[overlapping voices] im sitting right here! they saw what happened to george floyd and said, "what can i do?" they saw an organizati...

On fox news and say that we should increase the voting age. nine people couldnt decide what was in their best interest. young people know whats in their own best interest. they dont see any future the republican party. so, the republican party has a. twice they can either decide to change their policy position or they can look towards a very, very stark future for themselves. >> kristina saint sun ramirez, thank you. more american voices next. but first, a look at what else is ahead. tonight on ...

>> thank you, maria. maria: how do you think this debt showdown will play out in the coming months? >> well, i think itll play out in the sense that we have just had the american people speak. the american people were operating under oppressive burden. our $311 trillion -- if 1 -- 31 trillion national department is so much larger hand our economy, that were having a difficult time keeping up with it. in just a few years, were going to see our annual interest on debt skyrocket from around $400 bi...

Recognition of a particular policy position and figured out the rest later. how often do we hear about that on capitol hill? but whats your reaction? >> well, i just think that, again, i feel like the process was just very poorly done. frankly this should be adjudicated in the laws. im not a lawyer, but that seems to be the appropriate venue for this kind of thing. this is sort of a societal problem that were facing right now. it feels like in many circumstances that these sorts of policies, not...

Attempting to disrupt kevin mccarthy from becoming speaker —— category. by doing a pretty effective job of it right now. and it has caused a huge amount of dissension and chaos and it has put mccarthy any position where even he wins this now it is a pyrrhic kind of victory where he will be the weakest speaker in history, he will be controlled from the background by people like marjorie taylor greene and the concessions he has made has put essentially the lunatics in charge of the asylum. the...

Tried to coalesce, then we can see some movement. but i do think that republicans are actually coming into a pretty weekend position, not just internally, but they havent put forward any real ideas other than trying to scare voters into crimes up, immigration is everywhere, but that is just a statement that is not a policy position and it is definitely not a solution. >> and, brandon, as we talk about sort of what is going on in the republican party, former president trump, he posted an article ...

>> anita: good point. katie, let me have you respond. >> president biden has a lot of things he can do here to stop the flow from coming. the truth is the administration is fine with it because they dont want to take on a their progressive base which thinks that the border should be wide open. the fact is, the border was closed under president trump. for political reasons, the biden administration decided to reject every single policy position that was working for the sake of saying theyre repea...

Certainly, we are seeing that divide across political lines. >> our public health officials communicating this to governors like desantis, who are doing things that actively undermine a drive to vaccinate their state populations? the sort of moral bankruptcy of this political strategy has a practical effect on their citizen mortality? >> whats interesting is states, as you know, alex, are fairly insulated. and governor desantis has surrounded himself with individuals like dr. ladapo. -- i use th...

Officials communicating this to governors like desantis, who are doing things that actively undermine a drive to vaccinate their state populations? the sort of moral bankruptcy of this political strategy has a practical effect on their citizen mortality. >> whats interesting is, states, as you know, alex, are fairly insulated. and governor desantis has surrounded himself with individuals like dr. ladapo. -- i use that honorific very lightly here. who essentially kowtows and puts of policy positi...

Mccarthy doing it from the border force the president to deal with the absurdity of, oh, the border is secure when we all know its not? >> i think talking about the border is a legitimate issue. i think holding stunt press concerns, shipping migrants and the other things that you see republican politicians is doing -- doing is illegitimate. kevin mccarthy is the speaker of house, where is what he wants to do? if he wants to build a wall, say it. if he wants to cut off all immigration, say it. th...
