Really going to happen? >> first of all, you know there are pro-choice republicans, specifically senator collins is pro-choice and senator murkowski has voted pro-choice. but what i think we need to do and ive always believed this is for a number of months now i have been asking for this and that is to abolish the filibuster. our countrys basically on fire. theres floods that have wiped out major portions of the south that dont have a power grid in new orleans right now. what were seeing on the ...

It. he knows theyre not written into the constitution. theres nothing sacred about them. theres multiple ways to do it. he needs to make it clear. the end of the day the person who can put the most pressure on joe manchin, on kristin sinema, even encourage senator murkowski is joe biden. >> ben jealous, thanks for joining us. former member of the naacp. i know its been a day -- an intense day out in the hot sun. thank you for being here tonight to help us understand. >> thank you. always good to...

You also have to step up president biden and ensure that the voting rights of your fellow americans are protected. and he is a master of the senate, like president johnson, and he knows what the problem is. so just call it out, mister president. tell your former colleagues in the senate, they have got to get these bills through and if that means changing the rules, so be it. he knows these rules are going into the constitution, theres nothing sacred about them. and there are multiple ways of doi...

The fact that senator lankford didnt vote in the senate to overturn the presidential election results to try to keep trump in power. it is not surprising perhaps for a rabid trump supporters to be primarying a u.s. senator for that purpose. but perhaps it is surprising that the oklahoma republican party chairman is endorsing that challenger against the sitting republican senator from oklahoma. the chairman of the state party is endorsing the challenger. the challenger is challenging lankford spe...

Surprising lisa murkowski is facing a trumpy primary challenge like this in alaska but this weekend try to retain the ability to be surprised, the state republican party in alaska just endorsed that challenger. against their sitting republican senator. because the state party now endorses her challenge to murkowski which is on the basis of the fact murkowski ought to have voted to overthrow the election results to keep trump in power. i dont know what is personally driving the former president a...

Problem because she was more of an enigma on this than manchin. much of the work that ive done, along with al franken, has been aimed at trying to get joe manchin to a place where he could say, were not ending or weakening the filibuster, were restoring it while were actually doing something thats going to provide opportunities to vote and to put the burden on the minority where it belongs. and i think the actions today demonstrating that not a single republican actually deviated from this rheto...

Parallels with the republicans were saying today. not a single one went along. not one other than senator murkowski, has gone along with joe manchins effort to get the john lewis voting rights act. so, what comes next is to maybe have one or two, or three more examples that show the republicans are going to unite together to block everything the democrats want that is meaningful and that it is time to bring about a change. and hopefully, you can have the same kind of arguments with cinema that w...

>> you accept this compromise even if voter id was part of it? >> that is one of the fallacies of republican talking points that is deeply disturbing. no one has ever objected to having to prove who you are to vote. >> really? >> we have a right to vote in the united states but weve seen over the last 20 years the construction on who has the right to use that right. weve seen it through voter id laws, that is rigging the game. laura: of course theres a reason abrams is willing to look like a tot...

Laid out, even if voter i.d. was part of it? >> thats one of the fallacies of republican talking points has been deeply disturbing. and no one has ever objected to having to prove who you are to vote. >> laura: oh, really? >> we have a right to vote in the united states, but weve seen over the last 20 years a constriction on who has the right to use that right. we seen it through voter i.d. laws, thats rigging the game. >> laura: of course theres a reason that abrams is william to look like a to...
