debt ceiling, the exact thing he and senate republicans are threatening to do right now. e republican leader was not alone to express the sentiment when president trump was in charge they voted to raise the debt limit three times and joined them in doing that when president trump was in office because we understand the consequences of failing to pay our bills on time. let's not kid ourselves there's a lot of things that president trump and senate republicans did over those four years that we disagreed with. policies that we that were irresponsible even though the trump tax plan in 2017 providing huge tax breaks to the biggest corporations in the country. and $2 trillion added to the national debt didn't pay a dime or a penny of that was paid for. it was all on the credit card. but when it came time to pay the bills due and owing for our country, democrats joined republicans to lift the debt ceiling because we need the devastating consequences of the alternative. so let's also be very clear the money that we currently out and are currently due and owing i largely made up of

that donald trump himself signed off on as the former president and sold did the republicans in both the house and senate. now we have to be able to pay our bills. and in order to do that, we have to acquire some additional debt. because it was an extraordinary moment, a once in a century pandemic. republicans are being so irresponsible in suggesting they may not sign off on a debt ceiling increase or suspension. i think is what's contained in the legislation. reporter: are you worried about the financial implications of all of this? mr. aguilar: the path that ms. delauro put in the bill is the right path. will it be the ultimate ending point? i don't know. we have to talk to the other chamber. it's sad to me that kevin mccarthy and mitch mcconnell get passes on this when they have voted as the chairman mentioned on raising the debt limit in prior administrations. the appropriations committee has done our work. we have met. we have moved our bills out of committee. the senate hasn't done their work. so we are going to have a c.r. we are left to the c. redskins until december. we are attaching the debt li

host: the info sector package, $1.2 trillion passed in the senate as we mentioned, 19 republican senators on that. will debris any republican support on the reconciliation -- will there be any republican support on the reconciliation package? guest: no, democrats are not engaging with that measure because they know they don't need republican votes in the senate. it is not expected that republicans will back that bill. we may see some republican support for the bipartisan bill, but democrats are choosing to go with the social spending package because the budget reconciliation project is one of the only things where they can pass something in the senate with a simple majority. as long as the filibuster is blocking almost all other bills that address legislative priorities that otherwise can pass in the house, they are going this route, and a way that they know they can pass in both chambers. host: we have heard a lot from callers and reporters about the role of joe manchin, not only in this but other situations in the senate. the wall street journal this morning, democrats find sinema to be

senate republicans support a claim of a continuing resolution with appropriate a disaster relief andargeted afghan assistance we will not support legislation that raises the debt limit. remember when the debt suspension last august it was automatically ratcheted up to account for all borrowing that had occurred up to that date this is not about the past. it's about the future. democrats want to build a partisan future without our input. the democrats will not get bipartisan facilitators for their purely partisan's ending. democrats are fully capable of owning the step themselves democratic chairman of the house budget committee admitted just yesterday we can n. reconciliation. but leadership says they don't want to do that". one party controls the entire government and then the power to address this alone that is what they will need to do. representative rogers once described southeastern kentucky to say they are honest and forthright and they can see their a phony in a minute flat so it is fitting his constituents just reelected him by 70 points he is honest and forthright and not a

my colleague senator manchin is working with -republicans to secure support for the bill. we look forward to hearing what changes they might make on legislation. i applaud senator manchin for his work here. he's always said he wants to try to bring republicans on and with the support of democrats in this compromise bill which senator manchin had greatinput to he can go forward in that regard . the fact of the matter is that this is the fact of the matter is that this legislation is critical for stopping some of the most egregious assaults against voting rights having the state level. a few weeks ago the governor of texas signed one of the most we voter suppression bills in the entire country . it comes on the heels of other restrictions, routing across the country. from an election day registration in montana, limiting after-hours boxes in florida, even making it a crime to food and water to voters at the polls in georgia, no one can look at these restrictions with a straightface and say they have a legitimate purpose . they have only one goal, a despicable goal and a nasty

it was the previous agenda of president trump and the republican senate and republicans in the house that created this debt. republicans ignored the analysis like the one done by "the washington post" which observed that, quote, roughly 90%, 7% of the current u.s. cumulative debt was accrued before biden took office. indeed, none other than "the wall street journal" made this even clearer. raising debt limit wouldn't facilitate future spending, it said, and, quote, congress would still need to raise the debt limit this fall even if no major new spending programs were enacted. i want to repeat that, not just for leader mcconnell but for my republican colleagues. hopefully there are some who will rise to their responsibility and abandon this crass, craven political move with such harm to the united states that the republican leader has proffered. so i will read it again. "the wall street journal" said, quote, raising the debt limit wouldn't facilitate future spending, unquote, and went on to say, quote, congress would still need to raise the debt limit this fall even if no new major sp

senate republicans all of them to be exact fear donald trump way more than throwing the country into default. meanwhile house democrats are locked in the stalemate over the presidents infrastructure agenda. it's blue on blue, friendly fire and it's a fight that's putting biden's signature priority at risk. earlier today as he received his first booster shot on live television on the white house, the president gave this assessment of what he's facing. >> i was born optimist, i think things are going to go well, i had meetings tonight, tomorrow and, for the next little. bit >> what is the state for your agenda in the presidency with what's happening on the hill this week? >> victories what's at stake. it may not be by the end of the. week i mean we have two things to do. the debt ceiling, the senior resolution, and the two piece of legislation. we do that and it's going to be [inaudible] . >> so let's take what he, said the two pieces of legislation that the president just mid june, are the trillion dollar bipartisan infrastructure plan, and the climate and social program spending curr

the senate republicans already. the only holdout is the senate democratic leader and his partisan tactics. >> you are the republican leader talking about their alternative to the continued resolution moving the debt limit language out of that or about that from politico from the democratic side, their headline democrats may drop that fight to avoid shutdown. the democrats are hinting they're willing to drop the debt ceiling from the government funding package this week in order to avoid a government shutdown. a sign that their slim majorities are eager to avoid 800 federal government on their watch . republicans anddemocrats plans to raise the debt ceiling together on monday . sending democratic leaders traveling to avoid shutdown. they have several options democrats set in the aftermath of a government shutdown is not one on social media comments also you can send a text. this is jo ellen in new york saying that sometimes you have to take drastic measures in order to be heard. the democrats financialgoals for americ

senate republicans and the republican leader, however, are again engaging in fantastical feats of sophistry to justice why somehow this time is different. we know it's not. we all know the truth. democrats and republicans both had a hand in approving the spending we now must pay. look, we know the republican justification for forcing a -- the default. we know the republican justification for forcing a default is totally dishonest, plain and simple. don't ask me. just listen to the "wall street journal." here's what it said. quote, congress would still need to raise the debt limit this fall, even if no new major spending programs were enacted. this idea that they don't want to raise the debt ceiling to deal with future spending is just totally false. ask "the wall street journal." the fact is our continuing resolution would suspend the debt limit through december of 2022, an amount of time commensurate with the debt incurred as a result of passing the bipartisan $908 billion emergency covid relief legislation in december of last year. remember, that legislation was drafted by republicans, vo

unfortunately, last week leader mcconnell announces senate republicans aresk inclined to deliberatelytheir back on their obligations when asked if republicans would block an extension of the debt limit, leader mcconnell said republicans are united in their position to raise the debt ceiling. shame. the same leader mcconnell who urge democrats and republicans to support raising the debt ceiling and he always comes up as to why it's different but everybody knows it's not different. in fact democrats supported three times raising the t debt ceiling when trump was president and if my recollection is right at least one was when the house and the senate and theic presidency were controlled by republicans. should republicans careen our country toward a default, our country could be plunged into recession laying off millions and making it harder for people to pay for the food on the table and their mortgages and rent. shame on the leader, the republican leader. secretary ellen footages days ago the failure to raise the debt limit would have catastrophic consequences and would precipitate a fi

senator mitch mcconnell the republican leader in the senate says republicans will try to block both of those things which means republicans want the government to default on its debt and they want the government to be forced no a needless shutdown, purely for neener neener value. they are not trying to get anything for holding out on those things. they just want that harm to the country because they can. efforts by democrats to get immigration reform tucked into their big $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill, those efforts we were covering all last week, the request to the senate parliamentarian to ask if immigration reform could be done in that bill as well that request from the democrats was rebuffed this weekend by a ruling from the senate parliamentarian. she says that they cannot include immigration reform the way they were planning to in that bill which means they can't pass immigration reform without running up against a republican filibuster which means there isn't hope for getting it passed. unless there is some other way. interestingly today, democratic senators who have been wo

senate republicans are ready. an have a bipartisan vote to fund the government today, if not for the odd tactics of the senate democratic leader. before we vote this afternoon, i'll ask consent to strike the partisan c.r. that is dead on arrival and instead have the senate vote on a clean continuing resolution that can pass this chamber easily. we'll see if washington democrats actually want to govern or whether they want to add the prospect of a government shutdown to the list of inflation, afghanistan, the border, and all the other national crises that are the direct results of their own decisions. i suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: a senator: madam president. the presiding officer: the majority whip. mr. durbin: i ask the quorum call be suspended. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. durbin: madam president, you'll remember the day, you'll never forget it -- january 6. here we were in this chamber in the process of voting the electoral co

before the senate concluded the previous work period, republicans blocked multiple efforts to even debate voting rights legislation in the u.s. senate. let me be clear, republicans refusing to support anything on voting rights is not an excuse for democrats to do nothing. over the recess in a number of my colleagues and i including senators klobuchar, merkley, warnock, manchin, king and tester worked diligently to craft the revised voting rights pieceis of legislation. this compromised proposal would protect the freedom to vote and stop the scourge of dark money in our politics among many other good things. and i applaud my colleagues for their hard work and progress to come together with a strong wrightsville, voting rights bill that all democrats can support while respecting the role of states and greater confidence in the democracy. now to try to garner support for this important legislation this is a good proposal and i encourage all of my senate colleagues to support. that said we must be honest about the facts. most notably the governor of texas signed into law a bill that ranks as

senate republicans are ready. the only holdout is the senate democratic leader and his partisan tactics. so in just a moment i'll ask consent that democrats forget about the vote they know will fail and instead let the senate vote on a bill that can actually pass. it's up to the democrats. we can either move this legislation forward tonight or we can have a show vote which they know will fail and inch closer toward another crisis of their own making. a senator: madam president. the presiding officer: the senator from louisiana. mr. cassidy: i rise supporting my colleague's proposal. this proposal provides disaster supplemental assistance relief for southwest and southeast louisiana. it extends the national flood insurance program. it funds the government, and it restores funding for israel's iron dome. we are three days away from government shutdown for one reason. democrats control washington. a clean vote on disaster relief and a continuing resolution to fund the government, legislation filed by senators mcconnel

this is a pure political calculation by mcconnell and by the other republican senators. mcconnell has indicated that if democrats were to put forward just the spending measure, the budget measure that would insure the government stays open in decouple it from the debt ceiling question, that they would win republican votes for that measure so the first step of course would be for republican senators to make good on that and, you know, agree to pass whatever it is the democrats come up with in terms of just the clean spending bill for later this week to avoid the shutdown but looking forward, this is all going to be a political game and mcconnell is trying to basically trap the democrats and show that they can't govern competently, that they have these majorities, thin majorities as they are, but majorities nonetheless, and yet they brought the country to the brink of a shutdown, and they're having trouble passing these signature agenda items of the democratic president he is trying to use that to the republicans' advantage to try to then of course win back the senate majo

are. >> but the republicans in the senate did tonight was not normal, this is not your typical washington practice, it should be treated as such, it has more severe consequences than the typical political catfight. republicans know the consequences of their obstruction. they know the default will likely create a recession. they know that middle class families will suffer immensely. they have heard the same warnings that we have. the republicans that fault will raise the deficit at more than the american rescue plan and yet republicans still obstructed it tonight. >> chuck schumer is surely hoping that joe manchin is watching how unreasonable and reckless the republicans are as senator manchin continues to resist changes in the senate rules to change the 60 vote threshold, the rule that empowers republican irresponsibility, and empowers republican attacks on voting rights in this country. senator manchin is one of the few moderate democrats in the senate who has been negotiating for unspecified reductions in the size of the 3.5 trillion dollar reconciliation bill. today, senator manchin sa

but senate republicans had vowed to block it. and that's actually happened. so we'll be following this development as it continues. we need to find out how the government will continue to funding its bills. coming up next, the smallest -- small iranian tech firm thinks their lithium battery technology will change the game for energy storage. we speak to its c.e.o., the company will be listing on the a.s.x. this is bloomberg. bloomberg. haidi: we are getting some breaking news when it comes to s.k. innovation. we are hearing that s.k. innovation will invest $5.1 trillion in a joint venture with ford. we're hearing that they've agreed to set up an electric vehicle battery joint venture with ford. they could increase that investment to as much as 12 trillion yuan. the initial plan was an investment of around six trillion yuan. we had heard that from reporting from the chelsum newspaper. the c.e.o. will finalize that j.v. as early as this week. a small australian tech company with big ambitions for the future of battery technology is listing on the a.s.x. today.

democrats on president biden's economic agenda with options for raising the debt ceiling after senate republicans blocked efforts to tie the debt ceiling to legislation needed to keep the government funded i am so proud of my caucus. as i said to you yesterday, never under the ceiling of that room is the greatest collection of integrity, inspiration, imagination to do great things for the american people and to appreciate each other in a unified way. that is how we felt the consensus that we want people to support. it could be a reconciliation, and we will. in the next day or so we hope to come to a place to move forward on that. the leader and i in the senate have caucuses that care very much about the transformative nature of the build back better legislation for women in the workplace and for people with disabilities who need the home healthcare services and those workers who have the respect and the pay and the training that is worthy of the people that they are caring for and of those workers. for the nations and the technology to help meet their standards as well so it is a pretty exciting

senate. let me be clear. republicans refusing to support anything on voting rights is not an excuse for democrats to do nothing. over the recess a number of my colleagues and i, including senators klobuchar, merkley, warnock, manchin, padilla, tester worked diligently to craft a revised voting rights piece of legislation. this compromise proposal would protect the freedom to vote, end partisan gerrymandering, stop the scourge of dark money in our politics among many other good things. i applaud my colleagues for their hard work and their progress to come together with a very strong rights bill -- voting rights bill that all democrats can support. while respecting the role of states and promoting greater confidence in our democracy. now senator manchin has been having discussions with our republican colleagues to try and garner support that is -- to this important legislation. this is a good proposal and i encourage all my senate colleagues to support it. that said, we must be honest about the facts. the republican-led wa

republican senators were left in the touchy position of having to disbelieve dr. blasey ford without any basis for disbelieving her. yet, only one republican senator buckled. another signal. senator flake demanded some investigation, and here the gale force pressure kicked in. this could not go on. kavanaugh was too great a prize. the f.b.i. was pressured to do a fake investigation. that is a fire alarm of a signal. and we saw many signs of things awry. for a while, early on, the f.b.i. became imper obvious to information -- impervious to information. to put it mildly, that is not the f.b.i.'s customary disposition. an f.b.i. that suddenly becomes impervious to information is quite a signal. the f.b.i. was told which few witnesses could be interviewed. the interviews were cursory and terse. other witnesses who came forward were ignored or turned away. even when dr. blasey ford and other witnesses were trolled by the flying monkeys of the far right so venomously that dr. blasey ford had to stop teaching, had to leave her home, had to hide herself under the protectio

republicans represent lots of billionaires and senate minority leader mitch mcconnell and his wife are really rich. defaulting would hurt them, too. what's the point? so republicans can perform a fake kind of fiscal probe by demanding cuts to government services and spending in exchange for raising the debt limit and paying the nation's lls of course, that theater ma miraculously disappears and mitch has the gavel, which is why during the trump administration, spend away. because none of it matters. republicans do not care about the debt. they never have. what they do care about is not letting democratic administrations succeed even if that means recking the economy to ruin their administrations, and they care about not letting democrats spend money on ordinary people like you. they only want money to be spent on things like giant subsides like oil companies and tax cuts for the super rich. all e res is eater. hunger games theater. which brings us to today. when senate republicans have once again dragged the united states into the world to the brink of catastrophe. mcconnell that led r

every single republican in the house and in the senate voted to shut the government down. this is the height of irresponsibility. something is wrong with these people. they're in wrong [no audio] fourth, of course, we have to make sure we protect the full faith and credit, avoid a default on our debt. it's important for the american people to understand that the debt ceiling is not a forward-looking vehicle. everything that we will get done on behalf of the american people in connection with the bipartisan infrastructure agreement and the build back better act is paid for. it will not add a dime of debt for the american people. not a dime. the debt ceiling is a backward-looking vehicle. what we're working on right now is making sure we pay the credit card bill that donald trump ran up. in part on his own with reckless republicans in connection with the g.o.p. tax scam where 83% of the benefits went to the wealthiest 1%. why? to subsidize the lifestyles of the rich and shameless. that's part of what's going on right now in terms of the debt. and then part of it is the neces

squabble over a bill that would fund the federal government until early december at issue, senate republicans don't want to vote for a funding bill which includes an extension of the debt ceiling. that allows the government to borrow money to pay bills. republicans want to make spending an issue next year, so they're trying to force democrats to extend the borrowing limit on their own but much of that debt was rung up in the trump administration democrats did help republicans extend the death s.e.ealing in 7 and 2019 >> they are in the midst of a damaging spending spree on a scale we have never seen, and they want us to come along and authorize the borrowing to help pay for it, when we are totally opposed to what they're doing. >> president trump ran up spending, $8 trillion worth of debt for people who voted for it, suddenly to say we are not going to raise the debt sealing to me, it's the kabuki theater that frustrates a lot of folks. >> reporter: it's a key week for joe biden's agenda nancy pelosi announced yesterday that the house will vote thursday, not today, on the bipartisan $1 trilli

every senate republican voted yesterday against a measure that would fund the government and make sure the country does not default on its debt. republicans argue that democrats should pass themselves through the reconciliation because the gop doesn't support future spending bills. they say it was passed by both parties and should be paid for by both parties. >> so let me make it abundantly clear one more time. we will support a clean continuing resolution. we will not provide republican votes for raising the debt limit. there's no chance republicans will help lift democrats' credit limit so they can immediately steamroll through a socialist binge that will hurt families and help. >> the republican party has now become the party of default, a party that says america doesn't pay its debts. keeping the government open and preventing a default is vital to our country's future, and we'll be taking further action to prevent this from happening this week. >> again, congress has until the end of the week to fund the government before shutdown begins and a few weeks to raise the debt ceiling b

the debt limit, not in the wake of the $2 trillion covid bill that was passed in march that senate republicanssubstantially overshot the mark and i think they feel vindicated in that view. and doubling on especially with $3.5 trillion spending bill simultaneously being processed by the house and the senate. >> so when it comes to the debt ceiling, the debt limit as we have been talking about, just reminding folks at home, this is saying you're going to pay the bill for what you have already purchased, right? it is paying your credit card bill for what is already out there. look, he's done that before. is this a purely political move on the part of mitch mcconnell? >> you know, it is not really. there is sort of -- i think there are two conversations happening. unfortunately it is not the same conversation. what you see from secretary yellen and secretary paulson and mnuchin and others and senator schumer is this is really important, we need to do it. i don't think you should not interpret -- nobody should interpret leader mcconnell's statements as sayi ing no, thiss not important, he's talking

senate rule so it can pass? even against uniform republican opposition? >> i've been very clear from day one that we must pass voting rights no matter what. and nothing is more important. certainly not a senate rule. will cross that bridge when we get to it. i think for us to not do the work that senator manchin is attempting to do in reaching out to others i think it lets him off the hook to easily. but at the end of the day we have to protect the votes and the voices of the people of georgia and of the american people. and that's what i intend to do. >> senator raphael warnock of the great state of georgia. sir thank you for making time to be here. tonight it's always a pleasure to have you here whenever you can make. it >> thank you. >> okay we have much more to get to tonight. stay with. us i've been telling everyone... the secret to great teeth is having healthy gums. crest advanced gum restore. detoxifies below the gumline... and restores by helping heal gums in as little as 7 days. crest. the #1 toothpaste brand in america. this one the starting pri

that said the lead republican of the senate, mitch mcconnell, already promised today within hours of the bill being announced that won't happen, that republican, quote, will not be supporting the bill. so what happens next here? this seems quite warranted, all the more so every day. but what is the path to getting it done? joining us now is senator rafael warnock from the great state of georgia. senator warnock is a cosponsor of the freedom to vote act in the senate. senator, thank you so much for being here. it's a real honor and pleasure to have you visit with me. >> thank you, rachel, it's great to be back with you. >> so i put this i recognize in an alarming context in terms of some of the very dire threats and some of the very high cliffs that we got very close to as a country over these last few months as these sort of myths about stolen elections have really taken hold. it seems to me, and tell me if i'm wrong here that the freedom to vote act that you have played such a key role in introducing here today is an effort to try to provide light in that heat, to try to cool down th

senate republicans locked the resolution that would fund the federal government passed this thursday into the new year. the measure that passed in the house last week. what do you expect will happen with the debt ceiling language in that bill? is it possible that will be removed? guest: for now we recognize that by october we've got to do something with the debt ceiling. the democratic caucus is committed to being responsible legislators and ensuring that we pay our debt. american people need to recognize that this debt is in fact the debt of the republicans racked up through their tax cut plan of 2017 in which the richest in our country were able to receive a tax cut, almost $2 trillion worth. so that has raised the debt level in this country and we are committed to ensuring that the government pays its debt not only for the safety of america but so many other nations that rely on the credit and good worthiness of our american dollars. so we're going to do what's necessary to ensure that that's happening. i'm counting on the leadership of chuck schumer in the senate as well as our p

all of the democratic senators agreed with joe biden on the bipartisan infrastructure bill that had just been negotiated, ure bill which included republicansenate, and the reconciliation bill. they all agreed on that, that they. and that surprised me. i thought that's when you hear people say i'm not ready and i have to see more and all those comments you see at the early stage. at the early stage, it was total agreement. what happened to that? >> i think it's a great point, lawrence. we are in agreement. this is the presidents agenda and democrats support the president. the agenda he ran on, the agenda he was elected on. it's the agenda every member of the house swore up every two years. we were all elected with this president. we should be supporting this agenda. the reason you are not hearing disagreement in those early stages is the policies, the things, the help coming from the american people, are all really good, very well thought out, important policies that will set our economy up for years to come. to be strong, stable, and globally competitive. you saw that early agreement because of the strength of the kinds of policies that a

senate republicans are ready. e only holdout is the senate democratic leader and his partisan tactics. host: you heard the republican leader talk about their alternative to the resolution removing the debt limit language. more on that from "politico," from the democratic side, democrats may drop debt fight to avoid shut down, hinting they are willing to drop the debt ceiling from the government funding package in order to avoid government shutdown, signed that the slim majority is eager to avoid a -- shuttered federal government, citing plans to fund the government together on monday evening, sending democratic leaders scrambling to avoid a shutdown that would kick in friday morning. they have several options, they said in the aftermath, but government shutdown is not one. social media, some comments, you can also send us attack. this is joellen in islip, saying that sometimes you have to take drastic measures to be heard, democratic financial goals for americans are like a bulldozer in high gear, something has to

senate rules so it can pass? even against uniform republican opposition? >> i've been very clear from day one that we must pass voting rights no matter what. and nothing is more important. certainly not a senate rule. will cross that bridge when we get to it. i think for us to not do the work that senator manchin is attempting to do in reaching out to others i think it lets him off the hook to easily. but at the end of the day we have to protect the votes and the voices of the people of georgia and of the american people. and that's what i intended. >> senator raphael warnock of the great state of georgia. sir thank you for making time to be here. tonight it's always a pleasure to have you here whenever you can make. it >> thank you. >> okay we have much more to get to tonight. stay with. usore to get to tonight stay with. stay with. us not just unpredictable relapses. all these other things too. it can all add up. kesimpta is a once-monthly at-home injection... that may help you put these rms challenges in their place. kesimpta was proven superior at reduc

senate republican said the democrats are on their own here. and they have vowed to vote against the house bill that addresses both issues. senate republican leader mitch mcconnell is now pushing a competing short-term funding that keeps the funding open. but does nothing about raising the debt line. >> so my advice to this democratic government, the president, the house, and the senate. don't play russian roulette with our economy. step up and raise the debt ceiling to cover all that you've been engaged in. all year long. >> rather remarkable considering he's not offering one vote in support earlier today, senator elizabeth warren slammed the republicans over their stance on the debt ceiling. >> it's time to call the republicans out over this. are you kidding me? on the debt ceiling? when donald trump was president, and needed to raise the debt ceiling over and over, democrat said yet we get. it and what are we trying to raise the debt ceiling for now? to cover the deaths that were incurred during the trump administration. and the republicans
