Case legally as of tomorrow night. Thats gonna be a very, very important stage of this. And that question of what comes after this, as you were addressing with your guests earlier, is where there will be a lot of focus tomorrow night. The question is what clues will we have in those indictments . Will there be clues that are experts can point to something else in the future. And how serious the jeopardy is for the Trump Organization. The prospect that the president s business might face a very serious charges. That those charges might be enough to effectively, or directly, drive the company out of business. I mean, that is an existential challenging prospect for the former president. That of course happens well potential superseding indictments are looming, in this case as you are just describing. Theres also an ongoing criminal investigation of which he is the center, in georgia. I mean, this, tomorrow is a sort of Day One of a whole new saga in his life. That i think is going to make him a very unpredictable figure. And i think is going to be something that we all the need to open the open minded about in terms of how its gonna change the news on a daytoday basis. Defended trump really officially begins tomorrow. Itll be the Company Trump that becomes a criminal defendant. But thats what you get when you name the company after yourself. So, the question becomes, and the other uses of the Word Trump in future indictments. That will be the Big Question tomorrow. Not exactly. Thanks, lawrence. Thank you, rachel. Hank you, rachel based on the kind of Businessman Donald Trump appeared to be, always appear to be, described by Marco Rubio when he was running against Donald Trump as a con man. Based on that Con Man A character that he so clearly seem to be, i believe that Donald Trumps businesses and financial affairs could not survive the kind of scrutiny that president Ial Campaign would attract. So, based on no inside information, based solely on how Thoroughly Sleazily Human BeingDonald Trump has always appeared to be i thought he would never run for president. Because this would happen. And what will happen as a result of him launching a president Ial Campaign is now happening. Nbc news reports the Manhattan DistrictAttorneys Office and the new York AttorneyGenerals Office together have obtained indictments against the Trump Organization and it cfo, allan weisselberg. Two people familiar with the matter tell Nbc News the charges are expected to be unsealed in Court Tomorrow in manhattan. One from representative told Nbc News earlier today that the charges will be unsealed around 2 pm. As Nbc News reported last week, the Charges Center around a scheme to pay compensation to weisselberg and possibly others, off the books by the Trump Organization. The Washington Post reports, weisselberg is expected to surrender Thursday Morning, at the office of Manhattan District attorney Cyrus Vance junior. Two people familiar with the plan says hes expected to be arraigned later in the day, in front of a state court judge. The Trump Organization will also be arraigned, represented in court by one of its attorneys. This would not be happening if Donald Trump did not bring new scrutiny to his businesses by running for president. This is not a political prosecution. This is the kind of attention you get when you run for president. As certainly the attention you get when you become president. This is the attention i was thought that Donald Trumps financial affairs could not possibly endure. Today, the Brookings Institution released a report from four recognize legal experts in white collar crime, including a former Republican Justice department official, which concludes that quote, trump is at risk of eventual indictment even if he is not named in the initial filing. The authors wrote a 54page Analysis of the implacable new York State law that Donald Trump may have violated. The lawyers right, we conclude, based on the publicly available information that trump is at serious risk of eventual criminal indictment in new York State. The report identifies five areas in which Donald Trump could be charged. One, allegations of falsifying business records. To, alleged Tax Fraud. Three, alleged insurance fraud. Floor, Skier Scheme to defraud banks. And five, Enterprise Fraud allegations. In an apparent attempt to distract attention from the criminal charges. Donald trump went to the southern Border Today. It did not work. Your response to the charges . Can you respond to the charges . Today, the lawyer for Ellen Weisselberg former dark to lure in law, jennifer watson, Work TotalBusiness Insider she is ready to testify against Allen Weisselberg at trial. We are very gratified to hear the reporting that the Das Office is considering bring criminal charges. We have been working with them and other investigators since late last year and have provided investigators with a mountain of evidence about not only fringe benefits, but other potential tax issues. They we will discover and the indictments will reveal tomorrow, what other potential tax issues could be involved. Today, in an interview with msnbc, Jennifer Weisselberg said that she believes there is legal jeopardy for Allen Weisselberg and former Donald Trump personally. Involving things that happened after Donald Trump became president. Who do you think has leverage on him . And what do you think that leverage entails . I think its donald. What is the leverage . Its with the president ial inaugural committee. Can you tell us anything more about that . It seems like it bleeds into the Trump Organization. And there were some things going on after donald was already president , where they were capitalizing on making money for themselves. And it looks like in depositions, that Ellen Weisselberg was involved along with the cfo and the White House to orchestrate that money. And one of the organizations that stole the money, looks like it was the trump org. Do you believe that the former president himself holds any liability here . Absolutely. Absolutely. I believe hell get the indictment. Against him . Yes. Yes. And leading us Off Tonight is adam coffman, former executive assistant District Attorney and former chief of the Investigation Division at the Manhattan DistrictAttorneys Office. He served as a prosecutor there for 18 years. Mr. Coffman, what will you be looking for in these Indictments Tomorrow . Indict i feel like im here ay early, lawrence. Im quite eager to see what the indictments reveal. Sometimes Prosecutors Draft indictments that are a barebones recitation of just the minimal language. So, here you would have in all likelihood, indictments that track the new York StateTax Fraud statue. Simply set forth that there was some type of Tax Fraud. And that there was a certain amount of money that the state was defrauded from. But other times, Prosecutors Draft what we would call a speaking indictment, where they give more information. Where they describe what a fraudulent scheme might have looked like. And it will be interesting in this case to see whether the District Attorney has asked the Grand Jury to a bare bones indictment, or a speaking indictment, that really says to the public while their case is about. When you see that we now have confirmation that Allen Weisselberg will be indicted. Not clear whether he will be the only person indicted tomorrow. What does that tell you about the focus of these indictments . So, theres a few things that come to mind from those facts. The first is, look, its been widely reported that prosecutors have been pressuring mr. Weisselberg to cooperate with the investigation. And thus far he has steadfastly refused to be a cooperative witness. So, it seems one of the things that happens in an investigation like this, youre saying to the witness look, if you dont cooperate youre going to get indicted. And it seems that they reached a point where he wasnt going to cooperate, so the prosecutors are carrying through on their threat to lodge Car Charges against him. The other thing that is really not clear at this point is whether mr. Weisselberg is going to be charged for his role in receiving benefits that were undeclared. Or if he is also going to be charged for his role in possibly setting up those kinds of benefits for others. Where the Trump Organization was engaged in this type of Tax Fraud. Theres nothing so unusual about a Tax Fraud case involving off the books, under the table money. Payroll tax cans are prosecuted all the time. So, mr. Was hillsburgh, in this unusual circumstance of this case, could be prosecuted both as someone who received benefits. But also as someone who set up the benefits and caused others to receive this type of under the Table Benefit Type of income. O in you raise such an important point about Allen Weisselberg being the person who would be arranging these benefits. Both for himself and others. Donald trump, who doesnt leave reckon records of his communication, with someone like Allen Weisselberg, in order to know for a Jury Satisfaction that Donald Trump approve that are directed that, thats where you would have to get weisselbergs testimony saying Donald Trump told me to do this. In the way that Michael Cohen testified in his own case that Donald Trump ordered him to commit those Campaign Finance crimes. Exactly right. You need someone who was in the room that said, Donald Trump ordered this to happen. Donald trump of prove this. It was Donald Trumps decision. Without that evidence, you cant have criminal culpability. I think we also have to remember that, in all likelihood, this is the first stage. The first round of what will be when the Grand Jury sits for the four, four and a half months, its the prosecutors clearly are bringing a first round of charges against the Trump Organization. We dont know if its the Trump Organization at the Parent Level or subsidiary level. Unknown until tomorrow. But theyre bring in this first round of charges. From what ive been hearing, it sounds like this is not The End. This indictment is a first round. And the investigation is continuing. Presumably will be looking at things like bank fraud, insurance fraud, falsification of books and records. Perhaps the Stormy Daniels payment. Theres a lot i think for them still to do. Adam kaufman, thank you very much for your guidance on this tonight. We really appreciate. Thank you, lawrence. Nice to be here. Thank you. Joining us now is democratic Congressman Adam Schiff of california. The sherman of the house intelligence committee. Chairman schiff, as a Foer Prosecutor yourself, you know that we dont know what we need to know until we can read those indictments. We now know that will be reading them sometime after 2 pm tomorrow. What will you be looking for in these indictments . E indictments . Ill be looking for what kind of evidence is indicated in the indictments. How specific they are. But look, i think this is not uncommon at all. It may be a very narrow indictment. It may be just the Opening Salvo in terms of the prosecution. Its not uncommon to start out with a certain base line charge. And then you build a case and go back with a superseding indictment. But particular charges against the ceo full will be significant. What kind of exposure does he have, because that will determine how much incentive he has to cooperate. And for what employees of Trump Organization say, he was a very detailed person, just like Donald Trump. And in order to make a case, if theres going to be a case ultimately made against former president , you are going to need someone who was close to the former president. Had intimate conversations with him, knows where the bodies are buried. Knows how the records are kept, knows where the documentation is. That certainly sounds like mr. Weisselberg. So, ill be particularly interested in the quality of the evidence and the nature of the charges against him. I want to read for you and the Audience Recording from the New York times about this tonight saying over the last few months, Allen Weisselberg has continued to show up at Trump Tower at times coming Face To face with mr. Trump. But now, the Trump Organizations lawyers have taken steps to avoid the appearance of any impropriety. In the past, many of mr. Trump and mr. Weisselbergs conversations were private and behind closed doors. Now, they are under instructions to meet in the presence of a witness. And chairman, that clearly indicates that if they are actually complying with that, that both Donald Trump in and Lynn Weisselberg recognize how much trouble theyre in. Well, it certainly means that Donald Trumps lawyers recognize that he can put himself in further jeopardy by saying things to weisselberg by potentially encouraging him to hide things from authorities or make false statements to authorities that we know for the mueller investigation. Thats not unusual conduct for this former president. And so the president sources are trying to protect him. Allen weisselberg may not be cooperating now. That doesnt mean he wont cooperate in the future. So i think thats whats going on, but the president has ignored the advice of his lawyers in the past and who knows who will follow that advice now. Do you, as a former Prosecutor And Someone whos spent considerable time investigating Donald Trump in the first impeachment investigation, does this feel like an inevitable turn of events for someone who has behaved the way you have seen him behave up close in the presidency . Yes. I mean, this is a grift or from start to finish. He brought his swamp from New York with him to the Oval Office and this is a guy who used his foundation as a personal political fund. Can we be surprised if this organization, The Business and, would not be the subject of indictment . But at the same time, i thought an indictment is likely. I still think its a Steep Hill to climb to indict the former president. The Quality And Quantity of the evidence would have to be very significant. Its relatively easy to make a case against the corporation, but to be able to follow that criminal liability to the very top, you need people inside cooperating. Thats again why weisselberg is so important but everything about Donald Trumps Life And Everything about his every day in office spells corruption. So none of this is surprising. Its just the same kind of grift private practice that heat imported to the White House. Chairman Adam Schiff thank you very much for joining us tonight, i appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you. And coming up, what is the political impact of the Name Trump appearing in criminal Indictments Tomorrow the Trump Company which Donald Trump has always said he hires the best people. Certainly, Maxwell And Jonathan alter will join us next. I feel free to bare my skin yeah, thats all me. Nothing and me go Hand InHand Nothing on my skin, thats my new plan. Nothing is everything.

Four days, there have been indications that today would be the day. The Manhattan District attorney would reveal indictments against Donald Trumps company and his chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg and his Trump Diversion by Creating AnotherNews Story that competes with and he hopes overwhelms the bad News Story about Donald Trump. That is probably why Donald Trump went to the southern Border Today in an event that was carried live by exactly zero News Networks. The fox propaganda channel, which in no real sense is a News Network covered the event for a total of seven minutes. And so, the most desperate for attention former president in history failed in his Missions Today and there will be absolutely no way he can distract attention from what the Manhattan District attorney is going to do tomorrow at 2 pm. Joining us now is zerlina maxwell, host of the Program Zerlina hosted on the program peacock. And Jonathan Alter a msnbc political analyst. And zerlina, i had signed up for peacock just for you and began watching so everyone should be doing that. Zerlina, the master of diversionary tactics in publicity, Donald Trump, seems to have run out of tactics. Hes not president anymore. He Cant Launch any missiles tomorrow. Looks like theres no way he can change the subject now. Well thank god he Cant Launch any missiles, lawrence. I think were all sleeping a little bit better in the post trump era. But in all seriousness, i think, you know tomorrow it feels like the start of the Accountability Chapter and if i were to title this book, i know i wrote The End of white politics, this would be The End of the grift. Everything about Donald Trump from the very beginning of his public persona has been fake. It has been fantasy. And there has not been a lot of real underneath the Reality Star Sort of persona as this businessman going back to the very beginning, and so i think finally were coming around to a place where he can be held accountable. But were only at this place, lawrence, because others have failed to hold him accountable in the past. And so i think it is a lesson for all of us that accountability needs to come a bit sooner because it can become very dangerous if you allow somebody who thinks laws are suggestions, and you give them the nuclear launch codes. Jonathan alter, Donald Trump once again creates history. Weve never seen anything like this in history. A former president involved in indictments like this. Yes, hes breaking a new grounds in this. Whats interesting to me in the last couple of days is what it looks like his defense is going to be. Of course he predictably is attacking the new York Prosecutor as a marxist, radical democrat. Cy Vance Isnt even running for reelection. And so the political motive here, i dont think is going to carry through. And the other thing he said was New York will be devastated, Exclamation Point in his statement a couple of days ago in anticipation of this. You know, as if nobody will ever want to do business in New York again because Donald Trump s company was indicted. That really doesnt make a lot of sense. And i thought the phrase sounded a little familiar. New york will be devastated. And two years ago, various jurisdictions were raising Property Taxes on Golf Courses in new York State and then President Trump issued a statement saying New York will be devastated if taxes go up on Golf Courses and so hes kind of flailing here a little bit in the way hes gonna handle it. Having said that, i think his critics need to keep their expectations in check because the fact that Weisselberg Hasnt flipped yet and he knew it was very likely going to be indicted suggests that it might be pretty hard to flip him. I dont know anything that anyone else knows, but we need to take a real wait and see attitude here and not assume that true accountability has fully begun. Yeah will know it three Clock Tomorrow with the potential penalties Allen Weisselberg is actually facing and that, zerlina, will tell us how much pressure he is feeling. He is old enough that a year would be a very difficult stretch to have to do behind bars for somebody like that. But this is the life and what happens in the life of Donald Trump as Michael Cohen can tell everybody who still works there. Thats the really confusing thing about it so i think theres still a lot we dont know and jonathan is right we should have our expectations on a measured level and then we will see the Details Tomorrow but i think to your point Allen Weisselberg has been there for 50 years and so he knows everything. Its clear that if they had evidence in which they do they would use that to get him to flip but maybe hes like, look, im safe. Donald trump has my back. He hasnt had this whole time. I would just like to introduce him to Michael Cohen and others who have gone to prison protecting Donald Trump and now say that that was a mistake. And so i think Island Weisselberg is Sleeping Okay tonight and its a good thing we dont have to wake up to a tweet. I thought about that today and i was at least relieved about that. Zerlina Maxwell And Jonathan alter. Thank you very much for joining us on our final segment of speculation about what might be in The End items that were going to read tomorrow. Thank you very much for joining us. Thanks, lawrence. Thank you, lawrence. Coming up, congress is on the verge of doing something it has never done before. Passing to Budget Reconciliation bills in the same year. The chairman who has to get that done. The chairman of the House Budget CommitteeJohn Yarmuth will join us next. Us next.

New parodontax active Gum Repair toothpaste. Our next guest has already made history in the House Of Representatives this year. And hes going to make history again. It is a bit of history that he shares with Bernie Sanders. John yarmuth is the chair of the budget house committee. They passed through their committees, the single biggest Bucket Budget Resolution in history. Which became the legislative framework for President Bidens covid relief bill. And now, John Yarmuth and Bernie Sanders are going to do it again. They are going to pass another Budget Resolution, which will be bigger than the first Budget Resolution that they passed this year. And so, to add to the historic nature of the second Budget Resolution, it will be the first time in history that the House And Senate germans of the Budget Committees will have passed more than one Budget Resolution in the same year. Passing a Budget Resolution is the single most complex and difficult thing. Cheer a Budget Committee has to do. After Budget Resolution is passed, other committees of the House And Senate go to work on the specific legislative changes that are only outlined in the Budget Resolution. In normally takes a few months for the committees to finish that work, which they then send directly to the Senate And House floors to be passed together, in what is then called a Budget Reconciliation bill. The Reconciliation Bill, in bookkeeping terms, reconciles the numbers that were outlined in the Budget Resolution with real and specific legislative changes in taxes and spending, that Add Up to the same numbers. Today, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said once again, that she expects the partisan bill to first be passed in the senate the bipartisan bill to first passed in the senate, sent to the house, where she the will then hold it until John Yarmuths Budget Resolution is ready to pass the house. Dget well i said last week, ai retiree now, is that in the House Of Representatives that particular version as it is, is something that we would take up once we see what the Budget Parameters are of the Budget Bill that the senate will pass. The challenge facing Chairman Yarmuth and chairman sanders, is that they have to write a Budget Resolution that will get almost all of the democratic votes in the house. And has to get all of the democratic votes in the senate. And one of those democratic votes in the senate doesnt sound ready yet to give President Biden everything he is asking for in that bill. If they think in reconciliation im going to throw caution into the wind and go to five or six trillion dollars, when we can only afford one or one and a half, or maybe two in what we can pay for, then i cant be there. Joining us now is democratic congressman John Yarmuth of kentucky. Hes the chair of the House Budget Committee. The history making chair of the budget. Committee [laughs] thank you, lawrence. Mister chairman, you have that difficult position in the house. You could write a bill in the house, Budget Resolution in the house, that could easily pass the house. But you know that you have to have something identical to what the senate passes. And you just heard Joe Manchin say what he believes at this stage, hes not willing to do. Hes not willing to go above maybe two trillion dollars. Maybe three trillion dollars. The president wants to go much higher than that. What do you say to Senator Manchin . Well, i say to him that, by the way Senator Manchin, there are 221 of us who are in the same position in the house. And another 49 in the senate who are just like you. Every One Of Us basically has the leverage to kill or succeed in passing a resolution. So, the attention that speak to him, i understand. But every One Of Us is in the same position. And on an everyday basis, getting democrats together is hurting cats, and this is hurting all the cats and making sure that everyone knows we dont have right now, each of us does not have normal, independence that we would have. We have to basically see, there is an ultimate goal, we all support nickel. We have to figure out how to get there. Nancy pelosi alls always says unity is our strength. I say in this case, unity is our only chance. Lets try to take us through the timetable here for the audience, so they know what to expect. Its not going to happen tomorrow. It seems to me, what im hearing from the speaker, is that she expects the senate to pass their bipartisan agreement on infrastructure first. That bill, when it passes the senate, immediately get sent to the house. Speaker pelosi takes that bill, says thank you. Puts it over here. And then waits for the other action to be done on what will probably be the democrats only Reconciliation Version of the bill. It sounds like Chuck Schumer Thing that he expects your Budget Resolutions to be ready to be passed before the august recess. So, by The End of july. Does that sound right to you . Right. Thats what were trying to accomplish, because then the legislation that magically implements, as you describe so well in your intro, the legislation actually accomplish is what were trying to do through really reconciliation would be drafted by the various jurisdiction during the august recess. And then we could take it up in the fall. Yeah, so then you would come back and say september early october and youd have that socalled Reconciliation Bill which would be the final piece of it. Then, eventually gets past. At that point through the senate and the house. And you could, the radically, pass at that point if the speaker is holding the bipartisan senate bill. Theoretically, you could pass them roughly on the same day. We could. But that doesnt matter, i mean obviously the speaker is strategizing that because a lot of people say, well, there is a risk that we would pass the bipartisan bill and then lose some votes on something probably a more expensive but we called the Kara Connery provisions and Job Training and senior care and early childhood education. Some of the climate Change Legislation that is so important to many of our members. Thats the linkage in the reason for the linkage. But its not going to be easy. Ive been with a progressive dogs today, and i met with the blue dogs today. And remember, what were trying to do in the process so that we dont and the Filibuster And Senate votes. And so every one of the 50 votes of that we can only lose four right now and it will be three in the house every vote is critical. Its quite a task that we are facing. I want to talk to you about one very important Infrastructure Project which is the print spends bridge which of course as you know the audience doesnt know, connects your state of kentucky across the Ohio River with ohio. Hugely important bridge. And so, its important for Senator Mcconnell who is working as hard as he can to kill both versions of this Infrastructure Bill. Are we really going to be is kentucky really going to be watching Mitch Mcconnell take credit for improvements and the bridge after he fought against the legislation that got it done . No doubt that for many years will take credit whenever he can but one of the things thats fascinating in the american jobs plan, the president s proposal there is a 25 Billion dollar set aside that is designed to have the ten most critical regional Infrastructure Projects. One of those i think usually ranks about second on the list is the brett spencer bridge. So this is a real opportunity for kentuckians and not just kentuckians and ohioans but everyone in the midwest to do something essential. Because this bridge is probably not very far along than the I40 Bridge that we saw in memphis, tennessee. It is definitely in need of replacement and probably about 2 Million but we can fund it out and set aside the plan which mcconnell adamantly oppose. House budget chair armand, thank you very much for joining us tonight and i know that no president in history has ever asked more of a House Budget Committee chair. Hes lucky to have you there. I know you have the skill to do it but youre gonna need some luck to do it. Thank you very much for joining us, mister chairman. Thanks lawrence. And coming up, how many republicans support passing a democrats only Reconciliation Bill . Its part of Joe Bidens Infrastructure package. Zero Republican Members of Congress Support it but 36 of republican voters support it. The political power of the biden Infrastructure PlanIs Next.

President biden does it yet have every Senate Democrat agreeing to everything he wants in the Infrastructure Bills. But the public agrees with the president according to a new poll. 62 of likely voters support passing the bipartisan senate bill, which is based on the president s american jobs plan. And the democrats only Reconciliation Bill which is based on the president s american families plan. Compared to only 31 person who oppose. That passing both bills has the support of 86 of democrats, 59 of independence, and even 36 of republicans. Joining us now is steven dennis, Senate Reporter for bloomberg News And Jonathan alter is back with us. Steven, those 36 of republicans out there who support both of these Infrastructure Bills do not seem to be very well represented in the united States Senate. No, they dont. I mean, one thing the democrats are really doing differently from 12 years ago is there focusing a lot more on sugar. 12 years ago, the democrats were nearly newly in charge of all three, the house, the senate, the White House, and they were pursuing very controversial things the republicans could easily call. Tax increases on turning on the lights. This time around, the democrats are talking about sugar, theyre talking about Tax Cuts for evs, theyre talking about upgrading the grid. Theyre talking about roads, bridges, things that there are a lot easier to sell. And theyre stating fast on a Biden Pledge of not raising taxes directly on anybody making less than 400,000 a year. So, if you hear that, hey, im going to get roads and bridges and it might get childcare down the line, elder care, a lot of things that pull very well im not surprised that youre seeing some polling like that. Im also not surprise youre seeing republicans dig in. Because they dont want tax increases. Their agenda has been for decades to cut tax rates, not raise them. So, those are their allies. The Business Community etc. Jonathan alter, the more i listen to the president about it, the more it sounds like he believes the road to democratic success in the next congressional campaigns and in the next president Ial Campaign is paved, as they say, with this infrastructure legislation. Legislation. Yeah, he has to put points on the board and this is the most popular way to do it. I think its on track. Im not sanguine about it. But the complexities, you can overcome them. I think we saw with John Yarmuth, that these are very skillful legislative operators. They dont have to deal with republicans on the reconciliation package. And you didnt see republicans headed for the exits on Infrastructure Bill when they got mad about the process. Mad at biden and his press conference. Because they know their constituents want this. And is very, very hard, ultimately to fill again something that people want. Stephen, the democrats are not running out to the microphones to see, heres my line, you Cant Cross this line. Very common in the past in situations like this to have three or four lines being drawn by different people or different factions of democrats in the house. Maybe another two lines being drawn by some democrats in the senate saying, absolutely. I will not vote for it if x. When youre not hearing that rhetoric, thats when, at least for the time being, is going smoothly. I wouldnt call it smooth sailing. I think its going to be an incredibly difficult and complex dance here. Youve got the bipartisan bill that still being written as we speak. The details are still being flushed out. Any minute, Mitch Mcconnell could pull the Roll Rug out. He still has a score he could complain about. Even just that first step is not guaranteed. The Budget Resolution is going to be a bear to get paths. And thats just the easy part, doing the Budget Resolution. Because it wont have all the details in. And then that final Reconciliation Bill, if you think about it, democrats have ten, 12 years of pent up things that Mitch Mcconnell has successfully blocked. And this is their one chance to do things that Mitch Mcconnell cant veto. So, every group out there who has something they want to do, on immigration, on the environment, on climate, on health care, im prek, on all these things this is your one shot. The thing is, nobody really knows right now, including Joe Manchin, how much he is going to let through that keyhole. This could very well extended three or four months before they get that final package written. Ag writ i think thats the import Scheduling Thing we establish with John Yarmuth tonight. This is not happening before the august recess. Jonathan alter, steven deadness, thank you both very much for joining us. Really appreciated. Thank you, lawrence. Well be right back. Reason, or fun.

Democratic Senator Kyrsten Sinema of arizona recently wrote that the filibuster compels moderation and helped protect the country from wild swings between opposing policy polls. That was largely true in the 19 nineties but it has not been true and the 21st century. And Senator Sinema used to know that. She used to know that the senate rules could be used for evil. That was her word. Evil. 11 years ago. In 2010, in the second year of the Obama Presidency when Kyrsten Sinema was a 33 year old member of the State Legislature in arizona, she accurately describe how dysfunctional the united States Senate had become because it was forced to work under what she called this false pressure to get to 60 votes. Well the senate no longer has 60 votes. Someone argued that we never had 60 because one of those was but thats whatever. Yeah, and nelson to. So now, i think as a president so eloquently said Theres None of this pressure, false pressure to get the 60. So what that means is that the democrats can stop counting to Joe Lieberman and instead seek other avenues to move forward will help reform so its likely that the move forward with reconciliation, which takes only 51 votes. And by the way, its not unusual. You may recall that before the democrats took the senate in 2008 that the republicans control the senate for quite some time. In fact, since around 1994. They never had 60 votes and they managed to do a lot of really bad things during that time. So the Reconciliation Process is still quite available and will use it for good rather than for evil.
