of course they cover for stacey abrams. they will cover for her toxic hypocrisy slinging around the jim crow and race baiting. it serves democrats interest. interestingly to flush that out for a second, i think the media will enable anything as misleading as it is that furthers serves democrat interest. to that point and that distinction community, a coalition of black community leaders and business owners called out stacy abrams last month for promoting misinformation about georgia election law that lead to the boycotts that harris just mentioned. stacey abrams doesn't speak for the black community. she speaks for the white liberals. >> emily: this is what we're seeing reinforced by the liberal media. >> harris: now she's backtracking. >> kayleigh: yes and stacey abrams doesn't care about facts apparently. just ahead as we see a record smashing surge of migrants crossing the border, why is the white house now giving vice president harris a seventh, a seventh roll when she has yet to conquer her first task of tackling the b

stacey abrams is a well-known national figure at this point. she's beloved by the democratic party and by progressives, and credited with helping turn georgia into joe biden's column. in the 2020 election. and getting those two democratic senators over the hurdle. in january, and the special elections. and yet she is reviled by the conservative base, by the republican party because she's seen as activists, because she seen as threatening the status quo for republicans and to former president trump in particular. i think blunt was trying to have something of a dog whistle there too conservative republican voters out in the country, in explaining why the republican senators at this point appear to be united in trying to resist and oppose this voting legislation. >> lisa, i have one for you, this reminder of exactly how popular obamacare was with the last president, just a reminder we will discuss on the other side. >> someone said the other day, but is the first thing you are going to do? we are going to work immediately on repealing obamacare. t

so your thoughts on senator blunt and stacey abrams? >> well, you know, senator blunt's attempt to demonize stacey abrams' support for the joe manchin proposal is a tactic republicans have used for years in an effort to discredit support for an important piece of legislation. the fact that stacey abrams gave a full-throated support for joe manchin's proposal doesn't mean she supports every part of the bill. she recognizes it's an important building block to protect morn democracy where it is most at risk. after all, jonathan, 14 states have enacted over 22 new restrictions between january and mid-may of this year making it harder for people to vote. the manchin proposal addresses many of those restrictions. and i should point out that those restrictions came from very partisan republican state legislatures, recognizing that members of the national republican party have embraced their proposals. so the fact that joe manchin is willing to test the parameters of bipartisan ship doesn't trouble me at all. he is an institutionalist. he belie

he said, quote, when stacey abrams immediately endorsed manchin's proposal, it became the stacey abrams they so freaked out by your track record and what you're doing? is it because trump lost georgia? is it because they lost two seats and power of the senate? what is that about? >> i first think it's deeply disrespectful to his fellow senator joe manchin. joe manchin has demonstrated a remarkable autonomy. the fact that i agree with this offer of compromise and to negotiate, should be seen as a sign of him being a statesman, someone willing to work towards the betterment of our nation, to make sure no matter what your party, your citizenship is protected. that said, i think the challenge we're facing on the republican side is when my name is attached, they have visions of georgia and the change in election outcomes. the reality is we're not guaranteed victory every cycle, but we should all be guaranteed access and guaranteed opportunity. that should not be something that they find so terrifying. in fact, if i were in sthar shoes, i would find my best way to mute me. solve the problem s

abrams substitute, not the joe manchin substitute. >> there you go. as for house senate democrats view the bill, they met thursday afternoon to figure out a way to pass it through the senator. senator manchin said he spoke quite bate during the meeting and the democrats made a hot of progress. others told reporters after the meeting they wanted to move forward with the bill and things were going in the right direction. as for what happens next, they're set to vote on the bill on tuesday, the procedural motions to start the process, however, republicans are likely to block it unless democrats find ten republicans to bypass the filibuster and we already answered that particular question. joining us now, author of "the washington post" early morning newsletter "power up." good to see you. thank you for being here. this voting rights bill, it's one that, you know, when we were looking at what senator manchin laid out, you know, there are certainly some things in it that many democrats don't necessarily want to see. i think they're trying to or , how to pu

abrams: he does.uld also be said ellsberg did not turn over to the times the entirety of the pentagon papers. he cap what he called the negotiating volumes, which is to say volumes of the pentagon papers as they existed in 1968 relating to efforts to negotiate a way out of vietnam, because he wanted the war to end in vietnam and did not want to frustrate those efforts. so, the times did not have everything, it did not publish everything it had, but ellsberg did not give them everything, also. mr. olson: maybe it's a little bit of devils advocacy, but everybody who does something like this, every whistleblower, every person who lease information thinks of themselves as a patriot. they are doing it because they think it is right, they think it is a better good. so you have to have been discussion at least of whether or not you have a legitimate government elected by the people subject to laws and subject to the constitution, can an individual decide it is better for me to do something to try to stop the

virginia, his proposals for voting rights legislation are getting support of the advocate stacey abrams welcomed by several other democrat just the proposals include making election day a public holiday, mandate at least 15 consecutive days of early voting, ban partisan gerrymandering and require voter i.d. withal termtives. democrats have been firmly against identification of any kind before but even that part of manchin's compromise got the abram's note and what she had to say about manchin's proposal today. >> i am endorsing the fact that we now have a list of priorities and that manchin is at the table and part of the conversation. i think that he makes common sense opportunities available for compromise. it is only going to be through federal legislation to negate or mitigate the harms created at the state level. >> remember here are the stakes nearly 400 bills that would make it harder for americans to vote are proposed in 48 of the 50 state just manchin's proposal still needs sup important of ten senate republicans to pass and comes as the hill and other media outlets report majo

the mansion abrams to step, that's the focus of tonight's angle.e so many liberals, stacey abrams has strong feelings about voter i.d. laws. it's racist, it's a redux of jim crow, in a suit and tie. >> laura: how interesting, given what she just said about the election law proposal from senator joe manchin. >> i was surprised to hear you come out and endorsed senator manchin's legislation, told me about that? >> it's an important step forward as we try to protect the freedom to vote and protect votes, he makes common sense opportunities available for compromise. >> laura: now, why is this a curious development, you may be asking? because the measure that abrams said was racist like 5 minutes ago it is much like the proposal she just gave a thumbs up to. "the new york times" writes, the mansion plans resembles the georgia system in more fundamental ways, including a nationwide voter i.d. requirements. in just a few months, voter i.d. went from jim crow to common sense. what a joke! of course, when cnn pressed abrams on her obvious hypocrisy, her res

it's not surprising that stacy abrams would support manchin's support on this. support any of the reforms that democrats are proposing because much of the laws that are created in states are fed by republicans. what we've seen in texas, in georgia, in arizona. those are republican-led state legislatures trying to pass stricter voting laws. so any sort of efforts by democrats to pass voting reforms are going to be blocked by republicans. it's no surprise there. >> i agree, alex, that it is no surprise. specifically mitch mcconnell coming out and shutting down the compromise. no surprise there. where does all of that leave democrats especially when they have someone in the white house touting bipartisanship? >> it leaves democrats really stuck right now is what happens. now they're in a situation where, you know, joe biden has been very publicly supportive and delegated to vice president kamala harris that is now one of her issues and it does not appear at this moment to be a clear path forward and pass the reforms that democrats want. now, there is like some sort

which is why everybody from colin allred to stacey abrams is supporting it.s is that there's a plan here. and i think at the end of the day, as you know, lawrence, when people have said they're opposed to something, so in joe manchin's case, he's opposed to the "for the people" act, opposed to the filibuster reform, but now he's showing a little openness. there's got to be an exit ramp. i think the exit ramp is what republicans are doing all over the country. they're not hiding what they're doing. they want to change who gets to decide who wins elections, give that power to state legislatures. i think they can say, we didn't want to do this but we were forced to do it because the republicans clearly have their aims on harming, if not ending, our democracy. so i think that the opening act of the play was really today. i'm excited to see what happens next week. >> david plouffe, you have that combination of experience that i could listen to all night, expertise in presidential campaigning, expertise in governing in the obama white house. thank you very much for

thank you very much, stacey abrams.right now. >>> tonight, on "all in." prosecution of capitol rioters continues in the republicans selling the big lie start cashing in, again. >>> tonight, the latest turn in the slow-motion insurrection. then, first, it was the media. then, the democrats. now, his own white house counsel? who wasn't donald trump spying on? with the reporter who broke the mcgahn news. >>> plus. >> everyone in that room, today, understood the shared appreciation, quite frankly, that america is back. >>> as the

joe biden, stacey abrams, they've cost georgia and georgia businesses an estimated $100 million just by losing the all-star game alone. luckily for joe, stacy, raphael, we have tape of them and by the way, we are happy to refresh the memories. take a look. >> redux of a failed system that's designed to both scare people out of voting and make it harder for those who are willing to push through and make it harder for them to vote. >> did give me a list of the provisions that you objected. >> it shortened the federal runoff. mack it restricts the time of voter to regroup and reform. some sort of identification for them to surrender to participate in absentee ballot process. that's one of the fallacies in republican talking points is deeply disturbing no one's objected to having to prove who you are to vote and it's been part of the nation's history since the inception of owning. >> sean: abrams now saying she's even backing democrat senator joe manchin and the voting compromise that it's actually reportedly would be similar to george's voting log reform that abrams and civic of joe bid

please welcome back to the show, stacey abrams. hello, stacey. how are you?"while justice sleeps. last time you were here, it was right before the runoffs in georgia, both the candidates you were supporting won and we talked about you sleeping and i'm just wondering if you managed to take a celebratory nap at the end of those run-off elections? >> i did indeed. but i woke up to voter suppression coming back and forth, so i may not do another nap for a while. >> seth: you are a busy person, and while we have greatly appreciate your efforts in trying to stop the tide of voter suppression laws that are, obviously, a huge problem right now. you also have time to write books. this is very exciting, because this is not your first novel, but it is your first novel with your actual name on it you have written under a pen name before. i'm wondering, obviously, you knew you were the author of those books. was it different writing a book knowing that everyone who picked it up would know it was written by the stacey abrams >> no, i think what was different was knowing th

the manchin/abrams two step is the subject.e so many liberals, stacy abrams has strong feelings about voter id laws. >> it is a redux of jim crow in a suit and tie. laura: interesting considering the election law proposal from joe manchin. >> i was surprised to hear you and douse division door senator manchin at legislation. >> it to step forward as we try to protect the freedom of those to vote. he makes common sense opportunities available for compromise. laura: why is this a curious development you may be asking? because the measure that was racist 5 minutes ago is much like the proposal she just gave a thumbs up to. nate cohen says the manchin plan resembles the georgia system in more fundamental ways including a nationwide voter id requirements so in just a few months, voter id went from jim crow to common sense. what a joke. when cnn pressed abrams on her hypocrisy her response was more gas lighting. >> you accept this compromise even if voter id was part of it? >> that is one of the fallacies of republican talking points

it became the stacey abrams substitute and not the joe march be substitute. >> what do you think?er approval hurt manchin's chances here? >> stacey abrams and joe biden, any democrat and any progressive could have come out in favor of joe manchin's proposals and would have said no, and the reality is they are going to say no before joe manchin brought out the proposals. who are we really compromising with. what progress do they want? we see hundreds of bills across the states being pushed and these are reasonable compromises and some of the compromises people are very upset about, ie, voter i.d. laws. there's real concerns there. republican mcconnell made it clear that he was not going to support any type of proposal from joe biden or democrats and he's just staying good to his word. >> and you heard progress i was trying to negotiate with reap conditions is a waste of time. seeing how republicans reacted to what joe manchin put forth here, does that only validate that argument? >> it might validate the argument, but i think it's -- it's an irrelevant argument or moot argument bec

i think when stacey abrams endorsed manchin's proposal, it became the stacey abrams substitute. >> there randomly throwing staey abrams' name into something that manchin has been working on for potentially months? >> we don't have enough time in this show to unpack everything in that statement. first of all, throwing out stacy abrams' name was clearly a bull horn to the republican party about the fact that black folks need a compromise. but put it into perspective. this compromise was dead on arrival. at the end of the day, it is not just voter i.d., but if we look at some of the things that they are -- that he recommended, it is really about what goes to the heart of the republican party which is states' rights. mitch mcconnell is clear that the feds did not need to be in the business of protecting voting rights. that should be left at the state level. and what they did, what he did in his compromise, that he would weaken the department of justice authority to be in the middle of these voting rights. we know that the biden administration just as they were doubling the lawyers in the vot

i actually think when stacey abrams immediately endorsed senator manchin it became the stacey abramshat a way to undermine an interesting idea. joe manchin faced a lot of criticism. he came up with a compromise republicans might support. not joe manchin's idea, it's stacy abrams and hence republicans can't support that. >> yeah, if we are looking for republicans to support an effort that would make it much harder for them to do what they're doing in statehouses all across this country, we're just being very naive about the political landscape. and to our democracy's detriment. yes, stacey abrams, if she didn't endorse it, it would be a sign they don't want bipartisan ship, if she did endorse it, it's a sign it's a bill republicans can't support. republicans are not willing to support efforts to strengthen the vote. this is clear. we can see this by their voting patterns, what they are doing in georgia where they are removing democrats and people of color from election boards, where they are making it easier to overturn election results. we shouldn't be surprised by this, but we certa

the question of the day for democrats, do you agree with stacey abrams? can you support joe manchin's compromise bill? >> lawrence, this is like christmas come early. this meets the threshold of what we talked about last time i was on your show. number one, it allows americans to register to vote. it allows them to vote early, by mail, and on election day. free from interference. and it makes sure their votes are counted and not diluted through partisan gerrymandering. the first hurdle we had to get over was to get enough democratic votes in the senate, for a voting rights bill. we have that now in this form from senator manchin. and that's the first hurdle. you talked about with the next one is, which is how we get around the filibuster. i think this is a very good development, for anyone that cares about voting rights and we all should. e that >> normally, senior here last night discussing the fact, that joe manchin was caught on tape and what he thought was a private discussions and he is willing to change the threshold in various ways, including an id

he's backed up now by stacey abrams.ing process and articulating why the importance of the vote is the foundation of the america that we live in. and his first reaction to what he proposes is from senator mitch mcconnell, not republican from kentucky, republican from the true state of cynicism. and it's a "no," no matter what you propose, no matter how far you go to come towards giving us something, the republican side, that we can live with, the answer is "no." and he's backed up by his entire caucus and nearly every member of the republican senate. so now joe manchin is going to have to stand there and he's going to have to say to himself, geez, i've been begging for bipartisanship on any of these votes. and when i turn around, there's no one behind me. there's no one behind me. they don't want bipartisanship. they just want to continue to say "no." so, joe manchin, you know, we like joe manchin, he's great with us when he comes on, but he's got some thinking to do. >> you know, mike, joe manchin, he's pretty good at t

after stacey abrams endorsed it. after joe manchin said about and good faith tailoring it down and working out negotiation. the abrams enforcement immediately led to republicans running away from it. in fact, this is how republican senator of missouri explained it. >> well we all i think every one of us looks for opportunities to work with senator manchin and we found these opportunities. i actually think when stacey abrams immediately endorsed senator manchin's proposal, it became the stacey abrams substitute, not the joe manchin substitute. >> oh well that's interesting. that's a very interesting thing to say. joe manchin was actually the one who crafted, it joe mention the guy who won the state the trump won the most conservative member of the democratic caucus but it's weird that you would attach it by name to stacey abrams did not show mention who actually rode it just because she went on tv and said fine this is okay. so again, second time in a month just like the january 6th commission right? democrats came to

abrams substitute, not the joe manchin substitute. >> but here's what i don't get. manchin's compromise very clearly mandates things like voter i.d., which is what republicans have been calling for from the beginning. the actual content is what republicans like. is this just stacey abrams, that's what they don't? yamiche? >> one, thank you for having me. i think it's one of those things where, when you hear from stacey abrams, you have republicans ready to run when they hear her because they know she is the one that delivered georgia, she is the one that called out voting rights and voter suppression. so it's really tough because the moment you get bipartisanship and the people who are focused on voting in the democratic party, chief among them stacey abrams, republicans are looking at their elections and looking at 2022 and saying, we can't tie onto anything that this woman, this very visible african-american woman, have really shaken up the map on when you look at blue and red states, we don't want to do anything that she's a part of. i think that in some ways und

i think when stacey abrams immediately endorsed senator manchin's proposal, it became the stacey abrams substitute, not the joe manchin substitute. >> that's interesting thing to say. joe manchin was the one who crafted it, joe manchin who won in the state that trump won, the most conservative member of the democratic caucus, but it's weird you would attach it by name to stacey abrams and not joe manchin because she said fine, this is okay. so again, second time in a month, just like the january 6th commission, democrats came to the table, they went through what appeared genuine motions of negotiation. joe manchin try today do the bipartisan thing. even before that, we knew what the republican answer would be. right? and if you're sitting at home saying, yes, chris, yes, you're right. this has been maddening to watch, i don't disagree because the core question of american politics right now, everything revolves around this, is this, will the democratic party, one of two viable coalitions in america, use the power entrusted to them by a majority of americans, a majority of americans who

stacey abrams said good things about the bill, calling it a critical step forward. it makes sense.'s negotiating with somebody who hadn't said what he wants. she said, this is a good start. here is what mitch mcconnell said after -- it's two seconds after she said it sounds like a framework we can start with. >> a revised version produced by one of the democrats yesterday, which has been endorsed by stacey abrams, in what is an extraordinarily dubious constitutionality would remove redistricting from state legislatures and hand it over to computers. equally unacceptable. totally inappropriate. all republicans i think will oppose that as well. >> let's be clear, it doesn't matter what stacey abrams would have said. if she said the bill -- the idea is terrible, he would have said, that's why i don't like it. there's nothing -- it's not about her. this is about him. is there any point to having bipartisan conversations about voting rights when you just heard mitch mcconnell say, you will get zero republican votes? >> i think that's just a challenge that joe manchin is happy to accept.

there is no fighter more fierce than stacey abrams for voting rights in this country right now.er she was, i think, unfairly denied the governship of georgia in 2018, after her opponent, secretary of state, encouraged hundreds of thousands of voters from the roles, purged hundreds of thousands of voters from the roles, she didn't gave up and got out there and continued to register people to vote, for voting rights, for everybody, for republicans and democrats and independents and help bring georgia into a true democracy, now threatened by the voter suppression laws signed by the man who beat her unfairly in 2018. so i think she more than anyone i know is helping to bring this issue to a head, and ensure that we pass the for the people act. she is encouraging all of us to call our u.s. senators, and apply that pressure that conforms some political will in that chamber, so that they actually get this done. i'm grateful that senator manchin is back to the table. i'm glad that he is talking to his colleagues. i'm hopeful that that produces a positive vote on tuesday and it ultimatel

got a pretty big endorsement from stacey abrams. senator mcconnell still vowing to block it. where do things stand there? >> reporter: the manchin compromise is the idea what it would take to get manchin to support any voting rights legislation like what they are probably going to vote on on tuesday. as i said, his proposal, which includes things like making election day a federal holiday, but provisions about voting i.d., was quickly embraced by stacey abrams who is the democrats' leading voice on these issues. just as quickly knocked down by republicans. take a listen. >> i am endorsing the fact that we now have a list of priorities and that joe manchin is at the table and he is part of the conversation. it's an important step forward as we try to protect the freedom to vote and protect access to the vote that all 50 democratic senators are part of the conversation. >> i think every one of us looks for opportunities to work with senator manchin. we found those opportunities. i actually think when stacey abrams immediately endorsed senator manchin's proposal, it became the s

he chose stacy abrams and chuck schumer over the views of most of his west virginia constituents. that tells you everything you need to know. we already have a preview of what happens when democrats dictate election practices with

you have republicans calling this the stacey abrams compromise. to manchin's point here, what progressive democrats are pushing back on him about bipartisanship, you have 14 states that have already passed bills, now laws, that are restricting access to voting. they're doing that without any democratic support. these are all republicans in these states pushing this forward. progressive democrats will push that back at manchin and say why are we waiting? why don't we just act? >> manchin comes from one of the reddest states, west virginia. you have a lot of democrats who say when are you going to use some of your leverage against republicans? >> the big story here is mcconnell. mcconnell stiffed him on the january 6th commission. then he tells all republicans to throw love bombs at manchin. manchin barely finishes his sentence about his compromise proposal and mcconnell swats it away. i think he keeps pushing manchin into the democratic fold. >> can he push him far enough? >> mcconnell is not listening to mcconnell's advice. he's flipped on it. i'l

>> i'm always confused whenever a stacey abrams is advocating for some radical voting proposal.well, she may have a destination this one time, but usually -- no, i-i usually have a destination. yeah, but most of the time, her destination is freedom. nope, just the coffee shop. announcer: no matter why you ride, progressive has you covered with protection starting at $79 a year. voiceover: 'cause she's a biker... please don't follow me in. ♪ sometimes you wanna go ♪ ♪ where everybody knows your name ♪ ♪♪ ♪ and they're always glad you came ♪ welcome back, america. it sure is good to see you. plaque psoriasis, the burning, itching. the pain. with tremfya®, adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis... ...can uncover clearer skin and improve symptoms at 16 weeks. serious allergic reactions may occur. tremfya® may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms or if you had a vaccine or plan to. tremfya®. emerge tremfyant™. janssen can help you explore cost support options.

stacey abrams one of the most active democrats on the issue of voting rights, says i'm willing to go with this. she says let's try to make this work. this is roy blunt. >> i actually think when stacey abrams immediately endorsed senator manchin's proposal it became the stacey abrams substitute, not the joe manchin substitute. >> so a white guy with gray hair is for it, we'll think about it, but once a black woman says it's okay, it's no good? that's -- >> yeah, i mean, the -- >> really just like takes the, you know, takes the cover off, like you see exactly what's inside, which is that there is no serious interest among republicans to deal with anything involving what you might call voting rights. and it was so interesting to hear mcconnell saying, this is a -- you know, a solution in search of a problem, which is literally what republicans across the country are doing by passing voter laws in search of fraud. they are searching for fraud where there is none. they are not interested in going down this road. and yes, actually stacey abrams saying let's talk about it, basically poisons

. >> he's -- >> let's listen to stacey abrams. >> absolutely. what senator manchin is putting forward is basic building blocks we need to ensure, and democracy is accessible no matter your geography. >> does this make progress? >> i think it's very significant that stacey abrams is coming out and saying this and you are hearing other democrats saying let's play ball with making some changes to the john lewis voting rights act and senate 1 bill that is much broader and deals with anti-corruption issues. i do think progressives are, you know, under the microscope here, and many are not okay with watering down on infrastructure and vettingoting rights. in the house, democrats have five votes to play with unless they get republicans onboard and it makes it a very tricky discussion. you are also hearing from democrats, yeah, joe manchin is for all these things, and you heard mitch mcconnell he's not particularly interested in allowing any of his members to go forward and vote for any voting rights bill, and it calls into question whether it is true t

i give stacey abrams credit, and this should be something that can get republican support.why we either need to do away with the filibuster or create a voting rights exception to the filibuster so that we can get this through. it doesn't have to be the whole hr-1 or the campaign finance reforms that i support. let's at least get what they agree on through the united states senate. >> the senate minority leader -- does it give you hope that they will -- >> they demonize women of color and target a woman of color and that's not going to work because in this case you'll have joe manchin -- i don't think there's a person in this country who doesn't think joe manchin's proposals are reasonable and his proposals are the same ones stacey abrams is talking about. most people will talk about that and most people see that as reasonable. >> bottom line. how much trouble does president biden face now in getting his domestic agenda passed, not only in the house but in the senate? >> i think we'll get something on infrastructure. it may not be $6 trillion, but we'll get something with st

some of the programs that we call enduring, , that's like the apache helicopter,, the abrams abrams,ou'll see that fielding slowing down because her try to give you the best army we can within the resources we have. >> thank you, sir. >> time has expired. ms. strickland is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you, chairman smith and ranking member rogers, thank you, secretary wormuth and general mcconville. i had the privilege of representing joint base -- [inaudible] and the more than 40,000 40,000 servicemembers who call the toll. it's the army's only worker protection platform west of the rockies in the continental u.s. and has an important role as the department continues to focus on the indo-pacific are i also recognize that it joint base lewis-mcchord is one of the fastest-growing -- [inaudible] that creech challenges with housing, and encroachment concerns. i'm committed to working with jbl him and all parties to address these issues and maintain j blm's readiness. secretary wormuth, on to discuss several issues important to my district. one of my priorities -- solicit take a

and stacey abrams on this show endorsed it as a compromise.sri vealing and telling, which is joe manchin gave republican as lot of what they wanted including voter i.d. which you raised concerns about. then mitch mcconnell stands up and says no way, no how, not anything. what does that tell you? >> that's the obstruction so many americans are frustrated with. we say we can't get things done because we need do things in a spirit of bipartisanship. and when you see compromise, you see a proposal put forward that even stacey abrams, if she can get behind that but mitch mcconnell can't, what is the obstruction really about? you know, 14 house republicans who voted against juneteenth, what is that about? why wouldn't you want to celebrate the america that actually represents freedom since you claim that, you know, black people and minorities were so divisive by focusing on slavery, you have a moment where we focus on freedom and people can't get behind it. so there's an agenda that unfortunately is bigger than democracy, and i don't think that's ac

got an endorsement from former georgia gubernatorial candidate and voting rights contributor stacy abrams. >> what senator manchin is putting forward are basic building blocks that we need to ensure that democracy is accessible no matter your geography and those provisions that he's setting forth are strong ones that will create a level playing field. >> but we begin this hour with the big news coming out of the supreme court earlier today. let's go to pete williams, good to have you on this. break this down on for us, the significance. >> it wasn't a ruling on the law itself, it was a rejection on the challenge, let me explain that. what the court said is these 18 states led by texas couldn't show that the law as it stands now harmed them in any way. remember what happened here. obamacare was originally passed and if you don't buy insurance you have to pay a penalty on your income tax. later a republican congress took away the penalty and the state sued well, it's just the mandate and that's unconstitutional and the court said without a penalty the mandate doesn't require you to do anyth

as stacy abrams said this was a building block and certainly is not comprehensive. we have the john lewis voting rights act and hr1 that has to be part of the discussion and part of the proposal moving forward. and so it's good to hear senator manchin talk about what his provision would be but we have to pass the now sb1 in the senate and the john lewis voting rights act and see how they work together. because we can't have one without the other. and, so listening to what stacy said, she said it was a building block and that's exactly what it is. it's a very reasonable building block but a small building block and we have to move towards full voter participation and end voter suppression and we must expand our voting rights and our democratic processes and we must stop this gerrymandering. >> all right, i have to ask you about the topic we originally booked you on which is the repeal of the aumf. this is something you have been working on and we now have to say decades since it's been in existence for decades. what does this mean and what doesn't it mean because ano

like georgia where stacey abrams has been working on this issue for years. tonight she joined our first guest beto o'rourke on instagram and made the point that the republican attack on voting rights is an attack on every voter in every state. >> we've got to amplify this so this is a national conversation. they are successful when they convince us it is parochial, only happening to some people. it's only happening in the south. it's only happening to black people. no. this is happening to all of us. we all have to be heard. we are the power. it is not hyperbole. this is not idealism. we have to create such a clamor that to do otherwise, to do anything other than save our democracy from these to use your word pernicious laws is to do a disservice to our country. >> you're so right to point out the effect and the outcome and who ultimately is targeted and who ultimately will pay the price in our democracy. in texas it's black voters, voters of color. it's young voters. it's the very old, those who live in big cities. and i think you also made a great point it

i want to bring in dan abrams now. d d dan, your books are always very good.e're going to talk about your book, which is one of the biggest conspiracy theories ever to spread around this country. we've got to talk about the conspiracies that are driving pretty much everything right now. so you heard trump's former national security adviser michael flynn talking about the coup in the u.s., whatever. why do you think people are latching onto these lies about the election and even beyond? >> well, and then lying about the lie, right? i mean after the fact, then saying, well, no, i didn't actually say that. and you know what you see is actually, speaking of lawyers, lawyerly arguments, right, to try to get your way out of a statement that you never should have made. i mean the statement was initially made by michael flynn at a sort of q&a session and he's asked the question about that, and he says, yeah, yeah, yeah. you know, that's something that we should consider here, et cetera. and then when, you know, when the backlash comes and people say, wait a sec, you'r

script on the left side against election law particularly in georgia with headline reading stacy abrams on voter id. >> listen to sean hannity. >> >> the most bizarre, the most brazen turning around, rafael warnock, trying to claim they were never against voter id and even claiming never made jeff bezos claims about voter id being part of jim crow 2.oh, voting reform laws in the case of abrams, has pretty sure it's memory or straight up lying. jillian: president biden and abrams's opposition to voting law, cost businesses an estimated $100 million after major league baseball moved the all-star game. >> up after the break, tommy time tuesday, after the break. but that pulled pork could taste even better on king's hawaiian slider buns. thanks, guy! (whispers) thank you. my work here is done. everything's better between king's hawaiian bread. oh! are you using liberty mutual's coverage customizer tool? my work here is done. so you only pay for what you need. sorry? limu, you're an animal! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ ♪♪ for deb, living with constipati

we are continuing to buy the abrams tank. that is a system we will continue to need, and we are making sure we have funding for it in our budget. we are also, however, looking at a new armored multipurpose vehicle. so we will be again, sort of keeping our existing capability to make sure that we have a bridge until we get to the future armored capabilities, and i'll let general mcconville add. >> is there funding for the future generation of abrams? >> can i -- >> please. >> people talk about legacy and modernization. i call it enduring. the abrams main battle tank is not going anywhere. we're continuing to improve that. we have the version three. we're fielding that now. there's a modernization program, and you'll see based on the resources available, we went to three-quarters of a brigade a year, and that is in my unfunded requirement that lays it it. some of the programs that we call enduring like the apache helicopter, the abrams you'll see that fielding slowing down because we're trying to give the best army you can with

stacey abrams says she is open to manchin's proposal, even the voter i.d. aspect. >> what senator manchin is putting forward are basic building blocks we need to ensure that democracy is accessible, no matter your geography. our point is that the restrictions on the forms of i.d. should meet the needs of the people. and what he is proposing makes sense. >> how big of a deal is that, what stacey abrams is saying, toluse? >> it is a big deal to have someone who has been at the forefront of the voting rights battle on the same page with joe manchin, who just a couple of weeks ago came out against the democrats lead voting rights bill. he's proposed something he sees as a compromise and the fact that he has a wide swath of democrats on board, they're pushing something to stop this onslaught of voting rights restrictions in the states. if they can't get republicans on board, it's a nice thing to have democratic unity, but you still need 60 votes and it's going to be hard to get beyond the 50. just to get 50 votes on something as contentious as voting rights is a

i think what stacey abrams is doing nationally by asking us all to call our u.s. senators, what we're trying to do in texas by engaging the state in the massive rally on sunday at the capitol, what folks are doing across the country, that's the kind of pressure that will help to move something because as you suggested at the outset, it's not enough to have a show or a symbolic vote. if we don't pass this, it's existential. you will lose the right to vote in states like texas where it is already harder to vote than in any other state in the union. they literally, michael, i know you know it, included in our elections bill that is included is a provision that will allow the state to overturn elections based simply on the allegation of fraud. that is no longer a democracy and the for the people act can stop that. >> what causes me to think in these terms, congressman, is that leaked audio. the intercept had it this week where senator manchin was heard on a call and he suggested an openness. let's listen together. >> i look at '73. 67 votes to 60 votes. i'm open to lo

raffensperger literally named stacey abrams in his statement. you heard her become the face of this new republican effort. what do you want to see from democrats to help stop these draconian efforts to keep us from the ballot box? >> you know, when you hear the statements, one, happy juneteenth. but when you hear the statements, what you know is that they have no real intention to pass anything that at best they want to be obstructionists and because of that we absolutely have to -- we have to appeal the filibuster. there's no way around it. it would be no version of that bill that the republicans would actually support. they haven't even presented anything that really would deal with the voter suppression. why? they're leading voter suppression. i think that what we have to do is killy filibuster and we have to pass hr 1 and hr 4. we need if anything, if we saw what happened in georgia yesterday, now in the midst of 100,000 voters getting ready to be dropped from the voter rolls. that's why we need the for the people act. we need the john lewis

how big of a deal is it that stacey abrams is behind manchin's changes here, including voter i.d.? >> i'd say it's significant. i'm curious what other democrats on capitol hill say, particularly progressives who are really concerned about voter i.d. requirements nationwide. i mean, the interesting thing about manchin's bill is, yes, it would -- this compromise. a much narrower bill than what democrats and president biden initially wanted to pass. it would expand early voting. but when it comes to voter i.d.s, and there are democrats who are concerned that is hindrance from some minorities who might not have them to show them at, you know, voter rolls, it seems to be giving republicans something that they want, but also doing a thing that the party in general really wants, and that is expanding early i.d., making sure other people can vote early. so i mean, look. this is a tough issue on capitol hill. lauren was exactly right when she said you need 60. and this is, you know, a far shot from that. at least so far. i think you might pick up a couple republicans with this proposal, but
