The american economy and american workers and good paying jobs. thats a good deal in my book. and guess what? it polls really well across party lines with the american people just when you get into the washington that you see all of this posturing about the taxes and partisanship. >> a lot of people are looking at what you guys, republicans and democrats are defining as infrastructure. do you see that as one of the sticking points in these negotiations? >> its definitely part of the conversation...

Clearly all about user fee gas taxes, tolls, price on electric vehicles, all that kind of thing. democrats say they want to raise the taxes on the corporations and on the rich and i think theres a big divide there. now, the politics of this very quickly is i think that theres no indication from the senate minority leader, mitch mcconnell, that he is looking for a deal here. i think that he worries that this might be a populist plan. he would rather not give the credit to biden and he wants biden...

Quickly is i think that theres no indication from the senate minority leader, mitch mcconnell, that he is looking for a deal here. i think that he worries that this might be a populist plan. he would rather not give the credit to biden and he wants biden to deal with political fallout that comes with a big price tag. you have to look at it down the road. this is politics. this is why we dont have a january 6 commission. thats about politics and this is about politics. shannon: kristin, to that p...

Moved the debate. he set a watermark for democrats. and weve seen that actually medicare for all is polling really strongly with americans. it polls, even the low polls are around 51%, and thats pretty good. 51% of voting age americans, come out to vote for the president. so we have to remember that, you know, things like social security werent popular, or medicare when it first, you know, was introduced, was unpopular, but from americans i spoke with, we went to three different states across th...

Committee. we appreciate you being here this morning. you know, your district is an important, interesting one politically. of course, this is a district that was won by president obama twice, and then the president won it in 2016. do you share what seemed to be, to us at least, from the outside, increasing concerns from some of your fellow democrats in districts like yours, in swing districts that they dont have the backing of enough constituents to vote to impeach the president? >> look, youre...

Not less partisan weaken your case to the american people? >> well first, one big point, i mean the founders didnt write into the constitution, you know, treason, bribery, other high crimes and misdemeanors as long as it polls well in swing states. what are we talking about? the fact theres an abc news poll out this morning that shows 70% of americans believe the president did something wrong. and the majority of americans in every national poll ive seen, including fox news, says the american pe...

But what we have right now is the burden of proof on the democrats and they cant show it. >> weve seen democrats shift from quid pro quo to bribery because it polls better. can you have a bribe if the other party doesnt know theyre being bribed. what weve seen is the ukraines ians didnt know they were being bribed. >> if the resi recipient of thd is objec oblivious to the quo -- theyre looking for any excuse, any pretext to impeach the president. theyre consisten conjuring stuf thin air. >> jaso...

Over $250,000 or $400,000 polls very well. now, the fact it polls well doesnt peen the wealth tax itself proposed by sanders and warren is a good idea. youve got someone like larry sanders, a former treasury secretary is making the argument it wouldnt raise the money that shes talking about, it might not be successful. so there are meritorious arguments about the wealth tax itself. but it is odd to hear them coming from the affected class. >> i dont know id buy those arguments, right? i used to ...
