BAIER: You're done? This is a no?
MANCHIN: "This is a no on this legislation"
Manchin calls BBB "a mammoth piece of legislation" and "I've had my reservations from the beginning." His concerns? Inflation, rising costs, national debt, "geopolitical unrest," Covid, new variant. He says he has been "very concerned about this" bill and Dem senators know it. 
Here’s video of Manchin closing the door on the Build Back Better Act:
MANCHIN on Build Back Better: "If you're going to do something and do it, pick what the prized priorities are ... and you fund them for 10 years and you make sure they deliver the services for 10 years. It's hard to deliver services for 1 year or 3 years or 5 years."
Manchin on BBB: "We should be upfront and pick our priorities. That's the difference. So it hasn't shrunk in the desire, the intent is always there. And what we need to do is get our financial house in order... be able to pay for what we do and do what we pay for."
