economy and globalization for so many americans were they have the jobs go offshore , communities and churches and then to find one-way tickets out of the hometown. but they don t want to move. they want to stay in the community so the 25 million decentralize. so i would say look at intel with a republican government and who deserves credit for that. 7000 construction jobs with the afl-cio that this is a new nationalism and enthusiasm. this is what we need revitalization of the country. steve: tell us the specific policy items across the country that they can pursue to make this happen? the first thing is that
manchin has wanted all along, whether they try to negotiate a larger package that encompasses more policy items. all of that remains to be seen. when you consider the legacy of harry reid, being able to push through so many legislative triumphs, i mean, when you look at the role the senate has played as a body that moves so slowly and so deliberately, it s a striking legacy. john, we re tight on time here, but quickly help us understand how big of a kingmaker was harry reid? harry reid was certainly a kingmaker for democrats in nevada, number one. number two, his creation of what they call around herele reid machine, it played an integral role in the democrats not just in holding power, but to grow, to meet the demographics of the new nevada. you see a female majority legislature in our state. you see a lot of things different from the politics reid
front but this was the reality of the build back better bill the entire time. everyone came in with a laundry list of policy items they wanted in. and instead of the narrative being look at all of these big things that we are doing for americans from things like the child tax credit to climate provision, instead it became a conversation of what was falling out because people like joe manchin wanted to keep this below the $3 trillion figure that we started on. or even frankly when progressives wanted this to be a $6 trillion investment in american social infrastructure. that has always been the conversation. so if it does end there and it is just the child tax credit. there is a world which some zmokts can out and say that s huge. but when you kbhar everything that was in the bill, it does look like they have lost the moment then. mark murray was doing the calendar math. donald trump got his tax cut in december of 2017. barack obama got healthcare
talk to your doctor. be in your moment. ask your doctor about ibrance. it was a big day for president biden as he saw one of his biggest policy items make it to his desk overnight, and speaking today, the president said it s a historic moment. i truly believe that 50 years
deliberations and negotiations, policy items that were important falling by the way side. only to beat revised and brought back in, moderates having their arms twisted but they would move on those tonight on the vote that we haven t seen yet, which is on the build back better package. i want to walk you through what s about to happen because they re in celebration about the bipartisan infrastructure bill that is happening. but now, we are seeing the house go on a procedural vote. there s going to be one procedural vote followed by a second procedural vote, the second one is what actually matters because as white kept all the different factions on board tonight. the second vote is a vote on the rules for the build back better act. it s what you need before you actually proceed on to the actual vote for that acts. and that bill, the actual vote, is not going to come for about a week.
