debbie stabenow, senator gary peters, congressman debbie dingell who is automobiles and dan kill made-- i remind the michigan delegation of this, it used to be when i first got elected, i used to tell your husband this as well, we had a higher percentage of autoworkers in delaware then any state in the union including michigan. now, the fact we had a small population -- [laughter] and we had almost 100,000 autoworkers in our state. but i want to be very straightforward. uaw wrong -- brung me to the dance, as they say. and i know we are missing someone truly special, a dear friend of all of us, senator carl leavenworth who passed away last week. carl and i served together for 30 years in the u.s. senate. i think all my colleagues will attest to this, he was one of the most honorable, decent people that i have ever known. he was a tireless champion of the american worker. the iconic automobile industry. he embodied everything that his beloved michigan and our country represents. respect, dignity, pride. pride in the nation and pride in what we build. today, labor and industry, state and

joining me now is senator debby stabenow of michigan, a democrat. senator, thank you for joining us first tonight. let me go to this, senator stabenow, because it appears that this infrastructure plan is advancing legislatively. is it fair to say that former president trump's effort to bring down the bipartisan deal fell mostly upon deaf ears among republicans signaling his waning influence on capitol hill? is that fair to say? >> well, first of all, reverend al, it's always great to be with you. it's been i think over 100 -- 1b had been 655 days and counting when president trump first had infrastructure week. remember that? and it never happened. so it has happened under president biden and this bipartisan effort in the senate. and, frankly, donald trump has had no impact on this whatsoever. i have not heard anybody say -- well, i shouldn't say that. there might be a couple of folks, maybe, that have been worried about this. we have a new member, senator haggerty that's slowed this process down significantly, and i don't know how much donald trump'

incentives for consumers to buy clean vehicles, union made in america, like the ones championed by debbie stabenowin the senate, which provides a basic credit, $2500 credit for vehicles made in america and an additional $2500 credit for union made vehicles. that means spurring demand. think about the government's fleet of vehicles, we have a lot of vehicles, 60,000. turning them into an all american-made, clean vehicles. so that is what we will do as we roll out and get rid of the existing fleet, we will support the electric transit system as well. and the electric school bus system. look, there is one other thing we have in our playbook that will help us compete with other nations, the american worker. [applause] the american worker. i really believe this, and i know that you guys do, too. we are the ace in the deck. many of you watching at home are like the folks that grew up with me and straighten, in delaware, they feel left out in an economy that is rapidly changing. i understand. but we are going to leave no one behind. nearly 90% of the jobs created in our infrastructure plan do not require

i'm sure, representative kathy castor, you know, and the michigan delegation that's here today, debbie stabenowdingell who is automobiles -- [laughter] and dan kildee. but i want you all to know, i remind the michigan delegation of this. it used to be when i was, first got elected, i used to tell your husband in this as well, we hada higher percentage of autoworkers in delaware than any state in the union including, including michigan. now, the fact that we had a very small population -- [laughter] and we had almost 100,000 autoworkers in our state had something to do with it. but i, i just want to be very straightforward, you know? uaw bring me to the dance, as they say. and i also know, and this is someone truly special, senator carl levin, who passed away last week. carl and i served together for 30 years in the united states senate together. he was one of the most -- i think all to my colleagues who knew him will attest to this, one of the most honorable people, most decent people i not only served with, but i've ever known. he was a tireless champion for the american worker, and the iconic

senator debbie stabenow of the state of michigan. we always appreciate your time. >>> coming up, it was the bombshell that set off the first impeachment of donald trump and it had life-changing repercussions for the man to reported it. alexander vindman will be right with me in the studio after this. this age before beauty? why not both? visibly diminish wrinkled skin in... crepe corrector lotion... only from gold bond. do you have a life insurance policy you no longer need? now you can sell your policy, even a term policy, for an immediate cash payment. call coventry direct to learn more. we thought we had planned carefully for our retirement. but we quickly realized that we needed a way to supplement our income. our friends sold their policy to help pay for their medical bills and that got me thinking. maybe selling our policy could help with our retirement. i'm skeptical, so i did some research and called coventry direct. they explained life insurance is a valuable asset that can be sold. we learned that we can sell all of our pol

senator debbie stabenow of michigan. we'll keep in close touch with her and the senate as she called the legislative sausage making is going. >> this friday marks seven months since the deadly january 6th insurrection. the further we move away from the date, the further republicans are moving away from the reality of what happened on that day. in the days after a violent mob attacked the nation's capitol, republicans overwhelmingly blamed the ex-president for what happened, and some top gop officials even discussed cutting ties with him completely. well, that moment of introspection didn't last that long. we're seeing republicans increasingly attempting to rewrite the narrative and cloud that day in a haze of partisan conspiracy theories. a new analysis scribes some of the republicans this way. no longer content to absolve mr. trump, they have concocted events where they were patriotic, political prisoners, and speaker nancy pelosi was responsible for the ce this vow is signaling a new low for republicans. it's potential

. >>> joining me is michigan senator debbie stabenow. senator, you're in the room where it happens, obviously not this second, but i'm sure you'll return after your interview. what can you expect today and when do you think final passage will happen? >> it's great to be with you. i'm going to go look for that pizza. let me just start by saying that what we're doing is passing, in total, when we get done, president biden's build back better plan. two parts, infrastructure, which we're doing now, and as senator schumer said, easy way, hard way, doesn't matter, we're going to stay until it's done, period. the second is the budget. what i'm excited about there is this is where we're focusing on americans to cut the costs that keep them up at night, extend the biggest tax cut for american families, create jobs while we're tackling the climate crisis, and we're going to pay for all of it by making sure the wealthy pay their fair share. so i'm very excited about getting all of this done. >> where do the negotiations stand right now on specifica

, ali velshi dives into the latest on the bipartisan infrastructure negotiations with senator debbie stabenowndaire jones of new york. he's also going to get into the latest on the january 6th committee with congressman pete aguilar of california. that's 8 am eastern. my great-great-grandmother, my great-grandfather, great-great-grandfather was that kind of person. he looked after his community. she built an empire. he protected this nation. they lived their lives in extraordinary ways. with ancestry, i learned the story of peter vaughters... william lacy... madam c.j.walker. they are the heroes in my family. who are the heroes in yours? your mission: stand up to moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. and take. it. on... with rinvoq. rinvoq a once-daily pill can dramatically improve symptoms... rinvoq helps tame pain, stiffness, swelling. and for some, rinvoq can even significantly reduce ra fatigue. that's rinvoq relief. with ra, your overactive immune system attacks your joints. rinvoq regulates it to help stop the attack. rinvoq can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuber

listen for example to debbie stabenow last hour with our colleague. >> we know the final outcome is goingbe, i believe, that votes are there for this. certainly the american people have waited long enough for infrastructure week! so we are -- you know, at this point i don't see what the republicans that are objecting gain other than if they just don't want to see the president succeed and they don't want to see us address the problems that the american people want us to tackle. >> reporter: joe, she is right about one thing. i have been covering infrastructure weeks in washington for years now. this is certainly -- and you can feel it on both sides as you talk to sources. this is certainly as close as they have gotten to actually getting something done on infrastructure. so, really, it is a matter of an artificial clock on this process right now. there is a fast way to do it, there's a slower way to do it that could likely stretch into next week. really, the only clock they're coming up against, joe, is the fact they're supposed to go on recess in the senate next week. really it is up to

i am joined from debbie stabenow and gary peters, both senators from michigan. i ask that the statement be placed in the record. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. durbin: thank you, mr. president. i note the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: the presiding officer: the republican whip is recognized. mr. thune: is the senate in a quorum call? the presiding officer: we are. mr. thune: i ask unanimous consent that the quorum call be lifted. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. thune: mr. president, in the time that i've been in the congress, which includes six years in the house of representatives and now in my 17th year in the senate, i have been a part of or witness to or voted on numerous spending proposals and appropriation bills and tax bills and deficit reduction bills and debit limit increasing bills. and i don't believe i have seen in my time in the congress a spending bill where democrats didn't want to spend more and republicans wanted to spend less. and maybe that's consistent with
