Its only politically helpful to the democrats. on the other hand, if chuck schumer loses this on the senate floor, he gets to turn to joe manchin and say, joe, look at this. as jonathan capehart just outlined, this was a bipartisan piece of legislation created in a bipartisan, traditional way in the house of representatives, and look at what they did, joe manchin. joe, you have to help us change this senate rule on the 60-vote threshold. >> yeah, absolutely. i think option two actually pretty mu...

Could be because some of the younger groups are getting vaccinated. this is an encouraging sign given we have seen the divide with white people far more likely to get the vaccine. >> lets hope that continues. we are seeing gains in terms of americans vaccinated, correct? >> we are absolutely seeing gains. im all for the positive stuff because theres a lot of it right now. all americans with one-plus dose right now its 49.4%. do simple math. what does that tell us, well reach 50% plus if the rate...

Defense department. they had been talking about those issues. they set aside. they deal with the more significant sticking points. one issue that tim scott said off the table is lowering the threshold to actually criminally prosecute police officers. democrats want to move that to make it any reckless conduct could be enough to prosecute police officers. its not going to get into the final package here. well have to see in the days ahead. at least optimism on both sides of the deal is coming. >>...

I mean, the way it worked in samoa is they didnt storm the capitol. they just locked out the incoming prime minister elect. they just locked the door. so their equivalent of an inauguration couldnt happen. the court intervened, they ignored the court so now its a coup. you just hold on by force, thats a coup. and its a question of how long everybody holds their temper right now and tries to talk this out, how long before some further force before a locked door is brought to bear here and i hope ...

Force will not be a big threshold issue for us. force is not going to be a problem. is not going to for the side tho concede in our election. again though, sometimes its harder for us to see this stuff up close than when its farther away. in another direction, but also far away, belarus, the guy in charge there has been in power for 26 years. baylors used to be part of the soviet union, its only had a president since 1994. the same man has been in that job, has been president, there since they e...

Schumer loses this on the senate floor, he gets to turn to joe manchin and say joe, look at this. this is a bipartisan piece of legislation created in a bipartisan traditional way in the house of representatives. and look at what they did, joe manchin, joe, you have to help us change the senate rule on the 60 vote threshold. >> yeah, absolutely. i think that pretty much nails it. if i was advising the democratic -- i would give my two cents worth arguing very strongly, take the bill to the senat...

Hard to see if we could bridge this wide gulf. >> lowering the threshold to criminally prosecute police officers. republican senator tim scott, who youre working with very closely, has said publicly thats off the table as far as hes concerned. whats your response to that? >> again, i start with our fundamental american values. when someone violates the law -- again, this is not about the officers out there who, every single day go into tough situations and do their job. this is about people who ...

Tourists. right? the senate could vote next week. thanks to the filibuster, this could be the first bill under biden to fail because of that ridiculous 60-vote threshold. joining me to discuss, congressman from south carolina and house majority whip james clyburn, who joins me on the phone. thank you for joining me this evening. let me ask you this. senator susan collins says she does think this bill could pass with some compromise. listen to what she said today. >> the two issues i think are re...

Joshua. and this is where youre going to see democrats start to get very antsy and wanting to do something on their own if they cant get republican support on economic issues when it comes to simply taxes and spending. they can go it alone using their majority, a process known as reconciliation thats not subject to the filibuster. but on immigration, on guns, on police reform, you cant do that. you either have to abolish the filibuster or get bipartisan support and they dont right now have the v...

>> it is really troubling. it is not going to increase anybodys trust in the outcome of this election. it is 100% going to find some sort of anomaly and issue. as i said the counting process well call it a recount, certainly does not follow any of the laws that have been followed in prior recounts and audit that is happens in maricopa and allows for discrepancies so they built in sort of a threshold or a tolerance. the ballots of paper audit that i mentioned, these suspicious ballots that theyre...
