Senators Schumer and Cornyn share same chart to debate changing filibuster rules
1 00:00:00,180 –> 00:00:05,460 >> The bipartisan 60 vote requirement is eliminated. Our colleagues on the other side 2 00:00:05,460 –> 00:00:10,820 of the aisle will have unchecked power to write the laws affecting three hundred and 3 00:00:10,820 –> 00:00:16,630 thirty million Americans. We know they’re already willing to manufacture a 4 00:00:16,630 –> 00:00:21,880 voting rights crisis to increase their own power if they’re willing to do 5 00:00:21,880 –> 00:00:27,540 that. What aren’t they willing to do. I know I’m not alone 6 00:00:27,540 –> 00:00:29,250 Mr. president saying I hope. 7 00:00:30,150 –> 00:00:55,030 >> We never find out the president used the floor the 8 00:00:55,030 –> 00:01:00,210 majority leader from Texas for request just to 9 00:01:00,210 –> 00:01:00,660 replace. 10 00:01:00,690 –> 00:01:02,110 >> I’d like to borrow his chart. 11 00:01:02,160 –> 00:01:07,200 >> You’ll love this more so now but the majority would be with my colleague I would yield to you. 12 00:01:07,200 –> 00:01:09,590 I have the floor. Mind if I borrow your truck. 13 00:01:18,750 –> 00:01:21,410 >> I’ll hold it. Now my colleague. 14 00:01:24,960 –> 00:01:30,410 >> Now Mike my good colleague from Texas says 94 percent of voters said voting was 15 00:01:30,410 –> 00:01:36,080 easy in 2020. So why do we keep it that way. Isn’t it true that 16 00:01:36,080 –> 00:01:41,270 all of the changes that we are arguing about are post 2020. And is 17 00:01:41,270 –> 00:01:46,490 it an overwhelming likelihood that this number if these changes are allowed to go into effect will go way 18 00:01:46,490 –> 00:01:52,070 down. So yes we agree. Keep the 2020 laws. Maybe we should improve 19 00:01:52,070 –> 00:01:52,600 them. 20 00:01:52,700 –> 00:01:58,480 >> But right now what we’re combating is a series of legislators 19 33 21 00:01:58,480 –> 00:02:03,660 laws that will make this number surely go down because it makes voting less hard. So while 22 00:02:03,660 –> 00:02:09,020 we agree 20 20 worked out OK I guess my friend is 23 00:02:09,020 –> 00:02:15,110 saying the big lie is false because Donald Trump said it was fraudulent the election results 24 00:02:15,110 –> 00:02:20,080 . I would thank my colleague for his chart and we’ll be using it again.
