2 years ago covid-19 was not a thing. he is being reactive. is that a good strategy? wait and see what comes up next? >> no. not a good strategy. the winning message for democrats is clear. if joe biden should go to the american people and say i promise to reunite the country and i delivered. he cant do that because he didnt even try. he passed a bipartisan infrastructure bill and even that gave his blessings to the radicals in congress to take it hostage for this massive social spending bill. h...

Because theyre not getting writ of the debt limit. i dont understand it. make this hostage go away. it seems the republicans are wanting to hold it hostage but are actually not raising it, is that fair? >> reporter: oh, thats absolutely fair. i mean theres a big difference now than a couple months ago when they were working up till "the 11th hour." the difference is mcconnell has been involved in the negotiations. before there were no communications between schumer and mcconnell. now mcconnell i...

What you make of all this? >> i think the angle from last night and the take away from last night is exactly that, its that the progressives held by it in hostage. he had the infrastructure built in his pocket, the senate passed it to get how many senators, two-thirds of the senate if i recall, all the house had to do would sign off on it. it wouldve been a great thing. but they held it hostage for the build back better which was ridiculous. i just hope that he holds firm and that bill -- lets g...

Democrats to hold it hostage until they get the reconciliation bill. so he has a gun to his own head. >> martha: its fascinating that the transportation secretary pete buttigieg didnt say that when he was asked sunday, yes, lets just pass the infrastructure bill and then we can wrap our arms around this port issue and go back for the other human part later. he wouldnt say that when pressed. he wouldnt say that. that is his greatest interest right now in his job and being able to get out of the m...
