This sounds remarkably definitive but also a much more radical position than the past where he raised concerns about specific pieces of BBB, but not the whole thing.

Going from "we need a 10 year costs for the bill" or "work requirements for the CTC" to "no, I can't support anything" - on Fox - doesn't seem like a good-faith negotiation process.
Whats at stake with BBB.
If it fails, we lose real solutions to real problems:
*Best shot at climate change
*Anti-poverty child tax credit
*Medicaid expansion + stopping large ACA premium increases
*Affordable housing

Maybe this is indeed a Manchin negotiation tactic and a staffer will say that he meant the House version of BBB. But Manchin has had a chance to define what he wants for a while now.
Having a statement ready to go - based on the premise that the national debt is our biggest issue - is another sign that Manchin is effectively killing BBB
