supremacist fascist movement, and at its core right now. not all republicans but that the core of the party. so what s gonna make them change? losing more elections, i think. that s the only chance. molly, what do you make of donald trump s fancy dining with the quaint s? i mean, i agree that his previous ambassador saying that is who trump is. that s very much to trump s. and that is who he ran on being. so you don t see him say i disavow this person. i disavow all cause denies. and even kanye who wasn t the sort of headliner of that event as recently been dropped by all his committees for antisemitic rhetoric. i mean when people show you who they are, believe them. i would say trump has made this sort of very craven flag to tell you that values conservative views he s not antisemitic towards, but you, know you hang out with antisemites who are antisemitic. so i do think this is ultimately a bad look for him. but you know republicans are gonna have to keep losing elections, righ
legislation on this. i think that s why from it so important that our community understands that while they are voting and while the things that they are doing or the right things, is just that legislation isn t getting through and so it s always disappointing for me to see how our community says, i went and voted. they re telling us that they did the right thing. and while that continues to be true, for me, i have to continue to hope that this is the moment that it s gonna happen and there will be others who realize that they have in their hands the power to vote in favor of our futures. molly, that s it, republicans have the power in their hands to do something and it s also happens to be one of the very few issues like daca dreamers, one of the few issues in which the majority of people agree. the majority of people see why it s so important. so important to protect dreamers. so why do you think congress
negative campaigning, but i think that s what we re able to do three out our race and i m excited to see this upcoming election, what people come up with to give people hope and give people reasons to turn out. it s so easy to look at young voters and say, you re lazy, you don t turn out. but we need to be continually providing young voters with a reason to turn up. and make promises but also deliver on those promises. and i think that will very much help with not just turnout for young people but turnout up and down the ballot. congratulations to you, we will all be looking at you to see everything that you do and how you pave the road for future generations. thank you so much, illinois state representative elect nabeela syed. joining me now is my saturday night how no, molly jong-fast astrid, immigration advocate, and dean obeidallah, host of the dean obeidallah show on sirius xm and and msnbc daily columnist. i want to get your reaction after hearing someone like representative el
country was founded. and it s not how things should be in this country. you ve been in so many of these prints with people with a lot of power. you ve been in rooms with lawmakers, with democrats, and republicans that are trying to figure something out that are debating this issue. what are can you tell us about those meetings? what happens in those rooms? the biggest change that i ve seen is the difference in those conversations. when i started it was 2009 and i was freshly in college and i had the dreams that soon i would be at the 2010 world cup. that was my excitement, that in 2010 it was going to happen. and as these years have gone by, the conversations have gotten more and more divided. they ve gotten people often forget that the dream act which was originally introduced in 2001 was a bipartisan bill by senator dick durbin and senator orin hedge. these bills have been used, as molly said, as wedge issues. and for me, it s my life. it s not just a bill that i hope passes, i
senate could impact his vision, his agenda, and perhaps those dreams coming true? one is obviously confirming the judges and potentially justices if something was to happen supreme court. also confirming joe biden s nominations in his administration that need confirmation. that s important. but i think the hope would be you get a few republicans in the house because the majority might be four, five seats. and for five in a swing districts and need to vote for democrats to keep the seats maybe you can have some compromise and legislation. without having the democrats having the senate. that s out of the realm of possibility. so look, i m hopeful. i m hopeful this really helps president biden and makes a great case for 2024 when he runs for reelection. give us the house back, let s keep the senate. we can really pass legislation that s meaningful to change peoples lives for the better. molly, it may come down to independent voters. there s a new poll by the arp that shows just how ti
