people that opened the doors for the big tent that we have as democrats and especially as members of the congressional black caucus. >> also known as the conscience of congress. so i hear you loud and clear. congresswoman gomez, let me ask you. because a lot of this i think so in this bill. it does appear that democrats will have to depend on future congresses. you heard congresswoman beaty say that is phase 1. you are depending that should if gop take congress back, these programs will be too popular to kill. i would say that's never stopped the gop before. if they happen to take control of congress, how safe are the programs in build back better? >> i think every program and step we take in a more just country to make it more equal and equitable is always a fight. we always have to fight to keep it.
