t if anybody isn't, most bills you could get passed with a simple majority, you know, 51 percent or whatever. But for some things you need more than that, you know, a supermajority if you're trying to beat a filibuster. The filibuster is just one party, usually I think always the minority party, just trying to use the procedural right to talk forever to delay things until you can't get anything passed.

And Reich says, he tweets, there's something terribly wrong with the system that allows 41 Senate Republicans representing only 21% of the country to block voting rights legislation supported by nearly 70% of Americans. The filibuster must go.

God, he's so slimy. So slimy. All right, here's the problem with this. How many of Americans actually understand what's in the voting rights bill? What do you think? He says 70% are in favor of this bill. How many you think know what's in the bill? Zero. Zero. Because Democrats always make complicated bills that you can't understand. The infrastructure bill, $3.5 trillion. How many Americans knew what was in that? Zero. How many people know what's in the voting rights bill? None. None. Nobody.

So Robert Reich, you slimy piece of — you know, suggesting that somehow 70% of Americans wanting this or wanting voting rights in general is somehow in favor of this specific bill. This is not the case, and you know it. So when I see somebody lie — I mean this is just — well, lies may be the wrong word here. Let's say persuade in such a biased way. It just discredits economists, and I hate that. You know, the economists certainly not right all the time, but they don't need this.

All right. So it appears that Democrats have a two-pronged strategy, and that's pretty interesting. The first prong is to get rid of the filibuster. Now you're hearing a lot of talk about that, right? So Democrats are the party in power, but they can't get things done because of this darn filibuster the Republicans keep using. So step one is a lot of Democrats want to get rid of the filibuster. Step one is their clever plan. Step two of their plan is to botch one thing after another until the party empowers the Republicans. So step one: give whoever the party in power is all the power by getting rid of the filibuster. Step two: make sure that the other party is in power and has all that power with no filibuster. Isn't that what's happening? Am I wrong? I'm not wrong, right? That they explicitly have those two goals. Well, the first one is explicit: get rid of the filibuster. But it does look like every single force is suggesting that the Republicans will retake power, right? I mean at least Congress in 2022. So shouldn't getting rid of the filibuster be really close to the last thing they would want right now?

I know. How can you support a party that has this as their plan to give all the power to the other side? I'm not making this up. You're seeing the same thing I see, right? There's no debate on these two facts. Democrats want to get rid of the filibuster, many of them, the ones we see talking publicly. At the same time it's pretty clear that the performance we're getting of the Democrats will put Republicans in power. They know that too, don't they? Don't they know that? Maybe they don't.

All right. So here's CNN helping the public understand what's in the bill finally. You know, it's a complicated bill with a lot of stuff in it, and I'd like to understand it better. And so for the benefit of my viewers here, I'm going to read CNN's description so that all of you will finally know what's in this complicated bill. Are you ready? This should answer al
