‘We all know failure is not an option’

EXCERPT:

KEILAR: “And let’s talk about this more with Debbie Dingell of Michigan. She is co-chair of House Democratic Policy and Communications Committee. Paid family leave, congresswoman, gone from the bill?"
DINGELL: "Brianna, I think you had a very good report previously to my joining you about not what’s clear, what’s in and out. I’ve been hearing for three days it’s in. Four weeks it's in, it’s out. I know two United States senators who have nothing but the utmost respect for Patty Murray who is not a progressive, she's just a -- I mean, she is -- I mean, I hate these labels by the way. But she is a woman that's working very hard, and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand are working hard with Joe Manchin, they're friends, they respect him, to put paid leave on, they had all night to work. So I think one of the -- one of the challenges is this morning when the president is expected to come to our Democratic caucus at 9:00 is nobody knows. I’m not even sure the speaker knows what’s in the bill, what -- what the revenue sources are going to be. It has been in agreement. The revenue sources in this bill will cover all of the new programs. This will not add to the debt. Now we need to know what’s going to be in the bill.”
