in one of joe manchin's first acts as a united states senator, he actually voted to eliminate what we saw today. on january 27, 2011, senator joe manchin voted in favor of resolution which he cosponsored, which he proudly then said in a press release would have, quote, eliminated the filibuster on motions to proceed to a debate on substance of a bill. the vote was 44 in favor, and 51 opposed. joe manchin was one of the minority of senators ten years ago who was this favor of completely eliminating the 60-vote threshold on motions to proceed to debate which is what the vote was about today. the vote wasn't about to bill today. it was just about, can we debate the bill? when joe manchin cast that vote ten years ago against the current senate rule, he explained his vote in a press release saying, west virginians deserve a government that works for them, and they are understandably frustrated with the way things get done or don't in washington. and at the end of his first year in the united states senate on december 13, 2011, senator joe manchin sponsored another bill to make another chan

now by all rights we shouldn't have to debate voting rights on the floor of the united states senate. they should be sacrosanct but the events of the last few months compel us to have this debate now why is there such urgency because what's happening in public legislature after legislature the last several months. voting rights, the most fundamental right of the democracy men and women have died for in wartime in peacetime the right by which other are secured are under assault from one end of the country to the other. in the wake of the 2020 elections, donald trump told a lie, a big lie that the election was stolen from him by voter fraud. there is no evidence for this. his own administration concluded the 2020 election was one of the safest in history his lawyer was laughed out of courts by republican judges that he appointed but he kept saying it anyway. he lied. over and over again donald trump lied over and over and over again. poisoning our democracy between republican state legislatures who immediately launch the most sweeping voter suppression effort in 80 years. just to know h

like many here, i had the privilege of serving with john for three decades in the united states senatee we're representing different political parties, i can say without hesitation john was a man of conscience, character, and honor, with a deep commitment to god and country. enlisted in the navy, in the united states navy at age 17 to fight in world war ii. a few years later, enlisted in the marine corps to fight in korea. eventually named secretary of the navy by president nixon, then elected to the united states senate where he became a towering and respected voice on foreign policy, national security, and defense, the second longest serving senator from virginia, the longest serving republican. a member of the greatest generation, and as that, he understood that democracy is more than a form of government. democracy is a way of being. he understood it begins and grows in an open heart, and with a willingness to work across the aisle and come together in common cause, and that empathy, empathy is the fuel of democracy. the willingness to see each other as opponents, not as enemies. a

what we saw on the united states senate today was a show performed for two senators. majority leader chuck schumer, wrote the voting rights bill before the -- and the senate just to show democratic senators joe manchin and kirsten cinema that the bipartisanship is hopeless in the united states senate on voting rights and so much more. joe manchin got an agreement with checked schumer, but democrats would adopt the compromised version of the bill and still, joe manchin could not get a single republican to go along with that. so republicans won today by preventing the bill from reaching the necessary 60 vote threshold to proceed. senator manchin released this statement today saying quote, unfortunately, my republican colleagues refused to allow debated the legislation despite the reasonable changes made to focus the bill on the core issues facing our democracy. as of said before, the right to vote is as fundamental to our american democracy and protecting the rights should not be about party politics. i remain committed to finding a bipartisan pathway forward because th

that's the only question on the table for the united states senate tomorrow and we're about to find out how my republican colleagues will answer that question. >> now, madam president, on another matter as i noted before senate democrats entered june with an agenda that was designed to fail. the democratic leader planned votes on a host of the left's most rod radical priorities. none of them was supposed to here clear the high bar, the agenda was meant to show somehow, somehow, that the state itself was failing. for months, our colleagues built anticipation for the failure. they even started previewing the latest argument they made when it happened senatorll

legacy of what people worked for and fought for in the 1960s is once again on trial in the united states senate right now. >> president johnson, so what happens next? is this the first of a series of meetings with senator manchin? >> absolutely. this is, for us, an aggressive start to make sure we advance a bill that truly affect the needs and interest for our democracy. it goes beyond just the john lewis act because the harm that the state legislative bodies across the country, particularly in georgia, have already committed the last two months need to be addressed. we also need to make sure that the state of bodies are not taking advantage of this moment to gerrymander districts that we won't be able to recognize the house of representatives and we have to ensure that moving forward there is the protections necessary so local jurisdictions and state jurisdictions are not positioned to suppress and subvert democracy. african-americans fought too hard and too long. marc morial would never have been there if the filibuster had remained in place to block the voting rights act. so many of us would

but at the end of the day, it's not biden who's going to vote in the senate it's the united states senators who have to decide that this issue, protecting our democracy, from this assault is important enough to waive a custom, not a law, a custom in the united states senate. >> what if they don't? >> well, my fear is that if they don't then our elections in 2022 and beyond that, in 2024 are not going to look like what they used to look like in 2018, and 2014, and before that, i mean, consider this, what's going on in arizona, how crazy that is with these folks convening this audit to look for the -- i don't know, the third or fourth or fifth time, wanting to count votes, convincing themselves, under some decollusion that there was voter fraud, even though nobody can produce it. it's crazy. so if we don't do anything, we're essentially turning over the future of our democracy to these people who are delusional. >> before you go, i do want to ask you, because you serve on the intel committee, about michael flynn, former president trump's first national security adviser, he appeared on sunday

i apologize [indiscernible] there is a lot [indiscernible] my friends would kid me in the united states senate [indiscernible] because i quoted irish poets. and i quoted irish poets because i am irish. there is a stanza from my phone [indiscernible] -- a stanza from a poem [indiscernible] and it is not because of any one person. [indiscernible] technology has made a big shift in the development of the world and it has caused a great deal of anxiety between our countries and uncertainty between our colleagues. [indiscernible] has been replaced by new technology and they no longer [indiscernible] and that comes along at the same time that uncertainty is generated politically at the same time, and it also motivates people who are more like charlatans to take advantage. you see it in europe, you see it in the united states and we have seen ads around the world. betsy -- we have seen it around the world. so it seems to be the best answer we have to deal with these changes is to have a circumstance where our countries will grow and grow together and grow on the value set that united us in the first

legacy, what people worked for and fought for, in the 1960s, is once again, on trial in the united states senate>> president johnson, what happens next? is this the first of a series of meetings with senator manchin? >> absolutely. this is, for us, an aggressive start to make sure that we advance a bill that truly reflects the needs and interests for our democracy. it goes beyond just the john lewis act. because the harm that the state legislative body have already committed in the last two months needs to be addressed. we also need to make sure that state legislative bodies are not taking advantage of this redistricting moments to gerrymandering -- and we have to ensure that moving forward there is the protections necessary, we so they are not position to suppress, subvert democracy. african americans fought too hard and too long, he would've never been there, and the filibuster had remained in place to fight the voting act right. we would not be in the positions that we were in if america did not stand up when it did to ensure that our constitution was protected. what mitch mcconnell and the s

statehood, to add toward more democratic votes to the united states senate. invisible, saying making democracy -- has to be d.c. statehood. all of this, the premises of all these articles is that democrats think that they won't be able to control the united states senate in the long term, they need to add to more democratic seats to the senate so it's really important. if they think it's really important i, has the constitution given the authority to override what is actually written down and that text with the law? can you do that? >> let me kid on the record an important point. it is often thought that we on this side are opposed to giving the district reticence to vote. nothing can be further from the truth. the idea is however, that you must do it in the right way. you've got to do it in the constitutional way. and so, that means that you're going to have to address, among other things, the 23rd amendment problem. because there were still be people within this district who still have the right to vote. you can't remove that from them by near statute. it's

i can remember standing in front of his desk as a united states senator and he told me in his illustrious senate career the things he was embarrassed by the most. he talked about deregulation of airlines, which took the planes out of his state of west virginia. he talked about a nominee for the eisenhower cabinet who was rejected because he was jewish. he told me he was wrong in the way he voted on those measures. but he said, mr. durbin, more than anything i was wrong on civil rights. madam president, this past saturday was not only juneteenth. it was the 57's anniversary of the senate's passage of the six rights act of 1964. it had been filibustered for two months before it passed. opposition to the bill wasn't divided along party lines. but i'll be honest. my party, the democratic party, particularly southern members of the party, were leading the fight against t one of the most conservative democrats stood on the floor with an 800-page speech filled with all kinds of reasoning about why civil rights was unnecessary and an infringement on states' rights, an echo of the speech we just h

my friends who would kid me in the united states senate, when i served there, because i'm irish. a beauty has been born. everything has changed in the last 10, 12 years. it's not because of any one person. i think we are in the midst of a new beauty being born. acknowledge the shift in belgium and the world. and it's causing great anxiety in the midst of our countries. and uncertainty among many of our colleagues. they are going to be replaced by new technology? they are going to no longer have a job. if that comes along at the same time there is also uncertainty generated politically like that. it also generates some folks who are less than, how can i say it, some more like charlatans trying to take advantage. we have seen the united states, we have seen it in europe, we have seen it around the world. it seems to me that the best answer to deal with this -- these changes is that to have circumstance where they grow together and grow still based on the values set that united us in the first place. and i think we do share the same basic values. my dad transitioned where in the cit

state that trump won by nearly 40 points last november. he's forwarded with the majority of senate republicans on 54% of the votes he's cast as united statesnce 2011, democrats currently serving in the senate has split with the party more often but he's the reason why democrats have the narrowest set of majorities, right? replacing mueller publican and it's a republican senate run by mitch mcconnell. he's also a pain in the but if you're a progressive who cares about protecting american democracy against its enemies. this weekend, you may have seen that senator manchin came out in opposition to the senate for the people act which are basically create a modern voting infrastructure, some sort of minimum standard to expand early voting and less than i.d. requirements and administration and gerrymandering. manchin also reiterated his desire to -- to restore majority rule. now, lots of people are very angry with senator manchin which i get. the question is what are we doing now? what can be done? as i see it there's a few options. first figure out who is in that political leverage over the senators to move him towards changing the stands. the

i am hopeful that we have a working majority in the united states senate to take up a meaningful policete. >> i know that democratic colleague tester on with chuck todd this afternoon. and talked about a bipartisan group being very close on an infrastructure deal despite the white house and senator capito suspending those talks, if you will. gop senator romney said there is a quote tentative understanding. ...even in early stages. i'm for people 45 plus at average risk for colon cancer, not high risk. false positive and negative results may occur. ask your provider if cologuard is right for you. the epson ecotank. no more buying cartridges. look at all this ink it comes with. big ink tanks. lots of ink. no more cartridges. incredible amount of ink. the epson ecotank. just fill and chill. when you're entertaining, you want to put out the best snacks that taste great, and come straight from the earth. and last time i checked, pretzels don't grow on trees. just saying. planters. a nut above. riders, the lone wolves of the great highway. just saying. all they need is a bike and a full tank

ain't going to be an infrastructure bill unless we have the reconciliation bill passed by the united states senate because we have the shared values. it's really important that what they have biden harris administration is doing issued give people hope that it's transformative and that we are talking about doing the infrastructure in a way that is about the future that protects our planet and is resilient and green and sustainable and doing it in a way that opens the door to many more people to participate in the prosperity of our country. it's about women being part of the future of our country and for that we need childcare. we need child tax credit. we need family and medical leave. we need workforce training and development so that many more people can participate and we need our justice formula and their so that we are undoing the harm done to our neighborhoods and people of color and previously not underrepresented but underserved communities. this is not something new and different. we all share that value starting with the president of the united states. the house and senate democrats are

united states. she was in the chair of the senate as her role as president of the united states.id, i hate to interrupt you twice. once for the actual vote and once for the vice president. but go ahead and make your point. >> i am not insulted by that. she does take precedent. but, look, i don't think -- it is very important for chuck schumer who by the way is up in 202 and always looking over his shoulder and for all the leaders of the party to fight as hard as they can and be seen as fighting as hard as they can to pass this legislation, to fight back against what has been going on in some of these republican legislatures. but the -- the -- you know, the chances of success are very, very limited. and that has to be said. so i really think that as much as everything, they want to be seen as fieghting and they want to use it as rocket fuel for organizing efforts around 2022. that's what really began today. >> standby. phil mattingly is our white house correspondent. you heard the vice president make her point. this fight is by no means over. chuck schumer said the same thing. but

. >> welcome back to "sunday night in america" joe manchin is the united states senator from west virginia's been in office for about a decade. he's become one of the more influential people in all of politics, seemingly, with control over a president's agenda. the u.s. senate is split 50/50 where any senator could be powerful, but the democrats have a view president harris as a tie breaker so they don't need deflections from republicans to pass bills. they just need to keep all the democrats singing from the same hymnal and lately that's been a problem. specifically, joe manchin has been a problem and that has made many in the media and some on the left very animated. sometimes i wonder if the media and some on the left know what state joe manchin represents. it's west virginia. the same west virginia that voted for donald trump twice with almost 70% of the vote. the same west virginia that is voted for the republican candidate for president and every presidential race this century. democrats have won in west virginia before. michael duchakas actually beat george h. w. bush in west virgin

here in the united states right now there's the equality act that has sitting in the united states senate waiting for a vote. no vote has been scheduled. i know it's highly usual or never that secretary of state gets involved in domestic politics. can you talk about why for foreign consumption, it's important that the equality act be passed by congress? >> look, i really can't-- you're right i can't get into domestic policies, i won't. maybe it's some might say is luxuries of the job or necessarily for the job. and what i say is this, i know as i'm travelling around the world and thankfully we're now able to start to do that, that the effectiveness, the impact of our foreign policy is directly tied to our strength at home and the power of our example as president biden likes to say is as important as the example of our power. so, when we're seen as making progress at home and achieving our ideals, something we'll never achieve, forming a perfect union. but as we're trying to do that, that gives us so much greater standing around the world to advance rights for all day in, day out. i know

we take it to the united states senate, past the george floyd justice in policing act immediately. immediately. immediately.
