Rhetoric weve seen about masking and mitigation measures? >> i think weve become somewhat anesthetized to the death and disease, quite frankly, because its grown slowly over time. if we had 2,000 deaths a day a year ago, it would have been a far greater tragedy in the minds of many people than it is right now, because weve become more complacent to the risks. so that is deeply unfortunate. i will say from the standpoint of the achievement of getting people vaccinated, now fully 77% of all adults...

I think we have to let everybody know who is listening and everyone could have a different opinion whether there is enough evidence. the distinct between proving something at trial and arresting someone prior to trial is huge. why? because when you go to arrest someone, what is probable cause mean? it means two things. number one there is reason to believe that a crime was committed and, two, that the accused committed it. >> lets do this. lets do this. that is the law. that is the analysis. let...

And as we saw from an independent study from movies, threatening 6 million jobs and 16 trillion dollars in lost wealth and more. so this is what mitch mcconnell is prepared to do, apparently for political reasons. i dont understand his calculus here, i think the american people will hold him responsible if there is damage done. >> so what is happening here is that if the democrats -- if chuck schumer brings up a change to the debt ceiling, mcconnell is saying that the republicans will require a ...

Ive never disagreed with the ruling of senate parliamentarian. i disagreed with senate rolls a lot, and ive come to completely view both derision the 60 vote threshold, which really should be eliminated. because we have the 60 vote threshold for everything that isnt reconciliation, it puts this enormous pressure on reconciliation to throw in these things that were never designed to be in reconciliation. so, it seems to me the parliamentarians ruling on immigration, if you really want to see that...

Hair in it. >> norm, i was struck that when senate parliamentarian elizabeth mcdonoughs advisory ruling leaked out where she was saying that, of course, you cannot put major new immigration law into a reconciliation package, according to the rules of reconciliation. she wasnt saying you cant do it. she was just saying that her interpretation of the rules say you cant do it, and there was all this outrage about the very existence of a senate parliamentarian and, you know, get rid of her and put s...

Enormous pressure on reconciliation to throw in all these things that were never designed to be in reconciliation, so it seems it ome that the parliamentarians ruling on immigration, if you really want to see that kind of legislation passed comes down to the 60-vote rule in the senate, the 60-vote threshold that has to be overcome and should be eliminated. >> youre exactly right, lawrence. the parliamentarian looks at what the rules are under reconciliation, and shes right that this is a major l...

Youve just outlined. we know it because alan braid, a veteran physician whos been involved for 50 years in the medical profession, has been out in the open in recent days saying that he has carried out an abortion on...to help a woman with a foetus that was well beyond the six—week threshold. im just wondering whether any citizen vigilante has done anything to pursue dr braid or any of the other people involved in that operation? well, so, you and dr braid both set up this straw man — this i...

Negotiations are not going be finalized in the next couple days. there is a little bit of time here and were very confident that one of the alternative plans that will be presented in the coming days will meet the threshold and the criteria the parliamentarian has laid out. so please stay tuned. this in the process but we are not giving up the fight. we know how important this is particularly for my home state of california. i want to make sure i make this point because representative of so many...

Concerned? >> look, i dont think were there yet frankly because we have thoughtful, second proposal, third proposal to get to yes as i mentioned and provide the much deserved, well earned protections for millions of people in the united states. so thats what the task is at hand. we got the answer last night from the parliamentarian on the first proposal we went to her with. clearly the budget reconciliation process and the infrastructure package negotiations are not going be finalized in the nex...

In power. pence and key republicans in congress were skeptical there was such a path, yet some kept telling trump and his legal team they were going to look for ways to help. >> its politics and they are riding both horses, and -- and pence is the model of this. pence is really working hard to see if he can do something to stay on the good side of trump. >> its just scary, scary because of the threat and its also lunacy as you read through it in the sense that, you know, heres this memo from joh...
