Advancement and this flies in the face of that. i really question, by the way, the biden administration is doing this with no mandate. this was supposed to be return to normalcy, this is a way for california lawmakers and democrats to buy votes, hey, were going to give you money, vote for us. these entitlements will not go away ever and will turn us into europe with value-added tax and everybody will pay for it. you will have the likes of pelosi and schumer making decisions about how your money ...

And schumer setting a wednesday did line to agree to the partisan approach. that is not there yet either. the moderates are not there to endorse that yet. so this is shaping up to be a consequential several days ahead for joe biden to get his agenda through. well see if hes able to do just that. >> and it is still not clear and were not going to dive into this today, but how running unparallel, two different tracks, how their helping or hurting each other in getting something done. i dont think ...

Then they brought them to washington, d.c., thinking they were going to be any different from the activists that they were in their own city? no. they used those people as a weapon to get out the vote out, so they tried to scare everybody and do fear mongering. he in part helped to enable it. >> sean: "the squad," leo, i would argue is the modern democratic party. okay, maybe you look in the senate at joe manchin. you can look at senator sinema of arizona. okay, lets see how this all plays out i...

The framework? how hard is chuck schumers job there? >> i think it is a very hard job but senator schumer has been doing it extremely well and he has listened every caucus member. the budget committee has been working very hard together. you have senator bernie sanders and senator mark warner on both sides of the spectrum in terms of ideology coming together over this proposal. so this proposal has been vetted and it does things we need. it has affordable daycare, universal pre-k, national paid ...

In texas. hes concerned about primary challenges to his right. so theres almost nothing he can do in terms of being too conservative from his perspective that would put him at risk. his risk is that somehow he gets tagged as a rino and some insurgent candidate from the right takes him out in a primary. >> youre also seeing -- i want to play what schumer said today because in some ways im reminded of the texas democrats doing this back in the bush years when karl rove engineered this completely a...

Reconciliation later this year, democrats on the senate budget committee say they reached the deal last night on a $3.5 trillion proposal. it is separate from that bipartisan infrastructure agreement that focused a lot on traditional infrastructure like roads and bridges. laurenne fox is on capitol hill. laurenne, this is only democrats. schumer says when you add in the bipartisan one, you get to $4.1 trillion. he says it ticks all of bidens boxes. is it a done deal or where does this leave us? ...

Here. now democrats will still have to pass this on the floor and thats a holdover. remember, they have a broad coalition of democrats. they have people like bernie sanders who identifies as independent and people like joe manchin who is a moderate democrat and made it clear that hes not for a bunch of new government spending. can they convince him to get behind this $3.5 trillion framework thats really unclear at this point. now, i think a very important message that schumer is trying to send a...

Get yourselves to d.c., really at the point of the spear here. tell that to yourself. do you have plans? the senate is in session this week, to take individual meetings with senators? to talk to with the republican senators. do you have plans to speak with administration or anyone else do you think might be key to this process? >> well, we are very aware that the president of the united states will address the nation on voting rights. were keenly aware that the leader, schumer, knows the -- need...

The senate floor, chuck schumer saying he will meet with that group of texas democrats who have flown from austin to the u.s. capitol today, the ones who left not just to stall that restrictive voting bill in texas, but to push congress to pass voting protections at the federal level. im joined by texas state senator carol alvarado, youre separate from house colleagues doing the walkout george airborne. are you meeting with senator schumer or any others on the agenda? >> good morning, hallie. ...

Understand whats going on with joe biden. in my view, joe biden doesnt care about this country. he cares about joe biden trying to empower the democrat party because his filthy and faith is to the democrat party, same with schumer and pelosi, they never talk about whats right for the country for the consequences of their policies for the country. a perfect example, look whats going on at the southern border. if you had an ounce of human compassion, and arms of human compassion, you wouldnt prete...
