The 2022 elections. and all of the actions frankly just. a >> well senator schumer said that he intends to bring up this bill very soon, possibly early next week. and he said that before there was any attempt, by joe manchin to secure the republican votes. and before the republicans announced there will be absolutely no republican votes. so it sounds like senator schumer was going to bring this to a vote, watch this get blocked on the 60 vote threshold, by republicans, and then presumably ask fo...

Consequential for the direction of the future of california, but truly did have national implication, could you imagine if the rest of the country saw california voters choose trump-ism? as a new direction? as a consequence of the newsom in being bold in his leadership early in the pandemic? it would be completely the wrong message but californias are saying the lies theyre saying the truth, and theyre voting the right way in a big. way >> so you are in the room for this very important negotiati...

Race fair and square. he got raked over the coals by trump supporters and he was raked over the coals by republicans. so he knows better than this. >> i want to play a clip from former california gray davis. >> the process in california is relatively easy to qualify for a recall, but it runs the risk of having a governor not meet the 50% threshold on question one. question two, all you have to do is get one more vote than the next person. i propose that going forward after this election it shoul...

Recommended, and covid passports required for people going to certain venues, including night clubs, to prove theyve had two jabs. its not sensible to rule out completely this type of option now, when we must face the fact that it might still make the difference between keeping businesses open at full capacity or not. could you tell us in what circumstances you would impose those extra restrictions, your plan b? do you have a number of cases or hospital admissions that would mean we have passed ...

Supportive of reforming the recall, theyre also reluctant often to give back power to the government. its not guaranteed it would be successful. >> what are governor newsoms chances of hitting that 50% threshold in this recall election? >> if you look at the vote by mail and recent polling, hes in a better position today than he was a month ago. in the summer democrats were worried. with the emergence of elder with his track record, he recently said you should talk about reparations for slave ow...

Elections is fundamental to our constitution. fundamental to our republic and something all senators should sign on to. so hopefully we will have that republican support. if not, then well be looking at how to get it done with 50 democrats because we 50 democrats are determined to defend the constitution. >> well, the only way you can get it done with the 50 democrats is there will have to bere a change in the senate 60 vote threshold. thats the reporting we were just quoting from rolling stone ...

Passed that threshold? were confident we can proceed with plan a, but what i would stress about plan b is that it contains a number of different shots in the locker, and you wouldnt necessarily play them all at once, farfrom it. you would want to do things in a graduated way. but his advisers seemed to be recommending more urgency. when you make a move, you have to go earlier than you think you want to, you have to go harder and you need to make sure youve got the right geographical coverage. if...
