especially to everyone in the united states house of representatives because for them friday has actually just started. for most of us today we were all of us living in friday, october the 1st. however in the united states house of representatives it was still thursday. it was september. you ll recall that we spent all of yesterday waiting for a vote in the house on the bipartisan infrastructure bill. the roads and bridges bill. that vote never came and yesterday felt endless. but in the weird arcane time space continuum that governs the u.s. house it turns out that yesterday really was endless. as in, it did not end. until tonight. let me explain this to you. when lawmakers left capitol hill last night to get a few hours of sleep because their work wasn t getting done, before coming back this morning to keep working toward a deal, they did not adjourn the house like they do at the end of a workday. instead they went into a recess. which kept the house in the thursday, septem
but in the weird, arcane time space continuum that governs the u.s. house, it turns out that yesterday really was endless as in, it did not end until tonight. let me explain this to you. when lawmakers left capitol hill last night to get a few hours of sleep because their work was not getting done, before coming back this morning to keep working toward a deal, they did not adjourn the house like they do at the end of the workday. instead, they went into a recess which kept the house in the thursday september 30th legislative day even though as the earth outside its windows continue to turn on its axis into our friday october 1st, in a parallel universe, if you will. you knew nancy pelosi had many powers, but you didn t think that she could actually control time. but as extraordinarily long as that thursday was, and as it comes to an end, and as capitol hill joins the rest of us, here in the month of october, we know one thing, the vote on that roads and bridges bill that spea
deception. and after more than 13 years, britney spears is one step closer to being free of her conservatorship. hello, everyone. it is thursday, september 30th. in just a few hours time, congress will tackle the first of four critical pieces of legislation worth trillions of dollars. and once again, it s coming down to the wire. house speaker nancy pelosi plans to call a vote today on a $1.2 trillion infrastructure package even though many progressive democrats are threatening to vote against it. the white house says the president is leaving it up to pelosi on how best to proceed. take a listen. president trusts the speaker and her assessment of what her caucus needs to win this vote. our objective here is winning two votes, getting these two pieces of important legislation across the finish line because we know the impact they ll have on the american people. we know they ll lower costs for people. we know they will make a huge, be a huge down payment towards addressi
right now in the final innings. that s right, capitalizing off the mound in the dugout working with lawmakers and the phones. all to shore up support for his transformative legislation. today what should be a home run instead could be a swing and a miss. house progressives and senate democrats still can t even get on the same team for mr. biden s larger social safety net plan, which means that bipartisan roads and bridges plan set for a floor vote today may be destined for defeat. house speaker pelosi spent her time at the ball game last night, look at her, feverishly working her phone. is there any chance that you call the bill tomorrow? the plan is to bring the bill to the floor. are you worried you may not have the votes? one hour at a time. one hour at a time. progressives are fuming that the 3 1/2 trillion dollar plan for human infrastructure isn t done. they re threatening to sink the bipartisan bill on hard infrastructure. if we do have a vote, we ll vote
good morning to viewers here in the united states and around the world. it is thursday, september 30th. and nine months into his presidency, the fate of joe biden s agenda is on the line today. will speaker nancy pelosi hold a vote on an infrastructure plan, a bipartisan one, as her own parties threatens to shoot it down? and will manchin blow up the agenda. tonight there will be an aaron sorkin like narrative or a laugh riot joke. well, this is why we all came to washington. it s like an episode of a tv show. . which tv show? . maybe the west wing if something good happens. here s where things stand this morning. the good news for americans is that hours before the government is set to shutdown, lawmakers reached a deal to keep it open. for now a senate vote is expected to fail, pushing the u.s. closer to defaulting for the first time ever. on top of this, the house scheduled to vote on the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill. but democratic infighting i
