you made certain representations they would say to republicans and broke your trust, she said, susan collins said it is a very unfortunate move that destroys the many bipartisan efforts that are under way. in other words, whether it is on election reform, or same sex marriage, that the well has been poisoned. >> here is the thing, i think susan collins is, you know, my very dear friend. we worked almost on everything together. but the thing of it, i never told anybody that i wasn't going to do something. if i had a chance to fix the energy policy of the united states of america, and i didn' do it, shame on me. if i had the chance to reduce the amount of inflation of people in west virginia and across the country are enduring right now, shame on me. i never thought they would come to an agreement and basically recognizing with this administration working, with president biden's administration and working with chuck schumer and all of them who were going a different direction and were very upset with me for so long that they would ever sit down, but i guess this thing is has become truly horri

it broke with susan collins, a pro-choice republican senator, in 2008. they still haven't endorsed lisa murkowski, a pro-choice republican senator who is running for re-election and who, by the way, didn't vote for brett kavanaugh's confirmation. is there some responsibility that the pro-choice activist groups have? 'cause the criticism of planned parenthood is that they became a wing of a political party rather than a sincere issue-advocacy organization. >> i think absolutely. there's no question. i don't think they ever endorsed me, either, as a pro-choice republican. no, there's no question. this happens with all of those groups. environmental groups, the same thing happens. and, unfortunately, planned parenthood allowed themselves to be defined as pro-abortion rather than emphasizing the family-planning part of the -- of their name and of their mission. they let that go by the side. they decided to adopt this. they were going to really fight for pro-abortion issues. and i get it, but that was wrong. and i think they are responsible for part of this f

you made that comment or not state legislators, you have susan collins thing we don't need federal votingrights legislation because elections were went well in may. that's not an answer to the rest of the country and uawhat we actually need. part of my reasoning for encouraging people that the 2022 elections was so t important is whatever your issue, whether it's abortion-rights, voting rights, climate, gun control. healthcare. mcconnell's at the root of all of it. he's at the root of all of it. i blame him for everything kind of with the exception of inflation. i don't really blame him about that. >> i come from a slightly different perspective. i don't have that much of our perspective on family, maybe that's an advantage because i seethings for what they are . and i've seen some change over this last few years especially on the democratic side. so for me, the republican, there's a lot of heat and the right to society but i'm also seeing a lot on the democratic side.ngthe heat levels. when we are looking at a solution for this. for this impasse, where do you go from here? you could say

you know, just to give context to this, susan collins only both with mitch mcconnell 62% of the time,dsey graham, 70% of the time, so you can see that manchin is pretty much a chuck schumer, biden democrat. he likes to portray himself as a moderate, his voting record shows just the opposite. >> he's done a great job at a false promotion. i really want to go after this bill and the way that people just need to understand, the international energy agency, which is a big international group of folks who have a lot of power, and he put at the supply chain report for vehicles, is what the world will need, the world, 50 more lithium mines, 60 more nickel mines, 60 more cobalt mines, so they come from, the cobalt comes from congo. her busy videos of the kids in filthy water for eight hours, 12 hours a day, no education, pennies on the dollar. some lithium comes from australia and chile, after poison the water. indonesia, the nickel. there are five stages from getting from the raw material to the finished product. so even if you love the climate issue itself, the president is lying to you. th

cnn's political commentator susan collins scott jennings.what we're hearing from brin it's stunning that what could have happened at that field office let alone what happened to this person who attempted to attack the field office, it's a pretty brazen attack on the fbi of all places. and i wonder, are you worried we are going to see more violence because of the rhetoric that we see being aimed at doj, aimed at law enforcement, just since the mar-a-lago search alone? >> well, yeah. i mean, i am. i mean, i think we have learned the last several years there are people out there who are unhinged and who have, obviously, emotional problems and who get invested in conspiracy theories and take matters into their own hands. this person, obviously -- if it's the same person. i know we are still confirming everything. if this dheks out, that's, obviously, what this person did and so, yeah, i am. i think political violence is a problem in this country and it's going to continue to be a problem and this is the latest manifestation of it. >> i mean, i c

so, we have some reporting, my colleague found out that senator susan collins is working with democratslooking at is making sure they clarify the language around potential religious liberty. and it kind of goes into, you know, we saw that case at the supreme where there was a baker who refused to bake a cake for a gay couple. things like that ensuring that, you know, individuals have the right to exercise their religious liberties, that could potentially be a new takeoff and also if they do change that senate bill, they'll likely have to go back to the house. all of this shows that this bill doesn't look like it's going to pass by the august recess. and as you know, jonathan, anything delayed after the recess into the fall has a far weaker chance of passing because there's so much little time now before the midterms. >> endangered to be sure. i got a story today how the white house feels like they got renewed momentum on the heels of that drone strike that killed the kabul leader. and with the gas pits going down, and the reconciliation bill signed into law. if this reconciliation bill
