both parties love to say if we collect better andrd hear, the money is always there. it is like a last resort, hey, maybe the irs can find the money. that s a skeptical me. you are usually my glass half full guy. john, and thank you, you are piece this weekend was great, with joe biden facing his challenges at home, after facing off with vladimir putin. dana bash joins us. happy birthday. you had a great interview with bernie sanders where you got him to shock everyone and say he could get on board with the manchin voting plan. do i have that right? sort of, yes. because the fact he didn t say no. right. was i think as close to a yes
but obviously, first and foremost this week in front of the u.s. senate will be the question of voting rights. dana, we were speaking to ron brown steen last hour. i said to him, is this just symbolic voting for democrats at this point just to reach that bar of keeping their caucus together to get the 50 which of course doesn t pass the legislation? or is it part of a bigger plan? he said, listen, look at this as a step along the way. unite the caucus, undermine republican unity in standing up to any democratic proposal. is that the way we should look at this? or is that a little pie in the sky? no, i think i think that s exactly right, that that is the way that we should look at it, a step along the way. i would add one data point or one stone in the way that the democrats are stepping, and that is joe manchin, kiersten cinema, and not just them, but other democrats who frankly are up for re-election, who might be
