Senator, but guess what, this means some state legislatures want to make it harder for to you vote f. you do vote, they want to be able to tell you whether or not your vote counts. thats not how it should be. they want something, you are going to reject the final vote and ignore the will of the people, if their preferred is black, white, asian, latino, it doesnt matter, if their candidate doesnt win, theyre targeting not just voters of color but every voter that doesnt rote the way they want. i ...

Doesnt win a lot of games. secretary, i do want to ask you this -- >> thats true. >> if the infrastructure bill does come up for a vote today, is the administration asking that these progressives vote for it? >> obviously the administration has negotiated this infrastructure bill and they want to see it happen. but they are also extremely respectful of the speaker and of what is happening in the senate. so im going to let those conversations happen behind the scenes, but obviously the president ...

>> you spoke very passionately about this today. you said what republicans were doing with audits across the country. indeed in your county now you said its the strategy of one party to burn it all to the ground when their candidate doesnt win. now that youre up against that, and that is about -- that is -- thats your county in which you are the highest elected official, what is what does fighting that look like? what does standing up to that look like? weaver been talking about not underestimat...

To make it impossible to register a winner as a kind of consensus reality, you make self-governance impossible. >> thats exactly it. if you say, for example, as trump did and as some republican candidates are beginning to say again now, that theres no way i lose this election unless its rigged, thats a declaration of intent. thats a declaration that that is game which youre not allowed to lose, that theres only one acceptable answer, only one legitimate governing party, and that if the republica...

Efforts in other states. talk a little bit about how these ongoing lies, this misinformation, is just continuing to grow and cause problems today. >> i think there is the acute problem, which is that it is still causing this incitement. and at points, mobilization, that we have seen over the past months. we have been on air because the capitol has become a magnet. state and local capitals have become a magnet for protests and even incitement to violence. over the longer term, i think it really d...

Inside the capitol complex at all. it is a ghost town in many ways. the house and senate are not in session so basically the only human beings that are inside the capitol complex this weekend are reporters like me and police officers. there are very few if any staff members, typical for a saturday. i dont mean to be flip about this but its an important point to make about the distinctions between today and what was happening on january 6. the house and senate were convening to certify the presid...

I was denied a sec term. any election a gop member doesnt win is invalid. we shouldnt be shy of calling them on it, that the threat of violence animates every election in which a gop member does not win at this stage. we saw it in california, going to see it in the lead-up to 2022. i dont like it but i like that you see a calling out of it before they have an ability to organize. it muted some of that radicalization but he is the most popular person in the gop and until they push back and realiz...

Books from prior election loaded on so that when they came to vote electronically in person, it was shown that they had already voted in the last election. so this is dominant really under my confidence of voters in the story spread like wildfire when in fact, when we got those saturday from a few voters and any voters being misled and told their vote is going to count is too many. that is incompetent and something else. there are other issues to talk about but ultimately, they will need to be l...

Largely pre-butting the results and saying that if he doesnt win, hes expecting shenanigans. now hes being -- that is being echoed by people from donald trump to republican media figures andeler sees the same shenanigans that he saw in the 2020 election which are baseless. he expects them to happen in california. the governor is taking these on and questioning this closing argument. here is what he said to a audience in sun valley, california, just yesterday. >> his closing argument is i will fi...
