Highlights:   “Upchuck Schummer's attempt to ram through the so-called voting rights bills last night failed its first vote, and so he went nuclear, as it were, he forced a majority-only vote on abolishing the filibuster, the 60 vote threshold. And that blew up in his face as Democrat Senators Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin joined the Republicans in defeating this radical assault on our constitution and the integrity of the Senate. As a result, the election takeover bills went down in flames.”“Don Lemon is so pathetic; not only does he defeat his own argument, but he puts for this ridiculous straw man. Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin were not upholding the filibuster solely for tradition's sake, whatever the hell that means, they are upholding the Senate filibuster as an integral part of the standards of a fully functioning constitutional republic. The very standards that Martin Luther King appealed to!”“Manchin and Sinema really believed that the changes their party wanted to inflict on the Senate would weaken the institution to which they both belong. And that deserves our praise.”“People are starting to catch on here; more and more people seem to realize that despite their supposed success in 2020, the Democrats appear absolutely obsessed in rigging all future elections. And that speaks volumes as to what the Democrats really believed happened in November of 2020. The Democrats have realized that their policies, that they  truly believe in, their cultural Marxist policies are so unpopular with the American people that they can never win another election again without a significant rigging of those elections.”Timestamps:   [02:36]  The death blow that the Election Takeover Bills received [03:25] On the hysterics of the media esp.

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with new developments in reporting on the plot to steal the election. A district attorney in Fulton County Georgia is requesting a special grand jury in her investigation of Donald Trump. Plus, there is a bombshell new report from The Washington Post alleging that Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani coordinated the scheme to forge documents to submit illegitimate electors from multiple states. Those falsified certificates later became a pretense to throw out Joe Biden's legitimate electoral votes. Plus, today the Jan. 6 select committee sent a letter asking Donald Trump's daughter and former White House aide Ivanka Trump to testify voluntarily. We also go more in depth into President Biden's press conference marking his first year in office, during which he stressed that in spite of everything that has happened this year, the country has made a lot of progress. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg joins Joy Reid to discuss. Finally, in tonight's edition of "The Absolute Worst," Joy slams West Virginia's Joe Manchin and Arizona's Kyrsten Sinema for voting with Republicans to block a change to Senate filibuster rules meant to push through voter protection legislation. All this and much more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

Sara welcomes Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich to discuss his ongoing legal battles with the Biden administration. In the latest battle, Brnovich is pushing back against the Treasury Department for trying to tell Arizona how its COVID relief funds can be spent. He also warns other states not to give up any authority to the federal government because they will never be able to get that power back. And Brnovich explains why he is running for U.S. Senate this year.Sara also walks through President Biden's train wreck of a press conference on Ukraine and whether the midterm elections will be legitimate.

On today's Breitbart News Daily podcast, Brandon met the media and whoa - not a joke! And not his best effort. That goes for the majority of the media in the East Room too. Joey tried for almost 2 hours to defend his first-year record, and then he officially lost his voting rights push in the Senate. What a day. Our guests, Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL) and Human Events Senior Editor Jack Posobiec join Jerome Hudson to break down Pres. Biden's press conference.  

In this episode, Dinesh uses the case of Walkaway founder Brandon Straka, who never even went into the Capitol, to reveal the insidiousness of the January 6 prosecutions. Dinesh explores the latest twist in the Whitmer kidnapping case, throwing the FBI--if this is possible--into an even worse light. Dinesh explains the vilification of Sinema and Manchin by revealing their two great sins, as far as the Left is concerned. Dinesh concludes his discussion of Pushkin's "Eugene Onegin."  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Howie Kurtz on President Biden's comments on Ukraine causing concern and confusion, both Senator Sinema and Manchin joining the GOP in shooting down changes in the filibuster rule and the SCOTUS rejecting Trump's request to block Jan. 6th records.

In this episode, Don Lemon blames the anti-vaxxed for continued spread of COVID. Top Republicans want full travel records on Hunter Biden. Pending 2022 midterms heat up.

Bill Handel talks about how Manchin and Sinema joined the GOP in rejecting the attempt to change the filibuster rules, effectively killing the Democratic voting bill. What's behind the 'Great Resignation' of California lawmakers? ABC News Crime and Terrorism Analyst Brad Garrett joins the show to warn unsuspecting listeners against using QR codes, as they're the new method scammers are using to steal money and identities. And another trial in the killing of George Floyd is taking shape against the other officers that were at the scene of the crime.

In part 1 of What's On The Cut Sheet, Senator Bernie Sanders gets very angry at fellow Democrat Senators Manchin and Sinema while speaking on the Senate floor and in a shocking act caught on camera, a TV reporter in West Virginia gets hit by a car while doing a live report but keeps going on the report! 

Today on the Zeoli Show, Rich discussed the 2-hour press conference by President Joe Biden at the 1-year mark of his Presidency. The scaring thing is how not phased the President appeared to be at the threat of a Russian invasion into Ukraine. Claiming if it is "small incursion" well then it's just no big deal. This just gives Putin a bigger opportunity to do whatever he wants and can get away with it.  Biden is a danger and doesn't seem to realize it.  6:03-NEWS 6:07-Impending snow storm in the area  6:10- After hoarding millions of n95 masks, the Government is now giving them out for free  6:25-Supermarket coming that has no checkout  6:39-President Biden believes it will be only a "minor incursion" between Russia and Ukraine  6:42-Marty the robot at Giant 6:53-Marty has been found wearing a mask  7:03-NEWS 7:07-Biden goes on the attack of Republicans, falsely claiming they're the ones blocking his agenda  7:12-NCAA will determine eligibility of transgender athletes on a sport by sport basis.  7:30-What kind of message was Biden sending yesterday  7:38-All left wing pundits were harping on the 2-hour marathon Biden did, meaning he's mentally fit to do the job.  7:45- CUT SHEET | Bernie Sanders calls out Manchin and Sinema on the Senate floor | West Virginia news reporter gets hit by a car live on TV 8:04-Biden's plans for year 2 as President 8:07-Biden already questions the results of the next election if his voting rights act isn't passed  8:13-Biden says he never compared people opposed to his voting bill to Bull Connor or George Wallace...he did 8:20-NEWS 8:27-The Build Back Better plan would add $3 trillion to the deficit not reduce it  8:36-The vaccine's effectiveness against the Omicron variant remains in question but that still shouldn't concern people.  8:42-Breaking news in Philadelphia, city councilman Bobby Henon is resigning amid his bribery trial. 8:45-Howard Stern doesn't want the unvaccinated to be treated at hospitals  9:01-NEWS 9:08-Did 2 transgender athletes collude together during their recent competitions?  9:43- CUT SHEET | Biden-COVID isn't going to go away | NBC's Kristen Welker grills Biden | Joy Reid still goes with fake story of "maskgate" in the Supreme Court | Senator Cory Booker thinks it's harder to voter as an African-American than a white person in America 9;55-Final Thoughts Photo by: Chip Somodevilla / Staff

In this episode, I address the worst press conference I've ever seen. Biden did something yesterday that's entirely unforgivable.  News Picks: The media desperately wants a DeSantis - Trump feud. Don't fall for it. New data shows what we've suspected for a long time, natural immunity is superior. Doctors are now being targeted for treating COVID patients. Schumer and Sinema stuff attempts to squash the filibuster. Copyright Bongino Inc All Rights Reserved

    Everyone agrees Joe Biden's news conference was a disaster, and it may have started a conflict in Ukraine that costs people their life.  This is more than serious, this is an emergency.  January 19, 2022 is the day the Biden Presidency died... what happens next is crucial in this crazy world.     Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema save the Senate on the same historic day and may have saved America at the same time Biden was bumbling his way through his news conference.  Yes, January 19 was a great day for this country.    Congressman Emanuel Cleaver has Covid but its ok because it's a "breakthrough" case.  I mean, it's so different when a good person gets covid versus some evil insurrectionist.    And Chiefs lineman Nick Allegretti has a very special souvenir sitting in a very special place this week.  I love this story.  

The passing of Tony's mother-in-law, the Senate keeps the filibuster rule, Manchin and Sinema

First, don't you dare critique this episode without first actually listening to the podcast. Listen, then speak your mind freely. But today on The Breakdown I want to unpack and explain why I think Joe Biden himself was the #1 reason why the voting rights bill failed in the Senate yesterday. Of course Democratic Senators Sinema and Manchin are also to blame. But the President of the United States, who is the head of the Democratic Party, half-assed this entire push for all of 2021 - not even stating clearly if he supported changing the filibuster rules to pass voting rights legislation until it was far too late. By the time Biden was finally ready to move on this, he gave Sinema and Manchin room to dig their heels in. Everything about how this went down was a rushed unprofessional, unprepared mess. Period. And all of that starts and ends with Biden.

Today is the first anniversary of President Biden taking office. Yesterday, he held his first formal news conference in months to discuss his administration's accomplishments and progress over the past year. We share our biggest takeaways from the speech that covered COVID to Congress to Afghanistan, and more.  Verizon and AT&T agreed to turn on nationwide 5G service yesterday, except near airports and runways due to ongoing safety concerns from the Federal Aviation Administration. Despite this decision, some flights were canceled yesterday. Sara Nelson, president of the Association of Flight Attendants CWA, joins us to discuss workers' safety concerns. And in headlines: the Supreme Court denied Trump's request to block the release of White House records pertaining to the January 6th insurrection, two abortion-rights advocacy groups threatened to pull support from Senator Kyrsten Sinema for standing in the way of voting rights legislation, and the University of Michigan reached a $490 million settlement with over 1,000 survivors of sexual abuse by one of its former sports doctors.

Republicans used the filibuster to block voting rights legislation in the Senate Wednesday after a day of debates. Hours later, Democratic Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema joined GOP lawmakers in rejecting a filibuster rules change, which caused a fatal blow to the voting rights push. It comes as President Biden capped off his first year in office with a two-hour solo press conference – where he highlighted his successes and laid out his priorities for the future. Meantime, the Supreme Court rejected Trump's effort to stop the National Archives from giving the Jan. 6 committee hundreds of pages of documents from his presidency. Plus, the White House announces plans to distribute 400 million free N95 masks to Americans. Peter Baker, Garrett Haake, Joyce Vance, Eugene Robinson, Mark McKinnon and Michael McFaul join. 

Biden year 2 is underway and he's got terrible, no good, very bad polls. His team wants to switch it up. Kyrsten Sinema's re-election and the gamble Democrats make if they want to unseat her. Brain Sack (Questionable Material) returns to the show to discuss 'diversity intervention,' particularly in light of CRT and educational issues being front and center in the last election.

One year on from Joe Biden's inauguration David and Helen talk with Gary Gerstle about what's gone wrong. What is the strategy behind this presidency? Has it tried to do too much or too little? And are the dark warnings of another American civil war really plausible? Plus we discuss whether the original American Civil War should really be used as the template for political breakdown.Talking Points: It's hard to be a transformational president when your congressional margin is as slim as Biden's is.Are critics being too harsh? Unemployment is down, the pandemic recovery was quicker than anticipated, and there is a broader renegotiation of work conditions for lower-paid workers. But these are not the seismic shifts many hoped for. Biden may want to be a transformational president, but the conditions do not suit transformational politics.Did an overreading of Trump's incompetence on the pandemic inflate expectations of Biden? What would Biden's presidency look like if Democrats did not have a majority in the Senate?The unexpected victories in Georgia have also led to heightened scrutiny of the holdout Democrats, Sinema and Manchin. Republican senators seem to be getting a free pass. Are fears about a looming American civil war overblown?What do we mean by civil war? The idea of the federal government fighting a group of secessionist states seems inconceivable. The notion of factions vying for control over the center is somewhat more plausible.The American Civil War was not just about tribalism or ideology. There were incompatible political economic systems. The very fact that the United States has had a Civil War, however, is still part of American politics. As T.S. Eliot said, ‘Serious civil wars never come to an end.'Will the burgeoning discourse around illegitimate election results actually translate into more overt political violence in the future?Mentioned in this Episode: Biden's recent speech on voting rightsBarbara Walter's book, How Civil Wars StartGary's forthcoming book, The Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal OrderFurther Learning:Is Civil War coming to America? More on Merrick Garland's investigation Eric Foner for the LRB on the electoral collegeAnd as ever, recommended reading curated by our friends at the LRB can be found here: lrb.co.uk/talking See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

They discuss why Lieberman sees Russia and Iran as the biggest immediate threats to U.S. national security and his blunt assessments of how the Biden administration handled the withdrawal from Afghanistan and how it is approaching Iran . They also discuss why communist China is not as high among imminent threats on Lieberman's list. And Lieberman offers his reaction to Senators Manchin and Sinema standing up against the rest of their party on the filibuster and describes what it was like for him to stand alone on the Iraq War, opposing a public option on Obamacare and more.Please visit our great sponsors:My Pillow https://www.mypillow.comSave 40% on the new My Slipper with code MARTINI in the Radio Listeners Specials box.

Our guest today is Congressman Michael Waltz (R-FL) who has also rung the bell on the Genocide Games and discusses the great opportunity the GOP has this year as the Left's policies continue to fail and their infighting escalates.  

Today on the Zeoli Show, Rich discussed President Biden's first year as President and the rough one it has been.

Following President Biden's fiery Atlanta voting rights speech last week, it seems that the administration is keen to bring the issue of voting reform to the forefront of its legislative agenda with an accompanying change in the Senate filibuster rules. With debate over two voting rights bills—the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act—expected to begin in the Senate this week, Democratic Senators Manchin and Sinema have made clear the filibuster is here to stay, dooming the federalization of election law for this term. National Journal's Josh Kraushaar joined Marc and Dany to discuss Biden's voting rights push, the president's inflammatory speech last week in Georgia, the left's determination to abolish the filibuster, and the Biden administration's struggling agenda. Josh Kraushaar is National Journal Daily's Senior National Political Columnist, and pens the weekly "Against the Grain" column. Prior to working at National Journal, he was a political correspondent for Politico, where he reported on congressional campaigns and managed the "Scorecard" blog devoted to up-to-the-minute coverage of elections. Kraushaar has appeared as a political analyst on television and radio, including FOX News, MSNBC, CNN, National Public Radio, and C-SPAN. https://www.aei.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/FINAL-WTH-134-Transcript.pdf (Download the transcript here.)

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com

This week we examine what drove Koched-up Karen of the Senate Kyrsten Sinema to destroy voting rights on Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend. We dig into Sinema's questionable past and shady backers and debate rumors about her political future. We also discuss how unless Congress passes voting rights protections, it doesn't matter who runs in 2024, because the election will be determined not by candidate popularity but by the most extreme voter suppression laws since the era before the VRA.

This week we discuss the obstacles faced by the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, namely Republicans along with frequent disappointments Sinema and Manchin, as well as their apparent love for MLK in spite of this. Also plenty of wild dumbassery going on, as always. Join us!

Nach den Wahlen 2020 und dem unablässigen Vorwurf der Republikaner des Wahlbetrugs, haben beide Parteien geschworen, die Integrität des Wahlprozesses zu gewährleisten. Aber sie haben sehr unterschiedliche Vorstellungen davon, wie das aussehen soll. Und weil sich deswegen nichts bewegt im Kongress, erwägen die Demokraten, die „nukleare Option“ zu ziehen. Sprich, den Republikanern das wirksamste Oppositions-Werkzeugabzunehmen: den Filibuster. Denn obwohl Biden diese Woche mit einer leidenschaftlichen Rede in Atlanta, Georgia, versucht hat, die abtrünnigen demokratischen Senatoren Manchin und Sinema zu überzeugen, nennen viele Aktivisten seine Bemühungen „zu wenig, zu spät“. Währenddessen nehmen die Republikaner in den Bundesstaaten, in denen sie die Regierungen stellen, weiterhin erhebliche Änderungen anlokalen Wahlgesetzen in ihrem Sinne vor.Credits:Theme Music:  Reha Omayer, HamburgFind us on:Facebook: AmerikaUebersetztTwitter: @AUbersetztContact us:amerikauebersetzt@gmail.com

(If you call that snow.) and is driven insane by catchy jingles. (If you call that a catchy jingle.) Joan McCarter's observance of Martin Luther King Day distracted from her observance of the calendar, and she almost missed calling in, but she did, and they talked, and we had a show: Whatever pauses school attendance might help the Omicron wave to pass through and relieve pressure on school districts, which is good, but isn't just a blue thing, but an everywhere thing, and periodic closures add up to blanket closures when they happen by the thousands. Glenn Youngkin promised to listen to the parents but can't quite make out what the parents who didn't vote for him are saying. His anti-mandate mandate violates the law, and the constitution, but some of his supporters do have a history of that behavior. Meanwhile Youngkin initiates an investigation to come to a conclusion he has already dictated. Neil Gorsuch has only 8 coworkers but is such an entitled prick one of them can't even come into work. The Biden administration forced the resignation of a prominent right-wing activist and conspiracy theorist. Of course, there is a market for that sort of thing elsewhere. You heard it here first, but finally enough other people have heard about forged electoral documents that a second state attorney general is contacting federal prosecutors. Chuck Schumer has postponed the filibuster and voting rights fight to next week, and unless that fight includes a lot of punching, the outcome is pretty much decided. Forcing Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema to actually debate would be helpful as well. In fact, anything that makes a Senator's work harder should be pretty effective on motivating the lot of them. Look, I made it through a summary without mentioning the former guy… oop!

There is going to be a showdown in the Senate. The Voting Rights Bill will be voted out in the Senate. Because of the Filibuster they will need a super majority vote of 60 votes. Which they won't get because Republicans don't want Voting rights. So they will have to count on Senators Manchin and Sinema be willing to carve out the Filibuster. Which they haven't been willing to do. Let's get into it. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rational-boomer/message

It was a week of multiple aftershocks from the January 6 attack, and a fantastic panel – Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren, Professor Larry Tribe, & Jonathan Alter – joins Harry to break it all down. The committee reached out to Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who called them illegitimate and refused to cooperate. Biden made a strong push for voting rights reform, but was snubbed by Sens. Manchin and Sinema. And DOJ shook up the landscape with a wide-ranging seditious conspiracy indictment.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Much media attention has been rightfully aimed at the recent failures of Congress, but there was, in fact, lawmaking happening at the end of 2021. In this episode, learn about some laws that didn't get much attention, including a law that solves a real problem and a few laws designed to economically punish China. We also take a look at what is happening in Congress as we start 2022 and look for opportunities for effective activism as we enter this Congressional election year.

Jan 13, 2022. “Senator Sinema Announces Opposition to Changing Filibuster Rules.” C-SPAN. Sen. Krysten Sinema: I rise at a challenging divisive time for our nation. For years, America's politics have spiraled steadily downward into increasingly bitter tribal partisanship and our democracy has been strained. While that may sound abstract, it is a problem that hurts Americans in real, tangible ways. These deepening divisions hurt our ability to work together to create new job opportunities, protect the health and safety of our communities and country and to ensure everyday families get ahead. Our country's divisions have now fueled efforts in several states that will make it more difficult for Americans to vote and undermine faith that all Americans should have in our elections in our democracy. These state laws have no place in a nation whose government is formed by free, fair and open elections. I share the concerns of civil rights advocates and others I've heard from in recent months about these state laws. I strongly support those efforts to contest these laws and court and to invest significant resources into these states to better organize and stop efforts to restrict access at the ballot box. And I strongly support and will continue to vote for legislative responses to address these state laws, including the freedom to vote Act, and the John Lewis voting rights Advancement Act that the Senate is currently considering. And while I continue to support these bills, I will not support separate actions that were sent the underlying disease of division infecting our country. The debate over the Senate 60 vote threshold shines a light on our broader challenges. There is no need for me to restate my long standing support for the 60 vote threshold to pass legislation. There's no need for me to restate its role protecting our country from wild reversals and federal policy. Eliminating the 60 vote threshold will simply guarantee that we lose a critical tool that we need to safeguard our democracy from threats in the years to come. Our mandate, it seems evident to me work together and get stuff done for America.

Charlie details how Joe Biden is now officially upside down in recent polling in the one area where the president had continued to hold on to a slight edge in his approval–COVID. Now that he's underwater, Biden is appealing to media companies and social media platforms to further censor voices of "disinformation" (like this show, according to the Regime). Charlie breaks down exactly what is causing this slide as more and more dissident voices are continuing to sound the alarm and fight back against mandates and the vaccines or bust strategy. Meanwhile USA Today rightly gets lambasted for trying to excuse pedophilia as "normal." Meanwhile Charlie analyzes Krysten Sinema's Senate floor speech in defense of the Senate filibuster, essentially preempting his federal government power grab of states' elections. Finally Kamala Harris freezes when asked about 2024 while rumors of Hillary Clinton running continue to gain traction.  Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/support See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
