Sort of know where the there is. thats the big lie. and thats going to point toward republicans. >> so, there are many people up in arms over the fact that republican chip roy of texas basically says he feels its his job to fight the democratic agenda until 2022. lets listen to what he said. >> youre seeing it happen in transportation and infrastructure, pelosi is just attacking hard to the left, aoc, this whole pelosi, schumer, biden thing on infrastructure. we have no idea where they are. so i...

That is just not the way any american president, i think, has ever referred to hitler. before and again, donald trump showing hes unlike every prior american president. >> yes, doesnt care clearly. >> and who is influencing him to -- where he would get this kind of information and somehow purport that it is the truth? but i also want to ask you, david, about a tape that -- a purported tape of republican congr congressman chip roy saying it is the gops job to destruct everything until next year. ...

Progressive part of the democratic party? >> yeah, this is the big question. if they can get the 29 republicans to vote for it in the end, well, that means they can lose 29 a couple more democrats. i have been talking to progressive sources today and they are confident theres a much bigger faction of the progressive member of the house than there is of this bipartisan problem solvers caucus, and so they insist that speaker pelosi, president biden and leader schumer are going to have to stick to ...

How confident are you that congress, you and your colleagues on both ends of the u.s. capitol, can get an infrastructure bill passed and on the presidents desk for his signature? >> well, you know, i keep hope alive. i want you to know that the stimulus package that we passed as a congress, how amazing is that, that we actually did our job. we came together and we invested in the american people during a pandemic. we have done it. we have a pathway that we can get this done again. im so proud of...

Dumpty, and everyone is scrambling to put it back together now. as of now, it appears that at least some of the five of the ten negotiators are back on board. the question now is whether liberals are going to be furious with bidens walk back, and his pledge to not veto one of the bills unless he gets the partisan larger package. the thing to keep in mind here, though. is ultimately, pelosi and schumer are the ones that control the legislative process, the ones in charge of the sequencing, the ti...

Child tax credit? waiting. so you have the smaller infrastructure plan and then this giant wrestling match in the democratic party. >> yeah. this is just a reminder that for all the weeks we have talked about this bipartisan deal, is it going to come together or die? the hard part is just beginning. thats democrats trying to come together on this reconciliation bill. democrats only bill that addresses human infrastructure, family leave, et cetera. and the cost is going to be the first issue that...

For the congressional leadership on the democratic side, pelosi and schumer, to do the same. mcconnell is just one vote. he doesnt need to vote for or against this for it to move forward, but he does have some sway, we all know that, in the republican caucus. so the question, is this a signal of whether he plans to stay in the way of the deal or just simply having some fun at the hiccup already on the democratic side. >> mike memoli, always having fun on a monday morning. thank you for that. u...

This thursday, friday, this is a historic day for america, acting as though legislation had been passed. nothing has been passed. >> reporter: the white house was way overenthusiastic. we are barely in the first act of this play, steph. a few thoughts here. number one, pelosi, regardless what biden says, the relation decision whether to link this is up to pelosi and schumer. doesnt matter to biden. the bill wont get to his desk alone if nancy pelosi and chuck schumer dont want it to. they releas...

President to ask the majority leader and the speaker to deal with these issues separately. to deal with them separately. thats the way the deal was negotiated according to the ten republicans that i can assure you who were in the discussion, there was no agreement that they would be linked. >> and also this week, the house is moving ahead with the commission on the january 6th insurrection after the republicans blocked the bill for a bipartisan panel to review the capitol attack. all right. join...
