Is next week. so we are going to be holding our senate accountable to that promise that they have made to the country. we will remain vigilant, but we have also stated publicly that we are willing and will escalate if necessary whether that is starting hunger strikes in a larger capacity, or if participating in another tactic. we are committed to ensuring that this bill passes, because our entire futures hang in the balance of this bill moving, and we would rather endure another hunger strike or...

It. as i said, for better or for worse. we dont know yet whether joe biden is going to do the same. this isnt the first time he has spoken in strong terms about the threat to our democracy. in july, in a major speech at the national constitution center, he actually said that election subversion by the republicans is the gravest threat to our democracy since the civil war. those are very big words from an american president. and we are not seeing yet what he intends to do about it. >> matt, this ...
