Would be far easier and more likely. >> yeah, so i think in the first one, since they are looking at the straight obstruction charge rather than the conspiracy, its a much higher threshold that trump oversaw a massive conspiracy that involved both the political elements and the violent extremist group evidence, and the justice department is, you know, going to have to weigh up the evidence and see if they can act on a referral. so the committee has to be very careful, and i think its important t...

On and really the focus here as martin luther king iii have told me time and time again leading up to the day and the events, no celebration until legislation. that this cannot be separated from his fathers mission and his fathers legacy, that his father in fact pushing for not only the civil rights act of 64 but the voting rights act of 65. there is a tremendous amount of pressure being put on the president as well as members of congress, the two democratic senators, senator sinema and manchin ...

The first company to cross that threshold. that is more than the entire stocks put together on the london stock exchange. >> neil: yeah. more than charles payne is worth. charles, im wondering, you know, the fed is never -- if you think about it -- able to orchestrate a soft landing. it gets done, but its generally not for the feint of heart. what do you see happening? >> economic purists, economists that study this stuff, the austrian school of economics, they dont feel like they engineer add s...

Like its gonna happen. listen to senator joe manchin today. >> we need some good rule changes to make the place work better. but getting rid of the filibuster doesnt make it work better. >> okay. getting rid of the filibuster doesnt make it work better. that is today. and senator kyrsten sinemas office released a statement weeks ago, making her position clear. she is in favor of voting rights ledge slagsz, she says, but she, quote, continues to support the senates 60-vote threshold to protect th...

Increasingly has become kind of a magic act. that also allows you to have a unique perspective on the challenges facing someone like joe manchin, elected as a democrat and a trump supporting state like west virginia. youve been in conversation with senator manchin. you know a lot of his thinking. u knowas we approach this vote senator schumer has promised on voting rights, which could require a vote on changing senate rules to remove a 60 vote threshold to get to a vote on voting rights, what do...

Democrats say -- democratic leaders say could take months and months to get through if every single senator speaks for lets say 24 hours and theyre allowed to speak twice in one piece of legislation. if all the opposing parties do that, it could take a very long time. and at the end of that, when no one is able to speak anymore, time has run out, then it would be a simple majority to pass the legislation. and that is what senators sinema and senators manchin do not support because what is change...

Can we put those on the screen together? i think we have them from a bunch of different states. theres the five i just mentioned. as you can see, its the same basic information on all of them. all these documents serve the same purpose, they all meet the constitutional threshold they need to meet in order to convey the information differently. but they all look a little different. they convey the information visually a little differently. depending on how the state felt about this particular top...

Democrats need every one of their 50 senators to change the rules of the filibuster to overcome what is overwhelming republican opposition. i want to play some of what senator sinema had to say on the floor. >> while i continue to support these bills, i will not support separate actions that worsen the underlying disease of division infecting our country. the debate over the senates 60-vote threshold shines a light on our broader challenges. theres no need for me to restate my long standing supp...

Civil rights act that desegregated this country and the voting rights act that dr. king and john lewis fought for and if it were a call that it would only pass with 51 votes, it could not get the 60 shoets, how would she have voted then? my guess is she would have voted with the 51 votes, she would have thought that is so important to the equality of this country that i would be willing to make the exception. if thats the case why doesnt it apply now? or she should explain maybe she wouldnt have...
