Other secret moves up their sleeve for this session and she kind of said yes. We do. But im not gonna tell you. And so i think now we know with that move turned out to be. Its one of those days where youre looking at the headline that you think, oh yeah, there it is. Thats what she meant. Yes. Yeah, we were so close. We were so close. Im rachel, thank you very much for getting david to come on your program tonight. I was watching that News/hearing-today'>Hearing Today that went on forever and i so admire the way he handled himself. The News/way-judge-parker'>Way Judge Parker modeled sanity won surrounded by insanity. It was just a remarkable thing to watch. Every once in a while. I mean the courts dont always work this way but every once in a while, the courts, by imposing News/rationality-and-fact'>Rationality And Fact based discourse, can bring up they can put gravity back into work into what is otherwise a totally in sane maelstrom. And all of this is been an insane maelstrom from the beginning. When you force it through a fact based filter like you must in a court of law, it really does sort of feel like accountability. It feels like you can regain your sense of which direction the horizon goes. And that News/hearing-today'>Hearing Today was one of those moments for me. Having covered all this News/election-nonsense'>Election Nonsense every step of the way. Today it was like a grounding moment. Yes, it really was. And News/judge-parker'>Judge Parker has this huge advantage that no one anchoring shows like this has, which is when someone like linwood wants to go on in an ever crazier way, the judge can simply tell him to stop talking. And she has to say more than once, but it did work. Yes, seriously. And spare a News/thought-tonight'>Thought Tonight for the News/court-reporter'>Court Reporter who has to deal with not only the six News/hour-hearing'>Hour Hearing but a six News/hour-hearing'>Hour Hearing with nine effectively defendants. And all the attorneys representing those defendants and the defendants are themselves lawyers. Plus theres the judge News/riding-herd'>Riding Herd over all of them and they were all on zoom. It wasnt like they were all in the same room. So you could piece them together from their voices coming from different places. The News/court-reporter'>Court Reporter in this case has been asked to do a plea heroic work. And when we finally get the transcript of that hearing, its probably gonna cost News/1-million'>1 Million bucks. And that moment with the News/court-reporter'>Court Reporter spoke saying listen, you can be interrupting Each Other because im just gonna get a bunch of dashes here. Ive never seen him all like that with the News/court-reporter'>Court Reporter but she did heroic work today, thats for sure. You have to push a News/court-reporter'>Court Reporter really hard before they get to that point. Yes. Thank you rachel. Thanks lawrence. Well, News/texas-house'>Texas House democrats are, in the words of the great, News/on-the-road'>On The Road again. After blocking the republican News/voting-bill'>Voting Bill on a News/staging-a-walkout-in-may'>Staging A Walkout In May today. At least 53 democratic, members of the News/house-of-representatives'>House Of Representatives love the News/state-capital'>State Capital to deny republicans the quorum needed to move ahead with a vote on their voting News/restrictions-bill'>Restrictions Bill that couldve happened as early as tomorrow, according to News/nbc-News'>Nbc News. 51 members traveled on to charter flights will at least 700 others flew separately. Julie johnson tweeted this photo from one of those planes, with our first News/guest-tonight-state'>Guest Tonight State News/representative-gina-hinojosa'>Representative Gina Hinojosa. Last week on this program, News/representative-gina-hinojosa'>Representative Gina Hinojosa gave us a tiny hint of what was to come. Representative, do the democrats, do you have a strategy going into this or might you have secret strategies you get at least acknowledge but not share with us . Well, right. So our strategies for Gamesmanship Purposes Cannot be broadcast on television but yes we are committed to fighting this and using every News/tool-box'>Tool Box that we have to make it so that we protect News/voting-rights'>Voting Rights and not make it harder for texans to vote. And now we know. Two hours ago, the Texas Democrats landed in washington and News/nbc-News'>Nbc News reports that the unusual move, quote, will paralyze the chamber and stopping business until the lawmakers return. Or the session ends. The lawmakers try to spend more than three weeks in washington running the clock on the session which we can thursday. And advocating for federal voting legislation. Texas democrats released this giant News/statement-today'>Statement Today explaining the decision to leave, saying that today they stand united in our decision to break quorum and refused to let the republican legislature through dangerous legislation that would trample on News/texans-freedom'>Texans Freedom to vote. We are not taking the fight coronations capital. We are living on borrowed time in texas. We need congress to act now, to past for the people act, and the News/john-lewis-voting'>John Lewis Voting rights act to protect texans and all americans from the trump republicans nationwide war on democracy. Here is what texas News/state-representative-jasmine'>State Representative Jasmine crockett told News/nbc-News'>Nbc News on her way to the airport. That Texas Democrats decided enough was enough, you know . We came back in good faith once again trying to always feed the bigger people and We Saw those hearings. Utah had been there all day. We saw those hearings and We Saw people come from all over the state and i almost notice for the purpose of trying to educate the committees on their experiences voting and the state. South africa, they made as well have stayed home because no one was listening to them. A News/surprise-move'>Surprise Move followed by a marathon of public hearings in this house of the senate over the weekend. The texas with hundreds of waste waiting hours to be testified against the News/voting-restrictions'>Voting Restrictions so that overnight and early morning hours, the hearing in one house nearly lasted over 24 hours. Texas has a long and and racist history of News/voter-suppression'>Voter Suppression that continues to silence 90 votes and voices of every day concerns. It was nothing about an attack on the News/voting-rights'>Voting Rights in the interest of preserving intellectual integrity. But the voices that showed up to vote and record numbers last fall, how many eligible voters can you squeeze out of our democratic process and be okay with it . I believe the answer should be zero. Former News/texas-congressman-beto'>Texas Congressman Beto orourke testified at the hearing on saturday. An News/elections-bill'>Elections Bill that is premised on a like, that it there is widespread fraud even though there is not a solution in search or problem. Its gonna disproportionately hurt and harm some texans more than others. For those who support directly above the democrats in the room, i encourage you to fight with all you have. Do whatever it takes to ensure that we preserve the right foot in the state of texas. Texas democrats risk being arrested by fleeing the state as News/nbc-News'>Nbc News details. Quote, absolute lawmakers can be legally compelled to return to the capital, and the source said that democrats said that State Republicans want to ask the Department Of Public Safety to track them down. Texas News/house-speaker'>House Speaker issued a Statement Saying, News/texas-house'>Texas House use every available resource under the News/texas-constitution'>Texas Constitution and the unanimously passed House Rules to secure a quorum to meaningfully debate and consider election integrity. The News/texas-tribune'>Texas Tribune reports, quote, even if democratic lawmakers stay for the next two weeks, the governor could continue to call 30 days sessions or add News/voting-restrictions'>Voting Restrictions to the agenda. When the legislature takes on the redrawing of the states political maps later in this summer. During a discussion of voting News/rights-today'>Rights Today in michigan, News/vice-president'>Vice President News/kamala-harris'>Kamala Harris said this about the topic Texas Democrats who have left the state. I applaud them standing for the rights of all americans. And all texans to express their voice through their vote. Unencumbered. They are leaders who are marching in the path that so many others for dead. They fought and many died. All right to vote. I do believe that fighting for the right to vote is as american as apple pie. It is so fundamental to fighting for the principles of our democracy. So i applaud them. Leading off our News/discussion-tonight'>Discussion Tonight is texas News/state-representative-gina'>State Representative Gina hinojosa, she was part of the delegation that flew to washington today. She is joining us from an undisclosed location of a moving bus somewhere in the washington d. C. Area. Representative, thank you very much for joining us tonight. And you have now made last weeks hit on this program into todays breaking News. What happens next . Well, now we go to the u. S. Capitol and we earn in the senate and you earn past federal voting News/rights-legislation'>Rights Legislation. Its all of their power to protect their and preserve News/voting-rights'>Voting Rights and our democracy. Now can the speaker of the News/texas-house'>Texas House send News/texas-law-enforcement'>Texas Law Enforcement to washington to track you down and bring you back . Well, its my understanding that you cannot have authority in washington to do that. And so we are here in a safe place to do the work, advocating for constituents. Advocating for texans, all texans. And you preserving rights and so this is a 14 trip. Tatiana had been a bit awkward and safe from arrest sides. Its the worst thing for us to be talks to who while lawmakers have the capitol every day about how there is urgent needs. You have federal voting News/rights-legislation'>Rights Legislation now. She can only hold the line for other as the News/majority-power'>Majority Power we can use our power now. Nbc News is reporting that your delegation considered going to News/west-virginia'>West Virginia and to arizona because News/senator-joe-manchin'>Senator Joe Manchin and News/senator-kyrsten-sinema'>Senator Kyrsten Sinema opposed abolishing the filibuster. But your group of fear in that states with republican governors would help return you to texas. Do you feel that you will still make attempts in washington to News/contact-senator-manchin'>Contact Senator Manchin and News/senator-sinema'>Senator Sinema . There was a delegation of House Members who came to washington a few weeks ago after the first time we broke quorum to meet with News/senator-manchin'>Senator Manchin. I myself went to News/west-virginia'>West Virginia. About two weeks ago, to participate in the News/voting-rights'>Voting Rights rally, where the News/freedom-ride-landing'>Freedom Ride Landing in News/west-virginia'>West Virginia and heard from these constituents that they had hope and they were working with their senate and encouraging them to do his part so that News/west-virginia'>West Virginia could be as human News/passing-voting'>Passing Voting News/rights-legislation'>Rights Legislation. Of course im talking about the for the people act. The News/john-lewis-voting'>John Lewis Voting rights. As you know, in 1965 there was a texas president , News/lyndon-johnson'>Lyndon Johnson and he was a champion and ultimately succeeded and having i passed. And here we are, 50 plus years later fighting for the same rights and again but to washington for help. Texas has now become a leader in this fight because our voters are being targeted. The News/west-virginia'>West Virginia also stepped up and lead in this federal fight with voting News/rights-legislation'>Rights Legislation. We might be losing your signal, i guess its okay. One more question. The News/texas-governor-greg'>Texas Governor Greg abbott issued a News/statement-today'>Statement Today saying as they fly across the country on cushy private planes, they leave undone issues that can help their districts and our state. What is your response to the governor . Well, i think thats just not sense. We travel the way you travel across the country and there is a bunch of us. So we needed a plane that couldnt dumb comedy all of us. We had two planes that accommodated all of us. And so we left our families behind, we lost our jobs. And youll get paid professional salaries to do our job. You get paid about 7,000 a year so most of us have to go back to paying jobs. Weve been away from these families for six months. So this is a big sacrifice on our part. I have a friend whos supposed to be getting married on thursday. She will not be getting married so she can speak. So we have sacrificed in the fight for that democracy. But fight for News/voting-rights'>Voting Rights. We are willing to make the sacrifice and we need to watch the setback. Texas News/state-representative-gina'>State Representative Gina hinojosa, thank you very much for joining us. Thank you for that hint last week and we really appreciate. Thank you. Pleasure, thanks for having me. Thank you. And joining our discussion now is senator amy klobuchar. She is oversight over federal elections. Amy klobuchar, thanks so much for joining us klobuchar. It looks like that bus might be coming your way and i saw that some of these people want to talk to it about you. What did you have to tell them as they arrive in washington . Well, i have met with representatives when she was here last time and i believe that theyre doing whats right. They are trying to stand up for whatever way possible for the freedom of people to vote and theyre coming to the very place that theyre supposed to find salvation. And i really actually like the trip johnson, along with News/vice-president'>Vice President hunt protect civil rights in the sixties. When you have a conservative effort across the country, but in georgia and in other places, it doesnt stay have passed News/voter-suppression'>Voter Suppressions laws to limit News/peoples-freedom'>Peoples Freedom to vote. And you know the answer should be in washington, where the constitution clearly says that a new congress has the right to make or alter our federal elections. If i dont know it causes greater than doing that right now, this is the moment to get it done. I want to read something that politico is reporting from congressman Jim Clyburn. It says the biden could pick up the phone and tell News/joe-manchin'>Joe Manchin, hey, we should do a carve out. He referred to the News/west-virginia'>West Virginia democrat whos resisted filibuster were torn. Just do it. So there is Jim Clyburn saying to News/joe-biden'>Joe Biden, just do it. You have to get this rule in the senate. Vents at least for voting News/rights-legislation'>Rights Legislation. Well, you know. I would abolish the filibuster and ive come to that decision after seeing obstruction, and so many other important pieces of legislation. Thanks people as you get done to help their families for childcare. To do something about climate change because were seeing News/record-heat'>Record Heat but also about News/voting-rights'>Voting Rights and News/senator-manchin'>Senator Manchin worked in such good faith with me on a number of his versions of the bill. We were very close to getting an agreement and we had all kinds of things registration. So a very strong provision. And i think when you listen to him he talks about the standing filibuster and changes that we could make to reform the bill. And reform the law. So i am still hopeful that we can see change and i can tell you in the meantime, im taking the News/worlds-committee'>Worlds Committee for the first time in almost two decades News/on-the-road'>On The Road and were going to georgia. Another place where News/youve-seen-voters'>Youve Seen Voters suppression efforts and im also looking forward to seeing president bidens speech tomorrow. Joining News/vice-president'>Vice President Harris Who Today was in michigan. This is such an important moment in time and to just act like this is not happening because of an archaic procedural rule and to deny people the right to vote, we cannot do that. Our democracy cannot stand for it. I want to go back to the point you just made on the hearing in georgia. It looks like its gonna have a News/field-hearing'>Field Hearing when you go outside to washington and ive never seen the rules of anyone got side of washington as you just mentioned. If this is the News/field-hearing'>Field Hearing on News/voting-rights'>Voting Rights that youre gonna have in georgia, why that location and what we expect to accomplish . Well as you know lawrence the legislature there has done everything they could to mess around with the News/voting-rights'>Voting Rights and made it so that literally now when you cant give the News/voters-water'>Voters Water and food, News/volunteers-cant'>Volunteers Cant do that. All kinds of limits on their voting that was completely irrational and unnecessary. Basically buying into the News/donald-trump-lie'>Donald Trump Lie that something was wrong with their election when we know that there wasnt anything wrong with their election. They just had a big turnout and two democrats, warnock and all self won that senate race. And then News/joe-biden'>Joe Biden won the president ial race before that. So whats the answer . As Reverent Warnock likes to say on the News/senate-floor'>Senate Floor some, people just dont want some people to vote. And its to limit the number of voters. So that is why we are bringing the News/rules-committee'>Rules Committee. Were gonna have some witnesses. We announced today with the News/state-legislator'>State Legislator for a long time advocating on News/voting-rights'>Voting Rights as well as a voter. And hear from other voters as well over the weekend about what happened to him and their own individual stories. Because when people hear the stories of the long lines, and seniors waiting in lines. Hot. When you hear those stories, you know that theres only one pass to go and that is the path towards the righteous democracy and allowing people to vote. Senate News/rules-committee'>Rules Committee chairwoman amy klobuchar, thank you very much for joining us tonight. Thanks lawrence. Thank you. And coming up, supporters of News/donald-trump'>Donald Trump interrupted a News/town-hall'>Town Hall for families held this weekend by congresswoman News/katie-porter'>Katie Porter.

Porter rushed into the scuffle, wrapping her arms around and under the woman near the scrum. Joining us now is democratic congresswoman News/katie-porter'>Katie Porter of california. Thank you very much for joining us tonight. Really appreciate it. What happened yesterday . Yesterday we tell us in your own words, what happened yesterday. Yesterday we had planned an open air News/town-hall'>Town Hall. We had a lot of space for people to spread out and we advertised it as a family friendly event and there were people who advertised and confronted News/katie-porter'>Katie Porter rally. They attended the event because we were welcome to do, but they began to shout and eventually violence broke out. It was really disappointing and scary, especially for families in seniors who are there. And i think we need to hear from every single elected official regardless of party that this is not democracy. The group was led by a republican whos running against you who is a white supremacist among other things. A nazi sympathizer. And when you saw this happening, and you decided to run towards the chaos, what were you thinking when you ran to protect that woman . Well, there were no police in the immediate area. There were police on the grounds but they were not nearby. And as it began to continue, you began to hear people cry for help. And so i went up to a couple of people with disabilities and using lockers who couldnt move out of the way but i was very afraid that they were gonna get knocked over so i simply put my arm around them and told her to stand there and i was Gonna Stand there with her until the police were able to disperse the situation. Now, after News/january-6th'>January 6th when there were people attacking the capitol looking for democratic members of congress like you to physically attack them, and possibly kill them. We dont know what they were gonna do when they got their. What is it like when you see something like this break out in otherwise peaceable around california . I mean, this is my home. So its incredibly disappointing to have it here. Or find has been the safest city of his size for 15 years running. And we make sure that we had plenty of space for everyone to attend. We took steps to make sure that every single person had equal opportunity to ask a question and put their questions in a bingo both spinner. I made very clear from the beginning, everyone is welcome here. But we need to be civil and listen to Each Other and it was incredibly heartbreaking when that happened. After News/january-6th'>January 6th, its hard to feel safe in washington right now. And now its hard to feel safe intervene. And some of these people attacking your News/event-yesterday'>Event Yesterday may very well be recipients of the News/child-tax-credit'>Child Tax Credit starting this week. And they presumably will have no idea that they have you to thank for that. Well, we were trying to share with all of the audience about the News/child-tax-credit'>Child Tax Credit and thats the real loss here. Everybody lost. Whether you agree with me or disagree with me, you werent able to hear what i was saying. You werent able to get an answer to your questions because you are creating such a disturbance and ultimately there was violence. And so i think even for those who disagreed, they werent even able to find out what is happening and how it might affect them and then be able to make up their mind and thats when they might say that this event was very counter to the purpose of a News/town-hall'>Town Hall. It made it hard for me to hear what constituents had to say over the shouting in the noise. Youre gonna be having News/town-hall'>Town Halls. Presumably doing this again. Theyre going to have a News/reelection-campaign'>Reelection Campaign next year. It was in the same places. Do you expect this to just follow you around . I certainly hope not. Were going to continue to make sure that were doing everything we can to keep anyone who wants to come here me or speak with me safe. Thats regardless of their party. Regardless of their views. Whats particularly upsetting about yesterday was the fact that people on one side supporters and people who were there to confront would all drag into it. Like i said, innocent seniors. Sitting there to listen were nearly hurt. Congresswoman News/katie-porter'>Katie Porter, if you had a minute as you do right now to say the single most important thing you wanted to say at your News/town-hall'>Town Hall yesterday, what would that be . The most important thing i wanted to tell people is that we have to focus on an economic recovery that creates work and also helps workers. So we were talking not just about News/infrastructure-and-job'>Infrastructure And Job creation, but also about helpful workers. Things like broadband and childcare. And that was really the message i was trying to convey and get feedback from my constituents about what kind of support as workers they needed. Congresswoman News/katie-porter'>Katie Porter, thank you very much for joining us again tonight. We always appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you. And coming up, News/michael-wolf'>Michael Wolf will join us with his reporting on whats on all trump was actually doing during the insurrection at the capitol on january six.

Wolf joins us for his first interview about his new book, landslide, the final days of the News/trump-presidency'>Trump Presidency News/michael-wolf'>Michael Wolf writes that on. January 6th, after 1 pm, as the capital was being attacked, quote, white News/house-chief'>House Chief of News/staff-mark'>Staff Mark meadows, News/trump-writer'>Trump Writer News/erics-herschmann'>Erics Herschmann and News/trump-twitter-manager'>Trump Twitter Manager dan pressed to make what was happening on twitter and his attention was out were still focused on the president. The pressure for the president to say something quickly mounted. The president though was digging in his heels, he remained signaling singularly focused on the electoral challenge and had blinders on to everything else. Almost every stage of the panic to response, and embodies push to get him to understand the urgency here, prompted the same reactions from him. Reactions from him joining us now is News/michael-wolf'>Michael Wolff, author of the new book landslide, the final days of the News/trump-presidency'>Trump Presidency. Michael, thank you for joining us tonight. I want to go with kind of your basic question about this book. What did you learn in reporting on this book that you didnt already know about News/donald-trump'>Donald Trump . Then he is even crazier than i thought he was. And i think one of the things i mean, from the beginning of this administration, the beginning of my reporting on this administration, it was clear that News/donald-trump'>Donald Trump is not like you, and hes not like me. Something is off, something is broken. But i think this comes to a head on News/november-3rd'>November 3rd. He has an experience that he cant get his head around, that he has lost this election. And from News/november-3rd'>November 3rd on, through to News/january-6th'>January 6th, through The Genius january 20th, [inaudible] i guess we have a problem with michaels connection. If we can get michael on a telephone, or reestablish that connection, we will get there. There is michael, oh, do you have us . Hello, yes. How is it . So, at any rate. What happens is he creates this new reality for himself. It is a reality that nobody else is a part of. Thats the extraordinary thing that this is still hope all the election, to try to challenge the election and theres only one person in the bubble its News/donald-trump'>Donald Trump and occasionally with rudy giuliani, making it even more alarming and theres nobody else out here. Everybody in his white News/house-and-campaign'>House And Campaign and in his family he saw on the periphery watching this incredible meltdown. In many instances, going out of their way to undermine any efforts that he is making. Donald trump is alone. Donald trump is crazy. We saw part of this show today, actually, and this extraordinary hearing in michigan where a federal judge is now considering sanctions among all the trump lawyers who were involved in the michigan litigation, but would bend them from ever practicing law in michigan again. You have passages in your book about how News/donald-trump'>Donald Trump picks up these kinds of lawyers. You talk about him actually randomly asking people to do you know any good lawyers . I wont quote the book, the passages are extraordinary when you read them, but he is just wonder wondering around asking people about lawyers. Its important to note that he actually has good lawyers. There are good lawyers in the white house, there are good lawyers on the campaign. They refused to have anything to do with this. So he has to go out and find the only lawyers that he can find who will do this which are lawyers who are like rudy giuliani, completely marginal, completely out there, opportunists at a degree that no longer makes them, and anyones man mind, serious lawyers. This is the gang that couldnt shoot straight, to put it mildly. Former News/president-trump'>President Trump is now under criminal investigation by a Criminal Grand Jury in News/fulton-county-jury'>Fulton County Jury georgia for the News/phone-call'>Phone Call he made to the News/georgia-secretary'>Georgia Secretary of state, as a News/phone-call'>Phone Call weve all heard these tape of. You have a forwarding that he made more News/phone-call'>Phone Calls in that, including going around the News/attorney-general'>Attorney General and making News/phone-call'>Phone Calls directly to u. S. Attorneys around the country. Is there any possibility we might never be Hearing Tapes of those . There is always possibility. Anyone who speaks to News/donald-trump'>Donald Trumps should certainly be switching on their phone, their iphone, to tape what is going on here. I think everybody knows that lesson. The other thing, and why this becomes somewhat of a difficult thing to prosecute, ayes that, News/donald-trump'>Donald Trump is always on the phone. Donald trump is always talking. Donald trump is only half aware of what hes saying. It just spews out. There is no rhyme no reason to it. The georgia News/phone-call'>Phone Call, it lasted, i cant remember, it certainly lasted for close to one hour of him just repeating, repetition upon repetition, him going out of the lines and boundaries of any logic. Boundariesthere are certain News/peoe-call'>Peoe Call who were relatively astute politicians, mark meadows, for one thing, its highly conservative and whatever you think of him, you may politically disagree with him but, he is certainly a professional, a political professional. What was he doing on this call . All these people are so used to News/donald-trump'>Donald Trump just spewing meaningless, semi deranged things that no one really takes this case seriously. I think thats what will be the result here, and why it is so hard to prosecute, its just the rantings of a crazy man. Michael wolff the new volume in the trumps presidency, his book is called landslide, the final days of the News/trump-presidency'>Trump Presidency.

Joining us now News/eugene-robinson'>Eugene Robinson, hes an msnbc political analyst. Also steven t. Dennis. Jeanne, the News/budget-lead'>Budget Lead with News/bernie-sanders'>Bernie Sanders must met with schumer, and they say they are close to an agreement within the committee about how to pass this democrats only version. He asked, it was a long meeting. Bernie sanders went into this talking about a six trillion dollar package, and in recent days, everybodys been talking about a 3. 5 trillion dollar package, a truly here, a trillion there, then you are talking about real money. Then there is a question of how its going to be paid for, and there will be dynamic scoring which we dont have to get into. Its basically the assumption that it will make money for the economy. I think democrats see this as their Big Shot to actually do something on climate, in addition to the Human Infrastructure that they are talking about. And so, i think theyre still gonna try to go for what is really quite a big number and assume, and think, that they are going to have all 50 democrats On Board for this. Steven, the News/budget-committee'>Budget Committee has News/bernie-sanders'>Bernie Sanders representing one edge of the democratic partys argument, you have News/senator-mark-warner'>Senator Mark Warner and probably representing the other edge of it. For those two to come to an agreement, it would be a similar kind of agreement that News/bernie-sanders'>Bernie Sanders would come to with News/joe-manchin'>Joe Manchin, wouldnt it . I think not quite. Whats you are going to see i think is News/mark-warner'>Mark Warner bringing this package probably and several future lenient that News/bernie-sanders'>Bernie Sanders might want. Then he could go be a bridge to News/joe-manchin'>Joe Manchin and tried to bring News/joe-manchin'>Joe Manchin On Board and saying hey, look, its not this big scary thing that you originally heard about. Here are some things we could sell as moderates. They dont yet have marc a deal, they are talking about hammering out something tomorrow night. They really want to have something ready to give to the Budget Crunchers of the staff, on thursday, so they can have the weekend to really righted and be ready to go as soon as next week with the committee. With News/joe-manchin'>Joe Manchin here, he is sort of still his own planted. The senate, ever senators their own planted. Joe manchin is almost his own galaxy right now. When you talk about something like climate change, to get this gun board, this is a guy who before he ran for senate, when he ran the first time around, he took a copy of the Campaign Trade Climate bill, the biggest in history, and he shot it with a gun. That sent a signal to people that they could trust him to take over their interests. To get him On Board, you are gonna have to do some things in there, that make him and make News/west-virginia'>West Virginia feel like they are getting something out of this. They lost a lot of jobs anyway on other things. When you are talking about trillions of dollars in spending and trillions of tax changes you can not do a lot there for News/joe-manchin'>Joe Manchin and News/west-virginia'>West Virginia. Thats an opportunity to mention the democrats, they really dont want to mention the mess this up. They can do something, but right now its where negotiations are starting to hit the road. The next month will determine whether News/joe-biden'>Joe Bidens presidency is big, and bold, or whether its going to be sort of one truly in here, not the Radical Change in american government.
