in cloafg, in 18 -- in closing, in 1805 vice president aaron burr suggested that the senate remove from its rules the previous question motion which allowed the chamber's simple majority to end debate on a bill. he viewed the rule as completely unnecessary and urged the senate to clean up its rule book because after everyone spoke and debated, they'd vote. a year later the senate removed the previous question motion, leaving a loophole that allowed the minority to take advantage and use what we now know is the filibuster. unfortunately, byrd could not foresee the obstructionism of decades to come. proslavery senators co-opted the filibuster to protect the interests of white southern enslavers. men such as january calhoun eabd the filibuster. 30 measures favored by the sitting president, simple majorities in the house and senate, half of which addressed civil rights, they all died thanks to the filibuster. the same procedural tool proved to be even more useful to southern senators who sought to block civil rights legislation, including anti-lynching bills. not until 1964 did the senate s

but the burr in my saddle over this data and the way it gets reporting is as follows.e, gallup says 46% identify as d or leaning d in comparison to 43% who say r or leaning r. but here's the problem. when they first say to 12,000 people, big sample size, how do you self-identify? guess what? 42% say i'm an independent. i'm not a republican or a democrat. and then there's a follow-up and they say, well, yeah, but. which way do you lean between the parties? then it gets whispered down the lane as this, oh, the ds have a slight edge over the rs. and i guess the beef that i have with it is that there's been a trend for the last decade where an increasing number, and i'm going to say of us, want to be regarded as independent. and the last point i'll make is this. there is some cache that some people want to be perceived as independent. but some of us really mean it. and we are greater in number than the republicans or the democrats if only someone would seize the power that rests in the middle of the country. >> first of all, i have to say with both you and kasie here it's

senators burr and blunt wrote to hhs secretary how they are becerra demanding answers.white house, jacqui heinrich, fox news. >> gillian: the new york city health department says it will consider race as a risk factor now in prioritizing treatment for covid. correspondent lauren green has the details tonight from new york city. good evening. >> good evening, gillian. the battle against covid has proven to be an uphill fight as new york's health department is prioritizing treatment for those at higher risk and will consider race a risk factor. if medical treatments and drugs become limited, the department of health s issued guidelines for who should step to the front of the line. along with the elderly and those with compromised immune systems, race will also be considered. nonwhite race or hispanic latino ethnicity should be considered a risk factor as long-standing systemic health and social inequities have contributed to an increased risk of severe illness and death from covid-19. so far there's no indication of the new guidance has increased secluded anyone from gett

i've been one since i was 6 and i'm going to fight for the soul of the party burr i'm not going to site and pretend like it certainly feels like a member of a republican family. there's a lot of people that are silent that i think agree with me. we just need people to speak out. silence is complicit and will allow the conspiracy to infect this party in a way way worse than we've seen seen now, which is frightening. >> to me the news is he was a member of the republicans party at age 6. i really wish here knew more about baseball as a child. but he's retiring after this term. can you believe that, 6 years old, a republican. he's retiring after this term. do you think there are going to be political repercussions for the complicity he's talking about? all those people just going along with trump's big lie? >> first of all, i waited until i was 10. i wanted to get behind nixon. look, he's a hero. he's a friend of mine. but he and liz cheney are heros for the courage they have. it's not like we're asking these guys to land on enzio beach. we're asking them to look at the oath they took and

i think the problem for those moderates that you mentioned, those so he burr ban representatives is thatle for them to not views that a referendum on the presidency. and right now, no, i don't think most of them would want him in their district given polling numbers and recent failures the senate had in getting his agenda across the line. >> bret: josh, you a&e agree? >> yeah, and i would also add that, you know, president biden had an opportunity to reset talk about the issue that most concern americans, economy, covid, rising crime, and he instead chose to double down on first year agenda by break up the social spending package and try to get it passed in the new year it was not a re-set it was a double down. that is his biggest problem. you are not going to have democrats in swing districts and states campaign with him if they are not talking about the issues that their constituents are caring most about. so, you know, the press conference was an opportunity to reset the messaging. and it doesn't seem like this white house still really gets the message that a lot of voters are sending

and the republicans themselves, led by senator burr, we're asking questions that were important. mitt romney, collins, tuberville, including senator moran. they are asking tough questions but. senator paul was doing, was not even getting anybody a chance to make any explanation. nothing productive, constructive. totally ad hominem. before the get-go, before you could get a word out of your mouth. that is entirely different than the aids activists from the 19 80s. it is fundamentally different. >> you shared the story, i had read reports about the individual who was arrested with weapons, saying that they are on there waiting towards you. senator paul gave an interview saying that is ridiculous, that has nothing to do with me. you cannot hold people accountable for what some violent disordered person is doing. it is irresponsible to pay me with that brush. have you experience threat like this before? or a security situation like this before in your public life, given that you've had a career as long as you have? >> no. absolutely not. in all of the situations that we were in, it w

donald trump is aaron burr, or lyndon ruch. has an opening here, saying, i am the custodian of american democracy. our institutions, the constitution. not being so worried about getting every little deal done, but assume mega leadership biden, that he is the defender of all that we hold so near and dear. i don't have to tell you, not all americans. many americans don't think see the attack on january six as a significant. what is the risk if americans become more desensitized what happened on that day. >> i think a whole generation of younger people don't remember wet american democracy is. we can look at these norman rockwell paintings of the four freedoms, or listen to speeches about it. i'm afraid we're of generation raised with iphones in the internet, where conspiracy theories abound, where misinformation is the stock in trade. this makes it a particularly difficult time to be joe biden. but he has to rise to the occasion. he potentially is going to be a very historic president. but i think he wanted to come into office as
