a know focus and new concerns over infrastructure this morning. a word that might glaze the eyeballs but it is in the spotlight today. after you build it how do you protect it. this time targeting the country's meat supply. jbs the biggest meat processor is restarting shipments now, but you still have restaurants bracing for possible shortages and possible prices with fears about what company could be next. >> after our hotdogs no one is out of bounds here. >> we're going to talk to a cyber security expert about why

they're paying and why it end -- emboldens the white house. we'll have a make or break meeting in a now hours on a possible bipartisan deal. what sources are saying about what will go down inside of that room. i'm hallie jackson in washington, the rest of our nbc news team, peter alexander is covering that meeting. we're also joined by sean henry, head of crowd strike. i'm going to get to all of you but jake, let me start with you, what you're covering this morning is setting the stakes on what we're talking about. how do we build it and how do we protect it. explain why this is such a big deal. you have jbs, the world's

biggest meat supplier. customers including mcdonald's. you have beef prices up more than 6% at grocery stores, and remember it wasn't that long ago that we were seeing crazy lines for gas. people panic buying after the colonial pipeline attack. >> you're right we're thinking of these about tract questions. e-mail transfers between state governments. turns out all of this doesn't really touch our lives. a cattle ranch here, and they have about 155 head of cattle on about 1500 acres here. we have been talking about what the stakes for this brief

interrupt. >> even a one day interrupt in a supply through the beef supply pipeline will have pretty large economic effects throughout the united states. so if, for instance, i had 500 head of cattle that were scheduled to go to that particular plant next week and they can't go, those cattle get backed up in the feed lot. then the cattle behind them get backed up in the feed lot. >> we're talking about the real world impact of this kind of signer attack. right now they're moving their cattle from the drought and fire threatened part of california. it is been so difficult recently to do this work. they're hoping to getting little more sustenance.

it is probably compromised here. even as they're saying they're getting their systems back on line, these are the stakes high. >> we don't know for sure that jbs paid a ransom based on this attack. what needs to happen more broadly as it relates to the paying of these kinds of ransoms to these kinds of companies. >> if they're coming back on line it appears they have been about to decrypt their systems. paying is one way to do that. this is a disruption of our entire critical infrastructure system. we're looking at organized crime groups targeting the food processing system, agriculture, water, all of the things that keep us a economy returning and

they will go on indefinitely unless they take actions to disryder cup the actors takes these. >> they are meeting the russian government to talk about what happens if you cross these redlines and you allow operators in your region to reach out and disrupt you as infrastructure. this is what the sanctions and the response will be. unless we put deterrence measures in. they ahead to to be doing proactive measures to make sure they can identify the attacks and prevent them from occurring. they can't rely, we cannot rely, on the government today to protect the critical infrastructure which is owned 85% by the private sector.

people think infrastructure, these are private sector owned and they're being targeted by foreign nationals that are operating withimpunity. >> so this is again the backdrop to some of what is being discussed at the white house today. not just meat processing plants, but the way that things move around the country. the president is about to meet with a key republican negotiator. and here is where things stand right now. you have the president looking for 1.7 trillion. republicans countered with $928 billion. they're looking at hospitals, child care, senior car. republicans want it more focused on traditional infrastructure like roads, bridges, et cetera. the redline when it comes to paying for it are user fees for

the white house and tax hikes for republicans. peter, what is your expectation for any kind of progress that may happen today at this discussion between president biden and shelly? >> we're hearing from some saying they're optimistic about the opportunity for a deal hear. the president trying to show good faith. she is arriving for that meeting behind closed doors today, but the white house is trying to amp up the urgency here. we heard from jennifer granholm saying we can't sit and negotiate forever. >> it's not going to drag out beyond the summer. it needs to happen quickly, but i think there is a sense of optimism. >> there is a sense of optimism that you're hearing there. her comments about that urgency echoed what we heard from the president late last week saying

they need to close it down, soon. saying when congress returns to washington next week there has to be a clear direction about the path going forward. one of the real challenges is how it reacts. you talk about the pay there, how they pay for this, and the republicans are saying the money, the $928 billion should come from allocated but unspent money from the covid relief fund and the white house wants new moneys to be spent here nap is yet another divide. >> there are six republican negotiators and you talk to each of them individually and they all have different outlooks on what the end deal will look like if there is going to be an end deal. perhaps the most optimistic is

senator shelly morcapido. she wants a deal extremely badly. she is the most optimistic in thinking that they could reach an agreement. but they laid out that they are very far apart on so many issues. not just the top line number, but how they define infrastructure. one thing missing from the republican plan that democrats and president biden want is $400 billion for elder care. they do not think it is infrastructure, and how you pay for it. so talking to my sources, there is all different levels. when you talk to republicans they all say when you get bide biden

in a room the negotiations go better than when you get his staff in a room. so we'll see how the white house staff reacts after this meeting. they are getting extremely impatient and they want to move soon. >> thank you so much to the both of you, appreciate it. coming up here on the show, a single race that says a lot about 2022. what the new results from a special election mean from the democrats slim majority in congress with steve kornacki on the big board. is the white house setting her up for a mission impossible? tinr up for a mission impossible? ts! wait... do we have to thank our moms twice? i don't know...

this morning a small sigh of relief from how the political winds may be blowing ahead of next year's midterm. not because they won in a

special election, but how they won. melanie stansbury holding on to the seat and won by 24 points. her victory not a huge surprise, but the margin is a surprise. republicans had been hoping to at least close that gap, it didn't happen. she acknowledged what the party might mean more broadly. >> it has been a brom ter for what might happen from the cycle. the winning, the margins, i could not be prouder of the work we accomplished. >> steve kornacki is at the big board for us. you heard them call it a barometer. and it seems like the take awa is that the political environment has not changed.

>> certainly they would love for this to be a barometer. i have one thing to say about the early months, we have not had a lot of these. we had a lot of special elections. we really got a sense of what the temperature was. this is really the only ball game we had in a democrat versus republican race like that. but the margin sheer what everyone is looking at. yowl mentioned it was 23 for biden in november. 16 for deb holland. so here is democrats coming in north of those numbers. they're hoping to maybe make the single digits. they have special elections. a district that donald trump carried by 20 points that

democrats were competitive in. you saw that a few times. they were hoping to get this own election here. what does that mean in terms of the temperature as we see the landscape come into focus. the house is very closely balanced right now. last night it was 219 to 211. there is now four vacanvacancie. the democrats say that is now putting them at 220. that is a very sen yourself majority where they say in midterms that the party that has the white house tends to do poorly, tends to do very poorly in elections. here you go since 1950 this is the white house party. they lost 40 in 2018. 63 in 2010. look at all of the red ink on

the screen. they had a seat added to it last night, but to hang on in 2022 this is the history they're up against into when we say barometer last night, there is two exceptions in modern history. they have 98 in '02. democrats hope they could defy history in 2022. they will have to if they want to hold on to the house. >> that is right, a deep dive into the numbers for us. >> thank you, hallie, thanks. kamala harris is waking up with a new assignment, protecting voting rights. they have tasked her with figuring out how to get democrats sweeping legislation. keep in mind she has a lot on her mind. here is her portfolio so far.

looking into the root e causes, selling the president's infrastructure package, and other less specifically worded initiatives like representing women in the workforce. welcome to the department of the easy stuff. mike is at the white house for us, good morning. >> all of us are covering what is a historic prth si. the first woman, the first person of colorful in this job. they have all been trained to get to attention when we hear the president say these words i was traveling with the president in tulsa when he made that announcement. and i think it is important to note the times of this as the vice president is giving.

the context and the setting that the president announced this is so interesting. the reaction in the room that included civil rights leaders and members of the caucus was very warm and receptive. he made a push on the issue of voting rights and those that i spoke to see it as a natural opportunity for the vice president to deepen her connections with african-american voters and a community that we should mention was skeptical of her for different reasons in the primary. her record as a prosecutor. it's an interesting opportunity for her and i thought her own statement on this was interesting as well. and then, only after that she mentioned members of congress as she moves ahead with the assignment. it is not a nuts and bolts political assignment. but there was another opportunity for us to stand up and notice the president seemed to reflect frustration about opposition to voting rights legislation in congress from members of his own party. take a listen to that.

>> i hear all of the folks on tv saying why doesn't biden get this done. well, because biden only has a majority of effectively four votes in the house and a tie in the senate with two members of the senate who vote more with my republican friends. but we're not giving up. >> senator joe manchin saying we should focus more about who he referred to at the beginning of that statement. the president voicing frustration of the idea that of those of us here that he could be waving a magic wand to deal with all of these. >> sure, but also we have to pay attention to the end of the sentence, too, and not just on the shade thrown by the president. thank you, mike. coming up new reporting from our team on what house speaker nancy pelosi is planning to do after

back on capitol hill, the democrats are considering three options for moving forward on investigations around january 6th. nbc news national political

reporter sahill kapur is with us. >> the options are several here. the house, according to speaker pelosi, saying they can wait for the senate to try again to pass the election. there is no indication that republicans are going to move off of their opposition. another option that has a lot of discussion is the select house committee. they can create the benghazi attacks. there is some concerns, republicans would not take that seriously and they try to put a far right member that would under cut the purpose. other options include simply letting congress do their work.

there are a lot that they have working on this and they could let them do their jobs. another is to empower one committee. they could do this through their per view. these are all options that they pefr not to have to consider. in large part it could be bipartisan that legitimacy to voters. and it is common baseline facts for which they could move forward. >> sahil, thank you, keep us posted. any minute now we may get a major announcement out of israel. finding out what rivals of

benjamin netanyahu might do to agree on and put together a new government. they have about seven hours left. it would be for the israeli government to vote on it and approve it before the new prime minister is sworn in. it is a gut check, right? >> they are closer to a deal. the current defense minister under benjamin netanyahu's government joined the coalition. his party is on board. that is new today. a couple parties are still holding out but we understand these are smaller issues. they are not expected to block this coalition and they're confident that they're going to come to a deal by that midnight

deadline tonight. what happens once that do. they will go to the president, a figure head role, they will tell him either by phone or by a letter that they have the support to form a government. at that point a date will be set in the israeli parliament for a confidence vote. that date is likely to be next wednesday, but it could be later than that. they have to get a majority for it to pass, a simple majority for members of parliament that are sitting that day. if it passes the government is in place and they will be sworn in next wednesday. if it fails, the most likely scenario is that israel will be going through yet another election, the fifth in two years. two names, we're still a little

ways off from that but two names to remember if we get to that point. it is a coalition between a centrist party, and bennet who is a former al lie of netanyahu. he was a minister for him at one point. they will be sharing the prime minister position with naftali bennet as the first prime minister for two years. a lot to take in, i know, and we're still a couple steps away from that. >> it is a lot. kelly, live for through, thank you and i know we're going to be counting down the hours now, the dwindling hours. cruiselines really eager set sail for the first time in a year, we're live at the port of miami with those details.

and 40 years after the first diagnosis we're looking back at the aids crisis. we're talking to a group of men that are sharing their personal stories and dr. anthony fauci reflecting the challenges he faced in the early days of that epidemic. the early days of tha epidemic talk to your doctor about xeljanz, a pill, not an injection or infusion, for adults with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis when a certain medicine did not help enough. xeljanz is the first and only fda-approved pill for moderate to severe uc. it can reduce symptoms in as early as two weeks, improve the appearance of the intestinal lining, and provide lasting steroid-free remission. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections. before and during treatment, your doctor should check for infections, like tb and do blood tests. tell your doctor if you've had hepatitis b or c, have flu-like symptoms, or are prone to infections. serious, sometimes fatal infections, cancers, including lymphoma, and blood clots have happened. taking a higher than recommended dose

of xeljanz for ra may increase risk of death. tears in the stomach or intestines and serious allergic reactions have happened. you could take your uc treatment in a different direction. ask your gastroenterologist about xeljanz. this past year has felt like a long, long norwegian winter. in a different direction. but eventually, with spring comes rebirth. everything begins anew. and many of us realize a fundamental human need to connect with other like-minded people. welcome back to the world. viking. exploring the world in comfort... once again.

when you're entertaining, you want to put out the best snacks that taste great, and come straight from the earth. and last time i checked, pretzels don't grow on trees. just saying. planters. a nut above. three new headlines for you this morning as we track the road to recovery for the pandemic. a significant milestone for deaths in this country. on monday there was zero. no new covid related deaths that day and the virus positivity rate is at the lowest point yet. that's great news there. plus free beer. more good news if you like. the company announcing they will buy americans a beer, those of legal age, once we hit the goal

set by president biden. the president is going to announce june as a national month of action. just as plans for it's return start to take shape. the governor has a new line that is bans businesses from asking customers if they're vaccinated. cruise operations may be needing to relocate. shaq brewster is at the port of miami. draw the line from the implications cruise ships want to ask people if their vaccinated because they want people on their ships to be vaccinated. let's say they pull out, where do they do and there are big money implications for florida in the whole industry, right? >> yeah.

>> that is right, here in port miami they call themselves the cruz capital of the world. that is still value that it brings to florida. there is general uncertain any what happens next. a week or so ago you saw the cdc clearing access and they are beginning to sail again this summer. what they're doing later this month there are test cruises in place and they are requiring 98% of customers to be vaccinated. because of that new law they're not allowed to. florida bans companies from asking the vaccination status of customers. what happens now? number one they can say they're going to argue that state going

to file federal rules. that is a federal rule from the cdc. you heard some operators suggesting they may do that but that is a heavy lift when so many of them are used to having their operations based in miami. that is a fee that could be incured. listen to what he told me. >> they're burning an average say 250 million to close to 600 million dollars a month just to keep the ships in a basic, the technical term is called a cold lay up, snaully just having a skeleton crew, minimal systems going, if the governor is going to say he can't do it and charge $5,000 a person, then they're

stuck. they probably won't be able to do it. it is a champion for the cruise line. the cruise lines want to set sail as soon as possible in compliance with florida law. that law saying that businesses can't ask for the vaccination status of their customers. a lot of uncertainty here in florida. >> that is for sure. shaq, thank you very much. as we cover the latest on covid we're also marking the start of another major pandemic. a public health crisis with a devastating toll. the first price reported as aids even 40 years ago. now it is a different story thanks to medical treatments and important public campaigns.

jill fry sere looking at how we got here. and i think for people that were not, you know, conscious of this 40 years ago it is tough to understand the fear, the questions, the initial response from leaders nothing like what we saw with the public health crisis that we're going through right now. >> a completely different picture right now. the first five cases of mysterious illness were reported. one that would become known as aides. we want to reflect on four decades of pain and progress. >> four different generations, the first of which is still haunted by the pandemic. >> people had been diagnosed and they disappeared. and we all knew what that silence meant. >> leaders were kused as

ignoring it because it was called a gay disease. president reagan didn't give a speech on it until seven years after the first diagnosed case. >> for dr. anthony fauci it was a turning point. he became the top infectious disease expert, the same job he holds today. >> it was hard to get the resources you needed? >> in the beginning it was. we were trying to convince people that this was not something going away. that it would get worse and worse. >> a combo therapy was ushered in followed by better medications offering home. but there was no cure for the stigma. >> there is millions of people suffering from social rejection because other people believe they're infek sus shus and they're not. bruce richmond say says he was

terrified of giving it to someone else. >> i didn't love, i isolated. i was depressed. i was suicidal at times. >> and then he learned that medication could reduce his viral load to undetectable and he would not transfer the virus. undetectable equals untrance mittble. >> that gave me hope. hope they could be intimate. you can live a healthy life and not pass on the virus to anyone. 38 million americans were diagnosed this year. he was staring at a window covered in butterfly stickers. >> i thought if i could just fly away from here everything would be okay. >> ray had a similar reaction when he was 27.

>> i knew next to nothing what it meant. it was a steep learning curve. >> what did you learn? >> i learned that i'm not going to die. that i'm alive and well. >> as for an hiv aids vaccine, it has not happened yet, but dr. fauci says he is cautiously optimistic that we will. believe it or not, another cyber attack. this one on the steam ship authority of massachusetts according to our nbc news service. sean henry is back with us, president of crowdstrike in is a way smaller scale than what we were talking about. this is not our meat supply or gas, but it is another company showing as an example how

pervasive these actually are. >> you know you and i can stay up. >> this is happening all over the country. small hospitals, municipalmunic, schools, they are being shut down and having a significant impact on operations. we hear about it because it shut down operations and impacts people's lives it is so widespread. when you look at the aggragate, the people that are doing this, this will go on indefinitely. the adversaries are making hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars. and it's just too difficult now
