she got elected, she showed up in washington and handed her voting card to chuck schumer and said chuck, and has him decide what is good for nevada and bad for nevada. let me tell you about four amendments i offered and how your senator voted. last year i offered an moment when the democrats were sending stimulus checks across this country. i sit here is an amendment. let's not send federal taxpayer stimulus checks to every illegal alien in america. we voted on the senate floor and it failed by one vote. 50-50. the deciding vote was catherine cortez masto. had she voted yes, we would not have sent millions of dollars of taxpayer money to millions of illegal aliens, but she decided she works for the illegal aliens and not for the men and women of nevada. we had another amendment. that i introduced that said all right, let's not send stimulus checks to criminals. to criminals in jail. currently incarcerated criminals, we voted on the senate floor. the vote was 50-50, it failed by one vote. catherine cortez masto was the deciding vote behind sending millions of your taxpayer dollars to mur

now, i am pleased to introduce senate majority leader chuck schumer. [applause] >> thank you, representative clyde burn for that introduction, and i want to thank you, president biden, for inviting us to the white house today. thanks to my colleagues here today. this has been one of the most productive stretches in senate history, from the first -- safety bill in decades, to strengthening nato, to outcompeting the chinese communist party to taking care of our veterans, and to top it all off, we celebrate a groundbreaking achievement, the most important bill we have passed in a long time. president biden will sign the inflation reduction act into law today! [cheers and applause] i am confident this bill will endure as one of the greatest legislative feats in decades. it will lower costs, create millions of good-paying jobs, and is the boldest climate bill ever. now, in normal times, getting these bills done would be a huge achievement. but to do it now, with only 50 democratic votes in the senate over an intransigent republican minority, is nothing shor

he's been negotiating with chuck schumer on the inflation reduction act and the final agreement was made in a zoom call. democrats say the bill would reduce the deficit by $300 billion, revenue would come from a minimum corporate tax rate, expanded irs tax enforcement and by tightening the so-called carried interest loophole that benefits some investment managers. the bill would also make the largest investment in fighting climate change in u.s. history. nearly $370 billion will go to new tax credits for renewable forms of electricity, electric vehicles and grants to automakers to increase efficiency. on healthcare, the bill would keep the affordable care act premiums from increasing and cap out of pocket prescription drug costs for medicare recipients at $2,000 per year. medicare will also be able to directly negotiate prices with drug companies, reducing costs. we go now to west virginia democrat joe manchin. senator, welcome. i hope you're feeling better from the covid. let me start with -- >> i am, john. thanks for having me.ieit. let me start with something you to said back in 2010

. >> remarks now from senate jordi chuck schumer during a briefing on capitol hill -- majority leader chuck schumer during a briefing on a vote on climate change come inflation, energy costs, and taxes. the leader said he secures the last vote after negotiating with democrat kyrsten sinema to remove the provision that would have closed a loophole used by hedge fund managers and others your this is just over 10 minutes." sen. schumer: good morning. happy saturday -- oh, it is friday. ok. well, we're doing pretty good. as no, for years, many in washington have promised to tackle some of the biggest challenges facing our nation, only to fall short. but with the inflation reduction act, the democratic led senate is delivering historic climate change legislation, lowering prices on prescription drugs, delivering lower energy costs, including your electric bill going down, and delivering on deficit reduction as well as taxes. this is a very big deal. i am pleased we have reached an agreement on inflation reduction, the inflation reduction act. and i believe this will -- let me say that agai

we know chuck schumer very proud of his staff. you are too. what pleases you the most about the outcome today? >> this is a huge win for the american people. this is an enormous step forward for making prescription drugs affordable, for making health care sustainable, for making an enormous down payment on tackling climate change, and for reducing the deficit. like senator schumer, i'd love to thank my staff, the folks who stayed here through so many hours. we've been voting for, oh, i think 25 or 26 hours straight now on dozens and dozens of amendments. as republicans in the senate tried every way they could to knock us off our commitment to pass this landmark legislation. but what i've been thinking about as we've been here all night is the ways this will help families who don't even know that we're here working on this, but who are wondering how they're going to pay for insulin if they're a diabetic, or for prescription medications for their parents or their children, how they're going to afford their health care, how they're going to make

>> think were going to get some news in the next hour for majority leader chuck schumer. we think we're going to have a vote to proceed to start on this bill sometime after 7:00 p.m. tonight. the early word here and capitol hill is maybe this passes between four and 8:00 a.m. majority leader chuck schumer said the senate will stay in session until they pass the bill. that locally comes over night or early sunday morning. some gop members claim democrats could show up to vote even if they have covid. >> note, and oh please. republicans are concerned about democrats showing up with covid? the republicans who would not wear masks? the republicans who tested positive and still showed up? i am telling you, they note no limits on their political damage. >> the bill takes a long time to pass, that is because an extended vote series, centers will vote on amendments one after another for this goes on for hours on end. republicans are threatening to drag this out. quick sooner or later members have either had their fill on their pet ideas, or they're facing a lot of irritation and

take a listen to what chuck schumer said earlier today. pushing back republican concerns over the tax increases. >> the inflation reduction act will not, no matter how much our republican colleagues argue will not increase taxes for any family making less than $400,000 a year. >> charles: sir, you went through the numbers. if you could speak to your colleague, what would you tell him right now? >> that's a poor pinocchio performance. the fact checkers say what he's saying is false. there are scorekeepers on capitol hill, the joint committee on taxation being one of them, which is the one that sets the standard, the gold standard. it's not me. it's not senator schumer. the facts will speak for themselves. this idea that this massive tax increase will just somehow be absorbed by corporate america when they will pass the costs along to consumers and make inflation worse. this is really a pig in the poke. i home senator sinema and our other democratic colleagues say no. >> charles: in the last few days, i've seen recordings of president bill c

how do you plan to take down chuck schumer? >> remind people of the fact whether right of donald trump's fingerprints on everything that has gone wrong in politics. forty-two years of man has been in congress, six before that in the new york state assembly and has gained power in her name the only person it has helped is charles. we are here to tell the untold story of new york to remind people what happens down in dc impacts every single person that this is an abnormal state of affairs in the land of the free and the home of the brave and you cannot have an open border on the southern border and expect we will have an america that is promised. we tell everyone across the country to get behind the recent help spread the word and if we do that we will make sure come november 8 charles schumer will have to find his first job in his entire life. maria: it is interesting. with this entire hour we have talked about all the fires of this country that need to be put out from the economy teetering on recession, to wide open border and

and we got chuck schumer, we just heard. they're saying that this is the boldest climate baggage in history, saying that we've changed the world, but i decided to crunch the numbers here. the part of the legislation aimed at finding climate change is funded by an amount that is not even 5 percent of the annual us defense budget. so is congress throwing peanuts at climate change? i? well i understand that it is kind of appealing to compare these 2 figures as one could say actually fighting the climate climate catastrophe is also a huge battlefield. but brent, i think we have to be fair here. the original bills, beg better, bland, was a little over a trillion dollars, but it was never going to happen with this congress and how politicized the political institutions are these days here in the united states. so the, as for the 1st time is making real investments in combating climate change. and i think at least this is the beginning. yeah. in this environment you make very good point. you know, we should be glad that we're getti

they talked to him a little bit, but it was really chuck schumer. schumer deserves enormous credit here. he kept the lines of communication open with manchin, and then once he had manchin, he was able to focus on sinema and address her concerns about taxation. schumer deserves an enormous amount of credit here. you have to give chuck schumer a lot of props for working his members. that's what he does. he may not be the greatest floor leader in history, but he's damn good with his members. >> yeah. hey, mike allen, tell me, what's happened over the past couple weeks? can you put it into perspective? i go back to reagan's early days in the early part of his administration, passing a lot of bills. when is the last time we have seen so much legislation get through, especially in this very, very partisan washington, d.c. environment? >> that's right, joe. we could debate whether biden was trying to be more like lbj or fdr, but they both had such better congressional majorities than he did. so this was a real henry ending, who switched before the midterms

how do you plan to take down chuck schumer? >> i mean, look, we have to remind people of the fact that whether you're left of bernie sanders or right of donald trump, his fingerprints are on everything that's gone wrong in our body politic today. 42 years this man has been in congress, 6 years before that in the new york state assembly. he has gained power in our name. we're here to tell the untold story of new york, to remind people what happens down in d.c. impacts every single person that a calls this nation home, that this is an abnormal state of affairs here in the land of the free system and home of the -- free and the home of the brave, and you can't have an open border. we're telling everyone across this country to get behind this race to help spread the word that we can send the tip of the spear packing. and if we do that, we're going to make sure that come november 8th charles ellis schumer's going to have to go find his fist job in his entire life. manufacture r. maria: more we've been talking this entire hour about

that's chuck schumer reaction, but let's get some business reaction from our correspondence at the new york stock exchange, jens quarter yann's love to have you on the program. just explain to us how this reduction act is going down on wall street. yeah. especially in certain industries in certain sectors. we did see a stock price on the move from on one side. for example, we did not see pharmaceutical companies, some shaking in their boots as it is probably going to take a couple of years before the government can start to negotiate the price. this for some group scription drug, some other effects. you mentioned the industry that's going to probably happen sooner. so you saw a companies like test like ruby and a but also traditional carmakers like general motors so far to are also entering more and more into the business where the stock increased. and then also you have the producer of solar panels, for example, fuel cell companies. so all of those were on the rise here in the monday session. there really is also in this bill is a now you've got to for the climate goes to the health c

if chuck schumer has another vote, we are in serious trouble next year. i also want to caution, this is a 50 state battle. we have some states that are already protecting unborn children, many states are just waiting for the legislature to come back into session, we are seeing, opponents are well organized, well-funded, we so what happened in kansas. they're going to go after every state. in south dakota, if they certify the wording, they are already planning to collect petitions to have a ballot -- a measure on the ballot in 2024 to override with the state legislature has done because they want to take it to the people, thinking they will win. that is going to happen in all 50 states. if you come from a state that you think is conservative, pro-life, expect some activity like that. do not take anything for granted. >> i want to give it to you. on the medical side, there are things that are emerging. talked about the dangers of that. >> the pill. why not just take this bill? it's easier, cleaner. i just read that half of the abortions now are through the

schumer. really interesting reporting from politico. i was reading this through the lens of wanting to be on the record, i think president biden is running, because not running -- and that people involved in the planning of his campaign -- that step four biden, potential political rivals inside and out. he's no lame duck, meaning getting squashed at the midterms, there will be blood in the water, announced this quickly. >> >> i do not want joe biden to run again. >> i think he has that time to become president, and once you do, do you really give up that power? this is great politics. you have to announce right away. it's harder for kamala harris and other effective candidates to announce against a sitting president. then, the question becomes what the press does. they are accurate and fair. continue to cover for him and run for reelection, or they push him out for someone else to step in. >> really interesting line from politico. that's the hardest race, track and field. an early move for the

schumer. manchin's campaign also takes a massive amount of money we have learned from green energy groups. these groups do not care about the people of west virginia and neither does the transportation secretary, pothole pete buttigieg, jeannie is that he is. his solution for all those people struggling to put gas in their car? just buy a $60,000 electric vehicle. and to sweeten the deal maker pete is promoting a tax incentive to those wealthy enough to buy the $60,000 brand-new car. take a look for yourself. speak of the best thing we can do is for the medium and long term make sure that americans have more options through greater fuel efficiency and vehicles that don't require gasoline at all so americans don't have to worry about what is happening in some middle eastern capital or foreign war zone. i'm excited about the electric vehicle provisions. what this will do is reduce the price of tax credits and if you see the lower sticker price you are also going to be saving money for every day

senator majority leader chuck chuck schumer wants to vote on the spending bill, getting the green light from joe manchin. will it slash prices? >> carley: cheryl casone is here. >> cheryl: the inflation reduction act may need a new name, according to the nonpartisan group, it is going to do nothing of the sort to put inflation in check. this bill will raise taxes on people earning between 2 and 500,000. "wall street journal" get at the heart of the misguidid legislation, writing this issue reality is chuck schumer manchin bill is tax increase on nearly every american. if kyrsten sinema want to sign up for this tax ball and chain, they will be responsible for the economic consequences. new tax on workers is unlikely to be a winner. you spoke with two moms last hour about the effect of the tax hike on their budgets, listen to this. >> it is just another blow, in 2010, everyone said you don't raise taxes in a recession, here we are. >> it would be devastating to so many, not just the middle class, the lower class will feel the burden. >> cheryl: remember joe biden promised you would not pa

saying this, after a compromise deal was worked out between joe manchin and majority leader chuck schumer on climate change and before that, notable achievements on semiconductor production, gun control and infrastructure. is joe biden showing that governing from the middle as possible?>> i think he's doing the best he can under the circumstances and there are some changes, you just did them often those of the changes but they are a lot less than i think democrats wanted and a lot less frankly in some areas than the majority of americans wanted, think about gun control and climate change, we see movement but i don't think it is what frankly americans expected when they elected a democrat to the white house, democrats control the house and the senate, so joe biden is governing from the center in 2022, which means giving concessions and getting in a lot of areas frankly incremental change. >> and he said being a big tent party is hard but in a large diverse country of 359 people, it's the only way to gain working majorities in denver rats are now better positioned than republicans to achiev

why support anything chuck schumer, joe biden, nancy pelosi or john kerry want for coal? that is what the people are asking joe manchin. why, why, why? it is incomprehensible, they say, by any minor will support the legislation. that is the impact of folks at home that joe manchin is not paying attention to at all. what is the money going to be used for? well, there is the climate slush funds. there are the sorts of things that joe biden ought to be familiar with. when he was vice president there was a thing called -- ways to government money. many projects. they will be loaded into this bill as well under the grand title of one big climate slush fund. then there are all these subsidies for electric vehicles. enter reach people. you earn up to $300,000 a year for family, full subsidy. electric vehicle costing $80,000. that is what we're looking at here. at a time when families are hurting, inflation is eating in the people's paychecks, people are concerned about their future. even if wages are going up a little, they are falling further and further behind because because

and a very relieved chuck schumer. alden meyer is senior associate of e36, a london based climate change think take. he was director of the union of concerned scientists up until 2020 and has been heavily involved in climate change negotiation for decades even before the first rio summit. he is escaping the heat of washington and joins us now from lake huron ontario. thank you very much indeed for joining us. isn't everything that chuck schumer says it is? is it that good eight bill? it is ahistorical, the largest single action the united states congress has ever taken on climate change. to put it in perspective, it is 4— five times the magnitude of the $90 billion clean energy investment that president 0bama got through the congress and his economic recovery plan in 2009. it moves as well toward the paris target that president biden submitted last year to cut emissions by 50% by the year 2030. all the analysis shows that it will not get us all the way that we still have work to do with federal obligatory authorities

i am pleased to introduce chuck schumer. [applause] >> thank you representative clyde burn for that -- representative james clyburn and thank you for inviting us to the white house today. this has been one of the most productive stretches in senate history from the first gun safety bill in decades to strengthening nato, to competing the chinese communist party, do taking care of our veterans. to top it all off, we celebrate a groundbreaking achievement, the most important bill we have passed in a long time, president biden will sign the inflation reduction act into law today! [no audio] [applause] i am confident this bill will indoor as one of the greatest -- endure as one of the greatest bills in decades, it will create millions of good paying jobs and is the boldest climate bill ever. in normal times to getting these bills done would be a huge achievement. -- eight normal times getting these bills done would be a huge achievement. doing this over a republican minority shows how dedicated and persistent our caucus is. i wan

chuck schumer said let me deal with manchin. let me do this. let's keep it clean, two people. >> it was very deliberate. we saw this during the gun reform legislation that they were able to get together and pass. you know, ron klain signalled this back in january. he told "the wall street journal" then in an interview that what they learned from their first year was the less they talk about negotiations and the less they talk about biden is talking this member of congress or that senate, the better it turns out because it brings more republicans to the table. it also keeps these negotiations sort of private so that people can sort of hash it out. biden having been a senator knew that himself so i think he knew when he needed to step away. >> i think it's fair to say, though, that biden tried and failed to close this deal. if they didn't want to be blamed for him not being able to close the deal before, they can't take credit for him closing it now. >> the white house after not wanting to talk about whether the president was or was involved in n

host: chuck schumer yesterday. it is the inflation reduction act expected to be voter -- voted on by the end of this week. here are some of the provisions. it would allow medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices. it would extend affordable care act subsidies through the year of 2025. it would get some $370 billion for private change. -- climate change. new funding to expand irs enforcement. you heard from senate majority leader chuck schumer. this is the statement from senate minority leader mitchell, from that period. he said, "the last time democrats decided to remake the party on economy lines, they let to the inflation -- rough inflation in 40 years. democrats have proven they do not care about middle-class family priorities. they spent hundreds of billions of dollars to prove it. for working americans, they have failed --." referring to the upcoming 2022 elections. some headlines from political media. breitbart.com, the headlines " republicans more -- warned that democrats will pay the price" the huffing

[applause] it is sunday, and my mama wanted a preacher. you are the congregation today. i got to preach the word today. the only grassley i like better than chuck grassley is misses grassley. [applause] thank you. thank you. i knew that this was the right state when i went to my first fundraiser for chuck grassley and he said, "are you going to eat?" i said, i was thinking about it. he said, it will cost you $18. he is cheap. send that man to the u.s. senate! [laughter] and your governor. kim reynolds. i have been working on the issue of school choice for eight years, and your governor is going to get it done in 2023. [applause] because every child in every zip code deserves quality education. and your governor is committed to it. i know one thing for sure, every child in america deserves good education. and kim reynolds is the champion

chuck schumer is hoping to resolve that issue by offering them two amendment votes. but some democrats say the real reason republicans didn't vote for this last week is they're upset over an unrelated deal that democrats made on a health care and climate change bill. and meanwhile, white house officials, as well as comedian jon stewart have been railing against senate republicans for playing politics, saying they're costing these sick veterans precious time, and that time is of the essence here. despite the drama, we are expecting the bill to pass at some point this week, with or without the changes that republicans are seeking, kate. >> we'll see. melanie, thank you very much for that. jo joining me now is matt zeller, a senior adviser for iraq and afghanistan veterans of america. good to see you, matt. thank you for being here. you've been on the senate steps for days. do you think this is going to get done despite the setbacks? what does it mean if this falls apart. >> simply put, veterans are going to die. we know of two veterans that killed themselves because of

he had chuck schumer's report. he had "the new york times." this is not a surprise. >> this is all you need. >> yi don't know if that's all you need. but he also has a great record as an incumbent, as does carolyn maloney. >> who steps up in terms of the chair of the oversight? it's a pretty powerful position. democrats have to think about what's happening next, right? >> i'm not sure who takes that role because she was -- to carolyn maloney's credit, which is really ironic that is redistricting, she was a champion for the census. she did so much in the state of new york in 2020 to make sure that every single person, not just in her home state but in the country, was counted. and now redistricting is the thing that gets her booted from her seat. so i thank her for all the work that she has done, but we'll see who takes that seat. >> does that validate it for you, this idea of the notion you were alluding to before, the sort of identity crisis of where the democrats want to be, the idea of a younger generation, more progressive. nadler obviousl

but one of my key questions to senate majority leader chuck schumer a few minutes ago was, okay, you have senator sinema on board, is it smooth sailing from here. this is what he said. >> look, they're going to do lots of amendments. we don't know what else they will do, but i am -- as i said, i believe we will have 50 votes to pass this legislation at the end of the day. >> reporter: and, frankly, chris, that is all that they need. they need all 50 democrats to march in lock step on this and then the vice president, kamala harris, to come in and break the tie or in this case just go by simple majority and they will be able to do it. at this point it looks like they have all 50 democrats. the question is what happens when it comes to amendment votes that might come up. these are not necessarily clean political votes. republicans may try to not only draw this process out but also try to force democrats to take positions during that amendment vote period that could be a little bit politically difficult for them to defend, especially in some of those tight senate races that we're watchi

chuck schumer claims that trump administration audited the lower brackets. that's misleading and the inspector general of the irs says a quarter of earned income tax is loaded with fraud, it's fraudulent and the irs is mandatessed to go after that. mandated for that and it's misleading the american people. >> what we did for the tax cuts and jobs act makes it simpler and people needed to go through h and r block and help prepare tear taxes and you're going to have less requirements for audits and we made the tax code simpler and it was better for small businesses and those types of audits already occurred and some of the gaming going on in the system and for the large part it's going to be the big taxpayers. liz: congresswoman tenny from new york, thanks for joining us. good to see you. >> thanks so much. liz: coming up, dolly and jenny lenz on rainbows and sunshine for home buyers and is this a housing recession a broader downturn before the midterm. the fiery debate with the fbi affidavit released today on the raid of trump's home and one justification pop

majority leader chuck schumer says they will begin the formal process of passing the inflation reduction act within hours. cnn's jessica dean is on capitol hill. jessica? >> reporter: hi, fredericka. the senate is now in session. they've made their way through the first of two votes that are just in the nomination process, essentially they're to get all 50 senate democrats here. we're looking for them to start this whole process in a matter of hours. the big question mark is when exactly will they do that. we don't quite know. they're waiting on a couple of things. you mentioned the senate parliamentarian. they're using a specialized budget process to move forward. they only need democratic senate support to get it through the senate but in order to use that process they have to make sure, they have to go through the parlia parliamentarian to finish. so they're waiting on a few more rulings from her and also waiting from the congressional budget office on how much some of these provisions will cost and how they will affect the deficit. once they have all that have in place, senate democr

so now what we're expecting is for chuck schumer to go to the senate floor and make some remarks and begin this first step. they're using a special budget process. the first step will be a motion to receive that requires just a simple majority. all 50 senate democrats are on board. that will really kick things off and it will be 20 hours of debate on both sides up to 20 hours of debate. then they go into something called a votorama. hours and hours of voting on amendments before final passage. the bottom line here is we are moving forward after really languishing during the day. but we see this moving forward. it remains to be seen exactly how long this will take, but we expect for this to pass through the senate within the next several many hours. could go into the early morning hours of tomorrow. again, jim, just reminding people a little bit about what's in this bill. the biggest investment in climate provisions that's ever come out of the u.s. senate in this. they also have some healthcare provisions that would extend affordable care act subsidies and allow medicare to negotiate

chuck schumer says he is bringing it back to the floor for about. welcome back, we are an open forum for 30 minutes this morning. you can talk about any policy issue on your mind. republicans, 202-748-8000. democrats, 202-748-8001. all the papers last night, the president highlighting a drone strike to successfully kill al qaeda's leader, who took over for osama bin laden when he was killed during the biden administration. the president says he was deeply involved in the planning of 9/11 attacks and the mastermind behind attacks of embassies in africa. >> for years, under president bush, obama and trump, our community located him earlier this year and moved to downtown kabul to reunite with members of his immediate family. after carefully considering the clearly can mentioned evidence of his location, i authorized a precision strike that would remove him from the battlefield once and for all. this mission was carefully planned and rigorously minimize the risk of harm to other civilians, and one week ago, after being advised that the conditions were
