Election playbook, the leader here in this president ial elections here in france has been hit by a massive cyber
attack. Thousands of emails and documents seized have the computers of campaign safer of emmanuel macron, they were posted online. While moist of the material is kind of mundane, it is combined according to authorities today, with fake news items m
this process has gotten more partisan in the house but the bones of that bipartisan infrastructure bill are still exactly what they were when they passed the senate so there could be a handful of republicans here who do come over and vote with democrats. what this is is hours and hours later from this morning when we thought today would be the day, it does seem at this point like it will be, ali. you an hour ago were talking to rachel and said you both were discussing the fact that nancy pelosi doesn t put votes to the floor that she doesn t know she s going to win. exactly. what is the promise that the moderates who were concerned about the larger bill, what is the undertaking that they ve given, that if this bill costs out the way we ve been told it will, we will support it? reporter: yes and also say at the end of that statement they will work to resolve any issues that may come up if they see that score and it doesn t exactly track with where they think it is. for a lot of th
talking about this being a job creation bill. we have 11 million jobs unfilled out there in the economy and we don t have the labor force to attack those. are we so worried about creating new jobs on top of those? it s not a big concern. the inflation part is. another concern obviously, brandon, are the taxes and all of the different tax gimmicks that they come up with. what do you think of the latest ones that apparently they say will mean that this bill cost nothing and has zero costs to the american public? i think it s absolutely ridiculous. it s fantasy land math to say that it cost nothing. when you like at irs expenditure, $400 billion in additional tax revenue, cbo, the congressional budget office said it s ridiculous. they said it s $200 billion. so they re doubling the amount of expected revenue here. they re making up numbers. all manchin is asking for, give him credit, to actually see how much these provisions cost. let s see what the bill costs
consequential without thoroughly understanding the impact that it will have on our national debt, our economy, and most importantly, all of our american people. reporter: in english, what it seems like he wants is he wants an official score of how much this bill costs and how it is going to be paid for before he s willing to vote on anything that would come through the congressional budget office. but the cbo can t score this legislation until all the legislative text is done, but that is expected to happen. they are expected to get a cbo score, so, you know, big picture here is this press conference came after a weekend of negotiations to finalize this legislation when they are getting much closer to it. progressives huddled in a virtual meeting yesterday coming away from that meeting. sources tell me they re not going to get a public commitment from senator manchin and senator
and it seems very important to be factual about how much money we re going to spend. so, when you look at this, are you okay with people saying a bill costs whatever number they are going to put out, 1.5, 2 trillion. when to get there, they are assuming really important things like, say, the child tax credit are simply going to, poof, go away in three years. when by the way, we know they are not going away. i think we need to be honest with the american people about what things are and how much they cost. i do. i have always believed in transparency. and i think that s what we were lacking under donald trump, honestly. the republicans added more and more debt than the pandemic came and together democrats and republicans decided we better do something. we have to help the people of this country. that was done repeatedly on a bipartisan basis. um, so i think honesty is important. what really bothers me, fiscally right now is that our republican colleagues won t even stand by the full f
