Progressive Democrats call out 'games' being played with the $3.5 trillion spending bill.
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Is the White House doing along
with Nancy Pelosi?
Nancy Pelosi is in a pickle.
She had promised that there
would be a vote yesterday on
Thissible promised by yesterday.
She has her super liberal wing
Steve. We cant vote for the one
trillion dollar. They are
humiliated.
Guy. The government
get the ball across the
partnership issue in line 5 in
the social spending
Joe Manchin Kyrsten Sinema are
saying no way. We are not
supporting that compromise.
Listen to this.
He says he is willing to come
down on the number and vote for
it.
Pete couple trillion
Ainsley still a lot of money.
Aoc watch her reaction.
My top line has been what we
can do and the need we have
right now,
basically changing our whole
society to an entitlement
mentality.
I have never been. I have
never been a liberal in any way,
shape or form
im, not asking them to change
im really to come from zero. To
one point: five
I mean Heres. The thing is
that there is a lot of games
being played with this number
lets be clear about what the
current status is. The
three point: five trillion
thats three hundred and fifty billion dollar per
year.
This is about the deficit.
Then maybe we go after our
defense spending and find our
savings there. Instead of going
after peoples child care
PETE, you know thats where they
would want to go.
They would love to cut the
Defense Department Lock, stock
and barm if they could
making it about the numbers
they cant land on a number, as
you pointed out Steve, in order
to vote on the three dollars and fifty cents trillion
bill, they want the Senate to
move first, so they reflect each
other.
The Senate is not moving because
Joe Manchin is not moving.
One point two trillion has been passed by
the Senate. It makes sense the
house would look at it.
Pete leverage game inside the
democratic caucus
here is the crazy part.
We talk about all the numbers
and cover the post says. I only
want this much
meaning one dollar and fifty cents trillion
still a huge huge number
ultimately Joe Manchin hit on
it.
This is a cradle to grave
government dependency bill thats. What the left wing of the
thats, what the left wing of the
party absolutely want and they
making tweets before the vote,
virtually nobody knowing whats
in it. So this is another lets
pass the bill. No is that it
would create a dependency class
cradle to grave from p two to
community college and beyond,
they believe votes in the
future
PETE. They are cratering
everything else claiming this is
a life boat and the left wing
pulling them across 5 or one point, five,
its a win for the far left. If
anything gets passed
for our kids, if you have the
luxury of being able to have a
little bit of comma extra money
and put it in bank account for
child now, they want to pay for
illegal immigrants to go community college.
Community college
cant afford this Steve one point: five
infrastructure bill actually ha
infrastructure. Only ten percent of it,
though, and people thats part of
the fine print
but whats interesting, is that
had bipartisan support in the
Senate and it went. This is going
to be Joe Bidens, very first
bipartisan win, as our White
House correspondent said
yesterday can term they used. You
got to vote for this. Hey. You got
to vote for the one dollar and nineteen cents trillion
bill going to hack off the
progressives. You got to vote for
the three point: five trillion
thats, going it to hack off the
moderates.
Nancy Pelosi is you promised the
moderates? We will have a voted
by Thursday,
its Friday.
They didnt have a vote
Ainsley. Then she actually said.
