rachel: yeah. pete: that's true. will: we will start with this i heard you talking about tellerrier in the show it's joe biden's no good very bad week. it's impossible for me to read in any type of efficient manner. we are going to scroll this across your screen. every single day this week president biden met another defeat. i think the high water marks or low water marks for president biden were obviously the supreme court knocking down his vaccine mandate along with news that inflation significantly outpaced expectations. but, day in and day out, one of his own speeches panned by his own party continuing to divide america. rachel, it was ugly every single day, that led the president to, i think in my mind, instinct actually, inflexionively turn to things he thinks are wins, division and hey, infrastructure. rachel: yeah. it did. by the way, it's not just a terrible week, will. this has been a terrible year, which is why when peter doocy was in the white house pressroom, he pressed jen psaki on th

rachel: are you saying you want the senate majority leader to continue? rep. hoyer: i didn't say that. with respect to the bill, we need to have 51 votes and reconciliation and in voting rights we need either to change the rules or we need 60 votes. republicans have 50 votes. it is hard for me to believe that 20% of the republicans in the united vapes senate will not vote to make easier for americans to cast their votes, to express their voice and have their desires recognized at the ballot box. americans ought to understand it is because there is not a single united states senator who is prepared to vote for a bill which makes it easier for americans to vote, not more difficult. they say we have to protect against fraud. that reminds you trump lied and said there was fraud in the election and he went to court over and over again. not a single court ruled that there was sufficient fraud and only that there wasn't some mistakes. there was no cause to find that fraud had made a different in the election anywhere in the country. so it is a darn shame that we don'
