i m not going to get the shot. go ahead and fire me and figure out how many people actually do that as soon as we got the numbers, we will share them with you. brian: guy like travis troy smith says if you have to get vaccinated to watch my show i m not going to your venue. ainsley: he canceled those shows. the democrats are struggling to find some sort of solution to get this social spending bill passed. joey manchin is saying he wants 1.5 trillion. bernie sanders says 3.5 trillion. they are trying to meet in the middle. steve: bernie wants 10. ainsley: exactly. let s be honest. yesterday they did meet and also met with jayapal. they met separately and this is after the meeting they came outside. steve: look, they are hugging. ainsley: some of the reporters were asking them questions. listen to this. how was your meeting it with congressman jayapal? where did all my friends go. bernie sanders you guys going
