the meeting comes as house speaker nancy pelosi sets october 31st as another new deadline for the house to pass the smaller, $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill. that is the one that focuses on bridges and roads and such. that deadline also marks when the 30-day reauthorization of the federal highway program expires. pelosi wrote in a letter to her colleagues that the bipartisan framework must be passed well before that date to save people's jobs. the decision to delay the vote has already angered moderates in the party who wanted to pass the bipartisan bill on its own last week. however, progressives, which is a much bigger group of democrats all but ensured the vote would fail unless the $3.5 trillion package democrats are seeking to push through budget reconciliation could be passed at the same time. one of the so-called moderate democratic holdouts arizona senator kyrsten sinema issued this scathing statement calling their efforts quote an ineffective stunt to gain leverage over a deceptive proposal. president biden is caught in the middle of this one. he is voicing his support for passing both bills which is delivering a bit of a blow to the party's moderate wing. here is "saturday night live's" take on the position biden finds himself in. >> let's go through this agenda together because we're going to realize, hey. we're all on the same page. we're all saying the same thing. >> that's right. i'm saying we need at least $300 billion in clean energy tax credits. >> and i'm saying stowe. >> see? same thing. >> jokes aside, tensions do appear to be cooling as both sides signal potential openness to compromising on the larger spending package but that is where things start to get tricky. as "the washington post" puts it, the choices are stark. should tackling rising rates of homelessness be dropped in favor of confronting climate change? should democrats prioritize seniors over the poor? is it more important to reduce the cost of child care? or the cost of school lunches? rather than focus on a top line number we are finally starting to focus on how these specific programs could benefit the country in a real way. as democrats head back into the negotiating room these are the types of questions they should be asking and carefully considering. and that is why this whole process isn't going to be easy because real governing unlike what we've watched for the last four years is difficult. hopefully it'll get done right and be worth it. joining me now is the democratic senator mays hirono of hawaii serving on both the senate judiciary and armed services committee. aloha. always a pleasure to see you. let me ask you about something unrelated to this particular battle and that is the issue about the abortion rights in texas. we have reporting that your colleague susan collins, senator of maine, is working with another republican and a couple democrats to come up with a law that actually legalizes abortion. according to yahoo news susan collins called the texas abortion law inhumane and said she is working on a bipartisan bill to make roe v. wade the law of the land. i have to ask you whether you have heard of this and what you know about it. >> i just heard about it now. and i'm glad. i would love to codify roe v. wade and in fact the house already passed a bill that would do that. it is great that susan is doing this. i am not one of the democrats she is working with. on the other hand, we all know that it's been the republicans who have been wanting to get rid of abortion rights forever. so susan is going to need to quite a few republicans to support this. >> but she is not going to have a struggle obviously with democrats on this? looks like senator hirono is speechless for the moment. we have a problem with her video. we'll fix it up and come back to her in a moment. joining me now is my next guest, former house manager you'll remember for the ex-president's second impeachment trial. representative, good to see you. i want to ask you the same question. there is some news that susan collins who when she was busy confirming conservative justices to the supreme court said roe v. wade is under no threat whatsoever. turns out she was wrong. maybe this is her penance where she is doing some active work. >> she was wrong on a lot of things wasn't she? >> she was. it is intriguing that she may be leading some sort of effort. i assume she'll have no problem getting democratic support across the board on this one but as senator hirono said can she get republican support. >> sure. we've already passed legislation codifying roe v. wade in the house almost two weeks ago, work that had been done on the house side, judy chu of california, so many women. the women's caucus has been working on this for quite a number of years. and so we're happy if susan collins would be very interested in cosponsoring the companion bill that's already passed the house and get that across to work on her republican members to try and get republican senators to get that passed. >> this of course brings up the conversation about the filibuster. we're not sure susan collins can get nine republicans. she may get two maybe. who knows? so this becomes one of those things like voting rights. a lot of people including some of your colleagues who have said, you don't want to get rid of the filibuster fine but can you get rid of it for things that are human rights and voting issues sf. >> exactly. that is something jim clyburn talked about months ago was that if we want to carve out anything out of this filibuster we need to do it for civil rights, for human rights issues. roe v. wade, voting rights. in many respects one might even say the ability for safety from police might be a human right. that being some element of the george floyd justice in policing if you really want to stretch the constitutional definition of what human rights are. but listen. kevin mccarthy is sitting in the house praying that things like this don't happen. and mitch mcconnell had no compunction about the filibuster as well. it has been carved out for some issues. it should be carved out for this as well. >> when you say including the george floyd justice in policing i have zero issue with the idea of not being killed unjustifiably by police in america should be a human rights issue. that is not complicated. >> that's what i would think. you know, individuals who don't agree with that, they should -- we should take away their american card on that one. >> representative, always good to see you democratic representative of the u.s. virgin islands. back with me is democratic senator mazie hirono of hawaii. we had technical issues. i'm glad to have you back here. the idea that susan collins might get lisa murkowski and maybe one more republican, a lot of democrats, probably all of the democrats, as you said in the house there is lots of support for this. this becomes the same discussion we've had for a long time about this filibuster and where it stands in the way of basic human rights for americans this might be yet another opportunity to say hey. you can keep your filibuster if you really like it but not for things like this that are actually about human rights and women's reproductive health. >> i agree completely. this is yet another example. i am glad susan is trying to do what she is doing but it won't happen without getting rid of the filibuster, in my view. so there we are. and the voting rights bill, so many bills that are stuck because -- >> i want to ask you about the spending bill. we have another technical problem. i apologize. there we go. i see her back. okay. i'm sorry. this is the covid world we're in where we do things remotely and the internet is a little taxed. >> yes. >> let me ask you about the infrastructure bill and the larger bill. i am a little concerned and i think everybody has sort of come around to the idea when you talk about 1.5 trillion and 3.5 trillion and 2.5 trillion stuff gets lost in the negotiation about numbers. we both like numbers but now we have to be saying what is in the bill? what are we prepared to lose to get to the number that say joe manchin who says it is 1.5 or joe biden whose bill it is who says moderates are going to have to give stuff up. i think the discussion entirely has to be around what you want in the bill and what it will give people if you put it in. >> exactly. i've opinion calling for quite a while now -- i've been calling for quite a while now -- so that we can focus on the amount of money will go into these program areas and note that this whole program is a ten-year plan. so there is flexibility as to how long the money will go. i tell you, ali, we just need to focus on what the president mentioned when he met with the democrats yesterday, the areas we can support and get down to negotiating the amount. >> that's right. thanks for joining us this morning. senator hirono of hawaii. aloha to you. still a lot more to come on this sunday morning edition of "velshi" the results of the first extensive audit of america's national monuments are in. they are bound to surprise you and will help you answer the question what do martin luther king jr. and mermaids have in common? also the fascinating story of the first all black team to scale mount everest. plus diving into how immigration affects their lives. here is dr. daniel carlos hughes' message to the biden administration about how to handle the migrants once they cross the border. >> president biden, what i would say is please, please do not break apart families that cross the border, number one. keep the families together. also educate. the border is a big area, a very long area. just educate people about what the border really is like. t what the border really is like. on august 15th afghanistan fell to the taliban and thousands of afghans fled the country. republicans spent the following weeks ripping the biden administration for abandoning our afghan allies, interpreters, soldiers, innocent civilians. in that time, tens of thousands of afghans actually did make it to the united states as refugees. this week all of these republicans, every last one of them in the senate, voted to curtail benefits for the afghan refugees. the amendment cutting those benefits which would have been added to the spending bill that is being negotiated on capitol hill was ever so narrowly defeated by democrats but it would have cut off housing, medical, food, and other aid for resettled afghans by 2023. right now there are about 53,000 afghans living on military bases in the united states who need to be resettled and integrated into american society. aid and resettlement agencies are doing their best but the sudden evacuation from afghanistan has put a strain on the process. many refugees escaped and arrived with insufficient documentation only the belongings they could carry with them and in many cases they are alone with members of their families facing a fraught and uncertain fate in a taliban run afghanistan. or families that fled to whatever countries they could get into or families that are dead. these afghans are starting completely new lives from scratch in a country that is literally as foreign to them as can be. there is a language barrier. they need to find jobs. their skills probably don't translate well to the american work force whether they were a janitor or a brain surgeon in afghanistan they'll probably earn something close to minimum wage at a bottom of the barrel job probably with no benefits. such is the lot of a refugee. the federal government does provide resettlement agencies with a one-time payment of 2,275 dollars for each afghan they serve. money that goes toward housing and basic necessities. some of the refugees those with special immigrant visas are eligible for other benefits but the 2275 is it. after that they're on their own. can you imagine? all of that compounded with the reality you may never return to your home country or see your family again? it is unfathomable. what is also unfathomable is like so many refugees to this country these afghan refugees are happy to be here. they are hopeful. they are grateful to be in america. two local news outlets in wisconsin interviewed some refugees staying at fort mccoy u.s. army base. here is what they said. i still can't believe i'm here. i am very happy to be here and i think i'll have a very bright future. i'm so happy i come to america. i'm pretty sure i'll have a good future for my family. when i was a kid i would say i waned to go to america but i never thought my dream would come true. i love this country. these people have been thrown into incredibly daunting situations. they've lost everything yet they are grateful to be in this land of opportunity. thankful to have a shot at the american dream. i don't know about you but these are the types of people i want living and working if my country. they're here and ready to participate in what they believe to be the liberties that exist in america. the opposite of what their beloved homeland now faces. these people remember what some of us have forgotten about the promise that is america. immigrants and refugees remind us that at its best america is a place where if you work hard and get a fair stab at education you can grow a business, get elected to public office, become anything you want to be. these afghans will be better off by being if america and america will be better off for them. ca♪ >> tech vo: this couple counts on their suv... as they travel for their small business. so when they got a chip in their windshield... they brought it to safelite... for a same-day in-shop repair. we repaired the chip right away. and with their insurance, it was no cost to them. >> woman: really?

♪ ♪ statutes and monuments have become such a cultural flash point in recent years that the mellon foundation took it upon itself to perform a national monument audit the first extensive accounting of the country's, quote, commemorative landscape. they documented more than 48,000 monuments in the country and reports novelty findings like the fact that america has 22 statues of mer maids but only two of u.s. congresswomen. other findings show how certain demographic groups and events get left out in the telling of the american story. the list of the top 50 individuals of whom the most monuments are dedicated contains 47 men, three women. on that top 50 list only five are people of color. there are no latinx people. no asians. no lgbtq figures. plus half of the top 50 were enslavers. many monument commemorate battles, wars, other violent events. the monuments aren't permanent. many have come and gone as we've seen recently with the removal of several confederate statues. history is constantly re-evaluated and the same must be done for the monuments. the definition of the audit includes statues, memorials, and pyramids and could include people as well. stay with me on this one. last summer the poet caroline randall williams wrote, "you want a confederate monument? my body as confederate monument." she wrote, quote, i am a black, southern woman and my immediate white male ancestors all of them were rapists. my very existence is a relic of slavery and jim crow. i was very moved by that at the time. caroline randall williams joins me now. she is an award winning poet. i've just learned this morning you were also a cookbook author. but i'm glad to have you back on the show. this is interesting. we've been talking about monuments for a long time. now we have this audit and it underscores exactly what we knew that we honor men mostly, we honor victors, war heroes, and our monuments are not reflective of people in america. your argument you wrote last year still stands. you are a commemoration or a monument of a racist legacy and our civil war. >> that's right. i think that obviously the information comes as no surprise. i will say one of my surprises even for a cynic like me it was astonishing to discover that the martin luther king statue that was erected in 2011 was the first monument to a black person in the heart of washington, d.c. it's kind of extraordinary to me. i think these conversations are late. i think that statue is erected late. i'm excited that we're having the conversations now. i will also say that i think all of these confederate monuments i wrote the piece because i am related to confederates. i see those statues and see something of myself but not the part that celebrates what is resilient and trans endent and historic about me. i see the part that is brutal and complicated and shameful and i think we need to reorient that. >> let's talk about that for a second. we can't erase the brutal and complicated and bad parts of our history. how do we address that well? obviously, you know, some of the people you've been on my show with have written about this even in the 1619 project. i was in san antonio this week talking to latinx people who say why don't you tell the actual story of our time in this country? the issue is, monuments. we put up monuments that seem to celebrate certain things and we bury some of the other stuff. >> yes. i think people want to put up monuments as badges of honor after duress. they're almost like an honorable scar to some people somehow. but i think that what we really need to do moving forward is figure out how to put them in context because they only tell one side of the story. i'm not trying to tell anyone we're trying to erase their history but if we're going to put their history on display then we have to look at both sides of it and examine it and not be so afraid that if we say all of what america has been we can't love it anymore. that is a weak kind of love to me. my love for america has enough backbone to drag the past into the light and put a spo light on what actually has happened so we can figure out how to move forward honestly and constructively and with a sense of repair. >> so what does marking our complicated history in context look like to you? does that look like some monuments coming down, others going up? ways in which we celebrate or mark our history that are more sophisticated and complicated than the stone statues? >> i am tempted to be glib and say yes. i think all of the above is accurate. some of them need to come down or go into some kind of national museum of american crimes against humanity frankly and probably those monuments need to go there where we can see them and note the harm they've done and children need to go to school and learn about the history of how monuments are used as weapons of oppression when they are used irresponsibly. or to commemorate evil. there need to be plaques and monuments complementary or constructive monuments that go alongside the complicated ones that show the people that those, that were oppressed by the people memorialized so we can remember the failures as well as the accomplishments of people like thomas jefferson and george washington. >> a great way to look at it, thank you. you've made us all so much smarter about this. thanks for the great piece you wrote. caroline randall williams a descendent of william pettis. the first year the feat of reaching mount everest was 1953. the first all black team trying to reach the mountain's legendary peak. you won't want to miss this. -we are here! -for new homeowners, a football game can really bring out the parent in them. it's smart we parked near the exit. -absolutely. -there you go. that way, [whistles] let's put away the parking talk, maybe, for a minute. parking is where the money is, though. can you imagine what this place pulls in on parking alone? alright, no more talking about parking lots. a lot of these are compact spots. it's not pretty. progressive can't protect you from becoming your parents, but we can protect your home and auto when you bundle with us. we still planning to head out around the third quarter? let's not talk about leaving before we're actually at the game. i've been giving you a lot of grim stuff today so now for a bit of uplifting news nearly 6,000 people have successfully reached the summit of mount everest and now an all black climbing team hopes to be added to the list. it as task they say is challenging but achievable. >> reporter: many have had the dream but few have had the courage to reach the peak of mount everest. >> mount everest is hard. >> reporter: philip henderson is determined to be part of the elite group the colorado climbing instructor is part of an expedition called full circle evitts. the group now out to shift perceptions of what a mountain climber can look like. since they first reached the peak in 1953 just over 6,000 climbers have reached ev rest's peak. >> i realized there was a lack of representation in the outdoors and so few of us that we're kind of obligated in a sense and bound that we should be kind of bringing everything that we've learned and we know and come full circle and kind of reach and pull someone forward. >> reporter: the nine climbers hail from all walks of life and from all across the country. a high school chemistry teacher from colorado. an iraq war veteran from new york. all of them bound by a common goal to conquer the world's tallest peak and to change a few attitudes along the way. >> just because it is a group of black people doing it doesn't mean we aren't necessarily unskilled or we don't belong there and so i think just showing we belong there on the mountain and is motivation enough. >> if successful the expedition will be the first entirely black and brown team to summit everest. >> hopefully we help folks realize it is challenging but possible and accessible to all. >> reporter: the group has already met its fundraising goal. crowd sourcing more than $50,000 to secure permits for their climb next spring. >> certainly what inspires me is all of the people out there who are supporting us. >> reporter: now all that is left the daunting task of preparing for one of the world's most challenging physical feats. what is your advice to your fellow climbers and your team when it gets really cold up there? >> when it gets cold, put on some clothes. make sure you stay warm. you know? don't let yourself get cold. just keep putting one foot in front of the other. stay motivated to keep moving forward. >> thanks for that report. meanwhile infrastructure negotiations are front and center in washington right now. joining me is my friend jonathan capehart host of msnbc's "the sunday show" getting to introduce him for the second time this week. we were on friday night together. this morning we've been discussing infrastructure. you'll be continuing that conversation in about 20 minutes. >> yes. good morning. we will continue that conversation with the chairwoman of the congressional progressive caucus and see what she has to say this morning about where negotiations stand within her own party and if we're getting closer to the president's build back better plan being passed. i'll also be talking to former republican and george w. bush political strategist matthew dowd who is running for lieutenant governor in texas as a democrat and for hispanic heritage month my one-on-one with a key individual heralding what will be a national capsule of the history contributions and milestones of hispanics in the united states through the upcoming museum of the african -- sorry. what a mistake. museum of the american latino. all this and more coming up on "the sunday show." hope you'll be watching. >> yeah. a mistake. we actually are in a world in which we're thinking about museums and ways -- i just had this conversation with caroline williams randall about the fact we need more history about the rest of this history in this country that has been white washed and eliminated. i know where your mind was to make that mistake. it makes a lot of sense. we are now finally learning and celebrating the way we should be. whether latinx people or african-americans. a long time coming. good to see you as always. looking forward to the show. be sure to catch "the sunday show" right after "velshi" at 10:00 a.m. eastern. up neck the conclusion of my conversation. i love this conversation so much. the conclusion of my conversation marking hispanic heritage month with members of the san antonio latinx community about the importance of opportunity. do i need to pretreat my laundry? nope! with tide pods, you don't need to worry. the pre-treaters are built in. tide pods dissolve even when the water is freezing. nice! if it's got to be clean, it's got to be tide. want your clothes to smell freshly washed all day without heavy perfumes? try new downy light in-wash scent beads. it has long-lasting light scent, no heavy perfumes, and no dyes. finally, a light scent that lasts all day. new downy light! as we continue to celebrate national hispanic heritage month i want to continue my conversation earlier this week. immigration is always a hot button issue. i asked them to talk about how they view the immigration process and what they believe it can do for the country. >> the frustrating thing for me just as an individual is that we know based on the history of our country that immigrants and people who moved to this country make us successful. and so my big frustration right now with this administration but more importantly with the past administration is we know that in particular in san antonio if it wasn't for immigrants, if it wasn't for mexicans coming across the border, we wouldn't be the successful city and state that we are. i also think there is a sort of focus on not being interested in working. and these folks will come in and do this work and make a commitment because they only want a successful life for their family and their kids. it is just to me been devastating seeing all of these migrants in del rio being shipped back to their own countries when they are the work force we need. they are the sort of opportunity woe need to become a successful city, state, and country. >> you see the shortages. with covid-19 we've had an upsurge. we're swamped not only from -- we started, i co-founded this firm years ago over 20 years ago now a pretty large organization and we deal with different aspects of it. i've done all the different fields. now i specialize in the business and corporate immigration. part of what i see is from very small restaurants to large -- i had a call yesterday with someone who needed 50 restaurant workers because of covid-19. they used to have the flu. they used to have people working. they can't find workers. this goes again to i think access and not only access of information in a culturally sensitive or understandable way because i might understand it in a certain way, somebody that is fleeing a country may need it communicated a different way. i think access to that information is important and i see that with the immigrant community. it is so diverse as well. >> i don't want to pick on previous administration but i do in fact i think we ought to call rooster donald. one thing i would remine everybody is that everybody is an immigrant. the only people that aren't are the native americans. they didn't come out too good. if you look at the history of this country as mr. hinojosa was saying the country is what it is and the best country people want to live in because we had these waves of immigration. the irish, italian, chinese. i'm with him. we do have problems but they're not new problems. >> the dreamers issue i have a god son who came to this country with his mother and his father. he is a year old. nothing of his fault. he has been very productive. went to middle school, high school here. went to college. graduated college. holds down a really good i.t. job here in san antonio. is married. has children. productive. has a home. being a very productive member of our society. i think from that perspective those cases in my perspective, that is a no brainer. they didn't come on their own. this is something that was put on them. and for those that are really making good strides and being productive why would we hold them back? doesn't make sense to me. >> when i first got here and met ruth the first thing i asked her when she said she was an immigration attorney i said i need your card because i need to sponsor some workers. i need to figure out how to do that. and so as a business owner that is the number one thing i'm always thinking of what can we do to get more work force because there is a huge shortage. what is happening is the cost is going up because of it. we need to figure out a way for immigration reform to happen the right way. correctly to protect these families. to give them an opportunity. but to get them in the community where they're paying taxes like everybody else. and they want to. so the way they're being treated as they're a bad word, we don't want them here, that is something that falls really deep in my heart because i think it is just not right. these are real human beings, people just like us. they go home with our families the same way and so why are we saying it's a bad thing? i think there is work to be done and i know that there's organizations, national firms that are working to try to create that bridge to figure out how do we get them connected and jobs right away so that we can say there's a hundred jobs open. bring in a hundred folks. let's get them in place, right? that disconnect is not happening. >> it is a disconnect because there are jobs. >> yes. >> on the immigration perspective from a public safety perspective i look more on the immediate term. so absolutely understand that people want to come and live the american dream as my ancestors did as well. i do think we have to be cautious in how we do that. there has to be more thought in how we're managing that situation. so we do know there are many people coming across whether they're coming through with the cartels pushing them through and for trafficking happening there has to be more thought into how we are keeping track of somebody once they come in. >> my thanks to all six of those folks from san antonio for helping me understand the latino situation. disinformation on the internet has affected everything from our politics to our health. coming up next how one popular site is hitting back and taking action and why some say it is too little too late. how much money can liberty mutual save you?

>> so youtube did this thing that wasn't really expected and expanded their already covid-19 vaccine misinformation ban to include all anti-vaccination misinformation. that is a huge job, because as you noted, anti-vaxers have spent over a decade building up on these platforms when traditional media would no longer host their nonsense and shenanigans, they went to social media. they placed ads, they made content, they got really good at getting big audiences. so they've grown really, really strong networks there. now, apparently, youtube says they're no longer welcome. facebook banned them in february of this year. and is doing not so great of a job enforcing that ban. so we really have yet to see how youtube will do this, whether they'll be successful. it's not looking good, though. >> you tweeted on september 19th, the question now, as always is, will youtube enforce their new policy. will anti-vaxers, a savvy, financially motivated opportunity bunch, get the better of the platforms again. because they seem to bob and weave pretty quickly and effectively and the platforms seem to take a long time to either figure it out or more likely fix it. >> yeah, these people are really, really good at social media. they're very good at internetting. because they've been doing it a long time. so when facebook says or youtube says, we're no longer going to allow anti-vaccination misinformation, all the anti-vaxers on facebook say, now we'll spell vaccine with a 3 instead of an "e" at the end or put the text backward or call it swimming instead of vaccination. and how do you moderate a problem like that. and the answer is, very, very hard with their current content moderators. these platforms need teams of very, very dedicated people who understand the way of anti-vax propaganda flows through their platforms. and experts that i talked to say because it's an across-platform problem, they really need some sort of plan. because what's going to happen now that youtube is banning all anti-vaccination misinformation, these people will go to smaller platforms and then they're going to cross-post their things there on to the bigger problems and get around or circumnavigate the enforcement that way. they're a very clever bunch and will try to evade this. >> you and i share a view that all social media is not bad. it serves some very useful purposes, was it took no genius to figure out that some stuff on instagram can be toxic to teen girls. tell me a bit about this and whether there's anything to be done about it. >> yeah. well, this internal report that came from a whistle-blower that we're going to hear from on "60 minutes" tonight and at a congressional hearing this week said that there is internal research that showed that young teen girls who are on instagram feel bad about themselves, their mental health deteriorates, mostly because they're comparing themselves to others. now, i'm a child of the 80s. i remember we were having these same conversation about women's magazines, right? the difference here is that facebook is a $1 trillion company. and if they know from internal research that this is making, you know, their young audience, their young users feel bad about themselves, maybe even want to hurt themselves, then they have supposedly the money and the brains to maybe do something ain't. but "the wall street journal" reporting showed that when faced with that sort of choice, when faced with this research, what they do instead is think of a product like facebook kids, which it might sound -- or instagram kids. which might sound good on its face. parental controls, yes, all of that. but these internal documents showed this was more of a marketing idea. how did they get their teeth into young users, whom they're losing to snapchat and to tiktok. we have to remember, in all of this, this is a business. >> brandy, good to see you. i thought about talking about this trump twitter thing, but my head would just explode. so we'll leave this to another time. brandy zadrozny, my old friend, nice to see you. nbc senior recorder, brandy zadrozny. before we go, i want to give a shout-out to one of our esteemed team members. it's lauren's birthday. she's done a great job with us. lauren, happy birthday. be sure to make it a good one. i'm no psychic, but i foresee a bottomless brunch in your future and maybe some tacos. that does it for me. thanks for joining me. have a great morning. don't grab your crossward puzzles just yet, because "the sunday show with jonathan capehart" which probably will give you some clues starts right now. it's sunday, october 3rd. i'm jonathan capehart. this is "the sunday show." . this sunday, it's all about capitol hill. the bipartisan infrastructure bill that was supposed to get a vote in the house this week didn't. negotiations over the build back better act, aka, the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill, didn't go anywhere either. that is, until president biden went to the capitol on friday to meet with house democrats. now $3.5 trillion doesn't appear to be the magic number anymore. just listen to congresswoman pramila jayapal, the hard-bargaining chair of the progressive caucus after the meeting with the president. >> we need to get this reconciliation bill and it's going to be tough. we're going to have to come down in our number and do that work. so we're going to get to work and see what we can get to. >> and in a renewed request to get her house democratic caucus behind the goal of passing both bills, speaker nancy pelosi laid out the case in a "dear
