Nursing homes because of covid. to do most of what we need to do we will have to do it through budget reconciliation process but i strongly favor the engagement that the president has undertaken. we will see what happens. neil: senator, maybe the tone and the approach to the infrastructure proposal, whatever it is has changed in light of the ransom ware and attacks on jbs, colonial pipeline and the mca and part of the package, increase part of it should include not only grid protections but hack...

The jobs plan and the familys plan combined, thats really what the infrastructure proposal is and joe manchin and the others urged caucus to engage and compromise in negotiation. i think weve spent a lot of time on that and that might be our proof. but ultimately to do everything that i would want to do to help the people of pennsylvania, i think we have to do most, if not all of what the president proposed. i think by definition that means we will have to do it by a different pathway because th...

Going to turn his focus to his overseas travels that he has coming up. but this domestic priority is one of course that remains a huge challenge. but we are hearing from someone who is a critical vote in all of in, the democratic senator from west virginia joe manchin who is telling our own garrett hague that democrats arent ready to go to alone quite yet on infrastructure. and one reason for that may be because even though these talks right now with the current republican group as you reference...

Probleming introducing a new infrastructure proposal by next week. the bottom line is manchin is still adamant that democrats and republicans need to work together and democrats cant move forward without him. they need his vote to advance any infrastructure proposal through the senate. so until they have him signed on, they have to listen to him. >> he shows a lot of power as we know. daniella diaz, thank you very much. an indian couple living in the united states saw how the coronavirus is de...

Wright spoke about it. these negotiations continue from manchin part of these negotiations to try to reach a bipartisan deal on infrastructure that could pass through the senate. >> all right, daniella diaz, appreciate your reporting from capitol hill there. lets talk more about these ongoing talks. joining us to discuss is cnn political analyst errol louis. hes also political anchor for spectrum news and the host of the you decide podcast. good morning to you, errol. always great to have you. a...

We expect the meeting today to be a discussion over the phone not necessarily in person. president biden has been pretty tight lipped about what he expects from this. he said earlier today when he was speaking on this jobs report that he will let us know if he is going to expect a counteroffer after they actually have this conversation. of course that would be the natural next step given on wednesday. biden came down to only a trillion dollars in new spending. still a lot of money but far from w...

The president has cut his infrastructure proposal in half. he offered a way of funding this as an alternative to raising corporate taxes, which is -- which was his original proposal. and so he has made -- what democrats see is he is making concessions and the question is, i do believe there are republicans in the senate who want to make a deal. the question is, are there ten of them and what will scotts client mitch mcconnell say about that because there is also this issue of biden running on th...

Vulnerable group of people might need a third shot in order to see the full benefits. capitol policeer police officers talking exclusively to cnn about the horrors of the january 6th insurrection, including one who was beaten with an american flag and thought he was going to be killed. first the white house says its getting close to put up or shut up time. deadline is looming for republicans to reach a deal with president biden on his infrastructure proposal. biden has come did you know on his...

To change his approach to legislation. i think that is what biden was reflecting today in the speech. the question is what now. its not clear to me that the white house is going to dramatically change their strategy on legislation that does not involve their infrastructure proposal, which still remains a top priority for them, even after his remarks today on voting and on the january 6 commission, among other things. >> yeah, david, whats your take on his remarks? >> yeah, i was surprised by it,...

Part but on the part of the white house and democrats at-large with manchin in particular. and seeing that manchin has a realization that republicans are not necessarily willing to come to the table on reasonable things, and there is no movement on the senators part to change his approach to legislation. i think that is what biden was reflecting today in the speech. the question is what now. you know, it is not clear to me that the white house will dramatically change their strategy on legislati...
