bill: all right now on "fox news sunday". ♪. bill: hello again and welcome.oncept 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 drought

. 2018, no such infrastructure bill. 2019, no such infrastructure bill. but in 2019 in early 2019, the president said $1 trillion is not enough we ought to do $2 trillion. that was president trump. $2 trillion. was his suggestion. and we asked him, mr. president we'll support that, tell us how you think we ought to fund it. oh. had to fund it. president never came forth either with a bill or with funding. for a bill. so we didn't pass that. this president said no, we do need infrastructure. and the figure that trump used is not certainly what this country needs but it is a very, very good start. so he sent down a bill to accomplish that objective. that bill was not the one we passed. because eight senators from the republican side of the aisle, eight senators from ethis democratic side of the aisle got together. talked about what can we agree upon? i hear so much, particularly from, when i have colloquies with the minority whip about bipartisanship we ought to come together. we ought to work together. well, eight senators on the republican side and eight

bill is back at his post today. bill, good morning. >> bill, good morning to you. that's right.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 human smugglers.

the timing of these two bills? rep. jayapal: i do not know. we are finalizing the final pieces of negotiation around. this is the senate working on this, the prescription drug pricing, with our chairman, and also finalizing immigration. that is something we are working through collectively, senate and house. there are some technical details around the limitation of childcare and the language within the text not matching the framework in terms of one of the benefits go out. we want to resolve that. for the most part, we are pretty close i think so hopefully we get that done this week. both bills and that it goes to the senate. >> have you heard any of these reports that democratic donors were considering withholding funding or donations ahead of the 2022 midterms over the fact that congress has not passed any infrastructure or build back better? is that a concern? rep. jayapal: it is not a concern of mine. >> thank you.

this was billed as a bipartisan infrastructure bill.ntly when you say infrastructure most americans think bridges, roads, the things that you see during and they agree for the need to use tax dollars to replace these things and maintain them. but this bill brings in a whole new definition of what infrastructure is. joe biden on the campaign trail talked about redefining infrastructure to include human infrastructure. that basically opens the doors to all kinds of spending, which this bill does in part. it includes, for instance, $50 billion for climate change and drought mitigation. it includes another $65 billion for internet connections. if you start going through the hundreds of pages i'm sure you're going to find a lot of things that are eyebrow-racing. host: when you look at it differently if it had only stuck specifically to this idea of road and bridge spending? or was that off the table too? guest: no. you know what? we need to spend to maintain our roads and bridges. that is an expense that most americans are on board with. tha

to make sure that that we didn't pass the infrastructure bill without the build back better bill. and we made a tremendous amount of progress. what happened on friday, is that we were all set to pass both bills. at the last minute there were six democrats who said they needed more fiscal information from the congressional budget office. and that they needed a little bit more time. i'll tell you rachel, our members of the progressive caucus were so strong, they were willing to continue to hold it up. but we had a caucus why discussion, and we decided, that what we needed to do was show momentum, by passing the infrastructure bill, if and only if we got an absolute rock-solid agreement, from the six, that they would vote for this bill, as soon as the congressional budget office got that information to them, but no later than next week. that is the agreement that we finally agreed to. i believe and i'll tell you they made a commitment to me one-on-one, they made a written statement, they also made a commitment to the president, that they did not believe any information would change s

and that is the bill that passed in december. during that time my argument was hey we're the energy and commerce committee, maybe we should hold hearings about how these dollars were divvied up and how they're being spent, maybe issues like executive bonuses could be more fully investigated if indeed that was a problem. and again if congress is doing its work, then those types of difficulties can be dealt with. but congress chose not to do its work. the speaker of the house simply wanted to spend money. and eventually in december that bill did pass. there was almost immediately then the new administration another bill. remember in december, it was probably about a -- $1.4 trillion that went to coronavirus relief and then another bill passed in february with no one looking back to see, hey, did we spend all of the money we just sent out in december? did spend all of the money that we sent out in july, or i'm sorry in march of 2020. so that is been the problem. we won't do the work, the investigative work to find out have we spent

that's what they put into the bill. the problem for democrats, the thing that sanders is so upset about, when you roll back that limit on the deduction, it's actually a tax-cut, mostly for the rich, because they are the ones most hit by the cap, they are paying the largest amount of taxes and itemizing deductions on their federal taxes. so, the democrats suddenly have a bill that is meant to help people in poverty and people in the middle class, but also tacked on, a tax-cut that will largely benefit the rich. sanders has complained about that, and i think you will see him attempt to change or tweak that, to perhaps cap the value of the deduction or do other things so it helps the top earners, but not the super 1%. host: what about drawing the line in the sand in terms of the price tag on the spending bill? guest: sanders has talked about it, but i cannot imagine he will be fighting against any of the senators who were the ones that reduced the overall cost of this bill down from the $3.5 trillion that was in the origin

if you look at this bill, the so-called infrastructure bill, we see funding that gets us to about 70% of the way with 100 percent buildout of broadband in our country. that come unto me, is very important. you are not going to be able to have the kind of medical care that we need unless we have telehealth and telemedicine. you're not going to have the adequate education for our children unless there is online learning that has to take place. rural businesses are not going to be able to thrive unless they can have just-in-time delivery of their services and products. broadband alone is a big deal for me. but if you look at the communities that i represent, rural communities, these communities that this bill, water and sewage time to development in needs to make these effective for future growth and development. this bill cancels a long ways down that road -- gets us a long ways down that road and not to mention what it does for our ports. our ports, when you see a state like south carolina, now we do more tires in south carolina than in ohio. mercedes-benz is made in north charleston.

this is a budget bill. a budget bill. a budget, according to speaker pelosi, says it's a statement of their values. you know what, let's look through the 400 new pages you added in. because there's a lot of things that you didn't point out, mr. chairman, that the american people needs to know the senate. like almost $350 billion tax cuts for the 1%ers of this country. you put in the states and local tax cap that was on it at $10,000 a year and you increased it to 72,500 per person? in this bill. that shows your priorities. and you know what's -- i was like, where is 72,500 come from? guess what? you live in the state of new jersey and you make a million dollars and you're married, that's 72,500. new jersey wasn't so good last night for the democrats. maybe this is a way to help them. i don't know. but the american people do not like the direction of where we're going. and the fact that the -- one of the biggest pay fors in this bill is a tax break to the wealthiest 1%ers. the bill that is before us right now, the bill bef

the second bill i passed i had attached to a democrat bill out of the v.a. committee of veterans affairs involving scholarship funding for gold star families. the third bill that i most recently passed out of the house of representatives was a bill that a progressive out of silicon valley in california, he and i worked on cybersecurity together and we will continue to work on those issues. i am willing to find a way if others are willing to join me. host: nancy mace, do you hear from constituents more about your vote to subpoena steve bannon or your efforts to end testing on puppies? guest: i would say the puppy letter regarding beagle experiments by dr. fauci and nih has garnered much more attention than my vote on contempt charges . as i promised folks when i ran for office when i got sworn in, i swore an oath to the constitution. the vote on subpoena powers, i would not want to water down those powers for congress because when republicans are in the majority, we will want to have hearings, we will want >> the u.s. house about to gavel in to begin legislat

the infrastructure bill and the rule for the build back better bill.as 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 it there.

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
