last night senator marsha blackburn said there could be others. a vote today on the reconciliation bill could be 54 - 46. this afternoon president biden has apparently gone up to capitol hill it will try to persuade house democratic conference to vote for trillion dollar infrastructure bill and maybe save some face for his domestic program. that program along with the catastrophe of the southern border in the catastrophe in afghanistan is already dooming his presidency. nancy pelosi is 022 for the infrastructure bills and tennis that would be a double fault but were working towards a baseball player so will say districts in your out. kevin mccarthy and the house republicans are completely opposed to any combine infrastructure and budget reconciliation package and of course they are right. i just say let the therapy continue or let it begin there's a new reality in washington and i rather like it save america, kill the bill, kill all the bills. now the fun starts on set my great pal brian kilmeade "fox & friends" cohost brian thank you. >> i would'

republican candidate for virginia governor glen youngkin and tennessee senator marsha blackburn are among those scheduled to speak. >> harris: thank you very much. republicans on the senate judiciary committee with a warning now for the a.g. merrick garland telling him to quote federal law enforcement muscle should never be used against protesting parents, end quote. he wants merrick garland to know that. jim banks wrote a scathing letter to the national school boards association. that is the group which said these protests could be seen as domestic terrorism. congressman banks says the nsba intentionally muddles the distinction between protected speech and unlawful violence adding it conflates disagreement with violence in an attempt to convince federal law enforcement to crack down on their political opponents. marc thiessen is fox news contributor and "washington post" columnist and a friend always welcome in "focus." i want to start with representative banks' words. that is really jarring if they'll say you don't agree with one group who is in power now with majorities on the hill and
