Need to put those bills on the floor and force them to make a choice. >> what do you make of the slowness that brian just articulated there? >> i think that hes right. i think, yes, the filibuster is in the way, but joe manchin himself is in the way. i dont blame schumer for not wanting to put bills on the floor if he doesnt have manchins support. its embarrassing to get not quite a majority. they dont want to embarrass manchin, but they want to make it so for the bill he supports, a majority wo...

Control, potentially lgbtq equality legislation and then the showdown over the giant voting rights bill s 1 but it is hard to see them budging and saying the same thing for months and hard to see where the votes for the legislation will come from even if you did get rid of the filibuster. it is kind of a black box trying to glean into the thinking on this issue but neither have budged on this in congress. >> nothing more frustrating for a reporter like yourself than a black box. tia, i want to g...

Republicans led by mitch mcconnell in the senate could just dig in. and we have seen mcconnell as recently as the vote on the january 6 commission that outside of the capitol has pretty widespread support but inside the capitol is very partisan. and mitch mcconnell dug in and chum r schumer couldnt get to 60 votes to get the commission moved forward so i think thats the risk is would republicans be emboldened to oppose these voting bills because they think the bills if passed would make it easie...

Certainly its an important -- its an important moment in the timeline, of course, because there will be movement then. we have seen speaker pelosi talk about how she wants to move forward with infrastructure in june, and schumer has talked about how he wants to move forward with infrastructure in july. the president is not here to set new deadlines. >> she said they are not here to set new deadlines. we know democrats have put deadlines on this and said they want to see more movement. and some d...

See that florida is getting more prosperous and california, so woke, are suffocating. why are democrats re-litigating the past? one thing is for darn sure, its not because they care about black people. its about power and the next election. its obvious that biden and pelosi and schumer refuse to offer minority voters policies that will make them better off. the only way the democrats can keep winning election size by terrorizing black americans into believing that half of the country hates them ...

For republicans to do the right thing is a misstep. i would go forward, i would offer -- president biden has a huge full agenda of so much he wants to do for the economy and the american people. democrats should respond and a vote together, now through reconciliation. and then move on to the rest of the bipartisan agenda. >> more -- mary tracey, that is kind of the way the democrats always used to operate in the senate, when they were in power. and that is to publicly strategize about how to get...

Your freedom back, they are going to dangle the prospect of getting back to normal but only if you get your shots. democrats want you to choose between giving your child the drug they dont need in order to get an education they desperately do need. parents will have difficult decisions to make and dedication will rightly be pursued and there will be many difficulties ahead for families but there is no doubt that republicans are beginning to win again and it is making pelosi and schumer very very...

Is an msnbc contributor. ana, good to see you this morning. it took this last-straw stunt for democrats to walk out and deny republicans a quorum to stop the bill for now at least in the state of texas. what is happening in the congress, though, on capitol hill in terms of voting rights. whats the future of these pieces of legislation? >> i think jonathan laid that out pretty well. but basically, were all looking to july. chuck schumer has said, that is when he plans to bring hr-1, this kind of ...

Had will call for a special session of the legislature to restart the whole process, democratic texas lawmakers say they will ready for that. >> we have plenty of tactics and strategies at our disposal and we will fight every single day to protect the sacred right to vote in texas. we know what happens in florida, georgia, and if they team roll us here, they will make it very hard for everyone to vote. >> meantime, all the way in the east in washington, democrats on capitol hill are trying to fi...

Shots. democrats want you to choose between giving your child a drug they dont need in order to get an education desperately do need. parents are going to have very difficult decisions to make in litigation will rightly be pursued. and there will be many difficulties ahead for our families, but theres no doubt that republicans are beginning to win again and its making pelosi and schumer very, very nervous. the shouldve never bowed down to the far left on things like border policy or climate chan...
