jonathan allen. he is the co-author of "lucky: how joe biden barely won the presidency." jonathan, the senate has voted to reject an effort by senator lankford to slow down this process on budget procedural grounds over the cost of the bipartisan plan. they voted to drop the actual text inside the shell bill. now they're voting for cloture. does this look like we're sort of making our way toward the vote on tuesday or are there other possibilities that could throw this off? >> no, really it should be done by tuesday. in fact, there's no need to have those 30 hours of debate post-cloture. it is in the rules that you can debate for up to 30 hours. if there were nobody objecting to having the vote sooner they could have the vote right after the one you're watching right now, which is essentially as you pointed out that big cloture vote that says let's have a final vote on this bill. >> and we should be clear, there's really only been one senator, bill haggerty of tennessee, who is considered to be a possible monkey wrench in this if he decides for some reason to stay on the s

jonathan: lisa, pushing forward today in afghanistan. lisa: joe biden really had a reputation of client competence. one thing a lot of political analysts are saying is that the situation with afghanistan really threw that into question, this idea of how could he not have known that it was not going to be a quicker takeover by the taliban. how come he did not do more to get people out of afghanistan before that who had helped the united states? this goes into the infrastructure discussions. how can he be certain that inflation is transitory or that this is going to be positive for the nation? it just undermines a certain level of credibility when he needs it to a very high degree. jonathan: the issue at play right now for the president and the administration, the approval ratings are moving in the wrong direction. and a lot of this predates what happened last week. tom: that falls into august and to speaker pelosi's challenge with a president under siege into the election. maybe that is all pulled forward for the primary season for 2022 that begins a let

jonathan kapart in for joy reid. late this afternoon, president biden joe biden joined the chorus of the investigation. >> are you now calling on him to resign? >> yes. >> and if he doesn't resign, do you think he should be impeached from office? >> let's do one thing at a time here. i think he should resign. >> it includes chuck schumer and gillenbrand. they said the governor can no longer remain in office saying they will expedite the impeachment investigation. and yet cuomo was defiant today, digging in his heels despite the damning revelations unveiled by attorney letitia james. >> andrew cuomo sexually harassed current and former new york state employees by engaging in unwelcome and nonconsensual touching and making comments of a suggestive and sexual nature that created a hostile work environment for women. the investigators found that governor cuomo's actions and those of the executive chamber violated multiple state and federal laws. none of this would have been illuminated if not for the heroic women who came forward. >> the evidence backing those conclusions is documented in a scathing report of more than 1

notwithstanding the potential impeachment as well if he does not resign. >> and jonathan lemire from legal to the political, let's talk about joe bidenactly comfortable in that press conference, deferred at an earlier press conference about calling on cuomo to resign. this is a guy who has lived what i was talking about his entire life, the politics was about collecting friends, making friends, making alliances, helping other people, being with other people when they were down, i would guess this is something that didn't come naturally to joe biden. what can you tell us about biden calling on cuomo to resign? >> well, let's start with the idea that joe biden and andrew cuomo are friend and political allies. they were really close. when biden was vice president, he would hold events in new york with cuomo with some frequency. there was talks that maybe cuomo would be a running mate. there's a real political alliance there. they both fashion themselves as working class folks, and appealing to those sort of voters. yes, and you're right, i was in the white house yesterday. in fact, i asked president biden the question early in the day,

insight, white house reporter for the associated press, jonathan lemire, so jonathan, tell us what you know about joe biden'sugust 31st deadline. what drove it? >> well, first of all, joe, the deadline slipped from may, which is imposed by the trump administration, august 31st, which was created by the biden white house to get everyone out, and he, the president, has come under intense pressure from both sides aisle to extend it. he decided to stick with august 31st, mainly for this reason, that the department of defense senior leaders there said that every day past the august 31st deadline, the u.s. forces stayed, the risk against them for taliban violence increased exponentially. the taliban is going to stick to the august 31st deadline, and the president thought putting americans in harm's way beyond august 31st is something he couldn't do. he's mindful of the sacrifices america's mothers and fathers have made for the young men and women serving the country overseas. we know this is something he believes is time for american presidents in afghanistan to end. he left himself some wiggle room, joe, but he w

jonathan, great job keeping track of all of this. you know, we're getting word right now that joe biden's eviction ban has survived an initial court challenge. a federal judge allowing the administration's eviction moratorium to remain in place for the time being amid a legal challenge by the housing industry on a whole bunch of others saying that it's doing more economic harm than good. but the judge now effectively saying that it won't put new cdc eviction motherrer the yums -- moratoriums on hold. they can stay and stand as they are right now. reaction from gary kaltbaum. we were going to talk about other things, and we still are, my friend, but your thoughts on this. there had been talk that the pressure would be on to drop this moratorium. for the time being, that's not happening. >> the big problem, neil, there's always the other side of the trade. you have the people that own all these apartments and houses, and they are making absolutely no money, they're getting not a lot of relief, and it's affecting them. so while one is benefiting, the other is the opposite. it zeros itself out, and it goes back to how much government can dictat
