he says he is an independent, he went against our democratic senator, kirsten sinema and sided with theals in washington. you can already hear the campaign ad, if he chooses to side with sinema then to pam's point the progress ich community, both the energy and the money coming to him are going to get cut off, so he's probably the one in the toughest position right now to center this vote on the record. >> tam, this is one-- this is a year when it's all about the election. >> yeah, yes, because guess what, it is 2022 now. we are officially in the mid term election year. and you know, you have senator kelly who has a very difficult choice. you have senate majority leader chuck schumer who doesn't want a primary either. so you have a lot of competing interests and you also have from democrats a legitimate concern that anything they don't get done this year and relatively early this year is going to get completely overtaken by election year politics and then if they lose the house or you know, certainly if they lose the house it seems likely given all of the retirements that have been anno

manchin and senator kirsten sinema. we talk to them and all indications are they still believe the senate as an institution is important and doesn't need to be turned into the house, doesn't need to be broken. [inaudible conversations] >> west virginia senator joe manchin spoke to talk to the press on capitol hill and answer questions about the social spending plan, climate change and voting rights. [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] >> you will be first today. >> happy new year, everybody. >> i am okay. >> merry christmas and happy new year. hope you had a great time and ready for a new year. right there. >> they will bring a vote on changes, do you support changing by the nuclear option? >> i have 2 members of the -- anytime you do a rules change the way everyone is involved and that is a rule that will usually stay that is what we should be pursuing but ongoing conversations as far as voting because democracy is making sure you can cast a vote if you are of legal age, it should because it accurately.

democrats who seem to be resistant to breaking the senate these days are senator manchin and senator kirsten sinema. we talk to them and all indications are they still believe the senate as an institution is important and doesn't need to be turned into the house, doesn't need to be broken. [inaudible conversations] >> west virginia senator joe manchin spoke to talk to the press on capitol hill and answer questions about the social spending plan, climate change and voting rights.

joe manchin of west virginia, and kirsten sinema oppose. meaning, senator schumer does not have the votes needed to change the rules. you can follow the action in the u.s. senate on our companion network, c-span2. >> a new mobile video app from c-span, c-span now. download today. >> british prime minister boris johnson faced calls to resign from the opposition labour party and even some in his own party. he attended parties with his staff while the country was under lockdown during the covid-19 pandemic. mr. johnson said he will not resign. >> before we like to have questions, the british sign languaging interpretation is able to watch on live tv. now comes to prime minister questions. i now call on wendy chamberlain. prime minister question one. >> i will be updating the house on this country's fantastic progress in tackling covid-19, including our booster program, enabling us to ease plan b measures and restore the ancient liberties of this country, mr. speaker. prime minister johnson: i know the whole house will be delighted that her maj

but democratic senators joe manchin and kirsten sinema keep saying this would be an unprecedented thing to do. no, that's absolutely not true. they keep saying they won't do it for voting rights. tonight in the senate, they're not even voting to go nuclear like they have on so many other issues. they're voting on the narrowest possible way to do this. a rule to require a talking filibuster too, hold the floor for a long time, if you want a filibuster voting rights specifically. and presumably senator manchin and sinema will vote against making that change too. but just in case, vice president, kamala harris is available to cast the 51st vote to pass voting rights legislation if it comes to that. all day long, senators have gone back and forth on voting rights and whether to change senate rules to have a 50-vote margin to protect them. senator cotton of arkansas, at one point, tried to say democrats were hypocrites because he read a letter from 2017 which several democratic senators said they supported keeping the filibuster as it is. one of the senators who signed the letter is democrat

moderates like joe manchin or kirsten sinema these what americans want not this wokeism and are we are: number one issue among americans crime is the second most concerning issue among americans across the country. with that in mind are you surprised president biden hasn't made a speech on their and spoken out more about it? >> i think it's a lose, lose for him to speak out about it he doesn't have a plan to address it a party in the white house beholden to radical groups like blm. he doesn't want to upset the woke activist base that he believes that he has. he is not going to speak out about crime and lawlessness. it's going to be up to the republicans and luckily we are going to do just that. >> carley: all right. with that "fox & friends" right now. ♪ >> several thousand u.s. forces put on high alert. >> they will be deployed to eastern europe in the event of a russian invasion. >> our goal in all of this is to both defend and to serve. >> nearly 2 million migrant encounters in the last fiscal year. >> 14 were listed in the terrorist screening data base. >> our southern border is bl

couple democratic senators stand up to them and say no, i just can't imagine that joe marchen and kirsten sinema took kindly to be being compared to jefferson davis, and bull connors. laura, you and i and half the country that oppose joe biden's election law we have another reason to object to him, because all three of those people are democrats. remember, the democratic party was the party of slavery, and segue segregation. pucen party was the party of equality for all. >> laura: that's a bunch of racist history that doesn't count. to give you a sense, senator, of how offbalance biden appeared today, this was just a kind of now we're getting used to these random outbursts, but watch. >> we've missed this time. the state ledge legislative bodies continue to change the law, not as who can vote, but who gets to count the vote. count the vote. count the vote. it's about election sub version. >> laura: i guess when you say it three times and really loudly, it becomes more convincing. >> well, he seemed very confused and irritable during his trip to the capitol today again probably because his agenda

right now we know that senators joe manchin and kirsten sinema oppose getting rid of the legislative filibuster. we think that there are others who are very nervous about that because they know they are going to be in the minority some day and the filibuster will come in handy to stop republican measures. so schumer has a very, very hard time getting this done. >> sandra: not to mention how far he has come on this issue since back in 2003 and 2005, play the tape. >> we are defending the constitution. we are saying there should be some balance. they want to make this country into a banana republic where if you don't get your way, you change the rules. it will be a doomsday for democracy. >> sandra: a doomsday for democracy. and here we are today. such a change of heart. >> yeah, it's kind of hard to, not to laugh about that. and by the way, that was back in 2005 and if you say gee, that was a long time ago, in 2017 in the trump administration 32, 32 democratic senators signed an open letter opposing any changes in the legislative filibuster. they had turned on a dime on this to try to

joe manchin and kirsten sinema. while there were optimistic reports on capitol hill, by mid-week, senator sinema has basically torpedoed that when she went on the floor and said this. >> these bills help treat the symptoms of the disease, but they do not fully address the disease itself. and while i continue to support these bills, i will not support separate actions that worsen the underlying disease of division infecting our country. eliminating the 60-vote threshold will simply guarantee we lose our critical tool that we need to safeguard our democracy from threats in the years to come. >> so think about what senator sinema just said there for a minute. she's basically refusing to accept a carveout of the filibuster to pass two voting rights bills because she supposedly worried about safeguarding our democracy. it just really begs the question. how dumb does she think we are? because sinema and manchin aren't willing to compromise on the fbi, we're essentially in a situation where republicans, i should emphasize,

you have feminist groups, emily's list threatening to pull support from kirsten sinema over this.t do democrats gain from having this fight today in your view. >> had the goal of congressional democrats is to drive senator joe manchin out of the party and into the welcoming arms of mitch mcconnell. maybe it's not desperation. but why they believe based on recently history that publicly threatening joe manchin will succeed in getting him to capitulate to democrats. he represents a state that donald trump won by almost 40 percentage points. beat joe biden by almost 40 percentage points. joe manchin is a unicorn democrat in west virginia. >> probably the last one ever. >> reporter: maybe. all of his political in sent if's push him not to the democratic party but the republican party. okay. you can have progressives threatening him. but he's privately told people that helps him back home. anyone who has two brain cells can see that. i don't actually understand. maybe it is just venting and frustration and there is no strategy. but if there is a strategy, i'd like someone to explain it

today, house speaker nancy pelosi contradicted what democratic senator kirsten sinema said last week. for the need for bipartisanship in voting rights legislation. >> we all want bipartisanship. we strive for it. we have a responsibility to do so. but when we cannot have it, we cannot confined our democracy to what might be bipartisan. so i ask our colleagues in the senate, respectfully, for what they think the filibuster means, to compare that to weigh the equities against our democracy. because nothing less visits stake than our democracy. >> our first guest tonight, congressman james e. clyburn first met martin luther king in 1960 morehouse college. the student nonviolent coordinating committee requested a meeting with dr. king and he agreed to meet with the students. the meeting lasted from 10 pm until 4 am the next morning. leading off our discussion tonight is democratic congressman james e. clyburn, he holds the lead is office of the house representatives. thank you very much for joining us once again, congressman. we really appreciate it. especially on this important night hon

designed to get a political reaction and try to generate political pressure on joe manchin and kirsten sinema who they need to break the rules and destroy the senate and dreadfully harm the country. >> martha: you can imagine what president biden thinks of legislators in delaware and new york as you point out that have more strict voting rules than the new rule in georgia. i want that to sink in to everybody for a moment here. you've been around politics a long time and announced you're going to run again for your senate seat in 2022 in south dakota. what do you think is at work here? this is joe biden when he was running for president. this is the joe biden that senator mcconnell referred to. watch this. >> i'm running as applaud democrat but i'm going to govern as an american president. i'm going to work as hard for those that don't support me as those that do. this is a moment to put country above party. >> martha: now he's comparing people to bull connor and doing it in a place where stacey wouldn't stand next to him on the podium, a lot of voting rights advocates couldn't be there. what

basically what kirsten sinema was saying yesterday was, don't even bother trying. this is what i will do. i will support voting rights, i will not support fiddling with the filibuster. we can't operate with this defeatist mentality. we have to make sure that we are continuously pressuring senator sinema. the reality is democracy is on the line. elections are at stake. we are seeing every single day that the seat of democracy is being pulled by our communities. and that is why i'm running for secretary of state. my primary opponent cents a -- to a supporter saying that if i was secretary of state i would have supported donald trump. so this lie is going through the state. we can't have lawmakers celebrating on the next few days without passing legislation on what happens. >> particularly in states that are legislating ways in which it is harder for people to vote, it's that a lot of people can register what's happening. if they don't feel like they're right to vote is going to be curtailed, or their ability to vote is not gonna be hindered, it seems abstract to them

there is a similar dynamic with kirsten sinema.f the reporting of this piece. >> there is also a real pushing from democrats. oprah also reporting over the weekend of trying to move him. we'll stay on that. hans nichols we appreciate you being here as always today. thank you all of you for getting up way too early with us on this monday morning. "morning joe" with the latest of the terrible fire in the bronx starts right now. >>> we will, we will rock you. sing it. sorry. just keep breathing. the main thing is not the think about the pain. pain is not part of your vocabulary. pain does not exist. >> do you think you can say the word pain a few more times. >> i am trying to keep your mind off of that not so great feeling. >> this morning we are remembering actor and comedian bob saget best known for his role on "full house," he was found dead in orlando hotel room just hours after performing in a set of his comedy tour. he was 65 years old. the sheriff's office says there were no sign of foul play. the cause of death is under invest

do we have to continue to have these speeches rather than action and failure by leaders like kirsten sinema vote to pass voting rights. this is critical. >> charles: gianno, i'll give you the last word. people should understand this child tax credit. folks making $400,000 have the money. a large chunk of people making like $25,000 didn't get anything because they don't file irs. so they got nothing, zero. this is what i mean about being used. letting your pain and suffering being used to push things that don't help you in the first place. gianno, last word to you. >> 48% of african americans now approve of joe biden. that number has significantly declined and will continue to decline because joe biden made commitments that he will not keep. and african americans need to realize this is not about joe biden. democrats do this years after year. they continue to use us and we cannot have that. >> charles: if you keep giving the vote away for nothing, you will keep getting nothing. i wish we could continue this. talk be about cruising for a bruising. the cruise lines can't catch a break when it

i would imagine they want to make sure the nominee is someone they can get past kirsten sinema and joe manchin. maybe they get a phone call in advance to make sure this is somebody that they'll give serious consideration to. but they'll have meetings with all the senators to address any concerns they might have and see if they can get their votes, including republicans who may be inclined to cross over and vote for him. after that happens, there will be a hearing in the senate. that will be musz-see tv. also a lot of opportunities for political grandstapding. i'm sure we're going to hear from senators cruz and holly, a chance to thump their chest and talk about issues that play well on the local news back home and eventually the senate will have a vote. and one hopes that, with the votes necessary, this can hap beenfore midterms and this person will be in place before the next term starts in october. >>> and joining me is ashley parker. while, as we said, there have been a lot of pressure, particularly last summer on justice breyer to consider retiring. at the same time joe biden was v

senator kirsten sinema has been censured by the arizona democrat party. for not changing the filibuster rule. >> it's a symbolic gesture but it's adding mounting pressure from those who helped her flip a senate seat in 2018. dana bash is with us now. we heard from bernie sanders. he told you what they did in that state was exactly right in response to her position on the fili filibuster. how much trouble is she in? >> at least not up for re-election until 2024 so she's got some time. the answer to your question is with her own party in arizona, she is in a lot of trouble and she knows that. she's well aware of that. she made that clear when she gave the speech she gave on the senate floor announcing she would not support changes in the filibuster rule. this is the kind of hardball tactic that the arizona democrats engaged in censuring here that we saw over the past year from republican parties across the states do against their republicans because they did things like vote for a trump impeachment. this is happening more and more. when it comes to sinema,

addressing election like jeanne shaheen of new hampshire, and could include people like kirstkir s kirsten sinemaey clear to do something on lek shuns this year is the way to do it, but it is what shook loose the infrastructure last year and forming one of the gangs in the senate, and the question is now are they willing to do that on a fundamental issue for the party. >> and can you get 10 republicans as it gets closer for the mid-term elections to the magic number of 10, and so that is why the mid-term election is off to a rough place for the president. and the president's numbers are down, and the covid numbers are up, and the calendar is a giant flurry. liz, you nerd, cough if you're in here! shh! i took mucinex dm for my phlegmy cough. what about rob's dry cough? works on that too, and lasts 12 hours. 12 hours?! who studies that long? mucinex dm relieves wet and dry coughs. people with moderate to severe psoriasis, are rethinking the choices they make like the splash they create the entrance they make, the surprises they initiate. otezla. it's a choice you can make. otezla is not a cream. it

. >> i'm curious of your thoughts on the state democratic party in arizona censuring kirsten sinema,? whether you think this is sending -- what message this sends to independents? i'm just curious your thoughts on this. >> chuck, as you know, i pride myself on somebody who tries to be bipartisan. i was a democratic governor when there was a 2-1 republican legislature. the only way i was to get things done. i disagreed with senator sinema on her position particularly on rules changes. i think we should have changed the rules when it comes to protecting the idea that we're going to protect the minority rights in the senate but not minority americans to vote doesn't make any sense to me. i am hesitant to say to our democratic party we ought to be following the republican lead in sanctions members who eight times out of ten, nine times out of ten clearly vote with other democrats. >> she votes with biden 99.7% of the time. it is astonishing. >> it is. i have to tell you, chuck, someone who occasionally broke with president obama and was accused with voting with him 98% of the time, proud

rights bill even though it looks like it's going to be very tough to pass because joe manchin and kirsten sinemanated, by the way. they're just trying to -- it looks like the press, howie, i watched more of the other channels in getting ready for this segment because that's what your show does, see how they're covering it. they are absolutely flabbergastedded that build back better is not done. rather than focusing on it and knows these democrats are to so-called blame -- i think credit -- for jamming through these socialististic programs, they're actually using this statement. the republican legislators have jammed through restrictive voting laws. no, they're not. look at every state -- howard: wish we had more time. >> -- have consequences. yeah, and they're not. it's not legal, it's not going to pass. howard: all right. thanks so much, brian. big tech cracking down on marjorie taylor green and other conservatives. that's next.he mucinex lasts 12 hours, so i'm good. now move! kim, no! mucinex lasts 3x longer for 12 hours. people everywhere living with type 2 diabetes are waking up to what's po

kirsten sinema is receiving consequences for not just her vote against, or her unwillingness to support week, but her vote against raising the minimum wage. and the covid-19 relief bill. her unwillingness frankly to be clear about where she stands on a number of bills. there are as a democratic party, they got hurt elected. if they are willing to censure her, so public two years before natural election. it must mean there's some things cooking in the water. >> it's outrageous to millions of democratic voters and activists and she just turned her back on them. it's outrageous. we have to leave her there. simone sanders and susan, thank you so much for your time tonight. appreciate it. coming up, why some virginia school districts are already suing over an executive order, from newly-inaugurated trump supporting governor glenn youngkin. that's when the 11th hour continues. youngkin youngkin that's wn hethe ave her cake and eat it too. nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts for all-day, all-night protection. can you imagine 24 hours without heartburn? continues. continues. entresto is the

going into this presidency that it would be moderates, fellow moderates like joe manchin and kirsten sinema damage and the progress you ever he defeated for the nomination elizabeth warren and bernie sanders would be such great allies. i don't grom that side of the party, terrific. he should have left bernie's name out of it. he has to get back to the sense that he's middle class joe and middle america joe. it's not so much left/right but it was up/down. music to my years. the white house should take the clip of what hilary said before me and make that the playbook for the next year, but it's that up-down kind of economic populism where biden is so strong and that's where he needs to be. >> we have a lot of conversations in washington about process and internal party friction because that's what we do. covid is the dominating issue in the country, and if you look at right tracks wrong track. the right track has barely budged in the year of the biden presidency and the wrong track has gone up six points. that's because of covid exhalves, whether it's about schools, economics or health. what

and kirsten sinema will never win elective office again.elective office again. that is not the kind of thing i would've expected to hear from as 11 of invisible. but he's not the only very practical grounded person in democratic party politics that seems to feel that way right now. over the weekend the arizona democratic party made an incredible, took an incredibly rare step to rebuke senator sinema they officially censored her by helping republicans -- ahead of the red zone a democratic party said in a statement that the ramifications for failing to pass federal legislation that protects our constituents right to vote are too large and far reaching. while we take no pleasure in this announcement the arizona democratic party has decided to formally censure senators sinema as a result of her failure to do whatever it takes to ensure the health of our democracy. we do not see this from democratic parties. we do not see this very often at all from ski democratic parties about an incumbent -- it is something we're used to suing at the public in

. >>> from one lawmaker to another now, arizona senator kirsten sinema and for her home may be feeling less homey these days because over the weekend, the arizona democratic party censured their senior senator after she voted with republicans against a senate rules change that would have created a path for her party's voting rights bills. beyond that wrist slapping from her own party, calls for a primary challenger, efforts to try and yank some of her funding have grown more and more in these past few weeks. new polling shows sinema's favorability among democrats tanking. joining me now, leanne caldwell who's in arizona for for a couple of days here. talk about the dialogue around senator sinema. what are you hearing? where does she still have support and where is it eroding? >> that's right. there's a lot of people talking about sinema here, especially in the democratic base. they're furious with her. they're furious over the vote last week to not allow voting righting to go through because she wouldn't change the senate rules and the reason is, you have to remember that all of this i

. >> kirsten sinema politically embarrassed the leader of her own party. >> sandra: howie joins us nowhe other nets are covering this, and it's not just the tv networks, but you are noticing this, obviously, in some of the left wing public -- left wing publications as well. as far as u.s.a. today calling it the horrible, no good, very bad week for joe biden, this has been a tough one. >> sandra, for the pundits to say joe biden had a bad week i think is giving him a pass. he has been on a spectacular losing streak since the afghanistan debacle, and more than novack in australia. and they cannot pretend the president is doing well right now. >> sandra: talking about the frustration the american people are feeling, especially with the inflation problem. you mention afghanistan in the string of failures that has come since then, since that debacle. and david axlerod saying it did not help for him to compare those that don't support his voting legislation to segregationists, so there's a series of missteps, and biden's epic failure, highlighting the two months since signing the 2 trillion

they lack the support of senators kirsten sinema and joe manchin. >> as far as the filibuster goes, i'vegs change, and one of the things that has changed in this body, we don't debate anymore. i'm for anything that will get people to the floor so we can debate the issues that are so important to the future of this country. >> republicans will filibuster the bill tonight. mitch mcconnell. >> he's trying to short circuit a debate he cannot win. this is the power grab the body was built to stop. >> after tonight's vote expect a chasm to widen, the defendant will launch a full-throated attack on manchin and sinema. >> sandra: total pro, made it through it without an i.f.b. back to you. >> john: a little technical difficulties. prosecutors in manhattan charging the man of randomly shoving a woman to her death at a times square subway station with second-degree murder. crime surges in the city. eric adams is facing criticism for not doing enough to face violent crime after running as the law and order candidates. joe borelli, the mayor was criticized of a the horrific shoving death of michelle

mcconnell is standing up for millions of americans and senate colleagues, including joe manchin and kirsten sinema, who hold the same view on not changing the filibuster, the senate rules, eliminating the filibuster, the same perspective and outlook on it that joe biden held two years ago when he was running for president of the united states. john mentioned the line about joe biden propaganda answer his own country, that is true. in georgia, revised the false jim crow 2.0 line, back a couple months, the line was used by stacey abrams to criticize the same election laws. all-star game in atlanta got pulled and the people of atlanta and georgia suffered because they missed out on millions of dollars of badly needed revenue after the pandemic shut down their city. his agenda is stalled, failing, underwater on nearly every issue, inflation is through the roof and they are pivoting to the false narrative of the voting laws in georgia, far more available in terms of people voting early than his home state of delaware. and joe biden said make a choice, side of history with george wallace or martin luthe

kirsten sinema supports these two voting rights bill.inority leader mitch mcconnell accused mr biden of �*pure demagogery�* as he attempts to force through his legislation. yesterday he invoked the bloody disunion of the civil war — the civil war — to demonise americans who disagree with him. he compared — listen to this — a bipartisan majority of senators to literal traitors. how profoundly, profoundly unpresidential. i wonder if it's my politics. if you don't have the votes you don't have the votes and he was elected to unite the country and some would say he is now pushing an agenda he can't deliver and in doing so he's creating greater attention. he is -aushin a creating greater attention. he is pushing a radical— creating greater attention. he is pushing a radical edge _ creating greater attention. he is pushing a radical edge in - creating greater attention. he is pushing a radical edge in the - creating greaterattention. he: 3 pushing a radical edge in the cell organising the opposition pretty well and that's why he can't push thi

joe manchin and kirsten sinema should get 49 phone calls every day. 48 from seniors, just want to remindt to be advocates. we got to be advocates. we are believing we are going to get this done if we faint upon the. that's been on my spirit this whole week. if we do not war why i in well doing, for in due season we shall reap. if we don't faint, john lewis and those in selma and dr dr. king didn't faint. it took them three times to get across, faint not. i'm here in arizona with two democratic senators or one-and-a-half that was told they couldn't do that but they did the work. folks like mass liberation did the work. if we faint not, we will get these bills pass. that's what our history tells us when we work together, when we do the work, when we believe, we win. >> yeah. like angela reminded many ethis week, bloody sunday was a march not a parade. we need march and action. >> that's right. >> in the legislative way. i'm curious, naacp out on the front lines of voting rights. what itself the plan to surpass the rampant voter suppression that's ravaging the country right now? >> three th

the president arriving at that position and of senator schumer's reporting that joe manchin and kirsten sinemad in the senate for like 40 years and he saw the filibuster degrade from something that was having rarely used, involved holding the floor, endless speeches, a lot of debate, to what we have now, which is i call it the dial in filibuster. you don't even have to make a speech. you don't have to come to the floor. call mitch mcconnell and say, i filibuster. then you have to have 60 votes. that's not the way the rule has worked in the past and joe manchin, got him on my mind. joe biden remembers that and he remembers, he can testify to how what we're experiencing now is not the historic filibuster. now, as far as manchin and sinema, i met with both of them in the last 24 hours. we've had a lot of talks over the past months on it. they have legitimate concerns. they have the same concerns that i had about changing the filibuster because once you do it, then it's really probably gone forever and the majority and majorities can change, can do whatever they want. so today's annoying obstructi

i mean, it's not going to get done because senator kirsten sinema, and joe manchin have said they areer democratic senator who is isolated with covid, so shy three votes that they need. so, this is not going to happen. >> sandra: because after sinema spoke, manchin was asked in the halls of congress what he thought about her speech, it was a great speech, we know that. but start out by saying i hope we can get this done, went on to say if we miss the first time we come back a second time. after he asked, john, is this mic on. >> john: yeah, there's no question i think when you look at senator sinema's position and look at the constituency she has t answer to as well as joe manchin, they are not prepared to move. she gave an lengthy and eloquent speech on the senate floor that manchin applauded, all for voting rights, and republicans think it's a legislative overreach, but she came out and said as much as she supports the idea of moving to voting legislation, she's not prepared to nuke the filibuster to do it. and some democratic senators and certainly democratic politician, politicos

using his bully pulpit to pressure democrats joe manchin and kirsten sinema to support changes to the one thing that stands in the way of bills passing. president biden jumping into the fray in the battle over voting rights is where we start. nick is here. also joining us, msnbc political analyst, claire mccaskill and michael steel. today, i had the privilege of welcoming simone sanders. she'll be hosting a show on msnbc and on peacock. welcome to the family. first, i want to hear all about this move. i made a similar transition and it's weird in the earliest days, first, tell me about the speech. it feels like many, many weeks and months in the making. >> many, many weeks and months in the making. it's no coincidence i would argue that the president and vice president are traveling to atlanta to the late congressman jon lewis' district to give this speech today or this pair of speeches and i have been watching coverage on the network today, reading local news and much has been made about the activists and organizations who are skipping out on the president and vice president's remark

to this meeting with senators saying we have got to push for voting writes, but kirsten sinema makes voting rights but i won't do that. people don't respect him enough to at least listen to what he has to say about policies that are necessary to both support him and keep the agenda moving in the white house. >> the opposition is just the right and the left. even within the democratic caucus manchin and sinema are polarized in their views of the filibuster that it makes governing with their tiny majority nearly impossible. the white house acknowledged that they can't make anybody vote with the president. i want to come back to the substance of what the supreme court did today. the data speaks for itself that this works, it saves lives. i think some liberal justices made the points that right now there are 1 million case as day. the need for this is greater than it was first announced by president biden. united's ceo said 4% of the work force tested positive for covid but no deaths among the vaccinated. american airlines, workers tested covid, but vaccinated had neither died nor been h

set aside the idea of a carve out for the filibuster after what you heard from joe manchin and kirsten sinemand what you want to put before them in this meeting you're going to have tonight that you think might pass muster a big enough rule change to get these bills passed, but a small enough one they would still go for it. >> well, the basic notion is that to get past the 60 votes, you have to do one of several things. you either have to secure the 60 votes, which is not going to happen. or you have to be a break in the debate. or you have to exhaust the two speech rules in the senate. but because there's always an amendment pending, we cannot as in times of old, actually get to a debate on final passage and so one innovation, the talking filibuster, which i proposed and every democratic senator voted in support of it who is here today in 2011 for the vote. says hey, we will set aside a time for final passage, debate. the 60 votes still applies. so the point that senator manchin and sinema are making that still say 60 votes still applies. it then says that we do as a senate has always done,

enact a filibuster carve out for voting rights now seems unlikely as well with joe manchin and kirsten sinema coming out with that tactic. yesterday republican senator mit romney announced bipartisan efforts underway a bill to clarify the vice president's role in certifying election results as strictly ceremonial. >> a group of 12 senators, republicans and democrats working on the electoral count will continue to work together. sadly this bill that the president has been pushing i never got a call on that from the white house. there was no negotiation bringing republicans and democrats together to try to come up with something that'll meet bipartisan interest is sure, we can work together at almost every issue where there is common ground. >> rev, this lines up with what joe manchin is saying. you talked to manchin about voting rights about filibuster and trying to move forward. manchin says he's talking on this electoral count act as well as a guarantee for every american and every legal american to be able to vote but right now of course just not much progress being made anywhere on voting

the last poll i saw of kirsten sinema she is doing better in arizona than mark kelly.elect more democrats, stop relying on me, i represent west virginia. you know how this story is going to end. so i agree. they need to stop talking about taking those two out and talking about electing two or three more so they never need joe manchin or kirstin sinema's vote again. >> i guess it feels good to progressives to say, run joe manchin out of his seat. i don't think they would like who came after joe manchin if there were an open election in the state of west virginia. they might loose in the senate. the strategy is to elect more democrats, more senators, put them in state houses across the country and in the states you are worried up. joe, to button up, there are plenty of bobcats, they're plentiful and running free across the state of west virginia. >> that's good to news. >>> three houston police officers are in stable conditions after they were shot yesterday. officers were responding to a domestic disturbance call around 3:00 when the incident began. after shooting at of

kirsten gillibrand of new york joining us. your colleagues joe manchin and kyrsten sinema have repeatedly made clear they oppose getting rid of the filibuster and they're not alone. mark kelly of arizona, chris coons of delaware have reservations. isn't the president pushing for this change when it's not realistic to happen, setting him up for another defeat as with the build back better act? >> things change. having this debate is really important. our democracy is the most important thing that we need to fight for. we are at an existential risk right now. we have legislatures around the country that are trying to undermine people's right to vote. having this speech by president biden in georgia is fitting. the georgia legislature and the governor in georgia are doing everything they can to abrogate people's right to vote. their basic civil rights and civil liberties. and so i hope that we get these votes this week. senator schumer puts both those bills that you mentioned on the senate floor and that we call these votes. it's important to show that republicans do not want to protect people's rights to vote. and i think we sh

spokeswoman for senator sinema says in part during three terms in the u.s. house, now in the senate, kirsten promised arizonan should would be an independent voice for the state not political parties. always honest where she stands. you recall that 2018 campaign when she ran for the u.s. senate, she ran as this sort of arizona independent. this western independent. very much in the mold there of john mccain, but the hope among arizona democrats was that years of activist work would ultimately lead to a democratic senator in the u.s. senate ultimately voting on major issues. whether it be the minimum wage. increasing the min much wage. whether be it federal voting rights legislation. what you've seen here over the last two years, since senator sinema entered the u.s. senate, there has been frustration at the local level in arizona. especially among party activists who have said for decades it was a long haul to get to this point and they hoped ultimately she would execute on her ability to be in the u.s. senate and vote on their behalf. i want to let you read part of the statement from the ch
