Well, i don t want to, and they ve got power. that other person who reliably plays that role is senator kyrsten sinema. nbc has reporting, i m just gonna read this that we have from a source close to sinema, she s not upset she wasn t included in talks, although it is true she was not looped in are included. she found out about this when the press release came out. what is interesting is notable is that the deal includes a tax provision she has been clear and consistent with opposing, that was not in the house passed bill. it also is not needed as a pay for or for deficit reduction, it randomly reappeared here despite kirsten s known opposition. sifting through all of that, i hear, i wasn t part of the negotiations, but, okay whatever. you put in this provision that i already said i m not for, you put it in any ways, but it
Has been very clear in saying lucky believes that all members of congress should support, this democrats and republicans. but all democrats should support this, and we should get this done as soon as possible. we will go through this next week. there will be twists and turns. but our focus is and making the case, in very practical terms, this is going to help people in their lives. prescription, drugs health care, energy, these are things people deal with on a day-to-day basis. this bill will make a big difference in. that two questions before we have to let you go. one, how much inflation, and price increases, how much, it s a global phenomenon, but how much of that is corporate greed? look, i think that where we are today, you see that it is a global phenomenon, you do see that across the developed countries inflation is running at more than 9%. and ultimately, the solution to that is taking the kind of action we were just talking about. at the same time we definitely see some places where the lack
To kill the pact act, which would ve helped veterans who worked and burn pits. let s watch this, we ll talk about it real fast on the other side. what do you say to those who find it impossible to believe that of all the multi trillions of dollars in their federal budget, this is where you and republicans decided to take a stand? people take a sympathetic group of americans, it will be children with an illness, it could be victims of crime, it could be veterans have been exposed to toxic chemicals, craft a bill to address their problems and then sneak in something completely unrelated that they know could never pass on its own and dare republicans to do anything about it because they know they ll unleash their allies in the media and maybe a pseudo-celebrity to make up false accusations to try to get us to just swallow it shouldn t be there. pseudo-celebrity, real fast, let me hear from both of you. joan, go first. i guess that s john stewart, he s more of a celebrity, more of a known person then to me. that s incredibly cynical.
He refuses to say what is in the bill now that wasn t it before when he supported it and what he wants cut. what he wants cut is going to be unpopular. other people say there is nothing added to the bill. so, it s really disappointing because he s on his way out, he doesn t really have to do this, takes such a hard cynical line, except, he wants to make a lot of money when he gets out representing corporate interests. this is what we can expect from pat toomey. tara. i think this is despicable, an attempt up political bregman ship again by republicans. it s retaliation because they got one upped, which very rarely happens. they got one up on the energy bill. this, they are using, veterans they re doing exactly what he s talking about, what pat toomey is talking about, they re using veterans for political winds. i think that s disgusting. these folks have actually been, in, out advocating for this, for their lives. this is something that they

How can they, how do they justify that veterans that they d vote against a bill like that? it s sheer vindictiveness, pettiness, hypocrisy. you expect that at times from the republicans, but not over veterans. i, mean that s what s so sad, these are people who have defended the united states, they rest their own lives, they ve been injured, have health issues because of that. you re playing politics because you don t want to give the democrats a win. ted cruz has been so hypocritical on this, he voted for, and then he comes up with some bogus answer about discretionary mandatory spending, it makes absolutely no sense. the only reason they re doing this is to stick it to the president, they re actually sticking it to our veterans. one more question for you, the house has been very successful in passing laws, codifying roe, passing an assault weapons ban just before the weekend, codifying roe, legalizing contraception. and yet, it s gonna go over to the senate, and nothing will happen, it will die.
Look, it s not the bill i would ve written, it s not the bill the progressives would ve written, it s the biggest investment in climate in american history, it s the biggest investment any country has ever made. you have groups like sunrise, you have groups climate activists saying, pass this, the progressives want to get it to a yes. i am confident that if the senate gets the bill, we will pass it. there s some moderates, particularly those moderates from northeast states, i m thinking of congressman gottheimer of new jersey, they went state and local taxes to be a part of this package, it s not there. do you think they ll go along with this bill if salts not in their? first of, all this is not a tax bill. it has a provision to have taxes on corporations aren t paying, it but it s not a tax bill on individuals. secondly, look, they re not representing 60%, 70% manchin was a different case, he was representing a state that trump got 70% with, that s
Senator johnson, and you are the next senator from wisconsin who there is going to be a lot of legislation showing up at these on the doorstep. such as the house passed a bill that would codify roe v. wade. would you vote for that? of course. the house codified berger filed, which the respect for marriages act, which would protect same-sex marriage and interracial marriage. would you vote for that? absolutely. the house has codified access to contraception. would you vote for that? well, certainly. the senate is apparently this close to voting on a deal that is called the inflation reduction after 2022. if you are in the senate right now, would you vote for that? i would do it for it. and the thing about it is i was going to say, even that
Stand in the way of the entire democratic agenda, of the entire climate agenda. the proof is actually the chips bill, which is a big deal. i mean, that s make it in america, the president passed through the senate and the house, we passed a bill, presidents desk, it s gonna bring semiconductor manufacturing back into the united states, it s a lower prices because i would not depended on shipping things from overseas, that passed without a single democrat voting no. so, we need to talk about the times the democrats have been passed the american rescue plan, we passed infrastructure plan, we passed chips, and we re gonna pass climate, it s actually a pretty historic record if we get that done. one thing that the house passed, but the senate didn t, it was the pact act, the bill that would help veterans who worked in the burn pits in afghanistan and iraq. republicans voted against it, it failed in the senate. after passing in the senate earlier with 84 votes.
