question. why would you even have the vote if you know you're going to lose the vote? >> it's a great question. and the fact is that the democrats want to show a difference. we are together, we are voting for these changes in voting. you, the republicans, are not. and basically that is calling card for 2022, jess. it's around the corner and democrats are trying to show how they are different from republicans. there's one more reason, a big reason. the senator from west virginia has been playing hardball with the whole idea of using -- getting rid of the filibuster altogether and just doing it with 51 votes, including vice president harris. the democrats are trying to show manchin, look, it's not going to work, you're not going to get those republicans to come along to avoid the filibuster, so maybe, maybe, senator manchin, you ought to reconsider and think about working with us to do -- to eliminate the filibuster altogether.

>> let's talk about joe manchin because i know he's made some changes to the bill, trimming the bill, right? >> he made major changes. in fact, it's kind of surprising that progressives are still with it. manchin took that bill and got rid of so many things the democrats had in it, including d.c. statehood, including universal voting, all kinds of things, eliminating dark money. he said, look, we're just going to talk about elections, folks. let's make it a federal holiday, let's get rid of partisan gerrymandering, and, by the way, i'll go in with you on voter i.d., which has long been a republican demand. what manchin has done is trim this baby down, thrown out much of that 818-page democratic bill, which was a free for all and said, okay, will you go with me here? but the democrats believe as tight as it is, republicans will

not. >> let's talk about the filibuster and the role that the filibuster plays in tomorrow. >> yeah. that's the key here, it really is. this is a rule that's been on the books since 1917. it's changed a bit, but basically it's this. if you want to go ahead and oppose something, all you have to do is make sure that the other side doesn't have enough votes. what's enough votes? 60. you got to have 60. if you don't have 60, it's not going to go. and the republicans say we've got 50 right there, democrats, so you're not going to get it. with that, it means so many other things are being held up as well. the one sixth commission, infrastructure, that's being held up as well, police reform, that's being held up, all because the republicans are threatening the filibuster. unless the democrats can find a way to either get those ten republican votes or change the rules, which they can do, all these bills will be dead. >> and then what happens after that? can they be revived?

what happens after tomorrow? >> now we're talking about consequences, jessica. here's what happens. democrats are going to looking like the party that can't get anything done. we put you in there, you got the president, you got the house and the senate, okay, they're slim majorities, you haven't gotten anything done. on the other hand, republicans are going to look like the obstructionists, we're "no" on everything. both parties are going to look like they got black eyes going into 2022. the question is, which way will the voters look at it, and both sides have a lot of twists. >> thank you very muc. the white house temporarily increased the benefit from $2,000 to $3,000 for each child over age 6. $3,600 for children under the age of 6. it's part of the american rescue plan and the vice president says it will help lift half the nation's children out of poverty.
