these two people. so, yeah, maybe there does come a day where everyone doesn t fall in line and in step with what the majority want to do but it won t derail everything. i had a situation one time so i live in new york and i had a situation one time i could barely pay my rent. and to biden s point he was making enbefore, every dollar mattered. if i didn t have every single dollar i d basically have no dollars. i would be like hey could you take $740, because i almost have it. she sos ambiguous about her position and even the white house now is calling her out. noah, i guess you have cory bush who s been calling out senator sinema to some extent and the positions he s been taking. although we generally don t know what specifically she s negotiating on. so ite really begs the questio how do you negotiate with someone who doesn t make their
on. but washington and the future of our country is still dancing to the whims of two conservative democratic senators, and obviously republicans who do not want to be a part of it.t take tax increases on corporations and the wealthiest among us, fram. from the beginning that s how the democrats have been planning to pay for the programs in biden s agenda. but that s apparently a deal breaker forar democratic senato kyrsten sinema. she says she ll not raise a single penny in taxes on the corporate side and/or on wealthy people, period. okay, senator sinema. positions like that which are drastically out ofic step with majority of the democratic party are a big part of why senator sinema has been facing so much criticism lately. just this week a group of five veteransve serving on adan advisory council for the senator resigned from their positions. in aed scathing letter where th accuse sinema of hanging her constituents out toan dry, they
noah, i ll start with you and give me your take here how these negotiations are progressing. as i mentioned there s been signs of optimism from democrats on the hill. do you think they ll be able to work out a compromise and a meaningful compromise? yeah, i m sure they ll work out something. it reallywo shows what a huge rk joe biden took by putting all of these programs from climate to taxing on the rich to so many others into one single bill. and, you know, biden took a huge risk knowing that he had a very closely divided senate. and now he s seeing some of the some of the rewards of that gamble. and so we ll see whether he can get anything out of sinema and manchin. molly, give me your take on what this says about the state of our sademocracy that these t
constituents. however this plays out our democracy and our country itself is basically being held hostage by two h senators. here s how president biden put it at a town hall the other night, watch. primarily the united states senate and your president of the united states and you have 50 democrats. everyone is a president. every single one. well, i ll agree with the thrust of what the president was saying there, the fact is there s only two senators, just two who are holding up the democratic agenda. soic we don t have one presiden or even 50 presidents. we have three of them. congratulations presidents sinema and president manchin. joining me now. josh johnson he s a standup comedian and writer for the daily show with trevor noah great to have all three of you with us.
