Decay. much of the debate that we have in this country right now is between the truth and the lie. if you want to understand where the front in our fight is, in the civics of the moment, in this idea of, if we can expand it, what the public good is, all of this is at its core a contest between the truth and the lie. and trump has sustained an auto autocratic movement, made it more extreme, hardened it on the basis of a lie and its a lie of power, a lie of authority that requires submission of th...

Jim crow in the 21st century is now a sinister combination of voter suppression and election subversion, and theyre targeting not just voters of colors, as i said, but every voter who doesnt vote the way they want. >> president biden today at the martin luther king memorial in washington describing crystal clear terms the unrelenting assault on voting rights across this country. one day after republican senators unanimously blocked new voting rights legislation that would combat restrictive voti...

With equally bad sequels because this is now the third voting rights bill that senate republicans have blocked and every time we hear its going to lead to a conversation about the filibuster and then nothing changes with the filibuster and therefore democracy is undermines more and more. and every time the vote is blocked, more and more voter se precious laws, gerrymandered, election laws, go through. so what this means for voters, if democrats fail to pass voting rights legislation, it means th...

It out from the filibuster as claire just explained. is all of that sort of public opinion? is that political power reality check? on their minds? or what do you think happens next, ari? >> i think clearly the parties have different priorities. the central organizing principle of the republican party is voter suppression and election subversion and extreme gerrymandering and theyve done those things in the first nine months of this year following an attempt to try to overturn an election and an ...

Committees investigation. the issue in front of us today is our ability to do our job. finally there seems to be some urgency in washington regarding the subversion of justice. people trying to flout the law and subpoenas. and we need that urgency when it comes to getting something done, a deal on infrastructure, and especially voting rights. where is the lie? am i wrong? >> well, i agree with that. i dont know where the january 6 committee gets you in terms of what i believe the hill was to die...
