For via tax hikes. republican bill cassidy is one of the lead negotiators. >> just trying to popularize it, take the temperature of people and see what theyre interested in. its paid for, so i think thats a real threshold issue for a lot of people. its going to build a lot of bridges and roads which of course every state needs them. so i think its good. >> over here at the white house, white house officials saying the president appreciates a senators work to advance critical networks we need to ...

Meet the legal threshold. in other words, his speech was inflammatory, but it wasnt specific enough to be a directive, an order to carry out an attack at the capitol. so while the investigation wasnt open about that, i want to make it clear, this isnt a done deal. this is a wide sprawling investigation. other evidence is coming in. theres a lot of unanswered questions, but when it comes to donald trump and his speech before the insurrection, members within the fbi and doj decided there wasnt eno...

I had congressman clyburn on the show the other day with me. he referred to it as the spa filibuster. all the people filibustering could be at the spa and it is the people trying to stop the filibuster that have to show one the 60 votes. that would be a very valuable change. >> could democrats vote to change the 60-vote threshold of the filibuster? maybe 55? >> yes. >> they could. that was an idea that former senator harkin had, that you gradually move it down week after week until you finally g...

>> then on herd immunity, fauci admitted to lying about the threshold level for political reasons. he didnt want people to forego medication or the vaccine telling the new york times last december, when polls said only about half of all americans would take a vaccine, i was saying herd immunity would take 70 to 75%. then when newer surveys said 60% or more would take it, i thought, i could nudge this up a bit so i went to 80, 85. this is stunning. so mr. science was not about science at all. it ...
