senator mike braun joined me now.ow where he stands on it bearing in mind 9.6% inflation? >> if he is listening to his constituents in west virginia the reason he got on the bipartisan effort to squash the vaccine mandate that was surprising. that goes against the grain of their party. he has been so public saying he believes you got to budget this stuff, worried about the national debt. when he and i both got elected, me reelected, $18 trillion in debt and now we are 30 trillion and i think they look at every word he said, his constituents back home hold him accountable. that is why i think he believes we can't afford it. he hasn't even seen the text to see what is in the fine print. they shoehorn all kinds of crazy policy into these reconciliation bills. i am hoping he keeps delaying it or even squashes it in the long run. stuart: what we keep hearing on this program today from some commentators is there is no way you are going to get build back better before christmas. is going to have to be pushed into next year a

. >> republican senator mike braun of indiana is pitching a different plan to colleague, all 50 republicansion, the government may shut down over the weekend to allow time to move the bill through the senate. joining us now, nbc capitolhill news correspondent leigh ann caldwell. good morning. thank you for being here. they're meeting with a lot of frustration and confusion. if a group of republicans continue its opposition, how long will the shutdown last, >> that's the thing, jonathan. they can't continue the shutdown. they can just slow down the process. the way things work in the senate, is you need the consent of 100 senators in order to expedite everything. remember, the shutdown would start tomorrow night. and so what they need is for things to move very quickly. two senators want to use all of the senate procedure time to extend the process, so this effectively would be a shutdown over the weekend, maybe a day or two into next week, and the ultimate result would be they will not defund it because they're still in the minority. it won't pass the house of ref actives. for now profit re

now, this effort was led by senator mike braun of indiana. two democrats in favor of this bill. it was actually, as you said, jon tester, moderate democrat from montana, and joe manchin, a moderate democrat from west virginia. but the rest of the democrats in the chamber, of course, opposed this legislation. but as i said, really the bigger picture here is, laura, it sends a message to these republicans back home that voted these senate republicans into office, that they are listening to them and this is why they wanted to vote for this. laura? >> daniela diaz, thank you. >>> mark meadows is suing nancy pelosi and the house select committee investigating the capitol riot. donald trump's former chief of staff is asking a federal court to block enforcement of a subpoena the committee sent him as well as the subpoena it issued to verizon for his phone records. but the committee is still moving forward with a criminal contempt referral against their former house colleague. it's time for three questions in three minutes. let's bring in aaron blake

host: republican mike braun of indiana leading the charge in the senate to undo president biden's vaccineandate for the private sector. why did two democrats join republicans? joe manchin supports vaccine mandates for federal employees and the military but says i do not support any vaccine mandate for private businesses. it is not the place of the government to tell business owners how to protect employees from covid-19 and operate their businesses. we should incentivize, not penalize, private employers to encourage vaccination among their employees. he notes that he has been vaccinated and has had a booster shot and urges his constituents to get a shot. jon tester put out a statement saying -- over the last few months i've repeatedly heard concerns from montana's small business community leaders of the effect the mandate will have on their bottom line. that's why i intend to join a bipartisan majority in defending jobs and businesses against these regulations. i urge everyone to get vaccinated as soon as possible to end the pandemic once and for all. now we turn to all of you, what do yo

listen to mike braun, the leading republican of the legislation of indiana.ere's what he had to say. [video clip] >> once we had a vaccine, i think we got it quicker than what we would have otherwise if we were entrepreneurial in the way we did it. i have been on record that unless you have a good reason not to, you should get the vaccine, but, where i come from, when you then try to extend that to the point, especially looking at what we have traveled through over 1.5 years, into are hardly any transmission is occurring at the business level or what you do during the day, and then you have a brainstorm like this, you either get the vaccine or you get tested, or you lose your job , or if you choose to do neither of the two. that is the heavy hand of government, overreach, and that is when my phone started ringing off the hook. when i would go home each weekend, like i always do, i would get calls and text messages. people would stop me and say, what is happening? and this is not from corporate america, this is from where we need to be paying attention. rememb
