when they can walk miles and miles and still could not cast a vote. so, if anything the conversation around how the voting system has been rigged in georgia, was to motivate people to come out and actually make sure that they voted, and the votes got counted. and that s what s going on i think in georgia. i hope that s the case across the country, people will see these efforts to stifle their voices and will go to the polls and record numbers. i hope that will be the result, but again, there s no guarantees we need to stay vigilant to protect our democracy. and again, back to joe biden and the existential threat, that s exactly what he s talking about. that our democracy is being threatened from within, and frankly, unfortunately that s how empires crumble, from within.
theories and election deniers, and they re singing out of it entirely different choir book than the rest of us. that s one of the big problems, how could you communicate with people that do don t share the same impression of what is the truth. they think it s all a hoax as far as they re concerned. we ve just gone through a really tough time in this country, everything from the pandemic, to these mass shootings, and so people are not inclined frankly, to pay a lot of attention to these more fundamental issues, but having our votes counted, has got to be issue one, which is the main issue by which the committee as a shorthand for the book. it s issue one, so that s what we re talking about, the diverse and most important issue is letting people vote, getting people to the polls, and making sure those votes get counted. i mean it s the cornerstone of our democracy, without it we don t have a functioning
of our elections systems. what one group is doing to stop this assault on our democracy. and, how can the january 6th committee make its best case to american people in the public hearings? and sounding the alarm. one democratic senators morning as the midterms approach. i m ayman mohyeldin. let s get started. let s get started. let s get started. let s get started. let s get started. all right, some republicans aren t playing by the same senate rules that democrats are. we establish that already, you know when it comes to judicial nominations, not when it comes to gun control legislation, and definitely not when it comes to our elections. this week the new york times reported that at least 357 sitting republican legislators and closely contested battleground states have used the power of their office to discredit or try to overturn
we have a moment in time to show that when we have the control of the house of representatives, when we have 50/50 senate and a democrat in the white house we could take swift action to protect the life of our children. that can really determine who is going to come out to the ballot in november and make sure that the right candidates, the democrats that are on the right side of these issues win. danielle, what do you make of this forecast? should democrats be that concerned? i think that the entire country needs to be that concerned. this is not any other kind of election. i hesitate when we consider what pollsters are saying so far ahead of an election, but the reality is is that we re not getting another bite of the apple. democrats are not getting another opportunity if republicans are able to take back both chambers. our democracy is done. i don t say that in a way that is hyperbolic. i say it to say pay attention to all of the moves that they are making at the state and
the republican party has changed from gawking terms there really can t be any more dramatic or stark illustrations of that, ayman, then what we really call the democracy darkest day in our recent history. a full out assault on the capitol, on american democracy, on the peaceful transfer of power. now, that doesn t mean the president biden will be out there every day, commenting upon the hearings, but in terms of making that case that he is looking to make going into the midterms, one can hardly imagine more powerful test, or back up for that argument. danielle, the republicans and certainly the echo chamber fox news, has been trying to move on from january six, we hear that s the official position for mike pence, it s time to move on, colin visa rice also said it at one point. danielle, the republicans and certainly the echo chamber fox news, has been trying to move on from january six, we hear that s the official position for mike pence, it s
