Running out of time. christmas is obviously next week. in addition, the procedural stuff that the senate has to go through to bring this bill to the floor is not quite ready yet, and theyre still outside of manchin other negotiations including the state and local tax, and so this bill is not just ready for prime time, and schumer hasnt said it publicly, but theyre not going to be able to break it up by christmas. >> it led to a day worth of manchin mania. when i talked to white house aides they ...

Bipartisan infrastructure bill. but hes also had a lot of big disappointments as well. ali, is there any movement left on capitol hill? i know nothing is technically over. but with senator schumer deciding to put a bunch of nominations on the floor, a lot of folks read into that that hes waving the white flag on both voting rights and build back better agenda for this calendar year. is that what your sources tell you? >> our sources told e us yesterday building back better on the back burner. be...

Its "way too early" for this. ♪♪ good morning and welcome to "way too early." lets hope your interest rates arent too high. chuck schumer will likely delay his self-imposed deadline to pass president bidens build back better plan before the end of the year. without manchin, democrats lack the 50 votes needed to pass the measure with a simple majority. as my colleagues and i reported last night, theyve grown frustrated with the slow pace of talks and those in the white house are dismayed ...

That. the white house hasnt given any of that. but it does look like it is -- it is real trouble here to get it done by christmas. the point is when they put a dead line on lawmakers, they do that to try to force them into action. senators dont make choices until they have to, okay. and by putting a deadline on it, trying to force his colleagues, his 49 democratic colleagues into taking a stand. the problem is, with manchin, took a stand against him. so that is a problem for schumer. that is wha...

Self-imposed deadly at the end of the year. chuck schumer saying he likely will push that vote to 2022, perhaps march of 22. fuelling the pessimism, senator joe manchin still the lone holdout in his party. still a lot of negotiating still to be done. we should note that publicly neither schumer nor speaker pelosi is throwning in the towel but the plan is focusing on the voting rights act and looking at that until the christmas recess. joining us now, saw hill capper and john brenna han. john, th...

So well see. i mean, i think the white house is feeling like, hey, if we get this done in january, as long as we get it done, its fine. schumers point is, i have to keep pressure on these guys or well never get it done. you know congress. if you change the deadline, congress will change the deadline. you know, he has a big decision to make in the next couple days, schumer, on whether he can do this. it doesnt feel like it now, that he is going to meet the deadline. >> white house aides echoed th...

Dont confront the reality that is staring in front of you, with the filibuster, other measures that you have, the dawn noted, to pull manchin, rein him in, get him in line with the presidents agenda. >> but looking realistically at where we are, and schumer has several weeks to meet a self-imposed goal, to finish the legislation, conventional wisdom is that if this gets pushed to 2022, the midterm, here it is exponentially harder to get it done. do you buy, don, that conventional wisdom, and if ...
