(gong rings) - this is joe. (combative yelling) he used to have bad breath. now, he uses a capful of therabreath fresh breath oral rinse to keep his breath smelling great, all day long. (combative yelling) therabreath, its a better mouthwash. at walmart, target and other fine stores. the race to be the democratic candidate for mayor in the largest city in the country. and even if you know absolutely nothing about new york city politics, even if youve never been to new york city, youve probably s...

Voting to debate, what theyre voting to adhere to, does it change his mind about whether or not a voting rights bill must have republican votes if it is going to be a legitimate approach to this issue the deserves his attention? we dont know. senators leave at the end of this week to go home for a two-week along july 4th recess. whats senators here from their constituents when they are at home, about the importance of voting rights, that may be determinative here about whether this is now over w...

We saw them discard the data, describe the evidence, saw them focusing on their political goals, on logical goals. thats very much in keeping with this these us. a governing party would approach this entirely differently. and so, that asymmetry, where democrats are pushing it, one-way and republicans are pushing it in a post policy way. that asymmetry is the defining problem, in my mind, of american politics today. >> united talked about this idea this -- for a long time before he wrote the book...

To even talking about a different version of the bill, like for example the significantly reduced iteration of the bill proposed by conservative democratic senator joe manchin of west virginia. senator manchin has been the focus of so much attention on this issue because of the peculiar angle he took on this thing. it wasnt just that manchin said he didnt want to vote for a voting rights bill unless it had republican support. he said that, but he also expressed this relentless and sort of inexpl...

Gonna go after that because you cant do that in america. this is a fundamental right shared by democrats, republicans, independents and everyone who wants to vote in america. this is something our whole country was founded on the simple idea of democracy and these guys whatever they are, cyber ninjas or whatever they are, are messing with us right now and people in this country dont like that. look at what they did in georgia back in january. so weve got major major work in front of us on many f...

All 50 republican senators voted that they should not even be a debate on the voting rights bill, the for the people act. also meant that republicans did not even consent to consider to even talking about a different version of the bill like for example the significantly reduced iteration of the bill proposed by conservative democratic senator peter manchin of west virginia. senator manchin has been the focus of so much attention on this issue because -- because of the peculiar angle he took on ...

Washington know that as long as the filibuster is there, democrats have no options in terms of backing a voting rights. clear on that, we put the republican party being clear on that in terms of whether there was going to be any federal protection for voting rights, including the field for republicans in the states to go maximalist and shameless, as far as they can on this issue. to target voting restrictions, and the administration of elections in a way that is maximally partisan to their advan...

Of the bill proposed by conservative democratic senator joe manchin of west virginia. senator manchin has been the focus of so much attention on this issue because of the peculiar angle he took on this thing. it wasnt just that manchin said he didnt want to vote for a voting rights bill unless it had republican support. he said that, but he also expressed this relentless and sort of inexplicable optimism that some republicans would support voting rights in the end. when he wrote his op-ed in his...

Made this a post-policy party, and in that theyve abandoned the pretense that policymaking, it matters altogether. >> and that means that theres no point in arguing policy with him? essentially? that the field of combat that theyve decided is power only, it has to be power politics. >> exactly, right. republicans focus exclusively on the acquisition and maintenance of power. and then we have democratic senators treating them as if they were a member of the member party. thats leads to inevitable...

Georgia and any klobuchar of georgia were among many democrats today who spoke out in support of fs1, the for the people act, the big voting rights bill ahead of this afternoons first big vote to put it on the senate floor for debate. its already passed the house, if you can pass the senate it will go to president biden he will sign it into law. but that effort to get it on to the senate floor today for debates failed. all 50 republican senators voted against even starting the debate on the bill...
