senator rick scott tweeted out it is time to look at the 25th amendment now that we see all of thesen. what are your plans in terms of leadership as we are in this incredible moment in time? if rick scott says president biden's cabinet must put politics a aside and act in the best interest of the american people. biden's tragic and inexplicable failures in afghanistan defy logic. it's time to consider the 25th amendment. and you say? >> i say my moment at this moment is getting every american out. when we get beyond that point, we're going to collect all the data, and we have an institutional responsibility to hold people accountable. and we will take it wherever the facts bring that forward. if that's the case, we will move forward. maria: can you say anything about your classified briefing on afghanistan to share with us? >> those are classified briefings. one thing i will tell you is we should have the members of congress back for another classified briefing before they bring our men and women out of there. they have americans knowing -- the state department talked about 11,000 am

florida senator rick scott voted against the measure over the size and scope. this first ring for me because i support infrastructure. but less than half this money is going to go to roads, bridges, airports and seaports. senator marco rubio said he didn't support the bill because it tied to the larger human infrastructure package which is a 3.5 trillion dollar bernie sanders budget. president joe biden celebrated the passage and thanked the senators who voted in support of the bill that i truly believe will transform america. this isn't the end of the road. the house still needs to pass the package and house speaker nancy pelosi has already said she won't do that without the 3.5 trillion dollars spending deal in tow. >> reporting in washington. i'm kelly meyer. california's senators are callin the infrastructure bill. a win for our state. the bill includes billions of dollars in help to prevent wildfires deal with the drought and upgrade. the state's roads, bridges and public transit senator padilla released a statement that reads in part, this bill will impro

of strongholds that do not want to see this, because, like in an interpret you had from senator rick scott is going to lead everybody down a path that republicans are extremely against, and they're going to be a strong hold. >> juanita, talk to me about the split inside the democratic party the congresswoman felt as if the speaker would have the ability to deal with the split inside the party, but give me your kind of sense, when it comes to moderate democrats saying, listen, let's vote on this on its own, and then deal with reconciliation? >> look, yasmin, i'm looking at the how moderates like why oh why would you put in payable a big portion of the democratic agenda at this point? we're seeing it play out in social media. progressives are shooting back, why are you willing to sink a big part of biden's agenda. so i want to cling to the hope that representative moore communicated, but get it across the finish line was such a thing margin in the house will be a big undertaking. i think it -- whether we have the moderates in the house -- democratic caucus saying we put it out there to show

human infrastructure stuff and the republicans who will vote against it tomorrow, some of them like rick scott. that's what they are saying they were moaning out against is the human legislative bill which goes 3.5 to 5.5 in the house version. democrats will be made happy overall house and senate democrats will be happy when the bill finds itself in the reconciliation posture once the senate in the house come together and you will find a small gang and new leaders -- and they will be signed on the president's desk. the main idea is you will pass these bills tomorrow with 50 votes on a straight-up yay or nay vote and that shows it can be on when it's important. we don't have to have the 60 vote threshold it's arbitrary i know it's about reconciliation and managing budget but the reality is that senate leaders and the 50 vote threshold whenever they feel like. it we need to do that on voting rights. >> stewart, to help me out. to do that we have to go back to segments to something we did in our opening segment tonight and it was around johnson and soundbite and as you know he's of the drive-by a

to name a few, south carolina "senator tim scott, florida senator rick scott," and "former secretaryt-- ( audience booing ) okay. ( laughter ) then you might enjoy these next jokes. in fact, pompeo has already formed his very own political action committee: "champion american values pac," or "cavpac." ( laughter ) cavpac is a fairly awkward name, but not as bad as what he's calling his fans and donors: "tipe ers." ( laughter ) because if you think mike pompeo shou ( laughter and applause ) now-- ( cheers and applause ) ( piano riff ) now, apparently, in this regard, "pipe hitter" is a military term for people in special ops. but some folks on the famously horny internet had a different understanding of pipe hitter-- ( laughter ) a sexy understanding. so pompeo set them straight by tweeting out audio from this speech: >> best c.i.a. officer that i ever came to know. i'd asked him about someone who was working on our team, and i'd say, "what do you think of him?" or, "what do you think of her?" and he'd say, "love that guy, pipe hitter." he meant that person got stuff done. they were a

democrats and senators who are key to the movement and to the effort, including john barrasso, rick scottthe border, inflation, are all things doing well with republican voters and a lot of them are coming to a head. this month, 15 months out from the midterms, and showing inflation especially with democrats planning to pass their $3.5 trillion reconciliation package. all of them are helping give them an extra boost ahead of what they expect to be, a really intense midterm cycle. >> it strikes me that you point out that it's a messaging opportunity not necessarily a policy opportunity. you said that those messages are resonating with republican voters what about persuadable voters? >> well, i think that's something that we have to look into more with internal polling, especially. i think that persuadable voters, it's hard. one of the big issues that we thought democrats would do well on and their handling of is lauded is their handling of the coronavirus pandemic we're seeing some of that support peel back as the delta variant is surging across the country and as we see a return to indoor

rick scott saying i don't believe the government should mandating things, i believe the private sector are rumored to want to run for president. let's say this, one lesson i drew is how quickly the politics of coronavirus can change, right? remember at the outbreak it was independents. they're turning against him and that is worrisome for a governor. independents are also turning against president biden on this issue. so you have to ask how do you address this problem. >> we have to get rid of covid and the pun lick is upset and frustrated and they're going to take it out on everybody. >> it is a reality, it is a game changer. it changed the game for desantis and it is changing the game for biden and everybody. it is so easily trance missble. people want to go back to school, people thought we would have a normal fall, and we're not. this is not normal and it will not be normal for awhile. >> someone said at some point if you're not telling the blunt truth yo will be penalized. >> you can't politicize something people are seeing show up in their neighborhoods. it has become a political

here's what republican senators rick scott of florida and johnson of florida had to say about this announcementthe ability to tell us to wear a mask or take a shot. i'm so sick and tired that some bureaucrat thinks they're so smart they can tell us what to do. >> right now my office is being inundated with urgent pleas for help, throughout the private sector and military as well that because they don't have faith in the federal government, because the health agencies haven't been forthright and transparent, they don't want to be forced to take a vaccine. >> joining us now, nbc news white house correspondent. tell me what's behind the biden administration's administration to do this? >> reporter: we knew, alicia, this has been in the works for a couple of weeks. this is something they had asked the military to look into. the fda is likely going to authorize full approval for at least the pfizer vaccine and then probably the moderna shots in the coming weeks because of this issue of not wanting to have any federal vaccine mandates for the entirety of the country, but there are some sectors where

one of your colleagues across chamber, senator rick scott, republican, floated on twitter the 25th amendment to remove president biden of his handling from the exit from afghanistan. your take. >> let's get everyone out of the country including american citizens first and then we can have a big old messy fight where the blame goes. i agree with august, the effect on american deterrents of this catastrophe will be devastating. to the point about china, they were selling it as a way to free up resources for china. it is having the opposite effect. we had to rewrite a carrier, pakistan's victory threatens india. it doesn't make sense on geopolitical terms. biden should surrender the right to have a second term in office because he has messed up u.s. foreign policy. >> harris: congressman pflueger and gallagher, thank you for your service first of all in the military and for being here today to help us get through some of the breaking news. appreciate you being in focus. >> thanks, harris. >> harris: remember the gitmo five? former president obama said they wouldn't cause anymore trouble after h

for things like roads and bridges isn't really going along with just a trillion dollars, here is rick scott on fox news sunday. >> nancy pelosi has said all along she will not allow this bill to go through the house unless they get their 5.5 this will dollar reckless tax and spending bill done at the same time. so let's remember if you helped get this done, you have helping to get the $5.5 trillion bill done. peter: the president is here in wilmington, we don't expect to see him on camera for the rest of the day. we think he is going to go back to washington tomorrow, to watch play out the final hours of the vote, chris. griff: peter doocy in wilmington keeping track of the president wherever he goes, thank you, peter. jacqui. jacqui: working on 1 trillion-dollar infrastructure bill with final passage in final days, joined by bill cassidy. senator, thank you very much for joining us. senator: thank you for having me. jacqui: the bill could have passed last night but senator haggerty to block it and saying it was not, in fact, paid for but would add a quarter trillion dollars of the deficit.

phil: florida senator rick scott as well as miami area elected leaders have all put out statements ofrities here are now accepting donations and trying to coordinate sending relief supplies to the island like much needed food and water especially the haiti's south western peninsula where the epicenter was, in fact, the u.s. geological survey says that as 125 miles west of the heavily populated capital, the only positive, the energy are the earthquake went west ward away from port of prince. that's a positive in a very tragic situation, mike. mike: phil keating live from miami, thanks a lot. haiti braces for tropical grace. that's where ngo's can play a critical life-saving role. joining us from the capital of haiti, care.org assistant director for haiti programs mohamed, mohamed, welcome. were yeah, thank you, thank you. mike: what are you seeing on the ground in your location, sir? >> yeah, on the ground especially in the grand danse area, locality part of the country, we have seen massive devastations being, life lost or property destroyed or severely damaged. mike: what are the big

i did take a walk to one of the senate buildings with rick scott of florida and he said he voted no becauselear the cbo pay for and also, kind of out of protest is the sense i got for the fact that right after this we are moving to budget resolution, which is the framework for the 3.5 trillion dollar reconciliation package, that soft infrastructure that includes everything from starting schooling for all universal at the age of three years old, including two years of free community college. medicare benefits as well as climate change initiatives. that will be where we see a vote a rama. that could take hours. this is a symbolic way in for the white house -- this is a symbolic win for the white house. guy: in terms of what comes next, what is your sense? how dug in is everybody? this will be something the democrats have to do on their own. when will we start getting clarity on the shape and the form of this next leg? annmarie: two things. we could see the house get called back even though they are on recess to take up these measures. speaker pelosi has made it very clear she is only doing bi

trump actually questioning whether president biden should should still be president in then senator rick scottup again today. that is how out of line i believe this decision is being digested. >> do you think the white house understands that or do they loo at twitter in think were probably good here if we hold o for a few more days. >> at think they know it's more than a checkmark that will die out in a few days. if it weren't that serious in part of it is that because of coming from inside the house. you had a clear difference of opinion you are watching john kirby's face when he is talking about this and he's part of the longtime community that agreed with the advice that we can't just pull out like this. in the interviews, president biden and i should mention the prime minister of the uk said the same thing that the taliban will not take control ever again . that's not a problem, we can pull out and that won't be an issue. so you can see that there are some discrepancy going on in terms of especially those who have been over there themselves in the last time their practice policy was enacte

florida senator rick scott voted against the measure over the size and scope.se i support infrastructure. >> less than half this money is going to go to roads, bridges, airports and seaports. senator marco rubio said he didn't support the bill because it tied to the larger human infrastructure package which is a 3.5 trillion dollar bernie sanders budget. president joe biden celebrated the passage and thanked the senators who voted in support of the bill that i truly believe will transform america. this isn't the end of the road. the house still needs to pass the package and house speaker nancy pelosi has already said she won't do that without the 3.5 trillion dollars spending deal in tow reporting in washington. i'm kelly meyer. california senators are calling the infrastructure bill a win for our state's the bill includes billions of dollars to help prevent wildfires. >> deal with drought and upgrade. the state's roads, bridges and public transit. senator padilla released a statement that reads in part, quote, this bill will improve californians lives and star

infrastructure stuff and the republicans who will vote against it tomorrow, some of them will like rick scott're saying they're voting against is the liberal human infrastructure which adds another $2 trillion going from 3.5 to 5.5 in the house version. but i think democrats will be made happy overall. house and senate democrats will be made happy when that bill finds itself in a reconciliation posture once the senate and the house have to come together. you'll find a small gang of elite leaders who get to a final compromise and it will be signed on the president's desk. but i think the main idea here, brian, is you're going pass these bills tomorrow with a straight up yea or nay vote, and that shows it can be done when it's important. we don't have to have this 60-vote threshold. it's ashtary. i know it's about the budget, but the reality is the senate leaders can make it a 50-vote threshold whenever they feel like it. and we need do that on voting rights. >> hey, stuart, help me out. to do that, i'm going to go back two segments to something we did in our opening segment tonight. it was jus

florida's senator rick scott as well as most miami area elected leaders have all put out statements ofe people of haiti. local charities here are also accepting donations for relief supplies like much-needed food and water and medicine, especially to haiti's southwestern peninsula where the epicenter was. six years ago hurricane matthew, a category four, destroyed much of the island with massive mudslides, and those could be coming yet again in a couple of days as another tropical system will be arriving there this week. eric? eric: all right, phil. phil from little haiti in miami. and, you know, the earthquake that hit haiti is not enough, tropical storm grace may be slowing down, but it's still on track the slam the caribbean nation on tuesday. peen time, fred -- mean time, fred is a tropical storm yet again expected to hit the florida panhandle as early as tomorrow afternoon. meteorologist adam klotz has the full forecast. i tell you, haiti, the poor people, they just can't get a break. hi, adam. adam: absolutely right. both of those storms, here they are. grace lined up to hit hait

listen to this comment from florida's republican senator rick scott, the irony is inescapable. >> since covid started it's been all political. just give us good information. americans are smart. they'll make good decisions for their families. >> now, he is right that the pandemic has been politicized from the beginning. but that is due in large part to his party. and in his own state, the governor is literally selling anti-fauci t-shirts on his website and as americans listen to these dangerous theories on social media, more and more children who cannot be vaccinated are becoming infected including 11 month old ava had to be air lifted a hospital 150 miles away from her home because there were no beds left at any of the pediatric hospitals in houston. >> it hurts. like i wouldn't want this pain on no other mother. to be witnessing their kid having seizures, flatlining, tubes down their float, being hospitalized. it gets me mad that everyone is taking covid as a joke and it's not a joke. like it's very, very serious. our babies are in danger. everybody is in danger. >> this morning we're

then former senator and former governor rick scott backing up ron desantis because yolo. >> let people make their choices. this is not a country where we need people telling us what to do. i love my mom. i hate her telling me what to do. >> last but not least, glenn grothman, who shut down an interview when he was asked a very simple question. >> are you vaccinated, congressman? >> i don't like to get into taking sides on it, okay? so that's -- >> except here's the thing, that's not a hard question. there are no sides. there are no political sides. it's about life and death. republicans know what side to be on and it seems that they have chosen to be on the side of death. joining me now is christina greer, associate professor of political science and matthew dowd, founder of country over party. matthew, i'm going to go to you on this first. i'm watching this situation where republicans have decided that where they're going to draw the line and the hill they're going to die on is that those of us who have gotten vaccinated, who are afraid of covid, who are masking, will not be allowed t

rick scott, his company took a bunch of money from medicaid and medicare, serious questions of joe biden'soval from office. none of these people care about this. it's hard to listen to. you had 16 republicans vote against visas for afghan allies. now they're acting like they care so much about them. mike pompeo posing in a picture with the guy who's running afghanistan saying look at this great deal we put together. this was trump's policy, and they loved it, and now they're deleting their tweets, even trump. there he is. mike pompeo, your thoughts, david. >> of course trump last year wanted to have a summit with the taliban on 9/11 at camp david. people thought he finally was talked out of that. for 20 years, the american public has been fed nothing but lies. i hate to say that, nothing but lies about afghanistan, about what we could do there, and what we couldn't do there. you referenced this early in the show. doug loot who was the afghan czar for the george w. bush administration and barack obama in 2015 told government interviewers, we don't know what we're doing, we have no clue. we'

we heard it from senator rick scott last week, and the 25th amendment, that craziness and we heard itndsey graham now, and that's exactly what you said, that's from the peanut gallery and the cheap seats, that's for the fox news audience. >> and we don't like to quote the insurrection and big lie enthusiasts, we merely do in this case to let people know it's out there. bill, this one is coming to you. and this is aaron david miller, the veteran state department middle east hand, he wrote this on social media tonight. media coverage is turning afghanistan into the fulcrum of western civilization and biden's withdrawal, however incompetent, into a narrative of cosmic betrayal, incompetency, collective compromise of security, and liberal value, and the end of u.s. influence. enough already. bill, is there a good chance he might be right? >> i don't really think so, actually. i mean it's nice to sound sophisticated, oh, we shouldn't be so upset, taum calm down, take the big picture and people did that in 1979 with the iranian revolution and the hostage crisis and we got to it eventually a

florida senator rick scott suggests president biden be removed from office because of this debacle. removing the president from office? >> what is unfolding in afghanistan is an absolute disaster. it is catastrophic and their need to be serious public congressional inquiries into what went wrong and there are two options. number one, the intelligence and war planning of the biden administration was catastrophically wrong. they did not anticipate what would happen or number 2, the intelligence and planning accurately predicted what would happen and the political leadership of the biden harris administration disregarded that intelligence and planning. either way what we've seen is a disaster. what we have seen is a poorly executed exit from the theater in danger ring the lives, thousands of americans remain in afghanistan. it appears the administration has no reasonable plan to allow those americans to leave. thousands of afghans aided and assisted our military presence for decades and it appears the administration has little to no plan to help those afghans exit the country as well a

discussion goes on people are being asked to weigh in from a political standpoint here is senator rick scotts in florida and trying to give parents choice. >> we can't go back to fear. fear that kills jobs, fear that shuts down schools, fear that slows everything down because it hurts all families. if you feel comfortable get the vaccine, if you don't figure out how to keep yourself safe. that's what i believe we ought to be doing. >> dana: parents are wrestling with this. there is also all the other peer pressure that comes with it whether you want masks or you don't, there is pressure all around. >> that's right. and the reality is that right now we've got to recognize that we're in a situation that is probably temporary. the delta strain is expected to peek in the next 2 to 4 weeks in most part of the country and we see a rapid decline. north you'll see increases. that is their normal viral season. you'll see an increase but far less than you'll see that we've witnessed in the south. i think people need to make their own individual choices and figure out what's best for them and their chi

let's go to senator rick scott, a navy veteran, senator, thank you so much for being here. have paperwork, but they can't get through. have you ever seen anything like this type of disaster zone and chaos that's unfolding in kabul under this administration in. >> i am disgusted. i mean, this is not how america should act. what joe biden has done to put american citizens and at risk and american allies and gavins that helped us -- afghans that helped us is just disgusting. when you hear the story of americans being beaten and just the chaos going on, and these people are -- they don't know if they're going to be alive, they're going to be dead. the harm that he's put american soldiers in, i mean, it's just -- i don't know where joe biden is. i hope this guy is healthy and strong enough to lead because if you look at right now, he's clearly not doing it. he's been on vacation since he got elected, and he's put americans in harm's way not just there, which he clearly has, but we've got an open southern border. so who, what terrorists are going to be coming across our border be

is which owe why everybody from rick ryder it mark ov klon vick to tom lee are bullish, not just a little bullish they're pretty bullish >> yeah, and they're bullish, scott, because, of course, the fed has said that they are going to let inflation run they're going to not just cut it off as soon as they start to see it rear its head, which it has, of course. but they're going to let it run. and if they had been more hawkish on inflation and said we will likely hit this and hit it hard because we have thrown so many trillions at the market already, then i think you wouldn't see the four people that you just named as bulled up as they are. but because they're going to let it run, scott, yeah, that's great for asset prices we all know there is somebody to pay down the line. but to josh's point, as far as these midterms and so forth, that is going to mitigate some of the -- i'll call it progressive agenda that as far as the spending it probably won't be as large, taxing, i don't know if they pass anything on tacking they barely got the 28 billion in on cryptocurrencies and i don't think that will even make the house bill. so i don't think that will be part o
