i would not worry too much about nancy pelosi. host: you have been known throughout your 17 term career as one who not only could come up but did work across the aisle with republicans. i want to ask you about your reaction to comments from a guest we had on yesterday, former senator joe lieberman. in a book he writes that the problem now is centrists in both parties have what a hard time getting renominated in their party, and most have no viable third-party option in the general election. changing both parts of that political reality is one of the great challenges for american politics in the years ahead. does it feel like in the democratic party that there is a center -- and the republican -- a place where there can be some common compromise? guest: i know joe from way back and i know where he is coming from politically, and there is truth to what he says. both parties have become more homogeneous internally and more ideological in terms of being identifiable, conservative and liberal parties. having said that, i do think it is

nancy pelosi is making a good show of it. she promised the centrists she would have a vote on the infrastructure bill by september 27. ultimately, she doesn't want to have a vote that's going to fail and embarrass the president. votes aren't there. that was clear yesterday. it was clear they were not going to materialize. the person who is been so clear on this was very clear in talking to reporters. we progressives are not going to vote for this until this infrastructure package until the reconciliation passes the senate. no one is taking any promises from them that this may get done at a later date. that means the infrastructure package isn't going anywhere. pelosi can only afford three defections in her caucus if the republicans vote in lockstep. she's going to have to go along with what she is demanding. a deal in hand, a solid deal in hand on the reconciliation bill before it moves. as joe manchin said last night, late into the night, he said there is no deal coming anytime soon. there are still a lot of work to be done.

senator schumer and nancy pelosi have both really backed the bill in all iterations. really what i think we need at this point is people to realize that is sort of like a higher level kind of bill. it is something that really touches on democracy as opposed to what is happening in any given year in our country. our big hope is that president biden, who has done a fantastic job so far, we would like for him to lean in on this just because this one is super basic. bernovich, which was just passed through the courts a few months past, named after the arizona secretary of state, really dismantled parts of the 1965 voting rights act. this is helped to restore part of it. so many things in it are so practical. like make an election day holiday so everyone can vote so working is not a problem. having extended periods of time to vote and make sure everything gets counted. so many things are super practical and not just to the democrat or republican. it applies to everybody. it is kind of like a lot of very practical things in the bill. so it seems like it has become kind of l

blake androff served with house speaker nancy pelosi. good morning, gentlemen. >> good morning. >> good morning. host: let's get right into it. we will start with you, brendan. how are president biden's major initiatives, the budget bill and the infrastructure bill, faring in congress right now? guest: infrastructure could be a win if they just chose to. it's sitting there in the house and they're making a political calculation not to pass it. what is in real trouble is the broader reconciliation that build back better act. frankly, i think they are nowhere right now. they talked for many months about a $3.5 trillion plan. it's very clear at this point it's going to be much less than that, but there are some really pacic fundamental questions -- basic fundamental questions that they don't have answers to yet and it tells you, you are a long way away. they don't know what the top line number is going to be. they don't know how to approach writing a bill at a lower number, whether the question they're debating is whether you do fewer thing

madam speaker, joe biden, nancy pelosi, and the far-left democrats are playing the american people for fools. they're claiming their insane multitrillion-dollar agenda will cost nothing. nothing. our constituents are not stupid, madam speaker. they know nothing washington puts out is free. and they know that the daggum democrats want to tax them for their scheme. the congressional budget office said the democrats are lying about the cost of biden's agenda. the health care provisions alone, alone would increase the federal deficit by half a trillion dollars. let me repeat that. half a trillion dollars. it doesn't matter if the health care spending in this bill occurs over one year ow or over -- year or over 10ers into. we should never -- 10 years. we should never blow up the deficit, madam speaker. the health care policies would force millions of americans into a one-size-fits-all government health care program. forget about keeping your employer-sponsored plan or personalized care. under progressive care, as we like to call it in my office, americans will get to rely on the slow-moving

in the book we have a whole major important scene where after january 6, speaker of the house nancy pelosi and leader schumer in the senate, the top democrats in congress, they call up vice president pence and they are trying to get him to invoke the 25th amendment. they feel the president is out of control and the 25th amendment needs to be invoked in , and when he is over at his office, vice president pence knows the call is coming, but the speaker and senate leader are kept waiting for about 20 minutes. they don't get in to talk to the vice president on the phone, mike pence won't take the call. why doesn't he? why doesn't he consider the 20 25th amendment? because based on our reporting, vice president pence is told by his lawyer and others that the only reason to invoke it is if the president is somehow mentally or physically incapacitated and that that's the legal rationale in their view. this, of course, can be argued by many people, but that was the mike pence legal conclusion about the 25th amendment. on a political basis we can see that even after january 6, he is still trying to

nancy pelosi proposed giving the treasury department the authority to limit the debt. speaker pelosi: there are all kinds of suggestions. one that was endorsed a while back by mitch mcconnell, but who knows -- it was -- the manifestation now puts a responsibility on the secretary of the treasury to make the determination to the debt ceiling. the decision could be overruled by the congress. it would take 60 votes under the present custom, but nonetheless, congress would have to overrule that. that seems to have some appeal to both sides of the aisle, because of the consequences to people of not listening. but why -- many democrats and republicans have voted against the debt ceiling, but never to the extent of jeopardizing it. >> argue in favor of that idea? speaker pelosi: i do think it has merit. host: that proposal and others get around debt limit. guest: let me not comment on specific legislative proposals. on the whole, i think a compromise that cumbersome policy is talking about makes sense. -- congresswoman pelosi on the one hand, you finance the debt. on the othe
