and if you look at his approval rating, with independents, it s at, what, 7%? it s dropped 24 points since january. you have republicans, they are never going to vote for him. democrats will. with you that those independents, those are the people that he should be talking to because that will decide the future of this country. and he isn t right now. is he siding with the progressives. pete: for sure, i hope for the sake of this country, of course these two bills. to your point, will, the longer it takes the more people are going to look at the poll numbers and distance themselves talking before the show. you made a great point. you said it s not as if joe biden is going to go campaign for him anyway. didn t campaign for himself. if he is not popular, you don t want him campaigning for you anyway. so this whole build back better agenda could quickly become something that they want to distance themselves from. and not vote for at all which is why six weeks would be probably a death ne
challenging for the party, mr. president? [shouting questions] come on, man. unite the pearkts 50/50, i got it. carley: hope you had that on your bingo card. another thing that happened in this meeting a lot of people walked away thinking they were victorious. moderates were disappointed because he made it clear that the budget reconciliation and the infrastructure bill are linked but the one thing that he did say, will, is that progressives need to go down on the price. so not 3.5 maybe something closer to 2 trillion. that s 12 zeros. will: that is the number was somewhat a more news 1.8. 2.5. 3 trillion. we know it s big to your point. progressives are winning. they want to tie these two bills together and they have successfully done so. and joe biden dr. asking are you
will: democrats deadlocked on passing massive bills as progressives succeed in linking the $3.5 trillion spending bill and the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill. let s bring in former congressman jason chaffetz and business professor at kings college brian brenberg. both are fox news contributors. gentlemen, thank you so much for being with us. jason, you have been in the halls of congress. you have some insight into what is going on. are you surprised that we re looking here not justs at the house speaker and nancy pelosi but the president of the united states and joe biden and not really being able to wrangle in their conference and get everybody on the same page and get done what they want to get done? it s not surprising because their margins are so small the promise of joe biden was that he was going to unite the country. he was going to bring together

republicans and democrats. that really hasn t happened. other than the infrastructure bill. but i concur with what the wall street journal wrote about today in an opinion piece which is the true power here, the one who has the veto power, i think, is bernie sanders. joe biden is a weak communicator. he s a weak president. he can t even answer questions from his own caucus let alone the national media. kamala harris is nowhere to be seen. bernie sanders is holding that progressive wing of the party, the most radical socialist left wing group of legislators we have ever seen in this nation, they are holding the rest of the bill hostage. and i think the country is in perilif that bill passes. will: let s talk about some of what bernie sanders hopes to be accomplished. this is what is in the $3.5 trillion bill now. issues free community college
