put it on the floor and vote. >> democrats are trying to coax manchin to support changes in the filibuster in order to approve voting rights. president biden and vice president harris zoomed with democratic senators on voting rights today but the double pressure campaign on manchin is back firing. reporters have hounded him for days. >> i'm not negotiating with you all. can you ask all the questions you want. let me go this is [bleep]. you are [bleep]. okay? i'm done. >> it's manchin spending, the filibuster even renewing the child tax credit. >> i went to joe and he said no, i'm not against the child tax credit. then i heard the opposite. i hope joe will consider the thousands of children in his own state that are being benefited by this tax credit. >> progressives like cori bush of missouri lashed out she said democrats were undermining their own power by, quote, placing the fate of build back better at the feet of one senator, joe manchin. manchin worries that more spending could trigger inflation. a poll by fox business revealed that four in ten people believe inflation is the country's biggest issue. the democratic base will explode if the senate fails to pass the social spending bill. but house speaker nancy pelosi cautioned that this is just the legislative process. >> i'm not going to have a postmortem on something that hasn't died. >> if the bill does die, pelosi will have forced dozens of how democrats to vote yes on a bill which was doomed to fail. bret? >> bret: just to be clear. senator manchin also a said he is for the child tax credit but wants it 10 years instead of one or two years. and wants it to fall under 1.75 trillion which he has been saying since the beginning. the senate minority leader today, chad, had his end of the year news

institution i would remind all of you president trump suggested or insisted that i lead the charge to change the filibuster rule answer no. the changing the structure of the senate in order to try to

>> the aclu is mad at the biden white house tweeting after our government deliberately abused young children by separating them from their families, today they have walked away from negotiations to help those trauma moo advertised heal. white house officials have defended cash payments to people who came here illegally. >> we took children, the president president trump took children from their parents and some children have never been returned. do we think that's okay? >> and president biden doesn't. >> if, in fact, because of the outrageous behavior the last administration, you come across the border illegally or legal and you lost your child, you lost your child, he's gone, you deserve some kind of compensation no matter what the circumstances. >> under no circumstance have these payments been considered for people who waited in line to come. >> why would we be giving people here the right way money. >> why are you giving people here the wrong way money. >> i don't understand the question. >> and president biden has never feared that settle bling illegal immigrants for six figures could be a lure. >> do you think that that might incentivize more people to come over illegally. >> if you guys keep sending that garbage out, yeah. >> justice department says today, while the parties have been unable to reach a global settlement agreement at this time, we remain committed to engaging with the plaintiff and to bringing justice to the victims of the abhorrent holy. be a policy.>> did he change hio longer think these people need. >> this is litigation. i would refer to the doj i can't speak to it from here. >> the first time i asked the president about this on an escalator in rome, he literally scratched his head. we later came back to d.c., he called the reports garbage and then officials had to clarify that the garbage part was just that the settlement amount was up to $450,000 per illegal immigrant but it seems that as of tonight, that amount is all the way down to zero. bret. >> bret: we will follow this peter, thank you. the latest numbers indicate another rise in illegal immigrant encounters along the u.s.-mexico border last month. we have new

valley yesterday, again, off of highway 281, a source tells us border patrol arrested this suspected human smuggler who had dressed up as a fake oil worker and had actually cloned an oil field truck to blend in while smuggling four illegal immigrants inside of that truck. and perhaps the most bizarre of them all, border patrol near tucson, arizona found six illegal immigrants dressed in camouflage being smuggled inside of a here's. two u.s. citizens were arrested for snuggling them. >> just this week in the rio grande valley sector. border patrol reports they have arrested multiple criminal illegal immigrants including three gang members, a rapist, a child molester and a mexican national warrant out for aggravated sexual abuse of a child. we will send it back to you. >> bret:

victim, shame on them. >> but it's not just republicans who are desperate for a national solution. >> it's not just san francisco. it's in our entire country. and that's evidenced by the appeals that we are receiving from across the country for the legislation. >> justice department says they are looking for federal level solutions to the crisis but the white house so far is leaving it to city and state leaders to fend off thieves and vandals. >> what our focus is on is making sure that the local leaders, the police officers and departments who know what they need for these communities have the assistance and the funding they need. and that's what we are working around the clock on. >> doj has already used similar federal statutes to go after parents at school board meetings and experts insist they could also use them to crack down on thieves. >> the white house has ruled oud out two new initiatives targeting 15 criminal organizations overseas and they say more action is coming. so

slate is not exact lay left leaning organization but it says why isn't anyone listening to joe? biden's delivery own proposals. that doesn't reassure at work unease, lack of fire may be costing him audience he needs to convince nostalgia for a loss and better america strangely reminisce sense of trumps. his party's hopes depend on his ability to break out. mollie, the "new york times" says he should say right now he is not running. >> well, let me just first say i would like republicans not is great the defeat of this spending package prematurely. if you remember, republicans thought they had defeated obamacare, they elected scott brown to the senate and then a few months later even though it was deeply popular package it was pushed through and democrats were able do that. they should be cautious and make sure they see this to the end. but the problems that democrats are saying about kamala harris and joe biden, obviously they are struggling in the polls. they are deeply unpopular. i don't think they are particularly unlikeable candidates. the reason why they're unpopular is a democratic party wise issue. it's the policy. yes, it's partly that we were told that joe biden would be a uniter and a moderate and he has governed as anything else but that but the entire democratic party shares his views on rolling back what was working on the border or destroying the pipeline so that our gas prices go up or putting trillions of dollars into the economy and having inflation and costs rise. all of these things aren't unique to joe biden or kamala harris. in some regard, it might even be worse when it go to outside that field and so democrats need to really be honest about why they are unpopular and it's not the personality of joe biden or kamala harris. >> bret: mark, on the ripe in side, it's a big deal that they got through covid 1.9 trillion. the biden administration led the biden infrastructure bill at almost a trillion dollars and trying to for a long time but they died it to this build back better bill and that seems like it's they may not be getting the benefits off the infrastructure bill. >> the problem with the bill they poured $1.9 trillion into a $300 billion hole in the economy and unleashed inflation and supply chain crises and a mass labor shortage so that hasn't been a net positive for them because that's what is driving down president biden's popularitying it the bipartisan infrastructure bill one he held held it up. he ask the his own party hold it up as leverage for multitrillion dollars democrats only bill and he should have had four or five things like this. this is what he promised. evidence campaigned on a promise not to bring socialism to america. he said i'm not the socialist, he said i'm going to unite the country i'm going to bring republicans and democrats together to get things done. that's what i did in the senate. all he has is bipartisan infrastructure bill. he could have done police reform on china and whole bunch of different things, that's why is he in trouble. >> bret: i'm saying come march, come april, if you see the president at a bridge building in some place swing state. it could be a different deal. when we come back, tomorrow's headlines with the panel.
