and joining us now is senator kirsten gillibrand. good morning to you, senator, thank you for being here. >> good morning. >> brennan: so i want to get to some of the agenda items. the treasury secretary, janet yellin was with us next week and said she said it doesn't look like paid family leave will make it in the "build back better" bill. that's due to joe manchin's opposition. >> joe manchin has come a long way on paid leave. i've been talking to him now for about three weeks on the topic. and in the beginning of our conversations, he didn't know a lot about paid leave, and he's come forward with a lot of really smart questions about how would you build it? what would it look like? he really wants it to be an earned benefit, something that is self-sustaining, and so do i. and he really wants something that will last for generations. so i'm optimistic that senator manchin and i can continue to talk about ways to put paid bui'e taked republi whoree loane interested in paid leave, and none of them have an interest in what he wants to

she's been coordinating with senator kirsten gillibrand to lobby senators, particularly joe manchin thisd family leave. there are reports that she called senators on their private lines, opening width, this is meghan duchess of sussex. how do you trash the royals and then use their title to lobby? this shouldn't be allowed. this is outrageous really. >> laura: is she in need of paid family leave? in montecito? >> raymond: with a team of nannies and cooks, she and her husband took off 20 weeks for parental leave when they had each of their children. 20 weeks. what government could afford this, laura? >> laura: first of all, i am the duchess of sussex, why do we care what you think about anything? sorry, that is not relevant. i'm an american citizen and this is my view. what can we expect? >> raymond: i hope you get an invite to the dinner kirsten gillibrand is hosting a dinner for congressional ladies with meghan markle in d.c. give us a report. there is a new british show i wish we could adapt and bring to fox. it is called "love trap." at the dating show and this is what happens when co

joining me now from capitol hill is senator kirsten gillibrand, democrat of new york. always good to see you. this was not a great day on tuesday, to say the least. what's your takeaway from this week's elections? to act faster, lean into progressive priorities? what do you think voters are saying to the democratic party? >> you know, it's hard to monday morning quarterback election results. but what i know from new york is that people are still really struggling. and people need help. and so i think what joe biden has been talking about are real solutions to making costs lower. people can't afford childcare. they can't afford groceries. they can't afford the things they need for their families. and so i think we are actually on the right track. it's just about getting it done and making sure we rebuild the economy from the bottom up, we rebuild infrastructure, having affordable day-care, have universal pre-k, get paid leave done, make housing and health care more affordable. those things do matter. i wouldn't take that much from it except fact that people are hurting
