there is going to be immense amount on kyrsten sinema to get on board with this.fascinating element do this if democrat have the votes because there are people out there. are people with covid. there are people out of the senate. they may have people rolling in on gurneys, you know, in biosuits to make these votes. all right. winners and loser. >> i don't think it's the first time the senate gets rolled in way. winner beyonce she is out with seventh album. congrats to her. loser of the week brian deese biden's economic adviser trying to redefine the word recession. i will try that in the next administration myself. that's a good tactic. >> bret: matthew winner and loser. >> republican congressional baseball team they faced down climate protesters. they have faced down a rain delay and faced down the democrats and won 10-0. a blow-out. my loser is the pga tour. they are coming under a scrutiny doj antitrust investigation now pro-am that's a success with trump and sir charles against them. >> bret: it's the liv tour. >> chuck schumer after months of frustration. som

on kyrsten sinema or manchin's back. >> depends who you're asking in the democratic party., progressive democrats who want to put a target on them, but they're not up for re-election, and as you pointed out, they're crucial to this democratic majority. i think one of the challenges that democrats have with messaging is that for most americans, understanding that democrats control both chambers of congress, and the presidency, and so there is frustration that biden has not been able to get more done. if you talk to people inside the white house, they will say look, we're trying our best, yes we do have control, but because of the rules of the senate, they need a lot more democrats in that chamber to get things done. i think we've seen biden evolve on the issue of the filibuster and a rule that requires 60 votes for most substantive legislation, calling for these votes rights and abortion, but a slow-moving process for biden, a long-time senator, who is an institutionalist and wants to keep the rules in place but i think he's seen as they have been stifled in their pursuit of

but the other key democrat we have not yet heard from is senator kyrsten sinema of arizona. she opposed ending the carry interest tax break for high earners and her office declined to comment to nbc news when asked about that provision being included, in this new manchin deal. the federal reserve following through on another three quarters of a point rate hike as it tries to fight inflation running at 40-year highs but what the fed chairman said about the future may signal whether the economy is headed for a recession. nbc news correspondent tom costello has the details. >> the federal reserve doesn't like surprise, and it delivered just what it promised. >> a unanimous decision by the federal reserve to hike interest rates by 75 basis points. >> a big move, three quarters of a point, the most aggressive series of rate hikes since the early '90s, as the fed tries to catch up with run-away inflation, the goal to bring inflation down from 9% now to 2%. and the price hikes continue to eat into family and small business budgets. in las vegas, jill schlesinger opened a gluten and

putting the focus on arizona democratic senator kyrsten sinema. a key swing voter who is not part of the discussions about the deal brokered by majority leader chuck schumer and joe manchin of west virginia. sinema spokesperson noncommittal. >> she's going to be reviewing the text. >> reporter: as democrats expressed measured optimism. >> i would hope she would be receptive. >> hopefully we'll have 50 votes. >> let's bring in correspondent ali raffa. good morning. good to see you. so we heard from senator sinema saying she's reviewing the text and has been for last couple of days. is there really a chance that she will be the holdout to prevent this piece of legislation to go through. >> that is what chuck schumer is hoping doesn't happen. this is becoming a game of numbers and the million dollar question here on capitol hill is whether they will have these 50 democratic votes, if not only present but also voting in favor of this bill. remember there is no proxy voting in the senate like there is in the house. so all of the senators have to physic

kailey: what do you think about the odds of kyrsten sinema giving it a thumbs up?t is kyrsten sinema, the assault crew, and sickness. let's run through each of them. sickness, we don't know which senator is going to get covid and next. that matters when you need every vote to get through. on the salt crew, we have to watch menendez and the other senator from new jersey to see if they will blow up this deal that he sold it cap has not been lifted or eliminated. and that that is all eyes on senator kyrsten sinema. at the moment i think she will be a yes. most of my contacts believe she will get the yes and we will see her blowing up this deal on things like the carried interest treatment which is something that has matter to her in the past. i am telling clients we expect this bill to become law. i think the odds are better that this bill becomes law by the end of the year. jonathan: can i throw in an extra s? secrecy. we can about this, i wonder how much more we don't know. how did they get this through chuck schumer amanda joe manchin in d.c. without anyone knowing

and even if it does pass the senate with manchin and kyrsten sinema's blessings it will still need to overcome the objections of some conservative democrats well. house as joe manchin's support does appear to be a potentially big victory for democrats especially for chuck schumer and for joe jo biden, one that may be due in no small part to smart messaging back in january, inspired from an idea of a national security expert, democrats should rename build back better as the anti-inflation act of 2022 and put it in front of manchin co vote down.vo and six months later, that is sort of what they did. take a look at that again. here is the headline. manchin supports inflation reduction act of 2022. that is how democrats are shifting the narrative on this new slimmed down version of biden's legislative agenda. because many of the policies that the dems have been pushing all along, things like reducing drug price, taxing corporations, investing in new sources of energy, n these are all things that will help reduce inflation, and it comes at r a time when t debate about how america should ta

she is a little bit more liberal than joe manchin, but all eyes are on kyrsten sinema. while there is excitement in the white house right now about what is possible, but there is a concern that it could once again -- they could once again have the rug pulled from under them because it happened over and over. so aides are cautiously optimistic, still trying to figure out what kyrsten sinema would say about the current bill, if she wants any changes made. and so i think we'll have to see how she ends up voting. but this party as mike was just saying does feel like there is a new world a little bit, that they will be able to play in a different sandbox so to speak as they move forward in trying to get a message that work this is different parts of the country saying that, look, democrats are getting work done. i think that is what we'll start hearing from more democrats as we get closer to the midterms. >> a lot of lawmakers say the process is messy. but in your playbook newsletter this morning, you talk about a republican's answer for some of the issues that americans are

occasionally joe manchin will do the right thing, thank goodness, and occasional kyrsten sinema willwell. when it comes to these types of radical a point -- they run for the hills. >> these democrats about 100% of the time for these radical biden nominees. >> laura: with got to put pressure on the others, including joe manchin. thank you very much. the white house is doing everything in its power to reassure the public that biden is handling his covid covid really, really, really well. the results have been less than inspiring. raymond arroyo is back from a well-deserved break, and he breaks on the tape next. i would say that to me an important aspect is too... meta portal with smart sound. helps reduce your background noise. bring that sense of calm, really... so you come through, loud and clear. meta portal. the smart video calling device that makes work from home work for you. as someone with hearing loss i know what a confusing and frustrating experience getting hearing aids can be. that's why i founded lively. affordable, high-quality hearing aids with all of the features you ne

give us the west wing's latest thinking as to whether they believe kyrsten sinema will be a problem.this yet. the president did do an event yesterday where he spoke about his support of the inflation reduction act of 2022 and the thinking seems to be that senator schumer and house speaker nancy pelosi will be able to get democrats on board but when i did a story earlier this week about the legislative wins that biden was perhaps poised to have in the next couple of week, white house officials said look, we're not counting our chickens before they roost. we know there is a lot of work ahead and this is before manchin and schumer had announced a big breakthrough on the deal. i think there is nervousness but i think there is some cautious optimism that whatever differences there are can eventually be worked through because there would be such a huge win for democrats if they're able to pass this much of their economic agenda. >> a luge win for the president -- a huge win for the president of course and democrats heading into the nove ever, november's midterms. thank you very much. >>> t

coming in to us now, new comments, kind of, from senator kyrsten sinema. we'll tell you what she's saying or more importantly what she's not saying, as we also talk to senator amy klobuchar. >>> another former trump whous aide, mick mulvaney, speaking with the committee today. our team the only ones to catch up with him on the way in. >>> we're going inside that prisoner swap deal. the latest on any direct talks between the u.s. and russia and how soon paul whelan and brittney griner could be home as we go one-on-one with national security spokesperson john kirby. i'm hallie jackson in washington on this thursday afternoon. carol lee over at the white house, jake ward posted up for us in san francisco, our business reporter. carol, let me start with you. this is time number two we're hearing from the president today on the economic news of the day. >> reporter: that's right, hallie. what you're seeing is not just the president but across the administration, a number of officials are out talking about the economy today addressing these gdp numbers. this is

i think what's clear is the fact that he hasn't talked to senator kyrsten sinema. you're also getting a little bit of behind the scenes because that's what our zoom booth looks like because senator manchin is at home with covid. >> quite luxurious. i had forgotten how fabulous it is there. i want to go back to this big picture, if i can, eugene, which is the point of the new york magazine headline that biden has been brought back from the dead. i guess one argument is the president's numbers have been so low, there was nowhere to go but up. the other is the victory was snatched from the jaws of defeat. what are they feeling at the white house? are you sensing from them that they think now there's the start of a turnaround? >> i would say cautious optimism. they have felt earlier, time after time during this administration, that they had turned a corner, and last summer they thought they were turning a corner on covid and that is still a large part of our lives. then you had afghanistan. so since then, when good things do happen, they kind of wait a little bit for i

there >> you never know with kyrsten sinema.one of the senators who does not just get in line with the party. it was a big win for democrats this week, and senator joe manchin actually came to the president and said, and his colleagues and said he supports this bill including a lot of climate provisions that were really key to the presidents agenda. and so kyrsten sinema, she has shown us time and time again. she is going to do what she's gonna do, she loves being in the press, being the fallout. but she is not here to work with democrats and pass are agendas. so, i'm hopeful that her colleagues can push her along and say, listen we've got to have some winds in order for us to deliver. so that people have something to vote for. and keep us in power in the midterm election. that is only 101 days away. >> kurt, if the democrats get this bill to the presidents ask, how much is gonna help the party politically ahead of the midterms? how much is it helped? >> well, i think significantly. so, alex, winning begets winning, bigots winni

we are waiting for kyrsten sinema.er of republicans are really unhappy with mitch mcconnell, they think he didn't handle this very well. what do you think the political fallout from this will be? jonathan: senator mcconnell is the master of the dark arts, dark parliamentarian arts in the senate. if he feels played, as the wall street journal editorial page declared he was, that republicans were played, he will exact some sort of revenge against the democrats. it is just a matter of how is he going to do it? will he be able to do it? could he exact revenge maybe not on this bill but codifying a burger fell and respect for marriages act that susan collins expressed concern that bill and passage of that bill in the senate could be victim to that? we were talking about that bill last week and there were five senate republicans that said they would vote for it, meaning all democrats needed were five more republicans to say they would vote for it and they would clear the 60 vote threshold and be able to get it passed. have n

mostly covid and kyrsten sinema. >> thank you both. judy? judy: thanks geoff.we mentioned, a new report today indicates the u.s. economy is in a slowdown for certa -- and possibly aecession. this was the second straight quarter where the gross domestic product fell into negative territory, dropping by nearly 1%. economists often mark a recession by two straight quarters of negative growth. but the jobs market has remained strong during the first half of year, which muddies the picture. the president and his team are insisting this is not a recession -- at least not yet. but many americans have told pollsters they believe a recession is already under way. i'm joined from the white house by gene sperling, senior advisor to president biden, and the american rescue plan coordinator. welcome back to the newshour. as we are saying, it is not knowable now if the country is technically in a recession, but we know that growth is slowing. my question is does the president think now it is more important to continue this focus on fighting inflation or is it time to turn an

. >> all eyes on kyrsten sinema.nd her team said they would review the bill over the weekend. i've been talking to a source close to the senator, though who points to the fact that this new reconciliation bill includes the carry interest provision, that she has long said that she opposes. now, manchin's team says tough, they're not taking it out, but this could be where battle lines get drawn. the question is, though, chuck, there is too much pressure on sinema, does she need to find a way to support this, does she find compromise in some other area like prescription drugs? that's where you have some democrats saying, look, they might be able to move a little bit and give her a win. she wasn't a part of the final rounds of discussions, and that could create a last minute snag here. >> jonathan what do you think? >> it is an extraordinary thing if she were to be the lone vote that sinks a package that has so many democratic priorities and they have been trying so long and so hard to get done. we know that the white ho

it's mostly covid and kyrsten sinema. judy: a new report today indicates the u.s. economy is in a slow down for certain and possibly a recession. the gross thomistic product fell into negative territory. dropping by nearly 1%. economists mark a recession by two straight quarters of negative growth of the jobs market has remained strong which muddies the picture. the president and his team are insisting this is not a recession yet. they believe a recession is already underway. i'm joined from the white house by jean sperling, senior advisor to president biden and the american rescue plan coordinator. jean sperling, welcome back to the newshour. it is not knowable if the country is in a recession. we know that growth is slowing. does the president think it is more important to continue this focus on fighting inflation? or is it time to turn and focus more on this existing slow down. >> the entire reason for being here and energizes the economic policy, and right now for working families, the number one issue is higher prices. it's partly because we've had so much job

despite the fact a 5050 senate, joe manchin and kyrsten sinema said they were opposed to the bills, joearns them repeatedly they would be inflationary and it was a big mistake to expunge the oil production in this country. none the less, chuck schumer and the senate, nancy pelosi and the house persisted and pushed this rock up the hill and it simply failed in public view of the american people. now the democrats are in trouble and now their solution is to tell joe biden not to run again. i think the real solution for democrats to look in the mirror and see where the real problem is. paul: kim, i guess my question is, where is the gratitude? first of all, joe biden donald trump, i think he might be the only democrat who feels he could have. second, biden has done exactly what the progressives wanted. the build back better bill was their dream bill for the enormous expansion of government. >> i know, where is the gratitude? you almost feel sorry for the guy. the question i think those to what dan said, the blame is getting piled on biden when the blame needs to be on the somewhat radical

kyrsten sinema's one of them. >> todd: let's not discount kyrsten sinema. you raise an interesting point there is talk of a pipeline to go through west virginia that will modify the impacts on his constituency by taxing coal which having to hunt diners down there when donald trump eliminated a lot of the restrictions, hey, look at this train track behind me. there was nothing on it but this year coal is run through and our economy is great and the state is doing well. that went away during biden. >> carley: truly amazing with a victory lap yesterday on the day that we officially enter a recession in terms of the second quarter numbers coming out. the main reason we are in this economic position is because of spending and giving out stimulus checks even when people don't need them. and now this bill passes adding billions of dollars to an already inflationary economy and increasing the corporate tax rate. companies aren't going to take the hit. they will cut jobs. that can be another major issue for american families. so what is this going to do to the econo

kyrsten sinema and joe manchin are pro-filibuster.nd say, showed the clip saying he's not going to be able to get it done. the same thing when he had the gas tax proposal. when he does that and he can't deliver, he looks weak and he looks like he can't control his own party. >> mike: morgan, we are hearing criticism that the president is being reactive and not leading. your thoughts? >> i think what you see it's very concerning for many of us is the threats from the far left of the party which he has to deal with, which is that they want to pack the court and effectively dismantle all of the institutions that our country relies on for the balance of power. for decades up until around 2017, conservatives often lost in the supreme court, decisions didn't go their way so they spent decades working on a strategy to reform within the rules, within the system. when they lost in the high court, they didn't threaten to pack it or blow up the institution. they took tedious steps in order to reform within the rules-based order, within the syste

joe manchin and kyrsten sinema will not go for this.s are concerned, the senate is referred to as the cooling saucer, where the hot passions tends to cool and a become more sober. the silver lining, it looks like joe manchin and kyrsten sinema won't go along for the ride here. dagen: i had a lot of discussions about the dobbs decision and about the decisions coming out of this court with friends, family members who are independents and liberals and i think back, how -- and i've said this to them privately and i'll say it publicly. how did you ever think that the scotus decision on roe and then casey would never be overturned? and they're accusing scotus of making law and accusing scotus of a power grab and i say to them these decisions were always on shaky legal ground and very unstable legal foundations and what were you paying attention to in the last six years? oh, the russia -- you know, the russia collusion narrative about trump? you know, being upset at trump because of some mean tweets really made you take your eye off the ball i

we have hope with kyrsten sinema out there. come to their senses and understand we're in a 40-year high inflation -- i mean inflation is at 9%, supply chain issue, definition of inflation is too many dollars chasing too many goods. i have never met an administration that is so out of touch with reality. >> carley: the administration and now senator manchin is saying this will reduce inflate yop, talking about 15% corporate minimum tax. $369 on energy programs over stimulated economy and that is why minority leader mcconnell said this on twitter yesterday, his response to inflation reduction bill. if you can scroll up the prompter, historic inflation and now they want to pile on giant tax hikes that will hammer workers and kill american jobs. first they killed your family budget and now they want to kill your job, too. congressman, is he right about that? >> he is right. like i said, part of the problem has been the federal policy, our monetary policy and our spending. every economist knows this, what do they want to do? spend m

we still do not know if senator kyrsten sinema is a yes.here were concerns she had about that carried interest loophole that gets killed in this version of the bill. that could lead her to be a no. if that is the case, this legislation is probably not going to go anywhere. lisa: of course, on the subject of energy spending, it also includes permitting for drilling on federal lands, just how joe manchin probably got on board with it in the first place. if kyrsten sinema is not onboard, there is likely no path to reconciliation. what about the other legislation they are currently working on? emily: reconciliation is really the big package they are trying to work on right now. lawmakers say they are still reviewing the bill. it is more than 700 pages long. i think the biggest concern no from a number of fiscally conservative democrats is, will this impact inflation? they have heard from folks like larry summers, who has been critical of the biden administration, that this will not. the taxes they put in place will offset the spending, that it

he said he didn't want to add spending and his support adds spending but now the focus is on kyrsten sinemal see if she has the backbone to stand up for what she believed in. >> she talked about not raising taxes and hopefully she'll stick to that pledge unlike joe manchin. but the idea here is that you're going to raise $700 billion in new taxes, but 400 billion of that goes to global warming. al gore is like this is the greatest achievement in the war on global warring that we've ever seen in our eternity. mark my words it is a bad bill and you'll get more regulations and rules on top of taxes which makes america less competitive which is to steve's point exactly what we don't need. >> yeah, it is actually spending. steve and sean thank you very much for joining us tonight >> all right breaking tonight, the house passing an assault weapons ban for the first time in nearly 30 years. behind the scenes, five democrats voted against it. henry cuellar and vincent gonzalez of texas, jared golden of maine, wisconsin and curt schrader of oregon. that would have been enough to defeat the bill. but

kyrsten sinema is a moderate likeoe manchin who has had objections. she has to sign off on this.the senate, a ghost of the housework nancy pelos and this -- and that senate -- democrats -- where it will be surely signed into l. >> buds go to the 2022 commonwealth games which are underway. they are bng held in birmingham. this is the alexander stadium where a live audience of 30,000 people are enjoying the ceremony. birmingham is one of the uk's largest cities, known for his industrial history, diversity, arts and more. >> it gives an opportunity to show the world how this place has progressed. a huge business conference here. investments will, --come. >> it comes at a time when the u.k. is facing major cost of living pressures. that has got people asking will it be worth it. speaking as an event, the outgoing uk prime minister had this to say. >> i am here to tell you that i am supremely confident that the answer to that question is yes. a thousand times yes and i say so because i remember 10 years ago, an identical moment of nerves just before meeting the games. >> you the photo

if that happened, brings the democrats to 52 which means they can still lose joe manchin and kyrsten sinema and still carveout the filibuster exception and pass something. the president putting democrats on notice that he would go around the objections of senators joe manchin and kyrsten sinema if it means they can get federal legislation on roe v. wade which is a big if because democrats would have to pick up two seats in midterm elections which many democrats are bracing for democrats to have a difficult time . >> and they have to keep the house majority. robert, this is a generational earthquake in terms of u.s. policy. do you think the white house is matching the seismic stakes of this moment? >> i think that is a great question that today's event will have to go a long way towards demonstrating the commitment that this white house has. a lot of women around this country, and a lot of democrats, want to know that this white house is ready to meet the moment that the political establishment in washington is ready to meet this scary moment. i think it is important that the president is re

first, we don't know if kyrsten sinema is on board for this. the carried interest rate is one of the things that she had previously drawn a red line on. her office is a no comment right now. and the second piece of that, is this the fact that senator dick durbin has now tested positive for covid. he's not the first person if the last few weeks that we've seen this happen to but when you have a 50/50 senate, you do need everybody in the room to vote for this. so the fact they're having more unexpected absences, durbin could have a short case and he said thankfully that he has mild symptoms but at the same time if they want to do this next week, coy count five days just from here that would mean he would have to test negative by wednesday and back here in the senate to vote. there is also the fact that senator manch manchin himful -- himself is also testing positive. >> as ali just explained. a huge day for president biden. the chips bill passed in the morning and then the manchin/schumer deal is announced later in the afternoon. but the fly in t

you know, joe manchin and kyrsten sinema in different ways each stood against the virtually unanimouse democratic party for something that's far broader than what we have been talking about over the last several weeks. and this has been just a brutal series of developments for democratic activists and the millions of people who came out to vote for them in 2018 and 2020 with the supreme court decision on roe, the demise, the legislative demise of their climate agenda. i think the president is coming back to a situation that's more volatile than even the white house seems to recognize in terms of the degree of unease and anger in the democratic party, anger at republicans, anger at manchin and kyrsten sinema, but angry at the party's leadership, especially among young democrats who have become more and more local saying they are failing to meet the magnitude of the challenges of the country bases from issues from democracy to climate to the roll back of rights that's now underway. >> and speaking of leadership, democrats have been lamenting they need biden to be more of a fighter. reac

so it makes sense. >> so what about senator kyrsten sinema, she still hasn't commented, she has had somes about some of the methods to pay for this bill. you need her vote. it's a 50-50 senate. are you worried she could sink the whole thing? >> listen, again, we've been inv involved, she's a very effective senator. she was very active, for example, in working to get the now after two years of us working, to get the chips bill, which has not gotten much attention but will look back as kind of a 21e st century sputni moment where we as a country step up on semiconductors but other research and development. but senator sinema has some concerns, but we have a structure that doesn't destroy venture capital. again, i have not seen these materials, but i'm going to get senator sinema weigh in once she reviews the documents. on the components beyond the drug pricing, it did catch a lot of us off guard. >> senator john cornyn said republicans were deceived with the quick turn around with passing the chips bill to the announcement of the manchin/cornyn bill. so what do you say to your republican c

her silence could be deadly to this thing. >> it could be deadly, we haven't heard from kyrsten sinema, i think people are more concerned that senator joe manchin is going to stick to the steel. senator sinema has made clear, throughout the months and months of negotiations, through the different negotiations of this bill, but the climate components are actually one of the most important things to her. and the fact that those 400 billion dollars dedicated to climate, the largest investment in history by colleague at the washington post, tony rahm, reports, i think this might be enough to get her over the finish line together to support it. but, she hasn't come out saying one way or another, just about 30 minutes ago i checked in with her office and they still don't have anything to report yet. but this is something that was a huge surprise. not only to reporters, not only to senate aides, but senators and lawmakers as well. and so, democrats are thrilled about, it will see if they can get this over the finish line. >> all right, then i think of a harder question. because when i look at

pass remember kyrsten sinema. and even if it does pass.ill democrats be able to use it to save themselves in the november midterms. joining us now is senator amy klobuchar, democrat from -- publicly championing the steal. senator thank you for being here tonight. this is a big victory for your party this week but the question is on the table is this, once the bill passes, will it work to get voters to the polls, will people credit you for it because there, is a pull off from third, with only one in four americans even know you are partly pass bipartisan infrastructure bill and that was last year >> okay, mehdi, they may not know the names of these bills, but they know when you have their backs. and what's happening right now, thanks to chuck schumer's leadership and patience, and all the democrats who have come together, is not only are we making our rearview pointed out that the most made major investment and climate, just when we've seen forests burning and california and in the west, last summer, all over my state. but we also are stand

remember kyrsten sinema.nd will democrats be able to use it to save themselves in the november midterms? joining us now is senator amy klobuchar, democrat from minnesota who has been publicly championing this deal. senator, thank you for being here tonight. this is a big victory for your party this week. but questions still on the table, this. once the bill passes will it work to get voters to the polls? will people credit you for it? there is a poll out from third way that shows that one in four americans know your party is part of the infrastructure bill and that was last year. >> okay, they may not know all of the names of these bills but they know when you have their backs. and what is happening right now, thanks to chuck schumer's leadership and patience and really all of the democrats clung together, is not only are we making it, as you pointed out, both major investment, in climate, just when we've seen forests burning, in california and in the west, and last summer all over my state, but we also are s

. -- i should also note that the senate's other democratic obstructionist, kyrsten sinema, remember her? reportedly just learned of this deal this afternoon and has not yet committed to backing the proposal. she could still racket. and even if it does pass the senate with manchin and sinema 's -- it will still have to overcome the objections of some conservatives in the house as well. joe manchin support does appear to be a potential big victory for democrats. especially for chuck schumer and for joe biden. one that maybe do, in no small part, to smart messaging. back in january, inspired by the idea from national -- i joked on a little website called twitter. com but democrats should rename build back better as the anti-inflation act of 2022 and then put it in front of the mansion to vote down. and six months later, that is sort of what they just did. just take a look at that press release again. here is the headline. manchin supports inflation reduction act of 2022. that is how democrats are shifting the narrative on this new slim down version of biden 's legislative agenda. because m

>> i've been in touch with kyrsten sinema but not on this topic. we've been actually working on several other of the weighty issues that are coming through. but she has, as you indicate, yet to announce her public position on the bill. i know she's studying it very carefully. >> okay. another priority for democrats is a bill to codify same-sex marriage. senator susan collins, as you know, republicans not particularly happy with this democratic agreement here. they feel that democrats pulled an end around on them. you said that the budget bill will make it harder to get gop votes to support the same-sex marriage bill. do you believe this bill will still get the ten republican votes it needs to go forward? >> i do think it will get the ten republicans we need to move forward. however, the timing is now quite uncertain. not only are we dealing with some senators who are out because of covid, but we also will be in our last week before the august recess which is next week, tackling this large reconciliation package that has climate change provisions, l

president, you don't have the votes because kyrsten sinema and joe manchin are not in favor of even aineffective to do that. beyond that there's a lot of growing complaints from democrats about how biting needs to take bold action and just stop making speeches about this, and yet he hasn't, and this i think is hurting him. it's providing talk -- i know we will talk in the next segment about the midterms, but at the same time, when you have all these state-by-state battles, you talk to the governor of mississippi about this, some democratic prosecutors saying they are not going to enforce the law in the red states. i don't know how they can possibly get away with that, some pro-life group saying, you know, we're going to go try to have legislation for citizs to sue anybody who tries to go to a state where it's legal, and finally, you have mike pence saying let's have a nationwide ban, but evan mccarthy is saying have a banner for 15 weeks, summer republicans are nervous about the impact of a total ban. >> mike: mollie, the pro-life movement has been going after, wanted to go after roe

until the last minute and there is some doubt about what the lady from arizona was going to do, kyrsten sinema. host: you have a voting situation as well, some lawmakers have tested positive for covid-19. that has thrown voting up in the air. there is also in the house a delay on a vote on banning assault weapons. that is tied up in legislation for funding police and other public safety proposals. where do you come down on the ban on assault weapons and this package? guest: i'm a member of the gun violence prevention caucus. remember the worst shooting in american history was in my district. about 60 people eventually died from that murder at a concert right on the strip. so i am very much in favor of doing some kind of gun violence regulation. i wanted to see us do bump stocks because that's what the person in my district used was a bump stock to turn a regular weapon into an automatic one. i don't think you need weapons of war on the streets of our community. and you see how many gun deaths have occurred since then. whether you are in a movie theater or a dance hall or concert or church or g

but how about arizona, juanita, that's the big question, is kyrsten sinema gonna get on board?has been quiet, she was refusing to answer questions earlier today, and honestly, i think everybody is looking over their soldier for a potential spoilers. if anything, we know that senator sinema is likely to make a statement or raise some type of issue and make noise about the corporate tax and they're rewriting of the corporate tax to have a 50% minimum. so that is what she has done in the past, that's exactly what you need to do now. my only requested the senator's do that's in negotiations and constructive productive conversations. don't do some dramatic floor both move like we have seen her do in the past. make this something that actually is going to respond to what people need in this moment. including rewriting the tax code, including lowering prescription costs, including putting forth investments to save our planet, which is burning before our eyes. and one thing i want to add about what's him said, it goes a little bit beyond silly politics, because when we know that republ

kyrsten sinema's actual person we need to hear from.yet to hear exactly which she is going to do it senator manchin says he thanks there's a bill that will work for her. she's really been an enigma rather than a career. we have to wait and see. certainly also democrats are really arguing hard this is going to reduce inflation. this achieve similar key priorities. the inflationary impacts, the economists we have talked to said they could be pretty modest and they could be long-term. in terms of a regular. >> sometimes regular americans who are frustrated about inflation, frustrate about gas prices were really filling this economy the idea they're going to feel any relief from this between now and the midterms appears unlikely for the question becomes can the democrats a message if they get to the finish line in a way that is compelling for those people? >> on foreign policy of china's president issuing the stern warning to present biden about the prospect of house speaker nancy pelosi stopping in taiwan for cheese announce the trip she's

remember, we have not heard from kyrsten sinema since the bill was. announced the last word from her spokesperson said she was still reviewing. it but we know that she has been vehemently opposed to that closed interest loophole. that is something that senator manchin defended keeping in the spell. he said that it is his argument for why he thinks it does not raise taxes. and he really explain why some i should still back. it listen to how he made an appeal to her this morning. >> she basically insisted that no tax increases, we've done that. she was very adamant about that. i know i support and i agree with her. she was also very instrumental in making sure that we are drug prices that medicare could compete on certain drugs to bring it down to that there wouldn't be an impact on individuals. on medicare across. she is doing all of this. she is a tremendous amount of impact input on this piece of legislation. and i like think to think should be her hero towards it. but i respect you, decision from a current decision based on context. >> now we know s

arizona's kyrsten sinema, a key moderate who has gotten in the way of her party's agenda in the past,as yet to say whether she'll support it. norah? >> caitlin huey-burns, thank you. >>> well, president biden and chinese president xi jinping confronted each other in a marathon two-hour call. one of the topics was taiwan. the chinese are demanding that house speaker nancy pelosi cancel her trip there. there is growing friction over the island that china claims as its own territory. the white house says president biden said united states opposes efforts to undermine peace across the taiwan strait while xi warned that, quote, those who play with fire will perish by it. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back. here's to real flavors... real meals. real good. all of knorr's high quality pasta and rice sides are now made with no artificial flavors or preservatives. knorr. taste for good. ♪ >> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." >> i'm jan crawford in washington. thanks for staying with us. federal action on climate change may be on the way after west virginia senator joe manchi
