momentum to raised tax bracket the top bracket and they didn t. they keeps the trump tax cuts in place. and the question is, they also say they have 200 billion for deficit reduction. how do you literally over 3 trillion in combined bills. and have the deficit reduced. do they think we are idiots? of course you can t reduce the deficit. at the same time, fox has been commenting about the jen psaki s comments that it costs us nothing. ron klain was out tweeting today boasting that this bill is going to be multiple times as large as fdr s new bill in spending. how do you say it s that much spending at the same time it costs nothing. i think another challenge they have, brian, is politically, what they caught themselves doing is saying we need to pass this to show that we can get something done. brian: i know. we need to pass it for biden. we need to pass it for terry mcauliffe. we need to pass something. but the reality is what they are selling nobody wants.
was on capitol hill where negotiations are crumbling over the democrats massive spending bill. this is new news. biden is looking to push through socialist build back better program. why the bill is held hostage waiting for a vote. after hitting the capitol this morning. biden gave update on where we stand. months of tough and thoughtful negotiations, i think we have an historic i know we have historic economic framework. framework create millions of jobs, grow the economy, invest in our nation and our people. brian: lots has changed since then. let s be clear the framework is not a done deal. the house has put out their text for the bill coming in 1600 plus pages sliced, died and some cases bulked up. i hope there are speed readers in congress. will they each try. a lot of pages to get through before casting a vote. so much at stake. that s what democrats do, remember, we have got to pass the bill before we find out what s in the bill.
so they have caught themselves in boxed themselves in a corner that they failed, they look incompetent and if they succeed they will hurt themselves next november. brian: monica for people at home i don t want to confuse them the 1.75 is democratic driven the 1.2 with 1.2, should they should though vote for that bill? they need to have an understanding two separate bills these are de facto one bill. one giant bill that the democrats just split into two. to try to get some bipartisan support first one. that s called the infrastructure bill but very little of it, i think like 6 to 8% of that $1.2 trillion bill is actually dedicated to hard infrastructure. roads, bridges, trains, things like that that americans actually do think need improvement. so if i were a republican on the
the former treasury treasury secretary. the president hopped on a plane g-20 get a vote on at least the 1.2. what happened? well, brian, i think we have been here before. it feels like groundhog day when the president comes up to the capitol and you expect to get a deal and walks away without a deal and the reality is the bill he was hoping to get passed away for the infrastructure to get passed. the reality is the progressives have decided to take a page from sort of their tactics to say we are going to take the infrastructure bill as hot damage and not pass infrastructure until we see text framework means nothing. trillion to 1.75. qui don t know that we don t know that the cbo has to score
expanding, listen to what kevin mccarthy said one hour ago. this bill will make china nor more comive than america. august those businesss we bruit back to america by making america competitive the forces of this bill will push to you go to other countries which is a disadvantage to american workers. but, at the end of the day, it will be working and the middle class americans who will also be asked to foot the bill and their jobs in many cases could be pushed overseas. enough to the president insists anyone making as you just heard $400,000 a year won t have their taxes raised. but their wallets are going to be a whole lot lighter with groceries, gas, mcnuggets and all of this cost more. you know this already. if you want a plan to stall the economic recovery and crush the american worker, the build back better plan is the plan for you. which thankfully, at this hour is not passed. marc short, like to try to pass legislative agenda had a lot of success with it executive director now
