graham: yeah. >> the cost is going to go up. now -- to the national debt. this bill is looking at 33. [indiscernible] these kinds of politics are unstoppable. sen. graham: the way to stop it is have the cbo score it and make an informed decision. if the american people want to support a $5 trillion bill, they need to be told it is $5 trillion. the largest spending bill in the history of the country, and they are trying to mask it to be $1.75 trillion. tax cuts, and 20 we passed tax cuts. we -- we believe that giving people back their money is a good thing. but this bill takes more money out of the economy, grows the government. i think it will be incredibly inflationary. as two tax cuts score, you cannot score beyond a 10 year window. we believe cutting back will stimulate the economy over time, create more jobs, but the cbo said you cannot go beyond the 10 year window. so in 2017, i think that cutting taxes jumpstarted the economy. we were doing well until covid. we have the vaccine now, and hopefully we can get our footing with the new variant, and keep the economy

cost of president biden social spending bill is not $1.5 trillion as advertised but a staggering work $.9 trillion. joining us now, south carolina senator grahamo socialism. it senator, welcome back. >> senator graham: thank you. >> chris: you commissioned the congressional budget office to see how much the build back better plan would cost, to go on for ten years. the cbo found instead of adding $200 billion to the deficit, it will add $3 trillion to the deficit. but senator, the white house says that's fake. if the programs are extended, they will find ways to pay for them. >> senator graham: give me a plan to pay for them done. president biden said the bill was paid for, vice president harris said it was paid for. nancy pelosi and chuck schumer, it's not paid for. it's $3 trillion of debt. what does this mean? the house should revote. the vote in the house was based on a fraud. it doesn't cost $1.75 trillion. it's $4.9 trillion. if this is paid for, i missed it. give it to me. give it to the american people. show us how you're paying for this bill. joe manchin came to me and he said i think this bill is full of gimmicks. these programs will

graham: no. >> would you be supportive of republicans if they take back the majority and the bill goes into effect put something into this program in order to prevent this? sen. graham: i'm supportive of fiscal sanity. i'm not opposed to working with democrats to spend money in difficult times. we spent almost $4 trillion because covid was a real problem. there is unspent money in covid programs. the democrats passed a bill not long ago of $1.9 trillion by themselves. so the bipartisanship has fallen apart. it's not about covid, it's about taking the crisis and trying to do the liberal wish list. this is a dream moment for the left. they are trying to see is the economic moment. the problems with covid. and grow the government the way they have wanted to do for 50 years. we have called them out. cbo, wharton, and a bipartisan budget group exposed the fraud. so yes, i will work with democrats to try to find a way to lower inflation. the worst thing you can do for inflation is passed a bill that makes it harder to create american energy. that is what build back better would do in its cur

bill that anybody is voting on. this is a ask request by senator graham to score a bill that is not currently being debated but it's important to understand when anyone raises a question about this new cbo score, it is a fake score about a bill that doesn't exist and we should really focus on the actual bill everyone is going to vote on and considering in congress right now. >> sean: jen psaki is lying as per usual. the true cost of build back better socialism is monumental, not fully paid for it. we've been lied to, not even close and according to two of barack obama's top economic advisors, this bill would cause inflation to spike even more. lindsey graham said it's like pouring gasoline on it. joining us now, south carolina senator lindsey graham. first of all, i was mad at you over the infrastructure bill, i'm not as mad as i was, so we don't always agree but you rightly demanded no accounting gimmicks, you rightly demanded it be scored accurately, the democrats always said the cbo is the gold standard and when you get to the real numbers, 5.1 trillion, 3 trillion to the deficit. we been lied to the whole time.

what your talking about is a fake score that is not based on the bill that everybody is talking about. this is a request by senator graham to score a bill that is not currently being debated. that is her prerogative to do. our focus is now on the existing bill that will lower the deficit and pay for the $2 trillion tax cuts that republicans did not pay for. they are welcome for that. i would say that to your question, the president has conveyed very clearly that he would like president -- like this to be paid for. but this is a fake score about a bill that does not exist. we should really focus on the actual bill everyone is going to vote on and considering in congress right now. >> is vice president harris still in charge of addressing the root causes of migration from el salvador, honduras and guatemala? >> yes and she is announcing a commitment this afternoon. >> why has she not spoken to the president of guatemala since june? sec. psaki: i did see this strange report from the president of guatemala saying that he has had no contact with the white house which is inaccurate. >> he said president harris. he has not spok

evaluation has nothing to do with the bills back better plan claiming the fake scores about an entirely different issue. senator lindsey graham said he asked the cbo to evaluate that bill. here's what he said on hannity. >> i asked the cbo to look at the bill to see if it had budget gimmicks, the 17 program stay in place the bill never go away, it was $5 trillion, the bill on the floor is a lie. todd: democrat still hopeful they will push the embattled spending over the line as the year comes to a close but a long road ahead if they think of that. carley: it is almost christmas. that is when this is going down. the times 11 minutes after the hour. gone in an instant, kentucky family after a tornado flattens the restaurant that has been in their family for 75 years. todd: but they are not giving up and are ready to rebuild. we talked to one of the owners next. ♪♪ it's my 4:05 the-show-must-go-on migraine medicine. it's ubrelvy. for anytime, anywhere migraine strikes, without worrying if it's too late, or where i am. one dose can quickly stop my migraine in its tracks within two hours. unlike older medicines, ubrelvy is a pill

bill is quote, dead, not just for 2021, but forever. how hard will it be to rebuild that momentum among democrats? >> reporter: well i don't think senator grahamurse he will say it is dead. he may be right. we'll see. but building momentum is going to be i challenge. but democrats have, you know, really the only thing that has united them both sides of the party, the progressives and moderates is republican opposition. so they want to get something accomplished and they know the window is extraordinarily narrow in the new year. it is viewed right now as a lost opportunity. yes, the majorities are super tight but they're not getting by netter for sure so momentum is one thing that they'll have to build here but i think it is too early to say that it is dead for sure. there are a lot of popular items inside of this bill that a lot of democrats would like to see passed. of course the burden is on president biden to coral all of these varying divisions in the party. >> he's trying. >> from the beginning the problem has been that the parts are greater than the sum. parts of the bill, the elements are very popular, the size of it, and the -- the deb

bill, that anybody is voting on. this is a ask request by senator graham to score a bill that is not currently being debated.tand that when you, when anybody raises a question about this new cbo score, it is a fake score about a bill that doesn't exist. elizabeth: okay. another fastball being whipped by the american people. 15 or 17 of those programs, majority of them likely will become permanent because that what has been going on since the '50s in d.c. you float an entitlement, it becomes cemented in stone. your reaction. >> as milton friedman said there is more permanent than a temporary federal program, liz. that is exactly what is going on here. what the press secretary is saying is the exact opposite of the truth yet again. the budget gimmicks they put in the bill to get the number down below 2 trillion were taken out. that is what lindsey graham asked to be done, scored along the same length of time the pay fors were scored. when he does that, you get a 3 trillion-dollar addition to our national debt. that is 10% of the current debt that is way too high. this is ridiculous argument the white house is

we heard that opposition from senator graham to the build back better plan. where does the billr graham definitely is not alone in his opposition from mines. all republicans have made it very clear that they're united in their opposition against the legislation. so that's why all eyes have been on democrats, specifically senate democrats with that 5050 threshold. and so president biden did say today that he will be having a conversation with one of the biggest naysayers, i guess you could say in the next couple days. moderate senator joe mansion to try to get him on board to make sure that this could potentially advance will see what happens. jesse, thank you so much. the supreme court is saying texas's restrictive abortion law can stay. >> but some lawsuits against it can proceed. that really came down earlier today texas law allows private citizens to sue anyone connected to an abortion performed after 6 weeks reproductive rights advocates are saying this could indicate how the court will rule on other abortion cases. >> he's couldn't be higher not only for women and people in

came out and slammed the report as a fake report, it doesn't really reflect the truth of the bill and graham commissioned that report as if all of the programs in the bill were permanent. and so that is exactly what senator manchin has been saying. that's exactly what his fear has been. and you can say he definitely bought that report, he certainly didn't think it was fake. and so he's been saying that every single day. listen, if we're going to do programs in this bill, we need to make sure their targeted because we need to make sure the true cost is reflected in the end. and that is actually something he said this morning on fox news. and something interesting that bernie sanders hit back, he called him out for being the reason why the child tax credit is going to expire, for being the reason why all of these programs that you just said are popular, either won't make it in, the american people won't get it, or they'll expire and run out at the end of the year for existing programs like the ctc. all of this right now is really coming to a head as both of these sides are really up in arms ab

>> that's senator graham's talking about a bill that a we did not pass., the build back better act that passed out of the house and is in the hands of the senate right now, it creates jobs, it lowers expenses on things like prescription drugs and health care insurance, and it cuts taxes, you know, for families with little kids. it's a huge tax cut for the middle class. and nobody will pay more in taxes who makes less than $400,000. not only that, it's going to create jobs, mike. we're talking about 1 is.5 million -- 1.5 million jobs other the next ten years. can you imagine 15 million jobs? nbá/ there is he's creating what we call a strawman, and that's when you make up the argument for the other side. and what he's doing is he's making up what the build back better plan would be if they extended all of the programs that are in it indefinitely. in fact, these programs sunset. for example, child credit, that sunsets after another year. he's assuming it doesn't. so he's making up a bill and then having it scored. look, mike, our lives are short enough. we d

cyberflashing is one of the issues that campaigners hope will be addressed by the bill. graham in that moment was so unnerving, that somebody was able to send me these quite horrendous unsolicited images. elle is sent naked images on most every day. she has more than 800,000 followers on instagram page. she posts fitness workouts. unfortunately, i do receive unsolicited pictures of genitals daily. i wouldn't leave my house for a week at one stage because this person that had been sending the images constantly and making new accounts found out where i lived. and they were saying they knew where i ran in the morning. they knew what floor i was on in my building. it's just really, really scary, because you don't know where it's going to go. and the fact it isn't illegal, blows my mind. cyberflashing is remarkably common especially among teenagers. one recent study found 76% of girls aged 12 to 18 had been sent unsolicited naked images. aged 12 to 18 had been sent today's report by a group of mp5 says what's illegal offline should become fully regulated online, and specifically say

bill that anybody is voting on. this is a ask request by senator graham to score a bill that is not currently being debated. prerogative to do but what our focus is on is on the existing bill that will lower the deficit, that will also over an additional 10 years pay for the $2 trial tax cuts that republicans didn't pay for. they're welcome for that. >> harris: she is trying to talk above our heads. let's see if it work marsha [burn. what was she telling about. are there two different bills and what's the story? >> there is one bill. she knows that. but once again, harris, jen psaki is wrong because this bill is not paid for. it is $3 trillion in debt that we know is going to be added onto our nation's debt and our children are going to have to pay for this. another thing, it is not 1.75 trillion in costs, if you say okay, we're going to pay for each year of these programs. not take 10 years of taxes and pay for one year of program. then the true cost of the bill is nearly $5 trillion. so what this does is bring some sunlight to this discussion. the bill is not paid for. the bill adds to the federal debt. i

we're in, we're under a hyper collapse here, but yet we focused on ever, graham, the china just use the local governments to bill amount. some people, especially the foreigners, are probably going to lose debt. never graham may not will, cannot continue. you know, as it is today, as well as the whole property sector, but what's going on in the clamp down and chinese company does really in fighting between c p c families. and that's what the western me don't understand. that's why the wrong every time. that's a take a look at that again on the big coin situation. people like in the china shutting down the big coin mining as the 2nd biggest mistake that made it 500 years after the kick burned down, their treasure. fleet, under the main dynasty, you know, i think about what happened in the 1980s with the u. s. and japan, right at that time japan was about to take over. it was the japan, the can say no. every op ed piece was about jap, japan style of management, and manufacturing was going to eclipse the u. s. it was a foregone conclusion. that what they did actually the internet, japan, because it's conformist soci

bill that anybody is voting on. this is a ask request by senator graham to score a bill that is not currently being debated.t will lower the deficit, that will also over an additional 10 years pay for the $2 trillion tax cuts that republicans didn't pay for. they are welcome for that. >> bret: juan, first part, probably accurate on the scoring. second part questionable if you just listen to what brit set and what manchin is talking about. >> yeah, i think that's right. the thing about it is the first part of what she said about, you know, this being something that -- what's being scored is not what is being voted on absolutely right. then she raises the specter of the fact that republicans under president trump passed a bill that they didn't pay for. i think all of this is back and forth. and i think that people watching from outside of washington should be know that ultimately, i think, what you are going to get is something paired down that manchin can support. because these proposals, things like universal pre-k. the tax cuts for working class people, dealing with climate change, child care, these are po

response was, you know, his senator, president trump's best friend in the senate, lindsey graham, lindsey voted for the bill when it passed 69-30. had we taken it up then in august, most observers think we would have had 40 to 60 republicans that would have voted for the bill. trump was against it. he said he had a better bill. his bill was more expensive, no pay-fors and got people to get off the wagon to get this bill done. it was held hostage then by the progressives in the congress. they tried to get the build back better plan attached to this. ultimately failed, which is why they voted against the bipartisan bill at the end of the day. for us, people that helped write it, the actual blueprint, particularly in the problem solvers caucus, we won't get a -- we knew it had to pass. again, in my district, everyone knows about flint, michigan and the lead in their water line. the very next week i was out with a crew in my district replacing lead waterlines. this bill has $15 billion in it to try and help communities across the country. but whether it's ports or bridges, highways, broadband, all those things

the hopes of passing social spending and climate bills this year seem to be out the window which is fine. south carolina lindsay grahams the biden agenda swimming. >> i think build back better is forever. joe manchin has said he's not going to vote for a bill to add to the deficit. if you do away with budget gimmicks, build back better ads $3 trillion to the deficit. he doesn't want to vote for a bill that makes inflation more. kennedy: i don't blame him. his build back better about to go on the shredder? here to discuss, juan williams. welcome back. >> is my fruitcake on the way for christmas? [laughter] kennedy: i just pulled out of the oven, it has to call. be ready and i hope your tummy is not to fall. let's talk about this, how do you solve a problem like joe manchin? he is not wrong, his "issue is" not with child tax credit that expires after year and he knows when to give something like that to working families, you have to keep giving it to them which means the cost of the bill goes way up so he's not wrong about but he's vilifying as if he hates children. >> that is not fair to joe manchin, i don't see any in

because joe manchin came to me and said i think this bill is full of gimmicks. jonathan: lindsey grahamf south carolina. from new york city this morning, good morning. lisa abramowicz, caroline hyde, jonathan ferro. tk back with us for fed decision day and a couple of days. up about 10 on the s&p 500 and up 0.3% on the nasdaq 100. another 2% higher on the s&p. senator lindsey graham saying this is a one-two punch to build back better. he was was bonding to inflation -- he was responding to the inflation printed america. lisa: the one-two punch might just be that democrats can't get on the same page on anything. the fact that we are still talking about salt deductions, capital gains taxation, how much this gets applied, this tells you what you need to know for 2021 passage. jonathan: it is all in the sentence there for senator lindsay graham, a republican senator invoking the words of, cap. -- of a democrat. lisa: inflation is going to be probably one of, if not the key debate issue when we head into the 2022 midterms. jonathan: emily wilkins joins us of bloomberg government and washingt

my sponsor was, his senator, president trump's best friend in the senate, lindsey graham, lindsay voted for the bill when it passed 69-30. had we taken it up then, in august, most observers think we would have had 40-60 republicans who voted for the bill. trump was against it, said he had a better bill, this bill was too expensive, and that got people off the wagon to get this bill done. but it was held hostage by progressives in the congress. they tried to get the build back better than attached to this and failed, which is why they voted against the bipartisan bill. but for us, people that helped write it, the actual blueprint, particularly the problem solvers caucus, we were not going to back off for a need we knew had passed. in my district, everyone knows about flint, michigan, the lead in the water lines. the next week, i was out with a crew in my district replacing led waterlines. this bill has $15 billion in it to try to help communities across the country, whether it is ports, ridges, broadband, all those things we considered as real infrastructure needs and needed to be done which is why ,

senators durbin and graham introduced a bill.re and if they can't get it through, what does it tell us? >> republicans have left the table as rational, reasonable actors on this. they're more interested in using immigration as a political weapon against democrats. they said as much many times. this is why it's up to democrats to actually pass immigration reform and pass protections for dreamers and other undocumented communities. and there's not only strong public support for dreamers. there's strong public support for the vs. majority of undocumented workers and people living in our country. 70% to 08 % of americans support this. this is something that politically makes sense. it makes sense for our economy. providing a path for citizenship for undocumented communities would add $1.5 trillion to our economy over ten years. it would raise wages for all americans. and it would actually increase federal, state, and local tax revenue. so there's a lot of reasons to get this done. and we cannot wait for this issue to continue to be u

changed his style to look a bit more presidential has been re calibrating his, you know, graham down to those that was billed to him as in rat. oh, well, he's not the only one who has been significantly tweaking his profile. former congressman cast is an old school ultraconservative catholic, who opposes abortion and same sex marriage. his motto is, make chilly. great. again. he would expel undocumented migrants and his position on climate change is lukewarm. he would maintain chillies, unbridled free market model, and lower taxes have big business. but in recent weeks, he's reconsidered, allowing the military to make arrests without a warrant during the state of emergency cast. biggest drawing card is, has promised to restore law and order money to effect what is still the most needs is security, but this was a peaceful country. there anyone could walk around as when our get now it's not safe anywhere. cast represents the return of public order and respect for us our teach what each the hope that dreams of social justice can come. true symphony anthem blue malay laws, since her different models confronts ea
