the president now saying he would be open to altering the filibuster rules in the senate in order to pass voting rights legislation. he even added that maybe they even go further. listen. well, that remains to be seen, exactly what that means in terms of fundamentally altering it, whether or not we just end the filibuster straight up. when it comes to voting rights, so i m clear, though, you would entertain the notion of doing away with the filibuster on that one issue? is that correct? and maybe more. yet biden made clear he dint have the votes to change it now and even trying could threaten negotiations over the massive spending bill. let s start there with democratic congresswoman from texas veronica escobar. thanks for being here. my experience is most house members which don t face restrictions of the filibuster in that chamber often have little patience for this senate tradition of the filibuster. what do you think of what joe biden said last night? hi, kate.
and i think now he s clashing with the president s top advisers. and he can t speak for the president. and now the president has publicly publicly said this. and so the question for mattis that i m sure how long can he last. will he stick it out through january? or decide that he can t have any impact anymore. and he s got to leave. does the president have somebody else he wants to ask in maybe lindsey graham who says he dint want the job. if you re abroad and talking about to general mattis you have to think that. for whom does he speak? it is interesting. because the president when he was running he kind of trumpeted his love of generals and trust in generals. letting generals make decisions. listening to the general. all of that doesn t seem to be
let s go back to that point. because he dint want the chaos. it speaks to a larger problem the republicans have, the voters, they don t like this chaos, the feeling of instability, so when we see a wave election, even in pennsylvania for example, where it was gerrymandered to be for a republican and have a democrat win, that is telling us the american people, regardless of party, they don t like the instability. ruth, don mcgahn wants out, big surprise. the notion in this leak about him wanting to resign, the idea he s going to wait until the proper replacement is found, it s hard bring in the victim. first of all they re not lining up for this job and it s hard for me to believe that he would actually feel the need to wait that long if it takes that long. well, it i m having a hard time actually generating a lot of sympathy for don mcgahn.
that s another one of his tells. rush limbaugh didn t talk about all of the things that we just talked about in the introduction and rush limbaugh has been married i think a little bit more often than donald trump so he s not going to go into these stories about the women that have been getting bigger and bigger all week, but there s a weight, a publically observable weight to being a trump cheerleader and today you could see that weight was very heavy for rush limbaugh it was hard to carry the weight of being a trump supporter. again this idea to reverse and go back in time is saying let s go back to that point. because he dint want the chaos. it speaks to a larger problem the republicans have, the voters, they don t like this chaos, the feeling of instability, so when we see a wave election, even in
affirmatively that he was imagine if he didn t know? if he did not know? if the president wasn t told about the emails which is almost inconceivab inconceivable. why would the president know about his son s emails? i don t know that how could he are he lease a statement they re sitting on the plane doing the statement without knowing? right. this is what has to come out in the investigation obviously, we re speculating but i think the president based on his sil teams to be on a need o know basis. he dint kn doesn t know the ni gritty. if i m your lawyer, hold up a second, alisyn, the emails which kushner s lawyers found, that was starting his universe of discussion. i can t tell if on air force one there was a legal mind weighing in on this. according to jay sekulow don jr. s lawyers are up aover it. he s the liable narrator at this point about that.
