on this memorial day. i'm yasmin vossoughian and as we come on the air there is a dramatic fallout for texans. the republicans tried to pass in the middle of the night the most sweeping bill in the legislature. the democrats staged a middle of the night walkout so they wouldn't have the numbers they needed to vote for the bill. one by one they walked out, effectively killing the bill for now. the bill would ban mobile voting booths, drive-thru voting, have limited hours. those are just some of the restrictions in a nation that has some of the most strict

voting laws. >> i think the most chilling was this provision that was literally just introduced in the last 48 hours that would allow an election to be overturned based on the allegation of fraud, even if the alleged fraudulent votes would not have meaningfully changed the outcome of that election. when you connect that to the big lie, that there was widespread voter fraud in 2020 and somehow joe biden is an illegitimate president, you can see state legislators like the ones here in texas not accepting the results of future presidential elections. >> so that was ben o'rourke on "morning joe." he went on to say that you're more likely to get struck by lightning in texas than you will voter fraud. that's not stopping a wave of new voting restriction bills introduced in 47 states across the country. as many republicans continue to back donald trump's big lie. joining me now, political

correspondent ali vitale, co-author and white house reporter eugene daniels. welcome on this memorial day. thank you for joining us. appreciate it. john, i want to start with you on this one. as i said at the top, there is a new fallout of democrats effectively blocking this bill. now you have the governor of texas saying no matter what, he's going to move forward with it. >> yeah, i mean, yasmin, this is the number one top priority for republicans in states across the country. having lost at the ballot box in the 2020 presidential election and having lost the big senate elections in georgia, rather than trying to figure out how to get more people out to the polls to vote for them, they're trying to restrict the other side. we're seeing any number of ways. i think one of the particularly interesting variations in this texas bill is to stop people from voting on sundays right after church, which is traditionally the way black

voters are moved to the polls, mobilized and engaged by community leaders. and the irony of that, of course, the state legislator in texas who has been moving this bill forward is someone who taught a ton about religious freedom. so we shall see how this plays out, but obviously this is an absolutely number one priority for republicans is to stop democrats from voting. >> eugene daniels, jonathan brings up a really good point there. we did a lot of coverage on this leading up to the 2020 election. i want to read for you from an msnbc.com piece where it says it would also prohibit sunday voting before 1:00 p.m., which critics called an attack on what is commonly known as souls to the polls. it seems like this is an effort to stop black and brown voters from casting their ballots come election time. is there any other explanation from texas lawmakers to discount that? >> well, i mean, for the

republicans, they say that this has nothing to do with stopping people, black and brown or otherwise, from voting. this is about election integrity, making sure that people have faith in the elections. that is their only reason. other than that, they don't have much else to say. and the problem with that is the reason that people in texas and republicans especially and republicans in this country have any kind of thought that this election wasn't secure, that it wasn't free and fair is because donald trump told them that, right? they can't divorce this law or any of the other laws you were talking about in any of the 47 states in this country that are restricting voting rights. they can't remove that from the big lie. and what's really interesting here is that you have greg abbott, the governor of texas, who was asked back in march, i believe, whether or not any voter fraud was big enough to have any effect in texas, specifically in texas on anything, and he had no

examples. there was no proof to that. so still pushing through this law, even though he himself has said there is no proof that any kind of voter fraud had any change in the law in texas. it's this further nationalization of everything in our politics because years ago, you used to have the states and local officials making laws and policies based on what was happening in their state. donald trump didn't create this nationalization, but he has said all along as he continues to hold onto the republican party, kind of forcing them to get on board with, like you said, the big lie. >> all right, so ali, as you listen there, right, this is not just about texas, this is happening across the country. 47 states proposed bills across the country there. washington essentially having the for the people act to expand voting rights. remind us where we are on this and how the filibuster plays into it.

>> stalls is the short answer, yasmin. that's why all these things are tied in together. eugene was just talking about how washington and the trump era has influenced all these washington state legislatures. the pressure goes the other way, too. you're seeing texas democrats trying to apply pressure to their fellow lawmakers here in washington, trying to pressure them to pass federal voter reform that would basically protect the right to vote even as these republican state legislatures try to chip away at people's accessibility and their ability to vote in a wide array of fashions. so, really, what we're seeing, is really just another reason why democrats are feeling the pressure to get rid of the filibuster and start actually governing and taking up items on their agenda as if they have the senate and the house, and they do, at least for now, after the 2020 midterms when things get shaken up again. whether or not this will change

anything, though, this is a debate that has gone on since the senate was sworn in. we often talk about senators like manchin and sinema who have reservations about going through with this. even the white house agrees there ought to be filibuster reform, but no one there, at least on the record, is advocating we should just be killing the filibuster and moving forward with a simple majority in congress. that's the reality on the hill. this pressure campaign will go both ways. what the legislature has done overnight is to mount a federal campaign here, not just to talk about big items like hampering souls to the polls, and a big way of mobilizing churchgoing voters, predominantly black and brown voters throughout the south, but also drawing attention to things like language in this bill that might make it easier to overturn election results simply by raising the specter of fraud.

it's something, john, you and eugene have talked about, but you can't link that to the rhetoric used by president trump and his allies, including senator ted cruz who made this idea that the election could have been stolen a reality even though there was no basis of fact to do that. what's happening now is republican legislatures, including this one where greg abbott is up for reelection next year has to continually prove he is in line with where the republican party is now. that's how you end up with legislation like this, yasmin. >> let's talk about any checks or balances that could come from the judicial system or the federal government, right? until 2013, texas was among the states under federal supervision of its election in voting laws to make sure they didn't hamper the voting rights of people of color. texas found that they discriminated against people of color and in writing up new voting requirements including the new voter i.d. law back in

2011. but then, jonathan, they struck down that pre-clearance from the voting rights act. so if democrats can't get something done to protect voting rights across the country, what can actually be done in these states, like texas and georgia, to keep from restricting voting rights of black and brown voters? >> what you're going to see is lawsuits that get filed in federal court to try to stop what these legislatures are doing, but, you know, the supreme court is balanced a little differently than it was a decade ago. you've now got a 6-3 republican majority, republican appointee majority, so democrats are going to have to hope they get a couple republican-appointed justices to decide if some of these voting restrictions go too far. what we've seen in the past decade like you pointed out in the cases, the supreme court has been leaning in the other direction. it's been leaning toward gutting the voting rights act rather than fortifying it.

we'll have to see. some of these states are not going to pass the laws the republicans are trying to pass. some of the governors may veto them. presumably some of them will get into law and we'll have to see what the supreme court does, but you can at least ascertain it's a much more conservative court than it has been in the recent past. >> it certainly is. ali vitale, jonathan allen, thank you. we've seen what will happen in your state overnight and what will continue to happen, it seems, as if that's what the governor wants. at this point is this kind of giving renewed vigor, renewed energy to washington to get the voting rights act passed, and how do they intend to do so, especially when you are up against a wall like joe manchin who believes in keeping the filibuster in place? >> well, i think our democracy is at a tipping point. what you just talked about here

is overturning elections, stopping certain americans from voting. that's how you lose your democracy. we're having a very sanitized conversation about this, pretending, so to speak, that this is democrats and republicans and the usual push and pull. this is not usual. this is not normal. talking about overturning elections because you want to have fraud allegations or stop specific groups from voting is totally outside the balance. we don't have to get rid of the filibuster, and this is something i've been arguing for months now. we can reform the filibuster. there are aspects created where they have loopholes and a unit for court justices. if that's a political function that requires only a majority vote, i would argue that voting rights bills like this should also only have a simple majority vote as well. >> what's the likeihood of something like that getting done, not doing away with the filibuster but reforming it? >> that's where we have to spend

the next six months and days fighting for and pushing for. like i said, i think this is a tipping point for our democracy. i think in a century there will be books written about this period that we're talking right now in which the story is not yet written. is it going to be that we recovered our democracy and we came back from the insurrection on january 6, that we strengthened our democracy and we moved forward as a pluralistic country with people of many different backgrounds and creeds and tastes of political democracy? or are we going to drift through something else where we're locked in minority rules around voting, of using a stocked course event is really keeping a democracy from flourishing here. i was in the capitol on january 6. i think this is all of a piece. this is all around the big lie. it's all about trying to challenge the last election and make it easier to challenge the next one. >> talk to me about what the conversations that you've had

with your democratic colleagues at the state level in texas. what's the plan moving forward considering what the governor is planning, and are they planning on possibly another walkout at this point? >> i'm really grateful and proud of texas house democrats for using whatever tools they have at their disposal to try to stop this bill from passing last night. that was the right thing to do, and obviously the governor said he's going to call a special session, and they're going to come back and try to pass this bill. but we have to remember this was put together behind closed doors in which the public had no input, in which a lot of provisions were added that weren't even in the original house or senate bill, some of the worst provisions, in fact, were added behind these closed doors. there needs to be some sunlight around this. we need to have some activism around this. i think we'll see activism build in the special session, and at the federal level we need to

pass the john lewis voting rights act so our democracy is not different from state to state. >> expand on this for me quickly. you said that almost every provision has something in it that is intentionally racially discriminatory. expand on that for me. >> when you're talking about moving back sunday early morning voting, which that's been a tradition in texas for years, and every single day of early voting, you can vote in the morning. but all of a sudden on sunday, you can't go vote until 1:00 in the afternoon or you can vote between 1:00 and 9:00 in the afternoon. that is so clearly aimed at soul for the polls and stopping black voters to go to church, one of the few institutions the black community has had for so long, going to church and talking and going together to the polling place which is a tradition in the black community. that is explicitly targeting black voters. but they're also targeting other types of assistance for voters

in which english isn't their first language in polling places to harass them. this bill is so explicitly discriminatory that it's embarrassing. i was a voting rights lawyer when i came to congress. we often see these things as a little bit nebulous, it's hard to say. this is not one of those bills. this is extremely explicit. >> congressman, thank you, and good luck, sir. turning now to washington where president biden's ambitious legislative agenda is at a crossroads. they have an unusual busy to-do list, but there's still no clear pathway for any of those proposals to make it to the president's desk because bipartisanship is looking less and less likely by the day as the days go by. joining me now, washington white house reporter shannon pettypiece. thank you for joining us on this. give us the game plan. give us the 1-2-3s of the biden administration and is the white

house still committed to bipartisan negotiations, especially when it comes to infrastructure in their timeline? >> reporter: well, there certainly are a lot of pieces in play here, yasmin, that are going to fall into place in the next few weeks. no one really knows how they're going to fall into place, but things are going to start coming to a head, coalescing in one way or another around infrastructure, around police reform and overseas when you have the president going on his first foreign trip. in infrastructure, i was in touch with white house aides, people familiar with the process, who said they are able to reach some sort of bipartisan agreement with republicans. it won't be as big as president biden wants. it may not be paid for exactly how either side wants, and it's probably going to be on the smaller end of things. but they do still think there is a bipartisan agreement that can be reached on infrastructure. everything else that doesn't get included in that bill democrats can still do through reconciliation. that's a difficult process and

they've got to keep democrats united, but that is still a possibility and a potential out there as well. you mentioned police reform, too. there is a lot of optimism over the past two weeks that there can be a bipartisan plan on police reform. it is not going to go as far as democrats wanted it to go when these talks started almost a year ago, but they do think there is some progress there. so i would say there is a lot of optimism and i'm hearing that even from some people who are never very optimistic. but all of this is really going to be determined in the next few weeks. by the time we get to the end of the summer, we will really know one way or another whether there is a path forward for bipartisanship in washington or if this good faith effort really didn't go where either side wanted to see it go. >> i've got to say, optimism is great and all, but the country certainly needs action right about now. shannon pettypiece, thank you as always. good to see you this afternoon. tomorrow an exclusive

welcome back. with more than 40% of all americans fully vaccinated, millions hit the road the last few days to spend the holidays with friends and family. aaa estimating that more than 47 million people traveled more than 50 miles. it marks a major rebound from a record low set last year at this time during the pandemic. it seems the country is limiting restrictions just in time for

parades. joining me is mora barrett and from rockaway beach. thank you for joining me, you guys. mora, you're at a parade that at first wasn't on but now is back on. what are you hearing from business owners about the restrictions being lifted? >> reporter: a lot of joy and excitement and an overamping -- overarching enjoyment. 70% of pennsylvanians have gotten at least one dose of the vaccine, and they let businesses and the parade go on. like you said, 150 years of this parade. you saw the marching band, color guard, dancers, children playing, neighbors reconnecting. this is a very exciting look at

what the summer is going to look like as we kick off the scene. chris blackwell owns this business where the band is playing at this time. he talked about what the outlook for the summer season looks like. take a listen. >> it's so exciting. it's so exciting just to watch things open up again. this town really thrives when we're doing our events and things, so to have the memorial day parade back again, it doesn't sound like much, but it's a big deal. it's really cool to see people kind of coming through on the other side. not everybody made it, and it's important to recognize that as well. you know, it was really challenging for a lot of people, and to be on the side of the people that made it, i feel proud of that. >> reporter: it's communities like this across the country that are looking to get back and be open again. the mass appears to be

vaccinated across the country, but the people across the country we took for granted before the pandemic may be something that is possible as we look at herd immunity and more people getting vaccinated. yasmin? >> maura barrett staying focused with that music going on behind her. ron, you're at rockaway beach. this beach was hit fairly hard from the pandemic. what have you heard from people who decided to get their shot today, possibly on the way to the beach on somewhat of a better day than we've experienced here in the northeast over the last couple days? >> reporter: yeah, that's the news of the moment is that the sun is out for the first time in several days. the city of new york has been sending this van here behind me around trying to offer vaccinations at the city's beaches in more than a dozen locations. it's been challenging, to say the least, for them. because of the weather, the traffic hasn't been what they

hoped. this is also for continuation of a process that's been going on for weeks here in new york of trying to meet people where they are who are reluctant or hesitant or whatever to get vaccinated. we've been to places like train stations to museums to other crossings, other popular attractions where they've been giving out lottery tickets and other kinds of tickets to attractions, anything to do to incentivize or drive people in to come and get vaccinated. we're trying to put the vaccine effective for people at the beach. here is a sampling of what they had to say about choosing to do this now months later. >> it's just like before i was thinking about it at first, i had to think about it and do a little research and stuff, and now after my grandma got it, i thought, i may as well get the vaccine. before covid happened, i didn't

get sick. i just didn't get the vaccine. but it's protecting others, so i'm getting it now. >> reporter: he also said he's going back to college, one of the state colleges here in new york where it's required you're vaccinated, and a lot of young people said that was finally the reason they were doing it. others said they anticipated needing a vaccine for work, for example. there are a variety of reasons why people won't get vaccinated, these conspiracy theories out there on social media. public health officials we've been talking to, they're persistent, they keep giving out information and truth, if you will, to people about what's going on and they say, look, would you rather deal with covid or take your chances with a vaccination. that seems to be a pretty convincing argument to some. overall the vaccination rates are still only about half of the adults who are eligible in new york have taken the vaccinations. the pool is bigger. 12-year-olds to 17-year-olds are

i think it's even true that members of all souls had relatives who were on the wrong side of the massacre. and people won't talk about it if they know that their relatives were part of the mob that were causing the damage. >> 100 years later tulsa is still grappling with the deadly massacre that destroyed the prosperity of greenwood, also

known as black wall street. they joined today in a church in tulsa. later tonight they will hold a vigil in tulsa and the with the will meet with the last living survivors in tulsa. robert turner of the historic ame church. teran, let me talk to you first. i want you to just walk us through ways people are trying to honor the memory of the tulsa massacre. >> reporter: certainly relatives of victims and survivors are trying to focus on the narrative of injuries that occurred here. also on the white side of town, i've been here a few weeks and tried to engage with folks. a lot of them did not want to talk. i actually did find a young lady

named bailey mcbride who was willing to engage with me on the idea of white folks in this. what kind of conversations are they having in their families? she broke it down like this. let's take a listen. >> i can't change what my great-grandfather did. i can feel shame about it. i can wish that it wasn't that way, but wishing doesn't get me anywhere. white people are the ones with the problem here, not people of color. white people are the ones who burned down greenwood. so white people need to do the work to look internally and to look at our city and to do the work to fix it. >> reporter: bailey is an outlyer in some ways. she is a white woman in tulsa actually dedicated to anti-racism work. she found out last year that her great-grandfather may have participated in the bloody massacre that occurred here 100 years ago. a wild turn of events, but there you have it.

still uncovering things. >> robert, this event was glossed over for so long. i think a lot of folks today and yesterday, this three-day commemoration, are literally just learning about what took place in tulsa, which is a tragedy in and of itself. for folks that are watching, what do you want them to know? >> yes, it is, and i want to thank you all for having me and trymaine. the documentary last night helped expose it to millions more. what i want people to know is when they come here and when they're watching it on tv that this is not merely just a tourist site, this is still the largest uninvestigated crime scene in america where to this day after the massacre, not one arrest has been made to any of the white perpetrators, no legal or criminal investigation has been done, the insurance companies still have not been

paid and justice still has not been rendered. that's what i want people to know, this is still a living, breathing situation. >> i want you to expand on that, reverend, because you told the ap it's not a tragedy that left in 1921, it's a tragedy of justice. what does justice look like you? >> justice looks like reparations, justice looks like criminal investigations, justice looks like holding insurance companies responsible, justice looks like getting those bodies out of mass graves that are still there at this very moment. justice is recommendations in the 1921 tulsa -- at the time they called it a race riot commission report. they gave five recommendations to descendants in the aftermath of the survivors, college scholarships for the descendants, a hub of black businesses to come back to

greenwood, and a memorial, a place of interment where the bodies are dumped. we haven't gotten any of those things. >> why do you think the resources haven't been given to make sure that happens? >> i think as we have given reparations to other communities that i support, we've given it to japanese americans. i support that. i support reparations for the jewish holocaust survivors, i support all of those things, but groups i don't support who got reparations are the confederacy -- is a confederate state after the civil war. they received reparations and our government gave them repair. it seems that everybody can get reparations, including the folks that commit treason against our nation except for black people. >> trymaine lee will be back with us next hour so we'll have

was there. the one piece of information everyone is looking for did not come today which are, where are these three suspects that came in here and tore three lives apart. three died, 23 were shot. there are three that are critically injured. those figures are all what we reported on over the weekend, so there has not been major fluctuation there. the big news today is they did release miami-dade police surveillance video about 25 to 30 seconds long showing the suspects in their car. it appears you can see their license plate. they come out carrying assault rifles, wearing hoods and black outfits, and it is only six seconds, yasmin, between when they leave the vehicle, run to shoot and come back. in that time, including crossfire here, there were more than 100 rounds of ammunition discharged and families now trying to pick up the pieces. miami-dade county says this goes way beyond the shooting.

here's what the mayor had to say. >> we can stop this violence in miami-dade county. all our families should be able to live in neighborhoods without crime. it shouldn't be dictated by your zip code whether you can live a safe and prosperous life. >> reporter: there was not one, but two, shootings in miami just this last weekend. the other one happening in the wynwood neighborhood. those responsible were not born with ak-47s in their arms with the intent to kill. some of these are required traits that will require prevention and intervention on the community level to stop this from continually happening. that's the very latest here in miami. yasmin, back to you. >> six seconds, 100 round of ammo. amazing. the day that four more members of the far right militia

group, the oath keepers, have been indicted in connection with the attack. three of the four have been arrested. u.s. prosecutors have charged at least 19 suspected members of the oathkeepers as part of the sweeping investigation into this riot. joining me to talk about this, barbara mcquade. barbara, thanks for joining us on this. really appreciate it. keep in mind that you got 19 members indicted and oath keepers also named in a lawsuit filed by lawmakers. >> well, one of the interesting things about this indictment is it provides a lot of rich new detail about the coordination of this group. i mean, it reads like a terrorist indictment. it's what's referred to by prosecutors as a speaking indictment in that it walks through all of the planning that led up to the culmination of the attack on january 6th. the key of the case is conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, that certification of the vote, and it talks about interfering with

officers, entering restricted areas, but it has, in great detail, all of the coordination that occurred leading up to that, including stockpiling weapons outside of the capitol zone to be called upon if necessary to bring in reinforcement ds. >> so i guess my question here is what really is the defense, right? we're hearing in response a house lawsuit that it seems like prosecutors have evidence to the contrary. on top of that, one of the recurring legal arguments weaver heard when it comes to january 6 is they were inspired by and subsequently let down by the then-president of the united states. how does that hold up in court, how does that defense hold up? >> that defense is not going to get these 19 individuals off the hook. they're essentially making a sort of public authority defense. that is, if a police officer acts lawfully in committing what might otherwise be a crime using deadly force, for example, he might be able to assert that

authority that he was using it for a greater good because he had been entrusted by the government to do so. these are not government officials. these are just a group of people who got together to step up and fight on behalf of their president, president trump, but president trump may still find himself in some legal trouble for his words, but i don't think that will do anything to absolve this group from their acts. they've committed crimes, allegedly, and they're going to have to see to that in court. it might be an issue to raise with a judge on sentencing, but it is not going to give them any legal defense to the conduct they engaged in. and your other point, yasmin, that i think is so important is when you look at the detail, it stands in such stark contrast against the statements we've heard from lawmakers in recent days about this looking like nothing more than a tourist video. this is clearly a planned and coordinated attack, and it does seem clear that there needs to be an investigation beyond that which the department of justice

is capable of doing. they are very good at holding people accountable for specific violations of statutes that are on the books, but looking beyond that at the bigger picture about things like was there an intelligence failure, was there a security failure, was there an information-sharing failure? do we need additional laws on the books for social media? those questions are best answered by a special commission and that's something prosecutors can't do. >> at this point it looks like that's not going to happen, right, considering the vote that happened last week? so what do you think americans can glean from a congressional investigation led by democrats? >> i think it is less effective and less credible to have one party leading the charge on these kinds of things, but i also think that congress should not let this go. i do think they need to continue to investigate those matters that i just mentioned. how can we improve our readiness, our intelligence collection, our information

sharing, our security at events and places that could be targets of terrorist activity? do we need additional laws on the books that are challenging when we want to think about protecting civil liberties but at the same time protecting safety against violent extremist groups? and finally looking at how we think about social media as we consider the danger facebook has cited throughout this indictment as a way this group was able to communicate and recruit. do we need more substantial regulations in social media to prevent it from being utilized as a communications platform for violent extremism. >> barbara mcquade, thank you as always. appreciate it. president biden spent the morning at arlington national cemetary honoring our fallen heroes. what he said after the break. tk
