When you got here, you got pulled out here. walk us through it. >> so i think when i first realized that i was losing control, getting pulled out into the crowd. i was just out here at this set of double doors. it is a little bit misleading. at that time, the inaugural stage was still up and these stairs were covered by a platform. as the officers defending the tunnel, all of us were, you know, repelling this onslot of attackers, the momentum of those officers pushed me all the way out to the th...

Here. and remember just the process of how this would play out. in order to pass bill through the regular order, to overcome a filibuster in the senate, that requires 60 votes. that means 50 democrats, 10 republicans. republicans are steadfast against these two bills that democrats are trying to approve, the freedom to vote act and also the john lewis voting rights act. they oppose that. the other way is to change the rules. in order to change the rules to allow the bill to pass by just 51 votes...

Considering. >> awesome. thats exactly what our democracy needs, continue. >> and, while i continue to support these bills, i will not support separate actions that worsen the underlying disease of division, infecting our country. >> oh, come on. >> there is no need for me to restate our my long-standing support for the 60 vote threshold to pass legislation. theres no need for me to restate its role protecting our country from wild reversals, and federal policy. >> give me a break, senator sinem...

Im not doing it from one side. for us to go it alone, no matter what side does it it comes back at you pretty hard. i was there in and i dont think anybody is happy about that when have you to do those changes. >> is the 60-vote threshold a red line or bipartisanship? >> bipartisanship takes more than just 591-vote threshold. thats what weve always had. theres been talks about three-fifths of those investigate so if that doesnt set a precedent and weve done that before. were looking at all the h...

That we are looking at right there, if they see people stealing things, they have essentially got to itemize things in their head. >> brian: exactly. >> steve: $75. 125. >> brian: more people. >> steve: he is up to 200 bucks. >> steve: exactly. they can say they are for it, but, unless they go back to the way things were, where there was not -- i remember when the threshold was like 25 or 50 bucks. wife make it 400 bucks? why make it 950? it just, ainsley, seems kind of crazy. >> the california ...

Senate in the past, and changing things as necessary to move forward. and so like mike said, there is an audience of one on voting rights as well. but its a little bit more complicated with voting rights, because theres also senator kyrsten sinema of arizona who has also resisted changing senate rules. she wants the 60 vote threshold in order to pass legislation. senator schumer is adamant that they are going to bring up a rules change on the floor if republicans continue to block legislation th...

Legal action. id defer to the department of justice. at this point in time, were encouraging private companies to take steps that have worked around the country, that many of the vast majority of employers that indicated they intend to do. >> when it comes to the lunch that happened today, senator sinema reiterated that she doesnt want to change the threshold. senator manchin said she doesnt want to change that. has the president accepted that he cannot weigh them when it comes to changing the f...

Modest changes, at best, in terms of going to that 60-vote threshold to three fifths of the chamber having to vote for some rules and limiting the ability of the minority to filibuster on a procedural motion. and so kind of allow the debate. will this change the way the senate does business? no, but it is certainly a concession that manchin is making to his fellow democrats to say, we do need to have some changes to the filibuster here. here are some things that i think could actually be done. >...

Outside of the irs purview. neil: you know, jonas, in a weird way its sort of like the alternative minimum tax. i know a night and day comparison, but that sort of started to seek out the super rich who were not paying taxes, and it since grew to about half of all taxpayers, right? i dont know what it is now. what do you think of that? >> its a good analogy because of inflation. there are a lot of thresholds that the irs doesnt adjust for inflation. the $600 number keeps coming up, they use that...
