. >> kristin sinema said she didn't support it. >> it had a lot of people nervous on the democratic sidee out and made a bold statement. it could complicate things. sinema did make it clear she's going to vote for the budget resolution, which is the framework to begin the negotiations around that budget package but that she's uncomfortable with the price tag of $3.5 trillion. they reacted strongly to sinema making that statement saying that they are much more concerned about the reconciliation package and perhaps they won't vote for the bipartisan deal as a result but everybody up here believes this is just part of the long-term negotiating process. this is kristin sinema and joe manchin finding a way to get what they want in this package and ultimately when it comes to push comes to shove, they'll vote for it. this is a long process and they have a long way to go. >> still to come, simone biles future at the tokyo games is uncertain. we'll speak to two people including paulo ono who understand the immense mental health burden that comes with pursuing the gold. my auntie called me. she s

there are some, not just joe manchin and kristin sinema.s vulnerable. i think part of what we need to do is to understand more clearly what are the motivations behind the hesitancy with regards to just simply talking about a carve out for the voting rights -- for voting rights, for democracy itself. i think it has something to do, jason, with self-interest on the part of democrats as well as what the republicans are doing, the shenanigans they're up to, they've been up to historically. >> dr. greer, speaking of this motivations, we have raphael warnock. now, he is a very popular, brand-new senator, just elected in special elections we had in january, but he's also one of the number one targets of the republican party, even though in georgia they have this crazy idea that herschel walker will be able to compete against him. does being at the forefront of the hearings not only bolster him standing, but i'm running again but i'm on the chopping block if it doesn't happen? >> i think it does, jason. largely because if we think about georgia in

kristin sinema saying she will not support the $3.5 trillion price tag. a lot to get through here.chumer says they plan to work through the weekend on this program. it has a $550 billion price tag, but it is a trillion dollar plan. what's in it? >> it sure is. the fact that they took this procedural vote, the fact that it got 17 republicans was more than expected. mitch mcconnell came out and voted for it on this procedural test vote. there is good things in this legislation both sides say. we can run down what it said, it is about 110 million for roads and bridges. $73 billion for energy infrastructure. passenger freight rail. what the white house is saying is that this is the biggest investment roads, bridges, water, broadband, and rail that they have seen in generations. they have saying infrastructure is good for everyone in their districts. there is still a week to go of additional votes and amendments, but there is a lot of optimism up here. let's listen to what senator tester said about this just moments ago. >>. >> i think everyone needs to look at it and see if it works. t

but it needs those two democrats, who seem to be reticent about the filibuster, joe manchin and kristin sinema, i think they're right, but i really believe they need to modify their thinking. >> you were tweeting about hank johnson and more, how do we get americans to feel the level of urgency around this? we saw urgency in the streets of america last year, and it did change the way things work in this country with respect to social justice and pleasing. how do you get people who are not affected to understand the level of urgency involved in this? >> well, you know, i've always said that we ought to really consult with history about these things. i grew up loving history so much, because my dad used to say to me anything that's happened before, can happened again. my dad said that to me all the time. i really believe that we have to consider those things so when it comes to things like this the history is very clear, that these things may hype to one group today, to an group tomorrow, and every group should be coming together right now to make sure we have constitutional principles apply to e

understand as members of the majority why the senate democrats have not shut down joe manchin and kristin sineman our president have at their disposal. but either way, if they're not willing to do that the people who are on the left end, the people wanting to protect voting rights and see action on these pivotal issues have to be willing to disrupt proceedings. if i were a cory booker, if i were, i don't know, any number of leftist democratic senators i would be intentionally filibustering everything until substantive voting rights legislation comes to the floor, and they have the right to hold up the proceedings just as much as the naysayers have the right to hold up proceedings both from the center like a man kmin and sinema or on the right. so first of all we have to have the courage to use the actual power we have, and even though we know it is just a waiting game with the texas house democrats, what they've done is disrupted the proceedings. they brought national attention to a righteous cause and i applaud them for it. >> matt, i know that you can enumerate the exceptions to this rule, but

democratic moderates are the ones to watch yet again, joe manchin from west virginia, kristin sin ma from arizona -- kyrsten sinemain the road over the last few days in terms of how they want to pay for all of this. they'd been talking about giving more power to the irs to collect taxes that are owed but haven't been paid yet, but the republicans don't like the idea of making the irs more powerful, so that's out. now it's anybody's guess as to whether the wednesday deadlines are met and even if they are, what would happen next at this point. we'll follow it throughout the week. neil: all right, connell. thank you, connell mcshane, on all of that. a bit of an alert for you here, i'm not talking about the dow jones industrial, look at the price of oil right now. i checked it was down more than 7%. right now the big issue seems to be whether opec is just sort of losing ground here, and that despite operating about 400,000 extra gallons of oil to the market a day and concerns that it might be too little too late here. andy joins us now, very good to see you. interesting a reaction,s i get it. supply, demand, you make
