>> well mehdi, it's absolutely a contributing factor. i don't know we can sigh say it's the number one reason. but the former president donald trump is the person singing this chorus. he is the person most dominantly insisting that as you said we can't believe our lying eyes. january 6th was peaceful. the protesters walked into doors the capitol police were warmly opening for them. there was kissing and hugging. these are the words that donald trump used in describing january 6th to me and to my co-author phil ip rucker. when we went to interview him in march he was living kind of an in an alternate reality in which his protesters were just doing sort of god's work and were doing it with open hearts and no violence. and, of course, we all know the violence that was involved. every single person who stormed the capitol, yasmin is correct it was a storming -- every person who trudged through there, a large number were shoving police to get there. that's an assault on a law enforcement officer. they were shoving police baccardax. many armed

joining me now, the host of the mehdi hasan show right here on msnbc. i am sure ow viewers are very excited to see you a little early, so take me back to the spring. you interviewed senate majority leader chuck schumerment he said the deadline to pass voting protections was probably by august or so. i don't know about you, mehdi, but time for me has become a flat circle. i am going to remind you we are now in the middle of september. we have this new slimmed down version of a voting rights bill. how do you think this is all going to play out with manchin and sinema? >> alicia, thanks for having me on. i think it's -- i am with "the new york times" editorial board. there is no time to waste. it may already be too late in some areas. when it comes to things like gerrymandering, it is already happening. republicans are already doing it since the new census results came out. we have already seen some of the biggest most important states in the union, texas, florida, georgia passing repressive new voter laws. so there is no time to waste. i don't understand

but for now, i hand it over to mehdi. >> thank you so much for that. have a great rest of your night. tonight on the show, the threat to american democracy. what are senate democrats doing to actually protect it? i'll ask senator padilla. plus, the huge and crucial election in california this tuesday. can democratic governor newsom survive and what happens if he doesn't? and on this 9/11 anniversary weekend, i'll provide a true accounting of the costs of the past 20 years of war. plus, you really need to hear how former president trump marked september the 11th. good evening. you'll be delighted to hear that tomorrow the united states senate is returning to session after a whole month off. summer vacation and all that. they're now tasked with addressing the multiple national crisis this nation faces. the coronavirus pandemic that's killed over 660,000 americans. a climate that is rapidly getting worse with massive fires burning out of control on the west coast and the hurricane ravaged southeast and east coast. regular viewers of the show will know tha

mehdi hasan needs no introduction, i'll give him one anyway.s host of "the mehdi hasan show" which immediately preceded this show. jonathan allen is senior political reporter for nbc news digital and the co-author of "lucky: how joe biden barely won the presidency." johnathan, the democrats have had a rough week. they're getting another piece of bad information just within the last hour or so because we've just learned the senate parliamentarian ruled against allowing the democrats to include a pathway to legal status for an estimated 8 million undocumented illegal immigrants in their massive social spending plan, definitely a setback for democrats. does this effectively stop them from passing anything on immigration? >> it's an enormous setback. i think for insiders on capitol hill, its surprising that the parliamentarian would rule that immigration policy changes aren't really within the framework of budget guidelines. the expedited process called reconciliation where you can do things with [ inaudible ]. it does seem to be a moment where tha

i'm mehdi hasan. have you ever had to guess how many jellybeans are in a jar? it's not easy, right? sometimes the question is part of a contest. sometimes it is a problem solving exercise to teach you how to use things like the height and diameter of the jar to help estimate a number. many times throughout american history the question of how many jellybeans are in a jar has been a racist tool of oppression. in 1890 mississippi lawmakers gathered in jackson to find a way around the 15th amendment which gave african-americans the right to vote. the white judge who presided put the matter bluntly. we came here to exclude the negro. nothing short will answer. the mississippi lawmakers adopted two measures to make voting all but impossible for black people in mississippi. one was a poll tax. you had to bring the equivalent of $58 in today's money to vote. the other was a literacy test. registrars could ask arbitrary questions to decide if prospective voters were smart enough to vote. white people always seemed to get the simple questions. black voters, well, black voters were asked such
