discussions continue with the house, senate and white house to reach a bicameral framework agreement to buy back a reconciliation bill and they tell me there won't be a vote tonight. the president you see there remains in the west wing, getting updates from his team. this is all up in the air, nobody knows what's going to happen. we don't know now. we're getting information from our sources, from our reporters and producers and correspondents on capitol hill. the clock is ticking. the speaker is saying she'll only bring that bill to the floor if she has the votes to pass it. progressives are saying she doesn't have the votes to pass it. president biden's own party threatening to blow up his domestic agenda, his own party, and all of this is about placating manchin and sinema. manchin who says he doesn't see a deal tonight. i just reported that to you. he doesn't see a deal saying his massive bill is $1.5 trillion, which is a long way off from the $3.5 trillion the president laid out. manchin said he told the president that. >> he was really sincere. he would like to have a lot more t

democrats control the house, the senate and the white house. this responsibility rests on their shoulders. i'll tell you, madam speaker, at the end of this debate i intent to -- intend to offer a motion to commit the bill to ways and means including a provision to prohibit the i.r.s. from implementing a bank surveillance scheme. the reason i'm doing this is because democrats are leading a campaign to impose bank surveillance on your personal bank account and your business bank account. they are targeting families and farmers and america's small businesses. they want to give the i.r.s. unfettered access to individual and business bank accounts. it's an outrageous intrusion into the private lives of all americans. they want to do that because they think they can raise money to lift the salt cap to give tax breaks to millionaires to create tax haifns for billionaires against the very tax hikes that they're proposing. penthouse occupants are cheering. others get nothing. this is why they don't want to take responsibility for lifting the debt ceilin

they have the house, the senate, the white house. they have a procedure to do this at 51 votes. we note, they know it, the parliamentarian has confirmed it. they have been told repeatedly going back to july as the leader pointed out, there was a letter signed by 46 republicans saying they need to use reconciliation. republicans will not be a part of their massive spending and tax free. it has been very clearly articulated. there is plenty of time in which to do this and it is important that the democrats get started doing it. their argument or excuse for not wanting to do it very simply is it is complicated. it takes a while. it is hard. when you're spending $3.5 trillion, the biggest expansion of government in the history of this country and you are raising taxes, the biggest tax increase in the history of this country and you are doing that in a partisan way through a partisan procedure with 51 votes, it should be hard to do that. it should be hard to have to borrow all the money they will have to borrow to finance their big tax and spending spree. it should not be easy or con

she does say the substance of it is the work is being done, discussions continue with the house, senate and white house to reach a bicameral -- meaning house and senate -- framework agreement to build back bet through a reconciliation bill. many thanks to members of our caucus for your participation and patience. the bipartisan infrastructure bill has already had its rule passed and its debate has concluded. all of this momentum brings us closer to shaping the reconciliation bill in a manner that will pass the house and the senate. she then concludes with thank you all for your constant, informative and occasionally humorous messages and always for your leadership for the people. discussions continue i think is the money quote there. but we're still waiting to see if it's going to happen tonight. that's going to do it for us at least for now. we'll see you again some other time. now it's time for the "last word" with lawrence o'donnell. good evening, lawrence. >> good evening, rachel. i was flipping flow a script i wrote about about an hour ago to see if i want to use any of it. so the

ah, with the democrats in control of the white house, the senate and the house of representatives with razor thin margins, but still the majority. why is it so hard for them to agree on an agenda for the country. u. s. president, jo biden's, massive build back better act, exposed the major rift in the democratic party. the act calls for the rich to pay more taxes, bites global warming, and makes education more accessible. with that agenda, you'd expect the republicans to be fighting it. but lo and behold, it's joe biden's own party that he has to worry about. democratic moderates don't want to go too far. they don't wanna spend too much. and progressives are wondering why they aren't going further. they wonder out loud what the republicans would do if they had the once in a lifetime opportunity to control the legislative agenda. meanwhile, the republicans have been able to sit back and watch the fireworks as a democratic party wages a tug of war with itself. so what does the future hold for the democratic coalition and for relations between its left wing and its middle, we're going to

and senator kyrsten sinema, who is trusted by exactly know democrats in the house or senate, said something that sounded positive but was much too vague for the 30 or so house progressives who needed to hear a specific promise to vote for the bill. instead, senator sinema, said in writing. >> we have made significant progress on the proposed budget reconciliation package. i look forward to getting this done. >> as of 2 pm this afternoon, speaker pelosi was still hoping to get a vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill that passed the senate. >> a once in the century chance to rebuild the infrastructure that has been passed the senate awhile back. roads, bridges, water systems crumbling. some water systems are of 100 years made of -- and our colleagues talked about their own experiences in their own communities are made of bricks and wood. that's a nice water system, electric grid is vulnerable to catastrophic outlets, which have seen. and decades of under investment have taking a devastating toll of safety in our infrastructure. there's absolutely no question, the most expensive maintenan

an exaggeration, so too in politics in 2008 barack obama swept to office with majorities in house and senate was the end of the republican party say said, two years later president biden lost the house and 4 years later the house and senate. and 2016 president donald trump won the presidency and had majorities in house and senate. 4 years later, republicans were out and democrats controls everything. the good thing about democracy there is always another election on the horizon. if past is prolong, election night 2022 will be a long night, democrats face several headwinds, the pandemic is still here, the economy is sputtering, and crime, and history what is likely to happen in midterms, the question is why does it always seem to happen? do political parties over read election results, democrats control the senate right now, but they control the tie breaker, if not for joe manchin and kyrsten sinema. democrats would control senate at all. how much of a mandate can you have if your power comes from a senator in west virginia, a state where biden did not win a single solitary county. perhaps am

in both the house and the senate. in what the federal government needs to do to support the american people at this point in history. it's a pivotal point that we have made conscious facing it, that the biden administration is basically proposed not line up things that we can do to make sure that a generation from now, two generations from now, that we have a country and society that most of us would aspire to. and what we are seeing now, unfortunately, is a debate about a top line number. which is not even in that number. and something that we should not focus on. we should focus on what's this bipartisan, and then the build back better act positions will do in terms of providing childcare, and childhood education, and senior care, and climate change policy, and paid and family and medical leave. all these things which are essential to guaranteeing a better future for all of us. and that is my frustration. with all of this obsession with the top line number, when, by the way, the united states government has the capa

decade ago, last time democrats controlled both house of congress, the block of people in the house and the senate that were more aligned ideologically with manchin and sinema, and even gottheimer who's in the house with you, was much bigger. i mean what is striking to me actually is when you are talking with the scope of the agenda, climate investment, childcare, huge changes to obamacare that would expand on the csis, to make health care cheaper to people, more affordable, more accessible, a huge part of the bill. that you don't actually have a ton of fissures that of the democratic party, which is somewhat surprising honestly because if you run this ten years ago it would be all out civil war. >> that is the thing that we can be optimistic about in regards to the fate of the democratic party. these policies that used to be fringed, are now very popular. and not just with our base, but with our colleagues as well. it's been really surprising to see that the folks that are leading the charge in childcare. and others are frontline members. frontline who have won trump districts, and members who un

both chambers the house and senate are controlled by republicans quite strongly.y have demographers who are working on maps they will put out as a bill. republicans have more than enough votes to pass their map. the complication for them this time around comes the form of democratic governor tom wolfe. who, because this is a bill gets to say or no. he has to sign it if they wanted to go into effect. or he can veto it and then i think things become a little more complicated. for our state, house legislative method drawn by five-member panel. that is to republican leaders, to democratic leaders and also one person which is controlled by democrats. there are hopes the members of the panel will actually be able to come to an agreement and pass maps unanimously. in pennsylvania, many, many years of pushing for independent redistricting commission, the power it still lies with the most important and highest ranking lawmakers. >> host: but two separate tracks and independent commission the state level. an apolitical decisions made on the congressional level. >> the state

can they win more seats in the house and senate if they don't get this done? very democrat knows their majority in the house and senate is on the line. they need to complete some of the promises they've made to voters. because other issues like voting rights, immigration, gun control seem certainly likely to not be addressed, based on the numrs that they do have in congress right now. as for making up the trust deficit, that's going to be enormously challenging and fall largely on joe biden's shoulders to do so. he is the bridge right now. he's the person that progressives and those moderates do still seem to trust. he can lean on his relationships in the senate, including with joe biden -- excuse me, with joe mansion. on the house side, i was struck by the fact that we saw so many progressives coming out of that meeting today, praising the president for his commitment to this agenda, on which they are all aligned. i think he will be the key figure to bridge the trust divide. i don't see a joe manchin and aoc sitting down together to be able to pull that off th

chair of the progressive congress pramila jayapal tweeted people across america delivered us the house, the senate, and the white house. we should be doing everything possible in this moment to deliver for them while we still can. skyler henry, cbs news, capitol hill. >>> congressional democrats continue to push for a bipartisan long-term solution to raising the debt ceiling, but republicans say democrats should do so on their own using the process of reconciliation. >>> the fbi and other government agencies are investigating a deadly shooting at a postal facility in memphis. two u.s. postal service workers were shot and killed inside the distribution center yesterday. authorities say the suspected shooter was also an employee and died from a self-inflicted gunshot. there is no word on a motive, but this is the third high-profile shooting in the memphis area in recent weeks. >>> a commuter train derailed in virginia forcing the evacuation of hundreds of passengers. the washington metro train partially went off the tracks in a tunnel near arlington national cemetery yesterday.

you don't want to go through all of the work especially control the house and the senate and the white house, and not to fill this agenda. so the strategy is the need to make sure everybody is on the same page so that congress works best under a deadline to speed up the process and get it done and this week i spoke with a lot of people over the weekend on both sides of the aisle but in particular for leadership that say this is the week they really need to find out consensus what provisions to pass the deadline and that's what they are looking for now. host: talking about deadlines but nothing in washington happens before the deadline and in this case is just before the midterm elections. there is plenty of time. >> that is an argument people are making. why are we pe. rushing? the argument democratic leaders make is americans need the programs now. they need to make the economy ramped up again that create jobs and of course a lot of important projects for child care and families. that is the argument from the white house and democratic leadership but at the same time there are smaller

tonight negotiators from the house, the senate and the white house behind closed doors scrambling to find some kind of compromise to move the president's agenda forward after a week of infighting among democrats. >> the bill is passed. a shutdown crisis averted tonight. >> the motion is adopted. >> reporter: the house and senate easily passing a bill to fund the government through december hours ahead of a midnight deadline but now the divide deepening among democrats, still struggling to pass president biden's signature spending plan. key moderate senator joe manchin wants to pass $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill first, making clear he won't support the president's $3.5 trillion climate and social policy slamming it as fiscal insanity that could lead to a, quote, entitlement mentality, arguing for the price tag to be cut by $2 trillion. >> i've never been a liberal in any way, shape or the form i guess for them to get theirs, elect more liberals. but don't -- i'm not asking them to change. i'm willing to come from zero to $1.5 >> reporter: but progressive democrats in the

committees are starting to me and those committees are actually will draw their own house, senate and congressional maps and kind of like how building comes to law, both of those chambers come up with their own ideas and their own mapsey and then they have to figure out how to settle on final maps for the configuration in that process will almost certainly end up in court as almost all redistricting does and then we willnd go from ther, but the process itself starts with florida's elected legislature. >> is the legislature controlled by republicans like the governor's office is right now in a florida? >> it is and florida the legislature has been dominated by republicans for almost three decades now, but the senate is a little bit closer, florida senate republicans control, but there is democratic influencese there. democratss have-- in the house it's almost a near super majority for republicans and it's very, very red chamber, but overall from a topline perspective the florida legislature is very republicans. >> does governor desantis have a role in this claim i guess. he will-- he h

. >> the house debated and passed a continuing resolution to fund the government through december 3, having passed the senate earlier, house speaker nancy pelosi signed short-term spending bill before sending it to the white house. president biden signed legislation into law, avoiding a government shutdown. here is the house floor debate on the resolution before it was sent to the president. myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is recognized. ms. delauro: i rise in support of the extending government funding and delivering emergency assistance act. by extending government funding through december 3, this bill provides tens of billions of dollars to support working families who live paik-to-paik. -- paycheck-to-paycheck. it ensures vital education, housing and public safety programs continue to serve those who rely on them. and a at -- and at a time of economic devastation in many parts of our couldn'ty we need a bill that looks out for working family, small businesses and the as a rule yecial who work hard. the funding in this bill would grow opportunities and lift up ha

several of senator joe manchin's constituents from west virginia boated up to him today. they paddled. they kayaked up to the house boat where senator manchin lives when he is in washington. do you see him on the back of the boat there? the constituents are in the kayaks and in the little boat. they have boated, is that the word? they have boated themselves up to him to the back of his house boat to plead with him to get onboard with the budget. get onboard with president biden's agenda. you can see here the kayakers all at manchin's house boat, senator manchin at one point in the video asks where they're from and they shout out the places in west virginia they are from. what they did this evening was basically just ask him why he is not supporting the president's agenda. why he is not supporting the president's build back better plan. and what is he going to do for the incredible lovers of poverty in west virginia? what about expanding medicare? wouldn't that be good for everyone? what about lowering drug prices he says he is in favor of? what about taxing the rich which even the conservatives want? and tonight w

does biden get the budget reconciliation bill through the house and senate? guest: usually the notion in washington is something that important is too big to fail. i'm afraid the trillions of dollars in proposed spending that the white house and democratic party are trying to pass may be too big to pass. you have a 50-50 senate. you cannot afford to lose a single democrat. you have two democrats in joe manchin and kyrsten sinema who are functionally independent. these are not partyline voters. their constituencies are to the middle and to the right. these will not be easy votes to get even with the typical horsetrading that goes on. you look at the house, and pelosi and biden can only afford to lose three house democrats, and you already have a couple on the record who are very wary about the spending levels that democrats are proposing. there are dozens more democrats who say they want to pass something but they know that they are in competitive districts where the political tide is turning against them and are very wary about inflation, government spending,

what does the house and the senate look like for democrats and republicans? let's talk about the governor's races. what does the house and senate look like for republicans, coming up on the midterm? guest: i think you have to give -- redistricting will basically erase -- historically very small. you may already be at one or two. midterms often lead to a revoking of the party of power. it is no sure thing. i do not necessarily see the groundswell of opposition in the way that i did see it for donald trump, with the resistance. there does not seem to be quite the same energy. the bar is so low for publicans to take back the house, that you have to gives them the advantage. they focus on turning out the base. it is probably a bet that will work out. i do not think you can necessarily guarantee that it is good for publicans. if i were to guess, i would say republicans could take back the senate by a single seat, but it is much less assured than the house. taking a look at it nearby -- virginia is funny. the world of politics has written off virginia as a blue stat

democrats controlled both houses of congress and the white house, the block of people in the house and senate that were more aligned kind of idealogically with manchin and sinema and even josh gottheimer who is in the house with you, was much, much bigger. i mean, it's -- what's striking to me is when you're talking about the scope of the agenda, climate investment, child care, huge changes to obamacare that would expand subsidies, make health care cheaper for people, more affordable, more accessible, a huge part of the bill, that you don't actually have a ton of internal fissures in the democratic party, which is somewhat surprising. if you ran this ten years ago, it would be all-out civil war. >> that is the thing that we can be optimistic about, you know, in regards to the fate of the democratic party. these policies that used to be fringe are now very popular. not just with our base but with our colleagues as well. it's been really surprising to see that the folks who are leading the charge in child care and others are front line members, members who have won trump districts and members w

you have the house and senate democrats going at each other, mods versus conservatives and criticism of the white house and back to the leadership back in the hill. everyone is going after everyone. i think they talked about this is a big reset. biden coming up there friday. they need a reset. now, they have to get this done in october. they have to get an agreement. they're not going to finish the reconciliation bill in october. that's not going to happen. they will be lucky to get it done by thanksgiving. they have to have an agreement if they're going to have one because the longer it stays out there, the worse it gets for them. so they're going to try this week to get a top line number. they're going to try to get a deal between the house and senate that everyone can live with and senators mansion and cinema can live with and they're going to try to go from there. it's really incredibly toxic right now. i had a chief of staffer, moderate, the house democrat, the white house legislative affairs operation, they don't know what they're doing. so there is a big problem there. there is

the last time republicans controlled the house, senate, and white house they shut the government down. and the new democratic majority had to come in and fix all that. my friends are really good at creating messes and piling up big bills, by the way. and then they say to us, you clean it up. well, you know what, we are putting our country first. so we are going to clean up this mess. and we are going to move forward. and we are going to have a reconciliation bill, by the way, that will be mostly paid for. and my friends don't like that, they can vote against it. but let's be clear, 97% of what we are covering here are bills accumulated by donald trump and my trbl friends -- my republican friends. 97%. i don't know what the controversy is on the other side of the aisle. you didn't want to accumulate all this debt -- i remember during the tax debate we were talking to you about debt, you didn't want to hear anything about t we had some republicans say the debt doesn't matter, on this floor. now all of a sudden it does. that we have a democratic president. by the way, an the a democratic

the vast majority of republicans in the house and senate, 16 governors and 1000 state legislators have made that commitment to their voters. if you ever talk to a legislator, just ask them, have you made that public commitment to the people of your state that you will reform government to cost less. not raise taxes to continue doing all of the failed things and refused to reform anything. it is a very interesting divide. i also run the wednesday meeting in d.c. where we bring 100 center-right activists and people who work for the hill to talk about what all of the modern free-market liberty movement are doing. people who care about homeschooling. people who care about small businesses. people who care about religious liberty, lower taxes, the second amendment, the right to vague -- the right to vote. all the various things that people want to be left alone. now we have similar meetings in 45 state capitals and 20 overseas. we have a good network of people who sit around a table. everyone who is in favor of more limited government and more individual liberties for families and individua

this comes from congress, the house andomon the senate.his seems to be in all of government approach. and geared toward the department of defense, i don't think it would be appropriate to just rely on that department of defense or the executive branch and congress needs to step up and speak out because it will be both right and left extremism clearly white supremacy is the biggest issue in the military and across the country when it comes to violence and domestic terrorist. but all of these can be applied in any number of ways to root out extremism. so just like last year with the ndaa issues we put in language to make sure the department of defense went to the issue of renaming the assets for confederate generals and officers. this is very similar to let them know congress is serious. >> also let me add on the whole government approach mentioning at least twice the national strategy the biden administration published to counter domestic extremism puts a huge premium more focused somewhere priority on the whole of governmentho approach not

the future of the democrats holding the house and barely holding the senate and even the white houseot they can get something done, something they were elected to do, and that is pass two bills. remember, the problem is conservative democrats don't like this one, and liberal democrats won't pass this one without that one. the future of the house, senate and presidency may be in the balance. you may have seen this. republican senator, mitt romney, dressing up from ted lasso. some democrats are pointing out this scene where lasso presents cookies to the boss like in the real ted lasso, except the boss is not rebecca, but kyrsten sinema, one of the two democrats blocking the key bills. in bill lasso, rebecca is wanting her team to lose. i just ruined the first ted lasso for you. >>> today in the bay's bob redell joins us from outside levi stadium this morning. this could be a fun event, bob. >> reporter: hopefully, if it happens. later today and tomorrow the 49ers along with the mayors of san josÉ, san francisco, oakland and some major companies like airbnb, google and salesforce, they
