Graduation. he was strong on voting rights and all but said that, look, this is more important, this is more fundamental. build back better, after all, is a matter of arithmetic. this is fundamental to democracy and hes serious about it, and i hope other senators are serious as well. >> jonathan alter, we three have watched this, the debate about the senate rule evolve over what is now many years. i can remember the first time it started to come up as a serious discussion point was during the ge...

Jordan, scott perry, the republican from pennsylvania. how important is it to the january 6th committees work now. they crossed the threshold into investigating sitting members to find out what sitting republicans -- in fact, all republicans who they suspect may have had something to do with the planners behind the efforts to overturn the election? >> it is a big step in the committee. congressman perry said he will not comply with the committees efforts. but it shows the committees work advance...
