And jobs bill. but the man who appears to hold the key to all of this is a democrat from a state donald trump carried by almost 40 points. west virginia senator joe manchin. and a 50/50 senate, his vote means everything and he wants biden to keep talking with those republicans. >> if this negotiation falls apart tomorrow, the president policy says its time for democrats to go on this. it is time to go to reconciliation. are you ready to do? that >> i dont think so. >> i dont think you should alr...

Deadline for any major breakthroughs are where these talks are going? >> no. he is going to continue to have conversations with democrats and republicans about what the path forward may look like. were not here to set new deadlines were, going to continue those conversations. >> meanwhile, the president has weighed in on the fight over the january 6th independent commission. firmly ruling out appointing his own presidential panel. the white house issued a statement that reads in part quote, memb...

Week. but the president and the administration is facing a new push, a little bit of impatience from their left flank. which is also important. so at some point these negotiations will end and they will have a bipartisan deal, or the white house will go alone and try to push something through with democratic support in reconciliation. a lot of the money in washington thinks the latter is more likely outcome here. but you cant get to that point without going through a really robust negotiation pr...

Staff going into the capitol hill police and we are looking at a lot of those videos. im not ready to release a report on it. the portrayal of january six has been highly biased. i think it is driven by the very slick video that was produced by the impeachment managers. >> why are you not aggressively looking at what happened that they, from the perspective of president trumps role? >> because we have had an impeachment trial. i want to know why we were better prepared at the capitol. i want to ...

He has, as he laid out there, a very specific idea of how the senate should fog shun. he wants to see function in a bipartisan way. that may be a complete anachronism for our modern senate. certainly a lot of his democratic colleagues in his body think. so that is the way he is chosen to operate. manchin takes a lot to grief for his position on the filibuster and on the voting rights bill, which he does not support. which are the things that separate him from the majority of his party. but he ha...

Should work in a bipartisan way. and that will foster many of his colleagues, particularly on those two key issues. the voting rights bill that democrats want to pass and, the filibuster that they would need to remove to do so. >> lisa, do you care to guess why biden seems so determined to continue to pursue bipartisanship? >> well, in part because of joe manchin. right? there is a real advantage for biden and continuing to push this. at least a certain. point because he, even without republican...

Big lie tour. what do you reckon is the percentage of republicans who are truly psyched to see this? and what is it going to do if they ever care to launch an idea or policy? >> its not a small percentage of republicans, i can tell you. that about 66% of republicans have questions about the election. question whether biden was legitimately elected. and i think all of this chatter about a reinstatement, the presidents allies are putting out there. that he thinks he is going to be reinstated in au...

Been worked out between the white house and congress is really just to ask him the same information that is revealed in the mueller reports. i dont know that the substance of his testimony will change too much of anything. but i do think it is important that he finally be brought before congress to testify, in hopes that perhaps we can do something to speed up the process. if donald trump famously vowed to fight all of the subpoenas, and although he ultimately didnt prevent don mccann from appea...
