Lets play hardball. Good evening. Im Chris Matthews up in new york. Let me start with todays democratic party. If you want to be president you better be young because you have some waiting to do. If Hillary Clinton runs in 2016 and runs again in 2020, that means the job is not open for you until 2024. It gets worse. If theres a president Hillary Clinton, that means 16 years of democrats in the white house, the longest run since fdr and truman. If anyone now in politics can wait that long. So the big question looming as democratic governors meet in washington right now, what other career goal makes sense it theres no real shot at the presidency . Or is there a lingering hope that secretary clinton wont make the run . Or if she does, that she could be beaten . Is that what has Governor Cuomo and governor omalley and Vice President biden dreaming of sitting behind that president ial desk . The outside thought of what might be . Joan walsh is editoratlarge or salon and david corn is Washin
maybe this is a two-step process. maybe the first part of the process is to educate people about the attack on voting rights. maybe the second part of the process is to educate people about how to respond to it. but if you listen to texas democrats that just left the state, time is running out. they have an august 6th deadline to go back to texas to face arrest. what they are saying is if we don t get congressional legislation to stop voter suppression, they are going to enact a new bill. so they are saying we have three weeks to act and it doesn t feel like congress or the president has that same sense of urgency. judith, the white house will admit that they may not have won the senate, control of the senate, those two georgia seats if this georgia law had been in place. i mean they see, to eli and ari s point, they seem clear-eyed about the threat. if you could just pick up on ari s point that today s speech was really the first time that
colleagues, his former colleagues in the senate to end the filibuster. we can t get the john lewis voting rights advancement act passed or the for the people act passed with the congress that we have right now without ending the filibuster. you know, eli stokels, this is where this debate is. i want to read you yamiche s immediate reaction and ask you for yours and then we ll turn to what judith raises which is how. she tweeted that was one of president biden s most passionate speeches of his presidency, possibly of his entire career. he s saying very clearly this is a crisis as important as to what led to the civil war. he had peddlers of lies are threatening the very foundation of our country. i see it that way too. and i also, having spent time in the republican party, i assure you they see the opposite is the
rights to be as big of a priority as infrastructure. at the end of the day, you re talking about the most fundamental right in a democracy. that touches a lot more people than infrastructure. so i think it s going to be very difficult for democrats to run in 2022, to run in 2024 if they don t actually pass this legislation to protect the fundamental right to vote that their voters turned out to protect in 2020. judith, i want to put this out there because the president did, i think, a very good job at this today. at a time when the right is waging a culture war about teaching our country s racial history with this hand, with this hand they are advocating brazenly in the light of day voter suppression legislation, voter nullification legislation in a targeted manner to disenfranchise voters of color. i wonder what you make of sort of the starting line. everyone is talking about doing more to educate their voters. it s to educate minority voters.
