Joe manchin killed. what kind of goodwill negotiation leverage, what is left here? >> well, you said justifiably, thats right, alisha. this was first a $6 trillion package and then $3.5 trillion and then $2 trillion and they voted for the infrastructure package knowing that this warning in fact, this very thing with manchin backing out might happen. what regular americans care about and know as well what are you delivering? it would be great to get universal prek, still be great to get some sort...

Afford, you have no house to borrow against. you have no savings. its wrong. but all the things in that bill are going to reduce prices. and costs, for middle class and working class people. >> so biden saying hes not giving up. and democrats huddling tonight, trying to move forward. joining me now, former hud secretary julian castro. you heard the president there. the stakes are incredibly high here. were talking about pre-k, child care, huge investments in climate change. you have leader schum...

Lose the infrastructure bill. and actually, what i said to all of our members is i know you dont love the infrastructure bill but listen, we got to vote for that and if we, you know, we tie it to the build back better act, lets everybody vote for all of these things. there may be things we dont like in infrastructure, there are other people that dont like things in build back better. lets deliver this because if we dont energize our black and brown voters that delivered us these majorities and i...

Thats women, thats a lot of people of color, immigrants that are going to get these jobs that will be good paying jobs and of course, families across the country that will benefit from universal child care, prek, home and community based care. this is really, really significant and of course, the child tax credit as you mentioned and so our caucus has been, you know, frankly just really committed to delivering the entirety of the presidents agenda and we understand the pressures on the white hou...

The equation. its that bill that will go much further in helping people of color of those in poverty because it is as biden used to call i infrastructure and women of color that are under represented in home health care and more likely than their white counterparts to have to change their jobs due to child care with low income single parents, again, being disproportionately women of color and happen to be the democratic base that voted biden and this slim democratic majority into power. the firs...

President. you got the details whats in this thing, whats in the plan? >> reporter: i can tell you that the president is delayed. he has not left the white house yet for that meeting with house democrats. thats significant because he has already pushed back his departure to italy and scotland because hes trying to hash out the final negotiations and details of this brand new framework we can report that the top line of this package has been scaled down from the original 3.5 trillion now to somet...

Social programs, an expansion of the earned income tax credit and child tax credit. youll see universal care for children and pre-k, also a huge piece of this. but really climate is the biggest engine of the bill. and, of course, what is going on this morning is an attempt by democratic leaders to sell progressives on the idea there is a deal on the reconciliation bill with the senators so they can free up the infrastructure bill theyre trying to get done before terry mccal liv is on the ballot ...

Of course, is the 15% minimum tax for domestic companies that have more than $1 billion in profits, and thats something senator sinema was negotiating with senator warren, in here it appears thats something that sinema will go for and its something thats going to hit a bunch of companies in new york and in california and san francisco and washington state, so thats pelosi, schumer and jayapal, going for that or sink it because of their constituents. >> crazy thought, leigh ann, we talk about wha...

Bill, a transformative bill, that as far as progressives are concerned this is as close as they can get to another new deal style agenda. president biden has an enormously difficult task because he is trying to pass a new deal style agenda without new deal style majorities. he has no votes to lose in the senate, only three votes to spare in the house of representatives and there are so many demands, so many conflicting demands, the issue of paid leave was dropped yesterday, the latest casualty o...

You just dont need to have it. the other thing is, it would block faith based child care providers from participating in the program and that is wrong so that is where you get the culture war stuff in the bill. pay attention to it. >> judge jeanine: okay, so geraldo, she says only 10% know about whats in the bill >> geraldo: i think thats an exaggeration. >> judge jeanine: yeah, i do, too. but she says, but if they knew what was in the bill, shes convinced americans would support it. >> geraldo:...
