that's what your experience has been i'm sure as an aide to harry reid. >> absolutely. this is the nature of our polarized environment right now not to bring it back to the filibuster but it blocks anything the majority wants to accomplish. it never was supposed to be this way but that's the senate we have now. that's what republicans can be counted on to do for the remainder of president biden's term and the flip side of this, though, is that if donald trump were ever to come back to power or republican president come back to power, they would accomplish a lot. i mean, they can't articulate an agenda because they don't want to say what it would be because the things they seek to do are deeply unpopular. republicans want to give more tax cuts to the wealthy, they want to confirm super conservative judges and end women's right to choose and they want to enact massive voter suppression laws and cotfy trump's big lie but they can't say that out loud. the only thing they can do is obstruct and hope voters don't notice anything they want to accomplish. >> yeah, john said out

that was harry reid to a t. if you were lucky enough someone carried about and called his friend, he cared with you with every fiber in his being. the generosity extended far beyond things sartorial. a few years ago harry called up my wife and told her i sent you and chuck a special gift. the greatest thing. you are going to love it. it's a month's subscription to netflix . i didn't have -- iris didn't have the heart to tell him we subscribed for four years already. clearly harry wasn't big on new technology. he didn't text. he didn't mail. and as you know, whenever he called you he hung up so quickly you would think he was allergic to telecommunications. what harry was allergic to was the artifice of politics that he considered a distraction from his two passion. getting good things done in this capitol. harry never forgot where he came from. nor did he forget the people. his childhood friends and neighbors who just like harry early on struggled to get by. he kept up with so many of them. we remember hearing al

what is it that senate democrats said, you know what, i trust you, harry reid? >> you mentioned introvert. let me tell you an extrovert moment. i was on an airplane sitting across the aisle from harry decades ago when word came that senator laxalt was not going to run for election. this big smile came across harry's face because he knew what that meant, he was going to run for the united states senate. he had lost to laxalt previously. he went to the senate and became senate leader. you asked the question, you know, what existed there? it's really interesting, he was never the sparkle in the room. if you walked into a room, he was never the sparkle in that room. he was quiet, he could be blunt. he was no-nonsense. and he would always ask the question what and how, what do we need to do here, what are we going to the and how are we going to get it done. for some reason, he created a great deal of confidence in other democratic senators and he was elected democratic leader for a good long while. >> when i talked to senators, i would say, why harry reid, sometimes

and that is part of harry reid's legacy as well. he was not apologetic about what he did. in fact, when i interviewed him in 2019 he thought it would be fine to eliminate the filibuster all together, but he thought the senate ought to be willing to change with the times that had become obstruction to action. what some democrats cautioned is let's not get rid of the filibuster at this moment if republicans win the senate in november and they want to get rid of the filibuster for the issue that is most important to them, it will look very different. that is a debate we see going on now, andrea. >> and as well the closing minute we've got, less than a minute actually, the president's going to go to the senate lunch tomorrow and make another appeal for voting rights and to try to get manchin and sinema, some would argue the emotional he was at could have shut the door for manchin and sinema. >> he's a person that's spent 30 years in the senate and in the house, we changed the rules in 1975. i don't want to get too much in the details, but we changed the rules of the filibuster

harry reid's devotion to landra is legendary. perhaps it was her enormous role in his life and utter respect for her as a partner that ceded his unspoken yet strong commitment to women's leadership. maybe it was the role that his mother played raising him out of extreme poverty in searchlight, nevada. whatever the motivation, the results speak for themselves. growing up in searchlight harry reid was given a nickname, pinky. i'm not sure what it referred to and i actually don't think he particularly liked it. but as senator reid lies in state in our nation's capitol this week, this woman, who benefited from his mentorship, and guidance will believe that perhaps that nickname was a premonition of his role in changing the face of leadership in nevada and this country. we all know that senator reid was infamous for not saying goodbye. i, myself, was a recipient of that dial tone on many occasions. but those occasions were because he never failed to pick up the phone when i called for advice. i will miss those phone calls but i will t

[laughter] area -- harry did not like being the center of attention, it made him the awkward -- him feel awkward. it made him uncomfortable when people said too many nice things about him. as he looks down upon us today, harry will have to socket up -- suck it up, because few people have done more for the state and this country in a driven, brilliant, irascible, deeply good man searchlight, nevada. i first met harry in 2005, after i had been elected to the senate , and harry had been elevated to become democratic leader, and i was the sole african-american in the senate at the time, a mixed kid with a funny name, and given how different our backgrounds were, i did not know how well harry and i would hit it off. he was older, of course. his kids were grown. i did not know what kind of music he liked. i figured he did not listen to jay-z. on issues, he had a

harry reid. two or three times a day for 12 years, official working days, sometimes saturday and sunday but anyway, even if we had conversations, harry, this. problem, this. timing, this. look, look. sometimes i would call him back and say harry, i was singing your praises, thanking you for the job you did in legislation, i don't want to hear it. click. [laughter] i even said to him as he was announcing, i want to have a dinner and invite all of your friends you've served in the house, in the senate and the rest, i don't want to do it. for them to sing your praises, i don't want to do it. save the money, feed the poor. harry reid. his modesty made him unique, you might say in politics but his humility was rooted from a humbled childhood, rising from torchlight to the spotlight and becoming one of the most celebrated consequential senate leaders in history. yet throughout more than four decades of public service and even at the highest level, he never forgot his north start, to fight for working f

reid, why don't you just quit that dean did not know harry reid's character. underestimating the man, hardship forged a steel and harry. a fighting spirit that explains his success in the boxing ring despite being significantly undersized. he liked to talk about his boxing. you know barack? he wasn't a great athlete, wasn't big and strong like the guys i went up against. i had two things going for me. i could punch, i never gave up. about right. that same determination marked harry reid's political career. lost his first senate race by 600 votes. six months later he ran for mayor of this town and lost in a landslide.e. but harrybu did not give up. got himself a seat in the house and the senate and finally became senate majority leader and let's face it, he enjoyed every minute of proving doubters wrong again and again and again. sometimes the people motivate us the most, harry would later say, are the ones who believe in us the least. so yes, being tough, being a fighter is one of harry's singular characteristics. apparently once a staffer handed him some draf

i said my father is congressman harry reid. before i could say another word, the gentleman spewed expletives, raised the hoe above his head and literally chased me from the yard. so, i went back to the copper queen and watched a movie. [laughter] when my dad called to check in that evening, i told him about my day. i just remember him laughing. he laughed and laughed and then he said, wait until you get to elko county. they really love me there. [laughter] i have also been thinking a lot about a moment i had with my dad when i was very young, i was a boy. i was in the hills of searchlight with him. one of his brothers was there, i think don, my brother leif was there if i remember right. my dad carried a flashlight as he walked ahead of me. i did not know where we were going. after a few minutes, we approached a dark opening of a horizontal line shaft that disappeared deep into the hillside. as i leaned to one side, he turned on his flashlight and i peered around him, and when he shined his light into the blackness, i could see
