be willing to come to the table on a smaller bill. and reform the electoral count act, i m just throwing this out there, make election day a holiday. some of the sort of things that are not up to what activists are looking for on voting rights. but i think you can maybe bring in some mitt romney, types for more tailored voting rights bill. so, republicans are standing in the way of what clyburn wants. and then, you know, manchin and sinema are standing in the way of this. and one thing that has frustrated me. as an outsider. watching the democrats over the last year. is that they seem to have one card to play. which is, pressure manchin and sinema. complain about the fact that manchin and sinema won t and the filibuster. and they keep coming back with the same answers. and so, there is a little bit of the old line about insanity. doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. you know, i think that there are certainly merits to some of
buy your christmas trees now before thanksgiving because otherwise the shelves will be bare and there will be lots of out of stocks. reporter: retailers who ordered back in june may be ready for the holidays, but many won t. with the supply chain expected to remain bottlenecked well into 2022. tom costello, nbc news, los angeles. coming up, the announcement at the baggage claim area that just didn t seem legit. part of a story we ll show you when we come back. back.
to the economy. will the democrats get the votes to change the filibuster rules? that s the question. so could you get 50 to say we are going to do a carveout for the debt ceiling? do a carveout to protect the dm and pass the voting rights legislation. that s the thing if you open the door. i think they ll do it as part of the reconciliation package. listen. at the end of the day what this shows is to swing when you re at bat. you mentioned the yankees/red sox game. they have a majority. no guarantee to have that after the next election. or any time soon so all these issues that are so important to people you need to get done. manchin and sinema won t get rid of the filibuster but if you carve it out how can you not do it on voting rights to protect our democracy? i want to play for you a bit of what mitch mcconnell had to
