. houston, texas. that is where we begin tonight, on the grounds of the enormous nrg park. right now the scene of a massive police and medical investigation trying to make sense of a shocking, and by all accounts, preventable tragedy. tonight we have confirmed the names of some of the eight people killed and new

he thinks these bills could be passed this week. senator manchin seemed to throw cold water on the timing of that when it comes to the sweeping spending bill that has hundreds of billions of dollars when it comes to climate change. something the president was pushing here at this climate summit. we were told earlier today the president had not yet spoken directly with manchin since he made those comments yesterday though senior white house staff had. we'll see if the president speaks to him on his way back to washington tonight. >> on the climate summit, the president was taking a leadership role here but there are a lot of serious problems, a lot of people are worried about some of the no-shows. >> of course china. one of the world's biggest polluters did not show up to this conference. you were hearing from world leaders, the u.s. president, british prime macinister making these pledges about what their nation is going to do for climate change. yet as president biden was noting, incredibly critical that china was not here saying i

it's a bill about cutting costs. that's what the american people need now and economists across the board will say this will help reduce inflation, address inflation. >> how is the bill going to cut the cost of gasoline? >> one of the things it will do over the long-term is invest in clean energy, make sure we're not relying as much on oil. that's a long-term impact of this package that has an enormous investment in climate and addressing the climate crisis. what we need to do over the short-term on gasoline is a couple of things. one, the president has been clear that we are going to go after price gouging. he's asked the ftc director to look into that. we've seen, while we've seen an increase in oil supply out there, we have not seen a decrease in gas prices. that should not be the case. so that's something they're looking into. and we're going to, we have a range of options at our disposal. we're going to look into every option we can to lower the price of gas for the american people, but this is a bill that's goi

into law, he then needs to get his social safety net bill passed. but this process has exposed deep divisions within his own democratic party. what damage has already been done to the political fortunes of the democrats in the 2022 midterms, do you think? or could they turn this around before that critical vote if that second bill gets passed and the pandemic ends? >> well, you know, there is an old saying winning solves everything. um, but does it? and does it last? you can't paper over some of the deep fault lines in the democratic party between the moderates, on the one hand, and the progressives. they were openly fighting and there is the threat of open warfare. and they came together and the question is can biden get the two sides to pull their ores in the same direction? that is the bigger battle he has working with or against the republicans. now, in the big spending bill he just got passed, he did get a few republican votes. he will get -- he will have a tougher time with the next go-around with the social spending but, you know, public figh

much bigger bill. so, where does he stand on the massive spending legislation? >>> plus, virginia voters just hours from heading to the polls in the state's crucial governor's race. huge national implications from this. and right now, both candidates on the trail making their final push this hour at dueling rallies. >>> and the lawyer for the assistant director who reportedly handed the gun to alec baldwin before the movie set shooting, speaking out for the first time and the sheriff

three people could stop the bill. so they have to be listened to. . >> it is not that no one gets run over. it is that everyone gets run over. but, look, this appears to be a big tay. you believe there is going to be the votes to pass this today. >> right. let me tell you, we're on the cusp of doing something amazing and transformative for america with these bills. we have the bipartisan infrastructure bill which does so much. $66 billion for increasing rail travel in this country. the roads, the bridges, the water systems, the sewer systems that haven't been in vested in in the time i've been in congress, nine years. and much longer. we heard about infrastructure week after infrastructure week in the last administration. democrats are delivering now. we're not just delivering the hard infrastructure, we're delivering broadband internet for every place in america. it is like the rural electrification act from 80 years ago. we're going the get this done. and the build back better act is amazing. it just got scored by m

the bill was released on thursday. we spent the whole weekend, our membe members did, reading through the entirety of the text. there are some changes, but we need to get it done and vote both bills out and that's what we're going to do. >> are there going to be benefits for -- >> i think i know the answer to that, but i'm not sure so i want to make sure everything is changing by the minute so maybe we'll get that information when i go in there. but i think you know, obviously immigration is another one of our priorities, our five priorities that we've been pushing very hard on. you know how important it is to me personally. something that i've spent my life working on as an immigrant myself. so i'm hoping for the most that we can possibly get. >> what do you plan to do during the recess? what are you expecting to hear from your voters about the agenda about these bills? >> i'm going to sleep. no, look, i'm going to be out every minute i can talking to people about what we're going to deliver because i think that's wha

now, both bills. okay? despite joe manchin saying he won't support the social spending bill without what he called greater clarity about its impact on inflation and the economy. >> for the sake of the country the house to vote and pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill. holding this bill hostage is not going to work and getting my support for reconciliation bill. i for one won't support a multitrillion-dollar bill without greater clarity about why congress chooses to ignore the serious effects of inflation and debt they have on our economy and existing government programs. what i see are shell games, budget gimmicks that make the real cost of the so-called $1.75 trillion bill estimated to be almost twice that amount if the full time is run out. if you extended it permanently. >> okay. so let's talk about this. a source telling cnn that manchin didn't want to get jammed into supporting something he wasn't ready to endorse. another source telling cnn that house democratic leaders could move as soon as wednes

that's the bill that contains the 87,000 irs agents. that's the bill that contains the amnesty provisions and handout to those in the country illegally. that is the one people are mostly upset and angry about. and i think people have to differentiate these are two different bills. and i think actually by passing this bipartisan infrastructure pill that we've actually undermined alexandria ocasio-cortez and the socialist wing of the democratic party from being able to hold infrastructure hostage. and now they have lost their leverage. and i think that's an important thing to say. at the end of the day, i think it was those of us who were willing to pass this that did the what's in the best interest of america. . >> appreciate seeing you this morning. please come back on "new day". >> thank you. >>> so how could the infrastructure bill help relieve supply chain shortages? the white house joins us live in just a few minutes. >>> why ted cruz and other republicans are trolling big bird. >> and a juror kicked off a jury who told a joke about

holding this bill hostage is not going to work in getting my support for the reconciliation bill. >> joining me right now, democratic congresswoman from california sara jacob, a member of the progressive caucus. thanks for coming in. what did you hear in the caucus meeting this morning? what's the plan? what did the speaker lay out? >> you know, i think house democrats are feeling very optimistic. we are all eager to get both bills passed as soon as possible, and i think we're close to doing that and getting both bills passed through the house. >> do you expect votes this week? >> i believe so, yes. >> joe manchin is very much still in the place he's been, congresswoman, which is he wants more time to negotiate the bigger bill. he's made that very clear. the head of the progressive caucus said today she trusts that president biden will be able to deliver the votes in the senate on this bigger spending bill, including joe manchin. do you trust the president is going to be able to do that? >> i do. i trust president biden when he says he'll be able to deliver the votes in the senate. i

bill. he did not say why he thinks that. they are two people who have talked about length throughout these negotiations. we did learn today that white house senior staff, the presid president's top aides have been in touch with senator manchin since he gave that press conference. the president himself has not specifically spoken to him. that's something that's likely going to happen when he leaves the press conference, gets on air force one and goes back to washington. democrats are counting on president biden getting senator manchin on board with this. that's what you heard from progressives, when they said they were sticking with the plan and moving ahead. that was notable, he believes senator manchin is there. another thing the president said about the race coming up in just a few hours with voters, they have been going to the polls all day long, the virginia governor's race. the president is confident terry mcauliffe is going to pull it off. we have heard from democrats, a lot of modera

they're doing very large things in the pair of bills that have moved. the infrastructure bill, which has already become law, $1.2 trillion of investment, broadband, roads, bridges. and now the build back better plan, which includes substantial investments to combat climate change, efforts to subsidize health insurance for people, child care, expand universal pre-k. there's money for housing in this bill. there's an extension of child tax credits. there's a whole lot of spending in this bill that's going to make a significant difference in people's lives, and these things are not easy to do. that's why they don't get done very often. so the biden team has got a very good reason to feel good, not to mention the fact that completely unrelated, crude oil prices fell to a six-week low today. so you had a combination of things. the biden white house has been battered by high gas prices. so i think they're feeling like a little bit of tide turning in their direction right now. >> this goes to the senate next, where it could hit all kinds of roadblocks. senator

they didn't even know they were in the bills or they thought the bills might hurt them and i think that's what we have got to figure out. the -- the government has to figure out how to educate people to what these bills are, what's in them, how it will change their lives. maybe, once they get passed, they will see it but right now, somehow that was a failure. there is no question about that. old harry truman said the buck stops here and i understand president biden saying that there were many complications of what was going on in virginia and it may not have had to do with the passage of these bills, which would have helped ahead of time. but in the end, he is the head of the republican -- he is the head of the -- he is the head of the democratic party and there is a sense of responsibility and i think he took it but you got to take it directly. harry truman is probably the best. just start with the buck stops here, and then you can give excuses as to why it's not really there. >> if they would have passed that $1.2 trillion infrastructure package, roads, bridges, airports, people underst

listen to this. >> for the sake of the scountry the bipartisan infrastructure bill, holding this bill hostage is not going to work, and getting my support for the reconciliation bill. i, for one, won't support a multitrillion dollar bill without greater clarity about why congress chooses to ignore the serious effects of inflation. and debt they have on our economy and existing government programs. >> our chief white house correspondent kaitlan collins is here in scotland with us, wo watching this unfold. a major disappointment for the biden folks here in scotland. they're happy, it looks like the bipartisan infrastructure will go forward, it passed the senate. but the bigger legislation on the social safety net and all of that, including climate money, it looks like that's in deep trouble. >> i don't think the white house really appreciated the timing of this. it does come as the president is here at this global climate summit trying to convince world leaders that the united states is serious about climate change. of course, this very package that president biden has proposed and what

it in the stand alone bill. what about that option? >> well, look, we'll consider everything we can to get this done because let's just remember this. america is one of six countries in the world that does not offer paid family leave. it is absolutely crazy when you think about the fact that we are so behind the rest of the world and i think there are so many families across the country that are waiting for this to be delivered. so i am hoping that there are you know, some of our persuasive colleagues over there who can convince senator manchin this is the thing to do. if for some reason, it does not make it into the package and i absolutely hope it does, we're going to do everything we can to get there, then we still have to work to get it across the finish line. it's outrageous to me that the united states, the wealthiest country in the world, can be one of only six that doesn't provide paid family leave. >> and how long do you think it would take, congresswoman, for americans to feel the effects of the build

we didn't get those last two bills done, the build back better act and the infrastructure bill. we should have gotten it done by now, we haven't and that's on us. i do tend to agree with president biden. i don't think it would have changed the result in virginia, but we came close to losing in new jersey. thank goodness we didn't, and could have been decisive there. that's on us. we need to get it done, and when we do and i'm confident we will, it will give us something really powerful to run on in the midterms. that is we'll help people pay for their prescription drugs. we will help seniors with their hearing issues and we will help with the early childhood education, we will help address climate change, all of which is enormously popular with the american people and will give us the powerful agenda. >> congressman, i think i see the murphy family on stage. i may have to go there -- yeah, his family is speaking so as soon as the family finishes speaking, the governor will come out. let's finish up with the congressman until i see him. with all due respect i've heard that from d

>> i continue to think that he will eventually get to yes on the bill, but as long as the bill has gone on, more and more deals are being made. you are talking about 1.5 to $2 trillion in the package on the move. several weeks ago we talked about how there was money for waste coal, which is the businessman chin is in in the bipartisan infrastructure bill, and he got that. there was recently a toyota investment and he was at the site of a toyota plant talking about how he was going to work on the deals, and all of those things, the bill eventually has to pass. i still think that he's a yes on the bill, but the inflation headlines give him more to reason to talk about delay and during the delay more deals can be paid. >> a couple steps forward yet another step back. earlier this year you wrote a piece for the atlantic, and in it you wrote manchin has skillfully managed his image to stay viable in a state that went from a democratic to republican majority. he has done that by having a keen sense of what issues and bills are popular at any given moment, and of how he can be seen as being on

bill. >> finally, infrastructure week. >> but as moderates hold the line on his social safety net bill, can he deliver that, too? i'll speak with energy secretary jennifer granholm and house moderate democrat josh gottheimer. >>> and new playbook? republicans made gains with voters who backed biden, raising hopes for a house gop takeover next year. >> let's climb that hill together. >> reporter: have republicans found a way to manage the trump factor? gop governor larry hogan joins me in moments. >>> plus, message received. democrats point fingers about their election losses. what lessons should the party learn? >> we must get back on the ground and impact things that are important to people. >> reporter: the mayor-elect of new york city, eric adams, is here, as well as virginia's democratic senator, mark warner. >>> hello, i'm dana bash in washington where the state of our union is feeling some whiplash after a bruising election day for democrats, president biden spent the weekend celebrat

the bill is virtually all paid for. there's a small disagreement of about 5%. >> this says $367 billion that the cbo says it's going to add to the deficit over a decade. >> the cbo said that, but it's over ten years, and it's not counting the money that would come from increased enforcement of tax cheats that the treasury argues would add up to even more than what the -- >> wouldn't it still be a shortfall even with that? >> no, i think it wouldn't be a shortfall. if the treasury were right, then it would actually raise revenue. regardless, it's fair to have an honest debate over, is it 4% not paid for? is it 1% not paid for? the fact is the overall impact of a bill that's spread over ten years in the next 6 to 15 months is extremely modest, and all the rating agencies, the economists that have looked at it say we should have a debate about build back better on the merits of build back better. it's not going to have a big impact on inflation one way or the other way. >> so all this hyperventilating is -- >> i think it's

but six democrats did not support the bill. they include congressman gentjamall bowman, corey bush, congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez, ilhan omar, ayanna pressley, and rashida tlaib. those are members that really stuck to their guns. so, here is what's actually included in this infrastructure package. $110 billion for roads and bridges, $65 billion for broadband, $39 billion for public transit and billions more in infrastructure investments. progressive chair pramila jayapal, listen to what the congresswoman had to say during the time of the vote. >> we feel really proud of what we were able to get and how far we've come in just four weeks because we held the line over and over again. we also made the determination that the country needs to continue to move forward. so, we feel like we got the best of all worlds. we got a commitment on this vote, which -- and every single one of those individuals looked us in the eyes and said, they are voting for it. and so, you know, look, we got -- we've got to move things forward. i'll

we are also going to get immigration in this bill, something on immigration in this bill. very very important to us as a progressive caucus, and we will fight for that, and we will get those done, and i believe that the president is speaking out of the experience that he has had of negotiating and the conversations he's had with these senators. so i trust the president, he's going to deliver 51 votes, and i think we need to bring the temperature down a little bit. we intend to pass both bills through the house in the next couple of days, and we are really looking forward to allowing the american people to see how we fought for them and delivered so their lives could be better. >> you're going to vote for these two bills no matter what? >> as i said, we're finalizing the pieces on immigration, on prescription drug pricing and on the details of child care implementation but as soon as those get finalized, yes i believe, we'll have the votes to pass both the infrastructure bill and the build back better act through the house. >> congresswoman pramila jayapal, thank you. >> th

congress passed that landmark $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill on friday. the legislative victory wouldn't have been possible without the support of 13 house republicans. you see them on your screen. >> manu raju joins us from capitol hill. so part of that agreement was setting the rules at least for passing the second part of president biden's economic ag agenda. at risk of people going nuts hearing another time line, what is the most likely time line as we go forward? >> reporter: i tell you, it's still up in the air about whether they can get this passed and what form it will take and when exactly that will happen. now, there is one initial deadline that could certainly be blown, november 15. that is the big next time that both sides agreed to move forward on the larger social safety net package, roughly $1.9 trillion bill that is now awaiting action in the house. but there's a major caveat. that is the congressional budget office. they are the nonpartisan scorekeepers. there was an estimate from the office about exactly how much that costs. now, the mod
