the biden administration is involved now. it is spotlighting the push for an infrastructure bill. in a few hours, we will hear from president biden when he talks about the economy. his emphasis this week is on deal making. you may have heard republicans are a little busy, especially in the house. that's because there's a gop rift that is opening right now over congresswoman liz cheney. her leadership post in the house is at stake. what happens next could tell us a lot about the future of the party. a key supporter, republican congressman adam kinzinger, shared this interesting analogy. >> we have to have an internal look and a full accounting as to what led to january 6th. right now, it's basically the titanic. we are like in this -- in the middle of this slow sink. we have a band playing on the deck telling everybody it's fine. meanwhile, as i have said, donald trump is running around

trying to find women's clothing and get on the first life boat. >> with all that, we are seeing one bright spot for bipartisanship. it has to do with military moms. congresswoman and air force veteran chrissie hoolihan will talk about how lawmakers could come together to help some of our country's bravest women. we start with the crippling cyberattack on one of the country's largest pipelines. nbc's ken delanian is on this. our white house unit reported we expect president biden to talk about this attack during the afternoon comments on the economy. take us through what we know at this point so far about who likely carried out this attack and the concerns that it raises about our national security. >> reporter: gas prices are rising at this hour. this pipeline that serves some

50 million people remains shut down. a criminal group called dark side, which u.s. officials pointed to as a potential suspect in this case, has issued a statement or cyber security companies are pointing to a statement issued in its name that appears to take responsibility and says, we are in this to make money. we are not associated with a nation state. it's a new extortion group that has almost perfected extortion as a business model. they style themselves robinhood hackers. they will give a portion of the money to charity. they offer discounts to corporations that pay the ransom early. so people understand what we are talking about, ransomware is when hackers enter into a corporate network and lock up, encrypt or steal the data or both. they demand a ransom to free that data. in this case, this pipeline

company responded by shutting down all of their systems, because they didn't want it to spread. there's reporting that their billing systems may be out of whack. they can't bill for the gasoline that's going through the pipes. what's this exposes is a massive hole in our defenses of critical infrastructure. even though these are private companies, this is a national security issue. the flow of important fuel to much of the country. now you have the white house, fbi, dhs and even the national security agency getting involved in responding. >> ken, two questions. any idea how much longer it's going to take to get it back up and running? secondly, do most of these companies -- do they pay the ransom? do we know? >> they don't tend to disclose that. there's a sense that often they do pay the ransom. it's the quickest, easiest and relatively cheapest way to solve the problem.

in terms of the first question. no one has any idea when they will be back online. they will do it as soon as they can safely. they have to make sure that this ransomware doesn't migrate from the i.t. systems to the actual operational systems that control the pipeline flow. that could be a real problem. you don't want any malicious actors taking control of pipelines. back to you. >> this is scary on several levels. ken dilanian, keep us posted. let's turn to capitol hill and what's very likely one of liz cheney's final mornings in house republican leadership. a vote on whether she will keep her post is expected to happen wednesday. over the weekend, top republican in the house, kevin mccarthy, officially threw his support behind her replacement. >> we need a conference that's united. we need a chair delivering that message day in and day out and uniting the nation to make sure

that we are on the right footing going forward. >> do you support elise stefanik for that job? >> yes, i do. >> garrett haake is on capitol hill. cal perry is on congresswoman cheney's home turf in casper, wyoming. garrett, i will start with you. one of her most vocal supporters, adam kinzinger, he is speaking out. we are listening for any headlines this morning. he is holding a live event right now. he tweeted something that caught my attention. here is the tweet. despite what appears to be

kinzinger's best efforts, looks like congresswoman cheney is not going to be in her leadership role by the end of the week. tell us about the what says. what do we expect? >> reporter: her allies in the house republican conference are few and far between at this point. at least those willing to speak out publically. kinzinger perhaps the only major republican house member who is still out publically defending cheney and making i think what is her key point here about wanting a commission to look into january 6th, focus on what happened on that day and not look away from it. i think kinzinger's tweet is important in the context of cheney perhaps losing some of her microphone. but having a little backup on that core issue. about losing the microphone, we think that will happen on wednesday. the house gets back tomorrow night. the first opportunity for house republicans to meet as a group would come wednesday. all it takes is a motion from a member to have this vote. then it's purely a majority threshold to remove congresswoman cheney from her

leadership position. there's no indication that that won't happen. very few public allies remaining for congresswoman cheney in the house republican conference. what's not entirely clear is what's the time frame after that until would you have the next vote on who would replace her. congresswoman stefanik, the runaway favorite for the job, endorsed by the house republican leader and by former president trump, of course, whom this is really all about at the end of the day. >> garrett, what continues to surprise a lot of folks is if you look at her voting record, liz cheney voted in line more often with president trump than her apparent replacement. how are they explaining that on the hill? or are they? >> reporter: this is not about voting records. just as the trump presidency was often not about policy and votes. it's about this particular individual, former president trump, what is said about him, how he is discussed and how often. house republicans, even some of those who agree with liz cheney

on the former president's role on january 6th or his role going forward, don't want to talk about this. they would rather talk about the votes they did take or the votes they didn't take in stefanik's case with the former president than to be constantly relitigating january 6th. they will vote to remove cheney from her leadership position in the hopes that this issue goes away or is tamped down. from where i sit, i think that's unlikely. i think congresswoman cheney or private citizen cheney or whoever she ends up being, as long as she has the last name cheney, will get asked about this. we will probably cover it. >> yeah. that's a valid point there. mr. perry, you are in congresswoman cheney's neck of the woods there, talking to her constituents. i spent time at a gun show this weekend. what are you hearing from folks there in wyoming about their congresswoman? >> reporter: this was the up in arms guns show. we wanted to come to a red area.

casper is a red area. voted for trump three-quarters. voted heavily for liz cheney. times have changed. this is about the former president. when it comes to folks here in wyoming, certainly republicans that we have talked to, the bottom line is that they view this as a great betrayal. >> she does not represent the people of wyoming. >> she betrayed the people of wyoming. >> that's a traitor. >> she doesn't come out and visit. matt gaetz came out. he visited with every one of us. she's never done that. >> i'm a democrat. >> reporter: would you vote for liz cheney? >> i would. >> i ride fence on the parties. if i feel like she's making good choices and doing things for the right reasons, then i would support her. >> reporter: you heard there the lone democrat we were able to find about three hours south of here. it's interesting when you talk to republicans here about oid

identity politics. they view their loyalty to trump as equally paramount. folks who are democrat, they are in the minority. a number of them saying they feel very strange that they are supporting liz cheney, who many people told us is doing the minimum when it comes to telling the truth. >> fascinating, cal. garrett, meanwhile, quickly, the most recent catalyst for this division was january 6th, the insurrection. the inspector general testifying before the house today about the riot. what can we expect to hear from him? how critical is his testimony? >> reporter: this is an ongoing series of reports and testimony from the inspector general. today's hearing is about the counterintelligence failure and failure to detect the threat that was coming on january 6th and the severity of it. the important thing that will come out of this, congress hearing recommendations, mainly, creating, bolstering, turning the capitol police intelligence

division into a serious intelligence operation that wouldn't be caught off guard by something like january 6th again. >> garrett haake on the hill. cal perry spent the weekend in wyoming. thanks to both of you. this morning, police in several cities are dealing with the aftermath after a spree of gun violence this weekend. six people were killed during a shooting at a birthday party in colorado springs. it happened early sunday morning. investigators say the gunman who took his own life is believed to be a boyfriend of one of the victims. in new york city, three people were shot, including a 4-year-old girl after a gunman opened fire in times square. this one happened in broad daylight. police say the victims' injuries are not life-threatening. gun violence in new york has jumped 83% since this time last year. in missouri, two people were killed, three people were hurt in a shooting friday. one witness in missouri describing a, quote, full out

gang war. this all comes as the president urging congress to pass legislation to end the epidemic of gun violence. meanwhile, just a few hours from now, president biden set to speak about the economy. how will he use last jobs numbers? it's mother's day. the u.s. marked its busiest travel weekend since the pandemic started. we are live at a major u.s. airport for what it looks like for americans who are traveling again. an emotional reunion. the wife of a marine veteran who was deported under president trump is back in the united states and back with her family. why she is pushing for a pathway to citizenship for others.

about two hours from now, president biden expected to talk about the economy from the white house. nbc senior white house reporter shannon pettypiece at her post ahead of the president's remarks. i'm joined by jim messina, former white house deputy chief of staff under president obama. shannon, we will start with you. the last time we heard from the president, he was trying to ease concerns over the jobs report. what do we expect to hear from him today? >> white house officials are saying the president is likely to announce new steps he will put in place to try to help remove barriers for people getting back into the workplace and to tout the progress over the past three months. one thing we do expect to hear from the president is to push back on this notion that people are not going back to the workforce because of the enhanced unemployment benefits.

basically, this idea some economists and republican lawmakers have been making that people can make more on unemployment than going back to work. the president is going to push back on that and really attribute a lot of people sitting on the sidelines of the labor force to a lack of childcare or to concerns about their health and safety in going back to the workplace. in addition to the economy, i would just note we also expect to hear from the president about this pipeline cybersecurity hack. this has been a big priority over the weekend at the white house. they have put together a task force. they are planning on arrange of scenarios, including if this turns into something that goes beyond just short-term and that they are considering this an all hands on deck issue. expect to hear from the president about that as well. >> okay. jim, to shannon's point there, let's talk about this employment dilemma that we are seeing play

out across a lot of the country. a lot of job openings. not necessarily a lot of takers. republicans are arguing that people are making more on unemployment than they would at work, which is stalling job growth. that's one of the chief arguments we are hearing from republicans right now. how worried should democrats be about that, jim? >> they shouldn't be worried about it. here is the truth. the truth is, if you are a single mom at home, you need childcare, you need some sort of health care, you need a structure that allows you to go back to work. that's why the president's plan is exactly right in putting money into childcare, into pre-k, into things we know can holistically support a family. it's about being able to go back to work with the safety and comfort to know your kids are okay. there's more we gotta do. everyone agrees on that. the job numbers proved that we gotta continue to push.

last week, the republicans were saying the economy is too hot. we have inflation. we need to slow this down. this week, they have a different excuse. the truth is, they want to stop any progress under the biden administration. team biden isn't going to let them. >> you mention those checks. president biden making a push for bipartisan support for his plans, especially for infrastructure. it seems like it makes more progressive democrats nervous, specifically sanders. he thinks the country cares more about results than who gets the results. saying, frankly, when people got a $1,400 or check or $5,600 check, they didn't say, i can't cash this check because it was done without any republican votes. jim, how does president biden -- how does he thread this needle? >> well, look, the president has been very clear about what he has to do here.

what he has to do is see if he can work together with republicans. but if they won't, he is going to move forward. that's the kind of guy he is. he wants to lead with bipartisanship. but he is not going to slow down his agenda. i think that's the back and forth, the toggle of the switch that he has to do. frankly, it's the right thing. there are places he can work with republicans. that's great. but on these big things like the american families plan, the tax plan, if they're not going to deal with him, then he has to move forward. people out there just want some progress here. they are worried about their jobs. they are worried about the economy. they want a president who is focused on that. that's what they have. >> jim messina, shannon pettypiece, thanks to you. we saw mother's day hugs this weekend as families all over this country are starting to see each other again.

this morning, the cdc is reporting an interesting side effect of this pandemic. the flu has virtually disappeared. here are the latest facts on this monday. this year, less than 2,000 flu cases have been confirmed. for perspective, the united states would see more than 200,000 cases of flu by this time. experts warn this could lead to a worse flu season next year. we are up to more than 152 million americans that have

gotten at least their first dose of the vaccine. we are also now seeing a decline in vaccines requested by states. both washington state and north carolina have cut their vaccine orders by 40%. this mother's day marked the busiest travel weekend since the pandemic started. tsa reporting 4.8 million americans checked through their checkpoints since friday. this year, that's a big hike. this same time last year, we saw 585,000 people going through tsa. stephanie gosk is at la guardia airport for us this monday morning. on sunday alone, the tsa screened more than 1.7 million people. who are you seeing there? >> reporter: yeah. it's remarkable. isn't it? it's not a normal day for la

guardia. but there's activity here. what you saw over the weekend was this first real national holiday. the biggest so far since vaccines became widely available. people taking advantage of the opening up of some of the safety guidelines to get on a plane or get in their car and go visit those family members that they haven't seen for a while. i can't get enough of those videos of people seeing each other after a year and all the emotion that goes into all of that. we will start seeing more of that. you had over the weekend dr. fauci signaling there could be changes to some of the guidelines for mask wearing, specifically indoors. what we have seen, craig, is this line being drawn in the sand by the cdc on what those people who are vaccinated can do and those who are unvaccinated, what they still shouldn't do. you will see that happen more with this change in possible upcoming change in guidelines indoors. i would imagine you would see some new things that people who

are vaccinated can do, for instance, going inside in an area where they are socially distanced, not having to wear a mask. that will do a couple of things. it will make life better and more normal for those vaccinated. it may also give a gentle push to those who may still be reluctant to get a vaccine or feeling hesitant. the other thing to watch for this week is a possible emergency authorization for the pfizer vaccine for kids ages 12 to 15. a survey by the kaiser family foundation found that there are still 19% of parents who say they won't get their children vaccinated. another third of parents are saying they will wait and see, craig. 15% of parents say they are only going to vaccinate their children if schools require it. i bet we will hear more about that over the summer on whether schools are thinking about that and how parents are going to react to it. craig? >> that will be the next great debate in this country.

stephanie gosk at la guardia with more proof that america is returning to normal. it's not just travel. this morning, we are seeing a big step toward normalcy at the new york stock exchange. this is a live look at the world's foremost trading floor. it is loosening restrictions. more traders are getting back to their desks. ali knows the stock exchange. he is there this morning in new york city. what's the mood like as more people are back on the floor this morning? what are these looser restrictions going to mean? >> reporter: good morning. good to see you. what you see here is nobody outside the stock. change, the way it should be. they are inside during the trading day. what you got here is rules that have been loosened a little bit to allow more traders and some media. we are not there yet. that's why we are outside. the way this worked is last

march 23, 2020, they shut down. it reopened in may at reduced capacity. now what they have said is that if you are fully vaccinated, you can come in here, you can take your mask off while you seat, if you are six feet away from someone. if everybody in your firm has been vaccinated, you can increase the number of staff you have on the floor. until now, it's running at about 50% capacity. it's not at 100% today because the firms are trying to figure this out. basically, if your firm can figure it out and you are vaccinated, you can start to come back to work at the new york stock exchange. what does it mean? there's been a lot of trading that occurs electronically. for a couple of months in 2020, this was all electronic. most trading is electronic these days anyway. the new york stock exchange will argue there's stability to the trading system to have real people interacting with each other. that's debatable, but that's the argument they make. fundamentally, it's reflective of this area of wall street, of the investment community and the fact that there's some normalcy

returning. it feels good. if you look at the pictures from the floor, people seem to be in a good mood. maybe because they are getting back to work, maybe because they are vaccinated, maybe because the stock market is up again. another record for the dow is likely to be set today. it's interesting. the s&p is not up right now. the dow is. that's because the dow is influenced by energy companies. those stocks are up because of the pipeline shutdown. there's sense they might make more money as gas prices go up. a pretty good mood on the floor of the stock exchange and in corporate america as it looks like a little bit of normalcy is coming back. craig? >> people are flying again. traders are trading from the floor again. ali, thank you. more signs that america continues to reopen. could congress finally be getting closer to passing that massive police reform package? south carolina congressman jim clyburn dropped a big hint about where democrats are willing to compromise.

we will take a look at that. after a string of attacks on asian-americans, a new generation of activists are taking to the streets. we will have a special look at their push for change. >> our culture set, be quiet, put your head down, don't make waves. all of us thought, that's over. we have to come out. we have to speak now. rapid wrinkle repair® smooths the look of fine lines in 1-week, deep wrinkles in 4. so you can kiss wrinkles goodbye! neutrogena® sales are down from last quarter but we are hoping things will pick up by q3. yeah...uh... doug? sorry about that.

failed. that leads to violence, by the way, long-term. versus the truth. it's amazing how many of my colleagues claim to likewise be christians but are okay with just accepting and supporting these lies. when i went to sunday school, it was about tell the truth. >> adam kinzinger a few moments ago at a pre-planned event at the national press club. that vote on congresswoman liz cheney's future is expected on wednesday. she is not expected to keep her post. another big story on the hill this morning, one of the top democrats in the house just gave a big hint on where his party may be willing to xroe compromise on police reform. they may compromise on qualified immunity.

that's a legal doctrine that has largely shielded law enforcement and other local officials from liability in civil suits. this is part of what congressman clyburn said. >> if we don't get qualified immunity now, then we will come back and try to get it later. i don't want to see us throw out a good bill because we can't get a perfect bill. >> sources tell our hill reporters that negotiations for a senate bill should pick back up this week as lawmakers return to washington. the house, as you probably recall, passed the george floyd justice in policing act back in march with no republican support. the rise in attacks against asian americans is leading to a new wave of activism in this country. nbc's vicky wynn talked to some of these people.

what are you hearing from young people about how they are fighting back against the hate in their community? >> good to be with you. i am hearing they are sick and tired of being obedient, of being told to keep their head down and be quiet. you know what they are doing? they are harnessing social media. the platforms that are out, this wasn't available to you and me growing up. it's really inspiring to see how these young people are using social media to amplify their message. >> we are furious. >> stop asian hate. >> enough is enough. >> reporter: from new york to los angeles, houston to chicago, rallies to stop asian hate filling streets across the country. the aapi community activating after a string of unprovoked attacked targeting asian-americans. >> we have to stand up for our parents, for their grandparents. >> reporter: a new generation is leading the way.

>> thank you for coming out here today and supporting this cause. >> reporter: ashlynn is using her voice. turning her focus from fashion design to stopping asian hate after seeing attacks on elders in her san francisco area community. >> inspired by the barkley protests. i wanted to do a rally. she said, okay. that's how i became an activist. >> reporter: her mom was born in hong kong and came to america with her family when she was a teen. when you were her age, had you gone to your mom and said, i want to do a rally, who would she have said? >> my mom would say at the time, you should focus on your studies. you are a student. you are 13. that's what you should be doing. >> reporter: what was that like to see so many different generations showing up after your daughter put the call out? >> just so surprising. we have all broken outof our bags, what our culture said. be quiet. put your head down, don't make

waves. all of us thought, that's over. we have to come out. we have to speak now. >> loud and proud and asian-american. >> reporter: this woman is the only asian-american educator at her school. >> in 2016, more black and brown men and women were killed as a result of police brutality. seeing that on my students when we returned from summer break was very heartbreaking. >> reporter: she started overcoming cultural barriers of her own. >> we have been told that we don't matter, that we are silent, we are just a minority myth. >> reporter: what do you think about the conversations kids and parents in an asian-american community are having that never happened before? >> for my parents, they are grappling with the idea of me speaking out. they are not big fans of it, to be really honest.

i am lucky to be here where my parents have sacrificed so much. as a result, i have to speak out for them. >> reporter: her example has been powerful. you can see it during this surprise run-in with a student she taught from pre-k to fifth grade. he is taller than she is now. how do you feel when your students give us a hug like that in. >> it's amazing. honestly, everything that i want them to remember. not the content that i teach but just how i make them feel, i hope. >> reporter: it's those young students she's hoping to inspire. >> you are worthy of safety, respect and love. >> reporter: by showing them how people of diverse backgrounds can come together and fight racism. does that give you hope? >> so much hope. it's incredible to see the power of their voice. when i see kids connect with each other about this, i feel truly hopeful about the future. >> reporter: asian-american activists are raising money to fight racism.

>> activism is fill philanthrop donating money, participating. >> reporter: this woman is part of a non-profit. >> i believe there's no greater time than now to work together with allies in other communities to create an america that is multicultural and looks to the future and creates a country we want to be a part of and live in. >> reporter: part that was money will go towards funding education in public schools to teach about the asian-american historical perspective. as parents talk about ways to have these conversations with their kids, our teacher in the story says, affirmation is important. she says, you matter, i matter, we matter. it opens the doors to having these conversations and helping kids feel like it's okay to ask these tough questions and that they belong. craig?

>> that teacher also talked about a concept that some folks watching and listening might not be familiar with. this model minority myth. what is that? >> you and i talked about this. it's the idea that asian-americans are seen as a model. we are not a struggling community because if you look at averages, the income is higher or education level is higher. if you break down how diverse it is, you see it's a minute. it's used to pit different minority groups against each other and to overall increase divisiveness. the idea is, look at people based on who they are and their own experiences. let's not put a blanket judgement, you are not struggling because of x, y or x. that's important for people to understand. >> as do i. continue doing great work

[szasz] we take care of ourselves constantly; it's important. we walk three to five times a week, a couple miles at a time. - we've both been taking prevagen for a little more than 11 years now. after about 30 days of taking it, we noticed clarity that we didn't notice before. - it's still helping me.

i still notice a difference. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. it was a mother's day hug like no other. alejandra juarez, mother, a wife of a marine veteran. she was deported under president trump's zero-tolerance policy and she has reunited with her family. this family wants their reunion to be the start of something bigger, i understand. what's their goal? >> the start of something bigger, craig. so first of all, she returned under a humanitarian parole

which was a special permit to return to the united states, but new legislation would have to pass in order for her to gain legal residence and be able to stay in the united states. we had words from her when she was at the airport moments after she was able to hug her family. >> this is what healing looks like. this is what this president is doing, healing the country. thank you, president biden, god bless you. thank you. >> so alejandra thanking president biden after receiving this, and she's here with the help of congressman darren soto who has introduced a bill for people like her. she is married to a combat marine veteran to allow them to return after they have been deported to protect the patriot spouse's act, that is a small number of people and it is still hope for the 11 million undocumented in the country and

we have bills that have passed in the house of representatives and one to help the 600,000 dreamers in the country and another one for people who are recipients of the tps, the temporary protective status and the farmworkers. all of these waiting to go to the senate and what it is, it's a symbol for legislators in washington to take action and to try to help these 11 million people living in the country undocumented. president biden wants to negotiate and he wants to work with them to create a legal path to citizenship and it's a legal residentses if those living in the country, craig? >> guad venegas, a special hug, indeed. >> there is also a brand-new bill in the house and sponsored by a republican and democrat to do more to support moms in the military? >> i want to bring a congresswoman who introduced the bill on friday and democrat chrissy hoolihan and she's also

a congresswoman. the military moms matter act. it would expand paternity leave and convalescent leave. it gives new moms 12 moms to meet their fitness test. it expands pelvic health services, post-partem depression and anxiety screening, as well. why is this needed, congresswoman? ? thanks for having me. this is a very important bill that addresses some of the things i struggled with when i was serving active duty 30 years ago and it is to welcome new members to our military families and so many of these aspects are things that are common sense, frankly. my mother told me it takes nine months to deliver. it should take at least nine months to recover your body. this part of the bill talks about that problem where we are being asked to undergo physical

fitness tests and weight requirements and we really auto to make sure that after a baby is delivered that the woman, a soldier or sailor, albeit, is able to meet those requirements and has enough time for her body to recover and recover safely and it allows for us to have the right amount of time to adjust for a family member and this is for men and women to give 12 weeks of paternity or maternity leave which is consistent to what we have with our federal employees, as well as a result of actions that we took in the 116th congress. so there's a lot of different stuff moving parts of this and making sure we're taking care of our soldiers, sailors and marines. it's really, really an airman, and an important piece of legislation as you mentioned bipartisan and i am hopeful that we'll be able to push this forward. >> have you heard from military leadership yet about the legislation? what do they say about it? >> yes, indeed.

i had the chance to meet with the pennsylvania guardsmen in d.c., the women who are part of our guard and talked about this exact issue. this was one of the things that may asked for help on was addressing the problem that they were having when they were delivering children and amongst those problems this bill addresses and i was in fort hood and had the opportunity to talk to officers about this particular issue and just about the struggle of the fact that 20% or so of our armed services or people wearing uniforms are women and we want to make sure that we're welcoming and inclusive of them. that's a growing population is and we anticipate that it will be 30% and it is my hope that it will become 51% which is the number of people who are women in our general population, at large. >> congresswoman, chrissy
