that will pass the house and the senate. she concludes with, thank you all with your constant and informative, and occasionally humorous message. and always, for your leader. for the people. discussions continue, i think is the money quote there. but we are still waiting to see what is going to happen tonight. that is going to do it tonight for us tonight, we will see you again some other time, now it s time for the last world with lawrence o donnell. good evening rachel i m just flipping through a script i wrote about an hour ago, to see if i want to use any of the. in this few minutes. so the pelosi letter is interesting because it doesn t say anything as these letters normally do, and so here is what we are going to do, and you can go home now and sleep in a real bed, or you can fall asleep in your office, and come back at 2 am. so luckily we have the house budget committee john yarmouth, and he knows as much as any general does what is going to happen as anyone will. we
Opposed to the democratic s passing the president biden s package, now is it about the definition of the budget, or is he actually opposed to them passing other reconciliation bills that include most of the presidents economic priorities? he actually said today, that he was. meaning that he started off saying i didn t think we needed this at all. zero. and so from the perspective of thinking that we needed zero. and that all we need was the bipartisan infrastructure bill, he sat down with some schumer, and said that i think we need zero but this is what i am willing to do if you guys actually do it this way, i will go from zero to 1.5. so he would argue that i went from zero to 1.5, bernie sanders saying that i went from six to 3.5. and so here we are tonight. i will say at some point you and i are going to sell each

Trying to improve a society. is this negotiation, at this point, basically virtually all the democrats in the house, the 48 democrats in the senate, and one democratic president, and one democratic vice president, all negotiating in across the table from two democratic senators, which are sinema and manchin? well of course that s right you were in the senate, you understand that the rules of the senate which are bizarre but they are what they are. and that is what we are doing. and the fact that one or two members of the senate could basically determine, or hold hostage, the policies that the country can hold are pretty astounding. but we can talk about the
