There may be a means to get this done. i know that schumer and nancy have moved forward on a reconciliation provision as well. so im still hopeful we can put together the two bookends here. >> and the second issue is yesterday or earlier this week, mitch mcconnell said if republicans were to take back the senate in 2022, he did not see the way you could get a supreme court justice confirmed. do you have a response to that? that would be next year. >> i know. i know. the answer is mitch is -- mit...

There may be a means by which to get this done. i know that schumer and nancy have moved forward. so im still hoping we can put together two bookends. >> reporter: do you have a response to that? >> no, i know, the answer is mitch is -- mitch has been nothing but no for a long time, and im sure he means exactly what he says, but well see. >> mr. president, did you talk with president putin about the iran nuclear deal? >> yes. >> reporter: what did you decide? >> it was about how we would jointly...

We appreciate everything you do well talk soon. now i want to go to ohio senator rob portman. senator, president biden at this gathering was asked about the possible infrastructure deal that by the way youre helping to craft. heres what he had to say about that. >> i honestly havent seen it. i dont know what the details are. i know my chief of staff thinks theres some room that there may be a means to get this done. i know that schumer and nancy have moved forward on a reconciliation provision a...

Working on bipartisan ships. joe manchin just praised schumer for giving them a chance and, senator romney is looking at being open to the conversations. think they can show that off or shut that down, you do have to give bipartisanship a chance. but also, the clock is pretty much still ticking. i will pivot back to the point you made earlier about mitch mcconnell. mcconnell saying that he is not going to allow a supreme court pick by biden. because i think that it encapsulates what is wrong wit...

Of the complicity of the trump administration in the insurrection and in the coup. meanwhile, their own voters are still practicing the insurrection. theyre still trying to get it to happen, so if they supported this investigation, they would be, you know tacitly putting out information that opposed what their base is looking for. thats why they flipped on a dime. it was in response to that. i totally agreed. their top priority is in blocking this. if anything, they would be more likely to suppo...

Administration. whats going on? >> i do know how it is just unbelievable to be delayed. the process should not be this way. it affects our national security. so whats going on is biden is not putting up candidates that are capable of making it through the process. and some of them are having to withdrawal because of their left, liberal agenda and it needs to be the agenda of the american people, a nonpartisan agenda. brian: you know there is 10 pending confirmations where there is a candidate up...

Giving the bipartisan effort another week to ten days. what is the latest? >> reporter: some important movement on infrastructure. chuck schumer says he will convene a meeting tomorrow to discuss a way forward on a budget resolution that would be the filibuster-proof vehicle that can pass the senate without any republican votes, with a simple majority. it will be a major test for schumer to keep all 50 democratic members in line. but it comes as theres a growing feeling among democratic leaders ...

Stamp of approval? >> far be it from me to tell speaker pelosi what to do but i personally think that doing nothing is an option. thats how the leadership views it, as well. i believe this bipartisan commission was a few votes away in the senate and i understand that there might be a change of heart from a couple people potentially because of the very narrow focus of the investigations currently and the product of some of those investigations that came out recently in the senate. so, im hoping t...

So the white house doesnt see a rush to move fully under reconciliation. they want majority leader schumer and bernie sanders to get the ball rolling on crafting what needs to be started, that process for reconciliation, but they also have reason to let these bipartisan talks keep going because they know that they need manchin and cinema to come along. >> i have questions whether they say they get a small deal now in a bipartisan fashion. f melanie, do you think it is realistic that there could ...
