is one they themselves created. speaker pelosi made a deal with moderates she would hold a vote on the president s infrastructure bill by this coming monday. the hope was that the bigger $3.5 trillion bill would be done at the same time, something progressives say has to happen so that they can both vote for both bills at the same time. but it doesn t look like that s going to happen. so that leaves democratic leaders with basically three ways to go here, they can try to pass the infrastructure bill on monday and risk angry progressives blocking it, they can delay the vote and break their promise to the moderates or they can grit their teeth and work like hell to get that reconciliation bill or something close enough to a deal to please progressives done by monday. i want to bring in monica alba at the white house, my colleague sahil kapur on capitol hill, jeff mason reuters white house correspondent and claire mccaskill who served 12 years as a democratic senator from ....
6 million jobs, wipe out $15 trillion in household wealth. nearly doubling the unemployment rate to 9%, and increase borrowing costs for all americans. it would be a catastrophe, and that s don t take it from me. let me quote mitch mcconnell when this came up during the donald trump years. mitch mcconnell said the following. he said much mcconnell stated that not supporting a debt limit suspension this is what he said. assures that congress will not throw this kind of unnecessary wrench into the gear of our job growth and thriving economy. when trump was president, they didn t want to throw a wrench, a wrench, unnecessary wrench into the gear of our job growth. today he s threatening to do just that. we are to stop holding the debt and the economy hostage. we ll do ndaa on the floor today. strengthening our security, honoring our service members, upholding our values and today we will have legislation on the security interests that we have in the middle east by putt ....
it always happens the same way. the bluster and who s there and there? at the end of the day we will be unified for the american people. in just a few moments i ll get reaction to the speaker s comments from the leader of the large progressive caucus. she met with the president on wednesday. meanwhile the fda green lighted a pfizer booster for tens of millions of americans over 65 or with high risk health issues or younger pfizer recipients with moderna or johnson & johnson wait for word on when to get their boosters. joining me now is leeann caldwell and peter alexander. first what were the big takeaways from the big conference last hour? reporter: there were a couple. some confusing and more clear. she remains confident that she s going to pull everything together, that the party in the end is going to remain united on not only this bipartisan traditional infrastructure bill, but this partisan human infrastructure bill that is far from complete. she also says that ....
walensky continues to push for the unvaccinated to get their first shots. she also said today she s not surprised that so many people are hold out because of how misinformation has actually crept in. i do think if we had community health workers in so many communities that have been vaccine hesitant now, that have been checking diabetes and checking blood pressure control and doing all of those things when it came time to vaccinate, it would have been a no-brainer, they would have easily been able to convince their communities to get vaccinated. they have been trusted health providers. so the u.s. is finally seeing a drop this cases, about 10% nationwide. that s the good news. but not in many lower vaccinated places like nebraska who are rationing care. in tennessee, officials have given one of the most effective covid treatments only to unvaccinated patients and those who are immunocompromised. we re talking about monoclonal antibodies. they ve chosen to give it to ....
