Immigration advocates say more is still needed. joining me now, erika andiola, chief advocacy officer for raices, and the director of immigration hub, former adviser on immigration to then-senator kamala harris. erica, i think when i describe it as a massive move, you will take issue with that, and i do want to get to that moment. sergio, can you just walk people through the measures that are currently in this bill and the impact they would have, and then from there well talk about what needs to...

The president has shrugged at comparisons to fdr, but heres a memorable moment this week from the house floor. take a listen. >> just a few weeks ago, congresswoman abigail stanberger said nobody elected joe biden to be fdr. >> i did! >> nichols, do bidens achievements in his first 11 months amount to a new deal? when you talk to the white house, do they plan to lean into that sense of vision? >> its certainly something democrats are talking up right now. i mean, being in the house chamber that ...

Bidens build back better act. it includes universal pre-k, paid family leave, a cap on medicare costs and immigration reforms. all of it accomplished by democrats, no help from republicans. instead of working with dems to make all of that possible for the american people, minority leader kevin mccarthy decided to do whatever he could to derail the bills passage. how? by giving a record-breaking nearly nine-hour floor speech, among the longest and arguably most rambling recitals in history. >> th...

About this big win of immigration being included in the bill yesterday, the most transformative policy since the new deal under fdr. the immigration provisions in the build back better act would include protections for over 7 million undocumented immigrants and families living in this country. this includes dreamers and farm workers and tps holders and many undocumented immigrants who were essential workers and have been essential workers to help keep our country going during one of our darkest ...

You and i have talked about this a little before. i think that given all the news weve seen and we can use this week as a microcosm, one of the things we need to find a way to do is have our common political vernacular be commensurate with the stakes and scope of the unfolding crisis were in. this is not 1986 when the president had a good week, he had a bad week, george mitchell was mad at bob dole and well see you on "the mclaughlin report." this is not that. a fundamental conversation that we ...

We have seen and we can use this week as a microcosm. one of the things we need to find a way to do is have our common political vernacular be commensurate with the stakes and scopes of the unfolding crisis we are in. this is not 1986 when the president had a good week, a bad week, george mitchell was mad at bob doyle, and someone reported it. this is not that. a fundamental conversation that weve had in this country, i believe from 19 33 to 2017, which was this figurative tension between fdr, r...

[laughter] no secret, that this bill is too extreme, too costly and too liberal. just a few weeks ago congresswoman abigail spam berger said nobody elected joe biden to be fdr. >> i did. >> last ditch delay was to stall passage of the build back better bill. estimates the bill willed a $367 billion to the deficit over the next decade. however, they did find that it will bring in about $207 billion in rev...

Hurdle. for one fdr enjoyed a consistently high approval rating. the quinnipiac university found 36% of those surveyed approve of how biden has handled his job as president so far. as for build back better agenda the latest fox news poll shows only one quarter of americans think it will help their family. so, right now the house is set to reconvene at 8:00 this morning. and they plan to vote on this social spending bill later in the day. ainsley, lawrence, pete? ainsley: all right. well, thank y...
