and then bill barr said i didn't know and i never saw the president's tweet. and again i can't disprove that but i very dubious audit so in the mob bosses, donald trump does not have to calling people to say, there's understanding. they get into a flow are instances that there are explicit things between the two. but i think that is close of an analogy that i can make it to the mob world. with that relationship. >> of course, and one of the think so, i want to give away too much in the book so i will stop pulling from too many exurbs. but one of the things in outlook of the big picture here, so part of why i like this book so much is that you see a lot of the real world the curse news cycle and the current world in the time capsule of the bill barr rain as attorney general and during the trump years. in one of the more pertinent new stories that has come out i'm imagining since your this book, as part of the eg carroll saga, she gives president trump rate in the '90s but more pertinent entered defamation in 2019, during his administration. there was a question

bill. first, they said our bill will make inflation worse. only to give up on that once everyone from larry summers to hamp paulson to seven nobel laureates said it would do the opposite. then they tried call -- tried calling it a bill on the middle class, before changing their minds, actually admitting the bill contains no tax rate increases at all for the middle class. in every turn they've resorted to the decades-old talking point of calling our bill nothing but wasteful spending, conveniently ignoring that our bill in fact lowers the deficit and is completely paid for. i will grant my republican colleagues that their task is not easy. by one measure, over 65% of americans support the policies in the inflation reduction act and other polls reflect the same. republican haven't been able to get around the fact that americans like that we're letting medicare negotiate the price of prescription drugs. they like that we will close tax loopholes that allow billion-dollar companies to pay zero

bill for families. lowering costs, helping seniors with prescription drugs, and really moving forward on action against climate change. after it's passed, we're going to continue to work on these other issues. i want to end with this. i want to thank members of my staff who have particularly worked so hard the last 18 months on a range of issues, but in particular the ones who worked on home and community-based services and will continue that fight with us. stacey sanders, michael g amma mccormick, norda apache and so many others who have done good work like so many others of the staffs of so many senators here tonight. but let's get the inflation reduction act passed tonight and let's move forward on these other issues in the months ahead. mr. president, i -- mr. president, i yield the floor. a senator: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from indiana. mr. young: mr. president, i yield myself ten minutes from the bill time. mr. president, i rise today to honor the lives of four hoosiers w

this bill is not perfect. and i am outraged by republican senators' opposition to key provisions like a $35 cap on insulin prices. you know who that affects disproportionately? black and brown people. they're putting politics over people. families still face huge burdens from housing to child care to immigration. we have a lot less to get done. but thanks to the relentless, and i mean relentless determination of the progressive caucus and progressives around the country, we are poised to deliver real tangible improvements in the lives of families around the country immediately. and this is our moral imperative as democrats. and with control of the governing majority, that should never be overlooked. so i look forward to heading into the capital and to vote yes on the inflation reduction act of 2022 and put the american people over politics finally. thank you all again and now let me ask my colleague, a former co-chair of the progressive caucus, another emeritus, who chairs the natural resources committee, my f

i'm dana perino. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer. good morning. rodni was reported missing the 6th of august. she was at a large party at a campground near lake tahoe. adventures with purpose divers found the girl's body inside the car submerged in a nearby reservoir. >> dana: officials have confirmed the car was rodni's. >> the f.b.i. is working evaluating the vehicle. we have to come in and do that. we want to allow them to work. we'll come in and examine data and the vehicle and all our investigators look at that car. >> bill: how did she get there? william la jeunesse has more on the story today. >> good morning, bill. police have not confirmed the body found inside the honda crv is rodni her family issued this statement. while we accept this the rising sun shines light upon us reminding us not to mourn our loss but celebrate her spirit. >> they recovered the vehicle last night. we have located a decedent inside the vehicle. we believe it is our missing person. >> police have not suggested foul play but today's autopsy should provide a cause o

so the attorney general on the day was jeffrey who had been bill barr's longtime deputy and bill barr left shortly before christmas. and jeffrey rosen was mia that day. i can't really. ellie: what bill barr would've done the day but i think that bill barr, give them enough credit for being rational enough and unwilling, he crossed an awful lot of lines, blinds thati would never thought i would never seen an attorney general crossed but not everyone freedom willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and that he would've done the right thing and certainly not disappeared. i think attorney general has a job and that is to get in touch with the president and tell him like a lot of people are urging him to do, and equipment of all statement to call this thing off. but some of the blame sits on bill barr and the tendency to underwrite bill barr's danger level because unlike some of the obvious rudi's and the brooks and the donald trump tutors out there yelling to the crowds group. even others, very aggressive in your facing bill barr has a soft-spoken manner and he looks the part of the s

this bill is the biggest step forward on climate ever. and it is going to allow us to boldly take additional steps toward meeting all my climate goals, the ones we set out when we ran. it includes ensuring we create clean energy opportunities in frontline and fence line immunities that have been smothered by the legacy of pollution, and fight environmental injustice that has been going on so long. and here is another win for the american people. in addition to cutting the deficit by 350 billion dollars last year, my first year in office, and cutting it $1.7 trillion this fiscal year, we are going to cut the deficit by another $300 billion with the inflation act over the next decade. we are cutting the deficit to fight inflation by having the wealthy and big corporations finally begin to pay part of their fair share. big corporations will now pay minimum 15% tax instead of getting away with paying zero dollars of federal income tax on $4 billion of profit. and i am keeping my campaign commitment -- no one, let me emphasize, no one earning

this bill is fighting inflation. progressive leaders like senator elizabeth warren said, quote, this is a bill that truly is about fighting inflation, bringing down the costs for families and putting our country on a sounder economic footing. here's how it works. first, the bill finally delivers on a promise that washington has made for decades to the american people. we're giving medicare the power to negotiate for lower prescription drug prices, which means seniors and consumers will pay less for their prescription drugs. medicare will save in the process about $290 billion. and in addition it also changes the circumstances for people on medicare, by putting a cap of a maximum $2,000 a year, they have to pay no more than $2,000 a year, no matter how many prescriptions they have. for all the prescription drugs. which is especially important for people with cancer and long-term diseases. it's a god send. it will be a god send for many families. second, the bill locks in place lower health care premiums for the next t

, the burn pit bill. the bipartisan bill to invest heavily and bringing advanced manufacturing back to the united states. the semiconductor chips bill. he's doing bill signings for both of those pieces of legislation next week. that is not to mention the recent success of few weeks ago of getting a bill passed that will invest in community mental health, and in gun control. i think this has been win after win for week after week for president biden and the overall agenda that we are trying to pursue here as democrats in the congress. but what matters, jasmine, is the impact it will have for working families, for folks wondering when they're going to get some relief. relief is on the way. >> senator, how can you turn this into votes come november? >> well, by sharing that message around the country. look, i've been getting calls from folks in delaware for weeks. they are expressing concern about inflation. about how they are making progress in affording things at the gas pump at the grocery store and pharm

i think bill barr viewed donald trump as a tool, a vehicle to an end. he recognized down trump and he shared similar views of how powerful the president should be. he understood he wanted to be all-powerful as president and willing and able to make that ahappen. there is a synergy between bill bars unitarian executive and donald trump who didn't phrase us academically but donald trump said on the president, i have them, i can do what i want. bill barr recognized we are sort of simpatico on this and he could implement a lot of his agenda and personal beliefs to donald trump or thehe donald trp interfering so they both viewed each other as o a means to an e, bill barr had been a mama saying excuse me, i'm going to nearly four mueller and that's all trump cared about and barr viewed trump as maybe s somewhat witting or unwitting leads to his own personal and. >> i think that relationship was apparent when you go back to what was uncovered around ukraine and trump viewed them almost in a similar grouping and i don't know what is this about either trump or b

and what this bill does is an investment built. it says ok what physically have to happen in the world in order for. ready an economy to be robust and resilient without fossil fuels. and so what it locks a lot of new sectors that really haven't been shackled to the fossil fuel economy are very, very long time investments and again hydrogen on last, the steel sector and the fertilizer sector, which traditionally has been very dependent on balsam bills in order to create these key commodities for the modern world. so this is an investment package and the future of the us economy, but also an investment package. and. busy all of the innovations and technologies that will be needed across the world in order to reduce emissions and time to avoid a crime crisis. how significant is it, though, that not one republican voted for the spill, and if they do re, re take the senate and indeed the white house, is there any way for them to repeal this or undo the progress that's been made? a lot of these incentives have support across the us econo

a long ways to go. >> bill: put it on screen. the spike is trending lower.4.01 a gallon but the demand for gas is dropping which explains a lot of why we're down 50 days in a row now. i heard you the other day call this recent bill pathetic. >> yeah. it's pathetic absolutely. >> bill: more power to the e.p.a. and the i.r.s.. will that help growth? is that going to help inflation, larry? >> no. absolutely not. i mean, this bill was a central planner's regulators' paradise. this is all about big government and big government socialism. there is nothing in here to cut inflation. there is nothing in here to grow the economy out of recession. there is nothing in here to incentivize entrepreneurs. this is not a bill that will help working folks. it will not help small businesses. it will not help large businesses. it will not help young entrepreneurs. it helps government bureaucrats, okay? it helps regulators. the epa war on fossil fuels is bolstered by this. the i.r.s. war on everybody, on everybody. they are coming for you, bill hemm

bill barr either way is. he puts on this whole i don't really read the papers are during confirmation he put this i don't really want this job, no way there's plenty of evidence out there is very image-conscious. i can't disclose what folks i know whow know him he will talk to the media and he knows about my book and he is not happy, which i take as a good sign. so if l you look at that atlantc article it is so one sided that leaves out the whole six months that bill barth was fanning the flames. as i was reading of the day it came out said this interesting kept scrolling down saying when is he going to come up with a mealymouthed explanation when it said those things are congress i really didn't mean this, i meant only this narrow way. or even maybe for him i said some things that turned out to be wrong when it really is they were wrong i corrected it. i would have been okay with that i would've given given him partial credit foror that. it is nowhere to beno seen in ts article. i did not go to journalism sc

this bill responds. and it responds consistent with the desires of the american people and will bring down the cost of energy for americans by investing in developing and deploying cleaner, more sustainable energy technologies like electric vehicles and solar panels. at the same time we're doing it without raising the deficit. in fact, the legislation reduces the deficit by closing loopholes so the largest corporations would profit -- with profits over $1 billion will pay a minimum tax rate of just 15%. now the rate is 21%. on corporations. but if they get over $1 billion, they're going to pay at least 15%. why? because we protect their shipping lanes with our navy. we protect their roads that they transport goods across. they get a lot from their taxes. just as we all do. maybe that's why the republicans don't like this bill. that is well below the regular 21% tax, as i said, and we do it all while ensuring that individuals and families earning less than $400,000 a year won't see a single tax increase.

but not only are we talking about now, $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill, bipartisan gun safety bill, veterans, so on and so forth. i'll start with you, congressman. i know this is something you want to talk about, which is understandable, and then we'll do the yeah, but, after. >> i think it has been a great week for president biden. he took out the leader of al qaeda, he's on the verge of passing his storic legislation to lower your healthcare costs, invest in fighting climate change, also address the deficit. so it has been a fantastic week. we have gotten a lot done in the two years with extremely narrow majorities. and you know that. how difficult that is to work with. got a 50/50 senate, three-vote margin in the house and still able to get a lot done. we can get even more done and get more democrats elected after this november. >> he has a point. >> some of the stuff on your list, i think, had good solid bipartisan support. some of the stuff i would hesitate to call a win. this bill they're passing today, they named it the inflation reduction act, and even bernie sanders went do

a lot of concerns about this spending bill and taxing bill as well. >> of course, the white house bring out their series of experts and the republicans bring out theirs. each one conflict with each other. i must say some of their -- the people that they bring out like mark sandy have it dead wrong on inflation the past 1 1/2 years. back in june, 2021, he wrote by the fall or end of the year, prices will be coming back to earth. well, from the time he wrote that to the end of the year, inflation went up 40% from 5% up to 7.5%. so they -- their experts very often gets it wrong. the bottom line, americans don't want it. the pop-up polls show americans don't believe the rhetoric that this will decrease inflation. some of the people support the bill say it's not going to do anything for inflation over the next five years. so what are americans supposed to do for five years? twiddle their thumbs as they go to the grocery store and can't buy as much as they used to? >> charles: i remember when build back better was on the table. they did the surveys. polls from "washington post," abc, cnn poll

but it is disturbing that whenever a bill is presented, they bundle in other bills. just put one bill with one thing in there and that we can avoid all this nonsense. as far as republicans, and there are some democrat politicians -- they are the worst of all human beings. they always use the veterans when they take photos to get into some political office, but they are careless about these veterans. to think that people have to be publicly disgraced in order to pass a bill -- my father was in the military for 26 years, and he was treated like garbage. . he was not a disabled veteran, but after he got out, it was so hard for him to get benefits. these politicians should be ashamed. they are the worst of the worst human beings. they have no problem sending these men to war to fight for whatever reason they want, but when it is time to take care of them, they don't want to do it. i am very happy this bill got passed, and hopefully no other servicemember should ever have to go through this again. host: well, it has not passed yet, it is slated for a vote this week, but i

- bill to help your average american citizen? there are all kinds of incentives. _ american citizen? there are all kinds of incentives. for - kinds of incentives. for example, support for purchasing electric cars, supports for improving energy efficiency, and something that's very important about these incentives — they're guaranteed for ten years. the us has a �*s history at a national level. so this guaranty is really important and provides certainty. there's a long list of sectors that stand to benefit from the bill's incentives. even agricultural. i was really amazed that that was... and do so by offering benefits and incentives. it's very interesting, we are in a moment lost with many politicians. coal use for electricity has declined over the past 15 years or so, and coal plants will continue to close. we're in a situation where one of the factors that helps us build get over the finish line is that now renewables and coal are neck and neck. another interesting feature about the bill and one that i think helped slam ope

i'll connect really and bill barr, no pretty well i see the book of there's no evidence that bill barr actually did that naturally got involved with ukraine but is not a good look for the edgy with the president just casually thinks of you as a rudy in the federal payroll. >> of course and part of that i think into this question as well is that there are a lot of things not just in your book but beyond a lot of situations that are actually involved in and situations that he could've gotten involved in that he did not and i think that this question from tina is when you were writing this book, was bill barr given that book to comment on this book. did you reach out to him and if not, has he reach out to you directly to express his dismay. >> i'm really glad that question was asked for it yes my reached out twice in writing to bill barr and his team and i was forthcoming and i said, look at writing this book and i said it's all hatchet man and is very critical however, i be more than happy to come in and sit down with did attorney general and interview him and hear his perspective and th

the bill. it is better to say here is no process at all. this bill has not gone through any committee and is the product of a back room the association between two democratic senators. business as far from regular order as one can get. that a single house member has had any substantive and in this bill and the same could be said for all but a small handful of senators. much like the infrastructure bill, this bill is -- having been left with a take it or leave it offer -- i am appalled that the majority is once again choosing to take it. i want it to -- to remind you something you said. the legislation proposed today is a case in point. this bill is lousy. to see why, let's talk about the policies. far and away the most dangerous part of the bill is the recovery taxes. there is a massive text increase -- tax increase. despite the majority of these point -- claims to the contrary, these new taxes will follow every taxpayer and the irs will focus on different taxpayers. policies like these are bad

we have before us a bill that is too expensive to afford. it's been thrown together behind closed doors in secret. perfectly branded to prey on the struggles, the fears of the american people because after all, fearful people are easier to control. and what do we know? the democratic party, they are all about control and they're all about power. now, i remembered that this isn't the first time in the schumer senate that the democrat colleagues have tried to turn a crisis into an opportunity. a little over a year ago, they pulled the exact same bait and switch with a $1.9 trillion american rescue plan. senator graham talked about this before. it was to bring oh so much prosperity. it was to solve all of your problems. help was on the way. but it was a big government b blowout in the form of $350 billion in the slush fund for blue cities. a state tax cut ban, a $60 billion tax hike, subsidized government health care, and a union pension bailout. now, mr. president, it is pretty clear who the democrats were trying to rescue with that bill. and

this bill responds. and it responds consistent with the desires of the american people and will bring down the cost of energy for americans by investing in developing and deploying cleaner, more sustainable energy technologies like electric vehicles and solar panels. at the same time we're doing it without raising the deficit. in fact, the legislation reduces the deficit by closing loopholes so the largest corporations would profit -- with profits over $1 billion will pay a minimum tax rate of just 15%. now the rate is 21%. on corporations. but if they get over $1 billion, they're going to pay at least 15%. why? because we protect their shipping lanes with our navy. we protect their roads that they transport goods across. they get a lot from their taxes. just as we all do. maybe that's why the republicans don't like this bill. that is well below the regular 21% tax, as i said, and we do it all while ensuring that individuals and families earning less than $400,000 a year won't see a single tax increase.

if bills are going up, bills are going up. unfortunately, electricity prices are tied to gas, steel, and this isn't done at the supplier end, this is done back at the wholesaler and, so the minute that is de—linked, as electricity comes down, then heat pumps become very, very viable and people can start considering paying old prices then, especially if they insulate as well. more than 100,000 postal workers are going on strike this morning in a dispute over pay. it is the first of four days of industrial action, with walkouts also taking place on 31st august and the 8th more than 100,000 postal workers are going on strike this and 9th of september. royal mail says it has put contingency plans in place to minimise disruption. throughout this summer, we've been reporting on the increasing threat of avian flu to bird life in many parts of the uk. now there's concern in the channel islands, after hundreds of seabirds in alderney died in recent weeks. conservationists are preparing for a significant increase in reports of the flu

will bill pass? >> well, sure. we've been up all night, voting all night, i just ran other from the senate floor to join you for discussion, but the democrats to are on the verge of ramming through what really is a terrible bill. this bill will hammer manufacturing, it are kill manufacturing jobs in -- it will kill manufacturing jobs in this country. this bill will drive up gas prices. it has billions in new taxes on u.s. oil and gas production. we introduced amendments trying to take those new taxes out, so all the democrats say they're worried and want to lower gas prices, they all just voted to raise gas taxes and to raise your price at the pump. this bill creates 87,000 new irs agents. it doubles the size of the irs. those irs agents are designed to come after you. they're not designed to come after the billionaires and the big corporations, they're designed to come after small businesses and working families across this country. the democrats are making the irs bigger than the pentagon plus the department of s

the historic inflation reduction bill. we'll have more in a live report from dc make sure you stay with us. we'll be right back. up. researchers are saying the u.s. could see extreme heat conditions in parts of the country. >> by 2053 not too far away. the report released by the nonprofit research group first street foundation found extreme heat could affect more than 107 million people over the next 30 years. the group created this heat index of us look real close. you can see which shows which areas of the country are most likely to see extreme heat. researchers say stretch of the country from texas to great lakes could see temperatures of up to 125 degrees by 53. now the biggest jumps and temperatures were seen in florida. that state is expected to see twice as many days above 103 degrees. well, a spare. the air alert is in effect today. smoke from the fires burning in northern california are drifting into the bay area, bringing in poor air quality and small officials urge anyone with respiratory illness is to avoid goi

bill? >> bill: that's right. brutal crime here now, two girls gunned down more than a decade ago, father went on the run. said to be protected by his own family in these alleged honor killings of his two teenaged daughters. update on that trial. plus this -- don't want to be there when that's coming down. a terrifying storm rained down hail the size of grapefruits. where this massive barrage came down coming up. this is john. he hasn't worked this hard to only get this far with his cholesterol. taken with a statin, leqvio can lower bad cholesterol and keep it low with two doses a year. side effects were injection site reaction, joint pain, urinary tract infection, diarrhea, chest cold, pain in legs or arms, and shortness of breath. with leqvio, lowering cholesterol becomes just one more thing life throws your way. ask your doctor about leqvio. lower. longer. leqvio. >> tech: cracked windshield? don't wait. go to safelite.com lower. longer. you can schedule service in just a few clicks. it's so easy. and more cust

the wide-ranging bill would represent the largest climate bill in u.s. history, and provide $369 billion for climate, and clean energy provision, and getting some reaction in the bay area. marianne fabvo is looking at what it would do. >> we vote in the affirm to proceed. >> reporter: it would reduce emissions by 30% by 2030. the chairman of the sustainability commission crystal wichmann applauds the bill. >> i am beyond excited and thrilled to see this action coming out of the federal government. we have waited a long time for this. and so many advocates and ledge slay or th -- legislators have worked so hard to get this passed. >> reporter: but is it achievable? >> well, it is going the depend how long it takes to be implemented and how receptive the businesses and the public are willing to purchase the cars and get the government subsidy in return. >> reporter: the bill takes steps to reduce methane gas, and provides $30 million to produce solar paneling, and another $20 million in loans to create clean manufacturing facilities the across the midwest.

for farm bill programs. if they go down this road, we very well might be looking at reconciliation as the only way that future farm bills are actually written. whoever holds the pan has the fate for vital programs that farmers and ranchers depend on, not to mention nutrition programs that help low-income families and policies that allow conservationists to achieve our shared goals. we haven't had a single hearing on this bill. yet its agricultural title spends $40 billion, a huge amount allocated with no input from stakeholders, republicans, and quite frankly most democrats. the majority is extending conservation programs until 2031, well beyond the life of the next two farm bills. deliberately taking away congress' ability to change the focus of these programs or how they operate. the bill unilaterally creates a multibillion dollar slush fund for farm bill priorities shared by the president and his allies. that's a terrible idea for any legislation much less a bill that is historically written in a very bip

and this bill is now 739000000000 overall. i think, i think that's where it came out and you know, roughly, you know, 300000000000 has gone to deficit reduction. so it's a much smaller bill, but when it comes to these other social infrastructure elements, can the democratic party still look its constituents, industries, straight face and say we still delivered other than we failed? yes, because you have to look at the cumulative term of what we have delivered to the american rescue. pled had and said so many people from losing their house losing being evicted from their apartment. the child tax credit said many people in the pet damage from poverty. you have the infrastructure bell, which is going to start to rebuild the a lot of the lead remove the lead from water way is going to start rebuilding a lot of our airports or bridges in community, please across the country, including communities of color, rural america, disadvantage communities you have the chipset, which is going to bring new manufacturing and new jobs. 4 in blue

bill is not a republican bill. the bill called the inflation reduction act is a slimmed down version of president biden's 3 trillion dollar bill back better bill that fell apart last year after manchin said he didn't support it. we've taken 3.5 trillion of spending down to 400 billion of investing. the new bill includes nearly 370 billion dollars in energy and climate spending. 300 billion in deficit reduction. it extends subsidies for affordable care act. premiums for 3 years allows medicare to negotiate the price of prescription drugs and imposes a 15% corporate minimum tax on the nation's largest corporations. all of this spending isn't necessary and goings at surveyed inflation. but republicans, including pennsylvania senator pat toomey say the tax proposals included in the democrats bill would do more harm than good. they're also not taking into account how much our economy will slow down from this big corporate tax increase that will mostly hurt manufacturing and domestic investment. democrats are hoping to p

for this bill for promise of permitting reform that's not in the bill that will happen after the bill by the end of september. christensen what is more transparent voting for it because it took up the provision for the wealthiest donor for her. it would be easy to hang this around this, but 50 are voting for it, we get a better perspective on this, you look at warnock going up against walker, i think herschel will do really well but georgia voters will vote for this. joe manchin has given a shield and so many arrows from the democratic party, i want a spending bill passed but i also don't like the idea of thinking they could hide behind him. at least we see true colors. >> you bring up the voters, alicia you were in arizona talking to voters connecting with people, i think it's obvious the reasons democrat are pushing this through is because the midterms are coming in, they've done nothing on inflation, is through the roof, they've done very little to bring down gas prices and they think this might help them as they had. what was the response from voters? >> it was interesting, have t

[background noises] >> hi i am bill bradley, i'm 6 feet 5 inches tall. i am bill bradley. i'm six feet five inches tall. i weigh 205 pounds. i have black hair and green eyes. i was born in st. louis, missouri. and i grew up in crystal city, missouri. a small town on the mississippi river. i went to college and princeton university where i studied history. and then oxford university, where i studied philosophy, politics and economics. i am 25 years old. i started playing basketball when i was nine years old, practicing 3-4 hours a day, five days a week. in high school, i played and all through college. when i finished the last game of my collegiate career, i thought i finished basketball. i had turned down a professional contract because i've been forced fortunate enough to get a road scholarship to go to school at oxford in england. and that's what i wanted to do. i looked at it as a chance to experience a wide variety of things. and basketball, i didn't feel it was that important. so i went to oxford in a studied and traveled. for about a year and a half, i played very li

you said you would support them in the bill, they're not currently in the bill. we know there's not gonna be another reconciliation process before the end of september. how are lawmakers like yourself going to address the child tax credit, childcare, elder care, that are not in this bill before the end of the year? >> well there's a bunch of things that are not in the bill that i love. for instance, i'm the chair of the transportation housing and urban development subcommittee. i really care about the housing piece that didn't make the cut. look, lots of things don't make the cut when you are not major legislation. this is not build back better. the way i look at this is i don't compare it to the bill that was introduced, or contemplated a year and a half ago. i compare it to where we were two weeks ago, which is, we were about to get nothing. and now, we're about to get not just something, but something extraordinarily significant for millions and millions of americans. the first major climate action that the federal government has really ever taken. >> i agree

this bill, the passing of this bill, improve their chances come november. it sula and other democrats really have had a, have had really rocky poll numbers. but joe biden has said, actually several huge legislative wins in the last month. obviously, this climate bill. but earlier, the one trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill as well, but his problem is that it will take maybe years before the average american will feel any positive outcome of this bills. but what they feel right now is the skyrocketing a gas prices, the inflation rate. and by the end of the day, these might be the issues which will be be the, the decision makers when it comes to the midterm elections in november. the w. washington birch is in as poll reporting in ukraine is calling for a demilitarized zone around europe's biggest nuclear power station. ukraine accuses russia of shelling these apparition plants, russia denies attacking it. keith meanwhile, says artillery strength damage radiation sensors and injured a worker ahead of the united nations. antonia, with that, it has warned t

the deadline to decide the bill was today. governor newsom decided not to sign the rights, i have long supported harm reduction strategies, however i am acutely concerned about supervised injection sites without long-term sustainability plans. why the flip? we asked our political analyst if it is related to a run for president in 2024. >> it's a good thing for the governor, because he is a very sizable lead in this race. >> lawmakers who sponsored the bill vowed to keep fighting for these safe injection sites and one lawmaker said it will be possible for a nonprofit to operate these sites without the governor's permission. >>> we are following a shooting that happened in oakland that started out as an argument. the man who died was a 35-year- old oakland resident. a 65-year-old man was also hurt. police say that more than 40 rounds were shot, and the suspected gunman is under arrest. >>> in fairfield, a confrontation between a man and the person he was arguing with and did in gunfire. two officers approached robert wilson, who
