, the build back better bill. what's your feeling of the political prognosis there? my understanding is you're essentially waiting on a cpo score and hoping with the president's word backing up the moderates, this thing can at least get through the house? >> well, and that's another important element. obviously president biden and vice president harris have worked tirelessly to get an agreement with our senators, and in the house, we now have an agreement between the moderates and the progressives. why? because the build back better bill is going to cut taxes for the majority of american families with children. it's going to create millions of good-paying union jobs. it's going to address our care economy by providing funding for elder care and home care. and it's going to reduce cost on everything from housing to child care to health care. and i am so confident, and i'm excited, quite frankly, that democrats when we're in the majority, this is what we do. we deliver for the american people. yes, there's more work

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

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

puts $100 bill on the dash board. but ultimately wayne lapierre does it hooraying into going through with the wedding. this is very awkward ceremony where he can't even make eye contact with his bride. there's a reason i tell that anecdote and why it's in "misfire." the reason is that wayne lapierre's character is really behind a lot of the financial and legal problems at the nra is in today. that wayne lapierre is a pushover and powerful people inside the nra have realized over time that if you yell at wayne lapierre enough, if you push him around enough, if you demand things enough you can get millions of dollars in contracts. or other things that you want. >> yeah. and you know, again when i said it's a page turner, stories like that, you're like, wait, what? you keep reading. what is the nra response been to your book? >> well, you know, we reached out for comment and i've asked, of course, to interview wayne lapierre and susan lapierre and also provided a long list of questions related to my reporting. but i have

to humiliate bill. and, long before she pulled the trigger to kill him, to make sure that family, friends, colleagues, the police would point the finger of blame at the woman with whom he'd had his fling, barbara miller. >> have you ever seen a murder case in which so many people close to the victim were pointing at the wrong suspect? >> that was one of the unique things about this case was the success anne had at diverting attention to a very specific person. >> a level of deviousness that's just hard to get your head around. >> it was the product of some detailed planning before the crime. >> reporter: but, as so often happens with would-be diabolical killers, there were mistakes. when detectives visited anne's office at the long term care facility and took a little dive into her computer, they uncovered what looked like research into something uncaring. >> the internet search histories included things like how to poison people. how to murder somebody. >> reporter: those hang up phone calls? bill thou

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

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 -- this bill is -- this bill is monumental. it's historic, it's transformative, it's bigger than anything we've ever done. we had so much agreement within the bill. should there be some disagreement and by and large, we had the bill scrubbed, so we are technically eligible for the 51 vote in the senate. that's what that was about. and whatever comes out of the senate, we'll be working together with them so that we have agreement when it comes back to the house. i have absolutely no doubt. the biggest hurdle was to get the bill there. the biggest challenge was to meet the vision of president biden. does anybody have anything they want to say on -- i don't know if you want to talk about being in the chair all night or whatever. one more question. yes, ma'am. >> this bill, many of your colleagues in the democratic party are counting on it to run on it, given its contents, as far as you are concerned, upon passage, will you talk about whether or not you're going to run for re-election upon -- >> i'm telling you, this is an importan

so, you know, this is not a big progressive bill. this is very much a bipartisan bill. but, you know, the republican leadership in the house, they really pressured their members not to give democrats any votes. they wanted democrats to keep fighting amongst themselves and have to pull this off on their own or fail on their own. and so i think there is some angst. certainly we've seen some members express real anger at the member who did support this bill. >>> next, to the burbs and beyond. why some political experts argue democrats need to rethink their ground game in rural america, especially after tuesday's election in virginia. >>> plus the onslaught of attacks against republicans by republicans for supporting the president's infrastructure bill. what message does that send to gop voters? >>> and breaking news in houston. a lawsuit now filed against travis scott and others after eight were killed in the crowd. we're going to explain. >>> and later, fearmongering ensues now that kids can get the covid vaccine. dr. kavita patel helps separate fact from fiction for pare

take the infrastructure bill, for example. the investments in the once in a generation legislation will have a transformative impact on local communities while addressing structural racism inherent in the majority of past government policies. here's a headline from the shreveport times of louisiana. state to get $7 billion so far from the biden bill. infrastructure passage is, quote, a major victory for louisiana. and in the "miami herald," billions of dollars coming to florida when biden's infrastructure bill is law. and one more. the texas to get $35.5 billion over five years from the biden infrastructure bill. all-around good news for all americans, even the red states. it doesn't matter that all but 13 republican members of the house voted against infrastructure bill, their states and constituents will still reap the benefits and i bet those republicans will still show up to ribbon cutting and tout the investments made by a bill they didn't support. you won't hear them complaining about wokeness. woke is not a detriment to

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

this bill is going to be the biggest cost kufgt cutting bill in this country. it will go at costs that are persistent problems for american people in their lives. >>> meanwhile, a brand-new report sheds light on president biden's political future. president biden and members of his inner circle have reassured allies in recent days that he plans to run for reelection in 2024. however, interviews with 28 strategists and officials show the assurances have not stopped the internal debate on whether biden will appear on the ticket. >>> tomorrow marks the deadline for a requirement for all tsa employees to be vaccinated against covid, at the start of a busy travel holiday people. today transportation secretary pete buttigieg alleviating concerns that this deadline will impact americans traveling for thanksgiving this week. >> i have seen no indication that vaccine requirements are going to impact travel in any way, certainly in terms of our ability as a federal administration to provide the services that are needed. i can tell you, my agency, we see numbers approachi

before you even vote on the bipartisan bill? >> listen, i've already voted on the bipartisan bill. i got 69 votes. it is enormously popular all across the country and takes on not just roads and bridges but takes on resiliency, something i know the president is going to be talking about in glasgow. it takes on $85 billion on moving toward cleaner energy, not as much as it will do in the reconciliation bill. i think the sooner we can get that bill voted on the better. i think both manchin and sinema, they have been obviously intimately involved in the contours of this now bill which is around 7.5 billion. and i think we'll get that done as well. >> how soon do you think you'll vote on the infrastructure bill? progressive jayapal thinks this will be ready in the next couple days, or is that overoptimistic to think it will happen this week? >> the house operates on a different schedule than the senate. i'm not going to predict the house, but if they can put a couple wins on the board this week, all better for all concerned. the bip

we need to pass this bill. >> yeah, it is overwhelmingly popular in america, the provisions of the bill. congressman, don't go anywhere. after a quick break, i want to talk about an issue extremely important to both of us, transgender rights, safety and equality. >> for the rest of you, if you don't like your congressional district, no problem. lines are being redrawn all over the nation and republicans are using this redistricting frenzy to gain the upper hand. and then barely two days after kyle rittenhouse walked free far right republicans are trying to profit from it, even rittenhouse's defense lawyer is calling it disgusting and with midterms under a year away, both sides of the aisle are getting ready and whether democrats learn from past congressional losses. we'll get real talk from two lawmakers that lost their house seats in 2020. lawmakers that lost their house seats in 2020. wealth plan across your full financial picture. a plan with tax-smart investing strategies designed to help you keep more of what you earn. this is the planning effect. ♪ limu emu... & doug ♪ ♪ sup

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

be in this bill. do you believe the president can convince him otherwise and what's your message to senator manchin and why it deserves to be in this bill? >> well, i don't make 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 the affordable care act to expand to include those who are left out, especially seniors who depend on that for long-term care. home health care and the rest. some of the stuff in green, we're not finished with that yet, but we've had some areas of agreement there. the fact is there's one difference between a -- the -- some of these issues, like hearing. he's not for hearing in the bill. hearing has a very broad universal support in our caucus. 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 these, we hope, will see the light of day. we can afford it. it's universal. i

thankfully still with us, robert gibbs, and bill crystal. bill, a question for you. last night's results make it results as a harder or easier to pass all or part of the biden's agenda? do you agree with the jeff green field argument that democrats could misplayed this and go to the nice people living in the hauler and say we are putting modems on hold, thanks to this bill you are going to get rural wi-fi service and then get beaten on trans bathroom and crtc? >> i am a little skeptical at the cultural war and republicans like to think, there is not that much in the board of education around the country but the republican governor -- into north carolina couple of years ago, i'm not sure that youngkin talked about that but they sort of covered in a matter business background and i think that sort of were more happy about well-rounded in public school that it will be open quickly enough perhaps as the bureaucracy running things the better to vote -- the less that they would -- maybe resonate a little bit. so, i am not so scared -- they the cultural war of the democrats

this bill is monumental. it's historic, it's transformative, it's bigger than anything we've ever done. >> democrats celebrating the house passing the presidents build back better bill. but that's about the extent of it, because passing the house was the easy part. new york times points like this. the bill still has a long and difficult road ahead. democratic leaders must coax it through the 50/50 senate, and navigate a tortuous budget process that is almost certain to reshape the measure, forced back to the house, if it pass it at all. back with us, tonight, donna edwards, former democratic member of, congress now washington post analysts, bill kristol, but i deterrent large over at the bulwark. good evening and welcome to both of our friends. donna, i'd like to start with you, is a little too soon to start celebrating build back better? >> well, i don't think it's too soon at all, i think it was quite a monumental task to get it through the house, and negotiated. i also think there are a number of provision

so what's been your pitch for this bill to your party? >> well, so far this is a bill, the state's reform act that brings together elements from previous pieces of legislation filed by republicans but also democrats. i believe no matter party or political affiliation, there's something in here for everyone. and there are a number of republicans. we have five original co-sponsors and we're going to get a few more. this will be a bipartisan piece of legislation. the number one thing i want folks to know is this is a turn-key federal tax and regulate policy and bill that would allow if you're legal, whatever level you're legal in your state, you stay that way. florida has medical, the bill recognizes every state is different. it would allow the federal government to tax it, regulate, get out of the way and let states do what they're already doing. there are only three states in the nation that have no type of cannabis reform, and it's past time that federal law catches up to what's already legal in 47 of 50 states. >> there's a chairman ther

bill that will hurt us. for the sake of the country, ours is the house to vote and pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill. holding this bill hostage is not going to work, and getting my support for the reconciliation bill. >> president biden pledged to pass his build back better agenda during a speech at the united nations climate change conference. the spending bill includes a huge investment in clean energy and the president is insisting he'll get it done. >> this is a chance in my view to make a generational investment in our economic resilience and in our workers and communities throughout the world. that's what we're going to do in the united states. my build back better framework will make historic investments in clean energy. the most significant investment to deal with the climate crisis that any advanced nation has made ever will demonstrate to the world the united states is not only back at the table but hopefully leading by the power of our example. i know it hasn't been the case, and that's why

it's harder to make policy in a reconciliation bill. that was also a constraint that was making it difficult, but look, just like infrastructure was long overdue, who is comprehensive immigration reform. and my hope is that the success we have in moving these two really significant pieces of legislation forward will open the door for us to deal with voting rights, immigration, so many of the other aspects of our work that continue to sit in the unfinished business pile. we've really got to get this done. >> and it's important to recognize, and i've done that every now and then, that the last really comprehensive immigration reform that we saw in this country was in 1986. i mean, how much does one have to wait for issues to be dealt with? congressman, are you hopeful that could be included and it would hold? >> i'm hopeful so long as democrats hold together and we try to attract the handful of republicans that will work with us. it used to be that immigration reform was a bipartisan effort. back in 2013, you know, we had in the senate, a

these bills, in fact, are the two bills weir talking about, build back better bill which we'll be working on now and this bill are all designed to gifford near people a fighting chance to begin and not punish everybody. it's never been a good bet to bet against the american people. what it 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 and 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 giving them a full chance this time and when we do, there will be no stopping us. i truly believe that 50 years from now folks will look back and say this was the moment, this was the period and this year and the next couple of years when america decided to win the competition of the 21st century to get in the game full bore. so my message to the american people is let's get to

the first bill that passed and whatever comes out of the second bill when it passes, largely because they have seen polling, brian, that shows that americans do not appreciate or feel or remember what they got out of the $1.9 trillion american rescue plan that was passed in the winter, early spring, and that is a huge alarm bell for democrats. that in the height of this before we were vaccinated, americans did not really appreciate and then remember their $1,400 checks and everything else that came out of that. so that is a warning sign for the build back better agenda when they pass it. they better really tell people what's in it because a lot of the money in that bill won't even be spent and felt anyway until '23, '24. the messaging will be critical when looking at the midterm elections next year. >> critically for us both of these guests will stay with us while i fit in a break. coming up, what's at stake for this white house as they prepare to sell all of this to the american people when we come back. to the american people when we come back feel stuck with student loan debt? mov

it was probably in the bill. the second part, the build back better act that's more of a human infrastructure, so these are things like child care, and paid family leave, things related to climate change. just after midnight last night a rule was passed by the house of representatives on that so what does that mean? it's just procedural to allow the vote to happen. but a full vote has not happened in the house or senate on that human infrastructure part of it. but it is a step, it is a baby step here, and every step matters in this process. representative jayapal had this to say last night. >> hey, everybody, so tonight we have reached a really important deal for the country. and that is that we will move the bipartisan infrastructure bill forward and in just two weeks that bill will also pass the house with the commitment of our colleagues, the reality is, this is too important for the country. we need to get both bills done. >> reporter: now, while congress is pushing for that november 15th date to have this vo

but we're going to pass the bill. the senate is going to pass the bill. s.a.l.t. is a little bit of an issue. you know, parental leave, family leave is a little bit of an issue, but there's a lot of room there for compromise. and i think we're going to work it out. >> well, i love the energy and the clear pride that you take relative to the housing component of this bill. and you're right. i know your community. i'm from los angeles. and i think housing will be very much boosted and enhanced there. let's hope that all sticks in completely. is there anything, though, you're worried about being taken out and you think, that can't happen? >> well, this bill is about the family. it is about early childhood education. it is about child care. and we have so many women who are out of the workforce who have left the workforce because of the pandemic, and they need the child care to get back in. so i certainly don't want paid leave to be taken out. an expansion of the state and local tax reduction from $10,000 to $80,000. i think that's very important to states like califo

will that bill and the crucial build back better bill finally make it across the finish line this week? joe biden's agenda depends on it. >>> good evening. ever since i joined msnbc i have been talking about the f word. facism. every time i do someone somewhere has accused me of exaggeration, hyperbole, tried to tell me that is not really where america is or even close to. well, tonight i'm here to report that we are at the book banning stage of american authoritarianism. are you still not worried? republican lawmakers in texas led by this guy matt krauss have launched an investigation into school libraries to see if they are carrying books on certain subjects. a list that includes more than 850 books and critics say targets books about women, people of color, and lgbtq people specifically. it is shameful. it's shocking. and what else is shocking is representative krauss is refusing to provide any specifics about his probe claiming it would compromise the integrity of the potential investigation. what might he investigate? thoroughly educating the children of texas? i'd call this a wit

when they pass the next bill, the build back better bill, what is left of that for joe manchin to screw up? >> well, he'll certainly have changes. we've been talking to him about this for the last few weeks. there are many democrats here who feel that that will screw it up but that the larger pieces of it are still transformative in nature. the thing that i think is really important here is paid leave, specifically, advocates here held a vigil for it last week when they thought that it was actually going to be out of the bill. the next day they found out house speaker nancy pelosi managed to shoehorn it back into the house version. i ran over to senator joe manchin's office at that point, told him those changes were being made and told me it's still very challenging for him to support this in part because he doesn't think that it abides by the rules of the reconciliation process, apologies for using that forbidden word but he thinks they should be dong in a bipartisan fashion as a stand-alone bill outside of this social spending package. i think really where the breakdown will come or c

the infrastructure bill came to us in a bipartisan way also. we do work together more than people think. >> congressman, on that note, what do you want voters to take away from this. democrats got a lot of heat for the way the sausage was made. it was a necessary and transparent process, but, really, the republicans were, by and large, not involved. when voters are thinking about the midterms and what party they want to have control of next year, what do you hope they take away from this process? >> i hope they take away that we give room for people to disagree, but, also, all of us come together at the end to get things done. again, we're all democrats, but we don't have to agree always. the bottom line is we're getting things done. people will have resources in their district, more health care, child care, roads, bridges, broadband. that's the bottom line. i think the public will be happy with that. >> will you make your november 15th deadline? >> i'm an optimist, so i say we will. congresswoman, get some sleep, get a nap in, thank you for be

the buck stops where with the implementation of this bill? >> well, obviously i take very seriously the responsibilities that we have for everything that flows through the department of transportation. that's over $280 billion of new funding in addition to the baseline funding that was in the bill that we were planning on the whole time. and can i tell you that everyone in my organization feels the same way. we know that we have a responsibility to be creative, to be smart, to be entrepreneurial, but also to be careful, cautious, and accountable if these dollars. of course, the work we do reflects on the administration as a whole which is why i'm so glad my friend, the new orleans mayor, the president to the conference of mayors when i was relatively new to the job. his role at the white house, looking across different departments. my department, the department of energy, epa, just to name a few are part of the task force, making sure the big picture looks good even as we're going into our respective individual areas of responsibility. partne

he hailed the passage of the infrastructure bill. i mean, it is a huge achievement, but the build back better bill simply got that rule vote and your progressive caucus had wanted a vote on both bills at the same time. so how did the equation change? >> yes, alex, it's great to see you, my friend. always good to be on with you. look, we have been committed to how we get both bills through, and i would just remind everybody that four weeks ago we had nothing on build back better. we had an infrastructure bill, but we had nothing on build back better. we didn't have a framework. we didn't have legislative text. we certainly didn't have a vote on the floor. we didn't have any agreement that it was actually going to pass, and what we were able to get last night is to the place where we were able to pass the infrastructure bill, get a firm commitment from all six moderates that they would vote for the rule, and you know, they were not wanting to vote for the bill at the time. they would vote for the rule, and that in ten days that they wo

your rewards. >>> this bill is monumental. it's historic. it's transformative, it's bigger than anything we've ever done. >> democrats celebrating the house passing the president's build back better bill, but that's about the extent of it because passing the house was the easy part, "the new york times" puts it like this, quote, the bill still has a long and difficult road ahead. democratic leaders must coax it through the 50/50 senate and navigate a tortuous budget process that is almost certain to reshape the measure, force it back to the house, if it passes at all. back with us tonight, donna edwards, former democratic member of congress, now a "washington post" columnist and bill kristol of the reagan and bush administration, editor at large over at the bulwark. good evening and welcome. donna, is it a little too soon to celebrate build back better? >> well, i don't think it's too soon at all. i think it was quite a monumental task to get it through the house and negotiate it and i also think there are a number of provisions that are in

did they wait too long on the infrastructure bill? are they being realistic with which parts of the build back better can and can't pass through congress? where the president and his party go from here is where we're beginning the show today. josh isle toing the president ahead of his infrastructure speech in woodstock, new hampshire. also with us, kelly o'donnell and garrett haake. josh, we've seen this is the -- i guess stop two if you count the baltimore stop, but it's certain will i the first stop after the official signing. is this going to be at least a weekly thing where we see joe biden on the road selling? i know that they're going to send around cabinet secretaries, and that might get some decent local news coverage, but you and i both know there's a lot more of a footprint that comes with coverage when a president shows up. is this the first of what will be almost weekly events for him? >> reporter: it is, chuck, and the white house very much knows that where president biden goes cameras follow and that they can use that to

and to quote bill, it is sick. it is good to be back here with you, bill, brian, b-team back together. i love this reunion. i'm not surprised. i feel like a parent that's no longer angry with certain parts of the gop, i'm just disappointed but definitely not surprised that this part of a party that co-signed insurrection doesn't want to invest in america because it would actually move people forward. it would solve some of the problems, and these are not folks who are interested in solving problems, even for some of their constituents. you could get to your trump rally more easily on roads and bridges that don't collapse. you could spread your online anti-american creed more easily on broadband that actually works. there's literally something in this for everyone, even people i strongly disagree with. so disappointed. not surprised. and i'm really sad to see the turn and, again, endorsement of language even leading to political violence. we've seen enough of that already. >> bill, let's wander into a devil's advoca

this bill is going to be the biggest cost-cutting bill for working class and americans families in decades in this country. and it's going to go at costs that are persistent problems for the american people and their lives. >> so you heard brian deese there. it's a bill that costs a lot, but in his view, cuts costs for so many americans. we also heard from transportation secretary pete buttigieg, who's been one of the main messengers for the administration, especially on the infrastructure bill. he was on "meet the press" today and he said that the vast majority of this legislation is cooked, as he put it. maybe a good analogy for this thanksgiving week. but there are some outstanding differences, but as buttigieg said, he's confident that the president will be able to iron them out, as well. >> on the heels of that, my friend, i'll wish you a happy thanksgiving. thank you so much, mike memoli. good to see you, as always. joining me now is michigan congresswoman, debbie dingell, co-chair of the house democratic policy and communications committee, and a frequent guest with us. so we're hap

now it's a moot point, they have to vote for build back better bill when it comes up. they're fighting for child care, pre-k and prescription drug costs being lower. now their message is we must keep for build back better bill package otherwise the infrastructure plan does not matter. >> now with the conservative senators. we are about a week from election day and we have already one thing when election day ends, we start thinking of the next one. midterms, a year away. what are democrats and republicans taking as a prepare for it. >> democrats are figuring out how not to take the bait from republicans who want to draw them into cultural war issues and take them away from what they want to talk about and what voters care about. republicans are trying to tie vulnerable house democrats to this reconciliation package which has not passed yet to force them to accept every single provision in it or even the more controversial, socialist aspects. talk to us about the calculations democrats are making. there seems to be reluctant from moderates to wrap their arms around it. b

you saw her sign off on a lot as the bill was moving through the house. senator sinema will be interesting. manchin's biggest concern right now articulated as such is basically the economy and his concern this bill is going to worsen inflation and make things harder for some americans who try to help. he is the one with the vote so pivotal and on any of the given issues whether the state and local tax deduction being raised to $80,000 from $10,000 or the immigration provisions or others there are any number of democrats who just haven't raised up a red flag because they've got joe manchin doing it. >> judy, if we are going to try to carry our christmas analogy a little further here, please bear with me. if we talk about joe manchin here does that make him -- he has obviously said he does not support paid family leave. does that make him the grinch in all of this? >> i'm going to go with yes on that. i don't understand if your constituents support this, why do you vote against it? i've never understood that. you are an elected official and represent people

a bill should be bipartisan. he goes out and he negotiates and he talks with the texas democrats when they came to d.c. he talked to all of the folks involved, including the republicans. they still keep blocking it. they hope the frustration will bother him enough to realize that the days of yore when members of congress came together and compromised do not exist and that the republican party, especially because of the big lie can't support voting rights legislation and talk about how elections are being stolen and how people are going to keep voting illegally. whatever donald trump has the party saying. they are hoping that is going to work. it has worked with other moderate democrats who we have seen soften on this. absolutely. president biden himself. he is also someone to soften on the filibuster based on all of the votes. there is something happening. >> it is a great banner for a television show. there is something happening. there is something happening on this. here is the thing. eugene comes to this as a

i've been advocating for us to bring the infrastructure bill for a vote, get that bill signed into law. excited people across the country would be able to see this is what we're doing for the american people as we continue working towards what we are now in, which is the final stages of getting a negotiated plan for the build back better act, which we'll be taking a vote on very soon. >> what's very soon? it's been very soon for a few weeks now. >> i have been wrong every time i've made a guess or estimation on time frames for votes. we will get it done. >> congresswoman abigail spanberger of virginia. >>> meanwhile in d.c., some new clues from speaker pelosi about how quickly that big democratic spending bill could pass. we'll have the very latest. >>> also, it is the decision millions of parents have been waiting for. right now a cdc committee talking about whether to approve the vaccine for children as young as 5. when we could start to see kids getting vaccinated. and we'll be tracking everything you need to know this election day, the key races across the country and how soon we c

and if it's trump's infrastructure bill. and if it's biden's, even if 40% of republicans voted for, you are trader as they say. it's the word they use. and if you vote for. so it's a very sick politics i'm afraid. >> bear today, it's a rare member of a house of representatives, where you know by his sights their siblings because they come on television so much, to say how much their brother is an equipped to be a member of congress. such as the case with paul gosar. let me get this straight. they may penalize republicans in the house, who voted to bring infrastructure spending back home to their districts, but any penalty for paul gosar? >> it's sad, it's sick, it's good to be back here with the bill, back together. i love this reunion. and i'm not surprised. i feel like a parent that is no longer angry with certain parts of the gop. i'm just disappointed. but i'm definitely not surprised that this part of a party that cosigned on the insurrection, does not want to invest in america. that would actually move people forward.

bill. the massive social and climate spending package that they have put together. in all indication from my sources up on the hill and those who are following it, suggests that by tomorrow they should have the 218 votes that they need for both those agenda items. what that means is that the house clears it, it goes to the senate where they face a -- wild inch restructure bills going to be passed, but the human infrastructure bill faces and uncertainty face because a lot of components that they need to add into this bill in order to get those 218 votes like, paid medically, for instance. they are not going to get the votes that they need, they may not survive the parliamentarian sufficiency that they can actually apply by reconciliation rules. so it won a major step forward that is likely coming tomorrow, but it is not the end of the road. >> i feared that you are going to say that. hey kimberly atkins stohr, how damning must the documents be over 700 pages of them for donald trump to go to

i'm not saying the bipartisan infrastructure bill won't help, but the bbb is the social spending bill of the two. how convinced are you that it will pass, it will not be summarily dismissed by senators manchin and sinema now that they have what they wanted in the infrastructure bill? they were never big fans of the bbb, and why would you even trust them? >> because it's not about them. it's about the american people. you know, for far too long the focus has been about the personalities in washington, d.c. and not the people and the policy that's going to actually improve their lives. and so overwhelmingly american support providing middle class tax cuts for families with children, in my district that's 92% of children that are receiving benefits from the child tax credit. they overwhelmingly support the paid leave and child care provisions. they overwhelmingly support lowering prescription drug costs for seniors and other consumers in health care and making -- going further on climate provisions including the provisions that we sponsor to make sure that we are tackling the climate cri

it's a victory lap for his infrastructure bill, right when the speed bump, his bigger spending bill, is getting closer and closer. schumer says the goal is a vote by christmas, but that only wants us -- after completing the signing ceremony for the trillion dollar infrastructure bill, mr. biden returns to a much harsher reality. historically low approval ratings, unified republican opposition to the centerpiece of his domestic policy, growing alarm in his party about the prospect of losing control of congress next year and a surprising surge in inflation. put it that way, it sounds serious. back with us tonight, juanita tolliver, veteran political strategist to progressive causes, and amy starter of real clear politics. juanita, how much pressure is on democrats elected members of congress, to pass that second bill? >> let me put it this way. they hear, every time the clock ticks down, they are feeling the weight of time running out on them, especially ahead of the midterms. and they know they have to deliver. i think that what was a helpful indicator about the need to deliver was th

>> three categories of the bill jump out at me. as you indicated we're one of the largest cities in the united states by land mass. street repairs are always a challenge for us. we have a lot of inventory to keep up with. that's 60% of the total bill devoted to roads and bridges is most appealing. secondly we're interested in having a federal partner as we try to expand bus rapid transit. we have an amtrak line that only goes south to ft. worth. we would love to have our line go north and link us to the rest of the amtrak system. we're a bit of a stub right now. amtrak proposes to use this infrastructure package to do just that. it would also improve our passenger rail. >> mayor whaley, let me ask you about amtrak as well. a big reworking of amtrak would connect all the major cities in your state. critics say there are better ways to spend that money in a country that is obsessed with driving, that people are used to getting in their cars and going where they want to go when they want to go. what's your take on amtrak? is this part

it's a aaa bill. it addresses all the things that people are talking about at the kitchen table, and therefore, it's very popular as the components start to get messaged appropriately and people learn more about it. >> yeah. well, those folks in illinois and i've spoken with lawmakers already today from minnesota as well as pennsylvania, they're echoing that same sentiment and the way it is registering with constituents. let's change topics here, sir. >> can i just point out one thing, alex? >> sure, yeah, yeah. >> just the prescription drug provisions alone are so popular, and people don't know about them yet in part because it was a last-minute addition to the bill. last night, i was with a young woman whose sister pays thousands of dollars a year for insulin. she's a type i diabetic. and when i explained to her that under this bill, her sister would pay no more than $35 a month for insulin, she was over the moon. and similarly, people are excited about the other prescription drug provisions as well

the bill added that murkowski said the bill with broader consensus. the bill is expected to fail as senator murkowski, well, she's the only republican expected to vote in favor. >>> jurors in the trial of kyle rittenhouse heard starkly different procedure trails of the 18-year-old in the opening trial yesterday. rittenhouse is charged with killing two men and wounding a third last summer. the associated press reported a kenosha, wisconsin, prosecutor said rittenhouse set the bloodshed in motion when he initiated the confrontation with a man that night and killed him with a gore to the back. but rittenhouse's attorney told the jury that his client acted in self-defense when others clubbed the teen and kicked him in the head with a skateboard. the first is domenic black. he testified to being with the teenager right after the shooting. >> he wasn't really talking. he just said he had to do it. it was self-defense. people were trying to hurt him. >> did he ever say to you that someone was trying to attack him with a gun? >> no. >> did he ever say to you

this is the bill, joy. not the infrastructure bill. this is the bill that delivers on climate. so i think that i do feel very good about where we are. i can't say that that would have been the case six weeks ago. >> yeah. >> had we not held the line but what we got was we did get the infrastructure bill passed and we got the commitment that we would get this vote in the house this week and then it would quickly go to the senate. so, you know, look, i think we have to continue to deliver for people and we're not leaving anybody behind and that's i think that's what the progressive caucus has been able to do. that's what you've been highlighting on your show. these are jobs that are going to women, to folks of color. they are good, people talk about the infrastructure bill as a jobs bill and it is. it creates a lot of good union jobs, so does build back better, in fact, more jobs and more living wage johns for caregivers and people of color, for poor people across this country and really investments in things that will pay off for the long run. >> exactly. you guys have taken car

bill? >> well, president biden has, thank you, mehdi, for having me back. president biden has obviously gone somewhat out on a limb, and i hope it will have the receipts to show that we can all trust him, that joe manchin and kyrsten sinema will vote for the build back better act. i am pretty confident that the president would not have made that assurance to the cpc if he didn't feel pretty certain he could deliver. i think we will get it done. i'm happy about that. >> i mean, as you say, the president knows we don't know. if he doesn't get it done there will be a lot said about what was said in the last 48 hours to get the first bill through. let's talk about the direction of the party. both post the infrastructure bill and the virginia result. both the "new york times" and "the economist" have published recent editorials arguing the democratic party moving too far to left and that position has become almost conventional wisdom if parts of my industry. i wonder though. democrats championin

what specifically is passing this bill right now if this bill gets passed and we'll get that process later. what does it do for your constituents right here right now if this bill becomes law? >> jason, it's hard to describe how happy i am. this is transformative life changing legislation. we are creating millions of good paying jobs every year for the next decade. we are saving the planet from climate catastrophe. we are making child care high quality and affordable for literally every child in america. you already talked about universal prek for 3 and 4-year-olds and making health care affordable by expanding medicare to include hearing. this is beneficial to hundreds of thousands of my constituents. in fact, all of my constituents when you think about climate change and how it impacts everybody on the planet. this is something democrats did by unifying and of course, i got to give house progressives credit through insisting that we pass both the bipartisan infrastructure bill and the larger build back better act we're able to get this done and it goes to the senate where democrats

the biggest infrastructure bill since eisenhower. that's how far you have to go to get to what this president is doing today, formally, under law. it's about a trillion for broadband, roads and more. it's something that president trump talked about, but didn't do it. for the first time, you this now law. >> the bill i'm being to sign into law is despite the cynics, democrats and republicans can come together and deliver results. >> we are here because of the millions of americans who believed that we could get this done. well, we got it done, americans. >>> fact check, true, you're looking at the footage from the big signing ser moyer at the white house, over 800 in attendance. prominent republicans also backing it. senators romney, collins, and some of the house republicans who have been reportedly facing actual death threats for voting for something, as i mentioned, a former republican president claimed to support. this has been a real test of what the right will even allow in this biden era, as he marks a victory today. >> to para

stays in this bill. and that is money that is already targeted for an immigration reform bill, to ensure that funding is there wherever we get this legislation done. it's not just about saying, you know, we're going to get a pathway to citizenship, we're going to get people out of the shadows. it's about putting the money behind that actually gets these applications processed and whether the senate is able to agree or the parliamentarian is able to agree on our plan, a, b, or c, this money will remain there and we will continue to fight to ensure that we expand processes like expired visas. we need to reset the clock on those. we need to ensure that citizenship is affordable and that the people that are ready to become citizens are able to do it and promote those issues. and also, temporary visas for our workers. >> i'm just wondering about the issues of the legalization of the 8 or 11, 12 million people that are here, that have been living here, that have been contributing to this country. many of them
