Rights. its been a problem. competing with infrastructure package and other issues in washington. texas democrats have done their job. its the senate and democratic caucus to do their job because republicans have obstructed and will continue to obstruct everything. >> bill, people like jim clyburg said keep the filibuster for other things, not this. if this gets manchin and sinema on board, democrats can do it if they avoid the filibuster. but where are conservatives? must be some in the senate ...

Something has to happen. everybody has spoken, in middle of so-called summer of action, seeing the texas democrats who are holed up in washington trying to do something, begging the federal government. saying we cant keep holding out on this one. seeing people including members of congress being arrested to draw attention to this. seeing new effort that bill is talking about. what has to happen next to not lose the momentum that folks have to entrench voting rights in way that cant be eroded by ...

Many republicans to be gotten. i think joe manchin knows this but wants a bill he can defend, go to republicans and say you want some amendments? go ahead, lets have a debate. i think will find few willing to debate or let it come to the floor, have an honest exchange of ideas, amendments and different proposals. once manchin goes through the process he will feel hes done what he can. big believer in bipartisanship to do that. then question is, is he willing to carve out something in the filibus...

Back into office according to the guy or reelected again? >> theres less trumpy republicans in the open seats and challenger races for senate and house. so far doesnt look good for those republicans. liz cheney says it all, right? republican went with trump reluctantly but most things for four years. broke on what he did after november 3rd, said it was unacceptable and continued to say that. how many cheney republicans are there in the house? >> that says it all. thanks to both of you, great con...

Disappointed, its not as broad, but all the democrats can support and republicans should support and ex-republicans or whatever i am now, sort of republicans, can urge in honesty and good faith be supported. doesnt have progressive wish list. its targeted to make sure the elections are free and fair and secure, has conservative ideas, too, such as voter i.d., a generous one that everyone can get, still thats always a republican talking point. thats unveiled at some point next week, maybe not fin...

Anyway. >> republicans in the house have structural advantage in redistricting and normal difficulties party in power has first years in white house. voters say great, got bills through, want biden not to go too far. thats what republicans are counting on. i think democrats can do more to discredit the republicans in house. they have to make it unacceptable for kevin mccarthy to be swing voters. tying the crazies in house. 60% voted to overturn the election. greene and gaetz, mainstream republic...

Welcome back tolliver and kristol. ill start with you, bill, do you have any information about what republicans might do with a voting rights bill that is being brought to the united states senate? >> im afraid end of the day very few republicans will support any of the possible bills going to be brought. but good news, if you believe that the federal government has to step in as attorney general says, protect voting rights and election overturning, make sure we have free and fair elections in 2...

January 6th to see if we can prevent it happening in the future. >> what is the significance of this? >> its a refreshing tone. what we just heard from denver, his addition to the committee had been rumored for some time, frankly in the minority right now. there are two republicans on the committee, cheney and -- but murphy yanked his nominees because some of them probably will be called as witnesses for role they played january 6th. its hard to do both. its unclear what the time table of the co...
