laura: i don't think i ever heard senator cassidy talk so loudly to democrat. congressman jim banks of the republican study committee blasted this infrastructure bill. congressman, 17 gop senators, mitch mcconnell, romney, all these guys in the senate, very well respected in the business community. why was senator kennedy wrong? >> this bill is twice as long as the bible. there is the senator that read the bible cover to cover for the last 24 hours. we 19 senator cassidy said he read it with his staff. >> hard for me to believe anyone read the bible cover to cover. they didn't read this book cover to cover. a lot of concerns in the memo we released to our members a little bit ago. my biggest concern is do the math with me, go back to january where they passed the covid relief bill and look today at what that has done to inflation. high street inflation since 1991. do the math with this, trillion dollar infrastructure deal, $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill nancy pelosi says the infrastructure bill will not pass her house without the reconciliation bill passing

. >> thank you, cassidy. guys, this has only been the first hour. you should see what's happening backstage. in the beginning of the show we were crying with andrea and the philharmonic and jennifer. now after carlos and rob thomas, everybody is dancing. listen, that's just in the first hour. we're just getting started. oh, i can't wait, you guys have a treat tonight. but now, this is somebody we thought you should meet. this is johnny g. they know you, johnny g. very nice, very nice. johnny has a hot dog carton 46th and broadway for 40 years. he's part of new york's backbone. we all know people like that. he took a corner and he built a life. and now we build our recovery on that. johnny, we thank you. we thank you for being part of new york. johnny wants you to know the hot dogs are open for business on 46th and broadway. don't you want them to know that? what do you want to say? >> i'm ready. we are back. and i will be waiting for everyone. >> all right. [ applause ] as someone in this section right here said, johnny g! i just met johnny five min

i'm talking mitch mcconnell, roy blunt, mitt romney, lindsey graham, senator cassidy, and others. they all supported biden's 2700 page so-called phony infrastructure bill that's paving the way for a tandem consideration of the $3.5 trillion behemoth budget bill. hello, inflation. hello, higher taxes. and less regulation, new entitlement, and goodbye, fiscal responsibility. it is a total evocation. i am sickened by what the republicans have done. now speaking of advocating. what is happening at the southern border is worthy of impeachment. they're a bit more encounters they are this year populations of eight u.s. states. and governors in nonborder states are being kept in the dark. do you know how many migrants have been shipped to florida? are you given any notice? >> no notice, they do not tell us, we have to do -- investigations, but they do fly people in unaccompanied minors. >> laura: we've arrived at a point that kind of reminds me of another time in the not-so-distant past where the obama administration was also up to no good. >> this is america, how many of you people want

what created the stresses and the hostility that pushed cassidy to kill my friends. >> nine vta employees were shot and killed when their coworker opened fire in may. we reached out to vta for a response but have not heard back tonight. >>> unprecedented move today has results of the drought emergency water levels at lake oroville, they are so low right now one of the three power plants had to be shutdown. that is because there is not enough water to spin the turbines and generate electricity. energy experts say the loss of power can be replaced by increasing the use of natural gas and importing electricity from other states. >>> we go from that to our weather. we will not get more water. we will get wind and heat. >> and smoke to go along with it. let's start with the air quaility and how -- air quality and how it will change. we took a look at the ground level smoke. this simulates the smoke through the whole depth of the atmosphere. not just the ground level that we breathe just what you will see. the haze in the air. we anticipate plenty of haze throughout the day on friday and that l

senator cassidy tried to debate me on this. sorry he ended up looking like a fool. your response. >> this is just insane, laura. we are trying to win back majorities in the house and the senate, how do you do that when republicans act like democrats? how do we convince the american people to vote to give republicans trust once again to lead? when they see stuff like this happen today. we know that inflation is on the rise. the price of everyday goods cost more, and real wages are declining. america is only going to get worse because of this deal and it's a travesty that republicans would go along with it. also you have to recognize that the same republican senators that went along with this infrastructure deal that only 9% of it is actually infrastructure, the same republican senators that denied donald trump and infrastructure deal the cost half of this that half of it went in for structure, they wouldn't let him accomplish it under donald trump squad, what are they there with democrats and give joe biden a win? >> laura: nancy pelosi, the speaker the house, reacte

. >> senator bill cad cassidy of hard hit louisiana says he disagrees with ron desantis. we'll look at where the virus is spret spreading the most and the toll it is taking on hospitals. plus how the new rise in covid is impacting the economy. we saw a strong jobs report on friday but not everyone is feeling the recovery. and former president barack obama throws a birthday bash that's raising eyebrows as the pandemic makes a comeback. we'll talk to a new york times reporter about the details of that. plus taliban fighters have captured three key cities. >>> and we'll go to tokyo. where the united states edged out china for the most gold medals. >>> good morning and welcome to "morning joe," it is august 9th. joe is off. we begin with the united states hitting a milestone amid a surge in covid cases. more than 165 million americans are now fully vaccinated against the virus. that's half of the total u.s. population. more than 193 million have received at least one dose. vaccination rates are still low in several states across the south. but

there's so excited predict and watch the skype cassidy, the most appalling think that i've uever seen. from louisiana, they're very self-righteous, these 18 republicans about how important this is that we have shown we are bipartisan. the democrats appear there about 5 percent or not, they have reconciliations and lined up to go baby, this is just part of a strategy for them and they play sure ball and they play longer ball, will i think our guys from the left field the stands. i don't even think they have the foggiest idea what is going on and they certainly don't have the guts to fight it. money ask youhe about this. something within the republican party, just something need to happen. we are facing the most radicalized of a party lifetime, and i would say in the last hundred years and i would say everrs actually. and i don't think the republicans are up to this in the sand and i would be interested in your taken we will be right back. fasenra is a different kind of asthma medication. it's not a steroid or inhaler. fasenra is an add-on treatment for asthma driven by eosinophils. it'

from within, and the republicans act like it's another day, so they are so excited -- watch this guy cassidy on -- it was the most appalling thing i have ever seen, from louisiana and the others. they are very self-righteous, these 18 republicans about how important this is, and we've shown we're bipartisan. you know, the democrats don't care if they're bipartisan or not. they got reconciliation. they are lined up to go, baby. this is just part of a strategy for them. they play short ball. they play long ball. well, i think our guys are in the left field stance. i don't think they have the foggiest idea what's going on, and they certainly don't have the guts to fight it. i want to ask you about this, does something within the republican party, does something need to happen? i mean, we're facing the most radicalized democrat party in my lifetime, i would say in the last hundred years, i would say period, actually, and i don't think the republicans are up to this in the senate. i'd be interested in your take. we will be right back. what? it looks like a face. ...hearing about it 24/7 is painfu

louisiana senator bill cassidy today revealing more than a dozen of his gop colleagues are showing support for the measure. joining me now, a member of the senate budget and appropriations committee. senator, good to see you. how close are we to a done deal on the bipartisan bill? >> alicia, it's great to be with you. well, in about half an hour we will vote on what is called the substitute amendment, which is essentially the entire infrastructure modernization bill. then under our rules, if the opposition wants they can continue to debate for another 30 hours. we hope they won't take up all that time, because after the vote tonight assuming we get the super majority, no changes can be made to the bill. so essentially it will be a done deal in substance, but hopefully we will wrap it up certainly no later than very early tuesday morning. >> there's not a lot of weekends where i have a puppy cam on the u.s. senate floor for the entire show to see whether or not that vote will be taken. earlier this week -- last week the senate passed an amendment you have been pushing which includes secure

torqued off by what his colleagues did including by the way they louisiana junior senator colleague bill cassidy said he wanted to come on tonight, so again, he will be with us shortly. there is a heck of a lot of good news out there too, namely democrats are poised for a massive drought to next year. axial reporting that inflation, rising crime, and the border search or positioning republicans for even bigger midterm gains than they would imagine just months ago. and let's not forget, biden's handling of covid. he allowed the peasants to celebrate july 4th, but that was short-lived. one early salvation for democrats, their handling of the coronavirus pandemic is turning into a liability as a delta variant start in school reopening's, a return to mask mandates and a new wave of shutdowns. so now under biden it is back to doom and gloom 24/7. >> you should assume that we are going to see pediatric intensive care units all across the south come completely overwhelmed, and some even a possibility of small intensities of sick adolescentsd kids. >> laura: those ten cities on the border. and of course

but this infrastructure bill contrary to what senator cassidy said on this program is going to pave the way to the 3.5-trillion dollars permanent entitlement nightmare that is the squad's dream legislation. they are happy with it. what does this do-or-die -- do to the republican party. why are these 17 senators doing this? >> it's horrible for the brand. it was not long ago before both parties would have recoiled at the idea of a 1.2-trillion dollars spending bill. they came the 550-million dollars is paid for. it's not. that's fake. the committee for responsible federal budget concluded that over half of the pay force are fake. there is no pay. as a result of that we are inflating our way through this. the reason we have to rely on that committee's report is because the congressional budget office hasn't issued a score. that's wrong too. we should not vote on it without a score and we won't have one by the time we vote on it. >> laura: do you think republicans have lost -- if they go forward with this infrastructure bill, have they lost their leverage in stopping the 3.5-trillion dolla

louisiana senator bill cassidy speaking to cnn over the weekend. alongside tom keene and lisa abramowicz, i am jonathan ferro. down seven points on the s&p, negative zero .16%. all-time highs through much of last week on the s&p 500. the yield higher through friday, lower through this morning. down by about a basis point to -- and the euro-dollar not doing much. the story of the morning, where the price action is, is in the commodity market. crude down to 65.50. tom: gold with some dynamics as well. the tradable readjustment is profound off what we saw friday in jobs. it is august in washington. leading the headlines at the washington post is fallout boy will not appear at the national stadium with green day and a bunch of others. and we heard during -- annmarie hordern actually -- absolutely crushed. is a perceived in washington that the senate infrastructure is a waste of time, because all they will do is get to the house and face huge stumbling blocks? annmarie: it is a good point. i do not think people view it as a waste of time, because obviou

who are stepping up on this issue, like mike gallagher whose a congressman, and a veteran senator, cassidy, mcallen ski, who are joining with some democratic senators to focus on this issue and making sure the issue gets women in leadership roles in afghanistan special access back here. those are really good efforts, i'm glad they are bipartisan, i think they should be more bipartisan and they likely will. but the hyperbolic language from the minority leader is used every day, for every issue, is actually really appropriate here. there is a real sense of shock among people in his own party that joe biden with all his experience, and all his competence, and all his reference for the sacrifice that people like his son have made in afghanistan, and all the years we have invested there, that he would not have had a better, more prepared thought through plan. that these reports coming out about the intelligence that they did have are making the administration look like they are dishonest, or incompetent. that they did not have a good enough planned to get these people out before that if close t

roy blunt, richard burr, shelley moore capito, bill cassidy, susan collins, kevin cramer, mike crapo, lindsey graham, of course, chuck grassley, john hoeven, mitch mcconnell, lisa murkowski, rob portman, jim risch, mitt romney, thom tillis, and todd young. now, a few of these people plan to retire soon, thank heaven, but most of them intend to get reelected at some point. and it might be good if voters made that impossible. a youtube personality called chris chan has just been arrested in virginia on, of all things, incest charges. authorities say he was having sex with a 79-year-old member who is his grandmother. they classified chris chan as a female and that means chris chan, and accused sex criminal, would have been housed in a women's prison. chan is now being considered a man by the jail. but this is not an isolated incident. many prisons in this country do housed biological men with women. this is something we predicted -- many predicted -- and were laughed at. one of the people who predicted this, the president of the u.s. chapter of the women's human rights campaign, and she

he was known as the wildest in butch cassidy's outlaw gang known as the wild bunch. that gang also included the sundance kid, will carver and many others. some of them, including kid curry, posed for a photo in 1901 which i have put on the screen for you. funnily enough, the pinkertons learned about the photo, got a copy of it and put it on wanted posters all over america. kid curry during his lifetime was wanted on warrants for 15 murders why it was generally believed he had murdered at least twice that number and william pinkerton called him the most vicious outlaw in america and said, quote, he has not one single redeeming feature. he is the only criminal i know of who does not have one single good point. i am not sure. it's a good question. i tried to find the identities but i just kept running into lists that all gave me different information so i'm not positive and i did not spend enough time looking into it to truly be able to answer that question. then there was cherokee bill, whose real name was crawford goldsby. he and his gang terrorized the indian territo

topping the list is tech entrepreneur sue cantor cassidy's guide to taking careerists in twos possibility. that's followed by between the world and me, national award-winning author coach look at the state of black america. after that is all in, billie jean king's reflections on her life and tennis career. next is michelle boehner's memoir crying in each mark and wrapping up our look at some of romans bookstore's best-selling nonfiction books is lifelines. george washington university professor and emergency physician doctor lena wins firsthand account of working in public health. some of these authors have appeared on tv and you can watch their programs anytime at booktv.org. >> robin d'angelo looks at how well-intentioned white people can inadvertently cause racial harm through what she calls a culture of niceness. she's interviewed by eddie grob, author and princeton university professor of african-american studies. afterwards is a weekly interview program with relevant guests of interviewing top nonfiction authors about their latest work. >> i'm so delighted to have this opportunity t

and the public health perspective, after waiting those people, that cassidy to have the confidence to come forward. the 2nd thing is, you know, sort of sort of carrots and stick in the beginning to see this number of country that's from, for example, if you want to do that, because there's a, if you're not fascinated, you really will need to have a box. and if you want to go into restaurants, if you want to go into the source of it's the most current time to stick if you'd like. and i think we got to see more of those kinds of incentives. i put the incentives in the way because if you don't do be able to do that now. and the thing under why discussion is whether at some job, for example, it needs to be compulsory. the same. and kenya, discussion about topics says, and we've seen in other countries discussion about health care workers. so if you're in a job in the age old age environment, and i do, you have a responsibility and the government have responsibility to show that you're backs. and i think countries around the world grappling with exactly that, hey, we're going to leave it t

cassidy, so in particular, now the sun comes up. are they getting in touch with you directly about the needs right away? obviously the top of a hospital blown off, that's a direct need. is there something else we need to relay or you need to relay to the american people? >> there are mass evacuation shelters, and we had a briefing yesterday, the red cross and others set these up, so there will be plenty of distance between different pods, a family here and a family that far over. they are well-ventilated they will ask people to wear a mask if you don't have one still show up but they give you one when you're there and if you've not been vaccinated, not required they will offer you the vaccine so there is a lot of taken into account covid as we evacuate people, and again, i just again, compliment those agencies for being so far leading to the issue. steve: and before you go, just expand a little bit about how the people who are in the hospital that have no electricity, they had been on ventilators but with no electricity suddenly the

senator cassidy said he read it, he must be a speed reader. congressman jordan, some republicans including rob portman, what is going on here really? it is obvious that this is not infrastructure on its own. what is going on here? >> only 10% is infrastructure. what is in the bill is the word equity mentioned 60 times was my guess is all-time speaker gingrich was in congress he never saw transportation blood infrastructure will focus on equity. that is the problem, the left-wing spending is part of what i call the democrats crazy economic plan which is lockdown economy, spend like crazy, pay people not working for all of you who are working they are getting ready to raise your taxes. what these republicans are thinking i don't know. step one of the bigger spending bill coming later and you pointed this out last night in your interview with senator cassidy. it is part of the crazy economic plan and why we are going to win. if the election were held today, we are going to win next year and take back the house. >> you give away your principal aut

i'm talking mitch mcconnell, roy blunt, mitt romney, lindsey graham, senator cassidy and others, they all supported biden's 2700 page infrastructure bill that is paving the way for tandem consideration of the $3.5 trillion behemoth budget bill. hello, inflation, hello higher taxes, and this regulation, new entitlements, and goodbye fiscal responsibility, a total abdication. i'm sickened by what the republicans have done. speaking of application, what is happening at the southern border is worthy of impeachment, there've been more encounters there just this year than the populations of eight us states, governors in non-border states are being kept in the dark. do you know how many migrants have been shipped to florida. are you given any notice? >> no notice, they do not tell us. we have to do investigations but they do fly people in, they fly in unaccompanied minors. >> we've arrived at the point that reminds me of another time in the not-too-distant past when the obama administration was also up to no good. >> this is america. how many of you want to pay for your neighbor's mortgage w

we saw bill cassidy saying things like that. but house republican leader mccarthy and others do what desantis and abbott are doing and politicize this and turn it into something that you know, is very dangerous for public health, frankly. >> it's going to be fascinating to watch as we go through this surge now which happens to be taking us into an election here. how covid and politics align. appreciate it. >>> up next, being aoc. dana bash goes one-on-one with alexandria ocasio-cortez. well, would ya look at that! it was an accident. i was— speaking of accidents, we accidentally left you off the insurance policy during enrollment, and you're not covered. not even a little bit? mm-mmm. no insurance. no. when employees can't enter and manage their own benefits enrollment information, it can be a real pain. not even— nope! with paycom, employees enter and manage their own hr data in a single, easy-to-use software. visit paycom.com and schedule a demo today. front desk. yes, hello... i'm so... please hold. ♪ i got you. ♪ all

the other republican members in addition to myself were senators murkowski, cassidy, and romney. on the democratic side, in addition to senator sinema, were senators manchin, shaheen, warner, and tester. and all of us worked very hard, and we're grateful for the ideas and the input that we had from so many of our colleagues. i also want to thank our staffs. we couldn't have done it without them. they too were here night and day. they haven't had a weekend off in a very long time. so, madam president, it is essential that we make this historic investment, and i urge all of my colleagues in voting tomorrow morning for final passage of this long-awaited, much-needed, bipartisan legislation. thank you, madam president. i yield the floor.

we have romney, mcconnell, portman, bill cassidy, etc. supporting what will ultimately lead to another tax on americans and the $3.5 trillion bill which is joined at the hip with this. why is mcconnell doing this? >> he will have to speak for himself. i can only speak for myself. they will say it is only a pilot project but a pilot project is a little like a pilot light moving forward. there is no way it can develop into a full-fledged program about massive intrusion into private family interests the american people hold dear. when you add this to all the other problems with the bill including the fact that it would make it more difficult for first-time homebuyers to get home when utah and all americans are struggling with the high price of housing and healthcare and gasoline and groceries this is not fair, we shouldn't be doing it. laura: you don't want to criticize your fellow senators, i understand the senate protocol but this infrastructure bill contrary to what senator cassidy said on this program a few nights ago is going to pave th
