kirsten sinema pushed for a change to the bills tax provisions, concerned over the how the corporate tax hikes would affect subsidiaries of private equity firms. in the end, that was just a speed bump for democrats, who came up with work around. they kept the party together to pass the historic legislation the inflation production act will now head to the house where it is scheduled for a final vote, this coming week. joining me now, democratic congresswoman judy chu of california, she's the chairwoman of the congressional asian pacific american caucus. thanks for joining us. let's start with the big news of the day. i guess it started yesterday, but into today. your reaction to the senate passing this bill, and i guess more importantly, do you expect any complications, hiccups, whatever when it comes to the house next week? where this week? >> i'm just so thrilled that it passed, we've gone through ups and downs on the bill this past year, and there are moments of which we wondered whether it would pass at all. but to have this bill that would do so much, for consumers in america. w

kirsten sinema did not want the carried loophole eliminated. she proposed an excise stack on talks, stock trading, but there is 90 on corporate tax, on companies. looks like that will go through, but not in as robust a fashion as it would have otherwise. democrats, republicans are not interested in this, but it looks like it may happen? >> that is exactly right. republicans, not surprisingly, how sided with corporations when it comes to corporate taxes. these are the same republicans who slashed corporate taxes in the first year of trump's presidency. democrats said this is a key element of trying to finance the entire package. they want to propose this 13% corporate minimum tax. keep in mind, the corporate tax rate right now is 21 in the united states. as you and i both know, many very wealthy corporations, which make billions of dollars a year, and paying effectively nothing. this is about establishing a floor, saying no you can't have a tax rate below 15%. yes, the implementation of this will be complex, there will be ways a corporation will

a lot of weight on kirsten sinema and joe manchin. ons. it seems like something of this ilk is going to pass. >> it does. you are seeing a lot of pressure on senator sinema getting on board with that bill and schumer's comments, i am thankful that she's holding it up at this point and pointing to some of the taxes. with tax corporations, the $350 billion hole they are filling now. that tax is not free to the american people, some but he will pay that bill and it is largely on the backs of hard-working americans and their families because prices will go up inevitably and whatever product they are producing, that's not the answer and if sinema does come on board likely could pass potentially which will be devastating to our economy and continue to record inflation we are seeing which is 9.1%. when you couple that with the crashing real estate market because interest rates are going up it is a dire forecast for the next 12 months. jackie: there were a lot of semantics involved in what constitutes a recession. we are talking what constitut

kirsten sinema is always a problem, it seems. you said it is a transformative bill.ve, do you have any concerns about any of the content of the bill? senator bernie sanders, for example, said yesterday he wants to amend this to remove all of the giveaways that are in there for fossil fuel industries, which were presumably put in there to keep joe manchin on board. >> i've got issues with some of the prominent provisions contained in the draft text. but here is the thing. we are on the cusp of doing something transformative. it is certainly the case that the good in this legislation outweighs the bad. it is why you have organizations like sunrise movement endorsing this legislation as well. it doesn't mean that we can't fight to improve it between now and final passage. but i want to be very clear that a lot of what is in this legislation is what we fought so hard for last fall. and i am proud that we have gotten to this moment. it is a shame that it has taken this long and there is a lot of other stuff, including universal childcare provisions, that i coauthored that

you've been -- you've been pretty critical of kirsten sinema in the past for blocking. she has been blocking key miss pieces of the biden agenda. were you surprised to see her backing this bill, deciding to get on board? what did you think of that? >> wasn't surprised. i think she recognized that if she did that, it would potentially put her at risk for supporting the future from voters. but it did surprise me at the end that her one sticking point was her trying to protect very rich hedge fund managers that don't really exist in arizona. if that's what you want to fight for, what you need to vote for this bill, then i think it's appropriate and we'll do it. definitely never going to let, could be the perfect or opposite way around. at a minimum, we're going to pass these bills that are really going to help people's lives. >> are you still considering, now that sinema's on board with this legislation, does that tamp down your potential interest in running against her in a primary challenge in 2024? what do you think? >> no. doesn't tamp down. i always give credit where

the next election, if right out there, in the open, there was the opportunity to close it, and kirsten sinemai think basically, democrats what they have to do, but this bill on the senate floor, and have her vote against it. just say, are you really going to hold up this entire bill? are you really gonna show the country that you are there protecting the richest of the rich, with a loophole that nobody can justify? well, maybe, that is what's necessary. maybe that kind of heat would be enough to do it. otherwise, i don't know where democrats go. i suppose -- i mean, democrats could come up with maybe something else to fill this gap. but it is such an egregious, such a purposeless, and such an obvious buy off to wall street, and to the richest of the rich, that it's gonna be very hard to justify. one final point. both democrats and republicans have been the recipients of money from private equity, and hedge funds, and from the big money behind them. and so, this is a kind of an equal opportunity bribery problem. >> well, my quick last question then, should joe manchin walk away from it? 14 bil

. >> all eyes are on senator kirsten sinema. we have not heard from her yet. chuck schumer is reportedly eyeing this weekend for a vote on the bill. he and senator joe manchin have met with cinema trying to win her support. but so have business groups in her state fighting against the deal. the arizona chamber of commerce and industry and the national association of manufacturers launched an ad blitz saying the bill is bad for arizona. they argue the 15% minimum corporate tax would slow hiring and business growth. they also say the drug price control provision would stifle innovation in the pharmaceutical church. senator manchin says republicans should be on board with this bill but they're bashing the bill. >> martha: everything in there that they like. in a normal situation, this is a wonderful bipartisan bill. i hopeful that they look at it. >> i think the 30% approval rating on the economy is still too high. >> we just got new estimates from the congressional budget office. they found the bill would reduce the deficit the ne

democrats need the votes of kirsten sinema to pass their budget bill.ithin the past hour, sinema huddled with joe manchin on the senate floor. the bill needs the support of all 50 democrats. chuck schumer remains optimistic. >> soon the senate will vote on this ground breaking legislation. i expect we'll have late nights in extended debates here on the floor. in the end, we're going to make good on our word to pass the inflation reduction act. >> schumer just announced the senate will meet saturday and vote to start work on the budget bill. but it's clun when the senate may begin a lengthy voting sequence to pass the bill. it's known as a vote a rama. >> those of us that have endured a number of vote a ramas, patience is a virtual that ends in exhaustion. in an institution that our age of participants rage by 40 years, it's an unpredictable process. >> mitch mcconnell is warning of tax hikes. democrats call it enhanced irs enforcement. >> democrats also want to spend $80 billion to roughly double the size of the irs so they can shake more money out of t

this after senator kirsten sinema signals she's on board to hillary vaughn on capitol hill where the spending push stands. hillary? >> hi, charles. over 230 economists are trying to warn congress, do not pass inflation reduction act. they warn that this bill actually do the opposite. writing in a letter to congress this "the inflation reduction act of 2022 could do nothing of the sort." but leader chuck schumer is brushing off the concerns telling me they're wrong. >> there's a chance that these people are right. is now the right time to do this considering how high -- >> they're wrong. it's obvious it will. you're cutting prescription drug costs, energy costs and we are actually increasing -- we're spending $300 billion on reducing the deficit. so it's as plain as the nose on your face this will reduce in. >> senate republicans say this does not reduce the deficit, the programs are made permanent. senator lindsey graham says they won't make the vote a rama where senators can offer unlimited amendments to the bill go quickly. >> so what will the vote a rama be like? be like hell. the

but this is only after wheeling and dealing with you know who of course arizona senator kirsten sinema who demanded the preservation of a major tax loophole and forget this. the extremely rich hedge fund managers. the side eye is for you, we will talk more about that in a minute but first, republicans are starting to see that face bumping over the nine military and military aid are trying to obliterate abortion rights in kansas tonight go quite as well as they think. the defeat was kind of like when craig took down deebo and friday, you guys remember that? psychotic. regardless, they did not stop trump and back candidates from a sweeping victory in arizona's primaries. former tv anchor and corn election denier, kari lake said her race had been tainted by fraud. she said this before she won the gop primary for governor, take a listen. >> you said this election was messed up, you said to have evidence of cheating. why should voters trust that you won this election -- >> well we have a lot of evidence in irregularities and problems, we will address those. i will not release it to the fake

amy: on capitol hill, arizona democratic senenator kirsten sinema has signaled she wants changes to aget reconciliation bill containing many of president biden's legislative priorities on energy, taxes, and health care. in a private call with arizona's chamber of commerce on tuesday, sinema questioned part of the inflation reduction act that would impose a 15% minimum tax on corporations. sinema also questioned a provision to close the carried interest loophole, which taxes private equity and hedge fund managers at lower rates than most u.s. workers. meanwhile, environmentalists are sounding the alarm over billions of dollars in new tax breaks and subsidies that oil and gas companies would receive as part of the compromise deal agreed to last week by senate majority leader chuck schumer and west virginia senator joe manchin. on wednesday, vermont independent senator bernie sanders said he will offer amendments that would strip out a requirement tying new investments in green energy to mandatory lease sales of millions of acres of public lands to oil and gas companies. >> in my view, i

we have a major development to tell you about on capitol hill tonight, this is just into cnn, kirsten sinemaupport the democratic climates and tax bill giving the party the 50 votes needed to pass the legislation. sinema won multiple changes to the package including the tax on the carried interest, that would have impacted catch fund managers, she released a statement saying in part and i quote following this effort i look forward to working with senator warren to enact care tax reforms, protecting investments in american economy and encouraging continued growth while closing the most egregious loopholes that some abuse to avoid paying taxes. this is a huge win for the biden administration, sinema has been a holdout in trying to pass this key piece of biden's agenda, we continue to report as we get more developments. up next, our cnn exclusive trump's lawyers and direct talks with the doj over general six, we will tell you what they are talking about. to a child, this is what confli looks like. childr in ukraine are caught in the crossfire of war, forced to flee their homes. a steady stream

the pay foregone as what democratic senator kirsten sinema demanded in exchange for her vote. increased that she would not support is closing the carried interest loophole. this is something we have been talking about on this show for a decade. it is a loophole, but both democrats and republicans have pounded the table to close. here is why. carried interest loophole boils down to this, small group of very wealthy people who manage other people's money get to pay about half the top tax rate on their income. instead of 37%, they pay 20%. that is how it goes. day in, day out, you're in, you're out, critics of senator sinema say she opposes closing the loophole because of money. according to open secrets, she's received two point $2 million in contributions over the past five years from the investment firms whose employees benefit the most of this loophole, like private equity firm kkr, and investment bank goldman sachs. one blunt and honest billionaire, bill akron, called it what it, is tweeting, the carried interest loophole is a stain on the tax code. it's an embarrassment, an

kirsten sinema did not find a way to cinemas the proceedings, making sure that private equity got anrom the new 15% minimum corporations acts. and did you happen to catch how she voted to advance the bill yesterday? oh, so casually, with her thumbs up. but hey, at least, she finally voted yes to a bill that is historic in many ways. it will fund the biggest ever increase for the irs, which right now lacks the ability to enforce its rules and catch tax dodgers. it would also be the biggest ever u.s. investment in climate change, which let's face, it is a curve here. nevertheless, it will provide nothing to sneeze at 400 billion dollars in tax credits for americans to invest in electric vehicles and homes solar, and for utilities to move towards renewable and energy sources. and overall, it will help reduce carbon emissions by 40% by the end of the decade. that is huge. the bill also allows democrats to make good on a promise decades in the making, allowing medicare to negotiate that down. negotiate down the price of some prescription drugs. look, the passage of this remarkable bill wa

be active in the formation of this bill, obviously in exchange for things he wanted done and kirsten sinema. but when you look at the exam below that, the politics of getting this bill done in the months it took to get done. are there some things that you are not happy about, is there's some likelihood about building consensus to get more of that done during your term? >> well, i think it is probably unlikely it we are going to get more legislation done as much as i would like to get to see that happen. the pieces of the bill that i'm heartbroken about the we are not passing are of course the investment in the care economy which would help bring women back in the economy and the workforce. but when i want to say to people who are impatient that we haven't got that done, is that we took a giant step forward in drafting the language and getting that consensus for 99% of the democratic party to be on board for universal child, universal pre-k, investments in housing, improving dental and hearing visits for medicare. all we need to do ali is get a couple more people, couple more democrats in th

manchin and senate majority leader chuck schumer also now have their final holdout, arizona senator kirsten sinemaard. they're gonna have to get some changes to get her approval including removing a provision that would've limited the preferential tax treatment of income -- earned by some wealthy hedge fund managers and private equity executive, sometimes called the carry interest loophole. thank you senator sinema. still, democrats replaced that with a new 1% excise tax that companies would have to pay on the amount of stock that they have re-purchased. which is a good thing that will raise more money. and ensure that the package still reduces the federal deficit by as much as 300 billion dollars. the same amount democrats and four with the original deal. and, if this deal goes through, the house plans to vote on it a week from today. it will cap off a string of recent triumphs for joe biden and the democrats. just in the past week, we saw the killing of al-qaeda leader alma zawahiri, a major legislative achievement with the chips, bill investing billions and semi conductive manufacturing and sci
