Thats what you were negotiating on. that makes sense. now i have something that makes my life different. i understand its frustrating in the moment, but i dont see that it is -- you know, i think the overall question of how when the house passes bills and sends them to the senate and they dont get done, things like voting rights, things like the george floyd justice in policing act, thats when you see people starting to get frustrated over time. and yet, we have delivered on the biggest rescue p...

>> i have a feeling those guys are getting to know you quite well given your intrepid nature of reporting. let me double-check what you just got on your phone, not a done deal, but at this moment you have senators sanders, sinema, warren, and others trying to negotiate lowering drug prices and expanding medicare, presumably, im putting words in your mouth, but presumably to include vision and dental. hearing is already in the bill. is that all you read it? >> thats right, hearing is in the bill....

How do you think the white house is feeling about it so far? >> i think theyre positive and recognize its a work in progress and they also recognize the global minimum tax was absolutely the biggest thing that they knew they were going to get out of it. they had it locked in before they showed up here. a lot of what they wanted to take out of this three or four-day period was what they got bilaterally and multi laterally. and nic makes an important point and the discussions on iran and we were t...

Longer. look, they can pass the infrastructure bill more when they want to if theyll vote for something that they support instead of justing it as a bludgeon against their honey colleagues. in terms of the reconciliation bill, its a work in progress. its not solved next week. the senate -- the key senators that they need, manchin and sinema have not agreed to the deal. as long as they hold out, you wont see it. so i expect this to stretch for several more weeks. >> neil: all right. well watch it...

It’s got genuine laugh-out-loud moments and stream of consciousness unpredictability, combined with a great supporting cast of characters.

Might be and we welcome that. but i trust the president of the united states. we have -- in all of these things, we have agreement. that goes further than i thought. i dont know, we will see what they say back. there are some things that are not in, and i have frankly not given up on but being the mother of five and six years i always bring that up. changed more diapers than anyone in the congress, i would still like to see that if we cant get the rest. but thats still a work in progress. >> whe...

It was an election year. i sat down with the authors, one of those is reed, my son and his buddy, john mahoney. we had a great conversation. dont miss that. head to foxnewspodcast.com. a great christmas present. thanks for being with us. check that out. a great day today, october 28. well be back here tomorrow. see you then. >> neil: just call it a frame work in progress. man, oh, man, is it ever an expensive frame work. were told probably 1.75 trillion. probably closer to 1.85 trillion. but who...

Say it was good meeting and theyre going to keep working. on the manchin front, he was mum all day. he said he was okay on that $1.7 trillion price tag, but he just tweeted a statement now where he said he is reading through the bill text and he hopes to keep working in good faith. when you heard words like good faith, continuing working, work in progress, they are not close to being done. >> that is what it sounds like, ali visit stally, thank you very much. joining me now is susan rice, she ha...

Manchin. democrat chris coons says everyone is on board. >> youre the reporter, you interview them. you get what comment you can. i think this is trying to find some reason for not believing that the president has accomplished a frame work that i think moves us forward in a significant way. >> liberals are skeptical of manchin and krysten sinema. there could be several hundred updates, like not getting everything you wanted under the true but you could with a managers amendment. so the big text ...
