i think that there are certainly sommer its to some of sinema s points, but not wanting to give mitch mcconnell a filibuster to congress. there are merits to clyburn s points about the same points with the budget. but that argument hasn t convinced manchin or sinema. how can we put pressure on republicans by breaking these bills down and putting up the popular parts and making them vote for them. i would like more creative thinking than just hoping that yelling at senator sinema more is going to change the result. simone, you ve been on the inside here. tell me about that, because on one hand there are people who say, this is existential. this is actually an attack on democracy as we know it. on the other hand, there are people who say, maybe we can get some percentage of what s in these two senate bills through on an individual basis and, you
done for the budget. we have asked respectfully. that you allow the same kind of reconciliation unconstitutional rights, that you allow on budgetary issues. that is all. tim, that argument has not worked on any republicans in the senate. it has not worked on kyrsten sinema and joe manchin. at least so far. what do you think of it? sure. first, simone, welcome to the other side, the water is warm i ve made the transition. it is not too about over here. to give your takes. look, far be it for me to push back on representative clyburn. i think on the merits of his argument, he is correct. i think that there are some practical concerns with it. number one, to how you just lined in there ally. there are no republicans who are interested in giving an inch on this. they do not want to give the democrats and he winds. i think that there potentially could be republicans that would

presidential primary of putting the focus black women on the court. with us tonight, melina tolliver, to progressive candidates and causes and john mccain, he s also among the cohost of the circus on showtime. thank you both for joining me. when eta, let me start with, you what do you make of joe biden s policies his historic promise to appoint a black woman and now the rather offensive response from some of the right that he s pandering by making that promise and that the appointment would be token is to kidnap based on merit? let s remember where the president was when he made this commitment. i would believe he was in february, late february, right before the south carolina primary, and he needed to make an appeal. this was the appeal he went with, knowing that it would energize black and brown voters across south carolina are the same voters who revitalized his campaign under the guidance of representative clyburn. so i think that him making good on this promise is something
the way for a woman out of south carolina and whether or not she gets in a poll position. dana: she is supported by representative clyburn and first justice who didn t go to the ivy league. bill: your school was? dana: university of colorado pueblo. bill: i went to the university of miami in ohio. 10:31 now. watch. sounds of chaos in portland as u.s. marshals tried to secure the federal courthouse during the blm riots of 2020. senator tom cotton threatening to withhold d.o.j. nominees unless the justice department represents them who are being sued for doing their jobs. we have that part of the story now. dana: good morning, bill.
