us there. real heroism for the rabbi in colleyville, texas, throwing the chair after ten hours. the man holding them hostag was about to do something. luckily, they knew what to do. they do. the senate bill that won t pass. a filibuster needed to end the debate and vote on the measures. republicans are expected to block the bills. majority leader chuck schumer says he ll put forward a vote on a filibuster change after it s used to block the voting rights
socialist and i m the capitalist. he is struggling to define himself, right, and he had run as the anti-trump and the coalition was unified by this one thing, they all hated trump, they wanted him gone, but that didn t mean they had agreed on a lot of important issues and they hadn t settled those just because they elected joe biden. they elected him in a 50-50 senate and the house only slightly more democratic, and didn t give him the wherewithal necessarily to accomplish some of the biggest things they wanted to see here today. even senator sanders said let s find a way to break down the package and see what will pass and won t pass. that s a big change. kristen, you ve done a lot of reporting. what is next? is it the electoral account act, the universal pre-k? what does he do next? they are going to work on the electoral account act, which would fortify the way electoral
defending voting rights at the constitution center in philadelphia but it wasn t followed up with any real action. that s the fear here as well, that with the filibuster in place, with the senate seemingly immovable, this will be all talk and not a lot of movement. the president has done what he can by executive order. that s limited, to be sure. civil rights groups including reverend al sharpton, the national action network, of course a familiar presence on this network, have said if they don t see tangible results soon, maybe by mlk day, there s a chance that african american voters, a key part of the democratic electorate, they may stay home during the midterms, there seems to be real frustration from that key voting group, saying, look, this is the gravest threat to not just democrats ability to stay in power but to our democracy itself. they re worried that there won t be meaningful action following the speech tomorrow. jonathan lemire, sahil kapur, thank you so much. congres
way around the filibuster. manchin and sinema are smart people, they know these rules won t pass if things stay as they are. they ll have to make a decision to protect the rules of the senate as they exist today or make a change to pass this bill. we expect from the white house that president biden will make a passionate case for those two bills and also call for what they say is restoring the senate to functionality, that s code for changing filibuster rules. the president campaigned on protecting the filibuster but he s been inching in this direction for months now. last month he was asked about carving out the filibuster. he came out for it but he s never given this full-throated speech in favor of it and that s what activists want to see, the same level of commitment as president biden put into getting his bipartisan infrastructure law passed. there are some republicans that haven t bought into the big lie that the election was stolen.
up today. dem bullies. always very clever. let s bring in karl rove, fox news contributor and having a birthday this friday. hi, karl. i want you to listen to senator joe manchin. here is what he said. i knew where they were and i knew what they could and could not do. they just never realized it because they figured surely to god we can move one person. beat the living crap out of people and think they ll be submissive, period. dana: wall street journal says by all means vote in the senate on build back better. schumer demands his incumbents vote for a bill that won t pass. what about the strategy there? well, i m not certain there is a strategy. because they know they can t pass the bill. i understand that recently in a telephone conversation with business leaders that senator manchin was asked about this and he said that he told schumer if you don t believe that i m a no, bring it up for a vote and i will vote no. so schumer knows this is going to be a problem that he is not
