It bAsicAlly sAid thAt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/student-Athletes'>Student AthletesA> could ActuAlly be compensAted in terms of computers, other school supplies, but <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/brett-kAvAnAugh'>Brett KAvAnAughA>, At <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/the-end'>The EndA> wrote this, tAlking About where the court wAs probAbly going to go, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/brett-kAvAnAugh'>Brett KAvAnAughA> sAid thAt, trAdition Alone cAnnot justify the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/ncAAs-decision'>NcAAs DecisionA> to build A mAssive <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/money-enterprise'>Money EnterpriseA> on the bAcks of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/student-Athletes'>Student AthletesA> who Are not fAirly compensAted. I know youve seen it, ive seen it At AlAbAmA over the pAst 40 yeArs, usuAlly these poor kids coming from <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/rurAl-AlAbAmA-being'>RurAl AlAbAmA BeingA> recruited, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/mAking-tens-of-millions'>MAking Tens Of MillionsA> of dollArs for the university, they breAk An Ankle, something else, A knee gets busted And theyre At the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/pigly-wiggly'>Pigly WigglyA> for the rest of their lives, they get no <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/heAlth-cAre'>HeAlth CAreA>, dont get compensAted, nothing. Its been outrAgeous for A long time. It is. And it rocks the foundAtion of the ncAA <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/theorys-cAse'>Theorys CAseA> whAt people love About <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/college-sports'>College SportsA> is the AmAteurism. But whAts hAppening in <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/college-sports'>College SportsA> is people Are mAking billions of dollArs, And the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/heAd-coAch'>HeAd CoAchA>es And <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/Athletic-directors'>Athletic DirectorsA> Are the highest pAid officiAls in every stAte in the country And the plAyers get nothing. It wAs A nArrow decision thAt upholds A former ruling in A lower court. Under current ncAA rules students cAnnot be pAid, As you sAid, And the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/scholArship-money'>ScholArship MoneyA> is cApped At the cost of Attending school. Now schools recruiting top Athletes cAn offer benefits for things like computers, pAid internships, study AbroAd progrAms And scholArships. ThAts the nArrow ruling About educAtion in this cAse. But if you reAd thAt ruling, especiAlly the concurrent opinion from <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/judge-kAvAnAugh'>Judge KAvAnAughA>. He sAys this opens the door to bigger questions in <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/college-sports'>College SportsA> About Athletes being pAid And in this 90 supreme <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/court-cAse'>Court CAseA>, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/judge-kAvAnAugh'>Judge KAvAnAughA> wAs the strongest sAying its time to look At your model, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/something-something'>Something SomethingA> bigger, And it leAds to the Athletes getting bigger when jerseys Are sold, fAces And nAmes Are put on video gAmes, when theyre it evAluAted to the stAtus of professionAl Athlete without A nickel, thAts About to chAnge And <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/judge-kAvAnAugh'>Judge KAvAnAughA> mAde thAt cAse yesterdAy. You hAve to look At the logic And sAy, where hAs everybody been for so long. One of the most outrAgeous cAses wAs severAl yeArs Ago, i think some kid At <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/ohio-stAte'>Ohio StAteA> A stAr tried to sell his jersey And they tried to bAn the school from existence, suck it down to A blAck hole. I dont remember the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/kids-nAme'>Kids NAmeA> but he tried to sell A jersey, And he got in trouble. And yet, how much money did thAt university, how much money did the ncAA mAke off of kids in ohio And Across <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/AmericA-buying'>AmericA BuyingA> his jersey . They mAde tens of millions of dollArs. This is such A scAm, its not A close cAll, im glAd justice kAvAnAugh wrote whAt he did And i hope the court goes in thAt direction. You get to the core of the cAse when you reAd the decision, especiAlly <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/judge-kAvAnAugh'>Judge KAvAnAughA>s mAjority decision. The core of the cAse is inequity. They recruit All of these young people, young Athletes, bAsebAll, bAsketbAll, And footbAll Are the big drAws in <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/college-sports'>College SportsA> in terms of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/AttendAnce-And-money'>AttendAnce And MoneyA> And everything like thAt. But you stAck up the money thAt school <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/After-school'>After SchoolA> <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/After-school'>After SchoolA> mAkes off of these Athletes, And especiAlly if you get to go to A bowl gAme, they mAke millions, And As willy just pointed out, they pAy <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/heAd-coAch'>HeAd CoAchA>es millions And millions of dollArs, fAr more thAn Any <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/fAculty-member'>FAculty MemberA> mAkes And the young men And women recruited to plAy these sports get nothing. Not only thAt but they put themselves in risk if they tAlk to the wrong recruiter At the wrong time. If they tAke A <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/bAloney-sAndwich'>BAloney SAndwichA> for lunch for free, A <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/cAr-ride'>CAr RideA> its ridiculous. Its ridiculous. The ncAA hAs been behind the times for At leAst 40 to 50 yeArs. Its About time theyre going to be cAught up into An equitAble relAtionship with the Athletes they recruit. And the dAm is breAking with this decision, the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/guys-nAme'>Guys NAmeA> is terrell pryer, plAyed in the nfl for A little while, And As you sAy he tried to sell his jersey, chAmpionship ring, got A tAttoo thAt he sAid he pAid for, but theres question if he got A discount And he hAd to sit out five gAmes becAuse he got A tAttoo. They sAid you cAnnot use your likeness in the ncAA to get Any benefit whAtsoever. Its been preposterous for A long time And something chAnged yesterdAy profoundly. For sure. We know something About mAking money off of footbAll At the university of AlAbAmA. And <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/coAch-sAbAn'>CoAch SAbAnA>, i think hes the highest pAid employee in the stAte of AlAbAmA And im supposed to be outrAged by thAt . Im not. Im A cApitAlist. He mAkes millions And millions of dollArs for the university of AlAbAmA. You wAlk Across thAt cAmpus And you see it in other buildings. You see it All Across the cAmpus. So im fine with thAt. But if were using thAt logic for coAches use it for plAyers. If <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/coAch-sAbAn'>CoAch SAbAnA> deserves the money becAuse hes bringing in All thAt money, well, those plAyers Are bringing in All thAt money, too. So lets tAke cAre of them. Lets tAke cAre of these kids And stop punishing these kids. I wAs going to sAy its ridiculous. It is. WhAts interesting to see is the impAct it hAs on womens sports. Yep. Now these young femAle Athletes hAve Another wAy to leverAge up in the sport i think, which is going to be interesting given whAts been open by the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/supreme-court'>Supreme CourtA> decision. For sure. SpeAking of leverAging up, hAve you All heArd the news . WhAts thAt . I dont know but there mAy be there mAy be A new leAder in the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/republicAn-pArty'>RepublicAn PArtyA>, At leAst in the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/rAnk-And-file'>RAnk And FileA> hAve you heArd this . OkAy. No, im serious. This is good. Let me give you some bAckground reAlly quickly. YesterdAy we showed the pictures of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/mike-pence'>Mike PenceA> getting booed. I hAve friends who were At the event And they told me, four people, there were 2,000 people there, there were four people there And those four people shouted And immediAtely got tAken out, the other 2,000 people were very respectful of him. It wAs very interesting, though i <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/cAnt-tAlk'>CAnt TAlkA> while hes tAlking, its distrActing me, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/come-on'>Come OnA>. But thAnk you. So we know whAt were tAlking About. I <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/cAnt-tAlk'>CAnt TAlkA> while hes tAlking. It doesnt work. The mood is broken. But AnywAy, so he my god. So i Asked, i sAid, how wAs pence received . They sAid, heres the deAl. It wAs respectful. They know <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/mike-pence'>Mike PenceA>, theyve loved him for 20 yeArs. He got three <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/stAnding-ovAtions'>StAnding OvAtionsA>. But it wAs muted. He would hAve hAd 15 <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/stAnding-ovAtions'>StAnding OvAtionsA> lAst yeAr. Hes hAd A long wAy to go, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>. Right. But then, this one person sAid, but my god, you should hAve seen the response for <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/ron-desAntis'>Ron DesAntisA>. He wAs like A concurring king And this person whos been in republicAn politics for 40, 45 yeArs sAid i hAvent seen Anything since reAgAn in 80. UnbelievAble. Ron desAntis. Ron desAntis. I keep heAring this. I hAve too. Just <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/rock-stAr'>Rock StArA> stAtus. This guy is tAking over the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/republicAn-pArty'>RepublicAn PArtyA>. Ron desAntis. Ron desAntis. And i sAw A poll yesterdAy, mikA i wAs going to get to the criticAl vote on <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voting-<A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s'>Voting RightsA>. Lets pull this. The new king is the king. Its A <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/strAw-poll'>StrAw PollA> showing republicAns top choice for their next president iAl nominee. Its not who you might think. FloridA president <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/ron-desAntis'>Ron DesAntisA> topped <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/donAld-trump'>DonAld TrumpA> in A poll tAken in denver this pAst weekend. DesAntis sAw his <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/populArity-rise'>PopulArity RiseA> Among republicAns during the pAndemic for being one of the only governors to routinely reject <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/cdc-heAlth'>Cdc HeAlthA> guidelines. You could pick more thAn one, which cAndidAtes would you consider voting for, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/ron-desAntis'>Ron DesAntisA> in first plAce, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/donAld-trump'>DonAld TrumpA> the second plAce. And former <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/vice-president'>Vice PresidentA> <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/mike-pence'>Mike PenceA> with the heckling And his refusAl to overturn the 2020 election he polled At 22 . Surprising, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/nikki-hAley'>Nikki HAleyA> Also very low, i guess its becAuse she crossed <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/donAld-trump'>DonAld TrumpA> for A dAy. But <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA> now, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA> now isnt there i think i sAw some even though online betting things where you bet for the president s hAd desAntis AheAd of trump. Like which is crAzy. So desAntis now, michAel, i know youve probAbly heArd the sAme thing ive heArd Among wAshington Activists, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/wAshington-money'>WAshington MoneyA> people, theyre AlreAdy quietly. They dont wAnt to sAy publicly becAuse they dont wAnt to upset the big mAn. They dont wAnt to get An emAil. They dont wAnt to get An emAil. Is thAt whAt it is now . OkAy. But this town, not just this town, but Also the Activists, whether theyre evAngelicAls or whether theyre money people, theyre All theyre quietly moving towArds putting their money on desAntis. Theres A reAson for thAt, As one person put it to me, its desAntis is trump without the gold toilet. MeAning you dont hAve the bling And the flAsh. WhAt youve got is A governor who for A lot of the bAse stood in the breech AgAinst the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/cdc-onslAught'>Cdc OnslAughtA> And requirements And showed his mAcho thAt wAy. And quite effectively wAs Able to leverAge off of trump in some degree. And thAts worked to his AdvAntAge. Hes now built this relAtionship with this bAse in A wAy thAt puts him where we see in these types of pollings. Youre going to see more of this over the next few months As we heAd to 2022. The other thing About desAntis. He won. Theres A liAbility with trump, he doesnt win. Lost the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/white-house'>White HouseA>, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/the-house'>The HouseA>, the senAte. So fAr desAntis hAs mAnAged to keep himself close to trump, running the Ads Adoring trump but won the governor of the stAte. ThAts the difference. ThAts where i question the republicAns in congress And the senAte who still cAnnot they cAnnot defy trump And, you know, okAy its A cult. ThAts greAt. But when hes losing, if youre sAying its politicAl logic, they dont wAnt to lose their rAces. But hes lost everything for them. So why not wAlk AwAy from this crAzy mAn . But they dont hAve to, mikA, in this cAse. Why . BecAuse this is less And less About trump in thAt sense. In other words, whAt youre seeing is the bAse mAking the pivot. Theyre mAking A move off of trump, towArds desAntis. Were going from the politicAl heroin to the politicAl methAdone. Im moving from trump, i heAr time And AgAin, not thAt from republicAns thAt go to <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/fAith-And-freedom'>FAith And FreedomA> conferences, but i heAr the sAme thing over And over AgAin, why do you love desAntis so much . Why do you think hes going to win . Why is he the guy in 2024 . They sAy hes trump with the things we love About <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/trump-And-none'>Trump And NoneA> of the liAbilities so fAr. YeAh. Theres no question About it. You know better thAn Anybody, joe, in republicAn politics in thAt stAte, while <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/governor-desAntis'>Governor DesAntisA> hAs been criticized nAtionAlly for wAys hes hAndled the pAndemic, he gets high mArks inside the stAte of floridA, viewed As A good governor, competent. And he fights All the sAme fights on issues And culturAl questions thAt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/president-trump'>President TrumpA> fought And continues to fight but he does it without the exhAustion. You tAlk to the sAme people you were tAlking to over the weekend thAt were in the room they will vote for <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/donAld-trump'>DonAld TrumpA> if he runs AgAin, they liked him, they were exhAusted by him though And they wAnted him to get off the stAge. DesAntis doesnt give them thAt feeling. He fights the fights but doesnt come with the personAl drAmA thAt trump cAme with. Hes viewed by mAny As A good, competent governor As one of the most importAnt stAtes in the country. And he checks All the boxes, too, he wAs cAptAin of his <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/bAsebAll-teAm'>BAsebAll TeAmA> At yAle, went to hArvArd lAw school, fought in <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/fA-lieu'>FA LieuA> jA. He hAs the pedigree. Yes, he hAs the pedigree. And <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/hes-somebody'>Hes SomebodyA> thAt republicAns cAn support And AgAin get the positives whAt they consider to be the positives of trump but ActuAlly move towArds somebody thAt ActuAlly hAs lived the type of life they used to clAim they wAnted their politiciAns to leAd. But more importAntly cAn win bAck the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/white-house'>White HouseA>, shore up the senAte And <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/the-house'>The HouseA>, wAtch for <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/governor-desAntis'>Governor DesAntisA> to plAy A role in 2022. As one of those leAding republicAn figures thAt A lot of cAndidAtes Are going to be cAlling on to come into their stAtes. You think willy hit the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA> points About his governAnce in floridA, you look At his polling there, its strong. So the question for nAtionAl republicAns, whether its <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/mcconnell-or-mccArthy'>Mcconnell Or MccArthyA> is how does thAt help us . ThAt brAnd will help. You wAtch him plAy A role And <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/donAld-trump'>DonAld TrumpA> less of A role from cAndidAtes Asking cAn you come to my stAte And help me win next november. No republicAn will sAy it here, but weve All heArd it. Ive heArd it from every republicAn on <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/the-hill'>The HillA>, in the senAte, in <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/the-house'>The HouseA> thAt i tAlked to. Like they wAnt him gone. They do. I heArd it yesterdAy theyve been sAying it the lAst four yeArs they wAnt him gone but didnt know how to get rid of him. They thought if they ignored him, everything would be fine And they lost everything. I tAlked to <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/somebody-yesterdAy'>Somebody YesterdAyA> high up in the southern <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/bAptist-church'>BAptist ChurchA> who sAw our discussion And sAid the miscAlculAtion thAt preAchers mAde for four yeArs wAs they could ignore trump And it would just go AwAy. They kept hoping it would just go AwAy, it never went AwAy, churches got divided, now theres <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/qAnon-conspirAcy'>QAnon ConspirAcyA> theories going on, now they hAve to confront it becAuse it wouldnt go AwAy. ThAts the cAlculAtion they mAde on <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/the-hill'>The HillA>. But when this guy goes, hes on A life rAft, nobody is going After him. This news About desAntis is the best news thAt people like <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/mitch-mcconnell'>Mitch McconnellA> hAve heArd. Yes. Almost every privAte conversAtion i hAve hAd, too, joe, ends up there. They voted for trump, would probAbly vote AgAin if he runs in 2024 given the AlternAtives but they would love somebody to fill the void he left stepping off the stAge And At this moment it looks like governor <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/ron-desAntis'>Ron DesAntisA> of floridA. Itll be interesting to wAtch As hes elevAted by <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/the-pArty-whether-in-public'>The PArty Whether In PublicA> wAys or privAte wAys how <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/donAld-trump'>DonAld TrumpA> tAkes thAt news. He wAnts everyone to believe hes still the leAder of the pArty, he wAnts everybody to believe hes going to run AgAin in 2024, At leAst hAve thAt threAt out there. But As desAntis nAme comes up AgAin And AgAin before republicAns it feels like A mAtter of time before trump turns on him. I dont know. It seems like its <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/ron-desAntis'>Ron DesAntisA> pArty. Any other news . Yes. The debAte continues todAy he owns this plAce. Why dont we just put mission Accomplished up At the rnc. Its over. It is over. How does trump try And tAke it bAck . Hes silenced. Hes sort of impotent At this point he cAnt tweet, cAnt go out on fAcebook. No. He does emAils but i dont know who reAds them. I love the fAct thAt its over. Joe, Are you going to be okAy. He propped up desAntis, tAlked About desAntis being his running mAde in 2024 And desAntis mAy be cAlling him, will you be my cAbinet secretAry. Help me mAn. I think its nikki. He gAve desAntis his stArt. Enough. DesAntis wouldnt be here for him And now All these people Are sAying its desAntis pArty. UnfortunAtely for him it looks like desAntis pArty. Its stArting to look thAt wAy in june of 2021. Well see if the it holds up. We hAve to keep it together. Were going to move to other news now. A criticAl vote is set for todAy on whether to begin A debAte on A sweeping voting <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/<A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s-bill'>Rights BillA> thAt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/democrAts-hope'>DemocrAts HopeA> will counter restrictive new <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voting-meAsures'>Voting MeAsuresA> being enActed in republicAn led stAtes.

BArAck obAmA sAying, we support <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voter-id'>Voter IdA>, And hes <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>. Most AmericAns support <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voter-id'>Voter IdA>. BArAck obAmA is now sAying, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/purge-voter'>Purge VoterA> roles. AgAin something the democrAts would sAy, you just hAte blAck people. You were born hAting blAck people becAuse you wAnt the rolls to be purged. ThAts All democrAts hAve sAid As long As these things hAve been brought up. BArAck obAmA, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/stAcey-AbrAms'>StAcey AbrAmsA>, you nAme it, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/go-on-And'>Go On AndA> on, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/joe-mAnchin'>Joe MAnchinA> And these progressives Are plAying this i got to sAy theyre plAying it brilliAntly. And if republicAns in the senAte dont go Along with this, they Are so exposed. Their <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/bAd-fAith'>BAd FAithA> is so reveAled. WhAt i love About this is, this is how politics used to be plAyed. This is like lets meet in the middle. If you dont come to the middle with me, im going to run over you, youre showing your <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/bAd-fAith'>BAd FAithA>. And <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/joe-mAnchin'>Joe MAnchinA> is showing the world <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA> now, hes given the republicAns A chAnce but showing whAt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/bAd-fAith'>BAd FAithA> theyre operAting under. I think thAts <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>. The question here, though, is if you figure out And know where this thing ends up with the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/vote-todAy'>Vote TodAyA>. Remember, this is A vote to hAve A discussion About the bill. This isnt the bill, this is cAn we <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/tAlk-About'>TAlk AboutA> the bill . YeAh. Youre <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>. In this cAse youll see the republicAns exposed in thAt vAin. Heres the rub for me, whAt comes next when they return After the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/fourth-of-july'>Fourth Of JulyA> . Only joe knows. Joe knows. So joe still hAs some leverAge in this process. Hes brought leAding progressives, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/stAcey-AbrAms'>StAcey AbrAmsA>, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/bArAck-obAmA'>BArAck ObAmAA> with him. And now do you sAy, since the republicAns dont wAnt the big pAckAge do we serve up A bill thAt tAkes out the things they supposedly dont wAnt . Right. Well see how thAt plAys out. I think joe hAs worked this to his AdvAntAge At the moment. The question is whether the democrAtic pArty hAs the politicAl strAtegy on the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/bAck-end'>BAck EndA> to close the deAl. ThAt gets into filibuster And other things, joe. It does. But you know, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/mike-bArnicle'>Mike BArnicleA> weve sAid here from the beginning on voting, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/joe-mAnchin'>Joe MAnchinA> hAs reversed engineered this, we dont know how but he hAs. Were moving closer And closer to this is A greAt compromise position. And then, you know, we heArd lAst week the ideA floAted, okAy. They went from 67 for A filibuster to 60 for A filibuster. MAybe they go to 55 for A filibuster. This voting <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/<A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s-bill'>Rights BillA> is going to pAss. Its just republicAns cAn figure out how pAinful they wAnt it to be, but its going to pAss. MAnchin hAs figured thAt out. Help me out here, All of you Are in wAshington And youre stooped in <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/wAshington-lore'>WAshington LoreA> And wAshington rules of order. How is this going to pAss when the most importAnt opponent of this bill And every other bill proposed by the biden AdministrAtion or Any democrAtic senAtor, the most importAnt opponent is <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/mitch-mcconnell'>Mitch McconnellA> who simply does not cAre. Doesnt cAre whAt we sAy. Doesnt cAre whAt the editoriAls sAy. He doesnt cAre whAt people think. How does it pAss when hes stAnding in opposition . ActuAlly <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/mitch-mcconnell'>Mitch McconnellA> represents the republicAn cAucus so hes doing whAt he thinks the republicAn cAucus At lArge wAnts to do. ThAts his job. But there Are five republicAns, im sure. LisA murkowski, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/susAn-collins'>SusAn CollinsA>, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/mitt-romney'>Mitt RomneyA>, And A couple others thAt for A <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voting-bill'>Voting BillA> thAt requires <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voter-id'>Voter IdA> And purges the rolls, i think there Are five republicAns thAt support thAt. ThAt 55 <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/filibuster-rule'>Filibuster RuleA> is looking more promising At the moment, it wAs A week or two Ago. Not just <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voting-<A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s'>Voting RightsA> but look At infrAstructure. Interesting you hAve two big bills being discussed At the moment by two bipArtisAn groups where its looking like there could be movement if you cAn shift youre not going to get 60 on either of them. You could get to 55 on both of those. ImAgine thAt, if you cAn go to those moderAte republicAns And sAy, give us 55 As the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/filibuster-threshold'>Filibuster ThresholdA> And we cAn get somewhere on not just <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voting-<A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s'>Voting RightsA> but on infrAstructure too. Its interesting how things Are pAnning out At the moment where you get some of the moderAte republicAns sAying we wAnt to legislAte. ImAgine how populAr it will be if within A couple of weeks of eAch of these bills pAssing, you pAss A significAnt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/infrAstructure-bill'>InfrAstructure BillA> And you pAss A voting <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/<A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s-bill'>Rights BillA>. There Are going to be A lot of thAts the rub <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA> there. ThAt isnt hArd for mcconnell to cArry on sAying no when you hAve enough republicAns sAying we wAnt this, we wAnt to bring it to 55. This hAs hAppened before, im not sAying its going to hAppen here but if A greAt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/infrAstructure-bill'>InfrAstructure BillA> is going to help people And A greAt voting <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/<A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s-bill'>Rights BillA> thAt is A bipArtisAn bill with <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voter-id'>Voter IdA> And the purging of the rolls And it mAkes voting eAsier And tAlks About gerrymAndering, if thAt bill goes, its one of those things will we get 54, 55, And then its like 78 thAt voted yes, becAuse people Are like weve seen it. Ive seen it hAppen where people Are like, wAit, im not going to get run over for newt. Im going to protect myself in my district. Youre hAving flAsh bAcks Arent you . Yes. You heArd it All the time, you sAy blAnk delAy, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/blAnk-newt'>BlAnk NewtA> And you go in And vote yes. It hAppens in every legislAtive body, hold the line, hold the line. You see the line is About to breAk. Im not going to be left here going AgAinst A bill thAt 75 of AmericAns support. ThAt 55 filibuster is A rule chAnge, they cAn do thAt eAsily. Lower the number, the threshold by the wAy, importAnt, theyve done it before. They went from 67 to 60. So pleAse, dont tell me thAt this is the trAshing of thAt. You hAvent ActuAlly got rid of the filibuster, the democrAts were sAying dont get rid of it. And the second point, this is the juicy pArt, is thAt for mcconnell, to your eArlier point About looking Around At his cAucus, he knows A couple things. He hAs more members on the line in 2022 thAn the democrAts do. Two, these two issues Are huge drivers in those stAtes for those 24 senAtors who Are going to be on the line. So At A certAin point this breAks down for him, the momentum moves AgAinst him. ThAts how <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/joe-mAnchin'>Joe MAnchinA> i think, to your point, hAs reengineered this thing. So he creAted A bAckwAsh of momentum Around this ideA, you now got the very thing thAt republicAns AlreAdy AlwAys held up As were not you know, if you dont purge the rolls And give us id. All <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>, you cAn hAve it. Here you go. You got them. ThAts whAt i sAid, thAts whAt you do. You wAnt thAt . WhAt else do you wAnt . Ill give you thAt. Willie, so michAel is exActly <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>. This is not debAted in A vAcuum. You dont sAy no to bills thAt hAve 70, 75 <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/ApprovAl-rAting'>ApprovAl RAtingA> when you hAve A contested rAce where republicAns Are vAcAting their seAts, A <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/senAte-seAt'>SenAte SeAtA> in pennsylvAniA, in ohio, in north cArolinA, most likely in wisconsin, it depends on whAt the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/ouijA-boArd'>OuijA BoArdA> tells ron johnson. You hAve A rAce in ArizonA. No he is consulting the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/ouijA-boArd'>OuijA BoArdA>, you hAve to hAve the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/tinfoil-hAt'>Tinfoil HAtA> on just <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>, get the pAper clips, put them on the doorwAys, but if the signAl is coming the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA> wAy, ron is probAbly not running either. So you hAve the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/swing-stAtes'>Swing StAtesA> in AmericA thAt Are going to be open. Does this pArty wAnt to vote AgAinst A <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voting-bill'>Voting BillA> And An <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/infrAstructure-bill'>InfrAstructure BillA> thAt seven out of ten AmericAns support . ThAts the bet democrAts Are mAking. Put out this bill thAt offers some compromise on questions like <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voter-id'>Voter IdA> And others, cAll their bluff. On the question of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voter-id'>Voter IdA> we put up thAt 80 of AmericAns support <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voter-id'>Voter IdA>. If you go to the poll yesterdAy, 84 of nonwhite voters support <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voter-id'>Voter IdA>. This is something theyre putting out there.

Were About one week removed from <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/president-biden'>President BidenA>s first overseAs trip. And thAt historic summit in genevA with vlAdimir putin. Joining us now u. S. NAtionAl editor At the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/finAnciAl-times'>FinAnciAl TimesA> <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/ed-luce'>Ed LuceA> in his lAtest piece entitled AmericA is bAck And wAnts everyone to focus on chinA. He lAys out where <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/europeAn-Allies'>EuropeAn AlliesA> Are giving biden A <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/pAssing-grAde'>PAssing GrAdeA> And in it you write this, prior to bidens first overseAs president iAl forrAy, there wAs speculAtion About where his strAtegic priority lAy, wAs it the contest between democrAcy And AutocrAcy, mAnAging the new erA of greAt power competition, reAsserting u. S. Led multilAterAlism or forging coAlitions to tAckle the pAndemic And <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/globAl-wArming'>GlobAl WArmingA> . The Answer is, All of the Above. By <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/bidens-trip'>Bidens TripA> conveyed whAt mAtters most his overriding preoccupAtion is chinA. Bidens much <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/hype-summit'>Hype SummitA> of democrAcy hAs been put off until next yeAr, no venue wAs specified. By contrAst, the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/chinA-chAllenge'>ChinA ChAllengeA> AppeAred three times in the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/g7-communique'>G7 CommuniqueA>, And wAs for the first time cited by <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/nAto-An-AlliAnce'>NAto An AlliAnceA> supposedly About defending the north AtlAntic. We need to work on your contActs. Im over 50. The doctor would sAy reminded me of multilAterAlism in the so, ed, its interesting the wAy you lAy this out. I meAn, biden got the Allies stAnding shoulder to shoulder, he i wont sAy he neutrAlized russiA. He did A lot of things At once. RussiA decided trying to get Along with the united stAtes mAy be in our best interest <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA> now so neutrAlized the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/russiA-threAt'>RussiA ThreAtA> perhAps if you believe whAt were heAring out of russiAn stAte mediA. So now the focus is on chinA. So if thAt wAs his goAl, youre <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>, he certAinly Accomplished it. NAiled it. I wAnt to heAr more of your doctor imitAtion. Theyre fAntAstic. Dont bring it bAck. It gets to the top of google. It wAs A good moment. It wAs not A good moment. My other fAvorite dr. Ber dr. Berzinski, i wAs telling mikA to do something eArly on, you know, i dont see you As A very smArt mAn. MikA, tAke the money. ThAt wAs embellished . No, thAt wAs it, exActly. Theyre All embellished. But its the legend. The reAson im pArticulArly not just becAuse you do A very good imitAtion but becAuse i think its At plAy here. When biden cAlls putin A worthy AdversAry, when he cAlled russiA A greAt power, this is not lAnguAge thAt is designed to pleAse republicAns. In fAct, they would Accuse biden mAny of them did of AppeAsing putin, why is he doing this . I think pArt of the reAson is to stroke the russiAn ego which AlwAys needs reAssuring which is built on geopoliticAl pArAnoiA. Why would you not do thAt . Its free. Its free. SAy theyre A greAt power, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/tAlk-About'>TAlk AboutA> how they helped us win <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/world-wAr'>World WArA> ii, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/tAlk-About'>TAlk AboutA> thAt doesnt cost Anything. If biden thought if the republicAns <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/thought-biden'>Thought BidenA> wAs AppeAsing putin, whAt did they think trump wAs doing . Im curious. Theres A column for thAt. WhAt the heck And the ideA thAt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/meeting-somebody'>Meeting SomebodyA> confers sort of uneArned blessings, whAt wAs he doing with kim jongun And putin, of course. But AnywAy, cost nothing. And it reAlly hAd the desired effect. At leAst in the short run. Well hAve to judge by the dogs thAt do not bArk. You meAsure thAt success by the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/solAr-wind'>SolAr WindA> AttAcks thAt dont occur, the flights thAt Arent diverted tominsk. There Are wedges the united stAtes And drive between russiA And chinA. ThAt chinA is treAting russiA like A little brother. Screwing russiA on the gAs its selling to chinA. Its <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/belt-And-roAd'>Belt And RoAdA> is going through <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/centrAl-AsiA'>CentrAl AsiAA> And mAny of AmericAs Allies, like indiA And frAnce And jApAn, Are trying to forge closer relAtions with putin in order to loosen its embrAce with chinA. Doesnt russiA hAve A good bit they hAve more to feAr from chinA thAn Anybody else. HistoricAlly russiA hAs been pAir enjoyed to its eAst And pArAnoid to its west. For the lAst yeArs weve been stoking up thAt pArAnoiA. And loosening up on thAt is smArt geo politics. ThAts why biden didnt tAke the democrAcy versus <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/AutocrAcy-thing'>AutocrAcy ThingA> About menu, but it wAsnt At the top of the menu. ThAts going to undermine his Attempts to drAw putin closer. KAtty kAy . Now thAt the summits Are over when it comes to trying to deAl with chinA, there Are some differences still, some europeAn sentiment there might be <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/trAde-deAls'>TrAde DeAlsA> europeAns wAnt to do with chinA in A wAy thAt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/wAshington-wouldnt'>WAshington WouldntA> like, theres still left in the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/white-house'>White HouseA> with the conundrum how to deAl with chinA, tAke on chinA, they united A front And whAt Are they going to do with thAt front . ThAts A good question. As we know the germAns sell more to chinA thAn the united stAtes. French, wine. ExActly. And thAt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/europeAn-desire'>EuropeAn DesireA> to keep else Ares with <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/chinA-good'>ChinA GoodA> is going to remAin. I think, though, whAt whAt A berzinski would think running this from the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/white-house'>White HouseA> And whAt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/jAke-sullivAn'>JAke SullivAnA> the nAtionAl security Adviser todAy, is probAbly thinking, As long As you loosen up the russiA chinA relAtionship, contrAdictions cAn go on, the europeAns cAn trAde with chinA, the united stAtes cAn move closer to russiA. As long As you just cloud or confuse A bit thAt russiA chinA very close pArtnership, then youre winning geopoliticAlly. All <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>. Ed is stAying with us.

In the eArly dAys of the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/coronAvirus-pAndemic'>CoronAvirus PAndemicA> lAst yeAr, while the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/trump-AdministrAtion'>Trump AdministrAtionA> debAted whAt to do with AmericAns who hAd contrActed the virus AbroAd, then <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/president-trump'>President TrumpA> reportedly AdvocAting for sending them to guAntAnAmo bAy, thAts one of the revelAtions inside A new book. The <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/wAshington-post'>WAshington PostA> obtAined A copy of the book AheAd of its publicAtion lAter this month. According to the Authors in februAry of 2020, before the u. S. OutbreAk exploded the president reportedly Asked, quote, dont we hAve An islAnd thAt we own . WhAt About <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/gwon-ton'>Gwon TonA> mow. He sAid we import goods were not going to import A virus. Aides were stunned And scuttled the ideAs over A bAcklAsh of detAining tourists on A bAse where they hold terrorism suspects. The book Also describes Another incident when <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/president-trump'>President TrumpA> wAs speAking with Alex AzAr, trump reported to hAve yelled this, quote, im going to lose the election becAuse of testing. WhAt idiot hAd the federAl government do testing . AzAr then sAid, you meAn jAred . Kushner vowed to tAke chArge of A nAtionAl <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/testing-strAtegy'>Testing StrAtegyA> just dAys eArlier. A lot to digest but the first story, the instinct of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/president-trump'>President TrumpA> in februAry of 2020, According to the books wAs to send AmericAn citizens who wAnted to the come home but were sick with coronAvirus to the sAme plAce thAt A <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/reed-shAke-mohAmmed'>Reed ShAke MohAmmedA> now sits. Now we know why he wAnted to buy greenlAnd. You look, its just exAmple After exAmple, going bAck over the pAst yeAr, just the ignorAnce well, the feigned ignorAnce becAuse its interesting when he wAs tAlking to woodwArd, i believe it wAs in lAte februAry, eArly mArch, he knew thAt the virus wAs A killer, As he sAid. He knew it wAs five times As likely to kill you As the flu. He knew it wAs Airborne, could impAct younger AmericAns. He knew everything on the tAke but suddenly in the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/white-house'>White HouseA>, i guess he just feigned ignorAnce And idiocy. As we reAd And listened to thAt excerpt, we hAd the normAl humAn reAction, i think All of us, we lAughed. And yet when you think About it, how close did we come to something, A reelection of this mAn, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/donAld-trump'>DonAld TrumpA>, thAt would hAve Absolutely destroyed the republic, the democrAcy thAt were All A pArt of . How close did we come . The <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/depArtment-of-justice'>DepArtment Of JusticeA> revelAtions A couple of weeks Ago, thAt they were wiretApping And bAsicAlly seizing reporters emAils, A lot of people let thAt slide becAuse A lot of people dont like the mediA, i get thAt. But it rAised the question within the biden AdministrAtion, im told, one lArge question thAt Applies to neArly every depArtment of the federAl government. WhAt else dont we know About whAt they did . We dont know the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/dAmAge-theyve'>DAmAge TheyveA> done. We know pArts of it And well find out pArts of it As we move Along but whAt dAmAge hAve they done . Well find out And very little will mAtter to his supporters. If we wAnt to tAlk generAlly About we could <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/tAlk-About'>TAlk AboutA> going After reporters, other <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/white-house'>White HouseA>s hAve done thAt. But i dont know thAt i still hAvent heArd of Any other <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/white-house'>White HouseA> ActuAlly using the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/justice-depArtment'>Justice DepArtmentA> to go After people who were ActuAlly investigAting the president like they went After democrAtic members of congress, getting into their phone records, stAff <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/members-phone'>Members PhoneA> records, kids phones. Just its crAzy. Even the wAy they did it After reporters then mAking A <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/gAg-rule'>GAg RuleA> in the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/news-orgAnizAtions'>News OrgAnizAtionsA> so the reporters couldnt tAlk to the lAwyers in the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/news-orgAnizAtions'>News OrgAnizAtionsA>. Everything wAs done thAt wAs possible to mAke <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/donAld-trump'>DonAld TrumpA> hAppy And to mAke <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/donAld-trump'>DonAld TrumpA> feel he wAs there legitimAtely And Anyone perceived As An enemy of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/donAld-trump'>DonAld TrumpA>, he wAs using the power of the government to the mAximum effect in order to try to prevent them from being Able to investigAte or AttAck him. And he felt thAt wAs <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA> becAuse he kept referring to it As my <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/justice-depArtment'>Justice DepArtmentA> or my generAls. His lAwyers. He hAd A view of government thAt they were his becAuse thAts whAt i guess hes AlwAys done in the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/trump-orgAnizAtion'>Trump OrgAnizAtionA> And he trAnsferred thAt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/business-model'>Business ModelA> to the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/white-house'>White HouseA>. The thing About gitmo, it wAs Absurd, silly, it wAs never going to hAppen. But the thing About the testing And the repetition of the testing is AlArming. Lives were lost becAuse AmericA didnt test enough. BecAuse of thAt mistAke people died. He must hAve known thAt whAt he wAs sAying wAsnt true, thAt you didnt get it becAuse you tested. You got it And, therefore, you needed to test. But thAt refusAl to Accept thAt As A policy thAt you needed to test more in order to isolAte people so they then didnt infect other people, thAt killed people. Yes. It wAs so short sided, ed, And so stupid. We could see it hAppening in reAl time. At <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/the-end'>The EndA> of the dAy, thAt wAs whAt A <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/dAy-trAder'>DAy TrAderA> would do. He didnt wAnt the testing becAuse he didnt wAnt the numbers to go up. And, of course, without the testing things would hAve been even worse. We couldnt do the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/contAct-trAcing'>ContAct TrAcingA> eArly on thAt we needed to do to keep the numbers lower becAuse we hAd A president who hAted the testing, becAuse it reveAled the people ActuAlly hAd covid And proved him to be A liAr when he sAid it wAs only one person coming in from chinA And soon its going to be gone. Its only 13 people, soon down to zero And All the lies he told. So he wAs desperAte to keep sort of protecting the originAl lies And it just blew up in his fAce. I cAnt remember who sAid thAt the greAt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/sAving-grAce'>SAving GrAceA> of the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/trump-AdministrAtion'>Trump AdministrAtionA> is thAt its mAlevolence is outstripped by its confidence. If he Agreed to proper <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/contAct-trAcing'>ContAct TrAcingA>, testing, And to follow sensible public messAging on this epidemic, if he hAd tAken dr. FAucis Advice, then he might well hAve been reelected. If he Agreed to A stimulus lAst fAll, which some in his pArty were pushing but he wAnted to bAsicAlly didnt wAnt to heAr Anything of it, 2,000 checks to people, he might hAve won lAst november if he followed <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/fAucis-Advice'>FAucis AdviceA> And just tAlked About the economy, he would hAve won. He would hAve won. And prior to the pAndemic <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>. Still AheAd, following severAl developments on <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/cApitol-hill'>CApitol HillA> this morning, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/president-biden'>President BidenA> rAmps up his push for An infrAstructure deAl.

Morning joe is coming <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA> bAck. Morning joe is coming <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA> bAck some sAy this is my greAtest chAllenge. Governments in record debt; inflAtion rising, currencies fAlling. But ive seen centuries of this. With one compAnion thAt hedges the risks you choose And those thAt choose you. The physicAl seAm of A digitAl world, trAded with A touch. My strongest And closest Asset. The gold stAndArd, so to speAk ; people cAll my future uncertAin. But theres one thing i Am sure of. Vo the world is rAcing to creAte the cleAn energy jobs thAt will solve the climAte crisis. President biden hAs A plAn to mAke sure AmericA wins thAt rAce. Biden doing nothing is not An option. The world is not wAiting. If we Act to sAve the plAnet, we cAn creAte millions of good pAying jobs. And i wAnt to put the world on notice, AmericA is bAck. The competition of the 21st century, the future, will be built <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA> here in AmericA. Doing nothing is not An option. Retirement income is complicAted. As your broker, ive solved it. ThAts greAt, cArl. But we need something better. ThAts eAsily AdjustAble hAs no penAlties or Advisory fee. And we cAn monitor to see thAt were on trAck. Like schwAb intelligent income. SchwAb introducing schwAb intelligent income. A simple, modern wAy to pAy yourself from your portfolio. Oh, thAts cool. I meAn, we dont hAve thAt. SchwAb. A modern ApproAch to weAlth mAnAgement. RepublicAns in the senAte Are lining up to try to use the filibuster to stop the for the people Act from even being debAted. Think About this. In the After mAth of An insurrection, with our democrAcy on the line, And mAny of these sAme republicAn senAtors going Along with the notion thAt somehow there were irregulArities And problems with legitimAcy in our most recent election, theyre suddenly AfrAid to even <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/tAlk-About'>TAlk AboutA> these issues And figure out solutions on the floor of the senAte. President obAmA jumps into the debAte over <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voting-<A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s'>Voting RightsA> As the senAte prepAres to tAke A key <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/vote-todAy'>Vote TodAyA> thAt could Also hAve implicAtions on the future of the filibuster. Welcome bAck to morning joe, its tuesdAy, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/june-22nd'>June 22ndA>, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/mike-bArnicle'>Mike BArnicleA> And <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/mike-steel'>Mike SteelA> Are still with us And we hAve kAsie hunt. Guy cecil joins us. A criticAl vote is set for todAy on whether to begin debAte on A sweeping voting <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/<A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s-bill'>Rights BillA>, thAt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/democrAts-hope'>DemocrAts HopeA> will counter new bills in republicAn led stAtes. The motion is expected to fAil in the fAce of unAnimous republicAn opposition. But if democrAts Are united, it could give more fuel to those who wAnt to eliminAte the filibuster. The person to wAtch is democrAtic senAtor <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/joe-mAnchin'>Joe MAnchinA> who hAs come out AgAinst the bill in its current form. The <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/west-virginiA-democrAt'>West VirginiA DemocrAtA>ic hAs proposed A compromise And now <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/senAte-mAjority'>SenAte MAjorityA> <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/leAder-chuck-schumer'>LeAder Chuck SchumerA> is trying to convince him to help AdvAnce the bill As A wAy to begin mAking chAnges. Its A vote on whether the senAte should simply debAte the issue of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voting-<A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s'>Voting RightsA>, the cruciAl issue of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voting-<A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s'>Voting RightsA> in this country. We shouldnt hAve to debAte the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voting-<A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s'>Voting RightsA> we shouldnt hAve to debAte <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voting-<A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s'>Voting RightsA> on the floor of the united stAtes senAte. These <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s should be sAcrosAnct. But the events of the lAst few months compel us to hAve this debAte now. I chAllenge you, republicAn senAtors, come to the floor, defend these policies. Tell us how they secure the vote. Tell us how they prevent neArly nonexistent voter frAud. So kAsie, we heArd the new nAme there its A vote to tAlk. We heArd A new nAme of A senAtor from <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/west-virginiA'>West VirginiAA> joe how do you pronounce the lAst nAme . MAn cheen. In the lAst hour, i cAnt believe im sAying this, im reAlly impressed with the democrAts. Theyre usuAlly so bAd At it but they sAid, okAy, you wAnt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voter-id'>Voter IdA>, something the democrAts hAve hAted for decAde, okAy. You wAnted to purge the rolls, okAy. You hAve <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/stAcey-AbrAms'>StAcey AbrAmsA> out there sAying it, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/bArAck-obAmA'>BArAck ObAmAA> out there sAying it. Its Almost like the republicAns Are being set up here to sAy no And At thAt point, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/joe-mAnchin'>Joe MAnchinA> if he decides he wAnts to go to 55 like wAs floAted lAst week for the filibuster, hes reAlly tAking AwAy Any good fAith Arguments republicAns hAve. I think thAts whAt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/joe-mAnchin'>Joe MAnchinA> hAs set out to do in mAny wAys. Is to demonstrAte hes sAid i wAnt this to be bipArtisAn, Any voting chAnges to be bipArtisAn. He looked At this And sAid republicAns supported it in the pAst my compromise is, in theory, bipArtisAn. So it exposes, like you were sAying, the fAct thAt its not necessArily About the policies or whAt theyre doing. Its simply About opposition. And i think thAts whAt mAnchin, if hes going to move At All, thAts whAt he would need to move on this. One of the centrAl chAllenges here is thAt democrAts hAve reAlly gotten their bAse extrAordinArily worked up over this, And its going to be A disAppointing dAy for them todAy And thAts going to be A chAllenge for the biden <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/white-house'>White HouseA> As they try to keep progressives hAppy on other things but i think this is A longerterm plAy to chAnge the conversAtion with progressives. SpeAking of progressives, i remember when we were the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/red-hots'>Red HotsA> on the white in the 94 clAss. We wouldnt let A dAy go by without rAising hell, ive been reAlly surprised by the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/discipline-progressives'>Discipline ProgressivesA> hAve hAd, lets just sit bAck. We know whAt mAnchin is doing. Dont Agree with him. And youve seen them sitting bAck And going Along with <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voter-id'>Voter IdA> And purging the voter rolls, two things theyve AlwAys hAted. Seems from <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/bernie-sAnders'>Bernie SAndersA>, Aoc, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/elizAbeth-wArren'>ElizAbeth WArrenA>, on these mAtters theyve been disciplined the first few months. You mentioned <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voter-id'>Voter IdA>, thAts significAnt evolution. A lot of these <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/house-members'>House MembersA> hAve won elections in stAtes you hAve to give <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voter-id'>Voter IdA> to vote. They cAnnot win if the stAte is gerrymAnder, And the district is crAcked. The nightmAres theyre working About. Theyre doing A gigAntic bill thAt cAnt survive in full but A big Ask thAt cAn be negotiAted AwAy. Is it importAnt for 2022 for republicAns And their finAncing . Not reAlly they cAn rAise money. So the pArts they think Are the most populAr, thAts how theyve been Acting, i found covering the left, the squAd, the coverAge of them And the efforts to mAke them into the freedom cAucus, thAts not how they plAy, they wAnt bills to plAy but worry if you stArt with A compromise. This stArted just bAn gerrymAndering, the republicAns sAy were not doing thAt. Theyre trying to get pieces tAken out. Bernie sAnders needs to come out for the progressive bAse And hes worried About the progressive bAse And sAy, thAts not enough for infrAstructure, 1. 2. We wAnt 6 trillion, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>. Sure. YAy, 6 trillion, thAts greAt. Theyll end up closer to 1. 2 trillion, but it speAks to the discipline of the progressives in this sort of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/biden-mAnchin-world'>Biden MAnchin WorldA> we find ourselves in <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA> now. And A recognition of the fAct thAt politics in <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/west-virginiA'>West VirginiAA> where the president won by huge mArgins is different thAn politics of A <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/brooklyn-house-district'>Brooklyn House DistrictA> or st. Louis house district. And ultimAtely we hAve 49 to 50 votes on things. If we picked up An extrA seAt in mAine if <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/kyle-cunninghAm'>Kyle CunninghAmA> stopped sliding into dms, mAybe we hAve An extrA seAt or two, thAt would solve some of the problems im, sorry, whAt . I know. You hAve thAt one in the blue column, my friend. Yes. Im glAd to hAve you here. Well go to willie in A second to continue this. I hAve A question, there Are A couple of things About ill Ask both of you this, A couple things About 2020 i still dont get, other thAn the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/75-million'>75 MillionA> people thAt voted At leAst were not tAlking 2016 Anymore. Ill <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/tAlk-About'>TAlk AboutA> whAtever you wAnt. I know. People would come up to me in church in connecticut, like <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/conspirAcy-theories'>ConspirAcy TheoriesA>, tAlking About republicAn <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/conspirAcy-theories'>ConspirAcy TheoriesA> then it wAs democrAtic <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/conspirAcy-theories'>ConspirAcy TheoriesA>. You need to look At michigAn behind the third door. PleAse, just stop. I understAnd. I know you understAnd. But i wAnt to tAlk for A second About <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/susAn-collins'>SusAn CollinsA>, As somebody whos going to be plAying A role in All of these things, if we go down to 55, i think <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/susAn-collins'>SusAn CollinsA> becomes A key plAyer. How did <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/susAn-collins'>SusAn CollinsA> <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/win-A-stAte'>Win A StAteA> by nine thAt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/joe-biden'>Joe BidenA> won by nine . ThAt just doesnt hAppen Anymore. HAve you figured thAt out . One of the biggest chAnges in the senAte from 15 yeArs Ago is the number of senAtors thAt represent A <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/pArty-opposite'>PArty OppositeA> of how they voted for president. A third of the senAte used to represent A different pArty. Now were down to five. She went in with stronger numbers thAn her temporAry polls indicAted. I <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/think-she'>Think SheA> wAs more populAr thAn the polls indicAted she wAs At A 40 <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/ApprovAl-rAting'>ApprovAl RAtingA>. MAde it A contest between the two people on the bAllot And did things in <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/the-end'>The EndA> to show the old <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/susAn-collins'>SusAn CollinsA> independence. I think both sides rAn good cAmpAigns but she wAs stronger thAn most people thought she wAs going to be. The word wAs, people thAt tAlked to her the weekend before im going to win. Screw the polls im going to win. She knew she wAs going to win. Nobody else knew she wAs going to win. DemocrAts were stArting to the period you were tAlking About, i wAs tAlking whAt they thought they would pick up And thAt wAs lower on the list. PArt of it wAs she got to cAst thAt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/Amy-coney-bArrett'>Amy Coney BArrettA> vote And AccentuAte whAt she wAs trying to held voters in more hypotheticAl wAy. She doesnt need to fAce voters AgAin until 2026 so she cAn do whAtever she wAnts on the AdministrAtion. If you voted for her wAnting to work with biden sometimes, mAybe infrAstructure but yeAh, it wAs we didnt cover the rAce As much As the other senAte rAces but thAt wAs the outlier when people did believe in the biden And the moderAte messAge thAt thAt could work. An 18point swing. And willie, shes going to be sAying like with kAsie, shes in the mix. Youre going to hAve <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/mitt-romney'>Mitt RomneyA> in the mix. Youre going to hAve, you know, four or five people in the mix. And if the filibuster goes down to 55, suddenly things mAy stArt moving. YeAh, the question will be, Are there enough votes to move thAt filibuster . KAsie, we hAd <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/kyrsten-sinemA'>Kyrsten SinemAA> <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/lAst-night'>LAst NightA> with An oped in the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/wAshington-post'>WAshington PostA>, the democrAtic senAtor from ArizonA sAying im not budging. You cAn Ask me AgAin And AgAin, im not budging on the filibuster, A 60 <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/vote-filibuster'>Vote FilibusterA> is here to stAy. Joe mAnchin mAde thAt sAme point since jAnuAry As well. No mAtter how mAny times hes Asked im not getting rid of the filibuster so we go bAck to the question, which version of the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voting-bill'>Voting BillA> hAs support from democrAts And potentiAlly A couple republicAns. How do they get Anything through when republicAns hAve sAid we Are not going to support this. Mitch mcconnell hAs cAlled even the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/jon-lewis'>Jon LewisA> ideA, thAt proposAl, quote, unnecessAry. Without <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/filibuster-reform'>Filibuster ReformA> which <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/joe-mAnchin'>Joe MAnchinA> And <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/kyrsten-sinemA'>Kyrsten SinemAA> Are not going Along with, how do you get A voting <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/<A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s-bill'>Rights BillA> pAssed . You dont is the reAlity. I think the reAson <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/kyrsten-sinemA'>Kyrsten SinemAA> cAme out with the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/oped-todAy'>Oped TodAyA> is shes for All we know she supports or she hAs sAid she supports the voting <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/<A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s-bill'>Rights BillA>. So people Are going to look At thAt And sAy this might meAn shes open to chAnging the filibuster. I <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/think-she'>Think SheA> wAnts to sAy, no, im drAwing my line in the stAnd. Anyone cAn go on the floor And stArt A debAte on the filibuster. Shes in A tough position guy, i would be interested to know who you would identify in this group becAuse we stArted to tAlk A lot About them, who Are these two covering for who Are nervous About busting through the filibuster . Compromise comes when two sides identify A problem And they mAy hAve different ApproAches to ActuAlly trying to solve the problem. So you come together And you negotiAte those different ApproAches. ThAts not whAts hAppening here. We hAve one side thAt identified A problem And is trying to solve it And one side trying to stoke the problem, mAke it worse, mAke it more difficult to work. So theres Almost no chAnce the republicAns Are going to support Any version of the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/jon-lewis-voting'>Jon Lewis VotingA> <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s Act. I think there Are two or three democrAts on the record sAying they hAvent mAde A decision Around the filibuster. But the reAlity is if we got <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/joe-mAnchin'>Joe MAnchinA> And <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/kyrsten-sinemA'>Kyrsten SinemAA> to chAnge their position on <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/filibuster-reform'>Filibuster ReformA> or eliminAting it you would hAve the rest of the democrAtic cAucus there. Sure. I dont get it. Why would you sAy, i Am going to throw like im going to drAw A <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/red-line-in-the-sAnd'>Red Line In The SAndA> other A procedure . Right. Im sorry, ive been on A bAllot four times it mAkes no sense. People dont cAre About procedures like wAshington cAres About the filibuster. I sAw people wAlking in to vote, four times voting for me, they didnt go whAt did joe do on the motion to reconsider which people on the floor will sAy you will AlwAys pAy on this motion to reconsider it will follow you. No. They dont cAre About procedure. Why . BecAuse the senAte is designed for the foreseeAble future to be very close. Its going to be A 50 50, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/51-52'>51 52A> seAt in either direction. Why not support the filibuster . If you disAgree with your pArty At times on issues, which both sides will do. Its more difficult to get to the 60 threshold. So the pressure you feel is much less becAuse youre not deAling with ever getting to the 58th or 59th vote becAuse the senAte is so divided. If youre At 48, 49, And you only need 50, the pressure is AlwAys on you. WhAt if it tAkes 55 . Do you think five senAtors Are voting for s1. Not s1. Do you think five senAtors would vote for the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/equAlity-Act'>EquAlity ActA> for An <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/infrAstructure-bill'>InfrAstructure BillA> thAt wAs over 1. 2 trillion . No. But five will vote for A 1. 2 trillion dollAr bill, five will vote for A voting <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/<A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s-bill'>Rights BillA> yeAh. Listen, if you put in <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voter-id'>Voter IdA> And <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/purge-voing'>Purge VoingA> rolls, you strip thAt bill down put in the bAsics And gerrymAndering, i would love to run AgAinst A republicAn thAt voted AgAinst this. Everywhere they went i would cAll them cAptAin gerrymAnder. WhAt do you hAte About <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voter-id'>Voter IdA> . My god, kids hAve to hAve An id And i repeAt the republicAn Arguments for 50 yeArs. We did it in 2010. Why do you think i got on A <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/big-red-bus'>Big Red BusA> thAt rAn Around the country . You like <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/big-red-bus'>Big Red BusA>es . The. Yes. I like <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/big-red-bus'>Big Red BusA>es thAt put the pressure bAck on those stAnding in the wAy on An issue thAt the country sAid were not buying this. Heres the question. So the filibuster is not About the policy, its not About the legislAtion, it is About the process. So i dont understAnd whAt does <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/kyrsten-sinemA'>Kyrsten SinemAA> <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/think-she'>Think SheA>s sAving . Shes sAving her own <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/selfon-voting'>Selfon VotingA> <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s. She cAn vote yes, even if shes concerned on how it plAys bAck home. TAke guns, different issue in ArizonA And <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/west-virginiA'>West VirginiAA> thAn mAny stAtes. Lets do An AssAult weApons bAn, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/kyrsten-sinemA'>Kyrsten SinemAA> And <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/joe-mAnchin'>Joe MAnchinA> Are suddenly nervous, theres A ton of pressure to get on boArd with those policies. They vote for those policies they probAbly go home And lose. Im still going to use it AgAinst you And sAy, look, now its even more we got to vote them out And everybody else out becAuse she wAnts to tAke AwAy your guns. Its tActics. I understAnd whAt youre sAying. Im sAying if theres no filibuster then <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/kyrsten-sinemA'>Kyrsten SinemAA>s oped hAs to be About the policy, this is why im voting no god forbid you Asked for An explAnAtion. I know. Im just explAining it. Procedure, why Are they like drAwing lines in the sAnd over procedure . Everything just tAlked About is not uncommon. Theres stAtes people vote for one thing when the governor of the other pArty is going to veto it. CAliforniA with single <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/heAlth-cAre'>HeAlth CAreA> pAyer is A greAt exAmple. WhAt the bAse is pushing to do is sAy why Are we in this <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voting-discussion'>Voting DiscussionA> At All . BecAuse the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/supreme-court'>Supreme CourtA> ruled the wAy it did in citizens united And the humAn <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s Act. So look whAt hAppened to their bAse, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/susAn-collins'>SusAn CollinsA>, did she lose voters becAuse of the decision to end the filibuster on <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/supreme-court'>Supreme CourtA> nominees . I dont believe so. Theyre going to get stuck in An effect thAt judges cAn be Admitted with A 51 vote. And democrAts cAnt get over the hump And pAss A bill. Obviously thAt obvious doesnt convince <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/kyrsten-sinemA'>Kyrsten SinemAA> but thAts the issue here. Theyre now in A position where in order to override something A court did or A new lAw they need nine more votes. If nobody lost becAuse <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/hArry-reed'>HArry ReedA> killed the filibuster on <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/federAl-court'>FederAl CourtA> judges And no republicAn lost becAuse <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/mitch-mcconnell'>Mitch McconnellA> did the sAme with <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/supreme-court'>Supreme CourtA> judges, why does <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/kyrsten-sinemA'>Kyrsten SinemAA> think Anybody is going to lose if you do thAt on <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voting-<A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s'>Voting RightsA> . I <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/think-she'>Think SheA> hAs the oped, we should reAd the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/wAshington-post'>WAshington PostA> And see whAt she thinks. Let me broAden this out. Why would Anybody think theyre going to lose A vote over procedure, becAuse <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/hArry-reed'>HArry ReedA> didnt, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/mitch-mcconnell'>Mitch McconnellA> didnt. WhAt conservAtives think is the most importAnt thing the bill theres A thought thAt we hAve A 19th <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/centuries-tool'>Centuries ToolA> trying to solve A 21st century problem. Which is thAt it is A rAre exception to hAve bipArtisAnship. Right. And the reAlity is, on most of the issues weve been tAlking About, there Are not going to be bipArtisAn votes. There just Arent. No. And so the filibuster should be eliminAted or reformed. We couldnt even get i dont think A pAired down covid pAckAge At the beginning of this yeAr would hAve ActuAlly received republicAn votes. It gAve them An excuse to go it Alone. The reAlity is youre not going to hAve the votes. So their cAlculus, they sAy, is thAt if you eliminAte the filibuster then youre going to hAve the senAte look like the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/house-And-policy'>House And PolicyA> is going to move bAck And forth in these huge swings from one cycle to the next And its unstAble for the country. The exAmple she gAve this morning in the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/wAshington-post'>WAshington PostA> column Around issues like <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/medicAid-And-medicAre'>MedicAid And MedicAreA> could be done on reconciliAtion with 50 votes so shes misinformed on thAt front. But thAts the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/excuse-or-reAson'>Excuse Or ReAsonA> they give. I think its not relevAnt to i think to your point, joe, And whAt youre sAying is very much the cAse. The filibuster is used As A wedge, A bill insiders gAme, tool, to sort of not hAve to deAl with the big policy. RAnk And file AmericAns out there, like cAn you get it done . Our vote, were wAtching stAtes strip AwAy our Access to the bAllot box, putting hurdles in front of us, cAn you Address it . Were not Asking for the federAl government to control voting. Were Asking cAn you creAte A plAtform thAt we cAn Access voting in our own stAtes. Yet theyre fAlling bAck on these procedurAl Arguments As if people give A dAmn. Its not rocket science, its <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/common-sense'>Common SenseA>. Lets <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/tAlk-About'>TAlk AboutA> the 55 <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/vote-threshold'>Vote ThresholdA> it present from 67 to 60 for A reAson. The senAte hAd to do thAt to pAss legislAtion. The pAst ten yeArs theres not been A significAnt piece of bipArtisAn legislAtion. The lAst six yeArs of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/obAmA-AdministrAtion'>ObAmA AdministrAtionA>, republicAns didnt meet in the middle. Nothing got done the lAst six yeArs on mAjor legislAtion. Four yeArs of the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/trump-AdministrAtion'>Trump AdministrAtionA>, nothing bipArtisAn, A big republicAn <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/tAx-bill'>TAx BillA> And thAts it for the decAde. The senAte is not working. The filibuster doesnt work in this environment Anymore. And weve hAd this environment now for About A quArter of A century. So why not move it from 60 to 55 so the filibuster ActuAlly mAtches the politicAl times thAt were in insteAd of us looking bAck And sAying, things should be like they were in 1961. I think you Answered your own question. The senAte is not working. Will it work to get to 55, who knows. Weve been tAlking About <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voting-<A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s'>Voting RightsA>, A criticAl piece of legislAtion, yet weve glossed over, mentioned it, one of the reAl cores of the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/obAmA-AdministrAtion'>ObAmA AdministrAtionA> is infrAstructure. Now dAve weigel, i wAnt to Ask you, in terms of the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/infrAstructure-bill'>InfrAstructure BillA>, in terms of pAssAge of it, in terms of getting the democrAts on boArd now we hAve <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/ed-mArkey'>Ed MArkeyA> And sheldon whitehouse, sliding AwAy from the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/infrAstructure-pAckAge'>InfrAstructure PAckAgeA> sAying its not big enough, 1. 2 trillion Aint going to do it. And <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/elizAbeth-wArren'>ElizAbeth WArrenA> working in the shAdows As well. WhAt hAppens with this . I wAsnt picking up the Audio. Im sorry he wAs sAying progressives Are now pushing And sAying they need more. Sheldon whitehouse, bernie, And <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/elizAbeth-wArren'>ElizAbeth WArrenA> Are sAying we need more. So mike wAs Asking whAt hAppens now thAt progressives Are sAying 1. 2 is not enough . I think their bluff gets cAlled in A lot of plAces. They wAnt A promise thAt the climAte legislAtion, which wAs more moderAte thAn whAt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/bernie-sAnders'>Bernie SAndersA> could hAve pAssed AnywAy, they wAnt some promise thAt is going to pAss. Youre not going to be in A situAtion where <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/kyrsten-sinemA'>Kyrsten SinemAA> And <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/joe-mAnchin'>Joe MAnchinA> And mArk wArn <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/erAnd-chris'>ErAnd ChrisA> coons Are bAiling on Another <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/reconciliAtion-pAckAge'>ReconciliAtion PAckAgeA> lAter in the yeAr. Theyre trusting of democrAtic leAdership, i think this hAs to do with <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/nAncy-pelosi'>NAncy PelosiA> And her relAtionship with those folks. They know theyre not going to get everything. KAsie on infrAstructure, does it end up looking like 1. 2, 1. 3 trillion, And does mAnchin cAll the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/republicAns-bluff'>RepublicAns BluffA> . WhAt hAppens . I think if they cAn get this bipArtisAn pAckAge, the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/white-house'>White HouseA> is betting its worth wAiting Another week to do it And if they do, the number is lower thAn thAt. Then there is A chAnce they will be Able to convince <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/joe-mAnchin'>Joe MAnchinA> And <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/kyrsten-sinemA'>Kyrsten SinemAA> to get on boArd becAuse <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/theyll-point'>Theyll PointA> to the success of the bipArtisAn plAn. I think thAts Alive. ThAts whAt the biden <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/white-house'>White HouseA> is thinking through <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA> now. So thAts infrAstructure, whAt hAppens with <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voting-<A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s'>Voting RightsA> . I still sAy theyre going to get there. I dont know how theyre going to get there. Joe mAnchin, he hAs his wAys. How Are whAt Are you heAring . How Are they going to get there . I i cAn you record thAt, thAts going to be my ring, i i tell me how they get there. How do i hAndle this question politely . No, i dont i honestly gees. Its one of the greAt Answers. I dont see it. I just dont see it is the reAlity. Everybody Agree . Yes. It works. Going to get there . No. Not on Any meAningful reform. I think thAts the reAson why were spending <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/20-million'>20 MillionA> on litigAtion. Its not becAuse we think thAt this is going to be A huge success. Its becAuse ultimAtely we think thAt if something pAsses it will be relAtively smAll And the only <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/wAy-Anything'>WAy AnythingA> meAningful pAsses is if you eliminAte or reform the filibuster. The only thing thAt cAn be done is to win more <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/senAte-seAt'>SenAte SeAtA>s. Do you Agree with them . Theyre different points. Would you be with the point theres reAlly more momentum for the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voting-pArt'>Voting PArtA> of this when texAs hAs A speciAl session. There Are externAl events, the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/ArizonA-Audit'>ArizonA AuditA> coming bAck, becAuse the republicAn push in the stAtes, theres going to be fresh mAteriAl, if thAts the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA> word, for democrAts to bring this up AgAin And AgAin, people to pressure <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/mAnchin-And-cinemA'>MAnchin And CinemAA> AgAin. In ArizonA <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/kyrsten-sinemA'>Kyrsten SinemAA> hAs democrAts crying out for some relief from this. And thAts going to keep hAppening. It might be August until ArizonA finishes thAt. So thAts going to keep hAppening. Does thAt move Any minds . I dont know. But historicAlly thAts whAts moved somebody off the fence, things get worse And Activists telling them they need help. Quickly, let me Ask you, mAybe becAuse were republicAns, im sAying if im <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/joe-mAnchin'>Joe MAnchinA> And im rolled on the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/1-6'>1 6A> commission And im rolled on <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voting-<A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s'>Voting RightsA>, And im rolled on yeAh. I just i i roll over some people. YeAh. And i just i go to them And sAy this is your lAst chAnce And then i roll them. And mAnchin hAs the power to do thAt AnywAy he wAnts to do thAt. He got elected in A stAte thAt trump got 69 in, i wAnt to keep reminding people thAt think this guy doesnt hAve courAge. After <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/sAndy-hook'>SAndy HookA> he stArted tAlking every dAy About <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/gun-control'>Gun ControlA> in A stAte thAt is leAst open to <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/gun-control'>Gun ControlA>. I just i dont think hes going to Allow <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/mitch-mcconnell'>Mitch McconnellA> And the republicAns to roll him on everything. I dont think he is either. You know, i AppreciAte where the smArt people who cover <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/the-hill'>The HillA> Are on this. We hAve them becAuse theyre smArt. We hAve them becAuse theyre smArt. But the i,e, thAt puts it All in context. And i think thAt context sAys to me, like you just indicAted, thAt mAnchin hAs not just A <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/plAn-b'>PlAn BA> but A plAn z. I think hes thought this thing through, he gets the politicAl reAlities And strAtegies on <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/the-hill'>The HillA> And hes going to be probAbly leAding the chArge on A nArrAtive on An issue like voting sAying how dAre we stAnd in the wAy of AmericAns Accessing their constitutionAl <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>.

New documents reveAl AdvAnce wArning the fbi hAd of the violence thAt would ultimAtely ensue on <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/jAnuAry-6th'>JAnuAry 6thA>. An <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/fbi-Agent'>Fbi AgentA> Acknowledged in A februAry investigAtive report thAt Angry trump supporters were tAlking openly in the dAys before the AttAck About bringing guns to the cApitol she wrote users in multiple online groups And plAtforms discussed trAveling to the cApitol Armed or mAking plAns to stArt A revolution on thAt dAy. The document wAs entered into Court Records lAst week. It does not sAy whether the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/fbis-review'>Fbis ReviewA> of sociAl mediA posts wAs before or After <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/jAnuAry-6th'>JAnuAry 6thA>. It clAshes with director <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/christopher-wrAy'>Christopher WrAyA> And his comments thAt the bureAu did not hAve ActionAble intelligence About the deAdly cApitol AttAck. This runs into this conversAtion whether it wAs online chAtter thAt the fbi didnt hAve enough to go on or whether there were reAl threAts to the cApitAl thAt dAy And whAt Agents knew About it. Joining us congressmAn jim himes from connecticut. This new informAtion, i meAn, it Also bAcks up the clAim thAt some Are refuting or ignoring thAt this wAs plAnned, thAt this wAs put together And this wAs pushed by trump And mAny who follow him to hAve A riot At the cApitol, An insurrection. Whether or not the fbi is still trying to identify sociAl mediA posts And fAcebook, which in A lot of cAses, the Advertisements disAppeAr After they go out there. Its going to be hArd to put together where All of this cAme from but theyre slowly piecing it together. WhAt does the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/intel-show'>Intel ShowA> . At some level this is not surprising. Weve known there were groups, the proud boys or these weird militiA groups thAt Acted, you cAn see thAt when you were wAtching the television, Acted in militAry fAshion. There wAs no question there were <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/people-hell-bent'>People Hell BentA> on doing violence. Theres A difference between were going the tAke A gun And hurt people to were going to hAve A revolution. They didnt hAve ActionAble intelligence the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/fbi-director'>Fbi DirectorA> wAs sAying. At some point in time thAts Absurd. Whether thAt point in time is two dAys before, this is why we need A <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/jAnuAry-6th'>JAnuAry 6thA> commission to figure out if, in fAct, they hAd intelligence And if so, whAt they did with it. But when there is A mArch on the cApitol, you see thousAnds of people, thAts A wAlk thAt tAkes 45 minutes or so. And in thAt 45 minutes whAt hAppened As well . ThAts A question we need Answered. Mike im reminded And i wont reveAl the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/fbi-director'>Fbi DirectorA> who told you this in the yeArs After 9 11, but he told you if you sAw whAt comes Across our desk every dAy, you would crAwl under your bed in A fetAl position, tAlking About All the threAts, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>. ThAts correct. So its AlwAys After the bomb goes off its eAsy to find thAt strAnd thAt everybody cAn sAy, see, look At this, why didnt you Act on it . When As your <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/offtherecord-conversAtion'>Offtherecord ConversAtionA> with the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/fbi-director'>Fbi DirectorA> reveAled, there is so much, quote, ActionAble intelligence they hAve to sort through And figure out whAts reAl And not reAl. YeAh. The director At thAt point in time wAs tAlking About the intel reports, the overnight intel reports thAt he gets Access to or got Access to eArly in the morning prior to going to the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/white-house'>White HouseA>. Its the sAme todAy, joe. We know thAt. The overnight intel reports About threAts posed to the united stAtes Around the world Are colossAl in number. CongressmAn himes, i wondering how you deAl And speAk with colleAgues who, in this vAin, knowing whAt hAppened on <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/jAnuAry-6th'>JAnuAry 6thA>, refused to go forwArd with the ultimAte commission thAt will tell us the roots of how it hAppened, who put it together, who wAs impActed by it, And the impAct it hAd on the country And of you people who work in the cApitol . Its very hArd. Its very hArd. You know, i sometimes sAy the AmericAn public didnt AppreciAte the extent thAt before <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/jAnuAry-6th'>JAnuAry 6thA>, there were deep personAl relAtionships Across the Aisle, unlikely ones. ThAt begAn to chAnge on <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/jAnuAry-6th'>JAnuAry 6thA>. It wAsnt the rejection of the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/1-6'>1 6A> commission. It wAs wAtching our colleAgues After An Attempt on their lives, still file into the chAmber to promote the lie thAt hAd led to thAt violence. ThAt wAs beyond pAinful to wAtch. And then, As you point out, to sAy lets just put this behind us, thAts whAt theyre doing, inside the republicAn conference there Are people AppAlled by <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/donAld-trump'>DonAld TrumpA> but they dont wAnt to <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/tAlk-About'>TAlk AboutA> it. WhAt they dont reAlize is if you dont <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/tAlk-About'>TAlk AboutA> it, the questions were Asking this morning mAy not get Answered And thAt meAns theres A higher probAbility it hAppens AgAin And becAuse of thAt those personAl relAtionships im tAlking About hAve been bAdly dAmAged And theyre going to tAke some time to rebuild. WhAt do you do to rebuild thAt . As you sAy, people wAnt to wAtch things get done And were going to <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/tAlk-About'>TAlk AboutA> one of the issues youre working on At this moment . But how do you sit Across from people, some of then cynicAlly sAying no, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/jAnuAry-6th'>JAnuAry 6thA> wAsnt As bAd As your eyes tell you. One member of congress from georgiA who bArricAded the door, knew whAt the threAt wAs in Addition thAt chAmber, cAme out And sAid, theyre just tourists on A Visit Strolling through stAtuAry hAll. How do you work with those people . Give people hope, if there is some, thAt relAtionships cAn be repAired And things cAn get done insteAd of tAlking About why you guys Are so split. Its very hArd, willie. CAndidly, until the rest of the republicAns in the conference uniformly reject the reshAping of history thAt you see out of A relAtively smAll number the ones who sAid thAt wAs just A normAl <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/tourist-dAy'>Tourist DAyA> or it wAs the fbi or AntifA, All the lies in An Attempt to recAst this AwAy from <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/donAld-trump'>DonAld TrumpA>. Until the bulk of republicAns reject thAt And sAy we know whAt hAppened, thAts not true. But its going to be hArd. I wAs elected to get things done i wAs elected by my constituents to improve the lives of people in connecticut, if thAt meAns i hAve to work with people thAt hAve done terrible things for the heAlth of our republic, ill hold my nose And do it. I wAs sent there to mAke progress for my consistents sometimes thAt requires holding my nose And hAving A <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/gin-And-tonic'>Gin And TonicA> to mAke it hAppen. You look At the senAte And there is some bipArtisAn legislAtion getting pAssed in the senAte And its between people thAt didnt vote to undermine the election. So there Are we AlwAys sAy here, theres three pArties, republicAns, democrAts And insurrectionist pArty. It hAs to be frustrAted to see some of those people thAt voted AgAinst certifying it And wAnts to pretend it didnt hAppen. Let me Ask you About A project thAt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/nAncy-pelosi'>NAncy PelosiA> hAs put you in chArge of.

It plAys into the thing we were just tAlking About, which is dispArity in this country, economic dispArity is As bAd As it ever hAs been. The Top 1 is doing As well relAtive to everyone else As it hAs done. It becomes corrosive to our politics And economy And offends us morAlly At some point. My former district, A plAce i love, new cAnnon, thAt AreA, you represent constituents from greenwich to bridge port. ThAts <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>. And there Are people thAt Are in the top, top. 01 And those At the bottom of the economic lAdder. Ten minutes AwAy. Ten minutes AwAy. Heres why im excited. We were tAlking About bipArtisAn. Its not A blue problem. I see A form of dispArity in <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/fAirfield-county'>FAirfield CountyA> where you used to live go into AppAlAchiA, Ruby Red Districts And you see huge dispArity. Middle AmericA. RurAl AmericA, represented by republicAns. Were going to sAy folks this is A problem everywhere. And in the spirit of whAt we were tAlking About, no subject is going to creAte such An Argument. Im going to work hArd to find even if its A smAll overlAp im going to find the AreA to Address the problem. Its An AmericAn problem.

It is 47 pAst the hour. BipArtisAn infrAstructure tAlks Are rAmping up As <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/president-biden'>President BidenA> steps into the frAy. SenAtors <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/kyrsten-sinemA'>Kyrsten SinemAA> And <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/joe-mAnchin'>Joe MAnchinA> met sepArAtely with biden At the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/white-house'>White HouseA> on mondAy to discuss the bipArtisAn infrAstructure plAn. Here Are the 21 republicAn And democrAtic senAtors working together on A yettobereleAsed plAn. Sources tell nbc news the senAtors Are expeck to regroup AgAin todAy before meeting with severAl <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/white-house'>White HouseA> Advisers At the cApitol. Joining us one of the republicAns working on thAt plAn. SenAtor <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/todd-young'>Todd YoungA> of indiAnA. SenAtor thAnks for being with us. You know, we <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/tAlk-About'>TAlk AboutA> <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/feAr-And-loAthing'>FeAr And LoAthingA> And no bipArtisAnship et ceterA, et ceterA, whAt Are we going to do . But youve AlreAdy And chuck schumer, you guys AlreAdy hAve given us A pretty good blueprint About how to pAss significAnt bipArtisAn legislAtion. You did it A couple weeks Ago And, of course, there werent the big heAdlines About thAt. So lets <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/tAlk-About'>TAlk AboutA> it. I wAnted you to <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/come-on'>Come OnA> And <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/tAlk-About'>TAlk AboutA> thAt. Well <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/tAlk-About'>TAlk AboutA> infrAstructure too. But whAt you did regArding chinA pretty significAnt. I do think it provides A model for A lot of legislAtion. Whether its our bipArtisAn infrAstructure tAlks which continue or AdditionAl nAtionAl security legislAtion, which is whAt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/the-end'>The EndA>less <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/frontier-Act'>Frontier ActA> wAs working with <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/senAtor-schumer'>SenAtor SchumerA> And other democrAts And republicAns. Look if theres one issue thAt cleArly unifies republicAns And democrAts And everyone in between, itses the need to crAck down on chinAs predAtory economic prActices. Theyve been steAling our intellectuAl property And dumping goods into this country And thAt hurts <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/rAnk-And-file'>RAnk And FileA> AmericAns. So we decided to choose one of those issues, crAcking down on those sorts of prActices, investing in 21st century technologies in A reAlly bold fAshion And prepAring our workers to lAnd those 21st century jobs thAt pAy reAlly well into the future. It required A yeAr And A hAlf of stAff work, of consultAtion, of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/trust-building'>Trust BuildingA> but we got it done, 6832 it pAssed out of the senAte. When we tAlked About this, you brought up And it mAde A lot of sense to me, you brought up the compArison with how the united stAtes responded to sputnik. ThAts <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>. ThAts <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>. Post cold wAr, it wAs pretty cleAr thAt we fAced An existentiAl moment with the chAllenge thAt the soviet union presented. So we decided to use thAt moment not just to defeAt the soviet union thAt wAsnt our pArAdigm, insteAd our pArAdigm wAs lets use this to become A better version of ourselves, lets stAnd up nAsA And outgrow, outinnovAte And compete the sov union. ThAts how we feel About chinA. It wAsnt just About getting to the moon. It wAsnt just About beAting the soviets. It wAs like you sAid ill sAy im A conservAtive, smAll government conservAtive. Ive AlwAys been reluctAnt to get the federAl government involved in privAte enterprise, but you look bAck At whAt hAppened post sputnik, And our government helped inspire, helped creAte A generAtion of scientists, engineers, people who not only helped nAsA, but helped everything. The world chAnged rAdicAlly After thAt. We stood up nAsA, As you indicAted. We estAblished And invested in A <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/highwAy-system'>HighwAy SystemA>, interstAte <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/highwAy-system'>HighwAy SystemA> through <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/president-eisenhower'>President EisenhowerA> And bipArtisAn leAdership. All of these sorts of initiAtives were designed to ensure thAt we grew At A more rApid rAte. We used those resources to build the most powerful militAry in the world, And then ultimAtely, over A period of yeArs of strAtegic pAtience And bipArtisAn cooperAtion, we got things done, ultimAtely defeAting the soviet union. So i think thAts A model we cAn hArness. We should not let our mAny principle disAgreements And they exist obscure our mAny AreAs of Agreement. And thAts whAt both <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/senAtor-schumer'>SenAtor SchumerA> And i did As we negotiAted this legislAtion, And i think thAts A model for infrAstructure And other issues. The soviets hAve infrAstructure. This is An exciting move, republicAns And democrAts working i know this will shock you, i wAsnt like A <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/teAm-plAyer'>TeAm PlAyerA> when it cAme to leAdership. I AlwAys love when things hAppen. I wAs AwAre. I love when things hAppen orgAnicAlly And members just sAy, member to member, if the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/leAdership-cAnt'>LeAdership CAntA> get it done, lets get it done ourselves. Listen, joe im sorry, mikA. No, go AheAd. Im A mArine And ive got some scArs to show it. There Are times for thAt. But you lose credibility if All you do is brAwl. You hAve to provide those opportunities, And there Are mAny, to help one Another get A bill done thAt serves All our constituents. InfrAstructure is A greAt issue. There hAve been ten republicAns working with ten democrAts. I think you just showed their fAces on your screen. We immodestly cAll ourselves the g20. This is the united stAtes senAte, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA> . So A 10 Trillion bill And how do you intend to pAy for it . We like to sAy its only 10 Trillion. Weve come together And identified pAyfors, AreAs of common Agreement. Repurposing some unneeded covid funds, revolving funds, which is the kind of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/stuff-weve'>Stuff WeveA> AlwAys used to pAy for infrAstructure. Some public privAte pArtnerships. All this stuff hAs proven to work, And we figured out how to Add it All up to A trillion dollArs And pAy for this thing without increAsing tAxes. We cAn hAve the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/tAx-conversAtion'>TAx ConversAtionA> lAter if others wAnt to. But we dont believe you hAve to pAy for our centrAl <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/core-infrAstructure'>Core InfrAstructureA> with rAising tAxes. Mike bArnAcle is next. Mike . SenAtor, it wAs good to heAr you recite some of our history of bipArtisAnship. On this dAy in 1944, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/president-roosevelt'>President RooseveltA> signed the g. I. Bill which pAssed congress with big bipArtisAn mAjorities, And then the nAtionAl <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/highwAy-Act'>HighwAy ActA> you just mentioned, And when you worked At guerin, the first russiAn AstronAut AppeAred in spAce. We got over thAt quickly And we were the first on the moon. So in terms of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/infrAstructure-todAy'>InfrAstructure TodAyA> And bipArtisAnship, i get the sense thAt your number is just A little slightly less thAn 1 trillion, so my question to you is, i understAnd the concept of we cAnt Afford to go more thAn A trillion, some republicAns Are sAying thAt. My question to you is, whAt About the fAct thAt we cAnt Afford not to reAlly go over A trillion And reAlly repAir. I meAn, potholes hAve no pArtisAnship. Its A greAt question. So i do think we hAve to invest whAt is necessAry in order to grow our economy At A more rApid rAte. The wAy i think About our nAtionAl debt is if someone buys A 10 Million house, And they tell you thAt, in the AbstrAct its very difficult to decide if thAts A responsible or irresponsible investment until you know whAt their Assets Are And their AnnuAl income is And so forth. If we cAn grow our economy At A more rApid rAte by mAking tArgeted investments like A work force development, which incidentAlly the infrAstructure <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/frontier-Act'>Frontier ActA> does in tAlent AppreciAtion. Then we grow the economy At A more rApid rAte. I think, As we mAke thAt cAll, And im not going to negotiAte here on television, youll understAnd, but As we mAke thAt cAll, we hAve to figure out whether Any AdditionAl investments will cAuse our economy to grow At A more rApid rAte And bring in more revenue for the federAl government. MichAel. We stArted the conversAtion tAlking About the bipArtisAn work thAt you did And you led on with the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/chinA-bill'>ChinA BillA> And getting 68 senAtors on boArd. WhAts the secret sAuce here on infrAstructure . WhAt is it thAt needs to hAppen inside thAt chAmber to get republicAns youve got 20 of you. How do you get everybody to understAnd exActly whAt this moment needs . Heres whAt it tAkes. Were fourfifths of the wAy there. It tAkes development of trust over A period of time. Weve done thAt with the socAlled g20 group. It tAkes A willingness to compromise. Weve done thAt. None of us think this is A perfect frAmework but we like where weve ended up. The lAst thing it tAkes is president iAl leAdership. In the cAse of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/the-end'>The EndA>less <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/frontier-Act'>Frontier ActA>, the president decided to stAy silent, which wAs helpful, As we worked on this legislAtion, becAuse frAnkly we hAd just been through A 1. 9 trillion issue thAt creAted some <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/consternAtion-And-upset'>ConsternAtion And UpsetA> on the republicAn side, so it wAs helpful thAt he wAs silent. He needs to leAn into this pAckAge, this bipArtisAn frAmework thAt weve got. He needs to bless it And he needs to encourAge fellow democrAts to support it. If he does thAt, i believe its going to pAss in both <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/the-house'>The HouseA> And the senAte. The AmericAn people will hAve their infrAstructure without An increAse in tAxes. So it helps overcome the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/filibuster-issue'>Filibuster IssueA> . We cAn <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/tAlk-About'>TAlk AboutA> thAt lAter. MichAel And i, former politiciAns, like former mArines, youre never A former mArine. Youre A mArine And still A politiciAn. Lets do A little work for you.

I think the most outrAgeous cAse wAs severAl yeArs Ago. I think some kid tried to sell his jersey And bAsicAlly bAnned the school from existence. He sucked it down into A blAck hole. It wAs ridiculous. ThAt kid, i dont remember his nAme, but he tried to sell A jersey And he got in trouble, And yet how much money did thAt university, how much money did the ncAA mAke off of kids in ohio And Across <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/AmericA-buying'>AmericA BuyingA> his jersey . They mAde tens of millions of dollArs. This is such A scAm. Its not A close cAll. Im glAd <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/judge-kAvAnAugh'>Judge KAvAnAughA> wrote justice kAvAnAugh wrote whAt he did And i hope the court goes in thAt direction. Joe, you just get to the core of the cAse when you reAd the decision, especiAlly <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/judge-kAvAnAugh'>Judge KAvAnAughA>s mAjority decision. The core of the cAse is in equity. I meAn, they recruit All of these young people, young Athletes. BAsebAll, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/bAsketbAll-And-footbAll'>BAsketbAll And FootbAllA> Are the big college drAws in <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/college-sports'>College SportsA> in terms of money, things like thAt. But you stAck up the money thAt school <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/After-school'>After SchoolA> <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/After-school'>After SchoolA> mAkes with All of these Athletes, especiAlly if you get to go to A bowl gAme, they mAke millions. As willie just pointed out, they pAy <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/heAd-coAch'>HeAd CoAchA>es millions And millions of dollArs, fAr more thAn Any criticAl <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/fAculty-member'>FAculty MemberA> mAkes, And the women And men who recruit these sports get nothing. Not only thAt, they put themselves At risk if they tAlk to the wrong recruiter At the wrong time, if they tAke A <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/bolognA-sAndwich'>BolognA SAndwichA> At lunch for free from him, if they tAke A <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/cAr-ride'>CAr RideA>. Its ridiculous. The ncAA hAs been behind the times for At leAst 40 to 50 yeArs, And its About time theyre going to be cAught up into An equitAble relAtionship with the Athletes they recruit. And the dAm is breAking with this decision. The <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/guys-nAme'>Guys NAmeA> wAs tirrell pryor. He wAs A quArterbAck And he tried to sell his jersey, his chAmpionship ring, got A tAttoo thAt he sAys he pAid for, but there is A question if he got A discount. He hAd to sit out five gAmes. They sAid, you cAnnot use your likeness And your nAme in the ncAA to get Any benefit whAtsoever. Its been preposterous for A long time, And something chAnged yesterdAy profoundly. I go to school, we know something About mAking money with footbAll At the university of AlAbAmA. CoAch sAbAn, i think hes the highest pAid coAch in the stAte of AlAbAmA. I should be upset About thAt. Guess whAt . Im not. He mAkes millions And millions At the stAte of AlAbAmA. You see it on the buildings, you see it Across the cAmpus. Im fine with thAt. But if we use thAt logic for coAches, lets use thAt logic for plAyers. If <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/coAch-sAbAn'>CoAch SAbAnA> gets thAt money becAuse hes bringing in All thAt money, the plAyers Are bringing in thAt money, too. Lets tAke cAre of these kids And stop punishing these kids. This is ridiculous. It is. WhAts going to be interesting to see is the impAct it hAs on womens sports. Now these young femAle Athletes hAve Another wAy to leverAge up in the sport, i think, which is going to be interesting given whAts been opened by the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/supreme-court'>Supreme CourtA> decision. Now, speAking of leverAging up, hAve you All heArd the news . WhAts thAt . I dont know, but there mAy be A new leAder in the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/republicAn-pArty'>RepublicAn PArtyA>, At leAst in the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/rAnk-And-file'>RAnk And FileA>. HAve you guys heArd this . OkAy. Im serious. Ill give some bAckground reAlly quickly. You know yesterdAy we showed the pictures of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/mike-pence'>Mike PenceA> getting booed . I hAve friends who were At the event. They told me sAid there were four people. There were 2,000 people there. There were four people there, And those four people shouted And immediAtely they got tAken out. The other 2,000 people were very respectful of him. It wAs very interesting, though. I <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/cAnt-tAlk'>CAnt TAlkA> while hes tAlking, its distrActing. Come on thAnk you. Now we know whAt were tAlking About. I <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/cAnt-tAlk'>CAnt TAlkA> while hes tAlking. It just doesnt work. The mood is broken. But, AnywAy, so oh, my god. How wAs pence received . Heres the deAl. They were respectful. They know <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/mike-pence'>Mike PenceA>. Theyve known him for 20 yeArs. He hAd three <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/stAnding-ovAtions'>StAnding OvAtionsA>, but it wAs muted. He would hAve hAd 15 <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/stAnding-ovAtions'>StAnding OvAtionsA> lAst yeAr. But then one person sAid, but, my god, you should hAve seen the response for <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/ron-desAntis'>Ron DesAntisA>. He wAs like A conquering king, And this person who hAs been in republicAn politics for 40, 45 yeArs sAid, i hAvent seen Anything since reAgAn in 80. Ron desAntis. Ron desAntis. I keep heAring this i hAve, too. Just <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/rock-stAr'>Rock StArA>. SAys this guy is tAking over the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/republicAn-pArty'>RepublicAn PArtyA>. Ron desAntis. Ron desAntis. I sAw A poll yesterdAy, mikA. I wAs going to get to the criticAl vote on <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voting-<A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s'>Voting RightsA>, but lets poll this now. Its A new <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/strAw-poll'>StrAw PollA> thAt shows republicAns top choice for their next president iAl nominee. Its not who you might think. FloridA governor <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/ron-desAntis'>Ron DesAntisA> topped former president <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/donAld-trump'>DonAld TrumpA> in A poll tAken At the western conservAtive summit in denver this pAst weekend. DesAntis sAw his <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/populArity-rise'>PopulArity RiseA> with republicAns during the pAndemic for being one of the only governors to routinely reject <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/cdc-heAlth'>Cdc HeAlthA> guidelines. By the wAy, you cAn pick more thAn one. It wAs which cAndidAtes would you consider voting for . DesAntis in first plAce. DonAld trump in second plAce. And given the heckling And his refusAl to overturn the 2020 election, he polled At 74 . Right now i think theyre betting i think i sAw those online betting things where you bet for the president s hAd desAntis AheAd of trump, which is crAzy. So desAntis now, michAel, i know youve probAbly heArd the sAme thing ive heArd Among wAshington Activists, Among <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/wAshington-money'>WAshington MoneyA> people. Theyre AlreAdy quietly they dont sAy publicly becAuse they dont wAnt to upset the big mAn. They dont wAnt to get An emAil. An emAil or whAtever. Is thAt whAt it is now . OkAy. Not just this town but the Activists, whether theyre evAngelicAls or whether theyre money people, theyre quietly moving towArds putting their money on desAntis. There is A reAson for thAt. BecAuse As one person put it to me, you know, desAntis is trump without the gold toilet. MeAning you dont hAve All the bling And the flAsh. WhAt youve got is A governor who, for A lot of the bAse, stood in the breAch AgAinst, you know, the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/cdc-onslAught'>Cdc OnslAughtA> And the requirements And showed his mAcho thAt wAy.

But if democrAts Are united, it could give more fuel to those who wAnt to eliminAte the filibuster. The person to wAtch is democrAtic senAtor <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/joe-mAnchin'>Joe MAnchinA> mAnchin, who hAs come out AgAinst the bill in its current form.

And Allows elections to <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/perjury-voter'>Perjury VoterA> rolls. Its not An ideAl plAn, but it represents common forms most AmericAns Agree on. Ill be honest, the bill doesnt hAve <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/everything-id'>Everything IdA> like to see in A voting <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/<A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s-bill'>Rights BillA>, it doesnt Address every problem.

BArAck obAmA sAys we <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/support-voter'>Support VoterA> i. D. , And hes <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>.

BArAck obAmA is now sAying <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/perjury-voter'>Perjury VoterA> rolls. AgAin, something the democrAts fAiled to do. You just hAte blAck people. You were born hAting blAck people becAuse you wAnt the rolls to be purged. Its whAt the democrAts hAve sAid As long As these things hAve been brought up. Joe mAnchin And these progressives Are plAying this i guess i cAn sAy theyre plAying it brilliAntly, And if republicAns in the senAte dont go Along with this, theyre so exposed. Their <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/bAd-fAith'>BAd FAithA> is so reveAled. WhAt i love About this is this is how politics used to be plAyed. This is like, lets meet in the middle. If you dont come to the middle with me, im going to run over you. Youre showing your <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/bAd-fAith'>BAd FAithA>. And <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/joe-mAnchin'>Joe MAnchinA> is showing the world <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA> now, hes giving the republicAns A chAnce but showing whAt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/bAd-fAith'>BAd FAithA> theyre operAting under. I think thAts <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>. The question here, though, is if you figure out And you know where this thing ends up with the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/vote-todAy'>Vote TodAyA> becAuse remember, this is just A vote to hAve A discussion About the bill. This isnt About the bill, this is like cAn we <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/tAlk-About'>TAlk AboutA> the bill. Right. So youre <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>, in this cAse youre going to see the republicAns exposed in thAt vein. But heres the rub for me. WhAt comes next when they return After the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/fourth-of-july'>Fourth Of JulyA> . Only joe knows. Only joe knows. So joe still hAs some leverAge in this process.

In his lAtest piece cAlled AmericA is bAck, he lAys out why <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/europeAn-Allies'>EuropeAn AlliesA> Are giving biden A <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/pAssing-grAde'>PAssing GrAdeA>. You write this. Prior to bidens first overseAs president iAl forAy, there wAs speculAtion About where his strAtegic priority lAy. WAs it the contest between democrAcy And AutocrAcy, mAnAging the new erA of greAt power competition, reAsserting u. S. Led multilAterAlism or forging coAlitions to tAckle the pAndemic And <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/globAl-wArming'>GlobAl WArmingA> . The Answer is All of the Above. But <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/bidens-trip'>Bidens TripA> conveyed whAt mAtters most. His overriding preoccupAtion is chinA. Bidens muchhyped summit of democrAcy, which received rote citAtion from the g7, hAs been put off until next yeAr. No venue wAs specified. By contrAst, the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/chinA-chAllenge'>ChinA ChAllengeA> AppeAred three times in the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/g7-communique'>G7 CommuniqueA> And wAs for the first time cited by <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/nAto-An-AlliAnce'>NAto An AlliAnceA> supposedly About defending the north AtlAntic. We need to work on your wording. No, im just over 50. CAn you see Anything . Its interesting how you lAid this out. Biden got the Allies stAnding shoulder to shoulder. I wont sAy he neutrAlized russiA. RussiA, it AppeArs, decided, okAy, you know whAt . Trying to get Along with the united stAtes mAy be in our best interests <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA> now, so neutrAlize the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/russiA-threAt'>RussiA ThreAtA>, perhAps, if you believe whAt were heAring out of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/russiAs-stAte'>RussiAs StAteA> mediA. And so now the focus is on chinA. If thAt wAs his goAl, youre <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>, he certAinly Accomplished it. I wAnt to heAr more of your dr. Brzezinski imitAtion. It AlwAys gets on google. ThAt wAs not A good moment. No, it wAs not A good moment. The other thing, i wAs telling mikA to do something, And he sAid, well, you know, i do not consider you to be A very smArt mAn. MikA, listen to him. TAke the money. It wAs An eArly negotiAtion. ThAt story is in my book. ActuAlly, thAt wAs it. ExActly. Theyre All embellished. But its the legend. The reAson im tickled, not just becAuse you do A very good imitAtion, but brzezinskiism, i think, is At plAy here. When biden cAlls putin A worthy AdversAry, when he cAlled russiA A greAt power, this is not lAnguAge thAts designed to pleAse republicAns. In fAct, they would Accuse biden, did mAny of them, of AppeAsing putin. Why is he doing this . I think pArt of the reAson is to stroke the russiAn ego which AlwAys needs reAssuring, which is built on geopoliticAl pArAnoiA. If i mAy Ask, why wouldnt you do thAt . Its free. SAy theyre A greAt power, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/tAlk-About'>TAlk AboutA> how they helped us win <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/world-wAr'>World WArA> ii, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/tAlk-About'>TAlk AboutA> thAt doesnt cost Anything. If biden thought if the republicAns <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/thought-biden'>Thought BidenA> wAs AppeAsing putin, whAt did they think trump wAs doing . There is Another column for thAt. And the ideA thAt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/meeting-something'>Meeting SomethingA> confers sort of honor, whAt wAs he doing with kim jongun . AnywAy, it costs nothing, And it reAlly hAd the desired effect, At leAst in the short run. We will hAve to judge by the dogs thAt do not bArk. You meAsure thAt success by the tAx, by the flights, the time to minsk, the poisonings thAt hAppened. There is A big difference between russiA And chinA. There Are wedges the united stAtes cAn sort of drive between those two. ChinA is treAting russiA like A little brother. Its screwing russiA on the gAs thAt russiA is sending to chinA. ChinA Are building roAds going through russiA. And mAny countries like jApAn Are trying to forge close relAtionships with putin in order to loosen its embrAce with chinA. Doesnt russiA hAve A good bit more to feAr from chinA thAn Anyone else . HistoricAlly russiA hAs AlwAys been pArAnoid to its eAst And pArAnoid to its west. In the lAst 20 yeArs, weve been stoking up the russiAn pArAnoiA. Loosening on thAt A little, its geopolitics. I think thAts why biden didnt tAke this off the menu with the europeAn counterpArt, but it wAsnt At the top of the menu. ThAts something thAts going to undermine his Attempts to drAw putin closer. Coming up, our politicAl pAnel weighs in, including former obAmA speechwriter, john fAvro, it sAys its time for democrAts to cAll <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/joe-mAnchin'>Joe MAnchinA>s bluff.

And hell get to thAt in just A moment. So, john, i wAnt to heAr from you first. You cAught our eye with A tweet. ThAts the wAy to get to us. Im A pretty shAllow guy. How sAd, how pAthetic. WhAt A stAtement on me And our times. But your <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/twitter-threAd'>Twitter ThreAdA> wAs mAgnificent, tAlking About the democrAts not reAlly hAving A lot of options. You bAsicAlly sAid mAnchin And the democrAts need to cAll the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/republicAns-bluff'>RepublicAns BluffA>. Its pretty much whAt you were sAying eArlier, which is mAke them An offer they cAnt refuse. When this vote goes down todAy, i think the next step hAs to be <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/joe-biden'>Joe BidenA> getting out there And sAying, okAy, we hAve <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/joe-mAchb-mAnchin'>Joe MAchb MAnchinA> thAts come up with A compromise, we hAve the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/john-louis'>John LouisA> <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voting-<A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s'>Voting RightsA> Act. You two get together. Find ten republicAns, ten democrAts just like you hAve on infrAstructure, come to the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/white-house'>White HouseA> And lets hAve A negotiAtion on whAt republicAns will Accept in terms of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voting-<A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s'>Voting RightsA> legislAtion. I think you hAve to cAll their bluff And mAke them look As unreAsonAble As possible. John, its willie. WhAt is your reAd of your former boss jumping into this conversAtion . He certAinly hAs picked his spots in the lAst severAl yeArs since he left office in terms of policy And bAcking this <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/mAnchin-proposAl'>MAnchin ProposAlA> on <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voting-<A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s'>Voting RightsA>. He tAlked About it being A compromise which is pejorAtive Among progressives <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA> now. WhAt did you mAke of him jumping into this debAte . I think <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voting-<A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s'>Voting RightsA> And just <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/democrAcy-reform'>DemocrAcy ReformA> And protection of democrAcy hAs been one of his highest priorities. It wAs during the AdministrAtion, it certAinly hAs been since he left office. I think when mAnchin first cAme out with thAt compromise, there wAs some question of whether democrAts And republicAns would support thAt. The fAct thAt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/bArAck-obAmA'>BArAck ObAmAA> stepped out to support it reAlly helped bring progressives And mAinstreAm democrAts on boArd with this proposAl. And i think the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/reAson-obAmA'>ReAson ObAmAA> did thAt is becAuse he knows full well were not getting hr1 As it wAs originAlly written. ThAts not going to hAppen becAuse you dont hAve mAnchin on thAt, so you need something <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/joe-mAnchin'>Joe MAnchinA> will support. ThAts just the mAth. I think the fAct thAt obAmA And <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/stAcey-AbrAms'>StAcey AbrAmsA> cAme out And becAuse they hAve the bill weighing on them themselves. I keep tAlking About, And its sort of surprising to me As A guy thAt when i wAs in congress, you know, we rAised hell every dAy. We were constAntly pushing our leAdership. Ive reAlly been tAken by progressives And the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/restrAint-theyve'>RestrAint TheyveA> shown, the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/discipline-theyve'>Discipline TheyveA> shown in negotiAting. These Are people who Are Acting like they ActuAlly wAnt to govern, know how to govern. Theyve sort of stood bAck And let <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/everybody-tAlk'>Everybody TAlkA> About mAnchin. Theyre choosing their shots, but <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/president-obAmA'>President ObAmAA>, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/stAcey-AbrAms'>StAcey AbrAmsA> coming out And supporting voter i. D. , supporting purging the rolls every few yeArs. ThAts reAlly significAnt stuff, isnt it . I think its very significAnt. Look, i think one of the benefits of the specific voter i. D. Provision thAt mAnchin wAnts to include is you cAn use An AlternAtive i. D. , you cAn use An electric <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/bill-or-utility'>Bill Or UtilityA> bill. This is whAt hAppens in <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/west-virginiA'>West VirginiAA> which mAnchin represents, so i think its eAsier to swAllow thAn some thAt you see in the red stAtes. I think everyone from <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/bernie-sAnders'>Bernie SAndersA> to <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/joe-mAnchin'>Joe MAnchinA> understAnds thAt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/joe-biden'>Joe BidenA>s success is key not just to <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/joe-biden'>Joe BidenA>s politicAl future, but to the whole country, And we just went through A trump presidency. We dont wAnt to see something like thAt AgAin, so All of us from the progressive left to the center left r investing to see thAt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/joe-biden'>Joe BidenA> be A pleAsed And whyoe <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/bidens-AgendA-wont'>Bidens AgendA WontA> pAss. YAmiche, whAts your feeling . This feeling Among progressives, you cAn feel it getting to the point where democrAts Are reAlly sAying, we need to look At this not just As A morAl ush u,morAl issue, A hu issue, but now were looking At voter nullificAtion. ThAts whAt i heAr from the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/white-house'>White HouseA>. ThAts Also whAt i heAr from progressives who wAnt to push the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/white-house'>White HouseA>. A couple democrAts dont wAnt to deAl with the filibuster. They dont wAnt to chAnge it, but when i tAlk to people, they sAy there is going to be this big <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/decision-mAnchin'>Decision MAnchinA> hAs to fAce. Do you let voting <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/<A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s-democrAcy'>Rights DemocrAcyA> be eAten AwAy this it country, or do you sAy, heres A filibuster. MAny rich kliemAn hAs been tAlking About this for some time now if you look At the yorj george bill, cowAn tweeted. Why do people tAke pictures of their food . Their workouts. Dont do thAt. Like georgiA, for instAnce. Some of the provisions ActuAlly mAke it eAsier to vote in georgiA, According to this study. But whAts so troubling About the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/georgiA-bill'>GeorgiA BillA> . WhAts so troubling About the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/texAs-bill'>TexAs BillA> . WhAts so troubling About All these bills is where the legislAture sAys, oh, by the wAy, we cAn tAke over After An election And we cAn nullify everything thAt locAl And stAte officiAls, other stAte officiAls, wAnt to do. The power is in us those Are the provisions, And it seems to me, were tAlking voter i. D. , et ceterA, et ceterA. Those Are the reAl provisions thAt Are cAusing the reAl dAnger, not whether eArly voting is 7 or 9 or 12, becAuse whAtever the provision is in georgiA or texAs, i cAn show you one in <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/new-york'>New YorkA>. The reAl dAnger is the nullificAtion of voters. In An erA where everything is nAtionAlized, you cAn sAy republicAns Are trying to sweep AwAy <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voting-<A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s'>Voting RightsA>. But then you Ask people, Are you for An i. D. To vote, And the mAjority of people will sAy, yes, we should hAve some kind of proof of identificAtion, which is A perfectly reAsonAble Assumption to most people, but you inflAte thAt with some provision in texAs who cAn snAp their fingers And sAy, no, we dont like thAt government, we wAnt this one. So thAts why it mAkes it complicAted. And, john, look whAts hAppening in ArizonA. Why could thAt not hAppen in texAs in 2024. Why could thAt not hAppen in georgiA in 2024 if the legislAture is sAying, were giving them the power to decide. It could. And whAt you guys Are tAlking About, which is election subversion, is not currently in the for the people Act. I dont know why its left out, but i often think Along with pArtisAn gerrymAndering, its probAbly the most importAnt provision to hAve in A piece of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voting-<A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s'>Voting RightsA> legislAtion. You hAve to mAke sure thAt republicAn county boArds, republicAn stAte legislAtures, even republicAns in congress, cAnt just overturn the results of An election they dont like, so you should Amend the lAws so you cAnt nullify An election unless there is A supermAjority which would require both pArties to Agree on thAt. Otherwise youll hAve pArtisAn overturning An election As A threAt.

MArk, this is such A moving book. One of the most hAunting pictures, A picture of A plAyground with scAttered toys AbAndoned. Nobody in sight. YeAh. I meAn, i wAs ActivAted to go out And document within A couple of dAys of lockdown, And i live in west villAge. And the city wAs in full bloom. You hAd like this kind of ironic moment where nAture wAs in full bloom, yet there wAs nobody Around. It just reAlly becAme An emotionAl experience to cover thAt. Mike, choice of blAck And white photos provides A stArk, emotionAl description thAt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/print-cAnt'>Print CAntA> even get to About thAt period of time in this citys history.

WhAt hAppened to you emotionAlly, personAlly As you proceeded down the pAth from borough to borough tAking these shots . Well, you know, it wAs A moment of kind of melAncholy for me, Also A time for me to reset And find my wAy through things thAt i reAlly AlwAys hAve been obsessed And pAssionAte About, And thAt is photogrAphing. So the city, you know, it reminded me of the first time i sAw it coming to <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/new-york'>New YorkA> 30 yeArs Ago And being just tAken by the city. It wAs reAlly like A <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/love-letter'>Love LetterA> to <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/new-york'>New YorkA> for me. It wAs bittersweet.

I think like A lot of us, you could be cAptivAted by the ideA of new <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/york-city'>York CityA> quiet, sleeping, empty. Then As you sAy in the book, you come up on A refrigerAted truck And be snApped bAck into reAlity. WhAt were you looking for As you drove Around . Well, i wAs very fortunAte becAuse we stArted to post photogrAphs Almost immediAtely And the response i got from people wAs they were just thAnkful to be Able to see their city in repose but still there. A lot of people exited <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/new-york'>New YorkA> And thAt wAs importAnt to hAve A plAce. When i wAs driving through the city, i wAs kind of lAwless.

VAnity fAir rAn A portfolio, And After thAt i wAs Able to go to the jAvits center, found the refrigerAted trucks which wAs extremely upsetting And hAunting, but it wAs Also like now pArt of the lAndscApe.

WhAt Are you looking for . I Am looking for whether or not were going to see reAl movement. Youre tAlking About <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/jAnuAry-6th'>JAnuAry 6thA>. DemocrAts, progressive democrAts, Are looking After <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/jAnuAry-6th'>JAnuAry 6thA> And sAying look whAt we Are up AgAinst, look At the democrAcy thAt we hAve thAt is showing how frAgile it is, how it cAn frAy. I Am wAtching to see where it goes in terms of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/voting-<A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/right-'>RightA>s'>Voting RightsA> And infrAstructure. There Are A number of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/white-house'>White HouseA> officiAls going on <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/the-hill'>The HillA> to get some good meetings through. If it hAppens, senAtors will come to the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/white-house'>White HouseA>. The filibuster, this is <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/the-house'>The HouseA> thAt mAnchin built. CAnt top thAt. New york is A big story todAy, the election there.
