THEY HAVE TO EXPECT PRECISELY
ZERO LEGISLATION TO PASS INTO
LAW.
REPUBLICAN SENATOR TO CAST ANY
VOTES WITH DEMOCRATS ON ANYTHING
OF SUBSTANCE.
IT IS WIDELY POPULAR IS THE
VIVID RELIEF BILL WHICH HAD
SUPPORT AMONG THE POPULATION AS
A WHOLE AMONG A MAJORITY OF
REPUBLICAN VOTERS AND REPUBLICAN
SENATOR VOTED FOR IT.
THERE IS NOT A SINGLE REPUBLICAN
SENATOR WILL VOTE FOR THE
INFRASTRUCTURE BILL.
VOTERS ARE AGAINST IT OR
UNPOPULAR MEASURE.
NEW POLLING TODAY FROM PRO LIT
HE COULD SHOWS A BROAD MAJORITY
OF SUPPORT FOR EVERY ELEMENT OF
THE BILL.
FROM MODERNIZING HOSPITALS AND
STREETS AND BRIDGES AND
IMPROVING CARE GIVING FACILITIES
FOR DISABLED AMERICANS AND OLDER
MEMBERS TO REPLACING ALL THE
LEAD PIPES HAD AND BUILDING AND
IMPROVING PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO
INCREASING BROADBAND TO
IMPROVING PUBLIC TRANS IT AND
AMTRAK TO AIRPORTS TO ELECTRIC
VEHICLE FLEETS AND CHARGERS AND
CAPPING OFF BAND OND WELLS AND
ALL OF IT.
THEY PULLED DOWN ALL OF THE
ELEMENTS OF IT.
EVERY SINGLE WILL ONE OF THE
ELEMENTS HAS 50% SUPPORT AMONG
REGISTERED VOTERS.
THEY’RE CONSIDERABLY MORE THAN
50% SUPPORT.
BUT NOTHING HAS LESS THAN A
MAJORITY OF THE COUNTRY
SUPPORTING IT.
AND LOOK AT THAT ONE HIGHLIGHTED
PROPOSAL THAT WE HAVE THERE.
THE ONE HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW.
THAT IS JUST THE PROPOSAL ABOUT
IMPROVING CARE GIVING FACILITIES
FOR OLDER AMERICANS AND DISABLED
AMERICANS.
THAT’S THE PART OF THE BIDEN
INFRASTRUCTURE BILL THAT IN
PARTICULAR AND THEY REALLY HATE
AND THEY REALLY THINK IF THEY
KEEP TALKING ABOUT THAT, THAT
WILL TURN THE PUBLIC AGAINST THE
INFRASTRUCTURE BILL.
THAT HAS 76% SUPPORT.
AMONG REGISTERED VOTERS.
64% AMONG REPUBLICAN VOTERS.
I MEAN OVERALL ONLY 13% OF THE
COUNTRY SAYS THEY’RE IN
OPPOSITION TO.
THAT THE REST SAY THEY DON’T
KNOW.
BUT THAT THING WITH 76% OVERALL
SUPPORT AND 64% AMONG REPUBLICAN
VOTERS, THAT THE THING THAT THEY
CHOSE TO PICK ON THE MOST IF
THEY KEEP PICKING ON THAT.
THEY’LL WIN ON THIS ONE.
IT’S WILDLY POPULAR.
THAT IS MORE POPULAR THAN
KITTENS.
BUT STILL, THEY SAY NOT A SINGLE
REPUBLICAN SENATOR WILL VOTE FOR
THIS BILL.
THEY PROMISE THERE ARE ZERO
REPUBLICANS.
THATS YOUR PREROGATIVE FOR
SOMETHING THIS POPULAR.
FROM ALL THE STAND AGAINST IT
WHEN IT IS GOING TO PASS ANYWAY.
FEEL FREE.
BECAUSE DEMOCRATS DO HAVE AN
OPTION TO PASS THIS WITHOUT ANY
REPUBLICAN VOTES.
AND TODAY PRESIDENT BIDEN MADE
THE CASE HE WOULD LOVE FOR
REPUBLICANS TO SUPPORT THIS
BILL.
HE THINKS THEY SHOULD.
IF THEY DON’T, THEY DON’T.
THEIR CALL.
IT’S GOING AHEAD ANYWAY.
>> DEBATE IS WELCOME.
COMPROMISE IS INEVITABLE.
CHANGES ARE CERTAIN.
I’LL BE MEETING WITH REPUBLICANS
AND DEMOCRATS TO HEAR FROM
EVERYONE.
WE’LL BE OPEN TO GOOD IDEAS AND
GOOD FAITH NEGOTIATIONS.
BUT HERE’S WHAT WE WON’T BE OPEN
TO.
WE’LL WON’T BE OPEN TO DOING
NOTHING.
INACTION SIMPLY IS NOT AN
OPTION.
NOW SINCE I ANNOUNCED THIS PLAN,
I’VE HEARD FROM MY REPUBLICAN
FRIENDS SAY THAT IT’S TOO BIG.
THEY SAY WHY NOT FOCUS ON
TRADITIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE?
FIX WHAT WE ALREADY GOT.
THE ROADS AND THE HIGHWAYS THAT
EXIST AND THE BRIDGES.
I’M HAPPY TO HAVE THAT DEBATE.
I WANT TO TELL YOU MY VIEW.
WE ARE AMERICA.
WE DON’T JUST FIX FOR TODAY.
WE BUILD FOR TOMORROW.
200 YEARS AGO TRAINS WEREN’T
TRADITIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE
EITHER.
UNTIL AMERICA MADE A CHASE TO
LAY DOWN TRACKS ACROSS THE
COUNTRY.
HIGHWAYS WEREN’T TRADITIONAL
INFRASTRUCTURE UNTIL WE ALLOWED
OURSELVES TO IMAGINE THAT ROADS
COULD CONNECT OUR NATION.
ACROSS STATE LINES.
THE IDEA OF INFRASTRUCTURE HAS
ALWAYS EVOLVED TO MEET THE
ASPIRATIONS OF THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE AND THEIR NEEDS.
AND IT’S EVOLVING AGAIN TODAY.
WE NEED TO START SEEING FRUK
THROUGH
INFRASTRUCTURE ON ITS EFFECT OF
LIVES ON WORKING PEOPLE.
WHAT IS THE FOUNDATION TODAY
THAT THEY NEED TO CARVE OUT
THEIR PLACE IN THE MIDDLE CLASS.
TO MAKE IT.
TO LIVE, TO GO TO WORK, TO RAISE
THEIR FAMILIES WITH DIGNITY.
TO ENSURE THAT GOOD JOBS WILL BE
THERE FOR THEIR KIDS NO MATTER
WHAT THEY ARE OR WHAT ZIP CODE
THEY LIVE IN.
THAT’S WHAT INFRASTRUCTURE MEANS
IN THE 21st CENTURY.
IT STILL DEPENDS ON ROADS AND
BRIDGES, PORTS AND AIRPORTS,
RAIL AND MASS TRANSIT, BUT IT
MEANS HAVING RELIABLE HIGH SPEED
INTERNET IN EVERY HOME.
TODAY’S HIGH SPEED INTERNET IS
INFRASTRUCTURE.
IT DEPENDS ON THE ELECTRIC GRID,
A GRID THAT WON’T COLLAPSE IN
THE WINTER STORM OR BE
COMPROMISED BY HACKERS HOME OR
ABROAD.
