chuck schumer, manchin shared this number with schumer two months ago.ve been the last two weeks there's been this public outcry. you know, tell us what to do. well apparently he did at least tell biden and schumer. what do you make of the fact that schumer knew? we could have been talking about what the numbers look like a lot sooner. what is your sense of why we're just pretending to fine out now? >> i think just making sausage, chuck. this is how you get deals. you don't get deals by running out publicly and talking about negotiations between a member who is essential to getting this across the finish line. so if you're joe biden and you're chuck schumer and you've been around the senate as long as those two men have, you know the way to get joe manchin where you want him is not to immediately run out and tell everybody what his starting number was. clearly that was kept close to the vest because they wanted to get him up, get into the weeds with him, try to figure out what is there in there that you think has to go? what is it about the tax package?

that word from senate majority leader chuck schumer. a vote on bidens infrastructure measure is scheduled for today, just a little way from midnight government funding is supposed to expire. schumer says the bill will likely be signed into law before that deadline. hours earlier, president biden gave new meaning to the term closer with an appearance at the baseball gape or he was putting pressure on congress to pass the funding bill. >> the date for this game was set along time ago. no one imagined it would collide with this big milestone, but he

i should introduce senator schumer. from the bottom of my heart as well, thank you.he three of us walked the streets, other communities as well, the two are an incredible team and we are blessed to have you represented the state of new york. thank you. [applause] >> thank you, governor. thank you for being here and strong in a moment of great need. i want to thank the president for coming to talk to families. he understands the pain and sorrow that these families are going through, the resilience they will need to be able to rebuild and build back better, as the president has said. he is here on the ground because he cares and he is going to make a difference. i want to thank our first responders for never missing a beat, for being here every second of every day to meet the needs of this community.

leader schumer, senator schumer you heard say the white house, the senate, the white house, they've all reached an agreement on a framework for pay-for with the multitrillion dollar budget bill. speaker pelosi drilled into the stakes around the debt ceiling calling not addressing ate potential catastrophe. she called republican refusal appalling. she said she's confident they'll be able to keep the government open. it's a step forward. let's also keep in mind the broader context here. before pelosi spoke garrett haake, he put the politics of all of it this way. democratic priorities keep running into the brutal buzz saw reality of a 50/50 senate with republicans united. police reform talks over gun law talks, over. voting rights going nowhere. social infrastructure, prekars. mccaskill pinned it down like this. >> in the process, it looks awful and stupid to america and the republicans are banking on the fact that the democrats are going to take more of the blame than they are, because they're in charge. and it looks like a bunch of idiots running around right now. >> that political grid

schumer: mr.sident, i ask unanimous consent that the appointment at the desk appear separately in the record as if made by the chair. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. schumer: finally, mr. president, i ask unanimous consent that when the senate completes its business today it adjourn until 10:00 a.m., tuesday, september 28. that following the prayer and pledge, the morning hour deemed expired, the journal of proceedings be approved to date, the time for the two leaders be reserved for their use later in the day, and morning business be closed. that upon conclusion of morning business, the senate proceed to executive session to resume consideration of the donfried nomination with the time until 11:30 a.m. equally divided prior to a vote on the nomination. further, that following the disposition of the donfried nomination the senate resume consideration of the medina nomination and immediately recess until 2:15 p.m. to allow for caucus meetings. finally, if nominations are confirmed on

schumer: mr. president? the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. schumer: mr. president, last night senate republicans voted unanimously to make a default and a shutdown far more likely and in doing so, solidified themselves as the party of default. the party that says america does not pay its debts. now despite yesterday's stunning display of obstruction, the fact remains that we need to raise the debt ceiling. and in a few moments i will offer a way forward for us to avoid causing unnecessary and catastrophic default on the debt. over the last two days, the republican leader has repeatedly cited an instance in the mid-2,000's during which republicans held full control of the government and voted by themselves to increase the debt limit. here's what he said. that is exactly the same situation we're in now. exactly the same situation we're in now. now, the senate was able to raise the debt ceiling at that time because the then republican majority leader made a consent request to this body that cleared the way for the senate to increase the debt limit by a major

schumer: madam president. the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. schumer: we in a quorum? i ask unanimous consent the quorum be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. schumer: now, madam president, the senate begins this week with a lot to accomplish in very little time. this week and weeks to come, senate democrats will continue our work to pass historic legislation, to strengthen our economy, and renew america's middle class for the 21st century. very soon we'll also take up a -- a continuing resolution to avoid a needless government shutdown and provide emergency funding necessary to settle afghan refugees and those devastated by this summer's natural disasters. we must also work on a bipartisan basis to extend the debt ceiling, to preserve the very important and cherished full faith and credit of the united states. the united states will -- the senate will also consider recently introduced voting rights legislation, and advancing president biden's nominees to the judiciary and to his administration. so the next few weeks will be critical weeks fo

first, chuck schumer. obviously the "politico" team, the document that shows july 28th, senator schumer signed off on senator manchin's parameters of a $1.5 trillion spending bill. they both signed it, manchin signed it, schumer signed it. needs-based testing, means testing, for example, for the child tax credit, it lists no additional handouts or transfer payments, and it does raise the corporate tax rate up to 25%. i guess the question i have is that schumer said he never agreed to the conditions, but his signature is there, okay? he didn't not read it and sign it. >> i don't know -- >> how do you feel about this? this is july 28th. >> first of all, i don't think chuck schumer can sign away policy for 48, 49 other members of the democratic caucus and the senate. i suspect all he thought he was signing was acknowledging that this is what joe manchin's position was. but again, he can't bind 95% of the democrats in the senate to that position. and so to me, that's kind of one of these documents that is mean

chuck schumer can do his job. i have voted -- >> neil: so nothing was linked senator -- i understand. but to be clear, nothing was linkand if it's a stand-alone measure that you would be okay with? >> in terms of raising the debt creel something. >> yes. >> no. in terms of funding the government? yes. if you want to continue to fund the government and avoid a shut down, which chuck schumer can do without a single republican vote, i'd be happy to have that discussion. have to look at every one of these compromises the in past. there were several bitter pills i had to swallow to vote for increasing the debt ceiling. chuck schumer last a take it or leave it attitude and he has to take responsibility for it. >> neil: all right. they say it's a take it or leave it altitude with republicans. one way or the other, maybe we'll see this sorted out. senator tom tillis, thank you. >> thank you, neil. >> neil: you might have noticed the big numbers on the green in the corner of the screen. the dow storming back today. had not

schumer: now, mr. president, i want to make sure everyone understands exactly what has happened here on the senate floor. the republican party has now become the party of default

chuck schumer knew about it for a couple of months.s leaning on the far left of his caucus to believe they're going to go for broke in the $3.5 trillion bill. i'm wondering if chuck schumer is hearing some footsteps from aoc in the new york primary next year. >> brian: really quick, 168 of the 2,000 page bill, we're looking for fines $70,000 to dlb 700,000. that will destroy so many small businesses. the irs goes on steroids. you think they're going after amazon, you're dreaming? they're going after small business. final thought? >> yeah, all of the efforts for bureaucracy, whether it's the coded police force or giving irs tens of millions of dollars to come after small businesses to put more power in the hands of bureaucrats in washington. >> brian: who knows if it will pass. senator tom cotton, thank you so much. that was not tom cotton on the phone with nancy pelosi. we have news. my little pony joined antifa. but first, joe biden's secretary has a simple answer to parents upset by their kids being taught critical race theory? suck

senator schumer's been aware of it since late july. senator manchin said he told the president already this $1.5 trillion number. why is the decision been made strategicically to pursue senator manchin, senator sinema and not in the last couple weeks apply more pressure on progressives to take half a loaf. it's a $1.2 infrastructure plan, move on that. why was the decision made not do that? jen: these are huge priorities to the president. i also note when senator manchin was asked, he can speak for himself, just since i read the whole transcript here, he also repeatedly referred back to a document that went back to july 28. i would remind you this is an active negotiation. and discussion. it is incumbent upon members to put out where they stand and where they are. as we seen over the past couple days, that's an ever changing process. before you make conclusions about what the end results will be, i would remind you to look at the last several days or even even weeks about how these discussions have progressed. reporter: senator manchin

reporter: if you could elaborate on what senator schumer just said? [indiscernible] >> what we said was the house, the senate and the white house came to an agreement on how we can go forward in a way to pay for this. i do not know how you define some of the terms used loosely there about overwhelmingly, dam coalition, have been strong on child -- child text right, extending the affordable subsidies and the rest. the list goes on. we have consensus, overwhelmingly, maybe 10 to 1, 20 to 1, 20 21 in our caucus as to these priorities -- 10 to one , 20 21 in our caucus as to these priorities. i have disagreement with some that don't think we should do that. we came to terms as to a freemark, an array of agreements , depending on what the need is. at the same time, we are finalizing on the outlays side. if we need more or less, that will impact that. this was great progress. it is just writing bills, it takes time. you have to make decisions, and that is what we did. this is about what is in the bill. for children, what is in the bill? universal pre-k, chi

that's something leader schumer is working on as we speak. reporter: senators manchin and sinema don't seem to be giving you anything publicly. how much anger or upsetness is there over here at them and the effort to get them to do something? mr. jeffries: democrats are not a cult, we're a coalition. and we embrace that fact. we don't like bend the knee to one out of control former president who continues to lie about covid and the election. we're not a cult. we are a coalition. i think everybody recognizes that. we embrace that. there's progressives, there's new dems, there's blue dogs, there's people on the left, in the center, a few conservative democrats. that's the democrat coalition. we embrace the fact that we are the most authentic representatives, particularly in the house, the institution designed to be the closest to the people, the most authentic representatives of the american people. we take that seriously. the senate has its own dynamics. and it's obvious that one of the things that slowing down what's in front of us, the paral

we just finished a seven-week recess, and speaker pelosi and chuck schumer and senate leader are trying to ram through seven years worth of spending, a $1.2 trillion fake infrastructure bill, and a $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill. i won't bore you with the specifics but right now today as we speak we have $28.8 trillion national debt trillion dollars national debt. think about that. we can't afford either one of these spending bills. even if we could they are not worth buying. so on tuesday i i urged repubn leadership to start going against the $1.2 trillion so-called bipartisan fake infrastructure bill. i'm happy report on wednesday whip scalise announced at our republican study committee meeting they would be officially whipping against the bill. which is a formal republican position in the house of representatives against this phone infrastructure bill. these bills, both of these bills the reconciliation bill, the infrastructure bill, are a package. one can't exist without the other. we have given house democrats a tight window and they can't afford to lose more than a couple of me

schumer: now, mr. president, last night was a low point in the recent history of this chamber. with a government shutdown only days away and a default crisis coming in a matter of weeks, the senate was faced with a simple and urgent question -- shall the members of this chamber allow the federal government to pay its debt and stay open, or will its members accelerate our country towards a shutdown and a first-ever default. yesterday we got our answer. republicans voted unanimously, unanimously to block legislation to keep the government open and prevent an unnecessary default on our debt. republicans are now the official party of default, the party that says america doesn't pay its debts, the party that runs up balance on the credit card, receives an invoice in the mail, and sends the bill straight to the shreder. no average family could get away with what the republicans are trying to do, that's for sure. but republicans here shrug their shoulders and say we incurred the debt, but we don't have to pay it. republicans would let the country default for the first time in history,

schumer. they rallied with the league of conservation voters and met up with the leaders of the house's caucuses and then headed to the home of representative dunn by a -- representative don beyer. the multiple tasks piling up, resent -- represented a particular set of daunting challenges. at $3.5 trillion, social policy and just an update on where the house democrats are. democrats will hold a late afternoon caucus meeting on the way forward on the infrastructure bill social spending plan. what are your spending priorities for congress? the lines, 202-748-8000 for democrats, 202-748-8001 for republicans. for independents 202-748-8002. will >> -- >> overwhelmingly, i've never seen actually over 95% of caucus for anything. there are some who disagree and i respect that about the size of the package and some in the senate as well. we have to find our common ground respectful of each other's view. this isn't about moderates versus progressives, overwhelmingly the entirety of our caucus except for

if you're schumer, claire, how do you get this done?> well, i think he may have to separate the reconciliation and all of this stuff going on with that and continuing the government. he's rrb got three things he's got to worry about now. he's got to figure out how to get the reconciliation bill through without biden's package and figure out how to continue to fund the government. mitch mcconnell has amazing nerve. i mean, the republicans did this three times during trump, they raised the debt ceiling. and i think it's time to do away with this. you know, it seems to me when you vote to spend money, you are voting to raise the debt sealing because that's what they're defending. that americans won't understand what this is. it sounds like to americans that they're raising the limit on their credit card. no, they're not doing that. all they're doing is paying their bills. that's all they're doing. so, the notion they want to play political gains with america paying its bills is astounding to me. that they are trying to withhold every singl

i thank president biden and senator schumer for being willing immediately to help. we spoke repeatedly last night and this morning. thank you for your leadership and the way the state of new york responded. we are truly all in this together. and storms effect all of us. but what we have to recognize is the suddenness, the brutality of storms now. it is different. a record set two weeks ago, another set now. rainfall like we haven't seen ever before. this is the biggest wake-up call we could possibly get. we're going to have do a lot of things differently and quickly. but what is a constant is our first responders. i want to thank the men and women of the fdny and ems, nypd, environmental protection, all agencies out in force last night rescuing hundreds and hundreds of new yorkers. so many lives were saved because of the fast, courageous response of our first responders. people helped from a subway train safely, people helped out of a car in the flooded area, this happened literally hundreds of times last night and god bless our first responders that were there. we

host: the democratic leader on the floor, chuck schumer, yesterday.the minority leader, publican senator mitch mcconnell of kentucky, responded to him. here is what he had to say. [video clip] senator mcconnell: republicans are signing a spotlight on the reckless spending spree that democrats are writing behind closed doors. the radical list it -- left is pushing and all-new tips. using the pandemic as a trojan horse for permanent socialism. in president biden, identified as a moderate, is opposed to stop them or does not wish to. an avalanche. an avalanche of crushing contracts that would hurt families and help china. health care decisions, childcare charges, family finances, and daily lives. trillions upon trillions more in government spending when families are already facing inflation. none of this, of course, will get a single republican vote in the chamber. the democrats have not even consulted us. they have not tried to earn our votes. from the start, they plan to use a party line, fast-track process to ram through the senate this version of the

so chuck schumer says, we found way to do th, here's this workaround. in the senate you can do anything by consent. we'll do it this way. th senator ted cruz says, not so fast. m going to block things. you won't be able to use that avenue to reach the debt limit. this speaks to how republicans are tacessly ruthless in the way senate democrats are not. >> this is all about politics, right, not so much the policy or th debt limit. i think that is the biggest thing here, is that first and foremost it's not as if republicans have not been in power when the debt limit has needed to be increased, you know, the debt ceiling has needed to be raised. that has happened, they have voted for it. democrats have been on their side in doing this. mitch mcconnell has said over and over about how when he was majority leader, america cannot default on our debt, how detrimental it will be to the economy. but that doesn't mean even now him saying, if you can figure out a way to do it on your own, the rest of his party is not on board. so you have these people like ted cruz

chuck schumer says a deal has been reached to avoid a u.s. government shutdown this friday.e risks to president biden's economic agenda remain. no need to fret. leading central bank chiefs try to reassure the markets over inflation. we get the cpi readings from france and germany today. and a power crunch bites. activity and china contracts for the first time since the pandemic began. very good morning. warm welcome to the show. it is transitory, you know. that's the reassurance from the central bank. i do like christine lagarde's very precise direction. they don't believe it is transitory. 30 basis points. 25 basis points in the last week. herein lies the point. bank of america encapsulated it all for me. where are we in this stage of interest rate grief? the first state is recognizing the driver is good. the second stage is frightening. bank of america saying we are in the second stage. that has a lot of issues for credit. good morning. dani: good morning. your bond markets might be repricing but let me tell you what's happening on wall street. people are getting ready for

i will let that play out otherwise i point you to leader schumer's office. >> secondly.inaudible] are there any items there are unities like that child tax credit or anything there is an agreement? >> i think it's important to know in you give me an opportunity to do this, there is broad unity about the importance of again lowering cost for americans whether childcare, eldercare, cost of college, acosta pk, that is all part of the discussion child tax credit. there is broad agreement we need to do more to address the climate crisis. extensive proposals with the infrastructure package as well as in the reconciliation package. big part of what we are doing is not a secret to all of you is the size of the package with a range of different viewpoints. that pins point that discussion and well impact as we look toward how we unify moving forward. >> my hearing you say the white house at this point is okay with any of the financing options that are still on the menu? >> our bar has always been from the beginning not to raise taxes on anyone making less than $400,000 a year and

you know this manchin memo, i guess you can call it the manchin-schumer memo. it's been clear the final reconciliation wasn't going to be 3.5. the question is how north can it get to keep manchin and sinema in line. at this point i do not buy, maybe i'll prove to be naive that this is suggested manchin's plan, he plans to bail on the non-infrastructure piece of the package. i think all these things travel together. but this is going to be a big pill for some progressives to swallow. if we end up at 1, 5, i'll make a general point, to the, tent that anybody out there in the opportunityr country who is going to decide the 2022 election is paying attention, allthey know is there is no agreement or what's in these bills and eventually, that's a solvable problem. if are you able to pass these things, that will be a big part for the next 14 months, essentially. you got to get out. right now, it's big numbers. it doesn't mean anything to anybody. democrats are arguing. i'm not overly alarmed about that. the democrats have to go community by community and media market

i want to thank senator schumer. we spoke earlier today.he will get us the maximum federal aid. our homeowners need it. our business owners need it. people are going through hell right now. they need help. i thank president biden and senator schumer for being willing immediately to help. governor hochul, we spoke repeatedly last night, this morning. thank you for your leadership. thank you for the way the state of new york responded. we are truly all in this together. and storms affect all of us. but what we've got to recognize is the suddenness, the brutality of storms now. it is different. a record set two weeks ago. another record set now, rainfall like we haven't seen ever before. this is possibly get. we will have to do a lot of things differently and quickly. what is a constant is our first responders. i want to thank the men and women all of the agencies out that rescued hundreds and hundreds of new yorkers. so many lives were saved because of the fast kour ray those response of first responders. this happened literally hundreds of t

what do you know about this that chuck schumer announced today?t in it changes the state of play? >> garrett, we do not have the details on what was agreed to, but the key part was that the house previously had not planned to pay for the entirety of the package and the senate had insisted that they would pay for the entire package so we would not drive inflation, and that was an important premise. and this statement, that whatever the size of the package there's agreement between the house and senate it will be completely paid for that's what's significant right now. >> we should take the fact that chuck schumer gave this announcement standing side-by-side with speaker pelosi as an agreement, then, as you're saying with senate democrats say this whole thing will be paid for, house democrats now agree they will find the revenue to make those two line items match up? >> that's right. >> okay. >> my colleague from oregon who heads finance was very involved in this. there's been a big menu of options based on the premise that every american paying the

senator schumer. >> reporter: i was like get rid of that. >> starring in a revival of the producers, he produced, they are to hailing who schumer's latest show hello dollars, $16 billion broadway bailout into the covid relief bill. 160,000 small businesses close during the shutdown, broadway producers got billions in welfare thanks to schumer the musical hamilton got it shot, they received $50 million in taxpayer money and they can use the money anyway they like. laura: if you haven't seen hamilton you didn't get raymond's shot line. >> when tickets to $350 a seat they can afford to not take welfare. laura: in central park another advocacy event, the global citizen concert and somehow i missed it but bill deblasio, that didn't go so well. >> new york city is proud to be at the forefront of the climate revolution with our own new york city green new deal. >> you can see from this action why they only raised $1.1 billion which is 16 times less than broadway got welfare. he was also booed at the rained out new york homecoming concert a few week

meanwhile in the politically cringeworthy moment of the day, new york senator and majority leader chuck schumer in an interview while attending the new york state fare claimed that all americans who wanted to leave afghanistan have in fact left the country. >> still focused on trying to get some of those brave afghans out. >> preston to clean up mode after the gaffe, the office issued the statement.

schumer: are we in a quorum? the presiding officer: no. mr. schumer: madam president, first i want to welcome back all of my colleagues from the august work period as we return to washington, as everyone knows, the senate has a very busy schedule ahead of it. on the nominations front, we'll begin this week by holding a cloture vote on james kvaal to be the under secretary of education. tomorrow, we will move the nominations of david estudillo to be district judge of the western district of washington, angel kelly to serve as district judge for the district of massachusetts, and the senate will also begin consideration of monica rossman to be the circuit judge of the tenth circuit. on the legislative front, the senate will pick up exactly where we left off last month. we will continue our fight to preserve voting rights for millions of americans. and of course we will continue to -- continue working to pass president biden's build back better agenda and set our country on a path to prosperity for decades to come. at the end of the last work per

this isn't the first time schumer has gone public.f, sharing photos of her bruised stomach and asking for support from others who have gone through it. later telling howard stern she was hoping for more kids. >> we were going to, like, try to make a move, and covid happened and i'm just kind of, like, walking it back. like, okay. maybe i'll just revisit that in a minute. >> reporter: for "good morning america," stephanie ramos, abc news new york. >> let's bring in abc news chief medical correspondent dr. jennifer ash. dr. ashton, break this down for us. endometriosis, what is it? >> there are glands that sit inside the uterine cavity that for reasons we don't understand kind of get dispersed throughout a woman's pelvic cavity. so it can land on bowel. it can land on bladder and all parts of the pelvis outside the uter uterus. the key is we call it hormonally responsive tissue. every month during a woman's period, it contracts a little bit. it contracts all over her pelvis and that's where the pain comes in. it can give symptoms rangin

schumer: mr. president. the presiding officer: the majority leader is recognized. mr. schumer: mr. president, yesterday speak pelosi and i put in motion the path to pass a continuing resolution that in one fell swoop would accomplish four very important things. it would keep the government open through december 3 of this year and avoid a needless and dangerous shutdown. it would provide emergency funding to help resettle afghan evacuation. it would -- afghan evacuees. it would approve tens of billions of dollars in disaster aid funding. and it will suspend the debt ceiling until december of 2022, commensurate with the time necessary to cover the debt of the bipartisan $908 billion emergency covid relief bill passed at the end of last year. now, today i want to spend some time focusing on the last of these items. addressing the debt limit to avoid a first-ever default in american history. throughout modern history, addressing the debt ceiling has consistently begun on a bipartisan basis. let me repeat that. throughout modern history, addressing the debt ceiling has consistently been

i hope the senate and i hope chuck schumer can get this through.ber, we've now spent almost nine months after january 6th to get here and still nothing's been done on voting rights. i'm still hopeful, but i'm incredibly frustrated on the pace upon which this has been done. >> there are great people in the always hopeful state of texas, our thanks to two of them for being our guest tonight, professor victoria defrancesco soto, and matthew doud, friends of the broadcast both. greatly appreciate it, guys, thanks. >>> coming up for us, one of our top doctors on the ever deepening divisions in this country from mask wearing to getting a booster shot or getting the shot at all. e shot . discover card i just got my cashback match is this for real? yup! we match all the cash back new card members earn at the end of their first year automatically woo! i got my mo-ney! it's hard to contain yourself isn't it? uh- huh! well let it go! woooo! get a dollar for dollar match at the end of your first year. only from discover. (vo) this is more than glass and steel.

schumer and pelosi have said they are going to move legislation on this, mcconnell from the republican side just said forget it, you are not getting any support from us. i know a lot of us have kind of gotten enured to these debt ceiling talks. it's a crisis, it seems to get averted at the last minute, would you vote no on something to raise the debt ceiling which is basically agreeing to pay the bills that we have already bugged for this year the treasury secretary says we'll run out of money in october? >> yeah, it is eend of october so we're not up against it typically, we wait until we are up against it. so this is putting the cr, which is the september 30th deadline along with the deadline so it's

the lows after sounding like mcconnell is not interested -- schumer not interested in reconciliatione debt ceiling but indicating that there is still a path forward and i think that's how we ended up here. >> exactly as people watch washington, mcconnell said it is mr. schumer's responsibility and he holds the keys in the form of 50 votes to get that done. >> vix elevated on the session but off the highs as d.c. drives the action today. >> i will be at delivering alpha tomorrow see you thursday. >> "closing bell" starts now. >>> welcome to "closing bell." i'm wilfred frost at new york stock exchange stocks tumbling as the treasury yields march higher. nasdaq hit the hardest down more than 2%. >> welcome, everyone i'm sara eisen. let's look at what's driving the action 10-year treasury yield hitting levels we haven't seen since june weighing on the growth names. the tech names, faang stocks, microsoft, apple lower fed chair powell and

and that's what this is fundamentally about, i hope the senate, and i hope chuck schumer can get thisgh, but at this point were in september. we have now spent almost nine months after january 6th to get here. and still nothing has been done on voting rights. i'm still hopeful. but i am incredibly frustrated by the paste upon which this has been done. >> there are great people and the always hopeful state of texas, and thanks for two of them for being our guest tonight we. friends of the broadcast both, greatly appreciated guys things. coming up one of our top doctors on the ever deepening, in this country from mask-wearing to getting a booster shot or getting the shot at all. l. hey, i just got a text from my sister. you remember rick, her neighbor? sure, he's the 76-year-old guy who still runs marathons, right? sadly, not anymore. wow. so sudden. um, we're not about to have the "we need life insurance" conversation again, are we? no, we're having the "we're getting coverage so we don't have to worry about it" conversation. so you're calling about the $9.95 a month plan -from colonia

schumer and pelosi need this spending bill as much as he does.e leverage this gives manchin, to do that, has to vote yes on a hyperpartisan bill that by his own admission could exacerbate inflation and death. that may be abridged too far even head flexible democrat like manzo which in which is why the left is using a 2-pronged strategy here, one prong involves appeals to party loyalty. >> has always been there, has always been with me. i think we can work something out. >> is very persuadable. >> someone willing to get to a place that is the right place. laura: the other prong is vicious attacks from radical talking heads. >> manchin is a monster of the democrats own making. the more you keep feeding the beast and telling them they have control over you they will exert that control. >> to hamstring the agenda of president obama for years, joe manchin is trying to do president biden's -- >> practice fighting with joe manchin. >> i like when joy read, i love that. what should be obvious to manchin, no one cares if he's done what is right for his co

this is democrat debt, it is biden-schumer pelosi debt. senate republicans will not vote to burden future generations or to undermine social security and medicare today with this kind of reckless spending. we're not going to vote for the spending bill, not one of us, not going to vote to raise the debt limit on democrat terms. if they want to go it alone on spending, the democrats can go it alone on raising the debt ceiling. thank you, madam president. i yield the floor. >> c-span's w. coming up sunday morning,an's w. democratic strategists talk about congressional fiscal deadlines in the future of president biden's domestic agenda. then, sunday's elections in germany. watch c-span's washington journal, live at 7:00 eastern sunday morning and join the discussion with your phone calls, facebook comments, text messages and tweets. >> both the house and senate are back next week. the house returns monday at noon for speeches. legislative work starting at 2:00 eastern. leader hoyer intends to bring the larger spending package to the floor. the

schumer and pelosi needed the spending bill is much as he does.f the leverage this gives mansion, he could save the presidency but he would have to vote on a high person powders partisan bill by his own admission would exacerbate inflation and debt. that may be a bridge too far. which is why the left is using a two prong strategy. >> he's always been there, he's always been with me, i think we can work something out. >> he's very persuadable. >> he's someone that has many times been willing to get to the place that the right place. >> laura: the other prong is what you see in the press every day, vicious attacks from radical talking heads. >> joe mansion is a monster of the democrats own making. the more you keep feeding the beast and telling you have control over you, the more they exert the control. >> west virginia democratic senator joe mansion is trying to do to president biden's agenda now. >> a big problem for biden's agenda, joe mansion. >> fighting with joe mansion, see how it feels. >> laura: i like when joy reid does -- that's right, i

thanks to schumer.give you an example, that musical hamilton got its push-up and they received up to $50 million in taxpayer money. and they could use that money anyway they would like. >> laura: and if you have not seen "hamilton" that you did not get women's shot live. so very clever. >> laura: pinsly. >> raymond: they can afford to not take welfare. >> laura: another advocacy event, the global citizen concert. and somehow i missed this. that will combine mayor de blasio did not go so well. >> new york city is proud to be at the forefront of the climate revolution with our own renewed deal. >> you can see from this action why the only reached $1.1 billion which is 15 times less, and broadly got. you remember, he was also -- that rained out concert a few weeks back. when you are a global citizen, laura, fighting poverty and climate change, you need a royal that speak for you. cuta montecito broiled. >> global citizens, we ask internet to -- do you think we should start treating the access to the vaccin

i will vote against 2/3 of the 3 1/2 trillion dollar spending package that pelosi schumer want.know what is in the tax-and-spend packages. they haven't red it. what do you say? >> that is absolutely true. you get such crazy things in the bills no one knows what is in them even after they're passed, weeks and months afterwards. people comb through like archaeological site and find strange artifacts stuffed into these bills. hopefully senator manchin, senator sinema and others will say no, and state no, not let them pass the things with fake low numbers, knowing what was going to happen down the road. the tax increases we know would destroy this economy and give us what we haven't seen since the 1970s. that is rising prices and a stagnant economy. they used to call stating nation. this will be stagflation ii. elizabeth: steve forbes, great to see you on again. love having you on. sure. we're coming out of the bottom of the hour now. you're watching the fox business network. up next vince collagnese. he is fired up. we're watching a msnbc report that florida governor ron desantis i

chuck schumer's gonna have his. votes nancy pelosi will ever votes. she is skilled as anyone we have ever seen a sin in that country in the country says. so there's a lot of choreography going, on a lot of discussions. but i'm gonna go with, jonathan and the price tag, whether it's three point, five or, three what's important is what's in. it i hope this isn't, true but this could be a once in a decade opportunity. once the next time the democratic parties gonna have the ability to get this many people with the power they have? but have to get in people's homes, talking about the child, credit you have to be meeting with health care, workers have to be talking about people who can't work more hours because of childcare assistance, we want to talk about broadband and climate. let's not think -- forget the thing that is most popular, how you're paying for it! which is asking the wealthiest in this country, and companies, to pay their fair share. so the politics of this should take care of themselves. if you really spend the next 14 months really, really

knowing that all republicans were going to vote against the bill and kill it, chuck schumer brought it to a vote so that he could make a speech telling the country just how irresponsible senate republicans are >> what the republicans in the senate did tonight is not normal this isn't your typical washington frack car, and it shouldn't be treated as such it has far more severe consequences than the typical political cat fight. republicans know the consequences of their obstruction. they know its default would likely create a recession. they know that middle class families will suffer immensely they've heard the same warnings that we have and by many calculations, the republicans at fault will raise the deficit by more than the american rescue plan and yet republicans still obstruct it tonight. >> chuck schumer is surely hoping senator joe manchin is watching how unreasonable and reckless the republicans are as senator manchin continues to resist changes in these senate rules to change the 60-vote threshold, the rule that empowers republican irresponsibility and empowers republican attac

between nancy pelosi, chuck schumer, and the white house. do you have any details on what the taxes are that will pay for this price tag? >> reporter: reporters caught him in the hallway outside that room and he sort of clarified he believed there were a menu of options they could use to fully pay for that bill. i want to break down what i think leadership is doing here. they know that the their tich tha -- narrative that is emerging is democrats don't agree on how much this bill should cost, what to include, or how to pay for it. they're trying to make sure they are showing some unity, some strength at the top, and that's between house leaders as well as senate leaders and the white house. what they do not have at this current moment is unity among their members, right? what exactly are you going to do to pay for this bill? what is the appropriate tax rate going to be? who is going to be affected by tax increases? those are still details that likely will need to be worked out. we may get more details over the next couple of days, but rememb
