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 they're doing what's right. they are trying to stand up for whatever way possible for the freedom of people to vote and they're coming to the very place that they're supposed to find salvation. and i really actually like the trip johnson, along with 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 doesn't stay have passed voter suppression's laws to limit people's 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 don't know it causes greater than doing that right now, this is the moment to get

thank you for coming back to "the sunday show" amy klobuchar. why are you in georgia? >> i'm chair of the senate rules committee, jonathan. we decided why stay in washington when all these bills are being enacted all over the country. over 400 have been introduced to mimic people's freedom to vote and i'm not sure everyone knows this, but over 20 of them, 28, to be exact, have actually become law. part-time focussed on not getting water and long lines we'll have a voter testify at the hearing on monday about what happened to him but the law is even worse than that. limits on one-off voting where, you know, senator warnock won their run yaf and now saying the runoff can only take 28 days. you can't vote on the weekends before it. and you have to register 29 days in advance. when there's a runoff, you can't register at any time during the runoff. just giving you a few of the examples. drop off limits, mail in ballot limits. that's the reason legislators in georgia and the two u.s. senators have bravely stood up against the law. that's why we're bringing the rules committ

>> well, if you really believe this is as important as amy klobuchar and other democrats say it is, of course this is what they should be doing. they should be shining a light on this issue in any way they can if it is an existential threat to our democracy. the question though is whether the prospects or the senate actually agreeing to do anything about the voter suppression that is taking place, and right now, those prospects are dim. we should be honest. unless manchin and sinema and perhaps others move on the question of what to do with the filibuster, there is no way that there are 60 votes in the senate for any sort of federal voting legislation. now, that was once the case with the civil rights act of 1965. so it is not as if, you know, it can never happen. but it is not happening right now. >> well, i mean that is really the problem, right? so we see state after state after state where there are problems and i was in austin on opening day of the session, not this special session, but the session, and all of the lawmakers, democratic lawmakers i talked to, said this is where our

i want you to take a listen to what senator amy klobuchar said today. >> one of the things that the legislators here, just like the texas legislators have said, is that they aren't going to let -- they are not going to be able to beat this concerted republican effort across the country on their own. they need salvation from washington. that's why we're going to georgia. it's why texas came to us. >> it sounds from that clip like senator klobuchar gets it. do you get the sense other lawmakers you have spoken to in d.c. share her sense of urgency? >> i do. i think it was important to come here to express, look, we're on the front lines of this fight in our state legislatures, and it was important for them to hear exactly what we're going through on the ground in texas. yes, i did take away that from our meetings, people understood, senators understood that the time to act is now, where we bought some time by leaving texas, but we can only hold the line for so long. we are the party in the minority, and ultimately, republicans will come back and have the majority vote to get the vote that they wan

senator amy klobuchar spoke to cnn this morning about her effort to get him onboard. i want you to take a listen. >> number one would be to get republicans. i personally don't think that's going to happen. so the second thing is to say, well, senator manchin has indicated some interest in the standing filibuster. that is one way to do it. we could have it focused on voting rights only. so we're continuing to work with him and many others to get this done. >> so first i wonder, secretary castro, if you agree with the senator's analysis there and if you are actually hopeful that he could move on this issue. >> well, of course i'm hopeful like everybody else is that he will, you know, and we have a lot of texas democrats up there right now, legislators who are pushing for voting rights legislation, and so many other people including senator manchin's colleagues. we do need to set aside the filibuster or do a carveout, something that will allow voting rights legislation to get passed. and you can draw that straight line, as you mentioned, alicia, because this all started

i asked committee chair woman amy klobuchar whether this was part of an effort to show the filibuster holdouts like joe manchin and kyrsten sinema. they tried everything, it would take a change in rules to pass a federal voting rights bill. here's what she told me. >> i think part of this is yes, bringing back evidence. now, there is evidence directly from our colleagues, like john tester, big believer in the bill from montana. he has seen a state with good election laws get changed, purely raw political power. you see wisconsin and tammy baldwin. they're hearing it from them and their personal stories, but getting evidence from voters, bringing it back with us, i think that's very important, too. >> reporter: chris, some of the evidence today comes from georgia voters testifying. some coming from raphael warnock. he is probably the most vulnerable incumbent in a battleground state. the issue is nearer to the broader picture of democracy and to democrats' unique political interest here in georgia. >> obviously we're see action on different fronts, there are road blocks to federal acti

klobuchar and raphael warnock is asking for a mandate of 15 days for voting and mandates at least two sundays people can vote souls to the polls, a national extension of mail-in voting, national voter identification requirement and a provision that would require super pacs to disclose identities of bigger donors. basically it's a more narrow version of the for the people act, the sweeping voting rights bill that democrats have come out in support of. even so, with this narrow bill being discussed, it's still unclear how this doesn't boil down to a fight about the filibuster even if garners support of all democratic senators in the senate. they still need the support of ten rupp votes, and considering the opposing side of this is the began vallizing issue of the republican party. that's probably unlikely to happen without scrapping the filibuster entirely. >> there's certainly calls on the left do that and many are reluctant to take that extreme, in their words, step. jackie, we just heard the president speak rather emotionally about those who have yet to get vaccinated. we saw him unr

take us inside the hearing and what you heard from the woman leading this committee, senator amy klobuchar. >> reporter: hallie, good morning. this hearing has just gotten under way and just the fact that we're here at all speaks to what democrats believe is the scale and scope of the problem. remember, there's already been one vote on the for the people act which democrats laid out as their solution to these state laws that are popping up in republican-controlled states. that law failed, or that vote failed and now you've got democrats trying to come up with non-traditional ways to keep the spotlight on this issue and to try to build support for trying again, as you heard senator klobuchar say before the break, she's not giving up on the issue of the for the people act. that's not coming from republicans, mitch mcconnell out with a statement about the hearing. he's on this committee, by the way, not attending. he called it a silly stunt, accuses democrats of trying to create hysteria around the voting rights issue. what does that leave us with? democrats trying to convince other democrats

let's listen to amy klobuchar. >> it was very clear he had two reasons, one was his health and two the court. you have to be concerned about the makeup and how you get a justice on the court with all of the manipulation that mitch mcconnell has engage in. so that would lead me to say sooner rather than later. he makes his own decision if he's going to retire, but if he's going to retire, it should be sooner rather than later if you are concerned about the court. >> cnn's joan biskupic is with us now. this is kind of a change, is it? what do you think? >> senators have been going back, especially members of the senate judiciary committee that senator klobuchar is on, because law professors, liberal advocates have been writing col columns, taking out ads saying would you please retire, please? and so members of the senate and congress have held back a little bit, most of them certainly. but what she did was took these comments that justice breyer had said about what factors he was weighing. he told me he was weighing his health and the court. and, you know, when justices refer to the cou

i mentioned those states because senator gillibrand, warren and amy klobuchar have all jumped into this -- their state doesn't allow. >> chris: [laughs] so in about 30 seconds, susan, where do we stand here? because red states are going to continue -- you can call it new voting restrictions or re-imposing what the old rules were prepandemic, the president can't get a federal law through because of republican filibuster in the senate, the supreme court is upholding the law changes, the voting changes in states like arizona, so what is -- what is biden and the democrats, what do they do? >> here's the disconnect, you can describe it is the biggest threat to voting, to democracy, since the civil war, but democrats are not in a position to actually do anything about it on the federal level, or in more than a dozen states who continue to tighten voting laws and change the oversight of elections, so what you've got, you've got an issue, not a solution. it's something democrats will be talking about to the next election. >> chris: and of course all of these rules could change who actually vote
