and this next question comes over to you, senator portman. the u.s. has long been a leader in this space and we've seen over the last several congresses that the u.s. government has taken some serious steps to say, we're going to keep products were produced with forced labor from entering the u.s. economy. but knowing that right now we are at a pivotal moment, what more can the u.s. do to ensure that our supply chain, both on the private side but also, i think, importantly the public procurement side is free of forced labor? >> well, thank you, kristen. it's great to be on on with dr. lebaron but also lady may, the prime minister. they've accomplished so much. as you have at the mccain institute. i think we've actually done a pretty good job on the procurement front since 2012. and this is important because i think the federal government can be a model for the private sector, and frankly for other governmental units. but i know you're aware of this. senator mccain was quite involved with this legislation. we have a zero tolerance now among contractors

portman: yeah. no, i would just say, obviously, those officers, who you say, had interior posts, needed it that day. so it's not accurate to say that they didn't need it. but i know that you activated seven of these civil disturbance unit platoons. and then only four of them had riot gear. i don't know why you would have a civil disturbance unit platoon that didn't have riot gear. but you've just testified that that's true, that only four of them had it. is that correct? steven: that is correct. and just one additional point, since i've been chief i've actually pushed for every member in the department to have riot helmets. i had ordered those back in september, but we had been looking at delays because of covid from the manufacturer, getting them delivered. and they actually just started being delivered january 4th and distributed to our officers just days before this with limited numbers being given to the officers prior to this event. sen. portman: yeah. too late for many of those officers. chief

portman says there's other pay-fors that they're looking at. of course, because this bill hasn't been fully written, there hasn't been a chance for the congressional budget office to crunch all of the numbers, figure out what is and is not paid for. that is clearly top of mind for republicans. >> and what about the other democrats-only bill? the main complaint with a huge infrastructure package was democrats are including things that aren't typical infrastructure, so democrats split that. are they hoping to do that through budget reconciliation? >> that's exactly the plan. in fact, that bill is the reason why chuck schumer is in such a hurry to get this bipartisan deal through. he wants to get it off the senate's place so they can move quickly to the massive $3.5 trillion infrastructure deal that democrats would do without any republican support to be able to to get ahead, all of those major biden priors wouldn't great to in the deal. climate change, efforts to help families as well as families and child care, other steps like that. the real qu

. >>> senator ron portman of ohio who you saw there said that's not the way to pay. >> one reason it's not part of the proposal is we did have pushback. another reason is we found out that the democrats were going to put a proposal into the reconciliation package, which was not just similar to the one we had, but with a lot more irs enforcement. in terms of irs reform or irs tax gap, which was what was in the original proposal, that will no longer be in our proposal. it will be in the reconciliation proposal, we were told. >> it's left lawmakers scrambling to figure out another way to raise the necessary revenue without raising taxes or adding to the debt. >>> joining us now, congressional reporter nicholas wu. good morning. this has been a long saga with lots of twists and turns. where are we now? what are the roadblocks that we're currently facing in order for this infrastructure deal to happen? >> you identified one of the key roadblocks here. senators are still trying to figure out ways to pay for anything let alone identify their key spending priorities. and so even if the senate

this is a massive proposed spending package, and portman says this is going to be really good for thee's how he explained this >> this is going to add to the supply side of the economy, not the demand side, to increase jobs, provide funding over time, five, ten, 15 years. it helps make the economy more efficient, more productive therefore it will result in more revenue comes in to the federal coffers. >> so, kelly they say they can begin the process of voting, and there's a long process here this evening. they're going to need ten republican votes in order to pass this thing, not clear they have those ten votes in the bag. this is not a done deal but maybe the beginning of a potentially done deal. >> washington speak, eamon, thank you very, very much. amon javers for us >>> reporting another record quarter with $1.2 billion in net revenue, also upped guidance on wealth management trends joining me is staples ceo. can i ask if there's anything you would oppose in the infrastructure deal that's coming together? i would guess the major stumbling point because i don't think anybody's agai

our focus in the senate was more limited senator portman and i combined our committees to get some immediate answers so we could achieve this funding as well as to some other things that could not wait for a year. that we had to get done right away. that is why we convened immediate hearings with officials who are responsible for security at the capitol includingit people who are no longer in their positions and with representatives of key federal agencies we had the first hearings for that horrific day are resulting bipartisan joint report focused on the security, planning and response failures related to the violent and unprecedented insurrection. it includes key findings and recommendations that should be put in place without delay. we learn about one capitol police officer who could be heard on the radio that day asking a tragically simple question, does anyone have a plan? sadly, there was no plan. we found out there is no departmentwide operational plan before january 6. we are pleased we had a new chief police chief who has started this last week who i know will be committed to gettin

rob portman is the one negotiating away republican hands to the democrats, dinesh desousa, you think of louisiana, you think of senator kennedy who is so strong and solid and then cassidy elected in 2020, why are these republicans giving away the store with this infrastructure, giving biden his cover? >> republicans have a different psychology than democrats. republicans are literally trying to keep the biden ship afloat, the responsibility to prevent it from tipping over. there are no democrat to behave like this, the only democrat who even plays footsie with the other side is joe manchin, he is in a very conservative state which trump won decisively so there are political reasons for manchin to play to the center but cassidy is in a safety, louisiana, romney in utah. a lot of these never trump republicans were trying to make peace with the democrats, there is no political reason to do it. what they should be doing is letting the biden ship sinks the republicans can coast to victory in the midterms next year. laura: here is how senator bill cassidy is doing. >> we worked all day yes

it's ohio's rob portman, so cassidy represented by all of them, now rob portman is going to be the one negotiating away republicans hand to the democrat . joining me now is the host of the podcast. you think of louisiana, you think of senator senator kenned who is so strong and solid, and give got this guy cassidy, who was just elected in 2020 at disaster, why are these republicans just giving away th store over this infrastructure and giving biden a cover? >> it's because republicans hav a completely different psychology then democrats, republicans are literally tryin to keep the biden ship afloat. they feel it's they're responsibility to prevent it from kind of tipping over. there are no democrats to reall behave like this the only democrat who in essence even plays ftse with the other side is joe mansion. with hermes and there is a reason for that. he is a very conservative state which trump won decisively. think about cassidy, he's in a safe state of louisiana, think about romney in you job. so a lot of these sort of never trump republicans would try to kind of make peace with the

senator portman said that $60 billion in revenue expected to be gained by enforcing people paying theirfrom this legislation and so they're going to have to come up with another $60 billion of a different way of how to help pay for this $579 billion bill and that is one of the things they're discussing and one of the reasons they don't have legislative text yet. >> i want to come back to you for a moment. june was block buster month for job growth. the economy adding some 850,000 jobs. you mentioned the growing increase. is the white house painting a rosier picture than what the numbers might suggest? >> to a degree, yes they are. the numbers were good last month. \than they have been. it alleviated the fears, but they're not nearly as robust as what we would like to see. part of the reason for that is the mismatch. people are worried about childcare and all of the rest of it. the conversation in the white house is mostly about what happens in september when the extra unemployment rolls off, and it is time for everyone that is hesitant to get back in. we should see numbers twice what we

senator rob portman the lead republican negotiator in this group said on cnbc just moments ago, they're down to four or five remaining issues that still need to be figured out and agreed to. well, this group is going to continue to meet today. but despite the progress, republicans insist that they are going to vote and block this key test vote later today and that is going to force democrats and senate majority leader chuck schumer to reassess and figure out how to move forward. now, our sources are telling us, this is not going to be the end of these negotiation, if this vote fails, in fact, the bipartisan group says they will keep working and talking. they need to complete this legislative test until they vote to move to this legislation. a lot of senators are asking for a monday time line a. lot of democrats, especially the progressives are growing wary of these bipartisan talks saying that are republicans really ever going to finish what they have started and are they really trying to just kill this entire legislation? and so, the trust is a little bit breaking down up here. as long

in ohio, the republican primary to succeed retiring senator rob portman is a race to the conspiratorialt. candidate josh mandell continues to echo trump's lies about the stolen election. >>> and j.d. vance had to backtrack on his past comments that were critical of trump telling time magazine that trump is the leader of the movement and if i care about the people and the things i say i care about i need to suck it up and support him. >>> it's important to note blind loyalty to donald trump was not a requirement, rob portman likely would have run again. for republicans running to the far right, they could win votes in the primary. they could also lose votes in the general, and in a lot of places if you can't at least be competitive with the independents, the folks that sit in the middle of this elector rate, you can't win. but it takes a very specific set of circumstances to give democrats a shot in any of these places, ohio, oklahoma, you name it. republicans may be doing their best to create those opportunities for democrats. ultimately losing elections may be the only thing that makes

senator portman is right. people want this bill.e to obstruct and stone wall. i hope that's what voters remember next year at the midterms. >> uh-huh. joan? are we going to have a deal tomorrow, you think? one that can actually be debated and voted on? >> i don't think we'll have one tomorrow. from what i've heard from, you know, senator portman and toomey, the details aren't completely jelled yet. they're still pretty far apart. i don't know how far on transit investment and, you know, they're arguing, we already put too much in transit. if you take the subway in new york or the metro in d.c., or in san francisco, my three cities, you know it's not true. we're behind in transit investment. the deal would fall apart over that. i'm not ready to say it's going to happen. >> hey, charlie, today in the "new york times" michael wolf has an op-ed. among the people who have books about the trump presidency. his op-ed says flat out he says trump is definitely running for president in 2024. i'm on the other side of that. i say the man ain't

. >>> hill billy author katy advance may replace rob portman in ohio.s one of five competing and the race is all about trump loyalty. the same day as the announcement, a series of since deleted tweets remind all those of ohio he was not always a fan of the former president. with us, cnn's chief political correspondent dana bash. i have to say, the evolution of j.d. vance is fascinating because in so many ways, you know, he explained part of the movement that brought trump to power in 2016 disaffected americans, but he wasn't a fan himself. the tweets indicated he voted for evan mcmullan or he was going to in 2016. now vance going to mar-a-lago taking pictures of himself at trump rallies, wrapping himself as much as he can in trumpism. it's interesting to see, dana. >> it's fascinating to see. and it's an example of how that primary race in ohio amongst republicans to replace retiring senator rob portman is going to be one of the test cases of trumpism, the viability of trumpism, even in especially among classic typical trump supporters, the kind as you
