stacey abrams says, great, let's do it. and then, oh, it's the stacey abrams bill, you can't touch that. even if you got rid of the filibuster and passed this thing, they're sitting in the wings absolutely hacking it to death. it's like what are we doing here? >> indeed. let me include both sides of the argument. elie's right they can't change the rules. but look. the key fact is this. it's been 31 years since a republican president won the white house with the popular vote at the first attempt, right? that is a long time. they know that. they're not stupid. they cannot win the white house. forget congress, the house, which also has gerrymandering, the senate which has disproportionality. they know they can't win the top office very easily. to come to your point about manchin in the senate, the idea that they're going to reject it. number two, i don't know, i said joe manchin's name more times in 2021 than i've said. like bernie sanders, i'm fed up with saying joe manchin's name and kerstin sinema's name. i don't get it. we

the white house is lying, stacey abrams is lying. you don't hear jim crow 2.0 anymore because the polls don't lie. what they did was this. they allowed aoc, rashida tlaib, omar, to lead the democratic party over the cliff they're going to get annihilated that the midterms. they know it and they can't backtrack. joe biden was in chicago today.e was he talking about crime? no, he's pushing more and morejo and more government spending. crime is an issue in this country and to defund the police is anti-american, and more important, you listed five things, sean, that you think are appropriate for election. it didn't have any motivation by color. it was five things that were color-blind! and that's what's driving the democrats over the cliff. they see race in everything! >> sean: i just wish we would get to the point. yes, the color-blind society that we all believe in naturalou law, we are all created by god and the human experience is one of okay, one's heart, good or evil. we all make choices. larry, we will be watching that very closel

as we learn they'll also be meeting with bill and hillary clinton and stacey abrams. garrett haake is on capitol hill. also with us, the reverend al sharpton, president of national action network and host of msnbc's "politics nation." good to see you guys. so garrett, what have you learned so far about what's expected to be in that bill? >> we expect it to be narrower than the for the people act that was only voted on in the senate and blocked by republicans. it will focus more narrowly on voting rights provisions and likely drop some of the other material about how campaigns are financed, perhaps some of the redistricting elements could go away as well. the only new additions we're hearing about are something that wasn't in the for the people act originally, that is how to deal with what might be considered election interference on the back end, how votes are counted and by whom. concerns that have been raised by some of these new state-level bills that have been brought forward in some of these other states. so a narrower package, an updated sort of 2021 version of

that's because major league baseball -- well, they caved to democrats like joe biden and stacey abrams and raphael warnock and others who deceptively referred, in many cases, to george's voting bill as jim crow 2.0. watch this. >> some of these voter suppression laws in georgia and other republican states smacked of jim crow rearing its ugly head once again. >> president biden: it is the most pernicious thing. this makes jim crow look like jim eagle. this is gigantic what they are trying to do. >> the resurgence of jim crow's-style suppression measures. >> it is a tsunami threatening democracy. >> a massive and unabashed assault on voting rights unlike anything we've ever seen since the jim crow era. this is jim crow in new clothes. >> sean: ultimately the all-star game was viewed by 8 million people, a historically low number for that game, showing politics in sports aren't going over well with the american people. worst of all, businesses in atlanta including minority-owned businesses, they lost tens and tens of millions of dollars in revenue. why? because of the selfish political ac

stacey abrams could have easily said, oh hell no, we're not doing this compromise. this doesn't go along with any of the progressive voting legislation that we want. but she stood in the town square, if you will, with the american people to say, yeah, okay, i get it, this is about our voting rights and changing the system and making it better. so republicans aren't about that. i think we know that now very clearly. so what it's going to require is the rest of us. what citizens are joining those legislators who come into town this week? what efforts are occurring in state capitols around the country to press on state legislators that the american people don't want this change? because wake up, folks. there's no fraud in the 2020 election. what the hell do you think is going to happen in 22 and 24? that's what the big setup is. that's what this setup is all about. so the stcey abrams, the joe manchins, the liz cheneys, they're trying to course correct before we get there so we don't have to confront real fraud when republican legislators decide, you know what, i'm sor

stacey abrams lost. all that hurts voter confidence. what we've tried to do with this is make election management easier for election officials. also, help voters restore confidence that has been hit by both sides of the aisle. >> apparently it hasn't done that. let me get to some of our audience questions. this is a question for you. were there any early indicators of character that people could've identified to help inform their evaluation of people lying about the 2020 election? voters could have clued into it before 2020. what would those have been? you have spoken about the criticality of good character. >> well, i tend to speak with a calm demeanor, a quiet voice, and i'm careful for the words that i use. someone in high office should always do that. i don't think we need to objective five people. i spent time in the general assembly. i was there for two years. i sat next to democrats on my left and my right. we would have conversations. we had respectful conversations. i want to make sure that we always have those conversations.

right now texas state democrats are on the hill talking about people like stacey abrams and the clintons. but they're dealing with a separate challenge. that bipartisan infrastructure deal just cleared a key test vote. there is new push back for another bill that democrats want to pass that is from within their own ranks. >>> and cubans calling for treatment and bob me nen dez just delivered a speech in the senate asking for world solidarity on cuba and the release of political prisoners. >>> plus right now the number of coronavirus cases is up in all 50 states and that puts new attention on a question that a lot of people are asking. will people need to prove their vaccinated to go to work? or to go out to eat? we're getting early answers this morning. they are now requiring vaccinations. today president biden is expected to announce a requirement for federal workers. we start with the latest on this pandemic and the major vaccine announcement. monica is at the white house for us. josh is talking to washington dc workers affected by this, and i want to bring in a doctor who is a senior

stacey abrams, senator klobuchar held a roundtable with georgia voters today. what is the most important thing that those voters need to know, these to understand about the obstacles to voting that are being erected by republicans? >> well, again, since 2020, 17 states have passed voter suppression laws, and there are hundreds being entered into 48 states currently. and this is on top of already having fewer voting rights than we have for more than 50 years despite the fact that people have given their lives for the kind of demanding and the expansion of this democracy. so what people need to know is that who is hurt the worst when deny people votes is poor people, low-income people, working people of all races, of all creeds, of all geographies because what happens is that elected officials come into office, are smuggled into office because of voter suppression, that then pass policies that attack the vast majority of people in our society. and what we also know is that people across the board, across party lines, across geography, all are saying that we shoul

abrams. you well know you still need 60 votes in the senate to get anything done. >> that's right. >> on anything. that includes voting rights when it comes to legislation, i should say. some democrats are still not willing to side step the filibuster on this issue. is your hearing in georgia going to change that? >> we've seen a concerted effort across the country, you know this, dana, over 400 bills introduced, 28 signed into law, including this really bad one in georgia, that not only denies voters water when they're standing in line, but also reduces the run-off time to 28 days. and guess what? you have to register 29 days before. this is clearly a focus by the republicans in georgia on limiting people from voting. so we're doing this hearing, yes, to build pressure, to pass basic federal voting rights. that is the for the people act. the john lewis bill. you name it. if we were just to concede and say, okay, we have one vote. the republicans blocked it so we're taking our marbles and goi

stacey abrams came out and said she was fine with it. but that was a one sentence answer. the fine print of her answer is, everyone is fine with voter id. the problem comes in when some states demand only voter idea not other forms of identification and put restrictions on the kinds of photo ideas that can be presented. so you have in some states where a student cannot show their student photo id, but someone can show up and show their gun permit. and be able to vote. and that is the issue, that is the problem. i do not think it is unreasonable to ask people to prove who they are. the problem comes in when you start picking and choosing which pieces of identification allow you to exercise your right to vote. judy: so much to ask the two of you about this week. david, i do want to raise the indictment that new york prosecutors handed down against the trump business and his chief financial. officer. my question to both of you is, how does this affect former president trump's political fortunes? >> i guess it remains to be seen. i confess,

>> even stacey abrams testified before this committee that voter turnout does not really matter. i'm lost. can you explain how that makes sense when we have record turnout, have not been able to see a single voter whose vote was suppressed, and they are leading a voice on voter suppression, miss abrams said that voter turnout does not matter. i think it does. do you? >> i think it does. i am proud that in our election last year, in the midst of a pandemic, we had the highest turnout we ever had. over 2 million voters voted. i took some hits from my side of the aisle for decisions i made to make voting easier, but we did in a way that protected security of our elections. we made voting easier. we expanded early voting. we found at about seven out of 10 voters, even in a pandemic, prefer to vote in person instead of by absentee. i don't have a problem with absentee voting. but i think we should permit the states to respect the wishes of their constituencies and come up with a law that works best for them. >> did any of these changes, like vote -- photo id, impact voter turnout? >>

abrams and raphael warnock, the cost that state a little over $100 million. they will not succeed against georgia because -- i don't think the supreme court would ever touch it. >> we would have to make sure there is not disparate racial impact. we know that each party tries to increase the number of people voting in their party and decrease the number of people voting the other way and that has happened since eldridge and jerry invented gerrymandering. we have to make sure in a society dedicated to racialt equality that there is no disparate impact and that every new law has the same new impact on people regardless of race. once that test as possible and people should be satisfied with voter integrity laws. >> voter integrity. we approved florida after 202,016, many states run flawless election after flawless election. we can do it everywhere. these are simple things. thank you both. now tonight we turn to another basic facts, but woke far left socialists in the democratic party are on a mission, their mission to trsolutely destroy seemingly everything that,

can stacey abrams pull this off? >> i think so. i have been cautioning democrats for quite some time that georgia is not a blue state. 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. >>> comin

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 of the rules committee. what has happened in georgia for you to hold this hearing outside of washington? >> well, about 400 things have happened, al, and that's all the laws have been introduced people's freedom to vote. 28 of these bills have been signed into law. georgia is so egregious, because we've all heard about the lack of water for people in line, how you can't even give it out on a non-partisan basis. but they have done stuff like said okay, those ballot boxes, limited the hours, said you can only have them at early voting locations, made it harder to vote by mail, and then here's my favorite, the run-offs that they require here, they were nine weeks when oss

let's say it is stacey abrams. that will be a powerful top of the ticket for georgia democrats, and i think reverend -- senator reverend warnock will be able to articulate not just the work he has done in the past few years but bring in the larger work of stacey abrams and fair fight, and so many organizations, specifically black women, who have been doing the work for decades and definitely done the work of the past two years to present a larger picture to georgia voters about their duty, but also their continued duty not just to get him into office but to keep democrats like himself in office in the years to come. so, hopefully, tagging on to what eddie has said it is not just about primaries with democrats also, we have to make sure that specifically white americans who understand the importance of the right to vote start proselytizing to their relatives who don't think it is a big deal and it is sort of a tempest in a tea pot. we need to get people, to reach them where they are, obviously our messaging is not g

. >> i want to pull up the live shot here the stacey abrams and amy klobuchar, holding this roundtable on voting rights. how do you feel about the moment tim now? i know you have a ton of events planned. how are you going to keep this momentum up, knowing the attention span of americans? >> earlier, you were talking about how there was five-hour voting, people waiting in line. we had the exact same thing in tex, except people were standing in 100 degrees weather, and republicans are looking to pass laws to make it eight hours lounge, and if you pass out water, you're going to prison. we're trying to let every single lawmakers floe, democrat and republican, these are the things they're trying to do. >> if they try to help somebody who is disabled, if they try to help someone who doesn't speak english perfectly, and they don't do it exactly right, they're going to be arrested and they're going to go to prison. >>> representative wu, thank you for joining us. i hoar you and your colleagues are safe. we appreciate it. >>> tomorrow, lawrence o'donnell and jonathan capeheart speak with the d

i saw stacey abrams organization there. to install internet service for community members to participate in the online census, and get jobs. and i stopped in selma, alabama and visited the housing authority to discuss an initiative they had of bringing preprogram and tablets to children in low-income housing, george washington carver homes. i will never forget hearing from a mother of three who said her life was transformed by the program and completed her online assignments to get a job. help her children complete their homework. and that is broadband for the people. dominique: thank you so much. you say there is a picture about how important broadband subsidy program is. i want to remine our audience members, if you have any questions, drop it in the queue and a and let us know who your -- who you are and your affiliation. i want to turn it over next to former f.c.c. commissioner clyburn. you spent nearly nine years at the federal communication commission working on these issues. can you tell us how you think the fcc shou

i do think you see in the georgia runoffs, you could say how much of it was stacey abrams motivating the black votes, how much was donald trump messing things up on the republican side. you can slice the pie in many ways. there are smaller scale examples of democrats using voting rights, using the stakes of an election to motivate people to vote. can you do it on essentially a national scale in midterms where history says dynamics are against your party? 2022 will not be a good year for the democrats. joe biden needs to defy history. the margin in the senate is small, the margin in the house is even. history says they must use this to mobilize or else the biden presidency becomes a two-year presidency, they get the house or senate and we slog into 2024. >> we'll see if they can do that. john, love having you wake up early with us. you can have your lunch break with john king. watch "inside politics" with john king every week day at noon. good to see you. >> good morning. >> good morning. >>> right wing critics are attacking the biden administration's door to door vaccine push. the pr

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 laws are so important to push back against and why georgia's in particular could be a key focus. >> and priscilla, over to you in austin, the standoff between texas republicans and democrats is now entering its second week. you have those texas democrats here in washington making headlines, you could argue for the wrong reasons. there are now five of them who have contracted

now, stacey abrams in georgia got them to sign what's called a mandated consent decree which was not approved by the legislature, therefore, it's illegal. and makes it very easy for democrats to cheat and win elections. you don't have too many of them in texas, to you -- do you, louie? dr. ronnie? -- my doctor. [applause] became a congressman. only beat 22 people. 22 people. i said, doc, how about if i take a cognitive test. he said, well, you can do it, sir, but if you do, you know, it'll be public. i said, what's wrong with that that? well, if you don't do well, sir, it's not going to be pretty. i said, is it hard? he said after the first five questions with, it gets very is hard. i said, let's take a shot at it. and we did it, and we aced it, right? i ate aced it -- i aced it. [cheers and applause] and one of the doctor doctors said he's never seen anybody that aced it. and some of those questions are not easy, i will tell you that. how do you think joe would do on our cognitive? [laughter] hey, you never know. maybe he's, underneath there there's somebody there that's very unusua

those democrats had more meetings with the clintons and georgia's stacey abrams, and joining us now is adam serwer who is staff writer for "the atlantic" and the latest piece is "the democratic leaders are betraying the blackvoters." tell us why you wrote something that incendiary? >> well, you have to raise the expectation of that statement saying that you will do something with the federal power that you acquire to protect the rights of the constituents who are the target of legislation that is an attempt to either diminish their access to the ballot or diminish their political influence on the electoral process. if you are not willing to do that, then you are asking for the votes without giving them anything in return. >> i want to draw you out on something that you wrote in the "atlantic" piece, because you say this about the democratic vote sers. the targeted constituencies must treat every election cycle as if their fundamental rights are on the line, and to listen to the democrats target the rights to the franchise as the new jim crow and then watch the same leaders do knotting

they are meeting with stacey abrams as well as bill and hillary clinton. griff jenkins is live in washington >> they are still here, the runaway texas democrats getting restless after almost three weeks in the nation's capitol and little to show for it. the lawmakers hoping to block a gop backed voting reform took to capitol hill yesterday defending their position to flee. >> this idea this bill makes voting easier in this instance i don't see how. >> the bills that were filed would do more harm than good. >> you are damn right i left texas and i'm glad i did. i left texas to give my people the right to be able to vote without them being infringed upon. >> their visit has been a fiasco. six testing positive for covid after flying maskless to d.c. with a white house aid and pelosi staffer being inrespected and forcing vice president harris to get a covid test and an asks for care packages. yesterday they got a pepp talk from stacey abrams who tweeted the grid got a high profile virtual visit with former presidential couple bill and hillary clinton. their ma

some democrats like stacey abrams say they could get on board with that. could you? >> absolutely. dana, when i first registered to vote as a 21-year-old. back then 18-year-olds could not vote, i got a voter registration card. i always present that voter registration card when i go to vote. that is voter id. we are always for voter id. we are never for disproportionate voter id. when you tell me you've got to have a photo id and a photo for a student identity card is good, but a hunting license is not good, that's where the problem is. i don't know a single person who is against iding themselves when they go to vote. we don't want you to tell me my id is not goo. >> you are drawing the line, just to be clear, at a photo id? >> no, i am drawing a line in an equity. you want to keep up and you want to vote and they'll have a photo id that you ought to be able to vote with whatever id you have, one being your voter registration card. >> got it. let's talk about how and if you can get this done. i know you're pushing senate democrats to sidestep the filibuster and pass voting rights le

when stacey abrams lost in 2018, there wasn't a whole lot of changes in terms of legislature. they started to purge for voters. but what happened in that state? they decided to work and make sure that they got more people registered to vote, they educated the voters, they mobilized voters and got them to the polls and guess what happened in 2020? we won the presidency in georgia and picked up two seats in the united states senate. and so this is not an all of the above approach. we have to do it in every way that we possibly can and the dnc announcement yesterday is adding to the efforts across this country. >> don't want to underestimate the importance of grass root efforts, that make a difference in georgia post 2018. but you do know the impact in the courts up to the supreme court. and i wonder, a lot of meetings with the joe manchins and the kyrsten sinemas on the board with passing vra but also with reforming the filibuster. did the latest supreme court decision move them? is that dead on arrival or sis there a path forward. >> i still believe that theresy path forward an

now, stacey abrams and georgia got them to sign what's called a mandated consent decree, which was not approved by the legislature. therefore it is illegal. and it makes it very easy for democrats to cheat and win elections. you don't have too many of those in texas, do you? the great dr. ronnie became a congressman, right? he beat 22 people, it was great. i said dr., how about if i take it cognitive test. he said, you can do it sir. but if you do, it will be , public. i said, what's wrong with that? he said, if you don't do well, it won't be pretty. i said, is it hard? he said, after the first five questions it gets very hard. i said, let's take a shot at it. and we did it and i aced it. we aced it, right? i aced it. [applause] in one of the doctors said he has never seen anybody that aced it. in some of those questions are not easy, i will tell you that. how do you think joe would do on that cognitive test? you never know. maybe underneath there there is someone very unusual. unfortunately this is an election where the person that counts the vote was far more important than the candi

it got the support of stacey abrams who used the word absolutely when she said she would back it. beto o'rourke called it progress. is that legislation you could get on board with? >> obviously that manchin proposal would be wonderful in the state of texas. i don't think people realize how many hurdles we have in the state of texas when it comes to voting in our visits with senator manchin. comparing west virginia election law to texas election law, you can vote in so many different ways in west virginia. at a minimum, whether it's a manchin compromise, a modified s-1, an accelerated hr-4, all those things would benefit us in texas. we have an all-of-the-above strategy so we can bring fair voting rights and have one standard in the country and that's the american standard. >> i know you had hopes of meeting with senator kyrsten sinema. it's been reported as of yesterday that you have not met with any republicans. i wonder if any of those things have changed? have you secured a meeting with senator senator, been able to meet with any republican senators? >> so i may not be as up to
