neil: the president leaving earlier this morning from the white house enroute the wilmington, delawarewhere he'll be spending the weekend, but the message is clear, these two bills are linked together. the infrastructure-only measure and the far more expensive $3.5 trillion plan. nonetheless, by linking them, he put the speaker, nancy pelosi, on the spot. she had wanted stand-alone votes on the bipartisan infrastructure plan as an indication of getting something done for the american people and then work on the bigger package separately. progressives were not buying that. they're happy, moderates are not. the latest thousand from mark divot at the white house. hey, mark -- mark meredith at the white house. >> reporter: hey, neil. president biden says this can still get through, but we are seeing a bit of a struggle within the democrat party on these two spending bills. one, the infrastructure bill that does have bipartisan support, and the other, this much larger social safety net bill that is costing a lot of money, and that's what you've got the moderate democrats so upset with, the

but when we get enough money i'm going to bring you and mom and everyone else down to wilmington.nd i thought that was like an awful lot of parents that moved away. i gained so much respect for my father as i thought about how much pride would have taken to say can i leave jean and the kids with you and i promise i will make it up to you. that is a hard thing for a proud man or woman to do but somebody had to do it and i remember we moved down to delaware and my dad would say i don't know how many times the job is about a lot more than a paycheck. it's about your dignity and respect. looking at a kid in the eye and saying it's going to be okay. it means a lot more than whether you just get a paycheck. it defines who you are. and i learned that at the kitchen table in scranton where you take care of one another and as i said i use to stutter badly when i was a kid. my nickname was blackbird and it wasn't meant as a compliment. i wasn't a very big, you could beat me, but i could hurt you. you think i'm kidding but i'm not. it's one of those things i was fortunate because the people

[laughter] but what he is doing is he is keeping his army just out of reach of sherman. he commands much larger force and sherman is been reinforced by the troops and johnston keeps his army together and that's a pretty big deal in march and april of 1865 and he keeps it out of reach of sherman's troops. and by time we get to the greensboro area they've heard about the fall of richmond and so johnston will in his words, he will say something like no human should die

is there any movement, david spunt live in wilmington, delaware with the latest. any breakthrough? >> we don't know yet is the short answer. we know their working breakfast with senator manchin and schumer in wilmington, that gives you an idea of how important this issue is to the president to have joe manchin here because after all like you said manchin is the one that democrats are recording. senator schumer has lost step with the president on these issues. it's manchin that they need. i also spotted domestic policy advisor susan rice, she was appear alongside biden ally, she was appear as well. the original package that the president counted around three and after you dollars that figure nowhere near that, it's less than 2 trillion. the issue is under negotiation to raise taxes on billionaires and corporations also climate priorities in child tax credits. senator manchin shot down reports just a few days it ago he is considering switching parties, he's negotiated in good faith. kyrsten sinema from arizona continues her silence streak ignoring questions, repeated questions from t

let's go right nuto nbc's mike memoli who is there in wilmington. give me a sense of the timing of the meeting and the greater influence of it. what are you hearing? >> well, alex, one of the things a change of scenery means is usually when the meetings are happening at the white house or capitol hill, we have some visibility to when they started and ended. we see senators coming and going. with the privacy of this at the president's home today in wilmington, we don't have that insight, but it does seem significant this is happening on a weekend at the president's home at a critical point, throw a white house official is downplaying expectations saying we shouldn't expect to see a deal. this is just a continuing of the talks. we do know this, the president is facing two real deadlines in the week ahead. first, he is heading off to europe on thursday, and he's been clear as has the white house they would like to get some sort of framework at least, if not a final vote, on any reconciliation measure because so much of this climate agenda and he's head

we know joe manchin and chuck schumer are going to wilmington as we speak?etting closer. as the white house likes to say, there's urgency now. they're feeling the urgency. look, making the sausage, getting everything together is not always pretty. it seems like the white house has been too clever for its own good. they've been so disciplined about not putting forward exactly where they stand and exactly what they want to do because they don't want to mess up the negotiations. but now you don't know where they stand, and they have not defined this bill. >> maria teresa, let's talk about that. the dollar figures and what's being cut out, they haven't focused on what's in it? and have they lost the progressive caucus? >> no one knows what's in the bill including the administration. what we're going to see is whether or not is whether or not they have to give people a little on climate. the reason i say that, we haven't heard yet from the squad. the squad recognizes their supporters, their most extreme progressive base, that's what they care about. so how ever t

let's go to lauren egan in wilmington, delaware. the democrats are negotiating right now the details of the reconciliation package. first of all, how engaged is the president going to be in this? >> yeah, the white house says that the president is going to continue to be deeply involved and engaged with negotiations. his negotiating team on his staff is up on capitol hill frequently having conversations with senators manchin and sinema. right now, the big hold-up over this debate is how big the bill should actually be. what should the price tag be. the white house has acknowledged it's going to veto be a lot smaller than they initially proposed. a few weeks ago, we were talking about potentially $3.5 trillion. now it's looking like it's closer to the $2 trillion range. the big question is how do you get to that number? you can do two things. cut of elements of biden's agenda from the plan or put as much as you can into the plan and allocate les money for each policy item. that's the conversation happening on capitol hill. president
