joe biden just CLICKBAITED America...
FULL TRANSCRIPT
folks you cannot make this crap
up yesterday joe biden was
applauding the success of striking a
deal on the
infrastructure package a deal which you
have to have a deal
in order to draw up a bill we reviewed
this infrastructure package in detail
yesterday
it's almost one trillion dollars in
spending over the next five years and
amounts to a total of over one trillion
dollars once you count it over the next
eight years
it includes money for many different
things like
roads bridges safety rail ev
infrastructure
by the way ev only getting seven and a
half billion dollars for chargers
versus the 175 billion initially
promised
just a small small difference about
detail there right but
you know this this was applauded this
was a big plan big bipartisan plan that
was applauded
uh we drew sort of some pictures here
about how we think okay good
so we got a check mark on on the plan
over here we got this part done but we
still have to get the bill drawn up then
we have to vote then we have to work on
the next bill
which is the soft infrastructure plan
and the bill for that
so that we knew that there was work to
do we also knew that there were
ways to finance this new investment here
by having more irs audits and
selling some oil from the strategic oil
reserve and the 5g spectrum
and we left off with the expectation
that this would be an infrastructure
package that would pass sometime
between august and october because our
congress moves slow right
we know that well things just got a
little um
more entertaining let's just say
republicans
who were part of this bipartisan
negotiation
are very very pissed less than 24 hours
after this
deal was struck and see that's because
yesterday during questioning
joe biden said quote if this is the only
thing that comes to me
this plan here on hard infrastructure
quote
i'm not signing it it's in tandem
in other words he wants both the hard
infrastructure package
and the soft infrastructure package done
together
that is even though we have a plan right
now and we've gone
a step in the right direction on having
a hard infrastructure plan
joe biden also wants the soft
infrastructure plan
so while we have the hard infrastructure
plan done
the soft includes issues that
republicans
get heart palpitations from such as tax
increases
more social spending more child
or dependent care spending housing
reform
and and even changes to certain aspects
of housing
such as the 1031 tax deferred exchange
right this would be a reduction over
here
and these are things that are expected
to be in the soft infrastructure package
which republicans do not want and so
it's really interesting that joe biden
would strike a deal on the hard
infrastructure package
but then in discussions conditioned the
signing of that hard infrastructure deal
which he made a deal he even went as far
as saying
that mitt romney has never gone back on
his word
in making a deal with joe biden and they
struck a deal
and that a deal a verbal deal a
handshake deal is good enough for joe
biden
because that's how things are done
around his parts where he came from
but just a few hours after that deal is
made
joe biden suggests well you know yeah we
made that deal but
i'm not going to sign it unless
republicans also bring me the soft
infrastructure deal
republicans apparently didn't think that
was part of
the deal they made and so republicans
are
going off today saying in endorsing the
deal
biden praised the group for keeping
their word
but then immediately broke his says a
republican aide
this is in the washington post mcconnell
says that joe biden is quote
caving completely in less than 24 hours
ben ryder an aide to senator portman
who's working on the bipartisan deal
says quote it completely violates the
spirit of the deal the republicans
involved in negotiations feel betrayed
and made
fools of for agreeing to a deal in which
democrats will ultimately get everything
they want
lindsey graham who initially endorsed
the deal said quote
no deal by extortion it was never
suggested to me during these
negotiations that president biden was
holding hostage
the bipartisan infrastructure proposal
unless a liberal reconciliation process
package was also passed i can't imagine
any other republican had that impression
folks this is a problem for joe biden
but you've also got a response here from
jen sackey that says well
you know it's pretty much the
republicans problem to deal with
she was a little evasive about
addressing the issue and
said that she didn't have any calls
between biden or republicans either
scheduled or to report
now initially you think hey that
shouldn't be a problem because democrats
can just go with budget reconciliation
and slam dunk some bills with 50 votes
screw the republicans right
doesn't quite work that way budget
parliamentarian came out and said that
republicans
and democrats mostly democrats here
because they have the power to actually
do this
only have one opportunity left to use a
budget reconciliation measure to pass
a bill with just 50 votes and then
kamala harris as the 51st tiebreaker
vote
this is even considering if joe manchin
were willing to go along
with a budget reconciliation deal so in
other words
i feel like you're kind of right back
to where you started you're in a place
where we have no deal we have no path to
getting an infrastructure deal
all the talk about maybe a fourth
stimulus check
which might be included or i'm sorry not
might is vaguely rumored by some
that it should be included in the next
infrastructure
soft package or social package no
guarantees it's coming at all
you have all this being talked about but
in reality right now we've literally got
nothing we're basically it feels like
right now
back to ground floor
back to square one we're starting over
congress sucks
congress fails again now we'll see what
happens maybe this is just a
misunderstanding
but this is the latest in terms of
what's going on at the capitol
thanks for watching folks we'll see you
in the next one keep in mind if this
stresses you out
