i want to read to you something that aoc wrote, alexandria ocasio-cortez in the "new york times." she wrote the entire reason the progressive caucus gave their vote to the infrastructure bill was based on direct promises from the president and more conservative democrats hold-outs and house leadership as well. if the promises don't follow through it will be difficult for them to get votes on anything moving forward. steve, that sounds like a threat. we have seen it before. is it going to work or do you think manchin and sinema will save the day, if you will? >> well, if manchin are sinema are not welcome in the democrat party i'm sure the republicans will take them. there is not just a civil war within the democratic party. this is a war between the two parties right now. i have never seen anything quite like it. that bill that passed in the house which was one of the most as troeshous bills i've seen in the 35 years i've been in washington in terms of its damage that it will do to our economy and small businesses, that bill passed without one single republican vote. that's not th

alexandria ocasio-cortez she is concerned the bill will be gutted. fox news's correspondent is live on capitol hill. >> the white house was asked about these polls that show that some of these plans are not as popular as they thought. the white house still thinks that what is in the infrastructure package and social spending package is so popular they're tuning the polls out anyway that say the opposite. the head of the dnc said they'll blast the airwaves once biden's full agenda passes ahead of the mid-terms to make the case democrats delivered. >> we are going to double down even more. we already have ads that will go out and be billboards all over the place selling this accomplishment because it's big. it's huge. and it is really, really -- >> the president pleaded with his party to pass the bipartisan infrastructure deal but not in a rush to sign it choosing to favor the optics of a signing ceremony when congress is back in town instead of getting shovels right in the ground. >> he basically said he wants to make sure the congressional members wh

trace. >> alexandria live in d.c. thank you. >> dana: a new poll shows there could be major trouble ahead for democrats. both parties set their sights on the mid-terms. let's bring in marc thiessen former speech writer for george w. bush. i want to get the numbers. abc news poll. preference for house candidate among registered voter. gop51%, dems 41. when we say it's a record in 40 years if you have to go back what, the 1980s when ronald reagan was there? >> it sounds like it. they have an even bigger advantage in the senate side. plus 23 for the republicans. this is bad news for the biden administration. the floor is falling out from under this presidency. the reason the floor is pulling out from under them is president biden didn't do what he said he would do when elected. which the poll shows americans notice that. he promised unity, bipartisanship, reaching across the aisle. returning to normalcy and instead the only thing he has done that closely matches that is the bipartisan infrastructure bill which he is only

alexandria hoff is live in virginia. good morning. >> good morning. glenn youngkin hasn't let a moment of potential engagement go to waste. he made a stop at a polling place to talk to voters. he also played a little basketball in the rain. we caught up with him a few minutes ago. >> i have felt this great surge of momentum for the last 6 to 8 weeks. when you get to travel around this amazing state and meet with i think we met with between 25 and 50,000 virginians in the last 10 days and see everybody coming together and we've seen independents support us by double digits and folks run across the aisle. >> that same air of optimism was clear at last night's parents matter rally in loudon county. hundreds of supporters were in attendance was a full circle moment for the candidate. the idea parents should have a say in schools where he found his footing in this race. >> i hope he will do a lot especially for our schools. i'm a pediatric nurse and a mother. what's going on in our schools right now is not acceptable. >> the former private equity executive

alexandria ocasio-cortez and two other new york reps say they have concern excessive bail is creating a humanitarian crisis in new york city's jail system. also claiming overcrowding and violence in new york jails. it violates the federal civil rights of inmates. aoc tweeting more than 75% of individuals in custody haven't been convicted of a crime and are confined in unsafe conditions simply because they can't afford cash bail. the members are also claiming 14 people have died this year while in new york city police custody. on sunday representative tlaib told axios she supports a proposal to shutter federal prison entirely. >> i think everyone is like oh my god we'll release everybody. that's not -- you see how many people are mentally ill that are in prison right now? >> you want to release everyone. >> oh, oh. >> you can't release everyone. >> within 10 years there is a process of looking at how can we get away from mass incarceration and move towards care. >> brooks, the suspect in sunday's tragedy in wisconsin was himself out on $1,000 bail at the time he plowed into the parade

. >> dana: alexandria ocasio-cortez says how can outlets attribute words to me i didn't say. with 100% mod -- i said nothing about wokeness which is a term used by older people an pundits use. making up a woke problem puts voting rights on the back burner and she goes on. marc, a final word. think continue to fight amongst themselves. >> wokeness is a phrase the left came up with and now it has become an epitaph. it was their word. james carville is a centrist democrat who can work with republicans. he married one. he doesn't hate republicans. ocasio-cortez doesn't care about losing. she wants to get as much as her agenda and start -- push toward socialism down the path. get as much of this stuff done. they'll start all the programs they know will never be repealed and try to lower the cost by saying we're only funding it for a couple of years. once an entitlement is created it never gets repealed. they want to create as many as they can and push us as far as they can down the road of socialism. republicans come in, won't repeal it and they'll come back and keep the march goi

alexandria ocasio-cortez, a spokesperson had a different take. >> i know that virginia was a huge bummer and honestly if anything, i think the results show the limits of trying to run a fully 100% super moderated campaign. that does not excite, speak to, or energize the progressive base and frankly we weren't really invited to contribute on that race. >> dana: is the problem that it hasn't gone too far left enough and energizing that base of progressives? >> that's a ridiculous argument. we have the highest turnout in virginia history. both sides turned out in big numbers. the problem is we lost swing voters and for some of the reasons i talked about. it is not than enthusiasm. we had huge turnout. the problem is we didn't do as well if suburban places as we have done. coalitions don't last forever and democrats can't take for granted that we will have suburban women that elected joe biden and gave the democrats the house and senate. >> bill: i've always wondered about this. when you reflect on obamacare 11 years ago and the mid-terms came up and you lost 63 seats in the house. really it

joe manchin and kyrsten sinema, it goes back to the house of representatives and go the progressives alexandria ocasio-cortez and jayapal, talib and bush, can they stomach a more moderated bill coming back from the senate if it ever comes back. it may take months. just because they talk about christmastime passing it, it could bleed to january and you saw how long it took the house to pass the infrastructure bill. we thought the house would vote on infrastructure and this bill when president biden came to the capitol one day in late september. they just passed this bill and the infrastructure bill two weeks ago today. >> sandra: kevin mccarthy in his own words what we have before us is a pathway to socialism. you go back to the leader's remarks last night, eight hours of them. u.s. senator bill cassidy saying it will further ignite inflation and torch american savings. interesting to point out these lawmakers are about to head off and take their thanksgiving break at a time when we're reporting that all of this government spending has been leading to massive amounts of inflation and very expens

alexandria is following it from richmond today. hi. >> yeah, both candidates are now back in battleground territory. they spent yesterday on opposite sides of the state. youngkin was in the far southwest pocket of virginia where farmers for youngkin signs. speaking to sporters each one told us education was a number one concern. youngkin in gate city. >> you get to stand up for every child in america. what is happening in school boards and what's happening in school districts in virginia is happening everywhere. >> youngkin's campaign gained steam on this very issue as he became vocal what he sees at government overreach in schools and holds an 8% lead over mccauliffe according to the fox news poll. he leads 8% when likely voters were asked who they thought would do better on education. education is the number one issue in this race. mccauliffe campaigned in rich edmonton area yesterday and promised teacher pay raises. his experience gives him an edge he says. >> trust me on education. we have a great school system in virginia. dor

alexandria in virginia on the state flipping red in historic fashion. alex, good morning there. >> good morning, bill. the beginning of this it seemed like democrat terry mccauliffe had a clear advantage but, of course, that led to not victory for him. instead we have republican glenn youngkin taking the stage around 1:00 a.m. to a still-packed room. >> all righty, virginia, we won this thing! [cheering and applause] i want to thank my beloved commonwealth of virginia. >> the 54-year-old former carlisle group ceo saw a sharp turn around the polls. he focused on kitchen table issues like taxes, jobs, community safety and schools. it was the issue of parental involvement in public education that youngkin found enthusiastic support. in his speech he vowed to make the largest investment in education and start work on 20 new charter schools. >> there is no time to waste. our kids can't wait. we are going to press forward with a curriculum that includes listening to parents' input. a curriculum that allows our children to run as fast as they can teaching them

congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez has thoughts that she gave to the "new york times" about what she thinks the president should do. she said there is an enormous amount of executive action they're sitting on that's under utilized. why are we taking this as a legislative compromise when the opportunity is so much greater or when biden could do it with a stroke of a pen and is just reminding us he is choosing not to? they didn't like it when president trump considered executive action but basically she wants to bypass the legislative agenda. it is difficult. she wants executive action which probably wouldn't work. >> i think she and the bernie sanders wing of the party are disappointed the bill will only cost $5 trillion and they wanted to spend 10 or 12 trillion. i will point out the single biggest item in the bill is a tax break for rich homeowners in places like california, new jersey and new york whose taxes are too high. taxes of the rest of the country shouldn't be subsidizing. maybe they are unhappy they just voted for tax cuts for the wealthy which they always accuse repub

david spunt is live outside the courthouse in alexandria, virginia covering the twists and turns. good morning. >> good morning. that researcher's name is igor danchenko getting ready to leave the courthouse and why you see a little crowd behind me of cameras. he pleaded not guilty five minutes ago to charges, five counts of lying to the f.b.i., five counts according to special counsel john durham, danchenko is a russian national living in northern virginia. video of him arriving at the courthouse this morning. i asked him if he had comment. he said no comment. his attorney said these were false allegations. according to durham danchenko was the primary source for christopher steele who compiled the steele dossier full of accusations about former president donald trump. it alleges that danchenko lied to the f.b.i. as working with steele as his primary source of information. danchenko is leaving court now and not saying anything to the cameras, which is not surprising. we've confirmed that he was in contact with someone, dana, listed as p.r. executive one. a man named chuck dolan.
