Speaker nancy pelosi this morning. senate majority leader chuck schumer participated via zoom as they tried to map out the road forward, a road forward with a very compressed timeline trying to get the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill and the climate proposal through the house by the end of next week. its going to be a lift. everybody acknowledges that, but it underscores at this moment in time, the shift and pivot that weve seen from the president over the course of the last couple of days the...

Not stand up when we needed him to, so these people, will the real joe biden please stand up, if crime is in the headline, he knows that he is losing because it is something that everybody will pay attention to in the first story that will always get covered is going to be crime, so like inspector gadget, the message is self-destructing and not just on this issue, its also happening on immigration and what happened this weekend, the biden administration says that they will return in the mexico p...

Reconciliation bill, the second part of the build back better agenda he has some issues with and thats part of the negotiation that has to occur that is not fully baked yet. thats part of what i think is holding up the vote on the infrastructure bill today. >> what more could senator manchin do to be helpful other than write this, you know, response with that criticism? >> yeah, i think, you know, senator manchin and his team are in right now negotiating the contours, particularly of the climate...

>> remember the campaign about infrastructure was to basically say their infrastructure deal was also their climate proposal. so you can understand senator marquee, senator white house, some of the other climate focused lawmakers on the hill who see the infrastructure talks moving in a direction that might leave climate to the sidelines and theyre frustrating. an interesting insight into the presidents thinking on this when we were on the foreign trip and i had a chance to be in the pool one day...

What the climate proposal is going to look like. i think schumer is trying to take care of that by moving forward with the reconciliation bill so they can say vote for this bipartisan bill. here is what weve already got moving on for the reconciliation. >> both issues -- voting and infrastructure -- this is the challenge of the biden presidency in this moment. he wants to pursue bipartisanship but every step he or moderates take toward a bill that could bring some republicans onboard risk losing...
