Opposed to the democratics passing the president bidens package, now is it about the definition of the budget, or is he actually opposed to them passing other reconciliation bills that include most of the presidents economic priorities? >> he actually said today, that he was. meaning that he started off saying i didnt think we needed this at all. zero. and so from the perspective of thinking that we needed zero. and that all we need was the bipartisan infrastructure bill, he sat down with some s...

Schumer talked. pelosi said their parties were not trillions apart. they were, and schumer has known since july that joe manchin was not going to budge on a $1.5 trillion maximum price tag. that is less than half the 3.45 trillion that leaders continued to push. >> i brought the 1.5, as you have seen, i think, by now. the 1.5 was always done from my heart basically what we could do and not jeopardize, not jeopardize our economy. peter: he only shared that privately until now even though leadersh...

Manchin proposed one to schumer back in july to limit the spending package to $1.5 trillion which he and schumer signed. do you accept that thats the figure he has been putting forward, and if so, what do you think about that figure. >> look, theres just no deal on the table. i talked to senator schumer today about that piece of paper because i wanted to know what was dpgoing on, and the senator made it clear to me that that was what senator manchin wanted him to see and he saw it and he signed ...

Legislation is negotiated or completed. we are just happening to see all of this front and center. i think joe manchins words yesterday that 1.5 trillion was his number and then obviously revealing that he and senator schumer had a deal, i think the fact that there was not an eruption in the house amongst some progressives around that, suggests that there is an openness, there is a willingness to negotiate. and whenever your president and own party comes before you and says this is about us, its...

What about a possible trust deficit between chuck schumer and nancy pelosi. we talk about now everyone is showing their cards. joe manchin, it turns out, showed his cards to chuck schumer in july. they have a signed document where the two of them said, yeah this is joe manchin, how far he will go, but schumer didnt tell anybody or kept it tight to the vest? >> i think that was a huge development yesterday learning that after months of democrats on the hill constantly asking the question, what is...
