host: let's go to conyers, georgia. caller: good morning. i appreciate you letting me get on. we continued to talk about uniting the country. you had a earlier that said black lives matter in antifa burned down the country last year. those are reasons why they shouldn't support the january 6 insurrection. clearly, that's a lie. there is not any pushback that black lives matter had anything to do with the sedition on january 6 or the nonsense that black lives matter is this left-wing crazy. there is not enough pushback on that. that's it. tell the truth. let's move forward. let's stop all this foolishness. host: palm beach florida, good morning. caller: i am calling regarding covid increases in numbers. no one has addressed illegal immigrants entering the country with no testing and no vaccination. there is one -- two sets of rules. i don't get it. somebody breaks our law and we expect them to follow our rules. apparently, that is not the case. host: that is barbara in florida. the wall street journal looks at activities in afghanistan after the announcement to pull troops out

georgia's ra fell warnock at a senate hearing in georgia. senate democrats today took their push for voting rights legislation to the state that was ground zero for voting restrictions inspired by donald trump's big lie of a stolen election, hearing from people affected by georgia's sweeping new voting law. as "the new york times" reports, their real aim is to sway a debate more than 500 miles away in washington where democrats are trying to revive a stalled elections overhaul in the senate to make it easier to vote and offset many of the changes republicans have pushed through in states like georgia. joining us now is blit cal reporter for the atlanta constitution. good to see you, greg. i will start with you. you were at the hearings today. what was the energy like in the room? i know republicans didn't even attend, but was it people mostly giving testimonials, was it people giving suggestions for improvement? what did we actually hear at the hearings today in atlanta? >> yeah, as you mentioned republicans essentially boycotted the hearing

as for georgia, gilmore, she continued feeling fellow accident until she died in 1990. she was like the o g. right. because she funded the civil rights movement to allow us to even be here making these pies you guys are carrying on her legacy. exactly. so what we're going to do now is we're going to take some of that brown sugar, and we're going to sprinkle it on and do what feels right over here in the middle of the table. you have some nutmeg close for us, close and not meg. our big staples of our z dominican, christina, i didn't know that lemons. salt flour water saw she was he just mix everything together. yeah. yeah. and he's going to start getting in for like this, like kind of like a hot mess. so we're making a cookie crumbles. and i'm a little bit crazy, like a cookie. i have my sugar, i have my butter and my baking powder. i have my flower. so i'm going to actually just eyeball how much choppy fees you kind of give it that like yummy, crunchy texture. i love this touch. so now what i'm doing is i'm just kind of like mixing it all together. you don't need a mixe

and that is one of the reasons i think the rhetoric surrounding some of the changes that the georgia legislature has made to the georgia election procedures -- not eligibility, but procedures -- are actually quite sound and some of the rhetoric we have heard in opposition to that, such as new jim crow and that sort of thing, is really rather irresponsible. host: the president himself referring to it as jim crow 2.0. guest: i have known senator biden since he was chairman of the judiciary committee and i find that commentary rather disappointing. host: we have some calls lined up for you. we will continue on with our guests. bill in virginia beach start to soft. -- starts us off. republican line. go ahead. caller: thank you very much for taking my call. i have two comments to make and i would like our reaction to them. the first one is that -- actually, i take a lot of pride in using my id when i go to vote. it proves who i am, that i am a registered voter, and that i an am american. therefore i take a lot of pride in that. i have no problems with an id. the second comment is that i a

georgia let's do it pretty well under royal rule, but the loyalties were divided in the colony of, georgia. but many folks felt that they needed british help to defend against attacks from american indians. you also had savannah which was a pretty well-off port city so they they didn't even send a representative to the first continent continental congress until philadelphia in 1774. now they did end up sending one delegate to the second continental congress. tensions at which was in may of 75 tensions were rising at this point, especially in may around the same time as the second continental congress. there was a seizure of gunpowder from the powder magazine in savannah. so so tensions are really starting to build despite this kind of overall general support of a rule over the colony. it's in the backcountry, which is a common thing in the southern colonies. it's the backcountry and it's specifically in georgia around the areas of like augusta. where tensions were really rising because you had still a decent amount of conflicting support depending on which side you were on and it's the bac

how about raphael warnock in georgia, as much as $25 million of your tax dollars. new hampshire, maggie hassan, by the way, call chris sununu, the governor of new hampshire to make sure you want him to run for senate. if he does we will win. cortez masso in nevada as much as $11 million. in colorado michael bennett he'll get up to $11 million. or 16 million dollars. now let's talk about our good friend chuck schumer, now, chuck schumer, don't you just love the guy? so you know, he's not partisan at all. so he says we have to pass this bill, he's working on it really hard because we have to pass it to save democracy. no, he wants to pass it to save his skin. guess how much he would get? up to $45 million of your money to run attack ads. it's corruption for the democrats right out in the open and it's based on a complete, complete lie. there's no basis for this. now, first off, we all should congratulate the arizona g.o.p., they had a historic victory in the supreme court, right? [applause] >> so thank god for president trump's picks for the supreme court, they uphel

they're coming to georgia where democrats believe of all restrictive voting measures passed, georgia law is the one they see as the worst, they want to shine the brightest spotlight on. that's what they intend to do. by moving the hearing here, republicans are not involved in this. mitch mcconnell statement awhile ago calling this hearing a silly stunt. he is on this committee. he and other republican members won't be here. 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

this is a message from a viewer in georgia saying we started our own residential cleaning business in the metro area and are looking to hire. it's hard to find people who want to do the job. from north carolina, keith, your next. caller: good morning. one of the things with unemployment is that right now there is a lot of jobs that cannot be filled because people make more to stay at home than they do to go to work. the thing that will kill is now is with the gas prices and all that going so high is that once again, you will make more money to stay at home and draw than to go to work. host: based on that, what do you think the second half of the year will look like? caller: truthfully, i think the whole thing as long as we keep making the decisions that our current leadership is making is not good. you look at the states that opened up and the state stayed open. they are recovering well. the ones who didn't are not. i am a teacher and we worked, i've been face-to-face through the whole thing. we shut down at the beginning of the pandemic and went to virtual but when the new school yea

the answer is that it doesn't, same deal with the voter integrity laws in place like georgia and florida but biden sent out his untalented vice president to do her best. >> these laws make it harder for you to vote because they don't want you to come. your vote is your power. isa don't let anybody ever take your power from you. >> notice they never mention any specific aspect of these voter integrity laws they so vehemently oppose? but then again why facing convenient facts when you can make outlandish claims with impunity. >> and make sure the vote gets counted we will never have one man one woman one vote and vote for the candidate of our choice. >> laws that mandate the cleaning up of voter rolls and tend to increase transparency and ballot counting, just like the laws that require clear voter id, not racially biased in any way, they have no racial component whatsoever, they apply to everyone across the board. to say otherwise, which the sharpton charlatans are doing is alive. you want to know what this fear mongering and hyperbole was really all about? i will tell you. the democrats

georgia has really been ground zero for those bills. texas is getting a lot of the attention right now, but the georgia bill was the first statewide bill that we saw that really raised significant alarms among voting rights advocates. it's also, by the way, in a state that's going to have two of perhaps the marquee races this year, including the governor's race, where we expect to see stacey abrams on the ballot once again. significant races of significant national import here and a chance to draw the nation's eye to this issue in a way that a normal hearing in a normal hearing room on a normal monday in washington simply wouldn't. and i should point out that there were no republicans participating today, four democratic senators from this panel came, no republicans. although you heard praise from democrats for republican secretary of state brad raffensperger who other republicans who held the line against president trump's lies about the election at that time. this was another way to raise the stakes for why democrats believe these law

in georgia and iowa they have cut early voting. in alabama, arkansas, georgia, iowa, kentucky, oklahoma, they've shortened the time you get to apply for a mail ballot. in arkansas they've also shortened the amount of time you have to get that ballot back in. in arizona and florida they'll be kicking people off the absentee voter lists. in arizona, iowa, florida, kentucky, louisiana, texas, utah they'll be expanding voter purges, kicking people off the voter rolls entirely. in florida, georgia, montana, arkansas, new hampshire, wyoming, there's new harsher, stricter, narrower voter i.d. requirements. and yes, in florida and georgia they're banning water or any food or snacks for anyone in line no matter how long the line gets, no matter how hot it is that day, no matter how old the waiting voter is. 18 different states, 30 different voter restriction laws and counting. those are passed. those are law. and the effort to find a way to stop it, to try to put a floor under voting rights nationwide so no state can restrict voting rights

like arizona, florida, and, of course, georgia. still the epicenter of this suppression scam pain, and where the senate rules committee will hold a hearing tomorrow in atlanta to hear from state residents, including senator raphael warnock, on how the state's so-called election integrity law has affected access to the ballot in the peach state. we're fortunate to have the perfect guest of this story tonight. joining me now is senator amy klobuchar, democrat of minnesota. she's also chairwoman of the rules and administrative -- and administration committee. senator klobuchar, we truly appreciate you being with us as always. i know you were with stacey abrams earlier today at a roundtable of voting rights in georgia. i know you went to get the word at ebenezer baptist church from reverend warnock before that. but of course, you'll be hearing from him again tomorrow, along with other georgia residents and experts in a rare senate rules committee hearing in atlanta on the voting restrictions recently enacted in that state. i was chair

would there be new election laws in georgia taking place today? >> i believe so because for many years when i ran actually in 2018 i said we need to move away from signature match and move tors an objective measure like driver's license number. what was adapted in sp-202 is similar to what they're using in minnesota for absentee ballot voters. that's good solid election reform. >> okay. is taking away the powers of your office good solid election reform or response to what happened in the 2020 election? >> well, removing me as the chairman of the state election board, the decision the general assembly made, not one i supported but at the end of the day i do believe making sure we have accountability to counties that continually fail because we have had one county at least since 1993, fulton county has had massive failures every single election. people not just in fulton county are waiting for those results but actually people across the entire state because it represents about 11% of our total voting population. >> well, i appreciate you putting i

georgia is america's newest battleground state. which means that the infrastructure that is required and battle and ask for every vote in the state of georgia to compete in georgia's rural black belt, to compete even in the 14th congressional district where marjorie taylor greene is the current member of congress. that is what is going to take to be successful in a statewide election in georgia. and i do think that senate bill 202 new anti-voting bill is going to have an impact on voters' experience. so it also appears whoever recognizes the reality on the ground and takes that into account as they are going out and talking to voters has a chance. that's the picture of politics. you're out there with your elbows and fight for every vote. >> yeah, and we can't forget this is the home where congresswoman coup nongets enthusiastic voters. thank you both. thank you for joining me this morning. >>> coming up, msnbc celebrates 25 years this week. my essay on what the next 25 years could and should look like. s could and should look like

they brought a 90 page bill into the georgia senate. the vote was of the next morning, no one had time to read it. they did go over it some. the one aspect of this legislation is the allowance for the state legislatures to take over local voting boards. if they are thinking there is a problem, all they have to do is say there is fraud going on. they can take over those local boards and nullify the vote. i am surprised this does not get brought up more often. thank you, c-span. host: harry in georgia, there -- there. this is from michigan, republican line. caller: i wanted to comment when george terwilliger was on. my concern was the ability for nonpartisan inspections during the vote counting process. it seems there should be some standardized way so that at that point there would be no political denial of people to inspect the voting process. host: what do you think is the best body? if you want to make it nonpartisan, what is the best body to do that? caller: i think it should be prescribed ahead of time who the voter process witnesse

but he would have to move to georgia and decide he wants to run. it hasn't happened but it's allowed warnock to get a head start in what we think is a competitive race because georgia still is -- it's a battle ground, but georgia is used to electing republicans. >> it is. and a midterm election year, you would think the president's party normally suffers. a couple other great races. the democrats trying to hold arizona. that has been a tough state but it's been trending more to the blue. and democrats hope it's a long shot, but they hope to knock off marco rubio in florida. one of the things you need in a competitive environment is money. we'll get the full context. mark kelley, the democrat in arizona raised nearly $6 million. florida, congressman demings, one of the democrats running to oppose rubio raised nearly 5 million since the june launch with 3 million cash on hand. rubio came in with about 4 million on hand. but the senate races are going to cost a boat load of dimes. the democrat are moving on they'll have money. >> and democrats were wo

your colleague, senator raphael warnock of georgia, will testify as well. now, this field hearing is a rare occurrence. can you elaborate for our audience what the need is in georgia, senator? >> you bet. so good to see you tonight, especially on the anniversary of john lewis's death as we're all pondering his phrase "good trouble" and what that means. right now it means fighting to defend the voting rights of all americans. and georgia is one of those states that has passed a comprehensive set of obstacles really targeted at black americans from keeping them from voting. it ranges from things like the state assembly can take over the county boards to you can't hand out water to somebody who's been kept waiting in lines because they understaff deliberately the precinct, and the list goes on from there. this hearing is to go to the front line and hear from the people in georgia about what this means for them, both to give them voice and hopefully for america to listen. >> now, i've spoken to president biden a great deal about voting rights in the last two we

arizona and georgia. georgia in particular. new reports out of there some 35,000 people allegedly voted in a county that they didn't live in. what about that and where people should look for the right information about arizona and georgia because both places are coming out with minuscule numbers officially as of yet. >> well, i think one of the things that we have learned in recent months is that the level of distrust among a cohort of americans who have traditionally been the course source -- had great faith in our institutions in law and order in the wake of the 2020 election has really been raised. they are very mindful a number of different irregularities or questions that they have unfortunately, a lot of this has really been a situation where a lot of this has been swept under the rug and we don't have the level of transparency that we would like to have. not just about these processes but will about the rules that have been put into place. that's something that i think is going to require a number of different state offi

then in march of 2021, georgia's legislature passed a law. many of that law's provisions make it harder for people to vote. the complaint alleges the state enacted those restrictions with the purpose of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race or color. host: mr. george terwilliger, what do you think about the case dd -- the drg has to make? -- ddo g has to make? -- v doj -- the doj has to make? guest: that will be played out in court. the central premise of the department's case and what the attorney general stated is that the georgia legislature acted with a discriminatory intent. i think that is going to be very difficult to prove under the relevant jurisprudence. i think others have questioned, legitimately, and i think this will be an issue if what the georgia legislature did actually made it harder to vote. georgia has a very liberal, open voting process in terms of the number of days that voting by mail and other means is possible. and so forth. as the supreme court said in the arizona case, placing certain requirement

look at georgia? i think part of what happened in georgia, the reason there are two democratic senators from georgia, at least in part is because the state me a restrictions to voting, and the democratic party and democratic voters stood up and said we're going to vote. >> and the question is, and i go through this all the time with maps where the states did the restrictions and the big midterm races are. what do we know the impact on 2022 in a midterm election where certain states with big senate races or vulnerable house districts, the ones that decide? do they keep the house, the senate? both holding just by strings right now? >> well, look, i think democrats recognize that they need to do a serious education with campaign with their voters so people are aware not only of this as an issue that could galvanize voters but how they can cast their ballot given the restrictions. as phil pointed out, they don't have a lot of plays, cards to play here. it's not nothing feels like it's going to move in con

in atlanta local officials, voters and senator warnock testifying on georgia's voting laws. here is amy klobuchar with garrett haake. >> i believe that this is an even bigger deal than just party versus party. this is literally a question to save our democracy. because once you start disenfranchiing people, people lose faith. >> and while that is going on, texas democrats who traveled to d.c. in an effort to block republicans from passing voter restriction bills back in their home state are kicking off a week of events to pressure congress to pass federal voter legislation. and joining me now from atlanta is gar rett haake. i want to hear about what happened in atlanta, but first i understand mitch mcconnell was talking about this on the floor back in d.c.? >> reporter: yeah, it is really all related. this field hearing today a chance for democrats to try to shine a light on this issue both here in georgia and nationally. they see these state legislatures passing laws in republican-controlled states, making it more difficult to vote, voter earlier, vote absentee and they see

the degree to which there are a few courageous republicans of her november 3rd in arizona, in georgia -- they're all being attacked, and getting very little support from other republicans around the country. so the problem with -- some of the republicans, i don't know how many i believe the big lie, but others are ready to sign up to. it >> robert how will -- republicans casually believe that there is some voter fraud in the country that needs to be dealt with but the don't share the view that joe biden didn't win the election. what's a way to make this a more partisan left hurt? because at the state level, and this is getting out of control. >> i think you're going to have to see this happen really at the dnc level, at the political level. i think you saw this happen earlier in the week with vice president harris. we announcing a renewed effort at a democratic national committee to take this on as an issue, to think about how to eventually register more voters, how to fight voter suppression, how to get back into the court system. i think the challenge that you heard from bill and ot

georgia is not alone. you mentioned other states. texas, florida, arizona, also on that list, same with utah, idaho, wyoming and montana. all of those states have caught the eye of the justice department. i'm told it is possible that some of these may see similar action. it may not be easy for doj to do so. not even a week after the ag garland and his team filed suit the u.s. supreme court last week ruled that arizona's voting law is constitutional and may continue to operate in that state. the democratic party of arizona sued but the justices 6-3 rule to leave the law alone. here is arizona attorney general mark brnovich on "sunday morning futures." >> an independent judiciary is the bulwark of liberty in our country. it represents the rule of law. every time the democrats don't like a case, what they try to do is essentially change the rules in the middle of the game. reporter: essentially the supreme court ruled that arizona is justified, it is righteous in that law. what does it mean for other states? will the justice department

the same deal with the voter laws in georgia and florida. but biden sent out his untalented vice-president to do her best refer end al. >> these laws make it harder for you to vote because they don't want you to vote. your vote is your power. don't let anyone take your power from you. >> laura: they never mention any aspects of the voting laws they oppose. >> if we lose ability to make sure that vote is counted we will never be able to vote for the candidates of our choice. >> laura: laws that mandate the cleaning up of vote roles like the ones that require clear voter i.d. they are not racially biassed. they apply to everyone across the board. to say otherwise which the sharpon charltons are doing is a lie. the fear mongering yesterday was about the democrats saying in power no bad how the country gets under their leadership. they don't want to go to the people to defend their record on immigration or rising gas prices, schools or crime. they prefer to create a system where they can stuff the ballot box to guarantee victory. they will get c

we already know what donald trump did to steal the electoral votes in the state of georgia. now we have a new report of donald trump trying to steal electoral votes of the state of arizona and donald trump had succeeded in his criminal attempt as he put it to find votes in those states. he still would've lost to joe biden by at least 6 million votes. he could've storm the presidential election. thanks to the electoral college if you could pick up a few more states. georgia's fulton county district attorney is using a criminal grand jury to conduct what is the single most important criminal investigation of donald trump in history because of its focus on the most consequential crime donald trump has ever tried to commit, stealing the 2020 presidential election. a similar criminal investigation might be underway tonight in arizona. if only lifelong republican had decided to answer his phone. the arizona republican reports then president donald trump try to speak directly with the chair of the maricopa county board of supervisors in the weeks after the november 2020 election as

as we go throughout the day today, we'll go to georgia. it will not be an issue. we'll watch that threat into savanna tonight. and by the time we get to friday morning this could be more of a significant impact when this storm is over philadelphia, a lot of trees and it doesn't take much to get the poutoutages there. we see the florida landfall and the florida story and we're probably going to have more outages on friday than we did for landfall. >> we're looking at a nasty friday here in the east. let's go back into that news conference there. >> good morning. now we're on the morning of day 14. search and rescue has continued their operation. the teams continue to make progress in the areas that were inaccessible prior to the demolition and i'm glad to report that despite the difficult conditions the teams experienced no injuries to the first responders that were in this last operational period. through these efforts and since our last briefing, the teams recovered an additional ten victims bringing the number of deaths to 36. 32 have been identified and the nex
