I do think it s a pipe dream. the president can t even get 50 senators, let alone 60 to change the filibuster. the filibuster can t be used or not just because you don t get your desired outcome. the fill buster is a feature of the constitution. it s not a flaw of the constitution. i think any time he s out there, he really should discuss the united states in a positive light, not blaming a major branch of our government. congressman kennedy, something about the filibuster changing the rules as you want to do, as joe biden said should be done for voting rights and abortion rights. it s entirely likely that republicans will take the senate back this november. and if not this november, in two years or four years. it flips back and forth. once you get rid of the filibuster, you get rid of the filibuster. you only do it for abortion rights. that s not going to mean

She actually alrespects what he done. it s not like he s goingnto the lion s den there. they re just trying to figure out what happened so it doesn t happen again. and congressman kennedy, speaking about disinformation, i ll not responsible for things my uncle says and vice versa. but i have to ask you because your uncle, rob f. kennedy jr. is a known spreader of anti-vaccine propaganda. he has been for decades. and he made a lot of news not long ago in this rally against vaccinations and vaccination mandates when he invoked nazi, germany talking about vaccinations in the united states. even in hitler, germany, you can cross the alps into switzerland. you can hide in an attic like anne frank did. i visited 1962 east germany with my father and met people who had climbed the wall and escaped. so it was possible. today, the mechanisms are being

Votes. he admits it. yeah. which again, i agree with lindsey graham in saying, you know, first of all, that was not appropriate. to go ahead and pardon those people, the january 6th rioters, is actually inappropriate also. he seems to jump to a different planet. i can t understand where he s going. he doubles down on, let s be very clear. an attack from one branch of government to another. he thinks that s totally appropriate to accomplish what he wants to accomplish for his own good. he s forgotten the president of the united states is to serve the american people. not himself. congressman kennedy, you re a former district attorney. what is your legal take on how these admissions might take into the committee s investigation? we heard testimony from the

Russia continues its incursion into ukraine, but this is the situation we re in that s sort of this crisis of vladimir putin s own creating. i believe it s a direct result of president biden s handling of afghanistan. so by that precipitous withdrawal from our longstanding nato-led coalition in afghanistan, i think he signaled to the kremlin that he s willing to take more of a back seat on foreign policy. whereas former president trump was regularly accused of being, you know, just thinking about america, being an isolationist, but i think there was a sense that he was willing to be tough when he needed to be and that s sort of an open question now with president biden. we ll see what comes in brussels and vienna. it s positive he s promising sanctions but it may require something stronger than that. white house officials have actually faced questions about the afghanistan aspect of this and how it s played out on the world stage. they don t think it s a factor into it, not a major one at least. congressman kennedy, talking to the domestic agenda that s happening for democrats. they re back in washington next
