Done. we should bring a bill out in february onto the floor of the united states senate. the time for talking is over. its now a time for action. the time for negotiation is over. its now time to reach an agreement so from my perspective, climbed has to be the foundation. its the healthcare, environment am, economic, national security, moral issue of our time. we cannot miss this historic moment. we can reach an agreement upon that issue. joe manchin said its the easiest area for him to reap an ...

Executive level, which is to push these projects forward. >> absolutely. i mean, as we have all seen in this administration, they are struggling to pass -- build back better act, which would go a long way to reach president bidens goal to cut emissions in half by the end of this decade. and so, they are taking plan b. and maybe that is not quite the way to say it. because i think the administration has always been planning to use several routes to achieve their goals. but there is certainly much...

Before i went on your show that manchin actually communicated his plan, communicated what he was about to say on fox news to the white house, to democratic leadership, and that sort of fills in all the blanks and all the questions we had this week, right? but i have to tell you something, he has been negotiating seriously on these provisions. we have spent months staked out of manchins office, hes gone back and forth, been in multiple meetings and this last week multiple times with the president...

Is willing to use this catastrophe to advance their ideological agenda. a climate bill will cause higher taxes for everyone in this country, it will cripple our competitive edge vis-a-vis the rest of the world, and its at precisely the wrong time as our economy struggles to get out of a recession. i am one republican who hopes that the democrats listen to this nonsense because it does mean that in the election season to come well have plenty of differences between the two parties to compare. jan...
