what s the latest. chad: griff, good afternoon, the senate has met for more than 24 hours straight and voted for nearly 14 hours straight. exhaustion is setting in. senate chaplain barry black sought to calm freight tempers. our weekend work gently reminds us that freedom s price must be paid. as our senators provide the currency of perseverance to protect and defend this land we love. chad: there s gamesmanship, republicans controversial amendments to get vulnerable democrats on the spot especially on border issues and on energy. so the next time you see a mark kelly in arizona or a raphael warnock in georgia or a maggie hanson in new jersey or michael bennett in colorado or katherine cortez, hey, we want gas prices to be lower, you know they are lying because they stood up and voted, raised the gas taxes, stick it to the producers, make our consumers pay more at the pump. chad: democrats lashed out at gop for striking a provision to cap insulin at $35 a month in private
pockets of americans, it lowers utility costs, the healthcare costs are not in dispute. those are big deals. americans when they get to their kitchen tables know that they want things to be a little more fair. they want to have those those costs reduced and this does this in a substantive way and how does it do it, it taxes billionaire corporations and taxes make sure that tax cheats that have very high incomes are paying their fair share to the government. griff: wait a minute, is it going to do that? as we heard from chad pirgram, there s discussion, sounds like manchin and republican senator john thune in discussions about this 15% minimum corporate tax rate which is one of the biggest revenue raisers in the bill. you will have a hard time paying for it if you don t accomplish that. ultimately is this not arriving at what they had hoped? i don t see that. i think that voterama, you have
don t think anyone changed their opinion. far more important to senator manchin than justice. joined lie reserved al sharpton, president of the national action network. derek johnson, president and ceo of the naacp both attended the meeting with senator manchin. rev, start with you. sounds like manchin walked out of that meeting, thank you very much but i m not doing anything to save democracy. your thoughts? he clearly walked out of the meeting holding his position, and we clearly walked out of the meeting holding ours. this is about saving the democracy and the right to vote that people died for to get in the first place. let us not in any way pretend that we and the black community and in other communities suffered, blacks and whites died in the south to get the right to vote for meg gur evers and
what happened? college. is he saying 22 to 53. that sounds like manchin is getting there not quite there yet. i think it s going to come down to flake. we re going to find out later this morning. this they do not have 50 votes yet. that s the bottom line. brian: i laugh at the report that this report is being shoed aside by democrats most of them. 45 pages of introduce five days. 1600 pages of information that the fbi included as coming into their tip line. they included everything. brian: they also had six previous investigations to draw from as additional evidence. ed: you mentioned would you be more likely or less likely to vote for senate democratic if they oppose kavanaugh. for joe donefully indianna. less likely to vote for him 32%, less likely wins. heitcamp 34% less likely.
