traditional infrastructure bill which includes roads and bridges only. we don t have a time frame on it. this is just about delivering and making sure that we deliver both bills to the american people because it meets their needs. reporter: but there are many moderates over in the house including new jersey congressman josh gottheimer, he actually scolded the democratic leader, house speaker nancy pelosi. he put out a statement on friday. i want to read it in part. he said it s deeply regret with bl that speaker pelosi breached her firm public commitment to members of congress and the american people to hold a vote and to pass the once in a century bipartisan infrastructure bill on or before september 27th. jon, progressives like senator bernie sanders and congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez are praising the president for welcoming them into the mix along with moderates. listen. i think that president biden has been a good faith partner to
against it. we re a party that wants to grow the economy, the democrats are a party that wants to grow the government. this is not a wish list, this is what the working families of this country want and what the economy needs. the build back better agenda has become the biden build back broke agenda. and the american people have figured out that what they re trying to do is institutionalize socialism. jon: jonah goldberg, editor-in-chief of the dispatch and if also a fox news contributor. you have kind of taken a look at a what s going on in washington, jonah. you say the progressives in the democrat party are actually winning this fight. they re certainly winning in terms of taking over what the democratic party stands for. and they re winning in the sense that they have rolled a president who was elected to be a moderate, a centrist, a return to normalcy, he basically only
coming up, who the democratic party is [inaudible] to get president biden s spending bills passed. plus, new poll numbers show biden is tanking in his efforts on the border. jonah goldberg joins us next to discuss. my name is lauren green, and i have been with fox news channel for 25 years. it is the way i understood the world, it s the way i understood people, and so when i became a journalist, it was like i was translating from one language to another. from music to the written word. i am the only pull-time religion correspondent in network television. and i owe that to fox. music has such a depth in the
