Main event is now over. So that does it for us from hamburg tonight. Rachel will be back on monday, and i will see you again next friday live from iraq where we will take you to the front lines for the final push to drive isis out of the city of mosul. Now its time for the last good evening, richard. Thank you for all that reporting. But you go, i do want to ask you given everything, do you think putin got what he wanted out of President Trump today . I think he absolutely got what he wanted. I think he came in with this intention to have a long meeting. I think he wanted to overwhelm the president , presenting him lots of options, lots of things they could discuss, put some meat on the table for them to start digging right into it and hoping this will lead to more discussions, more followon, and a tighter relationship. Interesting. Richard engel, thank you very much. Absolutely. I am ari melber live in new
york for lawrence odonnell. Now for months, people have been watching to see if
months. i m tired of being quiet! folks, it will restore the strength of the voting rights act to 65. the one president johnson signed after jon lewis was beaten, nearly killed, on bloody sunday. only to have the supreme court over the past decade. restoring the voting rights act would mean that justice department can stop discriminatory laws before they go into effect. before they go into effect. the vice president and i have supported voting rights bills since day one of this administration, but each and every time, senate republicans have blocked the way. republicans oppose even debating the issue. hear me? i ve been around the senate a long time. i was vice president for eight
this is one of these conspiracy theories being popularized in the right wing networks including fox news. people like tucker carlson talking about this in regards to january 6th. but the committee going, that s not true. thank you so much for jumping in front of the camera for that breaking news. we ll have more tomorrow, but for now, nicolle wallace and deadline white house begin right now. it s 4:00 in new york. in just a few minutes, president biden is expected to give a speech many of his supporters have been waiting for since republicans first made their cynical and anti-democratic plans clear. namely that they would use the lie about election fraud in the 2020 election to roll bacak success to the polls in nearly every state in the union. president biden moments from now will deliver a major speech on voting rights, an issue that is now a legacy defining priority for him and his administration
i think the important part of what the president and vice president did today is, yes, they re fiery, passionate, but they called folks to the carpet and they applied pressure and that is what is needed going into this weekend where it is expected that a vote is going to happen. i ve texted with senators, i ve asked, what is going on? are we going to get a vote? they have told me a vote is coming and people, united states senators, need to go on the record. the question really is, in my opinion, nicole, what happens after monday? what happens after the question has been called, people are on the record, and let s just say the vote doesn t pass. what are activists and advocates and organizations looking for from the president and vice president? what kind of pressure will be applied there? not just on democrats but on republicans, because this isn t an issue. our democracy isn t a partisan issue. it s an american issue. it s just crazy to me that this has become a partisan game. well,
because he thinks that the committee is trying to use the issue of criminal referrals the way that it is aggressively talked about the criminal code and talked about, you know, different crimes that the justice department should prosecute as a concerning development to him and it s something that, you know a lot of politics, accusations all around. what this will set up is the question of whether the committee will subpoena pence. if pence says, formally, no, i m not going to voluntarily cooperate, will the committee subpoena him and what would that subpoena fight look like? and how much could that draw out the investigation? mike schmidt, how much of this is sort of pence on one shoulder, you know, the guy that had to call dan quayle to say, do i overthrow the will of the american people or don t i, former vice president, and how much of this is, you know, i finally found something to hide behind. liz cheney and bennie thompson
