bill is back at his post today. bill, good morning. >> bill, good morning to you. that's right. we're embedded with texas dps on one of the gun boats on the rio grande in mission, texas, one of the hot spots. what they're looking for is any kind of illegal activity they can find whether it's humans coming across the river, drugs coming across the river. this is one of the biggest hot spots they can find. a lot of the activity happening in between the ports of entry. everything has to come across this river. a lot of it happening on rafts. you can see from our drone and all the multiple cameras they have they're heavily armed looking for whatever they can find out here when it comes to drug and human trafficking. one of the biggest things they look for is fentanyl and drugs. look at this graphic here. just in 2021, the state of texas has seized 413 pounds of tent nall. -- fentanyl. enough lethal doses to kill 93.7 million. one kilo of fentanyl is enough to kill 500,000 people. fentanyl continues to pour in and texas dps is trying to find as much as they can and busy looking for h

bill: all right now on "fox news sunday". ♪. bill: hello again and welcome. the concept of infrastructure has been a running joke in washington for some time now. the party inciting has repeatedly tanked paying bills. while the joke is over, the house can help the 13 republicans get mr. biden a big win. all of this coming on the heels of devastating losses for democrats in tuesday's elections. in a moment will speak live with richmond. but we want to go to lucas and mahomet beach in delaware. >> president biden is calling this a once in a generation opportunity to fix the aging infrastructure. the bill would not pass without republican support. >> finally infrastructure week. >> the senate and the house have passed the bill but the president has not yet signed into law. >> i want people work so hard to get this done, democrats and republicans to be here when we sign it. >> here's what's in the $2.000000000000 bill. >> 110 for roads, bridges and transportation over project. >> 66 billion for railroads, 65 for access to high-speed internet and $50 billion for d

bill. >> i've been straight forward about my concerns and i will not support a reconciliation package that expands social programs and irresponsibly adds to the $29 trillion in national debt. >> sandra: that was senator joe manchin throwing down the gauntlet yesterday. president biden campaigned as a moderate and uniteer. why can't he get his party on board with his domestic agenda? thousands of members of the air force face a deadline today. get vaccinated or get disciplined. we're live at the pentagon on what it means for our national security next. veteran homeowners. newday usa has dropped their rates again. the newday two and a quarter refi is the lowest rate in their history. two and a quarter percent. just 2.48 apr. these rates could cut thousands off your mortgage payments every year. with their two and a quarter refi, there's no money out of pocket and no upfront fees. newday's holding the line on those low rates so every veteran family can save. you're a one-man stitchwork master.

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

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

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

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

bill. >> bill: thanks. watching that from the hill. white house press secretary jen psaki has tested positive for covid. she is vaccinated experiencing mild symptoms. she last saw president biden on tuesday when they were outside sitting more than six feet apart and wearing masks. the white house said this morning the president tested negative for the virus just yesterday. six past now. >> election day in the governor's race in virginia less than 24 hours away. candidates are making the final push today all over the place. alexandria is following it from richmond today. hi. >> yeah, both candidates are now back in battleground territory. they spent yesterday on opposite sides of the state. youngkin was in the far southwest pocket of virginia where farmers for youngkin signs. speaking to sporters each one told us education was a number one concern. youngkin in gate city. >> you get to stand up for every child in america. what is happening in school boards and what's happening in school districts in virginia

the reconciliation bill, build back better bill. if 0 progressives vote against it there won't be 20 republicans who vote for it to cover that so nancy pelosi will not have that bill passed potentially she is not put it forward. let's bring in our panel harold ford jr. ceo of empowerment inclusion capitol. mollie hemingway federalist. and cimberly strossel member of the editorial board at the "wall street journal." i called this a legislative chicken. there is pressure. the president has called the if that's the case, you are going to have to wait, i mean it may punt to december. >> thank you for having moo on and what a day for the country as we bury colin powell. i say two things put the bill on the floor tonight speaker pelosi and her leadership team should. those progressives who wish to vote against it should be allowed to vote their conscience and go home and definite it. if i was still in congress and i represented a district in memphis, go i had to go home and defend why i voted against the $1.2 trillion bill that would buil

bill is back in la joya, texas. good morning, bill. >> good morning. that's exactly right. the group is behind us as we speak now. this is a large group of illegal immigrants that crossed the border illegally at 2:00 in the morning last night and walked across the rio grande and being processed by border patrol now. a mixture of family units and runners. more on them in a second. we want the talk about the young boy you referenced. this is an 8-year-old guatemalan boy found abandoned by border patrol officials in el paso on monday. he was dropped off near a bridge by unknown individuals and basically told just walk in a straight line until you find somebody wearing a uniform. thankfully border officials found that little boy in good health and good condition. they believe they found a woman in virginia who was that boy's mother and given to hhs and will then likely be placed with her if it ends up being his mother. more on the group we were telling you about. if you can pull up the video we shot this morning. the biggest hot spot along the border. la jolla, in this spot alo

that is why we need to move on this bill back better bill right now. experts across the board have looked at it and concluded it will increase inflation because is paid for. when you pay for investments you don't add aggregate demand to the economy. we saw this week to large rating financial firms mitch fitch and moody's underscored this bill will increase inflation. what it will do is lower cost, this is going to be the biggest cost cutting bill for working-class and american families in decades in this country. it's gonna go at cost the persistent problems for the american people. it'll lower the cost of prescription drugs, put a cap on out-of-pocket cost for drugs for seniors and allow medicare to negotiate prices on behalf of american consumers. it'll lower the cost of healthcare and housing and get millions of americans to work by addressing the cost that keep them from going to the workplace. we have millions of parents, women in particular that cannot work because they cannot afford the cost of childcare or care for an elderly parent this will l

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

. >> a vote a massive bill this morning. you are watching "fox and friends first" on this busy friday. todd: democrats hoping to pass the tax and spending plan last night but the minority leader's marathon speech forcing pelosi to push to 8 am eastern today as the package will at a whopping $367 billion to the federal deficit. that is carley shimkus, far cry from the president's promise that it would be fully played for. carley: breaking news from washington. >> kevin mccarthy was able to delay a house that with more than a our speech. >> i don't know. i know america will know more about it. it is your money. what you do with your money is to decide, not washington bureaucrats. >> mccarthy's beating nancy pelosi, back in 2018. mccarthy's last-ditch delay was to stall passage of the bills back better bill, the nonpartisan congressional budget office estimates the bill will add $367 billion over the next decade. the deficits are closer to $160 billion, that is not 0 like the president has claimed. >> doesn't cost a cent. $1.75

this bill gets us a long ways down that road. not to mention what it does for our courts in my district. and now -- mercedes-benz is made in north charleston. and these kinds -- the bmw, they've got to have the ability to get these products out. so this infrastructure bill is huge for the community that i represent. and then that gets us to the rule. the rule on build back better. in build back better, the reason we got handed that bill is because that is where so much of what we need for families to get to where they need to be for their communities to get to where they need to be -- children in that field is where we need to make it permanent for another year. the tax credits for children, tax reduction i call it, for families of children. this is very important, not to mention the other part of the family that is taken care of through that bill. so we are not -- this is what we have to do for the cost of pharmaceuticals. i try to use the word medicine. rather than the drugs -- the cost of pharmaceuticals. the cost there is in

but can the president count on bipartisan packing human infrastructure bill? will talk to a gop congresswoman coming up next. ♪♪ with xfinity home, you can keep your home and everything in it more protected. i can wrangle all my deliveries. thanks, hoss! and i help walk the dog from wherever. *door unlocks* ♪ ♪ well, i can bust curfew-breakers in an instant. well, you all have xfinity home, with cameras to home security monitored by the pros. *laughs* learn more about home security or get our self-monitored solution starting at just $10 per month. there is absolutely nothing radical about investment in infrastructure. infrastructure has long been i bipartisan my ready, it was voted on in a bipartisan way in both the house and the senate. it's getting in infrastructure done and getting an investment in infrastructure from the goal of president trump. eric: congresswoman says $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill is now on its way to present biden's desk after house lawmakers approved bipartisan measures last night. weeks of democratic deadlock threaten to d

the infrastructure bill and the rule for the build back better bill. there was some panic on the floor. what came out of that? did you hear anything? any reaction to that moment? speak of the one thing i know is usually nancy pelosi is not handed a list as to where the votes are or aren't. nancy pelosi whether you like her or not always knows where the votes are. she knows who's going to vote yes, who's going to vote no and that is why we are having this momentary delay here. nancy pelosi has always said she will not put a bill on the floor to lose. if it's on the floor you can bet your bottom dollar they are probably going to pass it. when she thought we could move the infrastructure bill, again, you could lose a few republicans they are -- if you democrats there -- get some air cover from some republicans. remember there is a coalition of about nine to 15 republicans who will probably vote yes on this bill. the math, the math come of the math, and whether you like nancy pelosi or not, she's very good at counting the votes. >> raymond: we will leave i

>> this bill -- i read this bill. it is cover to cover infrastructure. 350 billion is going to roads, highways, and bridges which you would consider traditional infrastructure the other is for airports, seaports, ferry systems, coastal projects like the east shore sea wall, sewer systems which is so important following ida, the damage that took place in new york city. upgrading the subway signals to a communication-based train control. still relying on pre-world war ii equipment in some subways. so for an aging city like new york city this bill was incredibly important. the reality is that this is the type of investment that people actually pay taxes for. the basic infrastructure needs that you expect from government but have been neglected for decades. as you reported earlier i believe we significantly took away the leverage from the socialist squad and why aoc and the others voted against it. they knew if the true infrastructure bill passed the spotlight would go onto their social spending bill that includes the i.r

paul: bill, one of the arguments people make for the bill and the social spending, we been under investing in children and families and therefore this will help search the social fabric together pouring money in to these folks. why don't you address that? is the biggest moral defense of this spending. >> i find, i've never known inflation has had positive effects bring together but look at what you are saying, they talk about investment in this is the government doing this. it seems the new logic is the more the government spends, the bigger the bill in terms of spending, the fewer hard questions we ask. it's all high in the sky promises and i don't think it's going to from some of the spending doesn't take place for a while, this is a classic washington achievement, they heralded as a victory in washington. i don't think unless americans see improvement in their daily lives, it's going to do anything to boost joe biden approval ratings and it may be lower, people realize it's all about spending and giving washington a lot more over our economy. joe manchin's original complaint was the ent

we need to get both bills done, we've always said we need to get both bills done, and tonight we have an agreement that will get both bills done. we're gonna trust each other, because the democratic party is together on this. we are united, but it is important for us to get both bills done. >> we've also reached an agreement to tonight move forward on a common sense build back better reconciliation bill, fiscal analysis is consistent with the white house financial numbers we received last night. >> here's the agreement. moderate pledge to support the spending plan so long as the house considered - - liberals rage ad-ed at how democratic leaders tried to force the issue. >> well, the whole deal was a cluster [bleep] right? beyond that, i was just up there when we they going through all this a little while ago, an hour or so, i thought everyone was working in a very congenial way. >> other liberals took out their frustrations on moderates. >> look, we began today with what we thought was an understanding, ready to cast our votes, and a very small cohort of our colleagues moved the goal

then she said this. >> we'll be happy to vote both of the bills, the infrastructure bill and the build back better bill through the house and i'm hoping that can happen as soon as tomorrow or the next day. we're ready to get this transformational change to people. >> martha: sounds like there's going to be a vote in her mind. is that what you're hearing? >> we're not hearing that. i think congress woman jayapal is high as a kite right now. finally we have a -- >> martha: what do you mean by that? >> they want to have additional immigration in the bill. we haven't had time to make all of these modifications,

we are worried about inflation and this bill that socialist spending bill may they vote on tonight pours gasoline on inflation. any democrat who claims to be a moderate if you vote for the socialist spending packageac you will get your ass beat and you deserve it. >> martha: here's alexandria ocasio-cortez. she thinks what happened in virginia was just all the fault of playing everything too moderate. >> i think the results show the limits of trying to run a fully 100% super modern campaign that doesn't excite or energize a progressive base. >> [laughing]. >> martha: that's what she said. what do you say to her? >> i think she is the most tone deaf person in believe. -- in america. she believes something where he is almost blind. in minneapolis they voted to abolish the police department. the people said no. her candidate in buffalo, new york, was beat by a write in candidate. the president of the new jersey senate a long-time democrat got beat by a guy who spent $153. she thinks the problem is they are not liberal enough. if you listen to her and march to her tune, you will have a wipe

the infrastructure bill is a separate bill and passed on a bipartisan basis. that's a way to demonstrate they could get something done. >> martha: would you encourage republicans in the house to vote yes on that infrastructure bill passed in the senate to have a bipartisan win? >> i will leave it up to them to figure that out. >> martha: senator, thank you very much. mitch mcconnell always good to see, sir. >> thank you. >> martha: a quick break and we'll be right back with more. veteran homeowners. newday usa has dropped their rates again. the newday two and a quarter refi is the lowest rate in their history. two and a quarter percent. just 2.48 apr. these rates could cut thousands off your mortgage payments every year. with their two and a quarter refi, there's no money out of pocket and no upfront fees. newday's holding the line on those low rates so every veteran family can save. you're a one-man stitchwork master. but your staffing plan needs to go up a size. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. indeed instant match instantly delivers quality c

this comes on the heels of congress passing his long awaited infrastructure bill, a bipartisan bill that could really only pass with republican help. there's also plenty reef sis tans to the president's vaccine mandates for both federal workers and employees of large companies. raising new questions about supply chain issues. white house correspondent peter doocy starts us off tonight live from the north lawn, good evening, peter. bret. >> peter: good evening, bret. even though officials have talked for months about the urgent dangers presented by crumbling roads and bridges, president biden still hasn't signed the infrastructure bill congress sent to his desk three days ago. >> any lessons from what you just gone through with the bipartisan infrastructure. >> none that i didn't already know. >> pete: now that the bidens are back from a beach weekend the officials are celebrating the passage of the bipartisan infrastructure bill. >> we are excited with an exclamation point. >> next up, a few trillion more in the build back better plan. >> the economic policy agenda that you hear we say t

people don't believe the bill will help, only a quarter of americans say the president's bill will help their family. only a third say it will help the economy. more say they thinkable or their families and the economy. leader mccarthy has been able to delay the vote but it is unlikely to change the outcome. the house will be back in four hours, democrats are believed to have all the votes they need to pass it today before sending it to the senate. >> for trump senior advisor stephen miller says this spending package will come back to bite the dems. listen. >> the only person in the country that is polling worse, the only politician pulling worse than president biden is kamala harris. that is a political crisis for this administration, like having the titanic sink and find out your lifeboats are filled with holes. it is a political catastrophe because they have nowhere to go and i will add as they are looking to pass this build back better monstrosity and twist arms in the house and especially the senate democrats have to know with the unpopularity of biden and harris they are looking a

this bill is a good bill that's going to help families across the country. and i'm excited that we can get it done last night. molly: infrastructure tends to poll fairly well and it's done in a bipartisan manner and 13 republicans that came across the aisle to make it happen. now we're focusing on the same thing, the build back better act and while infrastructure tends to be something where there's compromise and a lot of discussion of compromise around, there social spending effort looks like it might be the tougher challenge, and yet, it seems like there's some confidence on the democratic side that a deal has been made. the president saying that he doesn't negotiate in public, the president saying he's confident he'll have the votes to pass the build back better plan. your thoughts as that becomes the next challenge? >> i'm feeling very confident that we'll pass the build back better act and i have to tell you when i'm talking to my constituents regardless of their political background, if they have have kids they are struggling to afford child care right

this week we signed the infrastructure bill. we need that bill. democratic and republican presidents have tried for decade to get money to fix our roads and our bridges and yes, the president is going. i'm excited to welcome him back and see him drive a truck. i'm happy. the american people realize electric vehicles still have the performance of an internal combustion engine, cost less, same performance. clean up the economy. we've avoeded the drama of capitol hill that i'm proud of. ceo and auto workers and others and environmentalists came together and talked about concerns and together said we have to transform the future and that's what we'll celebrate today. >> dana: going forward it feels to me there is a lot of drama on capitol hill on both sides within both parties. just to be clear. the congressional budget office considered nonpartisan a thorn in the sides of most presidents, i know that. the white house is suggesting this cbo does not have experience to be able to give a correct score. the score matters a lot. house moderates and senato

>> bill, this is the wisconsin -- >> bill: go ahead. >> this is the wisconsin practice. so to compare in federal court what would happen would be if you took 18, which you don't do in every case, but in the longe case, if you are afraid of losing jurors come if you take 18 come if during the trial you lose one of the 12, the first world war picked pick their tea to beat the jury in the last si of the alternates. if you lose a juror during the trail, the alternates replace the jurors from the lowest number to the highest number, the first one picked the last one packed. >> bill: i get all that. it just seems very unique. >> but understand that rittenhouse doesn't know who he is picking. they put those names and the tumbler. he is picking up numbers. the numbers don't relate as far as he is concerned to named jurors, so it is like a lottery. he doesn't really know which si are coming out. >> governor walker, you are going to say something crack. >> i've been in a jury trouble for in a civil case, and i was the 13th juror at the end but they print to deliberation. both atto

i'm dana perino. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer. brooks is in custody of he plowed that vehicle into the crowd prompting chaos and screams of terror. >> bill: first responders many taking part in the pair add itself rushing to provide medical aid. parents running through the streets looking for children. horrified witnesses describing they say was a surreal and fatal scene. >> people were laying over four or five blocks. i thought a drunk driver didn't stop but someone said they did it deliberately. >> i saw a red truck crash into the band members. after they hit them they went to the right side of the street and went all the way down the block to the end of the street. >> lots of kids. there was moms running looking for their children afterwards. screaming and running in stores. it was bizarre to see and hear. >> kaleigh we're so sorry everyone is going through this and grateful you are here today. describe for us what you saw. >> well, the christmas waukesha parade. it was a lot of families. there were a lot of people there. a lot

this bill reduces the deficit. it also ensures that all of us will pay our fair share to support our democracy. >> that the bill is not paid for, heaps an additional $367 billion on the deficit, democrats say that is offset by $200 billion in revenue for beefed-up irs enforcement, the gop notes they passed $1 trillion of covidien on their own in late winter. >> never in american history has so much spent at one time. never in american history bill so many taxes be raised and so much of borrowing needed to pay for all this reckless spending. every page of all this new washington spending will be paid for or borrowed from you, the american hard-working taxpayer. >> it is about the math. house speaker nancy pelosi can only lose 3 votes on her side and still pass the bill but her calling card is praising big bills by just a vote or two. pelosi would not have foot this bill on the floor a she has the votes. >> this will shock all of you but biden absentas a barometer doesn't come close to paying for itself even on paper

bill. moderate democrats who aren't fully on board without more information from the cbo, congressional budget office. three scoring this as we say and waiting to tell everybody how much they believe it will cost. it is hard to tell what actually they are scoring at this point. let's bring in karl rove former white house deputy chief of staff and fox news contributor. great to have you with us this morning. good morning to you. your thoughts as they continue this process and try to hammer this thing out with or without a cbo score. >> well, look, first of all this hasn't been done in the normal process. we have not taken this measure through committees. we have not had votes. we have not discussed it or looked at it. it is a rush 2,185 page document and rushing to get it through the house without even a cbo score. even if we get the cbo score we know this, the bill is filled with gimmicks. it has 10 years of revenue to pay for programs that are sun seted after three years, five years or six

they want 72 hours to look at the bill. bernie sanders a few moments ago saying that the by partisan bill supported by mansion. the one that your four increases the deficit. >> kayleigh: week! >> harris: those numbers aren't even close! >> bret: that are not. and we don't know what the second bill looks like. there's a lot of vagueness. >> harris: are you talking cbo score or were we talking about what joe manchin is looking at? what is he looking at question rick >> bret: the reason he gets there is that the programs, in order to get the price down, they put the years on the programs down to two or three years as opposed to ten. if you look at congress that is going to face something that someone has, they're not going to just take it away after two years. it's going to be extended. when you extend the program into ten years, you get to the actual figure that joe manchin is talking about. >> harris: if we could ever take money back and kill an agency, we might want to start with the irs. but it's hard to take them out once

this bill would make it worse. it would make it more difficult and harder to extract energy from u.s. soil. so it's going to restrict supply, increase costs, make gas prices even higher and harder to heat your home during the cooler months here. it's going to make inflation worse and hurt average families even more. >> scott, this notion of taxing inrealized gains. everybody is pushing back. i'm not sure if that is still around there. your thoughts on the impact of the market. >> charles that is the low hanging fruit. we've had such a boost in the stock market prices and unrealized gains, private investments because of the fact we had this great recovery. made some sense that that would be where the administration would go. as far as the impacts, i don't think the market believes it's going to happen. so right now they're awaiting the new tax plan. if that does go through and get in a bill, it will be hurtful to stocks. >> people say you're going to tax unreleased gains? i want a credit in the years i have a loss.

bill without the bipartisan infrastructure bill, so have you got this caught between an irresistible object and immovable force? >> yes, they need us vote, if he is out there and kristen cinemas out there, for him to call a press conference and say this is where i stand, keep in mind how he chased him all over the building all day long and for him to call a press conference and say this is where i stand and i'm not happy and really throw some of his democratic colleagues under the bus especially those on the left, that is significant. that will probably ignite the left because they will say we signed off on this already and agree to this, but you and joe manchin are doing these things that they always accuse him of doing is trying to move the football at the last minute. that is significant. and again, this is where he is basically saying that those progressives are holding the infrastructure bill hostage. they want to pass these bills quickly in the house of representatives, preferably in tandem, keep in mind that the house has debated in the infrastructure bill all they have to do

but still not the actual tax and spend bill. that cbo score is held up for a good reason, the warden report is very in terms of how bad it would be for the economy. $4 trillion, not 1.5 trillion. the voters in virginia said one thing loud and clear, they are tired of all the spending in washington because that is what is driving inflation. we don't need more inflation with 4 trillion in taxes and spending, let alone all the taxes on things like natural gas. you see these payments to illegals, $450,000 and then then they will put amnesty in that tax and spend bill. that is why when the score comes out, it's only going to make things worse. i don't think they will pass it today, but they are going to keep trying. maybe they should be handing out slings for all the arms they are twisting, but they are not there. >> martha: it's interesting, because the message from the white house and the cabinet seems to be that they want to be full steam ahead on the spending bill and they still believe that it is in that current form, what you s

it's like reading the bible from cover to cover twice, to read a bill in that much detail. we will come back at 8:00 in the morning, why 8:00 in the morning you might ask, because the democrats have several flight schedules in europe and asia, they need to get out around noon tomorrow to make a place to go to europe to go on a congressional taxpayer-funded trip to get out of town. that's why we are voting at 8:00 tomorrow morning. >> connor lamb said the quiet part out loud about what the democrats spending bill would mean for taxes on the middle class. >> if we want to propose a lot of new spending and new government programs in our party we have to have the confidence to ask the middle class and people like that to contribute on the ability to do them well so it is easier in the future to get them to trust in investing in the government. laura: is that what we're doing, i thought the government works for us but now we invest in them. the worst investment ever. >> it is why they've got $80 billion in this bill for an irs slush fund to hire 87,000 new irs agents, an irs arm

vote for this bill, which is the companion bill to the next even worse social spending bill, ensures that current inflation last longer and energy prices go even higher. currently the white house has zero plans to keep the latter from soaring out of control. >> could just lay out those other options are considering? >> again, i don't have anything specific here. the president spoke to this recently but he also asked fdc to crackdown on illegal pricing but also we're going to continue to monitor the situation and have a number of tools in our arsenal, as i just mentioned. i don't have anything specific. >> laura: monitoring the situations, that's always my favorite answer. what you all have to understand here, and the phony infrastructure republicans don't seem to get is that rising energy costs are a key part of the democrats agenda. they want costs to go up, because they want to build back greener, even though it's going to mean that many republicans will be forced to choose, what? many americans are going to be forced to choose heat or food this winter. affordable energy means that

the president's will next turn to the other massive spending bill, the social spending bill. one of his top advisors thinks there's enough votes to pass it. >> we're optimistic we're going to get it done and the truth is we need to get it done, we need to get it done. the 17 nobel prize winning economists said it will ease inflationary pressures, help with the supply chain and i vest in human capital in this country all at one time. >> reporter: after passing 1 infrastructure bill, up next, getting the rest of the president's massive economic agenda passed. senators joe manchin and kyrsten sinema will likely play leading roles and will be the deciding votes in the upper chamber, a $2 trillion social spending bill looms when congress returns later this month. the more than 2,000 page bill contains new spending on healthcare, education, the climate and new tax laws. many republicans are weary of the price tag and think it could cost the american taxpayer much more. >> they were at 1 point of 75. now -- 1.75. now they're over $4 trillion. that happened tuesday. they're going to

i'm dana perino. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer. >> dana: great weekend. 12 is how i would rank it. >> bill: that was pretty good. worked a little bit. white house today saying it expects to moving the spending process forward the social spending measure to a vote next week in the house. republicans point out they don't have a needed votes in the senate. >> senator manchin has been a partner. a lot more conservative and everybody sees that but he has been a willing partner to come to the table with constructive dialogue and we're confident in where we will go with our bipartisan -- build back better framework. we're optimistic to get it done. >> we need to drive a stake through the heart of this $4 trillion tax and spending bill. to do that we'll need help of joe manchin and sinema. the democrats seem to be addicted to spending and taxing. >> bill: hold onto your seat again. aishah hosni begins this hour in d.c. good morning. >> good morning to you guys. democrats may feel like they are riding a big win but the biden agenda still very much in limbo here, bill and dana. after months of tough

this bill will fight inflation. the reason it will fight inflation among other things, we have a drag on our economy and labor supply because a lot of parents are not going back to work because they can't find childcare, you will see politicians maybe on this program saying up is down and black is white and somehow saying the opposite but let me be clear this bill will flight inflation. this is very important, 17 nobel prize-winning economist have signed a letter in the package will help fight inflation. another wall street analytics that we talked about on the president's bill will fight inflation. chris: this administration has been minimizing inflation for months. you know the word that's being used by this administration, transitory the fact that it is transitory and you want to talk about experts of former secretary of the treasury under bill clinton under the top economic advisor to barack obama, larry summers has been talking about inflation for months and a lot of people worry when you take an inflationary o

>> not at all, bill. no doubt that china represents the single greatest threat to not only the united states but open democratic societies around the world. a boycott is the tip of the iceberg. we need to take much more drastic measures with respect to china. i went to china in the spring of 2007. a student at harvard and did an exchange program with pee king university getting ready for the 2008 olympics in beijing. it is them showing to the world stage they will actually be a fair and just society to create the smoke screen they are creating for the world just as they did with the false video of this tennis player. this reminds me of the berlin olympics in the early 1930s. a moment we'll remember for much of history if we ultimately indulge the chinese fantasy they are operating a just society when they represent the single greatest threat to open democracy around the world. i am in favor of pulling out of the olympics. i don't think it will be a big deal. that's the tip of the iceberg what we need to b

i want people to know what is in the bill. i want people to know what they're doing with the big government socialism isn't working. they see it every day. thanks for one moment that in eight months. this border being open, more people 1.4 million have entered illegally, that's more than the last three years combined. when you taken attorney general that turns and lies to congress that they are actually looking up parents and calling them terrorists. when you watch what they have done as you sit down as a family. i don't know how long you're going to drive or how far for thanksgiving but your gasoline prices are the highest it's been since the last time joe biden was in office. or your thanksgiving dinner will be the most expensive in american history or when you sit down to pray and give thanks, i hope we'll talk about those 13 goldstar families that lost their lives because of the prisoner coming out about a because we left or the americans left behind. that is what big government socialism has given us. maria: we were waiti

bill. speaking of spending, a complete reversal tonight from the white house on the idea of paying huge sums of money to illegal immigrants separated from their families. we'll have that story. we have fox team coverage. peter doocy is at the white house with what the biden team is saying about that today versus what the president said yesterday. but we begin with congressional correspondent chad pergram on capitol hill with where things stand at this minute with the spending legislation. good evening, chad. >> good evening, bret. democrats are stuck one senior democratic leadership aide described this as a, quote, blank show and that's not the term they used. this could mean the house doesn't vote any time soon. house speaker nancy pelosi does not go to the floor and lose. if she had the votes, the speaker would have called the vote. >> do you expect the vote tonight and is it possible that you might just vote on the infrastructure bill considering everybody seems to be bought in and sayin

these bills, these bills in fact , are the two bills we're talking about, 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 of the journey of this nation, what becomes crystal clear, not a joke, given half the chance, the american people never ever ever ever ever let their country down. what about giving them a full chance this time, and when we do , there's going to be no stopping us. i truly believe the 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 c

>> well, i call it the bbb bs bill. they tell you there is going to be 2 million additional jobs created when the school of business said jobs would be lost. the actual tax breaks are will from to the very rich. there's a salt provision that raises the limit up to $80,000 so if you're paying $80,000 in taxes in state and local taxes, you're probably making over a million dollars a year. they're going to get a break and then in terms of inflation, you know, it's supposed to be like $1.8 trillion. so you're going to add $1.8 trillion to the economy and somehow inflation is going to go down? again, that's another big, fat lie that lies in this bill. that's why it's very unpopular and a it shouldn't pass because it's going to damage the american economy. there are other things in the bill that are just horrendous and should never pass because it is really trying to change what america is all about. carley: president biden always uses that phrase that he wants to rebuild the country from the bottom up and the middle out and
