yeah, nicolle. the question tonight after talking to voters for a couple days here really comes down to two fundamental questions. number one, how many republicans are going to be coming home, particularly those suburban women who were turned off by donald trump, and secondly, how many fatigued democrats are going to stay home? we have seen that early voting record hit this earlier today, and that obviously redowns to the benefit usually of democrats, but mcauliffe is facing significant headwinds. i talked to a democratic canvasser for mcauliffe and she was concerned about the demographics, particularly younger african-americans. that s why you saw the mcauliffe campaign bring in representative clyburn, to try to fire up the last-minute turnout machine, and republicans frankly are very motivated on this issue of education. you asked me the other day to see if there was evidence of critical race theory being
manchin, his, oh, i want it down to maybe $1.9 trillion, $1 trillion, is earlier this year, before we had the bipartisan deal in hand, he was calling for up to $4 trillion in investment. it s wild if you go back and look and see how over the course of the year, manchin has been arguing with himself almost, reducing and reducing, and reducing the amount he s willing to support. i m very curious as to why that is, what he is seeing in his internal polling that says that, no, the people of west virginia don t want this. he said repeatedly he can t go out and explain what they re doing in the bill right now. and i have doubts about that. like representative clyburn was saying, there is plenty in this bill that if you wanted to argue this is why we re putting these investments into place, so that, for example, the coal mines that are running out of coal in west virginia, so when those mines do shut down, and when people are moving off coal, there are good jobs available for west virginians.
republicans that are pro choice. so we do have majority of people in the senate who are, indeed, supportive of the women s health protection act. later on this morning i ll speak to representative clyburn who has said that there should be carve out of the filibuster for things as important as voting rights. do you think this should fall into the same category? you re saying it can pass the house and the senate with a simple majority but it s not getting past the filibuster. we re not getting ten republicans in the senate to vote for this. do you think this should also be something that is an exception to the filibuster? i absolutely do. this would certainly help our chances for getting this very, very important bill passed. and this has to be high on the priority list for us to get past this filibuster. this is too important for america. this is too important for
principles apply to everybody. black on white, rich or poor, young or old. that s what i think we ought to be concerned about. representative clyburn, good to see you again. thanks for joining us. representative clyburn, the majority whip in the house of representatives and chair of the house select committee on the coronavirus crisis. i want to bring in congressman jason crow. he s a former u.s. army ranger, also a house manager in the first impeachment trial of donald trump. good morning, congressman. thank for you joining us. there s so many big matters going on, but the january 6th commission is set to get underway this week. we still do not have what sense of what kevin mccarthy is going to do with his side of things but we re going to try to get some happened american are
in a much weaker position when it s time to respond to a national disaster. now, i believe, that we are going to be in a much weaker position to stop this if we don t ensure that people are motivated and engaged,engaged, if folks in washington don t do their damn job. the filibuster is not sacred, but voting rights are. so is it the filibuster or us? i choose us every time. the president was in philadelphia making a point about voting rights but he stopped short of saying what you said about not using the filibuster, getting rid of it. what do you want the president to do about that and will it make your fight in pennsylvania easier if the president puts his back behind carving out voting rights from the filibuster? yeah, i missed your segment with representative clyburn but
