now to this democratic spending dispute
[2]
that we've seen there's been
[3]
progressives in the party that have
[5]
really started to take aim at senator
[6]
joe manchin he had urged colleagues to
[9]
hit the pause button as he put it on
[11]
president biden's three and a half
[12]
trillion dollar spending plan
[14]
hit the pause button
[16]
let's set back let's see what happens
[18]
we've got so much on our plate we really
[20]
have an awful lot that's i i think that
[22]
would be the prudent wise thing to do
[25]
mansion following up those comments with
[26]
the wall street journal op-ed he
[28]
was slammed by the likes of alexandria
[30]
ocasio-cortez after that and here with
[32]
us now is the republican congresswoman
[35]
nicole meliatakis from the state of new
[36]
york so you watch this congresswoman
[38]
looking in from the outside and you're
[40]
and you're thinking
[41]
what
[44]
well i'm here in new york city with
[45]
alexandria casio cortez and what i find
[47]
outrageous is that socialists like
[50]
alexandria ocasio-cortez are using a
[53]
tragedy that happened in new york where
[54]
even people died to push a socialist
[58]
spending spree uh 3.5 trillion dollars
[61]
of so-called human infrastructure and
[63]
what i can tell you is that human
[65]
infrastructure is not going to do a damn
[67]
thing to help my constituents who have
[69]
seen flooding in their basements streets
[71]
flooded what we need is true
[73]
real infrastructure and unfortunately
[75]
nancy pelosi has even hijacked that bill
[78]
and have prevented us from having a
[80]
debate and a vote on it instead she
[83]
brought us to washington to jam down
[85]
that 3.5 trillion dollar socialist squad
[88]
package
[89]
and i think that's frustrating to a lot
[91]
of people but in addition to that what's
[93]
extraordinarily frustrating to me in
[94]
general
[95]
and to the taxpayers that i represent is
[97]
that they pay money to the government
[98]
for a reason okay they expect certain
[101]
things in exchange public safety quality
[104]
education transportation and yes
[106]
infrastructure what has the city under
[109]
mayor de blasio or the state under
[111]
governor cuomo been doing for the last
[114]
decade
[115]
with the money that we pay to the city
[117]
of new york and the state of new york
[118]
which by the way is more money than
[121]
taxpayers but
[123]
as per population than any other city or
[126]
state in the nation and they should have
[128]
been upgrading this infrastructure so we
[130]
wouldn't be experiencing what we're
[131]
experiencing this week to your point
[133]
about the flooding and the comments let
[135]
me put that aoc tweet on the screen so
[137]
people know what you're referring to
[138]
what she said is she's talking about
[140]
mansion he said he has these weekly
[141]
huddles with exxon as one of the
[143]
senators who gives lobbyists their pen
[144]
to write so-called bipartisan fossil
[147]
fuel bills then she says it's killing
[149]
people our people at least 12 last night
[152]
i suppose that was at the time that she
[154]
wrote this tweet saying she's sick of
[156]
this bipartisan corruption masquerades
[157]
as clear-eyed moderation while we're at
[159]
it rashida talib another congresswoman
[161]
with another tweet let me read this as
[163]
well instead of writing op-eds again
[165]
addressing mention why don't you look
[167]
into the faces of my residents who've
[168]
had their basements flooded
[170]
with sewage multiple times their power
[172]
out for days senator manchin we deserved
[174]
better so congresswoman maliotakas
[176]
that's what you're talking about in
[178]
terms of
[178]
referring to what we've seen these
[181]
weather events the last couple of days
[182]
in in this spending and bringing it
[184]
together somehow in this spending
[186]
dispute
[188]
well i mean look there's no doubt that
[190]
we as a society just need to be more
[192]
environmentally friendly uh but
[194]
certainly what they're pushing is is a
[197]
separate package that bases most of the
[200]
spending on so-called human
[202]
infrastructure as opposed to true
[204]
infrastructure needs like sewer and
[207]
water infrastructure like roads bridges
[210]
and highways like the subway system by
[212]
the way here in new york city which was
[214]
gushing with water
[216]
these are the things that need to be
[217]
modernized to be kept up with population
[219]
growth and nancy pelosi has hijacked the
[223]
actual infrastructure bill that could
[225]
potentially make that happen so i think
[228]
there's there's two issues here there's
[229]
a national issue of them playing
[231]
politics with the true meaning of
[233]
infrastructure and the other issue is
[235]
the way that our mayor and our governor
[236]
have been handling things over the years
[238]
where they haven't used money wisely
[240]
putting it towards the things they
[241]
needed to be put toward to improve
[244]
quality of life here so they're in a
[245]
tough spot now politically because you
[247]
know to your point they have these back
[249]
and forth on these two bills and
[251]
whether it's nancy pelosi i saw even
[253]
senator bernie sanders tweeting
[254]
something to this effect uh earlier
[256]
they're basically saying listen you
[257]
don't get this three and a half trillion
[258]
dollar bill through and without the
[260]
likes of mention they probably won't i
[262]
mean they need the moderates they need
[263]
the
[264]
senator cinemas of the world senator
[265]
mansions of the world they want to pass
[267]
it they say if you don't get that
[268]
they're not going to do
[269]
the infrastructure the quote-unquote
[271]
real infrastructure bill so that goes
[273]
back to your earlier point you might get
[275]
nothing out of this
[276]
how do you think it all ends up
[279]
well i think it's incredibly sad that
[281]
they would hijack an actual
[283]
infrastructure bill that has bipartisan
[285]
support at minimum bring it for a debate
[287]
let it be argued on its own merits and
[289]
voted on it on its own merits
[291]
this is something that i think there's a
[293]
majority
[295]
or i would say a majority of support in
[297]
the house for but certainly even
[298]
bipartisan support in the house for
[301]
and the fact that they would deprive
[303]
communities like ours that could really
[306]
benefit from some of the money that
[308]
would be injected from a true
[310]
infrastructure package i think is
[311]
incredibly sad simply because they want
[313]
to further push socialism down the
[315]
throats of the american people and now
[317]
joe manchin you know he's talked tough
[319]
before uh you know as did nine democrats
[321]
in the house that said they were going
[322]
to stand up against nancy pelosi and not
[324]
support that 3.5 socialist spending
[327]
package and yet they caved and voted for
[329]
it right before we left right that's the
[331]
question about whether he's actually
[332]
infrastructure bill even after this
[334]
op-ed will he go back and vote for it
[335]
again we'll see um the congresswoman
[337]
from new york republican nicole pally
