it doesn't matter whether it's in six minutes, six days, or six weeks. we're going to get it done. [shouting questions] >> come on, man. 50/50 i got it. >> jesse: biden forced to step in because the democrat dumpster fire burning all week and shows no signs of simmering down. the party can't stop bickering how far left this plan should go. >> senator joe manchin said $1.5 trillion is his number. is that sufficient to the both of you? >> [laughter] who taking the money from? that is my question. he does not need any of the resource was we are talking about. >> i don't want to suggest that the progressives are wrong. they haven't been legislators most of them for a very long period of time. a lot of them have been activists and tried to get things in other ways. i have been a legislator for 44 years. my car is older than quite a few of the progressives. >> jesse: that's a pretty good line. dan, jacqui heinrich one of our reporters on capitol hill spoke to a democrat source told her biden's visit right now nothing burger. >> dan: that's the chicken guy. a character that guy. here is the problem, obviously, this is a cesspool of government waste. government as i said yesterday and i will say again to do nothing right, nobody -- everybody they touch they burn to the ground. it's assess pool. you are better off taking your money and burning it than giving it to the government because everything they give it to they destroy. so this is kind of like sadly, you know, a win for republican politics but a loss for the country either way. if it passes, biden destroys the country, inflation goes crazy. he decimates home healthcare everything else the government introduce it's disgusting tentacles into. if it doesn't pass, legislation goes down in flames. richard, you are looking at me. show me one area where government does anything right. okay, that's cool. i will disagree with you strongly. but, the one thing before i jet on this because it's really important. whenever you ask a democrat this question never give an answer i asked on my show "unfiltered" shameless plug. what's the questions into de facto bankruptcy. i don't know and you don't know either. brey yeah, that's my point. don't you think we should probably take it a little slow now that we have no idea when the de facto bankruptcy comes? because it happened in are a general teen that and venezuela and elsewhere. it's not like this is unprecedented. they keep spending and it's an insult to drunken sailors everywhere. >> jesse: we have a drunken sailor right here. richard fowler please respond to dan bongino's assessment that it's just worthless to spend 3.5 trillion while we can't even keep track of the money that's still gone out? >> richard: number one, i don't think the final bill will end up being $3.5 trillion a far smaller amount. number two, i think what biden did in meeting that we just saw there was let some air out of the room so the actual legislators in the ways and means committee get down and figure out how they come to semblance of a framework that allows all the democrats to come together and vote on this. i think it's worth pointing out both in the bipartisan infrastructure bill that passed the senate with 17 republican votes as well as what will be this reconciliation bill, what you are going to find is programs that will actually reinvest in america. right? we are the world's. >> jesse: reinvest. >> richard: wait a minute now we are the world's largest economy there are things we need to do that other economies have us beat. we are the only developed country doesn't have high speed rail. >> dan: thank god. >> richard: why could you say that. >> dan: it's a boon dog. >> richard: california and europe have high speed rail. >> jesse: those are tiny countries we would rather fly it's cheaper. >> dan: airplanes do it better. >> richard: crumbling bridges airports outdated and falling apart. we can go on. >> jesse: we can fix the bridge for less than 3.5 trillion. >> richard: there is multiple bridges. >> jesse: do it for far less than 3.5. >> richard: transportation is 1.5 trillion. trump supported that as well but i digress. >> jesse: 1.5. >> dagen: if the roads and bridges need fixing then why can't far left regressives get on board and vote infrastructure package then if this is such a need. this is as you pointed out a bipartisan package. so they should get. >> richard: i agree with that. >> dagen: i love watching a good catfight. kennedy knows that but this is like watching some chicks pulling each other's hair out in the parking lot while the was sips getting robbed behind you and the entire neighborhood is getting robbed. really the entire country. that's what this looks like. nancy pelosi is most concerned with how this is going to look a few weeks from now. keeping the house in session overnight so today is still thursday in case they vote on the infrastructure or saturday is going to be thursday. in the meantime, how about we -- this never happens. that's the win. this country does not need any of this build back better reconciliation spending at all. people are talking about $1.5 trillion from joe manchin in his letter that he sent over the summer as some paltry amount. brian riedel at the manhattan institute went through the numbers based on everything that joe manchin has voted for this year, it's actually $5 trillion in spending. 1.5 trillion was the last tax cut that we passed. and if you go through joe biden's idea that the left hates so much, it's raising corporate taxes, raising the top rate back to about 40%. raising capital gains tax rates and that destroys the economy. it doesn't help it grow. it hurts small businesses that are struggling mightily to recover from the pandemic. just one more thing, bernie sanders in that tweet two senators cannot be allowed to defeat what 48 senators and 210 house members want? it's 52, comrade. not 2. it's 52 senators versus 4. 8.fundamental misunderstandingf sanders in civics and math. that's who wants to spend your money, dan. >> jesse: bernie made pelosi look pretty dumb yesterday. basically pulled the rug out from under her. said they were going to have the vote. bernie told the far left squad don't do it. >> absolutely do not vote infrastructure has to be tied to the 3.5 trillion which is a starting number. that's the floor. that's not the ceiling. joe manchin didn't build this house. >> jesse: do the rest of the show like that, please? >> kennedy: i know it's a big turn on for a lot of people. richard, the thing i take issue with is this idea, this obsession with things like high speed rail because other countries have it? do you know what other countries have? they have unfunded debt that they can't pay off. and then they enter into areas of austerity and they have to cut social spending and ends up hurting the people that they claim they are going to help. to dagen's point when you raise the corporate tax rate, when you raise the tax rate for the top income earners, you disincentivize economic growth. and when you do that, you have less capital, that means fewer businesses can invest in the economy. and that means fewer people are going to get jobs. so, when you contract the economy by overspending, with no way of paying for it you know who gets hurt the most? the people you purportedly are trying to help with massive pieces of social legislation like this and this is a bill, this legislation, series of programs that can never be unrung. so if we enter into another pandemic or war, or if there is an act of terrorism that we can't respond to, because we don't have any more economic flexibility? what are the progressives going to do about that? >> richard: i think it's worth pointing out. >> kennedy: do you want to build high speed rail like china uyghurs come over here and concentration camps and build high speed rail? >> richard: allow me to respond. earlier this week jerome powell federal chairman sat down with other federal chairmans around europe and talking about inflation. what he said have clearly the world is in inflation is supply chain problem bottlenecks at many of our ports in the united states this transportation bill the 1.5 trillion will spend well needed money to update ports including the ports in miami virginia beach here in new york city. updating the ports. [talking at the same time] >> richard: talking about how we move goods and services all across the country. >> dagen: powell want to keep his job in february he is going to parrot everything coming out of the white house. richard richard but it's also european bank, central bank leaders. global central bank leaders and you are saying they are all wrong?

>> richard: i think that's a very loaded question. let's actually have a conversation around how we make policing better in country, right? that's where we are trying to start with in table. >> dan: i agree. >> richard: we saw democrats and republicans try to come together and get the better policing act done. had black lives matter at the table and making progress. wasn'tly we know those otalks fell apart. police union came out and felt the talks were very productive. these bills are going to give us more money' and give us the ability to reform our police department. they were going to give us the ability to create a universal standard on how we do policing around the country, unfortunately tim scott walked away from that and that's really sad because we could have actually gotten something done for this country that would make crime go down and also make people trust police more because the problem we have in black communities to your point don. >> dan: dan. >> richard: my bad. i'm sorry. >> the problem we have break down in trust and break down in communication between police in communities of color so, yes. community of colors want police to be there to stop crime they don't trust police at 90 and find way to bridge that divide. this bill was a step in the right direction to do it. >> jesse: richard, you wanted to have a conversation about improving policing. we did have that conversation last year and you guys decided to dedepend the police. >> no we didn't. >> jesse: that's what they did in austin, texas. they defunded the police to the tune of. >> richard: let me be clear. >> jesse: $150 million was slashed out of the police budget. biggest defunding of any city in the country. they are short 400 officers. that's why there is a crime surge. that's why they have 60 murders so far in austin. that's why it's a 60 year high in austin, texas. that's why last year a 911 call averaged seven minutes and this year it averages 9 minutes. a lot can happen in two minutes. you should know that. so when you talk about oh, you are not going to do anything except defund the police and when you have your house broken into they steal the safe and they jack your car you are going to call someone? who is coming? a guy like you in a suit going to come and write something down. what else did they take? make people feel safe, richard, don't you want to feel safe? i want you to feel safe. >> richard: to be clear i'm not for defunding police i'm for defunding bad police officers. >> kennedy: i don't disagree with that make it easier to get rid of the bad cops who are oftentimes protected by police unions. 9% ever the police officers out there who wear the badge and do the job, they are good people who want to protect citizens and make life better. they want to apprehend bad guys and do a good job. the bad ones give the good ones a really bad name and that is one of the issues that i have and i think that's a conversation we can have in terms of criminal justice reform. this is breaking news, dan. texas has voted to. >> jesse: don. >> kennedy: kick austin out of the state. no longer part of texas. >> jesse: who do we give austin to mexico?
