this was also the day the president
[1]
rolled out what he called a once in a
[4]
generation opportunity to revamp the
[6]
economy
[7]
starting with infrastructure rebuilding
[9]
our country by
[10]
starting with the bones he traveled to
[12]
pittsburgh to unveil his massive
[15]
proposal to shore up the nation's
[17]
aging roads and bridges and rail lines
[19]
and utilities a plan he says
[22]
will transform the united states
[26]
i'm proposing a plan for the nation that
[28]
rewards work
[30]
not just rewards wealth it's not a plan
[33]
that tinkers around the edges
[35]
it's a once-in-a-generation investment
[38]
in america unlike anything we've seen or
[41]
done
[43]
since we built the interstate highway
[45]
system and the space race decades ago
[48]
in fact it's the largest american jobs
[51]
investment
[51]
since world war ii it's big yes
[55]
it's bold yes and we can get it done
[61]
biden says it'll cost just over two
[63]
trillion dollars among his plans to pay
[66]
for it a corporate tax hike
[67]
from the current 21 percent to 28
[70]
percent
[71]
keep in mind he just signed his 1.9
[74]
trillion dollar coveted relief act into
[76]
law
[77]
without any republican support the plan
[79]
biden introduced today
[81]
is part one he says he'll announce part
[84]
two
[84]
aimed at helping the nation's families
[86]
education
[87]
health care and the like in a matter of
[89]
weeks today he
[90]
invited republicans to work with him on
[92]
both
[94]
the divisions of the moment shouldn't
[97]
stop us from doing the right thing for
[98]
the future
[100]
i'm going to bring republicans into the
[102]
oval office
[103]
listen to them what they have to say and
[105]
be open to other ideas
[108]
we'll have a good faith negotiation with
[110]
any republican who wants to help get
[111]
this done
[113]
but we have to get it done
[117]
biden says he's talked with republican
[119]
leader mitch mcconnell
[121]
about this during an appearance this
[122]
morning in kentucky
[124]
mcconnell confirmed he indeed had a
[126]
conversation with the president
[128]
went on to say this and we quote it's
[131]
like a trojan horse it's called
[133]
infrastructure but inside the trojan
[135]
horse
[136]
it's going to be more borrowed money and
[138]
massive tax increases in other words
[140]
they want to reverse the tax reform that
[143]
we did
[144]
in just 2017. a b south dakota governor
[147]
christie gnome
[148]
who has drawn a lot of attention for the
[151]
way she has
[152]
either managed or mismanaged coronavirus
[155]
in that state depending on your
[156]
perspective
[158]
went on hannity tonight and found
[160]
apparently a
[161]
unique way to attack the infrastructure
[164]
initiative we'll discuss on the other
[166]
side
[168]
every single family will pay the price
[170]
for what joe biden's agenda is he will
[173]
drive up the cost of the food
[174]
and their grocery bill he will drive up
[176]
the cost of their utilities
[178]
their gas prices the cost of their cars
[180]
the clothes they dress their children in
[182]
everything that they do each and every
[184]
day will be more expensive their budgets
[187]
will be tighter because they'll be
[188]
earning less and it'll be directly
[190]
because of these policies
[192]
and these tax increases that joe biden
[194]
is embracing
[195]
now a b i will bet you dinner that those
[198]
talking points arrived
[199]
in her inbox and we will hear the very
[201]
same thing from other
[203]
elected republicans but biden is going
[205]
hard on his belief that
[207]
families who make below 400 grand a year
[211]
are not going to have to pay more for
[213]
this is this talking point really
[216]
uh a way in for the gop or a non-starter
[222]
well you know they've been talking about
[225]
their sort of rhetoric on on a coming
[227]
infrastructure package
[229]
for months saying it's a green it's
[231]
gonna be a green new deal wrapped in a
[233]
tax hike
[235]
so no matter what the president proposes
[238]
they're gonna say it's a green new deal
[240]
wrapped in a tax hike
[243]
we should start by saying the reason
[245]
that joe biden is doing this is because
[247]
joe biden has just astonishingly good
[251]
approval numbers right now i have no
[253]
idea if they'll last
[255]
i'm surprised at how high they are not
[257]
only on his coveted response
[259]
but his general job approval and
[262]
this con all of these proposals are
[265]
popular
[266]
even taxing corporations and the wealthy
[268]
to pay for infrastructure
[270]
uh it's it's popular among republican
[273]
voters and trump
[275]
voters so in in a moment of crisis at
[277]
the beginning of his presidency
[279]
joe biden is making clear he's willing
[281]
to go for broke
[282]
because he believes this is really
[284]
popular and he has a window to do this
[287]
where it will break down as peter
[288]
alluded to is among his own party if
[290]
he's trying
[292]
um to to to use a very narrow process
[296]
to get through a party-line vote i think
[299]
that
[299]
talking point for republicans later this
[302]
year and as we get into
[304]
an election year next year that look joe
[306]
biden never included us in any of these
[309]
negotiations he's just rammed through
[311]
these incredibly audacious and ambitious
[313]
agenda items without ever
[315]
um taking in our proposals or seeking
[318]
our votes
[319]
i think that's more powerful than um you
[322]
know
[322]
this paying for all of this needed
[324]
infrastructure with tax hikes
[326]
is is a non-starter the voters so far
[329]
think that this is a is a good trade-off
