joining me now is senate majority whip dick durbin joining me from illinois. for joining me. so as you well know, top democrats are floating $2.1 trillion as a potential compromise. but it would still require you to scale back significantly. you just heard congresswoman jayapal tell me $1.5 trillion won't do. it's too small. that's where senator manchin is right now. so how do you get from where senator manchin and senator sinema are, $1.5 trillion, to a deal with progressives? >> dana, let me tell you i support the $3.5 trillion. i believe the elements have been stated over and over again. they're good for this country and needed for families and by our nation, but i'm a realist, too. i went through the affordable care act, and you remember that debate ten or 11 years ago where i we made concessions, and i think those concessions lead to a different number. i want to make sure we come up with the right result, not the biggest number, but the most effective number to help families and this economy move forward in a responsible way. >> what do you think that nu

that is the leadership of senator dick durbin. understanding this was a failure, that the policy did not achieve its intended purpose. d in fact it's the opposite, dick durbin led this body toward the long process. i was proud when i got into senate,ot senator durbin told me the story how we got up from 101 down to 18 -- one for it is not necessarily based on science. it is not necessarily based on law enforcement evidence. it was a negotiation between senator durbin and other republican colleagues senator durbin pushed for what were asking for right now. was able to negotiate down from 101, 18 -- one. and so what i would like to do is read real quick the research that looked at cocaine use right before this bill was first passed up until 2013. i want to quote, despite harsher penalties for crack compared to powder cocaine there is no decrease following the implementation of the sentencing policy both powder, cocaine, the use and misuse of prescription drugs. the reports and findings suggest minimum sentencing may not be effective

listen to dick durbin. >> when the president was teergt on the precipice of whether or not he was goingmove the acting attorney general jeffrey rosen and replace him with jeffrey clarke, it was cipollone who spoke up that said what they were trying to achieve was a murder-suicide pact and that the president should not do that. >> think about the january 6th committee on the house side trying to go deeper into the facts here. the president's lawyer had to turn to him and say, sir, i will resign and a whole bunch of people here and at the justice department will resign if you do not back down. it took that to stop donald trump. >> yeah, exactly. these are the kind of details that this panel is hoping town earth, this and more. there's still not a full story that we have of what preceded this deadly attack on the capitol and what built up to the moment. what was the president doing, saying and doing in these days and weeks ahead of time so that's what we're hoping to hear more about, especially today with the deadline approaching on the subpoenas. >> the former president issuing a statemen

many think it has hurt him and his popularity dick durbin says democrats haven't done a good job. they need to change that in the closing pitch, so this is biden's closing pitch as he goes to scrantop for his agenda. it's going to be about the fact that he is going to argue that it's for working families as opposed to for wall street. it's tieing back to his campaign, one of his mannas was scranton versus park avenue. he is talking about that not about january 6th. >> monica, i want to pick up something holly just said about the dick durbin criticism, they haven't sold the president's agenda well enough. we talked about, have they leaned in hard enough with the public, in general. we know where the activists are, the elected officials are, does the white house acknowledge they've struggled here on messaging? >> i think it's a part of the challenge and something they pushed back open. i believe they can when they can make this messaging they believe very clear, but, obviously, just looking at the infrastructure agenda, we don't even know what's exactly going to be in it. out of it.

look, so dick durbin, senate judiciary chair's committee put out an interim report on its investigationormer president tried to get the justice department to do before the insurrection, nine times, basically trying to overthrow the election. dick durbin, he told me, i think you too yesterday, jake, we were half a step away from a constitutional crisis. the other way of looking at that is we're still a half step away or even closer to a constitutional crisis because of how that day and that period is now being perceived or discussed or addressed in some circles. when you look at this now, jake, what do you see? >> i mean, i see that there is an anti-democracy movement that has taken -- that is led by donald trump. and you are either trying to preserve democracy in the united states. or you're not. and if you're a -- in the news media or a politician, and, you know, what chuck grassley said, he said basically, you know, i'm paraphrasing here, you know, they talked about completely trying to stage a coup, but they didn't actually do it. so it is not a big deal. that's complicity. and i rem

host: we heard as far as the immigration portion the parliamentarian pushback with dick durbin and others saying they would approach it in other ways is there a sense of what those ways might be quick. >> yes. senator schumer and urban have said this also walking some of that back it would be tough to find a way around because they did try to go back and find another way a path for citizenship and different order provisions and different laws of how the crackdown on the border is being handled. and as of now it looks very difficult anything the senator from california as well has been very involved in this fight and increasingly they are trying to get creative but at least from my conversation with senator durbin those working on part of the package they are feeling less confident on —- less confident they can do it this is where they gather some of the folks that are very much focused on immigration and then to see a meeting between them to see what they can come up with they are being a little less confident in their strategy. >> good morning i haven't heard anybody talk about the view.

we heard from senator dick durbin a short time ago after the meeting started. he said i wish i could say yes but there's a grel oat deal of uncertainty in the caucus. he was asked if they're all on board and he couldn't say yes. how does that play into what the president is expected to say in the meeting? >> reporter: nobody can say yes to that question about manchin and sinema given how much they have indulged the veto power they have given the fact that democrats have zero margin for error, must hold all 50 senators. they have not subsumed their own interest to those of the democratic team, but joe biden is rolling the dice, saying this is what we've got. he's trying to convey confidence to democrats that they are going to go along. he's doing it by trying to emphasize what is in this bill. everybody has been talking about what has come out since his original request of $3.5 trillion. they've lost things like two years of free community college. they've lost paid leave from the plan. that's been a long-standing democratic priority. on the pay-for side, they l

joining us now, chairman of the judiciary committee, democratic majority whip senator dick durbin of t sure most americans are familiar with. who is he exactly and what did you find he did in the days around january 6th and in that attempt to overturn the election? >> jeffrey clark played an out-sized role in the effort of the president of the united states to overturn the results of the last election. i don't know how he came on the scene originally. we think it might have been through a pennsylvania republican congressman. he was head of the civil division in the department of justice, and the acting attorney general at the time, jeffrey rosen, and his deputy attorney general richard o'donoghue noticed all of a sudden his name was popping up in conversations with the white house. and he was making statements to people about what the department of justice should do. certainly not within his responsibilities as head of the civil division. ultimately, he became the choice of the president, donald trump, to replace jeffreytrump, to replace jeffrey rosen and rosen and donahue resisted th

dick durbin wanted to know what the number is. chuck schumer was sitting on that number four weeks. host: given his stance and the stance of the progressive members in the caucus, is it likely that the one trillion dollar package already passed by the senate will come to a vote today in the house? guest: i think there is no chance of that. nancy pelosi is making a good show of it. she promised the centrists she would have a vote on the infrastructure bill by september 27. ultimately, she doesn't want to have a vote that's going to fail and embarrass the president. votes aren't there. that was clear yesterday. it was clear they were not going to materialize. the person who is been so clear on this was very clear in talking to reporters. we progressives are not going to vote for this until this infrastructure package until the reconciliation passes the senate. no one is taking any promises from them that this may get done at a later date. that means the infrastructure package isn't going anywhere. pelosi can only afford three defections in her caucus if the republicans vote in lockste

senator dick durbin said we know but we're going to try again. they're throwing everything at the wall. but big things that people expected and wanted in like democrats have run for years on lowering prescription drug prices. that won't be a part of the bill. people said we're got to have it or we're not doing it. it's not in there. the president did his interesting whisper thing with his pay your fair share. pay you fair share. according to the irs a nonpartisan group, top 5% pay 60% of income taxes. that's up to the american people whether they think that is enough. >> greg: that's all they rely on, pay your fair share. it's not going to work. people at the internet know what people are paying. geraldo went to visit the pope. what do you think of the pope? you know him. you hang out with him. you have dinner with him. >> i like the pope. i'm half catholic. >> greg: there's no such a thing. >> i am half catholic. i feel fully catholic and fully jewish. if you don't understand that, you don't understand your colleague. what disappoints me here is

here is senator dick durbin. >> but you ought to pay some taxes. if you can build rockets and take your friends up for a little shot into space, shouldn't you pay a few bucks in taxes? i don't think it's unream. ununreasonable. same thing true for corporations. look at the most profitable corporations in america too darn many of them pay no taxes. what's going on here? >> bret: is that attractive politically, senator. >> obviously been working for the democrats for a long time it's simply just not true which is that people pay taxes and the higher income people in america as you know pay a higher share of their income in taxes as they should. as a matter of fact, we are one of the most progressive, meaning one of the most highly taxed high income people in the world plunge developed nations. corporations pay taxes on income. follow the rules and report the income consistent with those rules and pay taxes if they have a profit. if they don't have a profit, they don't have a tax. so, these are obviously diversionary things and the reality is that peo

. >> reporter: well, christine, there is high anxiety as senator dick durbin told reporters yesterdayom the fact that lawmakers and the white house really want be to see these negotiations come to an end. they want to see these senate holdouts, senator manchin, senator kirsten sinema come to the table and agree on the president's sweeping economic agenda. lawmakers see president biden as kind of the conduit, the person that can bring that kind of closure to the table, can bring them in, because at the end of the day, christine, this is president biden's agenda, right? and it is his administration and his legacy that is on the line if this sweeping social safety net and expansion and bipartisan package do not get passed. so really this week, the fight over his agenda is crystallized in kind of this rift between senator bernie sanders and senator manchin, but on manchin's climate stance. you said he pushed back reportedly on the president's clean energy program, really the cornerstone climate policy of the president's agenda. so senator sanders took out an op-ed in manchin's west virgin

dick durbin says he believes you can get a deal by this week.nently. do you believe that? >> i'm talking to a lot of folks and i agree with all them. we're incredibly close. what is clear is that we need to vote this week. we got to vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill this week. there is no reason to hold it up anymore. it passed out of the senate in early august. all i do at home is hear we got to get people to work, president biden was in new jersey yesterday at the train depot to get kicked off the huge infrastructure project between new york and new jersey, a train tunnel, stressing the importance of getting it done. i think we all agree we have to move here and we're very close on the social infrastructure bill, on the build back better bill and now we just got to get both over the finish line. >> okay. to be fair, we had you on a month ago, september 22 nd, you deadline, skeptember 27th. >> given the conversations i had then, i was optimistic and himself i'm an optimistic person, somebody who believes we have to get this done. what

. >> i want to play something from one of the top democrats, senator dick durbin describing the peoplet are supposed to be the subject of this memo, here is how he described them. >> these are not routine people incensed and angry, these are people who are acting out of their feelings in a violent manner over and over again. the same people we see on airplanes and other places, some of whom we saw on january 6th. >> shannon: what do you of that characterization? >> it is so inappropriate for them to categorize individuals, parents that are showing up at school board meetings and classify them as domestic terrorists. of course, attorney general garland was involved in the oklahoma city bombing, in that case. working through that process, that is why i brought up to him timothy mcveigh and terry nichols, because to say there is harassment, that there is intimidation, there is threats of violence but then to not be able to articulate any of those, it led to what we saw as being incomplete answers that frustrated attorney general's. someone who was confused, giving political answers instea

dick durbin said it's quote high anxiety among senate democrats right now. >> we know senator manchin. he didn't like it when vice president harris did it through local interviews and didn't like it when senator sanders published the op-ed in a local paper. how is senator manchin responding. >> he pushed back in a statement saying no op-ed from a self-declared democratic socialist is going to change his opposition to supporting quote reckless spending. when i caught up with joe manchin earlier toaday i asked him about bernie sanders calling him out. >> what we've done and what we continue to do for this country. and i want to make sure i respect it properly. >> he said you're holding up the biden agenda. >> there's 52 senators who don't agree, and there's two who want to work something out if possible, in a rational, reasonable way. >> the only thing they want us to do is pay $150 billion for what's already happening and to give utility clients $150 billion for what's already transitioning. we've trarnsitioned. >> reporter: what he's referring to is the provision that would provide $1

at the very end of it, it was described as a back and forth and dick durbin, the chairman of the senate judiciary committee said let the record reflect the attorney general refused to answer the question. matt. >> yeah. this is a real concern. the threat that the f.b.i. is going to come in and coupled with local law enforcement in order to chill free speech at these school boards. it is an allocation of resources. if the f.b.i. is paying attention to school board meetings they're not paying attention to other things like international terrorism, violent crime and those types of things. this is something the attorney general does not need to stake out this position where federal law enforcement is going to stand shoulder to shoulder with local law enforcement policing these school board meetings. >> harris: it is hard to believe he would go there when they've already circumvented law enforcement on the ground. they've already said -- look, it was approached during this hearing and we'll be getting back in a moment when they come back to break for those of you just joining "the faulkner f

. >> well look, what -- is not between joe manchin and say, dick durbin, the choices between joe manchingoing to be allowed to do -- the other republican senator from west virginia look like a marxist. this is what donald trump's best -- i think they -- my politics are changed, -- but, he voted for impeachment twice. if you look at the actual vote study cast, he supported the biden agenda and votes cast so far 100 percent. so, the democratic party, i think, really the party that has to saved american democracy here. and the big stuff is going to be remembered, you're not gonna remember in 20 years if it was a 3.5 bill or 2.5 bill. you will remember if it 2024 was the last election that resembled anything close to democracy. i think this party needs to embrace people like joe manchin, they ought to be able to elect joe manchin instate cycle iowa. -- i think that that diversity, is difficult but i think it's really important. look, other than having a democrat like joe manchin representing joe west virginia -- >> thank you for name checking, nostalgically so. -- you guys always make us --
