Brian interviews the Chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, about the state of reconciliation negotiations and what holdouts like Kyrsten Sinema actually want. And former Senator Harry Reid’s deputy chief of staff, Adam Jentleson, joins to discuss the filibuster and the political upside and downside for defending it when it comes to Manchin and Sinema.
