To the billionaires wouldve never been passed through the billionaires who made a trillion dollars roughly during the pandemic while americans were suffering. the billionaires who would pay for the $350 billion a year, less than half the defense budget there would be invested in the american people. that money that would be invested in the american people which by the way economists have shown in early childhood education investments has 13% annualized return for every public dollar invested. th...

Officially the house of representatives are saying no votes until 10 pm but there is still an expectation that they will pass the infrastructure bill tonight. which means two hours to pass the bill. it is not scheduled yet, ill leave it to your viewers to do the math on what is most likely to have been there, but as you correctly point out speaker pelosi does not have bills on the floor that doesnt have the votes. but she has made a promise to her centrist members that she will do what she can t...

Real debate around how much to spend, around the price tag, and i wonder if the president brought you a bottom line from senators manchin and sinema. >> he did not. he was pragmatic, realistic, a man of great experience who said, look, clearly, i have to be straight-up with you, it is not going to be the $3.5 trillion number that we would all like or many, many of us, like me, would like, and so he said, instead of picking a number, what i ask of you -- this was literally his call to action for ...

Says, no, we should shut that down. so, the way you can deal with the dollars is to trim down the number of years that any one of these programs moves forward. so, he said, dont work by the math. work by the programs. the minimum, most important programs to make transformational change here. >> so, it sounds like, with this unity around sort of mission and purpose and policy, you all have really moved to how, to the tactics, and i wonder if you can tell me other than community college, moving it...

With covid and afghanistan and inflation and the border crisis. you remember vice president biden was very involved in that. we all know what he called it, a big blank deal. >> they knew the math then, martha. they knew it was going to be only democrats voting nor the affordable care act but they had wider margins in those days. now they dont have that liberty right now. that is the big question with this infrastructure-only vote whether it comes to pass. there could be a quite a few progressive...

You know, so this is where the details matter. but folks realize you cant have trillions of dollars of spending and say its not going to cost anything despite the fact its what republicans have done every time theres a trillion dollar tax bill passed through reconciliation. they dont even bother with the math. thats one of the things thats led to a lot of cynicism about this scoring. >> john avlon helping us make sense of this. here we are in the wee hours. thank you very much, john avlon. i app...

Spending. failure to pass anything is huge political failure on their part and i dont see them doing that. >> sandra: i wonder why joe biden doesnt take the microphone at 2:30. i pointed to tweet by tom cotton, joe biden believes this costs zero dollars, hold a press conference, explain the math, provide transparency, how do you come up with that? he will head to the hill? >> chris: on this point, remember, no reporters in the briefing room have votes, he needs to convince the people who have to...

>> the one bill is toxic. >> i understand you are placing blame on them. why not your fellow republicans, too. by my math, 70 should be voting for it along with you if a portion of the senate were to hold. >> i have committed as long as it is two separate votes. i have been communicating that to my team, as well as my district. but here again, last night the speaker decided not to have the vote because she is linking it to the $3.5 trillion bill. so she is making it a clear linkage between the t...

They dont get agreement on social spending and not just an agreement, demanding a vote, as well. that is not possible today because there is no final text for that social spending package. congresswoman ocasio-cortez says it is -- keep to the commitment to vote down the bipartisan bill without social spending or if there might be republicans who could make up the difference. the math is part of pelosis calculus. >> could you answer a few questions right now? >> i have a very important -- i will ...

Confidence yesterday that she would have this vote at midnight she promised that today there would be a vote but the math still doesnt add up. >> right. the math doesnt add up because the progressives who said yesterday and the day before that and the day before that they will not vote for the bipartisan traditional infrastructure bill. that they support because they dont feel comfortable that theyll get what they want and what they say americans need and were promise d by the democrats from the...
