Potentially $4 trillion budget plan that contains the rest of his family and jobs agenda. that sent of waves of consternation with republicans who he negotiated the bill with. it was evident from the get go those bills would proceed together. what republicans objected to was the ultimatum, that he wouldn t sign one bill without the other. friday white house officials scrambled to contain the fallout of the comments. the president got on the phone with lawmakers. it was evident that nothing short of the president coming out and clarifying would do. hence the statement that the president sent out yesterday. after announcing the bipartisan agreement i indicated that i would refuse to sign the infrastructure bill if it was sent without my family plan and other priorities, including clean energy. that statement understandably upset some republicans who didn t see the two plans as linked. my comments created the impression that i was issuing a veto threat on the very plan i just agreed to wh

He s going to sign this buy american order at the white house. it would encourage federal agencies to buy american products, specifically steel, aluminum, cement. but the jobs agenda faced a setback when foxconn reversed plans to bring thousands of jobs to wisconsin. the president was all about this last summer. moments ago, we broke ground on a plant that will provide jobs for much more than 13,000 wisconsin workers. they wouldn t have done it here except that i became president, so that s good. ali velshi is here to explain. many people were saying this was never going to happen. let s take a look at what the promise actually was. hang on a second. oh, boy. don t let that big board go down. sweating bullets. here s the promise.
I think it will have a chance to get to the northern part of west virginia, receptive to president trump s jobs agenda. we re in a dead heat, 45-45. i think that the president gives us a boost to get over the edge. neil: the polls are tightening to your point. i was not aware of the tie one here. but do you worry from a crass political side, that if senator manchin votes for brett kavanaugh, you re finished? no, i think that people know that joe manchin, the only reason his vote is still in play is because it s an election year and people know that his history is very different than mine. he voted for 95% of barack obama s nominees. that s those are not conservative west virginia values, so regardless of how he ultimately votes, people know that the body of the work is bad. manchin opposed the trump tax cuts.
Politically he can t survive at home so that s what i expect after the republicans make it clear they have the votes and then and only then will joe manchin step forward. i think that s gutless because joe manchin should lead. west virginians are in support of voting for judge kavanaugh now and affirming his nomination to the u.s. supreme court and joe manchin, once again, is just ignoring the will of the people. he s a dishonest washington liberal and i think that people are finally seeing that and i m hopeful the president will call him out on that tonight. neil: will you be at the rally with the president? i will. it s another opportunity to talk about the difference between my campaign and joe manchin. i m the conservative fighter with a record of results who r support president trump s jobs agenda whereas joe manchin really has not led on almost anything. he s a washington liberal.
