Last night. Progressive unity creating new leverage in their bid to pass this much larger, much vaster expansive working of the americans Social Safety Net. That is a hope, but its a risky move that leaves President Bidens domestic agenda hanging in limbo. House progressives dug in after joe manchin expressed his view on the 3. 5 trillion. Moderates keeping hope alive on a separate vote for infrastructure, Josh Gottheimer tweeting, it aint over yet. Negotiations are still ongoing. We have Team Coverage this morning starting with cnns daniela diaz on capitol hill. Daniela, Democratic Leaders calling a recess, forging ahead. What is going to happen today . A crazy day yesterday. Whats going to happen today . Reporter well, i cannot emphasize this enough, guys. Its not its a totally unclear whats going to happen today. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi governs with a heavy hand. She controls her caucus with a heavy hand. This is what we have known since these been a democratic leader. Its rare when she fails, but she failed yesterday. She exited the capitol after midnight, so only just a few hours ago, where she said there is still going to be a vote. Today she implied on friday, because the house is technically still in session. Theyre not recessed. But its unclear how she is going to navigate these relationships that she has in congress. On one hand, she has the moderates who wanted this vote on bipartisan on this bipartisan Infrastructure Bill yesterday. They had been pushing for this for weeks. They believe that this should pass because its already passed the senate. There is republican support and they want to see these jobs created for their districts. That group, of course, is led by Josh Gottheimer, the cochair of the problem solvers caucus. On the other hand, you have the progressives led by congresswoman Pramila Jayapals the progressive caucus chair. And she wanted this vote to be paused until the senators can share their top line for this economic bill that they want to pass that would expand the nations Social Safety Net. Things like combatting climate change. Paid family and medical leave. Expanding the child tax credit. These are priorities for the progressives. But house Speaker Nancy Pelosi ultimately failed to please both sides of these groups yesterday. And as a result, there was no vote. And the deadline was yesterday because there is some funding for Highway Programs that expires today. Thats all Up In The Air. But take a listen to what these two said yesterday, these two leaders of the different sides of the caucus, moderates and progressives, said yesterday on cnn where they shared where they stood on these issues. It doesnt make any sense to tank a key part of the president s agenda on infrastructure investment. Thats why i just dont see while this other bill is going through the process and building legislation, it doesnt make sense why we would do that. There isnt a deal on the table. It has to be a deal that not only manchin and sinema will agree to, but all of us in the house will agree to and the rest of the senators. Reporter part of the problem here is that these progressives are saying they dont know where these two senators, moderate senators stand, joe manchin and Kirsten Sinema. However, weve known for a while joe manchins Top Line Number for the economic bill to pass reconciliation is 1. 5 trillion. Hes been sharing if for weeks. In fact, document yesterday that cnn obtained showed he actually sent a letter to Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer where he stood, where he believed the Top Line Number for this bill should be 1. 5 trillion. So its unclear how the house and senate Democratic Leaders will work on this because they need to decide where they stand on this economic bill so that progressives can get behind it and vote for the bipartisan infrastructure package. But the bottom line here is everything is Up In The Air right now. But well get a sense of what happens as these lawmakers arrive later today. All right, daniela diaz, thank you so much for that. So, what is the white house saying about all of this . Lets bring in cnns White House Reporter jasmin wright. Jasmin, good morning. So, help me out here. Where does the white house come down on what the progressives have done here . In some respects you could say theyre trying to get the president s agenda passed. Right . This isnt their plan. This is the president s build back better plan theyre trying to get through and thats why theyre using these tactics. What is the white houses reaction . Reporter well, the white house is saying very clearly that the fight is not over yet, but it is despite the fact the president just did not pull this off yesterday, despite all of his efforts. Remember, this is a man that ran as having the unique ability to bring together the different factions of the parties. The progressives, the moderates, even republicans to bring change to the american people. To bring legislation that impacts their lives. But when he was put to the test yesterday, he now faces this important and really large setback on his agenda as you said. It begs the question of where does the white house go . What does the president do . Because, remember, this setback came after President Biden put a lot of time, equity into trying to get this done. From white house, Oval Office Meetings to going to congressional baseball game, to his own white house officials, you know, making hundreds of engagements, they said, with lawmakers over time to then camping out at house Speaker Nancy Pelosis Office Yesterday e. Still, it came to the fact they were not able to get it done. So, yesterday after it was made clear that the vote would not be happening, White House Press secretary jen psaki, she released a statement and she said that, you know, a great deal of progress has been made and were closer to an agreement than ever, but we are not there yet. And so we will need some additional time to finish the work starting tomorrow morning first thing. But make no mistake about this. After the setback, the president s agenda definitely hangs in the balance, as you just said, laura. And so the question is, what comes next . Because, right, there is really kind of this inability to bridge the gap right now as the president said. They are saying he is going to go forward. The work is going to continue, but it is a real question of what comes next for the president , for the white house, as he tries to mitigate really the differences in the next week, trying to bring both of these parties both of these sides of the parties together. Something he said he was uniquely able to do. Laura . Yeah. And we should mention there was no magic about yesterdays date, but there is a thing called momentum and the president wants to keep that up for sure. So they need to keep at this. Jasmin, thank you for your reporting. All this back ask forth in d. C. Means lobby palooza. The Infrastructure Vote gives time to lobby the president s agenda. No surprise the business round table opposes higher corporate taxes. Spent over 160,000 in facebook ads saying so. It undermined the competitiveness of the u. S. Economy, businesses and workers.

This morning chilling new Body Cam Footage shedding more light on the violence gabby petito says she faced at the hands of brian laundrie. While the couple was traveling in utah two weeks before she vanished. Cnns Leyla Santiago has more from outside the laundrie family home in florida. Reporter laura and christine, this Body Cam Footage we just obtained shows gabby petito having a conversation with another officer when the couple was stopped august 12 in moab, utah. She gives some insight into what led up to the fight, the altercation. Remember, up until now, weve only seen Body Cam Footage from one of the four officers involved that day. And in it she talks about how the bickering from earlier in the morning sort of escalated and led to that fight that led police to the couple. And there is a key question that you can now hear her response to. The officer specifically asks her, did he hit you . Listen. So, what happened here and here . Im not sure i was trying to get back in the car. So, the backpack got you . So theres two people that came to us and told us they saw him hit you. Two people say they saw him punch you. Its okay to say if he hit you. We want to know the truth if he actually hit you because, you know yeah, but i hit him first. Where did he hit you . Dont worry, be honest. I guess he didnt hit me in the face, he didnt punch me in the face or anything. Did he slap your face . He grabbed me. Thats why i could feel it.

Addictive and marketed to teens, they grilled the social media giant how it pushes a product they know is harmful to its youngest users. Donie osullivan has more. Reporter facebook found itself on thursday trying to downplay and discredit some of its own research on how its platforms, including instagram, affect teenagers. Have a listen. Facebook is just like big tobacco, pushing a product that they know is harmful to the health of young people. I want to be clear that this research is not a bombshell. Its not causal research. Its, in fact, just i beg to differ with you. This research is a bombshell. It is powerful, gripping, riveting evidence that facebook knows of the harmful effects of its site on children, and it has concealed those facts and findings. And senator blumenthal said they set up an account as a 13yearold girl. His staff use that account to follow some extreme dieting pages that are on instagram, and within a day, instagrams own algorithms, its own engines were recommending to that account that it follow accounts that were promoting selfharm. So really an experiment there showing really just how dangerous this platform can be for teenagers and for young people. Now, we know about all of this research that was leaked from facebook because of a whistleblower. That whistleblower is still anonymous at the moment. They provided documents both to congress, the sec and the wall street journal. But they are expected to testify before the committee next tuesday. So that will certainly be a hearing to watch. Donie, thank you for that. Retailer Neiman Marcus alerting millions of its Online Customers their accounts may have been breached.

All right, the good news in washington is the government is open this morning, and thats about it. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, after a full day of talks with the president and members of congress, unable to bridge the gap between moderates and progressives in her party. So she delayed the vote on eye 1. 2 trillion bipartisan Infrastructure Bill because progressives vowed to vote it down without a firm agreement on President Bidens larger cradle to grave package. They are staring at a possible default in 2 1 2 weeks. Lets bring in cnn correspondent john harwood. Nice to see you on this first day of october. Lets Start With A Quote Late Last Night by moderate democrat cindy axney from iowa. When voters tell me they are sick of washington games, all at once, it is no way to governor. This bill will be invaluable in the future of our state and create thousands of jobs in its lifespan. The passage should not be delayed. So, john, what needs to happen today to actually get a vote to the floor . Reporter well, look, i think, christine, youve got to look at it in two ways. Short term in the immediate moment its a mess, and they dont have the Infrastructure Bill. They might not pass the Infrastructure Bill today either. In the longer term, the white house and democrats interest getting closer to President Bidens goals. That is, yesterday the gears really started engaging on negotiations between the white house, the house and senate leadership, Kirsten Sinema and joe manchin, the holdout senators. They thought they could had a possibility of getting a comprehensive deal last night that would permit the passionage of the Infrastructure Bill. They depth. B didnt. But they are closer to getting that than they were before. In terms of a vote today, the most urgent thing, if they dont get the Infrastructure Bill, is to temporarily extend the federal Highway Program which expires at the end of the fiscal year, and the end of the fiscal year was last night. So you may see another punt, another shortterm passage, kind of like the continuing resolution that kept the government from shutting down. Theyll keep the Highway Program from shutting down, and theyll continue negotiations which may stretch over a matter of days. Maybe even a couple of weeks. But they do think theyre closer to the goal line. Washington loves a punt. Lets talk about joe manchin. All week weve been hearing from joe manchin. Whats his Top Line Number . Turns out he has a Top Line Number and far short of what progressives want. 1. 5 trillion. Hes actually been pretty clear about that number since at least july. Politico scoops this yesterday, this agreement that he has with Chuck Schumer, the Senate Majority leader. He also hinted on it pretty clearly with dana on state of the union. Weve known this number. Progressives apparently didnt get the memo on it. Why not . Reporter well, because its one thing to say have a number and say, thats my Top Line Number. Its another thing to actually begin to seriously negotiate. You also had another senator in Kirsten Sinema who was not quite as forthcoming as joe manchin. Yes, that whole 1. 5 trillion number has been out there. We didnt know until yesterday, and it was made public in the scoop that you mentioned about politico, the amount of detail surrounding what joe manchin had laid out and Chuck Schumer had initialled that piece of paper. But now is when we really find out where that package is going to end up. I suspect its not going to be 1. 5. It will be higher than that. I think the expectation among leaders in the white house and congress it will be somewhere between 2 and 2. 2 trillion. It will be a compromise. Progressives will not be happy at that level, but they may be happy enough. The strategy of the house leadership in this situation and the white house is to negotiate to a point at which they, joe biden and nancy pelosi can say to those progressives, this is it. This is the best we can do. Its either going to be 2. 2 or 2. 4 or 2. 1 or nothing, take it or leave it. And the progressives in their calculation are going to take it, and that will be the second part of bidens agenda. Then theyll pass the Infrastructure Bill. The progressives feel like theyve already compromised. Theyve come down from 6 or 7. They feel 1. 5 is not beginning to negotiate. The progressives its still a lot of money. A huge amount of money. They say this is about the president s agenda. Listen. This is all part of the build back better agenda, which is the president s agenda. And so weve got the president s back here. Were eager to pass both of these bills. They represent the president s agenda. This is not a progressive agenda. We are fighting for the build back better agenda, which is the president s agenda. Reporter so theyll be looking for leverage. If nothing gets passed, leverage becomes blame. What does the president do to make sure his agenda isnt torpedoed here . Reporter well, i think theyre doing it. Theyre trying to get very serious negotiation. The white house aides were on the hill in intensive talks. Joe biden is engaged during the week with sinema, manchin and others on the telephone. I think theyre getting closer. This is an interesting, guys, transition in politics. They are standing up for what joe biden laid out and its a little bit hard for people to get their minds around. You think, well, joe biden was the moderate democrat. He was more moderate than the rest of the democratic field in 2020. And he won the election. So people presume that his heart is closer to those moderates. However, he has laid down the agenda that the progressives are standing up for. Right. Reporter which reflects the power of their influence within the democratic party. So you have to marry the moderate temperament and sensibility that joe biden brings to this with the actual Policy Proposals hes laid on the table. And thats where the compromise is going to come. Which is why i think some progressives feel a little frustrated he hasnt been more publicly aggressive about supporting their position. Theres so much going on today. We actually get a Bonus Question for you, john. So, lost in all of this debate over infrastructure is the debt ceiling. Frankly, much more time pressing than infrastructure, sort of selfimposed deadlines. White House Press Secretary jen psaki addressed this yesterday. Listen to this. Republicans are playing politics with an economic catastrophe and treating plan for Working Families like a d. C. Game. There are huge impacts here. You touched on the fact, but let me give the public a little sense of that. An instant recession. 6 million jobs lost. 15 trillion in savings wiped out. Social security checks and payments to our troops blocked. Those are real impacts. Republicans and congress are treating this like a game. Reporter Leader Schumer insists the gop will come to its senses, optimistic as this October 18th Deadline reaches closer. But one senior gop aide, john, tells cnn republicans can hold out, quote, longer than biden and the democrats. Thats for sure. Do you think thats true . Reporter probably. But, look, biden and the democrats are the governing party. They are in charge. This is a true game of chicken where if the two cars collide, the World Economy blows up. And it is true that republicans are playing political games, trying to extract a political pound of flesh from democrats. But democrats do have the power to do it, to do it as part of this reconciliation process. Its difficult, its time consuming, but if youre the president of the United States and youre trying to avoid what would be catastrophic for the economy on your watch and on everybody elses watch, the path of least resistance may be to go ahead and do it on your own through the mechanism of reconciliation. Dont know that thats going to happen and we did get a little blink from Mitch Mcconnell earlier in the week. He said, well, ill make the Reconciliation Path easier. That was an accommodation that mcconnell was offering. Will that be the last accommodation he offers . Thats something that joe biden and Chuck Schumer are going to have to make a decision about, but i suspect that they will end up deciding to do it through reconciliation. And the debt limit will get raised. The question is how much of a White Knuckle time for markets and political leaders is it going to be. There is a story about trillion dollar coins to get out of this. This is dangerous, silly season. How do we get out of this mess. By congress raising the debt limit. John harwood, thanks. The Treasury Secretary describes not raising it. Should we be fine with getting rid of the debt ceiling altogether . I believe its very destructive to put the president and myself, the Treasury Secretary, in a situation where we might be unable to pay the bills. This step risks a financial crisis and crisis in confidence in the u. S. Ability to pay its debts. It is a selfinflicted political wound as harwood said. The past 50 Years Congress has raised the debt limit 78 times. 49 under republican president s, 29 under democrats. Well be right back. Helen knew exercise could help her diabetes.

I think where this gets touchy is when you mandate vaccination for private businesses down to the level of 100 employees. Thats where youre going to get resistance, youre going to get lawsuits and youre going to turn this into more of a political issue. Vaccines become another political issue we divide ourselves on as a society. Thats not just the Covid Vaccination rates, but vaccines across the board.
