your colleague tim ryan was just on told john berman maybe that's something to look at, but when we look at how this bill passed in the house without republican support, how confident are you that there could be republican support in the senate, even if this is broken down into smaller pieces? >> i'm not confident that there will be any republican support for it in the senate and that's the difficult part. now, we could do what some of us actually supported doing in the house, which was basically to focus on three or four significant provisions, one of them being as tim ryan said extension of the child tax credit, early pre-k but whatever we choose and live to fight another day, but that's a possibility but you know, the reason we were in the position of having to cut back the duration of some of this funding for certain elements of the plan was because joe manchin made us so he made us go from originally $3.5 trillion to half of that and we'll cut back the duration of the funding. now he complains about the fact we cut back on the duration of the funding. so again -- >> sorry. >> go ahe
