That's, that's all right. 40 00:02:42,500 --> 00:02:44,000 And Louis Park is. Yes. 41 00:02:45,700 --> 00:02:48,400 And that is, of course, the voice of congresswoman ilhan, 42 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,900 Omar, welcome to rumble. You are in the middle right now 43 00:02:52,100 --> 00:02:54,300 of a number of votes this afternoon, let me just tell 44 00:02:54,300 --> 00:02:56,100 people. We are recording this late 45 00:02:56,100 --> 00:03:00,300 afternoon on Wednesday, the 29th of September, the country is on 46 00:03:00,300 --> 00:03:03,400 pins and needles. This right now because those who 47 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,500 are in the know about these bills that are before the Senate 48 00:03:07,500 --> 00:03:10,700 and the House of Representatives will have, as I said, this 49 00:03:10,700 --> 00:03:15,100 lasting historical impact. If we get these past and the 50 00:03:15,100 --> 00:03:17,700 thing is congresswoman, maybe you should just give us an 51 00:03:17,700 --> 00:03:20,900 update right now as to where things are at, as we are talking 52 00:03:21,100 --> 00:03:23,900 in this woman because I know there's a vote coming up in 20 53 00:03:23,900 --> 00:03:26,700 minutes or so. So, just where are we at? 54 00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:29,600 I think, especially people who listen to my podcast, they want 55 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:34,400 to know, they want to hear. Or is this the First Time In Our 56 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:40,500 Lifetime, where Democrats are actually going to stand, stand 57 00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:44,600 their ground for the people and make sure that we get everything 58 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,400 that we need Hast. Is there a sliver of Hope here? 59 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,700 Well, let me, first of all, thank you, and to your 60 00:03:52,700 --> 00:03:57,500 listeners, it's really great to be able to be in conversation 61 00:03:57,500 --> 00:04:00,200 and in community with you to your point. 62 00:04:00,900 --> 00:04:06,200 We Are deliberating on number of pieces of legislation that will 63 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:11,800 have and could have a lasting impact on the lives of so many 64 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:18,800 people, we have to vote on bills, concerning the debt 65 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,400 ceiling. We have to vote on it. 66 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,500 Continued, resolution that will hopefully keep the government 67 00:04:26,500 --> 00:04:30,600 open. And we've got these two big 68 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,500 pieces. Pieces of legislation, the pipe 69 00:04:33,500 --> 00:04:41,500 Artisan infrastructure bill and the build back better act, the 70 00:04:41,500 --> 00:04:46,500 reconciliation larger piece that make up the build back better 71 00:04:46,500 --> 00:04:51,300 agenda that the president ran on that we as progressives are 72 00:04:51,300 --> 00:04:54,600 fighting on. And I've had his back that will 73 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:59,200 have investments in childcare and preschool in community 74 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:04,700 college and trade schools. Addressing our climate crisis in 75 00:05:04,700 --> 00:05:08,500 addressing the housing crisis and housing shortage that exists 76 00:05:08,500 --> 00:05:14,600 in this country expanding Medicare lowering, the eligible 77 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,700 age 255 covering hearing dental and vision. 78 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,400 So as you said, this is probably going to be the kind of 79 00:05:23,500 --> 00:05:28,200 investment that our country needs one. 80 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:33,500 That hasn't happened since the 1930s And if we are successful, 81 00:05:33,900 --> 00:05:37,600 we will truly have transformed our nation. 82 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:43,000 Now nine, the good news is 95 percent of Democrats in 83 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:49,000 Congress, both in the Senate and the house are joined in wanting 84 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:57,900 to implement this agenda. We have a few that are, you know 85 00:05:57,900 --> 00:06:01,000 creating roadblocks in accomplishing this. 86 00:06:01,300 --> 00:06:04,100 You know, you as you've been following, there are a lot of 87 00:06:04,100 --> 00:06:09,200 people who are doing the bidding of Corporations. 88 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:14,800 Whether it is Big Pharma, big oil, and Wall Street and are 89 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:21,100 not, you know, working in concert with us and, you know, 90 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,100 helping us deliver on behalf of the American people. 91 00:06:25,700 --> 00:06:29,100 You know, Michael we say, Democrats are the party of the 92 00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:33,700 people and this is Is are once-in-a-lifetime opportunity 93 00:06:33,700 --> 00:06:37,200 to actually prove that. And so we're we're going to hold 94 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,700 the line and we're going to do everything that we can to make 95 00:06:40,700 --> 00:06:42,300 sure this gets done. Well. 96 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:48,300 Well, you know the hopes and prayers of a nation of millions 97 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,800 are with you right now. And I can say that because I 98 00:06:53,100 --> 00:06:57,200 read every single, one of the public opinion polls that are 99 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:01,000 taken every now and then and consistently for the last 100 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:01,800 number. Revere's. 101 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,200 The majority of Americans already agree with what is in, 102 00:07:06,500 --> 00:07:07,900 what I call others these two bills. 103 00:07:07,900 --> 00:07:10,500 As you just described the bipartisan infrastructure Bill, 104 00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:13,700 Republicans joined in to vote for money, for roads, and 105 00:07:13,700 --> 00:07:18,600 bridges, and tunnels, and Rural internet and all good and 106 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,600 necessary and needed things. You should know this obviously 107 00:07:21,700 --> 00:07:24,800 being from Minneapolis and the collapse of the bridge number of 108 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,900 years ago. So right, that's happening in 109 00:07:26,900 --> 00:07:28,700 ready to happen all over the country that bill. 110 00:07:29,100 --> 00:07:32,300 I think you got 16 Republicans in the Senate 'Not to go along 111 00:07:32,300 --> 00:07:36,100 with that one, but the second bill which has to go through 112 00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:39,500 this reconciliation but I think the parliamentarian is in the 113 00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:43,200 Senate is said, yes it can. The three point five trillion 114 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,900 dollar bill. This is what I call the human 115 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,200 infrastructure to build. This is the one that is about, 116 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,900 as you said, Pre-K, child care for elderly people to get a 117 00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:57,600 hearing aid, that's what this bill is about right, Pete sick. 118 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:03,600 I mean, we're one of I think the Is in the developed world that 119 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,700 doesn't guarantee that, you know. 120 00:08:06,700 --> 00:08:10,200 It mean this is this is more than necessary. 121 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:15,600 Let's Elation and you know, shockingly for you know, 122 00:08:15,700 --> 00:08:22,400 progressives always are, you know, trying to fight for an 123 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,900 agenda that is supplemental to what Democrats? 124 00:08:24,900 --> 00:08:28,900 Usually force, or what? The president might Force. 125 00:08:28,900 --> 00:08:34,100 This is the first time that We are doing this in concert and 126 00:08:34,100 --> 00:08:38,299 we've consistently had the president's back in implementing 127 00:08:38,299 --> 00:08:41,299 this agenda. You know, Senator, Bernie 128 00:08:41,299 --> 00:08:45,100 Sanders himself as the chair of the budget Committee in the 129 00:08:45,100 --> 00:08:48,300 Senate wrote it. So you know, it's good piece of 130 00:08:48,300 --> 00:08:53,300 legislation and we're really excited about the possibility of 131 00:08:53,300 --> 00:08:59,400 people really feeling actual tangible investment in their 132 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,600 lives that government. You know, will have a part in 133 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,500 right? And the president of the United 134 00:09:05,500 --> 00:09:08,000 States. Joe Biden has said, this is what 135 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,600 he believes in. Wait, it's his agenda, it's his 136 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,900 agenda. So the fact that the different 137 00:09:12,900 --> 00:09:15,900 factions of the democratic party have come together. 138 00:09:15,900 --> 00:09:19,400 As you said, 95 percent support. Everything that you and I have 139 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,800 just been talking about but it is that 5% that could blow this 140 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,800 thing up, could make it not happen. 141 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,500 Where are we at with that? I mean, we're talking 142 00:09:28,500 --> 00:09:30,700 essentially, it sounds like two senators. 143 00:09:31,100 --> 00:09:34,100 Senator manchin from West, Virginia, and Senator Cinema 144 00:09:34,100 --> 00:09:37,400 from Arizona. Are we talking about any members 145 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,400 of the house that are also threatened to affect here? 146 00:09:41,500 --> 00:09:44,000 I know there's a couple of what Arkham I would call the more 147 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,000 corporate just Democrats, but it seems like we're so close to 148 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,700 this and because we are so used to. 149 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,900 I hate to say this losing may be compromising is a better word 150 00:09:54,900 --> 00:09:57,300 but we're asked, we've been asked all our lives to 151 00:09:57,300 --> 00:09:59,000 compromise compromise compromise. 152 00:09:59,100 --> 00:10:04,700 Yeah, I mean you know, a Think compromising on this is asking 153 00:10:04,700 --> 00:10:09,600 right for the people who have continued the compromised in our 154 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,500 communities to continue to do so, and it's something that 155 00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:18,000 we're not willing to do. There are few members in the 156 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,200 house that have expressed apprehension. 157 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:25,500 But there are they're not like the Senators that, you know, 158 00:10:25,500 --> 00:10:30,900 that you just mentioned. They are willing to vote. 159 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:31,900 Vote. Yes. 160 00:10:32,300 --> 00:10:36,300 On both of these pieces of legislation that is better than 161 00:10:36,300 --> 00:10:40,400 what we have heard from the other senators. 162 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:45,900 And I think you know for us the pipe Artisan infrastructure Bill 163 00:10:45,900 --> 00:10:50,900 isn't perfect but we're willing to put our boots on the board 164 00:10:50,900 --> 00:10:54,800 for it as a yes. And you know there are some 165 00:10:54,800 --> 00:11:00,100 Democrats in our caucus who don't think you know the kind of 166 00:11:00,100 --> 00:11:04,000 Investments That Are making in the reconciliation. 167 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,900 Peace isn't what they would have proposed, but they're willing to 168 00:11:07,900 --> 00:11:11,900 put their votes on the board as a yes. 169 00:11:11,900 --> 00:11:16,800 Now, we just need to hear from, you know, these two senators. 170 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,200 I think Mansion has been, we've been making some progress with 171 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:26,900 him and Cinema just seems to be the harder one to move. 172 00:11:26,900 --> 00:11:32,600 I want, you know, their constituents to To be reaching 173 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:38,000 out and, you know, being in conversations with them. 174 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,100 Because what we are pushing for, and what we're proposing is real 175 00:11:42,100 --> 00:11:46,000 investment in people's lives. I know that people in my 176 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,800 district will benefit from these pieces of legislation. 177 00:11:49,900 --> 00:11:55,000 I can't imagine how, you know, Cinema doesn't have constituents 178 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,200 that will benefit from it. And I can't imagine how, you 179 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,700 know, Joe manchin doesn't I have constituents that will benefit 180 00:12:03,700 --> 00:12:06,700 from it. And so, you know, this, this, 181 00:12:06,700 --> 00:12:10,800 this is not a wish list of progressives. 182 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,000 This is a wish list from the American people. 183 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,700 This is why they voted for President Biden. 184 00:12:18,700 --> 00:12:22,500 This was his agenda that he ran on, that's why they gave us the 185 00:12:22,500 --> 00:12:23,900 majority in the house and the Senate. 186 00:12:23,900 --> 00:12:29,700 And we can't continue to make promises to people that we are 187 00:12:29,700 --> 00:12:32,300 not willing. Willing to fulfill. 188 00:12:32,300 --> 00:12:34,200 So people are listening to this right now. 189 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,800 If you live in Arizona or West Virginia, it is not a waste of 190 00:12:37,808 --> 00:12:40,900 your time, to call your two senators. 191 00:12:40,900 --> 00:12:44,400 That one in West Virginia.

And I will tell you as a member 203 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,800 that these calls do get, we get a week. 204 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,500 Out of every single phone call that comes into our office. 205 00:13:35,500 --> 00:13:41,400 And so when there is an uptick, in a particular area of interest 206 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:47,200 from our constituents, you know, we're able to know and we're 207 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:51,200 able to make a decision in regards to how we're going to 208 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,200 vote. A lot of people hear their 209 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,900 members say, you know, I heard from my constituents, I made the 210 00:13:56,900 --> 00:13:58,600 decision to go. Yes or no. 211 00:13:58,700 --> 00:14:02,800 This is your chance to make sure Your senators are hearing from 212 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,600 you so we can get them to a yes on these pieces of legislation 213 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,900 that will make an impact in your life. 214 00:14:09,900 --> 00:14:13,100 So it does make a difference to call and you're saying that you 215 00:14:13,100 --> 00:14:15,200 as a member of Congress you pay attention. 216 00:14:15,500 --> 00:14:19,100 You see that read out every day as to what people call about 217 00:14:19,100 --> 00:14:24,400 what they said and you do care and and At and Michael, it's not 218 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,200 only every day it's throughout the day throughout the day. 219 00:14:28,300 --> 00:14:34,800 So, you know, it's not, it's not just once that were, you know, 220 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:40,900 being kept in the loop of how our constituents are engaging, 221 00:14:40,900 --> 00:14:45,200 what was what we're doing and Washington, but we're hearing it 222 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,400 constantly from our staff, the kind of phone calls that are 223 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:54,100 coming in and the ways in which are Constituents want us to 224 00:14:54,100 --> 00:14:57,800 actually represent them so you haven't given up hope on these 225 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,100 two senators. Because as you pointed out, they 226 00:15:00,100 --> 00:15:03,800 did both eventually vote for the first infrastructure Bill, the 227 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,100 roads and bridges one right way, tension and Cinema voted for 228 00:15:07,100 --> 00:15:09,700 that even though they were reluctant. 229 00:15:09,700 --> 00:15:12,800 At first, there is a chance. Do you think President? 230 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,200 Biden is I know. They've been to the White House 231 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,700 now. I think every day this week 232 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,900 manche mansion in cinema II, did a podcast a couple weeks ago. 233 00:15:21,900 --> 00:15:25,300 I said President Biden. Just do what they used to do. 234 00:15:25,300 --> 00:15:29,200 Back in the Lyndon Johnson days, offer the pork, just say, what 235 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,300 do you need in? Arizona will get you. 236 00:15:31,300 --> 00:15:32,700 What you need? I mean, I'm not going to buy you 237 00:15:32,700 --> 00:15:35,700 a new yacht, but I'm going to for the people of Arizona, what 238 00:15:35,700 --> 00:15:37,500 do you need for the people of West Virginia. 239 00:15:37,500 --> 00:15:41,200 What do you need? I mean, use the power Senators 240 00:15:41,300 --> 00:15:44,200 that you hold in your hands right now and get good things 241 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,600 for your people. You know, I'll maybe some people 242 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,400 listen to say, oh, Mike, don't don't be encouraging this kind 243 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,500 of politicking but my friend's, this is so important. 244 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:57,600 Isn't that both of these bills? Get passed at the same time and 245 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,400 that we get these things that we need for our fellow Americans. 246 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,000 It's so important. And what is Joe Biden and offer? 247 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:08,500 He says the people the poor poor people of West Virginia who live 248 00:16:08,500 --> 00:16:11,500 in poverty, offer, Joe manchin, something he can take to the 249 00:16:11,500 --> 00:16:13,200 people there. And say, you know what, I got 250 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,500 this for you, your life isn't going to be as bad as it was a 251 00:16:16,508 --> 00:16:19,100 week ago or a month ago. Are you upset to hear me? 252 00:16:19,100 --> 00:16:22,500 Say stuff like this because it's it's so old school. 253 00:16:22,700 --> 00:16:25,700 Ticking. But it's but it's like if as 254 00:16:25,700 --> 00:16:28,900 long as that, you know, know know representative should be 255 00:16:28,900 --> 00:16:30,900 getting any money to line their pockets. 256 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,600 But if they're getting something for the people of their state, I 257 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,400 got to tell you right now, nobody listening to this, no 258 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,900 matter what state they're in cares, about whatever it is that 259 00:16:38,900 --> 00:16:41,700 Joe Biden's going to do to help the people of Arizona or West 260 00:16:41,700 --> 00:16:43,600 Virginia. We're all for it, whatever it 261 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,200 is, it'll be good. And I think more importantly 262 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,700 what in these bills are they objecting to write that that is 263 00:16:49,700 --> 00:16:52,500 also the other part of this conversation? 264 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,200 Relation that we just really don't know. 265 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,500 What is it that they don't like they haven't said? 266 00:16:58,500 --> 00:17:01,900 Yeah I mean you know it's not it's not like they're that 267 00:17:01,900 --> 00:17:05,200 they're not legislators that there isn't an opportunity for 268 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,900 them to legislate, have their voices heard in this process, 269 00:17:10,300 --> 00:17:13,200 you know, we all have an opportunity to say, you know, 270 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,300 this, the the these are the things that that makes sense to 271 00:17:16,300 --> 00:17:19,500 me in this piece of legislation. These are the things that don't 272 00:17:19,500 --> 00:17:22,400 make sense to me. If you keep, you know, a b and 273 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:23,300 c. In. 274 00:17:23,300 --> 00:17:27,500 You can have my vote if you take out a b and c, you could have my 275 00:17:27,500 --> 00:17:29,100 vote right. Like that. 276 00:17:29,100 --> 00:17:33,100 That's even a start. And so what we're asking for is 277 00:17:33,100 --> 00:17:38,100 like what do you want to see in the in the reconciliation Bill, 278 00:17:38,100 --> 00:17:42,600 what you don't want to see? So that we can begin to have a 279 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,300 conversation on how to urgently get this piece of legislation 280 00:17:46,300 --> 00:17:48,500 done. So that the people that we 281 00:17:48,500 --> 00:17:52,400 represent with desperately waited for investment in a gang 282 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:57,500 Again, in these key areas, right of child care of Peace, School 283 00:17:57,500 --> 00:18:03,900 of Health Care, expansion of housing of climate, resiliency, 284 00:18:04,300 --> 00:18:09,800 all of these areas are things areas that are important to so 285 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,600 many people. The piece of legislation that we 286 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,600 perforce is so popular. Not just with Democrats but with 287 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:23,300 Republicans and Independence. And so, you know, I If you have 288 00:18:23,300 --> 00:18:27,000 Republican listeners, but if you do or independent listeners, you 289 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,100 know, we should also encourage them to reach out to their 290 00:18:31,100 --> 00:18:35,800 members as well write like this. This this kind of investment 291 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,100 that we are making is, is real investment. 292 00:18:39,100 --> 00:18:41,800 This is a investment in people's lives, right? 293 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,500 And every single member of Congress, whether you're in the 294 00:18:44,500 --> 00:18:48,800 house, in the Senate should be invested in fighting for 295 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,400 investments, in the lives of the people that you represent. 296 00:18:51,500 --> 00:18:55,100 I read a piece this week. That said, actually, Republican 297 00:18:55,100 --> 00:18:58,500 Senators should be voting for this because all the things in, 298 00:18:58,500 --> 00:19:01,300 the human infrastructure Bill are things that are going to 299 00:19:01,500 --> 00:19:06,100 benefit red states to such an extreme that they should be 300 00:19:06,100 --> 00:19:07,700 upset. They didn't think of this first 301 00:19:07,900 --> 00:19:11,200 because all of this help and money is going to go to states 302 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,900 that are represented some of them by two Republican Senators 303 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,700 and they should be behind this. I mean, I just want to ask you. 304 00:19:17,700 --> 00:19:21,500 You posted a photo yesterday of you and speaker Pelosi holding 305 00:19:21,500 --> 00:19:23,800 hands. The caption read. 306 00:19:24,100 --> 00:19:27,700 It's going to take all of us to deliver the president's build 307 00:19:27,700 --> 00:19:32,100 back better agenda. So I thought that was so cool to 308 00:19:32,100 --> 00:19:34,500 see that photo. Our first of all, are you still 309 00:19:34,500 --> 00:19:38,900 holding hands now, it's a day later with speaker Pelosi and 310 00:19:38,900 --> 00:19:42,500 I'm assuming that she's aligned on this because she is there to 311 00:19:42,500 --> 00:19:46,300 get through 10 million. More people voted for Joe, Biden 312 00:19:46,300 --> 00:19:50,300 than the other guy. The American people want these 313 00:19:50,300 --> 00:19:52,400 things, the majority of them support them. 314 00:19:52,500 --> 00:19:55,500 Again, as I said, look at any poll, even with the Senators, 315 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,500 the, the statistic of how many Americans voted for a democrat 316 00:19:59,500 --> 00:20:01,800 in the US. Senate is Way Beyond the number 317 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,600 that voted for Republicans, but because of the system that we 318 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:09,100 have sadly, sometimes is the minority party, like the 319 00:20:09,100 --> 00:20:11,400 Republicans who get to have the say. 320 00:20:11,900 --> 00:20:14,800 But how are things today with you and speaker Pelosi? 321 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,600 And is she, as optimistic as I think she is. 322 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:26,300 So you know, few months ago Five months ago, we put forth a 323 00:20:26,300 --> 00:20:31,300 framework of what we thought should be included in the 324 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,800 reconciliation bill, right? The, the progressive caucus 325 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:42,100 said, we want to have investments in, in the areas of 326 00:20:42,700 --> 00:20:49,900 the Care economy and Healthcare in the immigration in housing. 327 00:20:50,700 --> 00:20:57,500 And we said, We think a strategy of simultaneously moving these 328 00:20:57,500 --> 00:21:00,900 pieces of legislation makes the best sense. 329 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:08,600 What we have found is that it the, the speaker Majority Leader 330 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:13,600 Schumer and the White House agreed with with that strategy. 331 00:21:14,100 --> 00:21:17,300 And because there was an agreement with that strategy. 332 00:21:18,300 --> 00:21:25,900 Progressives in the Senate Like Bernie Sanders and others voted 333 00:21:26,300 --> 00:21:30,500 for the infrastructure. Bipartisan infrastructure piece 334 00:21:30,500 --> 00:21:36,800 of legislation and believe that you know we will we will 335 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:43,200 ultimately all come together and and pass this agenda in tandem. 336 00:21:43,700 --> 00:21:48,000 Now the speaker has not wavered in her support for this 337 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,700 Strategy, Chuck Schumer Majority Leader. 338 00:21:51,700 --> 00:21:55,000 Chuck Schumer has not the White House has not. 339 00:21:55,400 --> 00:22:00,000 It's only the few people that we've talked about in the senate 340 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:05,100 in the house that have and so you know the the speaker 341 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,800 Majority Leader Schumer and the White House and US continue to 342 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:14,000 hold hands and want to see this through and we will continue to 343 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:20,000 hold hands until this Bill gets Implemented into law. 344 00:22:20,100 --> 00:22:24,100 Well you know we're all hoping for this and I sense some 345 00:22:24,100 --> 00:22:26,600 optimism. Though it's is it correct to say 346 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,400 as we're recording this right now? 347 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,900 None of us know how with the end game is here. 348 00:22:30,900 --> 00:22:33,600 What's going to happen? Yeah, I mean I'm optimistic, 349 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,600 there has been some progress made in the last 24 hours. 350 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:42,400 We expect they will be more progress made in the next 24 351 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:47,900 hours and hopefully you know we will it will be enough progress 352 00:22:47,900 --> 00:22:54,800 with Bill's to have a vote because without it, it is not 353 00:22:54,800 --> 00:23:02,200 only going to be a failure in in in the Democratic agenda, 354 00:23:02,900 --> 00:23:07,200 failure in the president's agenda, but failure in 355 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:14,000 delivering on our promise, to the American people and failure 356 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:19,900 in actually having, you know, tangible Investment in people's 357 00:23:19,900 --> 00:23:23,000 lives.
