country that will suffer if democracy goes in peril. so what could the president be doing differently then? what other actions do you think he should be taking because obviously a president can only do so much? congress has to make the laws, and we just heard from joe manchin he s not willing to make changes right now to the process that would allow these laws to go into effect under a simple majority? well, one, we need the president to call out joe manchin and kyrstin sinema directly and demand that they protect the right to vote, demand that they protect the democracy that we all know, demand that they restore the senate. we re not simple police asking for there to be a blowup of the filibuster. we re simply asking for them to restore the integrity of the senate and restore the integrity of our democracy because we know that the filibuster itself hasn t even always been a part
emergency department with a broken bone or appendicitis or even chest pain you are going to be waiting hours and hours. not because we don t want to care for you but simply because there s no says. that s awful. sounds so demoralizing to be in your shoes and there s also a blood short and. in fact for the first time ever the red cross is declaring a blood supply crisis saying, quote, blood donations are needed now to avert the need to post pope potential life-saving treatments. so what are we talking about here? what s the impact of this blood shortage? so imagine that your loved one gets in a car crash and comes into my emergency department. what this means is that i may not have the blood available to give them to save their life. imagine that you have a loved one who needs cardiac surgery. that may have to be delayed if it s not already being delayed because of staffing shortages, it may have to be delayed simply because there are not the blood supplies available to keep them sa
the filibuster is what makes the senate hopefully work when it s supposed to, would. we need some good rules changes and we can do that together, but you change the rules with two-thirds of the people that are present so it s democrats and republicans changing the rules to make the place work better. getting rid of the filibuster does not make it work better. so you can hear there senator manchin saying he would be open to this if republicans joined him in this effort. that s not going to happen, but that does not mean that president biden is not going to try and use the powers of persuasion, the powers of the bully pulpit to make this case and build support for this, and there might have to be some type of a compromise for a lesser voter rights bill but it s why president biden is coming here to the seat of the late congressman john lewis, of course, an icon of the civil rights movement to make the case for the john lewis voting act but ana it s a big challenge for the white house
penalty for doing this is 12 months in prison. now certainly no one expects anything like that, but it is a very serious offense to have falsified a document. now, of course, it could be the case that it was an error. there could have been a wrong box ticked but it comes at a time when the australian government is smarting from the legal loss of the visa being reinstated to novak djokovic. we know that the immigration ministry and the minister is currently deciding whether or not he s going to personally intervene to strip djokovic of his visa once again. so certainly this is not going to be welcome news for the djokovic camp, and it s certainly something that the government and the australian border force are looking at more closely. one more twist in the saga. paula hancocks, thank you for that reporting. it is the opposite of a call for unity or an olive branch. what kevin mccarthy is vowing to do if republicans win control of
do wonder if the january 6th investigation has anything to do with his positioning here, given he could be called to testify and one of these members is on that january 6th committee, rep schiff. well, i don t know that that s a factor. clearly, you know, he has some bad blood. there s bad blood between kevin mccarthy and swalwell and schiff. i think that s part of it. there might be some local dynamics, but again, i think kevin mccarthy s disagreement with those two is really largely over policy disagreements, not over necessarily bad conduct. well, i appreciate your time, as always, congressman dent. good to see you. thank you, ana. and thank you for joining me. i ll be back tomorrow at 1:00 eastern. in the meantime, join me on twitter, @anacabrera. the news continues next with alisyn and victor. have a great one. better skin from your body wash? try olay body wash with skincare super ingredient
