The corporate tax rate. that has been a key pay for for the democrat party. but that negotiation is also playing out. one of the big problems here is even if you could agree on what to spend, $1.5 to $2 trillion, you have to find a way to finance this bill at this point it doesnt look like there is a solution that is imminent. >> president biden made a lot of news at our town hall last night. what are his next moves today. >> there was the details of what was going on behind the scenes in those ...

Given how significant some of these divisions have been and the significant compromises folks on the left have made. theyre talking about a price tag now of $2 trillion, much less than the $3.5 that the liberals have pushed. they have to swallow some of the compromises. jayapal indicated theyre on the right track, but the deal isnt done yet. >> theres no offer on the table yet. nothing is agreed to until everything is agreed to by everyone. so the discussions are moving. we feel good, we feel po...

The full $3 trillion, and not happy that joe manchin is at $1.5 to $2 trillion. and joe manchin wants to put in means testing for hosting new social programs. he wants to -- hes not onboard with the clean energy provisions in the bill. so the two sides actually, its tough for me to think of any way they could be farther apart on the substance of this legislation, but part of this, i would say, is acting. is really just theater, to show that the two wings of the democratic party are at least talk...

Community and technical colleges. the elements of this package are very, very, very popular. >> what would you give up if you had to get down below $3.5 tri trillion? >> do you make it a ten-year certain programs ten-year, make them five years. do you means test something, like medicare, there is talk about doing a dental and eyesight and hearing. well, you say, well, maybe that shouldnt go to people who make over $100,000 or $150,000, $200,000. you can do -- but ill tell you one thing we should...

Is with the democratic or biden plan on that. medicare, there you see 84%. the paid family leave, which you accurately say would build on that, and yet i want your view as a strategist that americans basically dont know about the plans. 29% say we dont know whats in it at all. only one of ten people claimed to know a lot of the specifics. but the real number might be under 1%. is that a failure of domestic messaging? >> of course it is. they didnt get out of enough, didnt sell it enough. bernie ...

Little more cohesively, perhaps? >> on the general approval rating, what we saw, and this happened with the rise of the delta variant, you know, late july, beginning of august, we saw the presidents approval rating go down. now we see the case load going down slowly but surely, but its going down. vaccinations are on the upsing. his overall approval rating has stabilized because covid has gotten a bit more stabilized than it has been more in august and part of september. if you pull apart the bu...

In late august 58% of voters said only some or very little, that was up significantly from late april when it was 47%. and heres the thing ill note. if you look back, look at bidens build better agenda. look at that. the support minus opposition, plus 30 on the 1.2 trillion infrastructure plan, $3.5 social programs, much better than bidens approval rating. >> its really interesting to see it by the numbers. thank you so much for putting that together. coming up next, for the first time, congre...
