tv Andrea Mitchell Reports MSNBC May 20, 2021 9:00am-10:01am PDT
9:00 am
good day, everyone with breaking news in washington. nancy pelosi scolding people opposing the 1/06 commission. there were onners in the house joining democrats. >> i say to my republican friends, and i do have them, take back your party. it's interesting to see that 35 members coming forth. i am proud of them. it is recognition this was a bipartisan product. >> the second general says if there is a hell on earth it is lives of children in gaza.
9:01 am
after there was rebuttal of president biden's call for cease-fire. there are reports of possibly by tomorrow. and next week is the year anniversary of george floyd's death. family finally got to see video after filing suit. it was said he died from his car hitting a tree. the video appears to show him being punch, choked and tasered. joining me now is garrett, ashley, joe, and brendan. garrett, first to you. you were in the room questioning the speaker. we are about to hear from mccarthy starting his
9:02 am
presentation on the hill. what is happening today, what is next and what are the prospects in the senate? >> i think the 35 votes in favor of this commission coming from republicans surprised republican leaders. they thought the numbers would be a little lower. they hoped to keep a jail break that would have encouraged senate members to vote in favor of it as well. you heard speaker pelosi voting for truth and justice as she is calling it. i was talking to kevin mccarthy and asked him why he thought 35 members were voted for this. and he was whipping against it. he said ask them. i asked dusty johnson who voted in favor. he said we are going to get to the bottom of what happened january 6.
9:03 am
i would rather have an independent commission do it rather than nancy pelosi or adam schiff. you have mitch mcconnell coming out in opposition of creation of it. but independent commission are independent contractors and likely to make their own decisions. >> you have seen house leaders including nancy pelosi and others holding their caucuses together for votes. what does it say on kevin mccarthy's hold on his conference, the power of trump and his desire to be speaker as he desires two years from now. >> 35 was a surprising number, but not overwhelming. they kept most of the conference. i think where this went sideways
9:04 am
was the top republican who negotiated this without a signoff by kevin mccarthy. this broke down and generally there is better communication between the two. there is politics going on with the republicans. but this could have been done and should have been done four months ago. i think it's ridiculous we are still here. it was four months ago that republicans introduced a bill that was largely like what we had. instead of running with that bipartisan approach, nancy pleasity insisted it had to be a democratic majority. there was a window where republicans were at least willing to investigate this, talk about this, maybe potentially move on from donald trump. we are past that. republicans are moving back to their normal position of wanting
9:05 am
to defend him. there was a missed opportunity to have a bipartisan commission. i don't know if we will end up with one or not. >> i acknowledge pelosi's stands initially was not a 9/11 type commission. but president trump did go to mar a lago days after january 6. let's listen to kevin mccarthy. he asked if he would be willing to testify about what he told the former president on january 6. >> you spent four months playing politics. on that time an officer got killed across from the capitol. she wanted the scope to do that as well. you have two committees in the senate already doing their investigation. i think in two weeks the report
9:06 am
will be back although pelosi wasted this time. they are looking to give $10 million to protect the capitol. and they have arrested 445 people, probably another 100 coming. that's the type of work to be done. those who caused it should be held accountable. i think a pelosi commission is a lot of politics. >> the commission says it can look at any influencing factors. that would be an influencing factor. >> i have a differing opinion and legal counsel does, too. i sent speaker pelosi two letters and she never communicated. we looked at what happened on
9:07 am
9/11 and what the bill for that was and i think that would be important here as well. >> do you think it's important for members to be voting on a commission that they might have to testify for? >> no, because who knows what they will do with that commission. >> everybody have a nice day. >> kevin mccarthy ducked the question before we jumped in. let's talk about that. he is talking about the time that elapsed. but during that time he was down there in mar a lago, he had already aligned himself with donald trump. he wanted to go back to protests and when congressman was injured at the baseball game a couple
9:08 am
years back. so for them to say it was that period when it was pelosi playing politics is, frankly, a cover up. >> republicans have said clearly, senators as well, that they don't want to relitigate what happened on january 6. they said is out loud, that it's not good for them politically and that as they head into beyond, they want to focus on president biden's agenda and not former president trump citing insurrection. that's not exactly true. across the country they are more than happy to relitigate president trump's false and baseless claims that the election was stolen, that votes were flipped, just look what is happening in arizona. so there is a willingness for
9:09 am
republicans to look at the parts they consider essential and whitewash as a day of tourism january 6. >> liz cheney's tweet after the vote. we can see the images. she is showing herself on that day, january 6 was a searing experience for republicans and democratic members. one of the congressmen who said it was just an average tourist day was trying to buttress the door and stop the rioters from getting in. >> as ashley was pointing out, there is an effort underway by republicans to whitewash what happened. no question about it. and no question it comes back to donald trump.
9:10 am
an investigation into january 6 is an investigation into the former president and an investigation into a number of congressmen and the role they played going into this. of course they would oppose this. i don't think there is a lot of affection for donald trump after january 6, but they know he will hold the keys to next congress. liz cheney has bigger points than that. the rest of the gop are focused on donald trump and the fact they think they need him to take the house in 2022. >> let's watch congressman tim ryan on the floor. >> to 90% of our friends on the other side of the aisle, incoherence, no idea what you are talking about.
9:11 am
you chased the former secretary of state all over the country, spent millions of dollars, we have people hitting capitol police with lead pipes and we can't get bipartisanship. what else has to happen in this country? >> joe, you worked there and know how frustrating it can be. >> it was very powerful and real. no script involved there, no memorization. i feel sorry for kevin mccarthy to watch the leadership seep out of his body. it's almost like being under a rock. i don't deny there was
9:12 am
communication with kahko i think once he heard from trump that he wanted it killed, that's the way he went. i think this was one of the most monumental days of the century. i don't think history will look kindly upon the republican majority on this commission. >> what happened yesterday and in the senate is about what former president trump did that day. you were the first to report, you and your colleagues at "the washington post" for the hours that transpired when kevin mccarthy was calling and pleading with the president. others were as well. there were all those calls to the pentagon that went basically ignored from pelosi.
9:13 am
hoyer, mccarthy and mitch mcconnell. >> that's right. there is a six-hour period when the post and others went back and tried to reconstruct. in that press conference with leader mccarthy you just showed, it would be tricky for a number of these republicans. we know that kevin mccarthy was calling donald trump asking for help. we know that vice president pence was trying to get defense officials to call up the national guard, to get president trump to call up the national guard. we know that congressman greg pence was there that day and joined his brother in sheltering in place while the angry mob called for his head. so a lot of those would be called on to testify before a commission.
9:14 am
>> one other point. ashley brings up greg pence who voted against the commission investigating the angry mob that was shouting "hang mike pence" and built a gallows as they went through the halls. not to be forgotten by us. the growing conflict in the middle east. richard engel has the latest from tel aviv. and what governor greg abbott is doing to prohibit mask wearing in schools as the state death toll continues to tick up. death toll continues to tick up. from the world's #1 selling nerve care company. nervive contains alpha lipoic acid to relieve occasional nerve aches, weakness and discomfort.

9:18 am
israel continued to pound gaza with air strikes. even as there is talk of a limited cease-fire in the next 24 hours. but the humanitarian issues in gaza causes outrage. richard engel is in tel aviv. richard, how soon do you think there could be a cease-fire. there is a council meeting according to reporting. >> it is said that cease-fire has been agreed to. this is according to al jazeera. it is reported that the egyptians have agreed to
9:19 am
immediate a cease-fire. in israel they are going into a security cabinet meeting chaired by the prime minister netanyahu. it could be at the end of that security council meeting they announce a cease-fire, or not. one does seem to be in the offsing because israeli officials have been briefing local and foreign press that they want a deal to happen and that that framework seems to be at the end of today or tomorrow. we seem to be close. how close we are is still a little up in the air. i think we will get more clarity in the next hour or overnight. >> a number of things have changed. there is more opposition in the u.s. senate, democrats as well as republicans concerned about the violence, concerned about
9:20 am
gaza. it's hard to say who started it. it's never that easy to understand. it has been going on for generations, as you know. the united states is getting more active. the president is calling regional leaders. the vice president has talked to king abdullah a strong ally. they are beginning to talk to some of the regional players. the secretary of state has been talking to egypt all along. they don't have an ambassador or high level envoy. there has been a strange vacuum of u.s. leadership here. >> there seems to be a lot of pressure on israel and a lot of reason for israel to back off. part of the security cabinet happening will be a briefing from the head of the israeli armed forces. he will talk about the targets
9:21 am
that have been hit and targets still remaining. there have been numerous reports that most of the targets have already been hit. like all militaries, the israeli military studies what it wants to attack, the leaders, well before the strikes take place. it seems like today, even as these discussions were taking place, after a lull in the afternoon, things picked up. it seemed like both sides were trying to achieve their last minute goals. israeli military trying to tick off some last minute things before the cease-fire goes into effect. and hamas trying to show it was strong and didn't come to the table on its knees. both sides have a lot of reasons why they can walk away and feel
9:22 am
like they accomplished something but at enormous cost. about 1600 people injured in gaza, hundreds injured in israel and about 230 killed in gaza and about a dozen in israel. >> thank you so much, richard. joining me now is our ambassador to israel and the u.s. ambassador to the united nations is taking the microphone to outline the u.s. position. we will bring you any headlines out of her talk. do you think there could be a cease-fire within 24 hours? >> what are you hearing from jerusalem? >> one factor i haven't heard so far and that's domestic israeli
9:23 am
policy and opinion. there was a poll taking yesterday that showed that 80% of israelis are against a cease-fire. today the poll was about 72%, that's a margin of error. the vast majority of israelis are against cease-fire. it is not that they love war or inflicting damage on gaza, it's just that israelis are fed up with round after round that ends incluesively with a cease-fire that enables hamas to replenish its missile supplies and get an infusion of cash. we will be in the same place in a couple years. by that time hamas's arsenal will be bigger and pack a bigger punch. israelis have had it and want the military to restore to a
9:24 am
level where hamas will think not once but 50 times before doing this again. >> a lot of the agreements in 2014 were access to markets that were not realized by hamas. whatever precipitated this engagement, it continues with both sides over and over again. five times in the last decades. you are right it is going to happen again much how do you stop it? it is not just weaponry. you can't overwhelm them with force nor can you overwhelm them firing into israel. netanyahu did not have 80% support three weeks ago. he was on his last leg and now he has come back riding this
9:25 am
wave. hamas is more powerful than ever among the palestinians who have such weak leadership on the west bank. >> i understand your points. we didn't open fire on gaza. they opened fire on us. as of this morning they have fired more than 4,000 rockets at our neighborhoods, children, bombshellters. we didn't start this. hamas started this. that's the case every single round. israel didn't start any of them. how does it end? hamas is an extremist organization dedicated to ridding israel. it blames the jews for the outbreak of the boo bonnic
9:26 am
plague. hamas had enough money to invest in thousands of miles of tunnels and missiles. we spent billions in defense, putting in an iron dome system. i see at the bottom of my screen the number of palestinian dead, but it is all looped together because the vast majority of those are terrorists, and you are not signifying the 20-plus palestinians killed by the 400 rockets fired by hamas that fell on them themselves. israelis are fed up defending themselves against war criminals. if we are getting blamed like
9:27 am
this and tar tarnished or blamed like this, we may as well keep fighting. >> the casualties are women and children in the hospitals. not just the hamas fighters you have killed. i have to dispute that. they fired the rockets first for sure. but what precipitated that in part was firing rubber bullets into a mosque on friday evening during prayer. i am not saying there is an equivalent but you know the symbolic importance of that. >> we know exactly how many people have been killed and terrorists with hamas rockets. we do know this, i am sorry. >> it was disputed in the
9:28 am
general assembly by united nations. you may not think that is a fair forum for israel. now france and germany are leading the charge. there is international criticism. back to my first question, do you think there will be a cease-fire in the next 24 hours? >> i don't know. i know israeli domestic opinion is very much set against it it. i can understand why. my own family which does not always agree with me politically are all against it. they have young children and want to create a situation where they don't have to relive this nightmare every several years. they want deterrence restored. they understand what is happening in international opinion. we understand the casualties by
9:29 am
hamas using civilians as shields. they fire rockets with the express purpose of massacring them. we cannot afford that. we have to defend ourselves and will continue to defend ourselves against an enemy not seeking a two-state solution, it's seeking to annihilate us, period. >> let's just say that the civilians are suffering on both sides. breaking news from capitol hill. the house just voted on the $1.9 billion supplement al bill. any surprises the way this vote
9:30 am
broke down? >> this vote almost failed not just because of republicans who voted against it, but democrats voted against it. it was 213-212. the sixth member of the progressive squad had problems with the substance. they wanted more reforms before they gave $1.9 billion to security up here. so the compromise seemed to be that three of those members ended up voting against the bill. three voted present so it would not defeat the legislation. the bottom line is this bill limps across the capitol to the senate where the fate is unknown. our team is told that some senators don't think a
9:31 am
supplemental is necessary. the story line is not over. i will be watching how it develops very closely. >> thank you very much for that. extraordinary times there at capitol hill. yesterday a meeting in iceland setting the table for a summit in russia and concession on something russia wants. president biden is waving sanctions on a pipeline being built between russia and germany. the decision is getting a lot of pushback here at home. one of several emerging democratic challenges to the biden administration foreign policy. i am joined by jean. thank you for being with us, senator. you are against the completion of the nordstream 2.
9:32 am
>> it would further consolidate russia's hold on europe. that's not good for europe or for the united states. that's why i have opposed it. the governor of germany may be for it, but there are other members of parliament who are opposed to it. people in germany opposed to it. just because chancellor merkel supports it doesn't mean all of germany supports it. >> it does hurt ukraine. it would bypass them. >> absolutely. as we are trying to encourage more western reforms in ukraine, it is not helpful. >> you are also leading a bipartisan effort to support workers who have received brain injuries, cia and others, from
9:33 am
directed energy attack. first in havana and then china, moscow and even some reports here in the u.s. that we have not confirmed. does we have to do a better job of taking care of our own? >> we are looking at bills to help them. sadly, this is the third bill i have introduced and we still see a lack of coordination for all of those people attacked. we see too much information not being shared, either with congress or the public. i think that's problematic. >> there are reports that some of our service members in syria, this has spread to military in syria and elsewhere, possibly
9:34 am
from raus yeah -- russia. are those reports accurate? and russia has the most experience in this type of weapon, that russia is responsible? >> we have seen news reports about the attacks in syria. i can't confirm or deny it because that information has been classified. that's why we need more information available to congress and the public. russia is the most likely subject. this came up yesterday. the chairman said not much happens in cuba without the cuban government knowing what is going on. to suggest they knew nothing about the attacks in cuba
9:35 am
stretches incredible. >> they did appoint people to be in charge of a real investigation into what had not been done under the previous administration. what's the progress so far? >> well, we have seen some progress and i applaud the biden administration for recognizing this is a serious concern and beginning to work on it. sadly, there is lack of coordination. it is still not clear to those people who have been attacked -- at least to us in congress -- whether those people attacked are able to get the care and benefits they deserve. we heard from one official that they had access to walter reed and could get care there. we have heard from other officials that is not assured. that's one reason that senator collins and i introduced this
9:36 am
legislation today. >> is there any evidence there has been similar attacks here in the united states? >> there have been news reports to that effect. again, there have been some classified briefings on that. again, i can't speak to that. >> understood. i also wanted to ask you about the approval of the sale of precision-guided weapons to israel. something that has always gotten bipartisan support in the past. now an increasing number want to put conditions on it. it may be too late. it would have to be approved by both houses and the president could veto it, but it might condition future sales. where do you stand on that? >> i think we have time to address that. the immediate need is for a cease-fire. what we are seeing in the middle
9:37 am
east is a failure of leadership on both sides. we need to see an end to the rockets being fired by hamas and rockets being fired by israelis. i hope that president biden will take a strong stand on that. he has talked about it some, but i hope that he will be even stronger in saying it's time for a cease-fire. >> thank you very much. it's always good to see you. >> texas governor greg abbott signed a new bill with an almost total ban on abortions. what it means for women's rights and what is coming ahead. women's and what is coming ahead ♪ i wa♪ ♪ i want to feel you be proud ♪ ♪ i want to hear your beating heart ♪ ♪ live out loud ♪

for agencies. it goes into effect for schools next week. what the governor has done is prohibited any municipality, school district or state agency from being able to create their own mask mandates going forward. should those entities violate the executive order, they could face a fine up to $1,000. he has pointed to loco individual numbers across texas, a 3.8% positive rate right now. he pointed to sunday which was the first day no covid related death was reported in the entire state of texas. on the other side there is concern from parents of students going back to school which no longer have the authority to enact their mask rules themselves. we spoke to one woman who has a daughter in a suburban dallas
9:42 am
elementary school. what she has to say about the new executive order. >> experts were saying between 50 and 80% of experts have to be vaccinated for herd immunity. we will never get 50%. taking the mask off now we lose all hope. >> as of right now statewide more than 50,000 texans have lost their lives to covid-19. here in dallas county alone, that number surpassed 4,000 individuals today. >> at the abortion law, one of the most restrictive in the country, it would prohibit abortions as early as six weeks. private citizens can enforce this by suing providers and families. it goes against roe v. wade.
9:43 am
it's pretty striking. >> i spoke to some abortion rights advocates yesterday. for many they said six weeks is too early to tell if they are pregnant. they think it was unconstitutional and a public health threat for that reason. on top of that six-week ban put into effect september 1 which is when the law would go into effect, there is also the legal aspect you mentioned as well. advocates say they are fearful that private citizens could become enforcers of this law going forward with the ability to take -- file civil lawsuits against anyone they feel aided or abetted -- that's the language -- in the abortion procedure. more than 90% of texas counties do not currently have clinics
9:44 am
that perform abortions. within those counties they have more than 40% of the population. so you can understand the difference playing out there and why this is such viewed as a critical issue going forward. we do know that right now there is plans, advocates say, to challenge this in court. there is another mississippi case that the supreme court has already decided they would hear this year. we anticipate a decision on that come early next year. >> morgan, thanks so much to you. new body cam video coming to light showing the brutal death of a black man at the hands of state police in louisiana. what the family is saying. why the footage is only being seen publicly now, two years later. that's next. later. that's next. see, visible is wireless with no surprise fees, legit unlimited data, powered by verizon

9:49 am
the state trooper briefly dragging him through the dirt by his ankle shackles. after release it is said this was not authorized. the arrest is the subject of a federal civil rights investigation. joining us now is blaine alexander and peter alexander. blaine, first you, this deadly arrest took place two years ago. why did it take this long? why did they say he was killed in a car crash when they got to the morgue and said that diagnosis was left -- was questionable. >> those exact two questions are the questions family has been asking for quite sometime. i just spoke by phone with the civil rights attorney representing the family.
9:50 am
they said they filed requests, met with the governor of louisiana, trying to get release of that full body video. the family filed a wrongful death lawsuit last year. it was soon after this we learned federal investigation. but it wasn't until we saw this video that was released by the associated press that we're getting a clearer picture of what happened last night. at least according to some of the body cameras activated that night. another thing we're also learning is a piece of audio, something obtained by the associated press last year, which you can hear one of the officers who was present actually recounting the arrest that night. take a listen to this.
9:51 am
that trooper has since died. he died in a single car crash last year and it happened just a few hours after learned he was going to be fired for his role that night. at least two other troopers present that day are still employed by louisiana state police. we know one is on administrative leave for excessive force. they have been speaking to the officials and spoke to the fbi, and expecting to see a grand jury possibly in the near future and homing to see federal charges come in this case. andrea? >> just incredible. peter, congress has still not agreed on police reform on the george floyd bill. the president said in his message to congress in that joint speech that he wanted it by next week, which was the first anniversary, the 25th of george floyd's death. and now the house is going out for three weeks, so that's not going to happen.
9:52 am
>> yes, it's increasingly clear that's not going to happen, obviously by next tuesday's deadline the president set. an official telling me the white house is still hardened in their words by the bipartisan negotiations and instead of saying they want it done by next tuesday, officials telling me they would like to see it done as soon as possible. but house negotiators said they as recently as yesterday they're in no hurry to get this done. so with the negotiations still going on capitol hill, they're in some way going to mark that anniversary next tuesday. multiple individuals who are familiar with these discussions saying among the conversations they had including potential for inviting lead congressional negotiators here at the white house tuesday. we're told that's not where current plans stand but perhaps more likely the president would deliver remarks on tuesday and perhaps invite civil rights leaders here to the white house as well. we heard from cory booker, the
9:53 am
democratic senator who's really leading the charge alongside karen bass, the democrat from california and tim scott, the only black republican senator, the three of them. specifically booker said he did not want this to be viewed as some sort of panacea, curall here. he said it was unlikely they could accomplish everything they wanted with this bill but they believe they're making progress and the white house certainly doesn't want to get in the way of that going forward, hoping it will continue to happen organically as best possible. >> peter alexander and blayne alexander, thank you both. before we go, we want to acknowledge a history-making moment on capitol hill wednesday. survivors of the 1921 tulsa rape massacre, each of them more than 100 years old, came to washington to till their stories. the oldest living survivor, 107-year-old fiola fletcher testified how the event impacted
9:54 am
her life every day, even a century later. >> the night of the massacre, i was awaken by my family, parents and five siblings were there. i was told we have to leave and that was it. i will never forget the violence of the mob when we left our home. i still seeing black men being shot, black bodies lying in the street. i still smell smoke and see black businesses being burned, i still hear airplanes flying overhead. i hear the screams. i have lived through the massacre every day. i try to forget this history but i cannot, i will not and other survivors will not and our descendants do not. >> as many as 300 black people were killed during those two days in 1921. some 10,000 were left homeless.
9:55 am
survivors of the massacre are suing the state of oklahoma and city of tulsa for reparations. that does it for this edition of "andrea mitchell reports." you can listen to our show along with the latest news and updates on any device, go to tunein.com/msnbc2021 to listen commercial free with tune-in premium. kasie hunt is in for chuck todd next on "mpt daily" only on msnbc. oad. i have friends.
