conversations were about, however. i was just told what they were not about. and we re continuing we re continuing to report that. but i think the committee really understands how valuable a witness barr could be, particularly if he would testify publicly and talk about what was actually going on in donald trump s head. because we know that he quit in december. he quit before january 6th. but he can sort of talk about the president s state of mind vis-a-vis the election. certainly, and obviously his decision finally at that moment to quit in and of itself says a lot about what he thought, right? i mean that s in a sense sort of definitional. elie, so december 23rd as gloria points out, that s when barr quit. but he was attorney general when according to politico that draft executive order was written that gloria referred to about directing the pentagon to seize voting machines. here is what the chairman of the
been very spirited in activism, deserve a lot of credit pushing climate to the floor. after biden with build back better, the sunrise spokesperson said the idea of breaking it up into smaller bills is a false choice for democrats, everything in the bill is needed. that s wrong, i disagree, it s not a false choice, it s a very real choice. if everything is a priority, then nothing is a priority. that s definitional. the nature of prioritization is putting one thing over another, it s hard to do, it sucks, but it s what legislating often requires. right now, i think the priority has to be climate, which is not to say the other parts of the bill are unimportant. i would have voted for the original plans from bernie sanders, some $5 trillion. there s lots of amazing stuff in there. it s awful it will be left on the cutting room floor, but to take the metaphor of the film, don t look up. if there s a comet headed
republican roadblocks that have been put up across the country and the republican voting restrictions that we see across the country, or is it just going to be something that democrats can say, well, look, we passed this. president biden had a huge, as we all know, agenda coming into his presidency, coming into this administration, a various list of priorities that others outside, as we all know well, wanted him to focus on voting rights. because of what we saw with the 2020 election alone and the attack on voting laws and voting rights then that certainly wasn t going to stop then and we re seeing that now. the priorities have been all over the place and now activists are sounding the alarm, not just in georgia but in places like texas, north carolina, iowa, and the like that are all crucial for 2022 and beyond. yeah, i mean, phil, the why i can t be pounded into my head, the why. this was more popular. this was more urgent. this was more definitional for the democratic party base
chuck schumer like both? oh, i think certainly he would like both. and if you look at pennsylvania avenue, joe biden definitely wants both. he has said when he went into office that he was uniquely qualified to find deals between republicans and democrats. this would be a massive deal. this is the first time in 20 plus years that infrastructure has gotten as far as it has gotten. we always make the joke and donald trump and it was infrastructure week every week, but that was just recognition of how difficult it is to find compromise right now in weighing even though every district has crumbling roads and bridges. but there is a difference there is a fundamental language or definitional difference between what joe biden and some democrats are calling infrastructure and what republicans are calling infrastructure. frankly, it has been that way forever. there is always a time when, you know, in the 20s and 30s when
only did that seal the deal for her colleagues. she didn t say because i m a powerful woman. she said because i m representing a whole bunch of people who just won. that we instead of me was something he hadn t expected but the caucus appreciated. you don t get to pick your moment when your speaker. your speaker in the moment happens. is your mom prepared for the fact that whether she likes it or not, impeachment is going to be at the top of that legacy list, good, bad, or indifferent. it just is going to be that kind of look, it s that unique in our system. it s going to be that definitional. does she realize that, did and does it bother her? i think nancy pelosi s legacy as ongoing as all the women and people of color she s brought into politics and brought to power with gavels at the head of the table, the fight to pass the
