Where are you on the filibuster and what do you think the president should do when it comes to the filibuster? look, i think what the republicans have done is shameful. to say that we can t even debate a bill about protecting the vote in america. we can t even debate a bill that would end gerrymandering. we can t even debate a bill that would at least push back against dark money. i think what they re doing is wrong and as i say, shameful. but i ve long been in favor of getting rid of the filibuster. and i think that the need to protect the vote is like the sharpest example of why we need to get rid of the filibuster. we need to get rid of it here, because this is our democracy that hangs in the balance. every american citizen has a right to vote and to get that vote counted. gerrymandering takes away the power of the vote. we need to get rid of it and we need to push back against the ....
Now what s going to happen in the election, it appears to me that democrats are going to lose because they haven t effectively fought back against what is the core issue in the election which is the threat to democracy and the threat to extremists. look, if you re going to spend $3.5 trillion, $2 trillion, you have to be able to articulate at a macro level the massive spending and a once in a generation accomplishment you hope to bring with it. they ve just fallen short and we re coming up on the year to the election hour and it s not looking great for them. so, yumish, to steve s point, he says he can t tell you what s in the bill. the graphic i put up says what s likely in the bill and what s likely not in the bill simply because we don t there s no bill. there s no actual bill. can you bring us up to speed on ....
Get something done for joe biden and to keep their majorities, to have a prayer keeping the house majority next year, jonathan. on the other hand, i m nervous. climate change legislation, what is that? we know they got rid of the electric grid modernization. what are the climate change provisions? are they serious enough to meet those challenges that we have? so that s one thing. i think it s also unfortunate that there s a huge public support for tax increases, both on the very wealthy and on corporations, on corporations paying their fair share of taxes and i m not sure what s going to wind up in the bill thanks to senator sinema who doesn t seem to like taxes on corporations. so i still have worries. ....
Men? i would tell them are they here for democrats or there for themselves? i think manchin is there for himself. look, we need this win. if we don t, we could lose all power and i think that s the key. right now democrats need to stay in power if we going to see change. so give him whatever he wants. i m sure there s something else he wants and we ll approve this, but right now he needs to get on board. progressives need to get on board. so, aunt gloria, do you care about the price tag or do you care about what s actually in the bill or do you just flat out no matter the provisions, no matter the price tag, just get something done to give the president a win? i think we need something to give the president a win and i truly believe the price tag ....
Clear that this is the biden agenda. the public embraces it. president biden ran on this agenda. this is an economic agenda that s going to create good paying jobs. it s going to address our climate crisis. it s going to address the care economy where our senior citizens will be able to stay at home, and receive health care from care givers who deserve a living wage. we re going to see a middle class tax cut with the child tax credit. reducing poverty. we re going to see housing investments and so this is a big transformational bill. and so that requires a lot of thought and a lot of negotiations and we ll get there, but no one said it was going to be easy. yeah, so you say it s not an impasse, and this is what negotiations are all about. but there is a deadline by the end of the month. so do you believe that deadline can be met? well, we re working as hard as we can, and i know our speaker is working day and ....
