bennett is reaching out to the other parties not committed to netanyahu. that means he may need leftist, even arab parties in his coalition to get the majority and topple the government. remarkably, this potential tectonic shift in israeli politics comes just days after the deadly conflict in gaza which boosted netanyahu's popularity. but he may find himself out of office if a majority is presented to the israeli president by a wednesday deadline. netanyahu has been prime minister for 12 years consecutively, 15 years total, longer than any prime minister in israel's history. arthel, back to you. arthel: mike if tobin, thank you. ben ben and crime is on the rise in several big cities this holiday weekend. since friday over a dozen people have been shot in chicago and at least seven in new york city.

♪ benjamin: president biden is calling a new texas voting bill wrong and un-american after the state's republican-controlled senate approved new efforts to tighten election rules in a sweeping overhaul. meanwhile on capitol hill, biden's a massive $6 trillion budget proposal is facing pushback from gop lawmakers. mark meredith is live in wilmington, delaware, with more. mark, what is president biden saying about this voting bill? >> reporter: well, benjamin, he's certainly not happy with what texas state lawmakers are looking at. he says they're trying to restrict the rights of texans, but lawmakers say they're trying to protect the integrity of the ballot box. changes to the way the state handles early voting, placing limits on time and lower occasions, more restrictions on absentee voting, it would strengthen the id checks made for absentee ballots but also grant poll watchers more access. the president weighed in on this on saturday with a statement saying that this was wrong and un-american, but not surprisingly, reaction to these

debates are down party lines. >> texas law is shameful, and republicans clearly in texas and throughout the country want to make it harder to vote and easier to steal an election. >> i think what the republicans here would tell you is that they're trying to make sure that the person voting is the person on paper so it's a legitimate vote devoid of fraud. >> reporter: that's the debate in texas. a much different one happening in the nation's capital. while congress is gone, they are still talking about the president's newly-released budget. it's going to cost them $6 trillion if it were to be approved, and already the white house is trying to sell skeptical lawmakers that now is the time to spend bill. we heard today from transportation secretary pete buttigieg. >> you can't get something for nothing, and in the near term we know that we need to make major investments in our roads, bridges, in our education, in our health. we can't afford not to do these

things. >> reporter: so we know what the president's proposing. what's going to become reality, that's the big question. this is a debate that's going to last several more months. the white house still talking with senate republicans about a potential deal on infrastructure, both sides still apart on a final number and what should be included as infrastructure. talks still ongoing. benjamin: mark meredith, thank you. arthel: well, last week microsoft announced it discovered another massive russian cyber attack against the u.s. government agencies, think tanks and other groups. the tech giant says the hacking group gained access to over 150 organizations through usaid, the federal government's aid agency. this russian government's hacking group is also believed to be behind last year's solarwinds hack. microsoft said in a blog post, quote: this wave of attacks

targeted approximately 3,000 e-mail accounts at more than 150 different organizations. while organizations in the united states received the largest share of attacks, targeted victims span at least 24 countries. let's bring in jamil jaffer, founder and executive director of the national security institute, also former chief counsel and senior adviser for the senate foreign relations committee. thanks for joining us. and in these cases, you want to start with why. why is russia doing this? why now? why the targets, and what do they want? >> well, look, arthel, i think part of what they're trying to do is to get in through the u.s. government through a usaid e-mail account. these are human rights organizations, organizations that operate around the world to provide humanitarian and other assistance to people that the u.s. wants to support and, for example, in russia, you know, we conduct activities whether it's in russia or eastern europe or the like. the russians want to know what's

going on, what are organizations doing, and they went in through a u.s. official account run by an outside company, and they were able to get in and now start exploiting these systems. arthel: exploiting them how? what do they want to do? >> once they're n you -- they're using a phishing attack, right in they're coming in, you click on the link, and then it downloads malware to your system. it allows them to take control of the computer, look around, identify other computers, move around and elevate their privilege so eventually they own the entire system and that network, and they can watch and what's happening and understand what the organization is doing. arthel: i want to play some sound from president biden in april. he says he told vladimir putin that the u.s. response to solarwinds' hack was scaled down to avoid a cycle of escalation are. let's listen and we'll talk about it. >> i was clear with president putin that we could have gone further, but i chose not to do

so. i chose to be proportionate. the united states is not looking to kick off a cycle of escalation and conflict with russia. we want a stable, predictable relationship. arthel: so if russia is playing a wicked game of offense, jamil, what's our defense? should president biden be concerned with kicking off a cycle of escalation? >> look, really important question, arthel. on the defensive side, you know, the best thing we can do is recognize the russians are coming into our supply chain. they're not just going to individual accompanies, they're going to the suppliers of those companies and to the government. so, one, we've got to defend together. we've got to bring companies together to defend. that's number one. on the offensive side, we've got to make clear to russia that when they engage in these activities, it's not just going to be sanctions, it's going to be more aggressive if they get more aggressive, particularly if they go destructive or disruptive. if they go down that year, we

need to be clear that we'll extract a very significant price to them. arthel: so the targets spanned 24 countries, so if the u.s. has to enlist allies to fend after these russian-backed cyber attacks in order to deliver these consequences that you're talking about, who does america call on? and conversely, who will support or protect russia? >> well, i think the most important thing for us to do is work with our european allies and allies in asia whether it's against china and russia. now, the challenge is in europe, you see the europeans and the u.s. sort of at loggerheads on silly things like antitrust and economic issues. with we need to focus on the larger threats, russia and china. with the g7 coming up, hopefully president biden will really get them to work with us on this issue. arthel: should president biden meet with president putin at the summit in a little over two

weeks? >> if he's going to do it, he can't just say, look, we're going to be proportional. if you continue this sort of drum beat of activity, we're going the make you pay a cost. for too long, you know, american prime ministers -- republicans and democrats -- have let russia get away with these things. hopefully, president biden is going to meet with president putin and makes that very clear. arthel: okay. we'll be watching because just as a layman, it doesn't seem like there's anything that's stopping him right now. so we'll see what will happen. jamil jaffer of the national security institute, thanks. >> thanks, arthel. e. benjamin: and president biden delivering remarks in a memorial day ceremony this morning. the president remembering his late son who served in iraq and died of cancer six years ago today. >> i note when beau made the grade of major in iraq, i said -- i've been in and out of iraq over 25 times.

ready to stand trial at this point in time you don't understand enough about the proceedings with a mental disease or defect at that moment that makes you to participate in -- it impossible to participate in your defense. so until that's resolved, she's not going to be able to go to trial on the first-degree murder charge. of. benjamin: who will have made that decision? is it likely to be overturned, and if it does stand, what does it mean for the rest of the case? >> so that determination's made by the trial judge, it generally depends, and in this case -- [audio difficulty] done by someone not affiliated with the prosecution or the defense. the court appointed that person, and that person came back with that finding. in those circumstances although the court can make its own interpretation, it has to rely on some evidence, and that was the evidence that it had. the prosecutors have said they are dissatisfied with those -- [inaudible] but they're unlikely to be

overturned. the court will take steps to try to help her to regain competence, help her mental health in the moment so that in the -- her part of the proceedings will pause, and the question is how that will affect her husband. finish. benjamin: let's say at some point she then becomes fit to stand trial, how much ed is there against her? what is a likelihood of a convictionsome. >> you know, i think we tell folks it's very difficult to know from the outside what we see in a press report that either prosecutors feel confident enough, i think there's a great deal of evidence -- circumstantial case. you're not going to have direct evidence of the murder, but this is a very strong circumstantial case, and i think prosecutors are going to feel fairly good the about their chances. benjamin: the reboot of the robert durst case into the disappearance of his first wife. now, is there the new evidence, or is this hunging on those

muttered -- hinging on the muttered words where he confessed to having killed all of them? >> well, it certainly started with that statement that he made that got recorded that he didn't know was being recorded. and in this circumstance you have an individual with good evidence about a second murder, and then you have an unexplained disappearance of his first wife. prosecutors are going to try to build a case. prosecutors can use other crimes and other bad acts evidence, and if he ever gets charged on that new case they've opened, they'll be able likely to use the evidence in the second case to say this is a person who has done this sort of thing before in exactly this manner. benjamin: and i know they're also trying to bring in evidence of domestic violence in that original case. and here's a quote from the westchester d.a. who said at the time of this alleged homicide occurred, we did not have the same understanding of domestic violence and how that kind of

abuse could play into a relationship and how it coulding, frankly, color law enforcement. and by that i mean police and prosecutors' perspectives. what impact did that have have on this case? >> i think it's incredibly refreressing to hear a prosecutor make a statement because it's unquestionably true that 10, 20, 30 years ago prosecutors and the police were very, very, i'd say, unprofessional about the way they handle9 domestic abuse. it was considered a household matter. they did see what may be small incidents back then could have led to a series of violence that could have resulted in murder. you will see an expert who will talk about a pattern of violence who put on evidence of that prior domestic assault and connect it to what likely was a murder and not just a disappearance. benjamin: 18 years ago they said it was a slam dunk case, and he got off easily that time. thank you so much for joining

help. >> reporter: and that's really the message from amvets to anyone watching today, anyone east watching this report on television -- either watching this report on it's or watching the riders ride by, that it's okay to get help. in the past, it was held at the pentagon, but not this year per covid-19. officials say they hope to work with the organization in the future. but no question, benjamin, an important day in washington d.c. back to you. benjamin: 22 veterans taking their lives every single day, it's a staggering number. such an important cause as we remember each and every one of them on this memorial day weekend. david, thank you so much. arthel? ♪ >> [inaudible] united states marine corps that made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in afghanistan on september the 9th, 2008.

>> i'm very grateful to operation gratitude for giving me, for giving me a chance to serve -- my son's service and sacrifice and to make sure that he's never, ever forgotten. arthel: and that was gold star mother janice chant whose son made the ultimate sacrifice in afghanistan. our next guest is a retired marine who continues his service to the country by giving back to those on the front lines through a volunteer organization that donates care packages to members of the military and their families as well as first responders here at home. heather is president and ceo of operation -- kevin is president and ceo of operation gratitude. tell us about what's in the care package and how the concept of operation gratitude was born. >> well, operation gratitude is the largest nonprofit in the country for hand-on volunteerism

in support of military veterans and first responders. since 2003 we've brought together the communities all across the country to donate their time, treasure and talent to our men and women in uniform around the world and here at home. and what makes our care packages so special is that they're individually addressed, and inside those care packages are starbucks coffees, knack and hygiene items but also hand-made scarves like the one i'm holding here from a grateful american, a handmade survival bracelet and then we get a million letters a year that we put in our care packages, a handwritten letter of appreciation. there's no huawei, no better way to honor our fallen heroes than to serve and support the men and women who follow in their footsteps. arthel: and share with us some of the feedback or reactions you get from those on the receiving end. >> well, i think they're touched that there are americans who appreciate their service. and when i use the word appreciation, i want everyone on

tv to understand this is not just about saying thank you for your service, it's about going a step beyond. so when a service member deployed overseas or a veteran here at home or a first responder receives one of our care packages, there's a recognition that people not only appreciate their service and the sense of the word gratitude, but they understand their service and sacrifice, that they empathize with it. this is not about sympathy and pity at operation gratitude. this is about creating understanding and building empathy and, ultimately, bridges between civilians and men and women in uniform. arthel: and you wrote an op-ed in "usa today" on how companies can get more involved in public service. in part you're saying that a nation united through service is achievable only with the inclusion of nonprofits that partner with the private sector and end going millions of -- engage millions of corporate volunteers at thousands of events each year. companies already present then influence and resources necessary to make a real impact.

it takes intentional collaboration with nonprofits, the vehicle for change, to turn potential into reality. so, kevin, you'd like more companies to get more involved in the nonprofit as well. what's your reasoning behind this particular drive? >> listen, there's been a call to action for national service. this discourse has been going on really for more than a decade. finish federally-funded programs that are americorps and these great programs that allow up to a million americans to volunteer each year are great. but we've got to go a step beyond that. we have to include nonprofits which are the vehicle for change. and think about the it, we have a million volunteers across the country. think about the multiplying effect for a nonprofit like ours that doesn't take a single dollar from taxpayers. it's all funded by corporations. and guess what? a big fraction of the

volunteers, that million volunteers that serve with us, are employees that serve with our service project. we have companies like starbucks and target and csx transportation and verizon and veterans united home owns. we're -- home loans. we're talking thousands of employees, not tens. is so we believe we should be part of the dialogue, we should have a seat at the table, and real change will be led by nonprofits in this national call to service. and if more and more people serve our country, we believe that is the greatest way to bridge divides and unite our nation. every american in and out of uniform from every walk of life shares the common bond of service. every american wants to serve their country, serve their communities and serve one another. and from recent events, from what we've seen over the last year, we need to stand by our military. we need to stand by our veterans, and we need to stand by our first responders. arthel: well said. if you want to get involved or for more information, operation
