bill. progressive leaders like ocasio-cortez have threatened they have enough votes to tank it once it gets back to the house and that they will if the senate doesn't pass the larger $3.5 trillion infrastructure package through budget reconciliation first. now, republicans on the other hand have no particular interest the larger package. moderates want the smaller bill first. if either pulls out, the bill has no shot of passing both houses and getting to the president's desk. so chuck schumer and nancy pelosi are stuck on one side of the river with the fox, the chicken and corn. there are differences between the bills. the bipartisan one is being significantly smaller. it's also focusing on hard infrastructure, things like roads, bridges, broadband. the larger reconciliation bill issues like education, childcare and climate change. that only matters if they can get passed by both houses with reasons, moderates and progressives onboard. so how do we solve the puzzle? one of the senators who could be voting on one of these infrastructure packages as soon as this week, she is a member of the s

bipartisan infrastructure bill is designed to bring our infrastructure up to date for a new century and that is a significant achievement. >> progressive congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortezays there are more than enough votes in the house to tank the bill unless congress passes a bigger spending package along with it. >> if there's not a reconciliation bill and if the senate does not pass the reconciliation bill, we will uphold our end of the bargain and not pass the bipartisan bill until we get all of these investments in. >> president biden initially sought more than $2 trillion for an infrastructure and economic recovery package but republicans slammed that, calling it too much. wyoming senator john barrasso says all americans will be stuck footing the bill for the democrats' spending plan. listen. >> you look at the run-away inflation, we're living in now to put more spending on top of that makes it a lot worse many this wasn't a negotiation with nancy pelosi. this was a hijacking and this would be terrible for the country, for the economy, and she's not just a hijacker, she is also an arsonist. this is putting additional jet fuel on the flames of inflation and we kn

but presentative alexandria ocasio-cortez has threatened to block the bipartisan infrastructure bill if it's not passed, along with $3.5 trillion of budget reconciliation package, and she says she has more than enough progressive votes on the hill to block that bill. what do you think of that power play? >> well, i think we have this bipartisan package. the president supports it. the senate supports it. i'm part of a group, the problem solvers caucus, a bipartisan group that supports it. and so, in my experience, when you have a deal like that, you don't let it sit around. i just -- i think it reflects that there's not a ton of trust right now in washington. no one trusts the folks that they're negotiating with that something will hold. but i just live in a world where know that that package is really a once-in-a-generation level of investment in infrastrucre, and my district and my state needs that. so i want it done. >> are progressives like alexandria ocasio-cortez, by taking this posture, making it harder to actually get things done? >> well, look, i don't fault anybody, democrat

mike: your colleague alexandria ocasio-cortez said there's not a reconciliation bill in the house and if the senate does not pass the three and half trillion dollar reconciliation bill she insist the house will uphold their end of the bargain and not pass the bipartisan bill until they get all the investments in, it sounds like nothing is going to get done, is that possible. >> this is a process as you know one house out of two houses 535 members between both so we all have our opinion i agree with her in this case but i'm also understanding that this is a legislative process and i want to see what they pass out and then our will be a discussion. mike: the process is compromise which in recent years in washington has become a dirty word but if you got a bipartisan infra structure package to the president's desk when it that be a victory for everybody? >> yes and i believe in that i've been legislative at the state and local level and in congress for 30 years but it depends on what the compromises if you compromise 1 - 200 on either side that is a problem, that is a challenge to get so

pushback from progressives including alexandria ocasio-cortez, who i spoke to about this several days ago. she said sinema is threatening to nug both bills, the bipartisan infrastructure bill and the reconciliation bill by opposing a $3.5 trillion price tag which progressives view as a compromise already from the $6 trillion to $10 trillion figure they had wanted. >> sahil, can i just -- i want to hear, but what does she gain by doing that, sahil? >> there are a couple theories about this. and the most compelling one i have heard is that she's trying to grease the wheels for republicans on this bipartisan deal. there's a school of thought in the gop right now that if they advance this bipartisan infrastructure deal, it would make it easier for democrats to pass that big reconciliation bill, which conservatives are very determined to scuttle. there is another view which is that republicans should go along with the bipartisan deal, say they did something, say they're not just a party of no, and let democrats fight it out over the rec reconciliation bill. sinema seems to believe the republicans need an extra carrot to go along with the deal

congress woman alexandria ocasio-cortez says they have to see the $3 trillion reconciliation bill crossshe will vote for the infrastructure deal. democrats have the votes to oh bose this bipartisan infrastructure deal if the senate cannot get reconciliation through. right now democrats and republicans are working out how many amendments to accept and add on and consider for this bill. chuck schumer wants to rush the clock and get this deal done. but senate minority leader mitch mcconnell and other republicans want to bide their time. he wants to give his members a chance to change and amend the bill if they want. charles? >> charles: well, d.c. keeps spending and you keep paying. gas prices are rising over the weekend. this comes as clorox and kraft heinz set to report on high price spikes are impacting their bottom line. my next guest says all of this spending is not helping. dan, we've seen it with a lot of these other consumer staple companieses that reported their earnings. they said we're raising our prices. they're having no choice an consumers will have no choice but to pay them,

i want to play something for you that congresswoman cortez said yesterday sflp if there is not a reconciliation bill the house and if they don't pass, we will uphold our end of the bargain and not pass it until we get all of these in. >> do you take that as a threat? i have a hard time imagining how they are thwarting that. >> my job is to count votes in the senate. as a senator and someone intent on getting things done in the senate, i think about the house as well. it is a thin margin, three votes. so i take it very seriously. it is a bipartisan basis and when you think of it, they need everyone coming to the rescue. we don't have a lot of flex iblt here. >>. >> are you concerned about anything as close to that package when you get that far? >> i'm not going to predict how big they will be but they have shown a real interest to achieve a deal here. we want to keep that relationship with them. there will be give and take, that is the nature of election. >> i think do you think it was a mistake or should there be more congressional action on this? it is slow going out. what steps can and should the

i know progressives in the house including ocasio-cortez that said they're not going to support the bipartisan billthe larger bill makes it through as well. senator joe manchin said he's not making any promises. what do you think? if you had to handicap it, does it look like they're both going to make it as they stand right now? >> there's been a lot of investment in moving this infrastructure bill forward by not only the republicans, but the democrats have been working very hard on this. i think we want to get this to the finish line. we recognize to get this to the finish line, we have two pieces of legislation we have to get done. >> so you're confident they'll both make it at this point? >> look, there's a lot of obstacles along the way. you can never make definitive predictions in the united states senate, but i do believe we can get both of these bills done. we can get them done this year. we're certainly going to pass the budget resolution before we leave for august. leader schumer has made that very clear. so i am optimistic that we have a path forward that can really help the american peop

alexandria ocasio-cortez, your colleague in the house, made it clear that progressives may reject the bipartisan bills reconciliation bill is not advanced as well. she appeared on cnn this morning where she was asked how many progressives in the house support her stance. she said this. have a listen. >> i believe a very large amount of the progressive caucus, the total amount is about 90. you know, i'm not the whip of the progressive caucus, but what i can tell you is it's certainly more than three, and it is in the double digits absolutely. >> enough to prevent it from passing. >> more than enough. >> congresswoman omar, you are the whip of the congressional progressive caucus. how many progressives share aoc's stance? >> so we actually did the whip on this a little while ago, and a super majority of the progressive caucus supports simultaneously moving the bipartisan bill and reconciliation bill. we do not believe that there is a path forward for the bipartisan bill without a reconciliation bill that has core progressive priorities in it moving alongside it, getting a chance to pass. >> and you wou

bill. we're a long way from done here, this has still got to go to the house. we heard concerns from progressive wing of the house, specifically alexandria ocasio-cortez, over thewasn't big enough, doesn't do enough and it's going to be a challenge for speaker pelosi to hold together these widely different parts of her caucus, moderates and real liberals together going in the same direction to get it done and certainly we know the white house is keen on getting the two tracks done nearly simultaneously, the infrastructure bill and the reconciliation package democrats only. >>> coming up a democrat and republican are coming together with a request for president biden. they want him to appoint jeh johnson as border czar. we'll talk to him next on "morning joe." there's an america we build and one we explore. one that's been paved and one that's forever wild. but freedom means you don't have to choose just one adventure. you get both. introducing the wildly civilized all-new 3-row jeep grand cherokee l i've lost count of how many asthma attacks i've had. introducing the wildly civilized but my nunormal with nucala? fewer asthma attacks. nucala is a once-monthly ad

obviously not joe manchin, that was alexandria ocasio-cortez on cnn talking about her support in pairing the reconciliation with the infrastructure bill. but obviously joe manchin was on cbs' "face the nation" and i want to read for folks what it is he said when it comes to this pairing. he said we want to be done by thursday. we want to move on, okay. john dickerson says but it's not just the senate that speaks, the house also has a role. manchin says oh, yes, i know. i'm just saying it moves on from the senate. dickerson, but for it to become a law, it is linked up with this other piece of legislation, the budget bill. do you not see that it's linked together? and manchin says i have always believed that everything that should rise or fall on its own merits. does that worry you, congresswoman? >> it does worry me, but senator schumer has talked to the senate and they have apparently agreed to move the budget resolution forward. we need to make sure that we continue this process, because the reconciliation process takes quite a few steps. so we have many bites at the apple. and i certainly hope that senator manchin will see how criti
