weapons ban. it saved lives. no matter how long it takes, we are going to get these passed. we are not going to give up. and that s not the only difficult policy area that biden is pushing in. this week he touted his $2.2 trillion comprehensive infrastructure plan. he emphasized its importance and says it is in the best interests of the american people even if republicans in congress won t support it. a recent poll shows a majority of americans support the plan. 62% of all voters think it is a good idea. 42% of republicans can get behind it. infrastructure is traditionally thought of as roads, bridges, tunnels, things like that, but biden is looking to redefine it. he is expanding its breadth to include things like access to clean water, internet, stable child care and even care for the elderly. it still depends on roads and bridges, ports and airports, rail and mass transit, but it also depends on having reliable high-speed internet in every home. because today s high-sp
sitting members of the united states senate announced that they opposed the entireat foundation of american civil rights law and then proceeded to attack the core principle, thehe main principle of our country. some people on twitter were shocked by it but otherwise you would never know it happened. but it did happen. tammy duckworth of minnesota and mazie hirono of hawaii publicly informed the white house until the biden administration puts more people they like in powerful jobs, they will refuse to confirm any white nominee. quote, i m a no vote on the floor on all non-diversity nominees duckworth said out loud with cameras rolling.as i will vote for racial minorities and i will vote for lgbtq. but anybody else, i m not voting for. just in case you missed it or unclear on the meaning, duckworth said this several times and then mazie hirono backed her up. here is hirono yesterday on msnbc.ir tammy s position is that until she gets a commitment from the white house that the
democrats desperately scrambling to make a deal tonight, because president biden s $1.9 trillion covid relief bill is at this moment at a standandstill. right now, it s all about democratic senator joe manchin. democratic leaders are racing to keep manchin from joining the other side of the aisle about extending unemployment benefits. the fear tonight is that the moderate west virginia senator will side with republicans. that could put biden s first major piece of legislation in jeopardy. and adding to the nail-biter, republicans are now down one senator. senator dan sullivan is flying home to alaska tonight after his father-in-law passed away. there is so much going on. let s go to manu raja. is there any sign where this is headed tonight? reporter: things are stuck right now. in fact, that s the words of one democratic senator involved in the negotiations, telling a republican senator, john cornyn, who just told me moments ago he s been told they re stuck. and behind the
i mean, it s this guy, remember? i want you to listen to me, i m going to say this again, i did not have sexual relations with that woman, miss monica lewinsky. greg: an oldie but a goody. funny i think engages, right kamala? [laughter] [laughs] where shall i start? [laughs] greg: oh, man. diabolical laughter is the best medicine. the last time avp laughed that hard was in an orange hunting vest telling his buddy to walk it off. i get it, harvey weinstein is in jail, epstein is dead, and they turned down a zoom call with jeffrey toobin so instead you ve got a one-on-one with bill clinton, although i m not sure that means the same thing to him as it does to us. i guess he prefers a two on one but you don t want to tempt fate. besides, kamala is waiting for another old white guy to have a cardiac event. still it s weird, sit down on empowering women and girls is like having woody allen direct a team s choice award. but bill is the expert in empowerment, in which you
another 745,000 filed first-time unemployment benefits just last week. and unemployment is going to run out in ten days unless this stimulus bill is passed. these people still insist the election was stolen. they sit in hearings denying the reality of january 6th. there is a new investigation into communications in the day or so leading up to the january 6th terror attack between gopqers and those who attacked us. question, is it time to stop hoping for better from these people when they keep showing you their worst? is this not the most perverse and complete co-opting of a party by opposition and animus that we have ever seen in this country? and yet president biden still extends a branch. i have been talking to a lot of my republican friends in the house and senate. continue to do that. so we re keeping everybody informed. why? mr. president, every single house republican voted against covid relief. i have not seen anyone act like a friend toward you or your ambitions.
