Plans that shes put out. it will be interesting to see if she is able to do that on the debate stage with limited amount of time with so many other candidates to deal with and how shes able to bring up this plan in particular which is interesting because it mentioned election security in particular which is something that even congress is currently negotiating. obviously the president made news on recently by saying hes not ruling out using materials obtained by foreign interference. so, you kno...

The reality should be even more upsetting and democrats are not jumping up and down about getting funding for those kids. they say they want to help but then it doesnt happen. i think fighting the good fight matters. sometimes results or not. >> exactly. well, i will say that on the election security, were going to make a big fight about this. we started today to get it on the defense authorization bill. >> good. >> that money we got last time was 3% of the cost of one air carrier. and as you kn...

Youre better than this president, doesnt that have to include the ability to work with congress and not just unilateral within the executive? >> of course it does and im someone, as you know, one of the things i did with this plan was show 100 bills that i passed where im the lead democrat and its everything from drug shortages to work on that, to doing something about getting the $300 million for election security. >> right. >> those are -- >> theres still nothing on that, right, senator? i cal...

Saying at that rally. those are the amount of people who are going to turn out to vote. >> youre fighting the good fight, you put forth something thats bipartisan to fix the elections. that is a big deal. i wouldnt let it go just because mitch mcconnell says im not putting it on the floor. >> thats what were doing this week. >> i think what alexandria ocasio-cortez is talking about at the border, she wants to call them concentration camps, fine, the reality should be even more upsetting and demo...

To aassemble, that we have the freedom of the press, treat each other as citizens and he doesnt even do that in terms of how he goes after people of color, how he goes after immigrants. he does it every single day. >> senator, doesnt a return to decenty also include a rush to compromise. i know some on the left dont like that right now. if youre going to show that youre better than this president, doesnt that have to include the ability to work with congress and not within the executive. >> of c...

Obligation to protect our elections. we will continue to press leader mcconnell to allow debate and were going to hold stand-alone votes, vote after vote, on the many bills that already exist on election security. senate republicans need to step up and help. i am -- i want to make this very clear. democrats are determined not to let leader mcconnell and senate republicans sweep the issue of securing elections from foreign interference under the rug. >> this latest push comes after legislation pr...

A key group is doing everything they can, the ring master, senator mitch mcconnell. now, hes been careful to say that these threats and challenges are real, our responsibility to strengthen america is serious. hes just not going to actually allow the senate to do anything about it. remember it was mcconnell who stopped any bipartisan statement condemning russian interference in 2016 according to former dni james clapper and now the man who calls himself the grim reaper has killed common sense le...

And i think thats what mcconnell is alluding to that the ducks are just not in a row. im not defending or criticizing anybody -- >> i get that. youre just reporting on it. >> thats exactly what is going through some of these senators minds as they talk about this. obviously, an incredibly charged issue, and it was heightened by the fact that jon stewart was down here in a congressional hearing room and it was empty. the optics different when it comes to this situation. >> this, of course, just a...

And that looking forward to this next election is really dangerous. because were talking about election security measures that have been blocked by mitch mcconnell. and now potentially the duty to report advances by the russian government. remember the warnings from bob mueller. the beginning and end of his report, warnings about the russian government planning their interference. vladimir putins stat rategy of sowing discord and disinformation. that the zoep and breadth of interference is alarm...

Of the deep state -- im putting quotes around that to make fun of it -- and you look at the president of the united states and you say, the president of the united states has abdicated his oath of office. did he it the other day on george stephanopouloss interview. hes not protecting the naks security interest of the united states. hes not committed to protecting our election security. we can take measures that would achieve that. are you working for the president, or are you working for the uni...
