no. senate democrats really have very little recourse at this point as long as the filibuster remains in place and moderate democrats indicate they have no appetite or not only indicate, but double down, reinforce that they have no appetite for changing the senate rules. the john lewis voting act, the for the people act not moving. the administration is meeting with civil rights advocates today. they re going to continue to feel the pressure. i think how this ends honestly is them using this as a political issue, save for any changes they can foresee right now. it seems like they re going to try to use this to beat up republicans at the pole for 2022 and use it as that short of any
with the devil. let s get our troops out of there, stop pending billions of dollars, turn our focus to china, russia, or other challenges. it was telling on friday. the president s immediate answer was we ve been there for 20 years. that s ultimately what it s come down to. there isn t a big sense of regrets or second-guessing of this. they re very, very closely monitoring the political situation of this, to see if th there s any movement. that s something that will or will not be born out as we see the images taking over more and more territory, perhaps coming closer to kabul and perhaps these atrocities. of course, what will republicans do as those images come forward? how quickly will they put this on president biden. that s why you see him talking about to the extent this was a
faces as he goes into the midterms. the only difference between this and the obama administration is they re saying it out loud. he was behind closed doors. now they re very open about this. to your point, i think that s what s driving democrats absolutely nuts. republicans have been more vocal. listen to senator mcconnell. he said his priority was blocking 100% of president biden s agenda. at this point, are democrats listening? are democrats listening, and what are they doing about it? are they disillusioned? do they not turn out? we ll be right back. next with brand-new reporting on the january 6th brand gnu committee. one goal, avoiding a big circus. whether it s a year old or a few years old. we wanna buy your car. so go to carvana and enter your license plate answer a few questions.
decision. they don t want to just own this themselves. republican politics on the war have changed, too, over the last couple of years. that s one of the interesting factors here. you have the lindsey grahams, hawkish republicans who say this is a huge mistake. but even within the republican party as they look toward 2020 as well, you see how a republican candidate fits into the mix. it will be interesting to see what the president says. i was standing in kaitlan s spot 20 years ago when george w. bush spoech spoke. up next, one new york candidate lives up to his campaign promise, but it might not be that kind of promise you d expect. we ll explain in a minute. like mac. who can come to a stop with barely a bobble. with usaa safepilot, when you drive safe. .you can save up to 30% on your auto insurance. usaa. what you re made of, we re made for. get a quote today.
examination by the republicans joining the democrats about what i think was the most significant threat to our legislatures and to the civil war. is there any prospect? any fact-finding no drama let s look into what happened on january 6th. let s assign blame based on evidence to people who are responsible. let s have an open mind until the end. any prospect of that? i think we re already past that point. this is going to be a partisan affair just by makeup of the committee, just by the fact that the republicans rejected the bipartisan commission. so that train has left the station. but, you know, i think both sides really risk a lot politically by turning this into a circus. not just democrats. republicans as well. that s why we re learning that leader mccarthy will appoint republicans, and i think it behooves him politically to appoint some serious people. they ll probably be of the same mind as he is on this, but people that will at least
