what is the latest? >> it's six republicans. that's why i keep looking down at my phone to see if that number has changed. six republicans have voted to move on with this bill to form this commission. this is a key vote. if they do not get the 60 votes necessary, then the commission is dead, at least for the time being. the six senator republicans who is have voted for it include susan collins, lisa murkowski, cassidy of louisiana, rob portman of ohio, ben sasse of nebraska and of course utah. the vote is not expected to pass

and that is because before this bill passed the house of representative, mitch mcconnell came out publicly and said he was not going to support it. that was a big sign to his republican colleagues on where to stand on this issue. there has been a lot of discussion both behind the scenes and publicly about the formation of this commission among republicans. the majority of republicans are just following the lead of their leader mcconnell and choosing not to support it. >> just to highlight this. this is a significant moment. all americans saw what happened on january 6. this commission would be bipartisan and independent. we have heard from four former dhs homeland secretaries saying that politics should be put aside, saying we need to get to the bottom of this. yesterday we heard from the mother of an officer who died a day after the attack on the

capitol calling on the lawmakers to follow the constitution. it looks like this will fail. but right now i want to get to other breaking news. president biden is preparing to deliver remarks in advance of the memorial day weekend. you can see him gathering with others. a rock climbing wall behind him. some of the young people wearing masks, others not. the president it outing significant successes as he eyes july 4 where he hopes to have 70% of americans with one shot. the progress has been slow in recent weeks as it has been more and more difficult to get americans on board. but here is the president of the united states, joe biden. >> i don't know about y'all, but

following a governor introducing a president in front of about half of the national press, when i was a junior in high school, not even close. when i go by, don't say joe who, promise me? >> before we begin i want to say a quick word about an old friend of mine, john warner, i had the privilege of serving with john for three decades in the united states senate. he was a man of shens conscienc honor. we are going to miss him dearly. john took chances.

i was stunned, pleased and stunned, when in the middle of my primary john endorsed me for the united states. it was how things used to be back in the old days in the united states senate when i first got there. it didn't happen that often, but people would cross the aisle to work with one another. john was a man of great integrity and he's going to be missed. virginia was fortunate to have him as long as they did. jacob, thank you for sharing your story. i want to -- you pointed out that my wife works for the governor. no wonder she doesn't pay attention to me. but all kidding aside, i'm very proud of the fact that jill has -- teaching is not what jill does. teaching is who she is. she has done it her whole adult

life and she is still doing it. i know some people said when you are first lady, are you going to continue to teach. she said yes, but i don't think she bargained for having to teach online initially. students, i watched her. she spent more time, four hours a day, for about a month, learning how to teach online. so don't feel bad about y'all. at any rate, i just want to say that we are in a position now -- governor, thank you. and you are one of the best governors in the country in helping fight covid in taking this on and you have done it

from the beginning. mayor wilson, thanks for the passport into the city. congressman conley and beyer. congressman conley got to congress with a real impediment. he worked for me for years on my staff. everything has gone downhill since you left. i want to thank the senate majority leader and i want to thank all of you people working so hard in northern virginia. since i have taken office, we are further along than anyone thought. when i took office we were averaging 184,000 cases per day nationwide. here in virginia, as the

governor pointed out, schools were closed. main street had gone quiet here and in cities across america. virginia tech didn't play in a bowl game this winter, the first time in 28 years. so many joyce of life, large and small, have been halted by a long, dark winter. today we have gone from 184 cases nationwide to 22 cases -- 22,000 cases per day. deaths have dropped by over 85%. tens of thousands of moms and pops, grandparents, and friends are still with us who would have otherwise been lost. this is true here in virginia particularly. from 43,000 cases the week before i took cases to fewer than 2800 the past week, a 93% decline. we have been able to do it for

three reasons. first, we planned and executed a vaccination effort at a scale and speed never-before-seen here or anywhere in the world. here in virginia that meant $247 million in federal funding for vaccination sites. more than 360 federally funded national guard getting responses. 1,000 pharmacies across virginia and creating a mass vaccination site in norfolk initially run by fema and in partnership with virginia. governors have been partners. red states and blue states working with faith leaders and community leaders getting it done at a local level.

most crucially, the american people. more than 165 million americans so far have done their patriotic duty and have gotten at least one shot. americans of every party, race and creed have come together and rolled up their sleeves literally and done their part. now 51% of american adults have been fully vaccinated. 75% of seniors fully vaccinated. nobody left behind, black, white, hispanic, across the board getting vaccinations. in virginia 55% of all adults are vaccinated. i believe that is the right number. we are not just saving lives, we are getting our lives back. stores and restaurants up and down main street are hanging

open signs on their front doors. here in the rock climbing gym we are greeting one another with smiles and masks off and i am about to do this 60-foot wall. i work out every morning, but i have trouble holding on to those grips. a young man said to me the way to work the hands, get a kettle bell and put it under your fingers and work it that way. tonight i'm trying it. folks, in norfolk and fredericksburg, fans are heading back to minor league ball parks. families are heading down to spend the weekend at virginia beach. we have gone from pain and stagnation of a long, dark winter with an economy on the move faster than in nearly 40

years. i have had the fastest job creation of any administration in history and rising wages. as more americans get vaccinated, the days grow brighter and brighter. but let me be clear, we are not done yet. we have to reach those who are not vaccinated and make it easy for them to be protected. i set an ambitious goal of getting 70% of americans at least one shot. with a month to go we are at 62%. ten states have already reached the 70% milestone. virginia is moving closer every day. counting on all of the help and continuing this process, i think

you will get the job done here in virginia quickly, gov. to 70% and sprinting to the finish line is what it is all about. if it continues, we can celebrate it on july 4 as we celebrate the independence of the nation. i know when i ran for office i said i wanted to do three things, one of which is unite the country. it is difficult, but this is the first real evidence we are able to do it. the american people are more ready to come together i believe than the congress and elected officials are. but we are getting there. if you aren't vaccinated yet, it's never been easier. if convenience is the issue, there are 80,000 locations. visits vaccines.gov or text your

zip code and you will find the sites nearest you. in almost all cases you don't need an appointment. if transportation is an issue, lyft and uber have offered free rides to vaccination sites. they will pick you up, take you to the vaccination center, wait for you and take you back to your home or wherever you emerge from. if cost is an issue, don't be concerned. the vaccine is 100% free. if time is an issue, there are 10,000 sites offering vaccinations without an appointment. 1,000 pharmacies in virginia alone, the vast majority with no appointment required.

we have made extraordinary progress. every american should be proud of what we have accomplished. we still have five weeks left to hit our goal. i know we can do it. just look what we have done so far. there is not a single thing. i have been saying this a long time. i think a lot of the press that are smart as the devil think i'm naive. there is nothing we can't accomplish if we do it together. nothing as americans we have failed at if we do it together. virginia, you know you are doing your part. in the last administration i would hear when they talked about vaccines and that we are going to make great progress. he would say there is light at the end of the tunnel. i was reminded of my generation in the '60s, a raunchy community

that would say there is light at the end of the tunnel. the vietnam tunnel, it's a freight train. this time there is sunlight. gov, you have done a hell of a job and it matters. thank y'all, god bless you, god protect our troops -- thank y'all for coming. >> you have been watching president biden speaking in front of americans at a climbing center in alexandria, virginia saying to a crowd why aren't you in school. trying to demonstrate competence

but also confidence in americans, particularly in the state of virginia. monica alba has been watching the president as well. you were traveling with him in cleveland and ohio yesterday. the focus is two part, one, getting shots in arms, and second, help the economic recovery going forward. >> that's why the president was traveling yesterday, laying out his economic vision, explaining why he wants this infrastructure plan passed. you saw him use a local level where he thinks the vaccination program is doing well, in the state of virginia, but the work is not done yet in the words of this president. he wants to encourage anybody who hasn't been, to get vaccinated. they see these two things linged as the country recovers

ex-no,cally and from the pandemic. he has a goal of 70% of adults having one dose by the fourth of july. right now we are hovering at 63 or 64%. it seems he will meet that goal. but the question is what will happen after that. there are unanswered unknowns about whether people will need booster shots or those hesitant who may never get vaccinated, what that means for this virus as we enter the fall and winter. the message was clear yesterday. in cleveland the president called out some republicans who traveled home to their district and didn't vote for the relief and yet they are touting out policies. >> the president called out

republicans for their opposition to the january 6 commission. this is the breaking news. while we were watching the president, the tally is final. the effort to have an independent commission to investigate the january 6 insurrection is blocked. six republicans joining the democrats. among the six republicans who voted in support of pursuing this path, senator romney, ben sasse of nebraska, portman, burakovsky, collins from maine and senator cassidy from louisiana who is one of the senators in the impeachment trial voted for impeachment. michael, i want to get your reaction to the vote.

it seems if republicans can't join democrats on something like the january 6 attack, it will be hard to see any path of agreement. >> i'm trying to check my emotion, because we have just seen a pathetic display of cowardice and disregard for a woman mourning the loss of her son, brian sicknick who was going door to door to get republicans to do the right thing. they don't care about doing the right thing. what they care about is listening to a leadership who has its head so far up the wrong place -- again, i am trying to check my emotion. >> if you will excuse my interruption, chuck schumer is

addressing what just took place. >> the bad news, the republican minority mounted a part san filibuster against a commission to investigate january 6. out of fear or -- to donald trump, the republican minority just prevented the senate from debating the bill. no opportunity for amendments, no opportunity for debate. there was an attempt by the republican minority to shunt this vote into the dark of night. but because of the time, it was done in broad daylight. america will see how each senator voted. the commission was bipartisan,

straight down the middle. speaker pelosi and i supported and still do support the changes senator collins proposed and we told that to other senators. republican senators supported it, but now they raised a filibuster against the bill. this vote has made it official. donald trump's big lie has fully enveloped the republican party. he is the defining principle of what was once the lincoln party. they are conducting the greatest assault on voting rights since

jim crow. republicans in both chambers are trying to rewrite history claiming it was a peaceful protest that got out of hand. and now a partisan blockade of a bipartisan commission. i heard why republicans were blocking this, it's too early, not needed. all of these excuses are meritless and invented in the last two weeks. senator republicans chose to defend the big lie because they believe anything that might upset donald trump could hurt them politically. we have lived through the horrors. i was no more than 30 feet from the white supremacist hooligans. to my republican colleagues, do

they recall them calling for the execution of mike pence, building a gallows outside. doorways crushed. shame on the republican party for sweeping that under the rug because of donald trump. our democracy has long endured because leaders of good faith, even at a cost, shared a fidelity to the truth, not so today. i hope this is not the beginning of an effort by senate republicans from debating reasonable commonsense legislation. we will see. after the break i will bring forward a bill for equal pay for

women. will they debate the bill or engage it another filibuster. we will soon see. now, madam president, i have a lot of pages here. a lot of business to conduct. i ask unanimous consent the senate proceed to executive session to consider -- >> you have been listening to the top democrat in the senate, chuck schumer. as you can tell by his remarks, it was no surprise the republicans would block this january 6 commission. schumer blaming fear or fieldty to donald trump. >> he put his finger on it.

i can be partisan and throw down like that, but the reality of this moment was focused on the events of january 6 and for all of us to understand how it happened, why it happened. the republicans in the house and the senate. i think we need to understand that what the republicans in the house did was not absent any discussion or understanding with republicans in the senate. because they wanted to coordinate if we are going to do something bipartisan, let's be -- coordinated in the first stage of that, the house bill. because they were given everything they wanted, their

dissent was no longer valid. now it will be left up to the american people to evaluate this and see and decide for themselves how they process what republicans did today. for the democrats, they are going to have to make a hard decision about how they process this and go forward as well. >> i want to get back to the hill. michael, stay with us. and the panel as well. the final vote was 54-35. they needed ten republican senators to move forward. they only got six. break it down. >> it was remarkable there were more house republicans who voted for it than senate republicans. this vote was expected. we have been talking about it for a couple weeks. it was unexpected that it was

going to come so quickly today. when it did, our colleague who was in the chamber during the vote said there were some pretty tense conversations, including between senator susan collins of maine who voted for the commission today, but she also wanted some changes. she was having a very intense changes with senate majority leader chuck schumer. we don't know what was about yet, but we do know she was trying to make changes to the legislation to perhaps bring more republicans on board. there is heavy skepticism among democrats that any more republicans would come on board regardless of the changes. democrats spoke to the concessions pelosi had made regarding the scope and makeup

of the commission and who had subpoena power to make it more bipartisan. it was not enough to get enough republicans on board especially when senate minority leader mitch mcconnell came out in opposition to this. it was a huge sign to his colleagues. >> 11 senators not in attendance today. it is clear there wouldn't have been now get this passed. >> you have worked behind the doors at the obama white house and are in conversation with folks at this white house. this is the first filibuster of the biden presidency. what does the biden team take from this moment, whether they decide to go bipartisan on other topics or whether they need to go it alone. >> it's a great question. you saw a little bit of president biden acknowledging

this at the top of his remarks in remembering former virginia senator john warner, a republican, and him saying the way things used to be when you had bipartisan compromise. everything wrong about our politics was on display in this debate in the senate. why is there a filibuster on moving this forward. why when democrats sit down with republicans and say we will take every one of your recommendations to make the bipartisan commission more bipartisan. and at the end of that discussion after all of the compromises are made, republicans are still voting no. so you are thinking how does this impact all of the other legislation. if we have these discussions, can we get people on the other

side to agree. it is a sobering day, not unexpected, but shows you the steepness of the hill they have to climb to get anything done. >> victoria, i want your sense of the optics of this moment across the country. republicans, there was obvious concern there would be a political penalty if there was another look at the former president. do they risk alienating millions of voters? >> the short answer is yes. this vote is saddening, but not surprising. i want to do the numbers because we have seen since the early part of this year, poll after poll shows there is a consistency in which a majority of republicans stand in terms of the january 6 riot. they don't think it was a big

deal or worth prosecuting where we know the majority of americans, 70% of americans say this is wrong, we need to bring this to justice and need a commission. that has not moved. the republican leadership has seen not only has that number not dwindled, but they are getting bolder and more firm in their convention because it's coming from the top. former president trump said the folks at the january 6 threat posed zero threat. that is what the far right continue to say. rather than lead independently and show what is right is right, we have the information, we have the investigation, and bring along the folks on the ground with them. they are letting the folks pulled to the extreme take them forward. >> michael steele, to you, there

is no love lost between mitch mcconnell and the former president trump. today he handed the former president a win. >> he did. it doesn't matter whether there is love lost. it is whether you do what i tell you to do. mitch mcconnell has been accommodating along the way on that. you condemn january 6, say the president was responsible, but five months later you are block anything that would investigate that. we need to get our heads out of this narrative about the relationship between donald trump and republican leaders in the party. it's a one-way relationship. as i have said before, kevin mccarthy, you do what you need to do, there is no guarantee he will be in your corner when you go for speaker next year.

michigan mitch mcconnell, you deliver today and next week the former president will probably trash you for something you did. this will be critical for democrats. you are at the tip of the spear moment when you decide how you are going to prosecute the agenda going forward. there is a lot being proposed where i am ready to debate, $6 trillion in funding, et cetera. but you have to get in the game. the republicans are building the wall that will block you out from playing the game effectively. you have to figure that out. >> a lot of democrats will be eyeing joe manchin, and kristen from arizona. they will need to have them if

they are doing anything alone. to our panel, we appreciate all of you being here this morning for this morning's breaking news . and other news. microsoft warned of a russian cyber attack campaign targeting two dozen countries but focusing on the u.s. it appears to come from the same group that carried out the solar winds hack. the fbi and dhs are trying to assess the damage. we are joined by the chief security officer and former fbi director. good to see you for the first time in a while. help us understand the hackers. the group and the significance

of what they did. >> the significance is substantial. the fact they were able to get unfettered access around the united states and the globe. but they were able to use a compromise from a u.s. agency and launch e-mails from the agency to entice people to click on malicious e-mails and download malware into their environment. the fact this would happen in a government entity should be disturbing. the government has put for the nut recommendations for government agencies to use. what many companies have been using for the last four or five years and we are looking at the government taking the lead to implement new security measures, but it is too late for companies that have been victimized. >> let's read from a statement we received --

>> i just want to get your take on that. the president had an executive order, a series of them, trying to put stricter standards on software sold to the government. >> i would love to see microsoft say that in front of congress. we are seeing their software being exploited regularly. if the company was held

accountable, i think we would see more fidelity in the environment. the government cannot protect the private sector. they don't have the capacity. companies have to protect themselves. i think if we see the government -- and i think the executive order is a great step forward if it is executed upon successfully. some of the requirements call for government agencies to look at threat hunting, looking at actors in advance of them exploiting and breaching the networks. if the government uses it, it will become more resilient. it is an important example. the last piece, when we talk about the president talking to putin coming up, the u.s. government needs to put deter

ens measures in place. if they think they have the ability to access u.s. networks could be standing. if they are not deterred, that could continue. >> i will be traveling wlt president in june. a lot of eyes will be focused on the conversation those two men will be having. as we focus on the holiday weekend, the nation getting ready for the memorial day weekend. with fewer covid restrictions. what you need to know. d to know. before nexium 24hr, anna could only imagine a comfortable night's sleep

without frequent heartburn waking her up. now, that dream... . ...is her reality. nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts, for all-day, all-night protection. can you imagine 24 hours without heartburn?

this is the sound of change. the sound of a thousand sighs of relief. and the sound of a company watching out for you. this is the sound of low cash mode from pnc bank, giving you multiple options and at least 24 hours to help you avoid an overdraft fee. because we believe how you handle overdrafts should be in your control, not just your bank's. low cash mode on virtual wallet from pnc bank. one way we're making a difference.

>> memorial day has always marked the unofficial kickoff to

the summer season, but this year it also marks the first holiday with the least amount of covid since last year. all social distancing across the state of virginia have ended. joining us from new jersey is kathy park. quiet season. we are hoping for warmer weather. asbury is where bruce springsteen kicked off his career. >> good to see you. a lot of business owners are looking forward to the return of people and enjoying themselves. we did a walk up and down the boardwalk. there is excitement in the air because people have been cooped up for well over a year.

the mask mandate indoors has been lifted. and social distance indoors and outdoors has gone away. this time last year the jersey shore took a beating when it comes to tourism dollars. because of the pandemic, businesses had to get created, including the stone pony, all of the live music went virtual. this weekend they hope to come back in a big way. >> there is a ton of demand. you can feel people wanting to be out and together. i don't get a sense of fear from people or not wanting to be next to each other. what i am seeing in our ticket sales for concerts is that people very much want to be next to each other. >> while they are anticipating a

busy summer -- you notice all of the benches set up, this is for the beer garden, a new installation here. new jersey will be lifting all indoor capacity restrictions. this venue behind me will be packed in the next couple weeks so the space will hopefully be hopping throughout the summer. peter? >> we are thinking you are going to grab the mike but we will hold you to that next holiday. >> you don't want to hear that. >> for more where we are going into the holiday weekend, i am joined by the dean of national school of tropical medicine at baylor college of medicine. doctor, put your pediatrician hat on if you can, so many families celebrating the holiday.

kids under 12 not eligible for the vaccine. what is safe for families with unvaccinated children? >> peter, the message both for kids and adults is the level of transmission across the country is going down. but it is not the same as zero. by july 4 i think we should see a dramatic decline and low levels of transmission. right now there is quite a bit of virus circulating and we are at around 25,000 new cases per day which is about the same as we were last year. that's important to keep in mind. if you are compromised and vaccinated there is some risk. if you are a child going into indoor settings, there is a chance of transmission.

>> if you are traveling with kids or going out, you want to go into a restaurant, is it safe with your kids? you walk in with masks, take them off indoor. is that a safe consideration? >> if you can do outdoor dining, that would be choice number one. indoors you want to have masks. if you are doing shopping. i understand for restaurants masks would come off. if you have young children, i would try to do outdoor dining if you can. >> in new jersey where we were moments ago, the state health officials are expected to announce shots on the shore initiative. folks who are there can get vaccinated. it doesn't provide immediate immunity, but they can make a difference. we have a ways to go to get to the 70% the president is calling

for. >> 60% single dose and 50% fully vaccinated across the country. much better in the southeast. the south is about half that. i am concerned we could still see another big resurgence over the summer. we have to do better across the south. we are still a ways away from 70% of the adults. we want to get 70% of the whole population, adults and adolescents. >> months ago we saw huge pool parties in the southeast and parts of the plains, places like missouri. you know we will see those again. what worries you as a final thought as we head into the weekend? >> my big worry is the summer. last summer we saw horrific surge of covid-19 across the

southern states even though we were at a low point around this time last year. then as we moved into july and august there was a terrible surge. that could happen again given how poor the vaccination rates are in the south. in the south some people are vaccinated and some have been infected and recovered. but we are underperforming in the south. >> thank you as always and we wish you and your family a safe holiday weekend. president biden looking at whether covid came from a lab leak. why is that happening now? it is reported that china's stonewalling of the covid probe led president biden to reveal this new review. and it came after the white

house was told there was an unexamined trove the covid evidence. i am joined by a former top aide to vice president pence fo questions for china. based on your experience, should we expect the chinese to help in any way? >> i think president biden is right to pursue this further. we have a lot of questions here on what truly happened and where it came from. no, china was not transparent from the beginning. they certainly underplayed a lot of the case numbers and what was happening there on the ground. they did not allow us to have access. we pressed for weeks and weeks and called. i know cdc and others tried to get on the ground to study so we could learn what was happening so we could prepare domestically. i don't expect much transparency. i think it's going to get harder as we go along.

>> there's some unexamined evidence they hope to look at. what do you think that unexamined computer data intercepted communications could reveal? >> the question is, where they studying the virus? did somebody by chance become infected? we have seen the reporting lately that there are people who did get sick at this lab. was it covid? all of these questions remain on where it came from and what happened there and what the possibilities are. the fact of the matter is, it happened. we have a pandemic. we had a response along the way. the trump administration -- we are right to push china on it. people should hold them accountable for what happened here. >> let me ask you about your time serving in the trump administration where you worked for mike pence. president trump declared a year ago he had seen strong evidence -- he had a high degree of confidence there was a lab leak. he is claiming vindication.

what was going on behind the scenes then? was president trump and your old boss the vice president, were they more focused on finding a scapegoat than formulating a response in. >> they were focused on trying to shift the blame to someone else. china becomes the narrative. i had been concerned because the vice president would ask repeatedly did it come from the lab? is it a bioweapon? i would refute this. i realized when i got an article talking about the lab leak and breitbart pieces that this is where this information was coming from. it was not coming from anything that we were briefing on behalf of the intelligence community. the intelligence community made its assessment and said, we cannot -- we don't have concrete evidence one way or another. that's what they were briefed on. i became concerned that disinformation was being pushed inside the white house from

other sources. i did not want vice president pence to repeat that to the public. that would be dangerous. i was also concerned -- >> i didn't mean to interrupt. for clarity, when president trump said he had a high degree of confidence, even if he couldn't detail where he had seen it, clearly even now the intelligence community acknowledged it doesn't know whether this was a leak or an infected animal to human contact. was president trump basing that on anything other than an article or information that he had read or heard? >> no, i don't believe he was. the fact of the matter is, if it was there, knowing what we know about the trump administration and how they operated, they would have declassified it. they would have had it front and center if it was there. pompeo talking about it as well, claiming there was evidence. where was it? knowing what we know and public reporting, they have come to the same conclusion once again. what i was going to say is that my greater concern was that i

was concerned that they would start to push like they did, which i was concerned it would lead to a rise in hate crimes against asian-americans. that's fundamentally why whenever this conspiracy thing or these questions would come up, i would try to swat them down. i fought to make sure as much as i could control that pence would not go along with this and push these things. we saw the president at the time, trump, come forward and say these terms. i knew what it would lead to. >> olivia, we appreciate your perspective and joining us here on msnbc. thank you very much. we wish you a safe holiday weekend. we had to bring you this scene from the u.s. naval academy today. >> hip hip. >> hooray. >> hip hip. >> hooray! ♪♪ >> a celebratory scene there. the class of 2021, the new
