3:00 am
good morning, everyone. and welcome to your "new day." i'm amara walker. >> i'm phil mattingly. senators pulling an all nighter on capitol hill, as democrats push toward passage of a sweeping economic and climate bill. we'll take you live to washington for the latest. >> plus, albuquerque on edge. the fbi investigates the killings of four muslim men and now authorities are trying to figure out whether the same person could be responsible for their deaths. and the secret service faces even more scrutiny over january 6th. we'll have new details about how the personal cell phone numbers of some agents are being handed
3:01 am
over to investigators. good morning. it is sunday, august 7th. thanks for waking up with us. the alarm went off this morning, i was a little bit in pain and i thought at least i'm not a capitol hill reporter right now. >> i was in pain this morning as well and i was excited to come in because i'm glad to be anchoring with a capitol hill insider, or what do you call yourself, a procedural nerd? i called you last night to get some study points. >> a technical term. and that's exactly where we're going to start. up first, senate democrats pulling that all nighter as they move toward final passage of the sweeping climate and healthcare bill. right now senators are nearing their seventh straight hour of considering amendments in a so-called vote-a-rama. we didn't make that term up.
3:02 am
that's what it is called in the senate. that marathon process began when the senate voted to advance the bill with vice president kamala harris breaking the tie. >> on this vote, the ayes are 50, the nays are 50, the senate being equally divided, the vice president votes in the affirmative. >> an act to provide for reconciliation -- >> the bill known as the inflation reduction act includes nearly $370 billion to fight climate change. it also allows medicare to negotiate some drug prices, that's something drug companies have been fighting for quite some time. it also caps medicare out of pocket costs at $2,000 and extends affordable care act subsidies and it imposes a 15% minimum corporate tax on the largest u.s. companies. >> cnn's chief congressional
3:03 am
correspondent manu raju looking bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, has been following all of the latest developments. manu, i miss capitol hill every day and working with you every day, i do not miss vote-a-ramas. what is going on right now what happened overnight as democrats moved toward potentially passing this soonish? >> reporter: no one likes the vote-a-ramas. even the senators themselves. i just walked in the senate chamber to see what the feeling was like among the senators there, and they looked surprisingly awake. there are members up, standing around, chitchatting, mingling. it looks like happy hour in the senate right now, not 6:00 in the morning after they have been voting since 11:00 p.m. -- 11:30 p.m. last night. and we expect hours and hours more of amendments. what makes this process much different than a typical legislative process is typically senators don't really get a chance to have votes on their amendments because of the rules of the senate. you need all 100 senators to agree to have a vote.
3:04 am
this time because of the budget process they're using to try to pass this bill along straight party lines, any senator who can offer any amendment he or she wants and there is no limit, so senators can continue to go for hours and hours and hours and offer amendments until they are worn out. at the moment, they do not appear to be worn out this is what is happening in the course of the night, republicans try to change the contours of this bill, go after the bill, try to put democrats in a difficult spot on issues everything from the number of irs agents who would be hired under this bill, going after them on issues like energy and immigration, so far republicans have failed in their efforts to change the bill. and at the moment, democrats are keeping their caucus united in line to get this bill approved sometime later today. speaking on the senate floor, yesterday, the republican and democratic leaders offered their arguments in the picks they plan to make to voters if this bill passes. >> this is one of the most comprehensive and impactful
3:05 am
bills congress has seen in decades. for families struggling to pay the bills, for seniors struggling to pay for medication, for kids struggling with asthma, this bill is for them. >> because of democrats' historic failure on the economy, the american people have lost their patience. 90% say they feel anxious about inflation. but amazingly senate democrats are misreading american people's outrage as a mandate for yet another, yet another reckless taxing and spending spree. >> now, one of the areas in which republicans could potentially succeed in changing this bill is the provisions to cap the cost of insulin at $35. that's a big proposal that is part of this overall effort. because of the rules, republicans can potentially succeed in that. they have yet to challenge that yet. it is unclear when that will happen. if democrats continue to stick together, they will be able to maintain the large outlines of this bill, really keeping this
3:06 am
whole bill essentially in tact, everything from energy to climate change, dealing with healthcare, medicare, these issues still part of the bill as democrats plan to get this through the senate in a matter of hours. >> manu, so this marathon session, we're not sure about the timing, right, about when it will end, but at some point the full senate will be voting on final passage of this bill, and it will get to the house at some point. we need to go through all of this before it becomes law or until biden can sign it into law. give us a sense, though, of the timing and at what point you expect for it to get to the house. >> reporter: the house is expected to come back this coming friday to give final approval of this bill, and they have very narrow margins to get this approved. only a handful of democratic defections, they'll be able to afford, the democratic leadership will, because all republicans are expected to vote against this. there are some democrats in the house who are concerned that it does not deal with the issue of
3:07 am
state and local tax deductions. they wanted to increase the amount that people could deduct on state and local tax, particularly in the high tax jurisdictions in the northeast and in the west coast. they have those democrats have not drawn a hard line over that specific issue so the expectation is that this bill after more than a year of intense democratic wrangling could get to the president's desk by the end of next week. >> manu, your energy is heroic. thank you. it is the coffee, i'm sure. but the fact you're articulating so clearly is just incredible. good to see you, manu. thank you for that. all right, so the passage of the democrats' bill would be a major reversal of fortune for president biden. it revives his stalled agenda and includes the largest investment to fight climate change in u.s. history. >> let's bring in cnn white house reporter kevin liptak. you covered every iteration of this proposal from its very, very significant and large
3:08 am
initial stages to where we are now. how momentous would passing this be for president biden? >> reporter: well, phil, you know too, so much of what has included in this bill had been basically left for dead at various points over the past year amid this internal feuding among democrats. and so this agreement is a hard won agreement and it is for the president something of a vindication of his approach towards this. he left room for these negotiations to proceed. he didn't necessarily give in to these calls from democrats for a little more urgency. and he didn't shy away from compromise. and this bill does include some compromises. it is less than half the size of the package he originally wanted. it doesn't include some of the social safety net programs that he wanted, even the name is gone, it is not build back better anymore, it has been rebranded into the inflation reduction act. but even this reduced version of the bill is still so significant and democrats really do hope that it can provide the
3:09 am
impression that they're regaining some momentum, heading into the midterms. when you look at what is included in there, the largest investment for climate, that's something that could galvanize a certain set of democratic voters, reducing prescription drugs, that's something that, you know, everyone in the country would like to see, particularly older voters. when it comes to the goal of this plan, reducing inflation, i think that could be something of a little bit harder sell. you're not necessarily going to see the effects of that right away, but certainly that will be president biden's challenge over the coming months is to sell what's included in here and really show that democrats can lead the country as we head into the midterm elections, but, of course, president biden is the first one to admit he's not always the best salesman on this. and so that is something to keep a very close eye on in the coming months. >> and, kevin, i mean, during this momentous time for president biden's agenda, he's been in isolation due to covid. the last couple of weeks, i
3:10 am
guess it couldn't have come at a worse time. what is the latest on his covid status? >> reporter: it depends how you look at it, it has been a consequential covid isolation for the president. i'm not sure he didn't do what he needed to do while he was sort of cooped up here at the white house, but we did learn yesterday morning that the president has at long last tested negative. of course, he had that first bout of covid in july, he first tested positive july 21st. he got better, but then he tested positive again. that rebound infection from the antiviral paxlovid, but now the president is awaiting results of a second test. he is scheduled to leave the white house later this morning to go to rehoboth. he's also planning on monday to visit storm damage in kentucky, but, guys, he's been stuck at the white house for 18 days. that's a long time for a president, that really relishes the company of others. >> yeah, i was talking to a democratic senator earlier this week that says if this is what quarantine looks like for this
3:11 am
president, let's keep him quarantined always. it has been a big few days. kevin liptak at the white house, thank you so much. ginjoining me now, errol lo, political anchor for spectrum news. i want to take you back, i'm not sure if you'll remember this, tuesday, you were co-hosting a democratic debate for the new york 12th district where one of the questions that really kind of caused a lot of ripples, particularly here in washington, was you asking the three candidates whether or not they would support president biden in 2024. the answers, i think, were a little bit jarring to a lot of people and contributed to a clear narrative the democrats are starti ing to move away or concerned or unsettled about the president's prospects in 2024. and yet over the course of the last four or five days, you saw the leader of al qaeda taken out, gangbuster jobs numbers, major industrial policy
3:12 am
legislation pass, do you think this week changes that dynamic we saw on tuesday? >> absolutely, phil. rumors of the president's political demise have been greatly exaggerated. he's got a lot of fight in him. he's got a lot of achievements he can run on. the real question is whether the democrats want to take that record and this extraordinary run of good news that you just listed, and take it into the field, and take it to the voters. there is a real sense of doom and pessimism and it was in fact reflected in our debate. i was asking a lightning round question, do you think the president should run for re-election there have been questioned raised around their age, i thought there would be a routine response from all three of them saying, sure, sure, why not, and one of them, carolyn maloney, the chair of the house oversight committee, powerful committee, very senior democrat, said she doesn't think he's going to run for re-election. now, to some extent, phil, the president, as you know, sort of set himself up for this by
3:13 am
saying in the past that, well, if his health is okay, he'll run for re-election. and you can't leave that kind of a crack in the door or else a lot of ambitious democrats are going to start getting ideas, which is where we are now. but make no mistake about it, with inflation coming down, at least in the energy sector, with more reductions to come, if they get this bill passed that will reduce the price of prescription drugs, with this 3.5% unemployment, i mean, it is virtually full employment at this point, there are a lot of good things that democrats can run on. the question is whether or not they're going to pull it together and get out there and actually sell it. they have more than 60 days and they got to hit the -- hit the ground running. >> it is one of the great questions, right? if you ask what is different now between december or october, kind of the most circular firing squad moments when it comes to the particular legislation that is on the senate floor right now, it is that people are falling into line. and i think there is kind of
3:14 am
everybody's coalescing around the idea, even if it is not everything they want or maybe a little bit further than they want to go, why is that happening now as opposed to five months ago? >> well, i mean, look, it is happening slowly and i'm not sure it is really happening right now to be honest with you, phil. think about all the democratic surrogates who can and should be out there on the road, at rallies, trying to sell this president, this party and this package. where is bill clinton? where is hillary clinton? where is barack obama? he's doing film festivals in martha's vineyard when he probably ought to be doing rallies, you know, in arizona and in wisconsin. the political operation has really got to get cranked up and i think that's what's been missing. i think there is also a lot of pessimism on capitol hill, as you know, phil, because they're trying to buck history. the president normally loses a lot of seats, on average 26 seats, in a midterm election. so that would mean losing control of the house if even half that number of seats were
3:15 am
to flip on the house side. so i think there is a real sense of pessimism and that has led in turn to a party that can't seem to find its own way, even as all of this good news is coming out of the white house. >> it is just such an interesting dynamic and there is another really big component here that is different from december or october. and this is also touched on in your debate, a great debate, fascinating to watch the different dynamics including the facial expressions when carolyn maloney answers the question about president biden. but it was also the view on the issue of abortion, which was generational in the way that it was framed but also a key component now of what democrats are trying to feel their way through in the leadup to the midterm elections. we saw a huge, huge development in kansas. do you believe that can be extrapolated out nationally? what are you hearing from democrats right now about the meaning of what happened in kansas? >> the democrats i've been talking to are all very much
3:16 am
encouraged by it because, for once, it looks like this issue might mobilize democrats more so than republicans. you know, all along what the polls have shown, what the outcomes have shown, frankly is that, yes, voters -- certain voters do get excited about the abortion issue, it is just it has been more on the conservative side. those who wanted to ban abortion were more politically motivated, while democrats tended to sort of take it for granted and sort of put it in the back burner. and now kansas shows that's not necessarily an option. before we get too excited about it, though, phil, you got to recognize that in kansas, the key to that victory were the independents, people not registered or particularly holding allegiance to one party or the other. they were the ones who really made the difference. i don't know if that's going to necessarily play out in the same way from coast to coast. and that's what democrats have really got to look hard at, whether or not they're going to get a lift from independents and you have to go state by state
3:17 am
and figure out if they're a viable and meaningful margin of victory. and until they figure that out, and then figure out how to message to them and then talk to them and then have some good luck all in the next 60 to 90 days, i don't know if it is going to necessarily work that well for them. >> other than those ten things, everything seems to be going great. errol louis, as always, a pleasure. thank you for sharing your expertise. >> thank you, phil. albuquerque police and the fbi are looking into the murders of four muslim men for possible connections. 27-year-old muhammad hussein is one of three muslim men murdered in the past week. now, he and another man were both members of the same mosque, both from pakistan, and they were found dead in the same part of town. now investigators are looking to see if there are connections between the latest attacks and a fourth murder from november of last year.
3:18 am
police have not said whether they believe one person or multiple suspects carried out the attacks. overnight, police in ohio say steven marlo, the suspect wanted in connection with several murders, has been captured. butler township police chief john porter says marlow was taken into custody by officials in kansas. authorities didn't provide any additional details regarding his arrest. marlow is suspected of shooting and killing four people at multiple sites outside of dayton, ohio, on friday. a motive is still unclear. and in an unusual move, the personal cell phone numbers of secret service agents have been provided to investigators looking into the january 6th capitol attack. the agency wouldn't confirm which entities they gave the numbers to, but a spokesman stress third cooperation in multiple ongoing probes. the secret service is under new scrutiny after cnn reported the agency had erased text messages from january 5th and january 6th, which the agency said happened during a phone data

3:25 am
and rocket launching sites. the israeli defense forces also say that more than 650 rockets have been launched from gaza towards israeli communities. most of these have been short-range rockets, but some of them have reached as far as the tel aviv area, as well as the jerusalem area. they say at least 20% have fallen short in gaza. now, we're hearing some booms n now, these might be rocket interceptions. the palestinian ministry of health have said at least 29 people have been killed as a result of this violence, more than 250 injured. we're continuing to hear these booms overhead of interceptions. and i should note we might be hearing a siren here in ashdod soon. that would indicate that rockets are incoming. now, the palestinian ministry of health also says that at least five children have been killed as a result of this violence. one of those children was killed for sure in israeli air strike. they say that killed one of those top commanders, four of

those children were killed in another explosion that palestinians initially said was an israeli air strike. but the israelis are saying it was a rocket launch gone bad. the most important line here is hamas, because right now hamas, the militant group that runs gaza, has not gotten involved. if they do get involved, that will completely change the situation and really escalate the whole scenario here. phil? >> watching it closely. i'll take it, hadas gold, thank you very much. coming up next, we're going to take a closer look at the debate in indiana, state lawmakers vote to ban nearly all abortions. t when we realized shs battling sensitive skin, we switched to tide hygenic clean free. it's gentle on her skin and out-cleans our old free deterergent. tide hygenic clean free. hypoalallergenic and safe for sensitive skin. ♪ my relationship with my credit cards wasn't good. i got into debt in college and, no matter how much i paid, it follod me everywhere. between the high interest, the fees... i felt trapped. debt, debt, debt. so i broke up with mcredit card debt and consolidated it

3:31 am
contentious debate before ultimately voting to pass the measure. cnn's carlos suarez has the latest on the new law. >> reporter: over the chants of protesters, lawmakers in indiana passed a bill late friday night that would ban most abortions. the first state to pass such a restrictive law since roe v. wade was overturned this summer. the move drew outrage from democrats and some republicans who felt the measure went too far and others who felt it did not. >> if you're pro-choice, you can't be happy. i don't know who left here happy. all i know is people need to go out and vote in november. >> i held my pro-choice views until the first ultrasound that i had of my very planned first daughter. and in that instance, when i saw her, i couldn't believe that i ever felt like it would be okay to kill that child. i switched them that instance. >> reporter: the bill was signed
3:32 am
into law by the governor minutes after the vote. the law which goes into effect on september 15th, provides exceptions for when the life of the mother is at risk and for fatal fetal anomalies up to 20 weeks post fertilization. it also allows exceptions for some abortions if the pregnancy was the result of rape or incest. the vote came days after voters in kansas overwhelmingly rejected an effort to remove abortion protections from their state constitution. on saturday, the white house blasted the vote in indiana, quote, yesterday's vote which institutes a near total ban in indiana should be a signal to americans across the country to make their voices heard. congress should also act immediately to pass a law restoring the protections of roe, the only way to secure a woman's right to choose nationally. caitlin bernard, the indiana obgyn who provided abortion services for a 10-year-old ohio rape victim who crossed state lines in june, says she worries that even with exceptions, doctors fear they could be
3:33 am
prosecuted for providing an emergency procedure to pregnant women. >> you know how to save their lives, and yet you're wondering, well, who is going to -- who do i have to check when, who is going to second go me, do i call my lawyer, i do call the county prosecutor, is this going to go to the state attorney general, which we know can be incredibly dangerous for physicians as i've experienced. >> reporter: and indiana's business community is already weighing in on this new law. pharmaceutical giant eli lilly, which employs about 10,500 workers in the state, says they're going to start looking for talent elsewhere. this as a company announces that it is going to expand its healthcare coverage for its employees that might seek healthcare reproductive services out of state. amara and phil? >> carlos, thank you for your report. now in georgia, residents can now claim an unborn child as a dependent on their state tax returns. state tax returns, not federal. georgia's department of revenue
3:34 am
says people can claim a fetus with a detectible heart beat at six weeks of pregnancy as a dependent and get a $3,000 exemption for each fetus the woman is carrying. this comes after a federal appeals court allowed a six-week abortion ban that was passed in 2019 to go into effect in georgia in the wake of the supreme court's decision to overturn the landmark roe v. wade ruling. here now to discuss with us the legal implications is emory university law professor fred smith. appreciate you joining us this morning. i imagine if a 6 week old fetus is considered a person by law that would open up a whole can of worms about what other rights this fetus could have, beyond tax exemptions. i want to get your reaction to this new state policy. >> sure. well, the georgia law itself expressly states that when it comes to taxes and who one can claim as a dependent, that that
3:35 am
begins at the moment that an embryo or fetus reaches roughly the six-week mark, when there is fetal cardiac activity detected. and so the georgia department of revenue's move then is not surprising in the sense that the law expressly states that they were charged with doing that. but as you point out, the law also says that when it comes to the tax code more generally, that that's when personhood begins and you note that raises all kinds of questions. and so, of course, the example that many people think about, the texas case, where this took place, there is the question about the hov lane, right? but i think when people raise that point, what they're ultimately doing is asking kind of where does this end? and those are -- we just don't know that yet. >> that texas case you're referring to for our viewers who are not aware, a woman in texas, she was 34 weeks pregnant, she was driving in the hov lane,
3:36 am
pulled over, told the police officer, hey, there is a second person in this car, and he or she is in my belly. but she still got a ticket. again, you know, feel like we're venturing into territory that obviously hasn't been tested before. so what happens, back to the georgia law, if a woman after six weeks gets a miscarriage. was this even addressed by the state's tax agency, and then, of course, one of the thoughts i had was, well, can a woman be charged with fraud then or be investigated for allegedly having an abortion when she didn't? >> under the plain terms of the guidance so far, even if in the unfortunate circumstance that a pregnancy resulted in a miscarriage, the $3,000 deductible would still apply. so that is to say there is no exception for that circumstance so long as the pregnancy reaches that point, and if one were in
3:37 am
the even more unfortunate circumstance of having multiple miscarriages in a year, there would be a deduction for each of those embryos that reached that point in the pregnancy. >> so there is a difference between abortion laws or an anti-abortion law versus a personhood law, right? and do you expect -- i think there are three states in total now that have personhood laws in their books, whether they're enforced is a different story, but one in georgia, i think alabama and arizona, correct me if i'm wrong are the other two states that have it. but how do you see this playing out when it comes to personhood laws following in potentially other states? >> sure. so because georgia is one of the first states to have one of these laws, i think people are going to be looking to how it plays out there before they adopt it. the arizona personhood amendment was declared unconstitutional by federal district court and so that particular provision is on
3:38 am
hold. where as the georgia personhood amendment at least so far, the federal challenges have failed. it is important to note, however, that there is a state challenge to this law, to not just to this provision, but to the abortion provision as well. and so it kind of remains to be seen whether or not this law is even in effect next year in 2023 when this tax provision would go into effect. >> that's guy point. and it is obviously a preview of a cascading of legal battles to come in various states. fred smith, appreciate you. thanks so much. >> thank you, amara. and a programming note, don't forget to watch the next episode of "united shades of america," w. kamau bell with a preview. >> there has been stories how some people have been mad at asian people about covid. have you heard of this? >> yeah, asian hate.
3:39 am
like when covid started, just started, you should harm asian people because they they they started it, even know they actually didn't. >> how does it make you feel when you hear these stories? >> american people don't understand how it feels because they never been through it. >> i heard about something, like, there was an old person that was asian, like, some people were, like, hitting her, like, it makes me feel like i'm also going to be attacked because of it. >> oh, no. i'm sorry. >> it is, like, if that happens, we're going to feel scared. >> of course. so what can we do? how can we change this? i don't want asian people to be scared to walk around. >> we can stand up for ourself. >> sometimes standing up for yourself sometimes makes the situation worse. >> does it help? if i stand up with you all, does that help? >> yeah. >> when if me and my friends stand up with you all? >> a critical issue in this
