senator, maggie hassan tonight.e rules. to change the filibuster rules and allow a simple majority to pass voting rights protections. this is really important in political terms. senator maggie hassan, as a moderate senator. she has a very tough fight ahead of her new hampshire. and this represents a shift for senator maggie hassan up until now, she has supported voting rights but she has not supported a carve out from the filibuster for getting voting rights passed. now she says giving the urgency of this situation and the sort of dire straits that the democracy is in without the federal protection, she supports getting voting rights protections passed with a straight up or down a majority vote. and that really is the only way that it can happen. joining us now to talk about it arriving at this new position, a senator maggie hassan. senator it's a real pleasure to have you here. thank you for making time. >> rachel, thanks for having me on. >> i want to be clear, i think i was a really willie about this before the

joining us to talk about arriving at this new position is democratic senator maggie hassan from the great state thank you for making time. >> thanks for having me. >> so i want to be clear, and i think i was a little woolly about this the way that i described it before the commercial break a moment ago. in the past you have said that the filibuster should maybe changed. we should let people talk through the filibuster in order to apply a filibuster to something like voting rights. this speech that you gave tonight makes me think that you're calling for something new, that you are calling for essentially a carve-out from the filibuster so voting rights can pass with a simple majority vote. this is a shift for you, isn't it? >> yes, it is. the foundational nature of voting rights is at stake. part of what has influenced me is seeing this acceleration of measures at the state level where they're working to take impartially administered elections and turning them into a partisan exercise. and if that happens, if we can't rely on our votes being counted and tallied and our election officials c

senator mark kelly in arizona, senator raphael warnock in georgia, maggie hassan, new hampshire.they're a disaster. they're for open borders, they're for defunding the police. they're for crime, in other words, they're for crime. they're for taking away your second amendment. they want to talk away your police and then take away your right to protect yourself when you think of it, right? these people are a disaster. and they should all lose. sometimes i'm going a little outside of the box with some because we have candidates that are not strong, they're rinos and they're not strong. they're mitch mcconnell-type guys, and he's a disaster. so we need tougher people. we need people that are going to be able to win for our country. not only for me, by the way, win for our country. and we have some great candidates. maria: the other day hillary clinton said that if you win again, it is the edge of democracy. the end of democracy. will this be a rematch? >> oh, i have no idea. i hope so. i mean, i'd like that. look, the woman's crooked as can be. she cheated on the election. they spied

problem and we are here to solve the problem and i'm running for senate in new hampshire against maggie hassane's doing absolutely nothing, she's in analysis paralysis, just following locked arm with these bad policies and bad decisions and the mess we have now is just as much her mess as it is president biden's. >> the military's vaccine mandate has been challenged in court. one of the attorneys representing resistant troops tells the times it appears to be blatant religious discrimination, when the military is now conceded publicly and in court filings, they have approved multiple numerous medical and administrative exemptions but yet refuse to approve any religious accommodations. how is this impacting the morale of troops and what of religious exemptions in the military? >> it is impacting it significantly and i know i reviewed a number of religious exemptions from servicemembers that served under my command at various times in my career and these are devout military service members who have sound and valid religious beliefs and their religious beliefs are not being, the department of defe

. ♪ >>> last night on this program we talked with of new hampshire democratic representative maggie hassannced yesterday that she's going to now support voting rights by passing an exception to the rules. it's currently blocked by a republican filibuster. senator hassan announced for the first time she supports a carve out for the filibuster rule so they can pass with 50 votes, rather than having to find ten to vote with them. so we've been talking about this subject for a really, really long time, the prospect of senate democrats changing the rules to pass defensive voting rights, as republicans are tearing down voting rights in states all over the country. we've been reporting on this and talking about this so long that sometimes it feels like we're watching grass grow. but the gross has grown. we have catched as slowly one after another like maggie has went voting rights is an pore imimportant pair thit tu it even west virginia, conservative democrat joe manchin who has been against changing the filibuster rules, he's been taking meetings with president biden and other moderate democrat

maggie hassan is going to answer to that for the voters of the granite state next fall. >> tammy: thise country to deliberately choose someone who is so unsuited for such an important position is remarkable. and there is this commitment, you know, all it does with the soros approach the far left and wanting chaos it seems to me that they have believed they felt that this would aid them in either growing government or getting elected. do you think that's possible that this is actually because everything they do seems to be attached to the politics of it. that this is now back firing? are they seeing that? >> well, there is no doubt that soros prosecutors and the farther left puts ideology before people. and what happens is you get a wake of destruction and death. look at san francisco where you have one of the most notorious prosecutors chesa boudin. looting so well organized that the gangs are breaking into the home depot first to steal all the hammers and crowbars and then they do to the jewelry store and electronic stores to use all the hammers and crowbars. he dismisses did as low l

not said a peep about the border crisis, senator raphael warnock of course, in georgia, senator maggie hassant i think you've got to bring some integrity back to washington. first of all, if people just look what happened in virginia, now, just think about this for a moment, you know, when you have our government trying to go in and tell the parents how they're going to raise your kid, you can't do that. you cannot do that. we're going to lose the freedom that we have fought and die for, so many people have fought and died for those freedoms we have. and right now we're going to lose it if we don't put the right people in office. right now we can't have government control, government mandate, government this, government that. we can't have that. this is not the country that our people died for, and i think we've got to have people that stand up and say, no more, the buck stops here. maria: and do you think that outsiders are resonating? president trump was an outsider, you're an outsider. dr. oz is running for u.s. senate in pennsylvania, blake masters in arizona. why do you think people are

maggie hassan of new hampshire, catherine cortez masto of nevada, mark kelly of arizona, for example. has been taking the heat for a number of your moderate colleagues? >> senator cardin: i can tell you that everyone of my colleagues in the senate have strong views into what needs to be in build back better, and they express themselves on these views. at the end of the day, we think the american people want to see the united states senate act on these issues. they recognize we have challenges. they want to make sure that it's fully paid for and we want to make sure that it's fully paid for. we want to make sure that we deal with core issues, so whether we are on the ballot this cycle are not, it's in our political interest as well as the policies of this country to get this right. so to me, the worst outcome is inaction, getting nothing done. if got get something done. >> mike: several prominent republicans, including minority leader mitch mcconnell and senator john cornyn of texas have been openly recruiting >> senator cardin: switch parties. he says he hopes there is still room for

there are a lot of people really wanted you to challenge senator maggie hassan in new hampshire you were you can get as much done or more as governor number one, i don't know whether you really believe that or whether it's true, but immediately it raised the speculation that you were going to run for president and you keep side stepping that. i know are you on cnn and you side stepped it. dana bash actually said for the record you didn't answer sow said you don't know what the future brings. are you going to run if 2024 why aren't you going to run for senator if you could do it and from inthat sheet? >> yeah, so let's be really clear. governor gets 1,000 times more done than anyone in washington that's not debatable in for new hampshire. >> 83, for new hampshire, that's right. new hampshire leads with innovation we have to operationalize and design systems and create accountability, feedback systems. what does washington do? they pas a policy. they vote for funding. that's it. then they're done. they have no responsibility -- >> joe manchin as far as what's going on for the whole country
