tv   Ayman Mohyeldin Reports  MSNBC  June 11, 2021 12:00pm-1:00pm PDT

12:00 pm
four police officers. it highlights her courage as she spoke truth to power which frazier describes as her duty during testimony during derek chauvin's trial earlier this year. that's it for me today. my colleague ayman mohyeldin picks up the cover right now. >> good afternoon, everyone. i'm ayman mohyeldin in new york. attorney general meritt garland finishing up a speech on rights. more on that in just a moment. the inspector general looking into the department's use of subpoenas and other authorities to obtain communication records of members of congress, journalists and others after several recent disclosures, including a "new york times" report that the trump justice department sought such records from several people tied to the house intelligence committee. now, when it comes to voting
12:01 pm
rights, the attorney general says the department will double the staff in its voting rights division and use all tools at its disposal to protect the right to vote. >> seeking new laws and where we see violations, we will not hesitate to act. we need congress to pass as one and the john lewis voting rights act which would provide the department with the tools it needs. and we are also following developments overseas from england where president biden and leaders from the other advanced economies are attending a reception after a day filled with discussions on a series of important issues including ending the coronavirus pandemic and tackling global climate change. but a lot of attention is focused on the president's upcoming meeting with russian president vladimir putin. >> mr. president, what is your message to putin?
12:02 pm
>> tell you after i deliver it. >> nbc news keir simmons sat down with vladimir putin today for his first u.s. television interview in three years, which will air next week. all of this comes as they were told the company that manufactured the johnson & johnson vaccine to destroy 60 million doses because they are not suitable for use. and at the same time, the attorney general merrick garland spoke out earlier today about voting rights. the inspector general announced he is investigating subpoenas issued by the doj and in a statement to the inspector general the review will examine the department's compliance with applicable doj policies and procedures and whether any such uses or the investigations were based upon improper considerations. this follows a bombshell "new york times" report which details how the trump justice department seized records from at least a
12:03 pm
dozen people linked, as we mentioned earlier, to the house intelligence panel, including its chair adam schiff, as well as member eric swalwell. joining me now is pete williams outside the justice department. and with us national security and intelligence correspondent ken delainian. pete, i'll start with you, the attorney general today quite the busy day on that front. walk us through what we just heard from him and what your major take aways from his speech were. >> you know, the attorney general has long said that one of the reasons the department of justice was created in the first place was to enforce the civil rights under the new amendments to the constitution after the civil war for african-americans. and today he said he is seeking to double the size of the enforcement part of the civil rights division here. the lawyers who go out around the country and file lawsuits claiming that changes in voting procedures would hurt minority voting and hurt access to the polls. and today he said that the
12:04 pm
justice looking at those laws that have been passed by states and the actions by some states to do their own audits of last year's election returns. and as you heard him say at the beginning of your program, any time the justice department thinks there is a violation, it will act, will intervene in those states. so, it's a pretty clear signal that the justice department does intend to get involved in some of these state laws and some of these lawsuits challenging the new voting restrictions. he said they're in the process now of scrutinizing these laws and testing to see whether they violate the constitution or federal laws which is what these lawsuits that have already been filed by voting rights groups and others in the states claim. >> pete, let me ask you about the "times" reporting on the trump doj here for a moment. how significant is it that the deputy attorney general asked for an investigation and what would that investigation look like? >> well, it would be an
12:05 pm
inspector general review of what happened here. and i think the questions the inspector general will ask is, first of all, what happened. how was it, who signed off at the justice department to get this approval to subpoena data from members of congress. now, i should say we don't know what it was that apple was asked to provide. maybe that's one of the questions the ig can look at here. was it text message data, was it about cell phone call, was it about e-mails. we do know so-called meta data which is data about those calls not the actual content, but the numbers, the e-mail addresses to whom text messages were sent but not the content. so, that's a big question. and then why? what was the basis for asking for this information. we know at the time the trump administration was very upset about what it considered to be a cascade of leaks, classified information regarding trump conversations with russians and so that's what led, apparently,
12:06 pm
the attorney general jeff sessions at the time to seek this. but the ig will look at all those questions. >> ken, have we heard anything from former attorneys general sessions or william barr under those subpoenas and who would have possibly issued them? >> ayman, either of those men respawned to our inquiries although bill barr told politico says he doesn't remember being aware of any subpoenas in leak investigations. he did acknowledge trying to revive what he viewed as dorminant leak investigations by the time he became attorney general. these subpoenas, according to the timeline, would have gone out when jeff sessions was the attorney general and i spoke with mary mccord, who is a career justice department official who is the acting head of the national security division in the early part of the trump administration and she was a little bit careful in what she said. let me just read you what she said to me. she said attorney general sessions was very interested in
12:07 pm
pursuing leak investigations early in the new administration. and she added that under department practice, any investigation into an elected official would have been considered a sensitive matter that would have required high-level approval. ultrasensitive, aman, because we're talking about two members of the intelligence community which is entrusted with the nation's most closely guarded secrets. briefed on covert action and they are by definition trusted by the executive branch. you would think there would need to be a really significant piece of information to prompt this kind of investigation. >> all right, ken delaney and pete williams starting off this hour on multiple fronts. thank you to the both of you. joining me now hawaii democratic senator mazie hirono. thank you for your time this afternoon. do you think the attorney general's presser today was a signal from the biden administration that voting rights legislation won't pass the senate or do you think it might be premature to make that conclusion?
12:08 pm
>> i think its attorney general recognizing that they have a job to do to protect, make sure that our voting rights are protected under the existing statues. what's left of the voting rights act. so, he's doing his job and i'm thankful. it is a breath of fresh air that we have an ag that cares about our right to vote. >> so, what do you think the chances are of voting rights passing the senate then. put that aside for a moment what the attorney general is doing from the institution in which you serve, how do you think it is playing out so far? >> it's not looking so good, sadly. this is why as far as i'm concerned we need to eliminate the filibuster, but one of our, two of our people are not on the democratic side are not in favor of that. he already said he's not supporting the bill that would protect our right to vote aamong so many other elements. >> as you heard some recent
12:09 pm
comments following this investigation into this subpoenaing of documents and records belonging to members of congress. do you share the frustration that this current biden department of justice is not sharing enough information with member of congress. should they be doing more and telling members of congress more about what was actually asked under the previous administration what was sought? >> i would say that is what the ig investigation that has been called for by this attorney general and his deputy that is intending to uncover. so that process should occur. and i would like the attorney general to inform us when that process is completed. >> how do you feel -- >> it is clear to me there was an abuse of power in the subpoenas by the previous administration. >> but to that extent, are you at all or do you share the frustration that an investigation was announced only after the "new york times" report was published and not before? >> i think we can, yeah,
12:10 pm
possibly quival about that. but i'm just glad as soon as the investigation or the report came out that they very quickly moved to ask for an ig investigation. >> obviously, as i mentioned the committee that calls for attorney generals bill barr and jeff sessions to testify. what would you like to learn from their testimony and what happens if they appear stonewall questions as they have in the past? >> first of all, i would like them to testify. if they do not do so voluntarily, then they should be subpoenaed. if they choose to stonewall, then we need to follow the remedies that go with stonewalling congress. but, first of all, i think that this kind of hearing should occur. my hope is that the former attorney generals will testify as part of their sense of responsibility to the positions they held and to our country. >> all right. senator mazie hirono, thank you
12:11 pm
for your time and insights. i appreciate it. now back t england where president biden ended the first day of the g7 summit with a reception featuring the queen and other members of the british royal family. the reception comes after the leaders discuss the challenging issues facing the world, including climate change and ending the coronavirus pandemic. joining us now nbc chief white house correspondent peter alaxeneder in england and jonathan lamure and also political analyst. great to have both of you with us. peter, let's talk about progress today. how much was made at the g7 summit where the leaders, you know, taking on some very important issues whether it be the pandemic or climate change. >> yeah, ayman, only limited visibility into the exact discussions taking place here and in advance of their arrival, significant agreements that they are announcing. one of them being formalized today this first full day of the
12:12 pm
g7 summit. these nations, the world's wealthiest economy is coming together and making this pledge of 1 billion covid doses, vaccine doses to be delivered to some of the world's poorest and developing nations. right in an effort to really beat back the pandemic. that is significant. obviously, beyond that, the issue of climate change. that's a topic that is being addressed here, as well. we're just now getting a look at some of the remarks from prince charles at a gathering reception that happened this evening. queen elizabeth among those in attendance tonight. notably he used the same words as president biden saying that in this effort to build back better, to create a prosperous and greener future, we need to harness the political will and business engenuity going forward. that's a focus i think you'll see, especially against the backdrop of what is called top 26 the u.n. climate talks to take place here back in the uk and scotland a little bit later this fall. then beyond that, obviously, this is an effort to embrace these allies against key
12:13 pm
adversaries right now. the rising china and also a disruptive russia. all of it ahead of that key high-stakes summit with vladimir putin next week. >> the president has made repairing relationships a key part of this trip and his administration's policy, but even with that approach, are europeans still wary of the u.s. given what they had to see over the past four years with donald trump. how do they ensure and what is the perspective from that side that after a biden administration things do not reset to the way they were under a trump administration? >> right, great question right now is in terms of the trajectory of the american foreign policy, what is the blip? was donald trump the blip or is president biden the blip? that's what the european allies are wondering. the first foreign policy threatening to blow up nato and the mutual defense pact and
12:14 pm
slamming them on economic issues and president biden is trying to do his best to put that behind him and reassure that trump was a one off and this is how we're returning to a normal, predictable, dependable america. that's their messaging. but i do think some of these leaders what could come after biden and after the 2024 elections. but certainly, the message from biden here in england in these early days of the summit is to stress, to stress cooperation, to stress displaying a show of unity before he heads into that summit with vladimir putin. to show that the west needs to band together on many issues whether it be vaccines and we know about the huge commitment, a billion doses to developing world or economically to kind of thwart china as peter said. in his meeting with boris johnson yesterday the saying, though there are some personal tensions there, we know that biden called boris johnson once a trump clone and certainly thorny issues like the issue of
12:15 pm
northern ireland which is a shadow of those talks. and now all about warmth and friendship and the leaders are trying to carry that out tonight up the coast. >> looking ahead to this summit between putin and president biden. that is supposed to take place next week. they didn't get much insight into it but what have you learned or what more have we learned about the message that the president is expected to deliver to vladimir putin? >> well, i think what was striking to a lot of us, ayman, upon his arrival here in the uk president biden meeting with u.s. troops here in the uk delivered a strong, forceful message that was in large part focused on vladimir putin. among other things communicating a warning against russian harmful activities. today we heard from the communications director kate bettingfield speaking on behalf of the white house about what the white house views as its goals for the president ahead of that meeting next week. take a listen.
12:16 pm
>> his aim is to move our relationship with russia to a place of stability and predictability and there are areas where there is consensus and where it is in the interest of the united states to work with russia, including on issues like nuclear proliferations. why we signed an extension of the new start treaty with the russians not long after we came into office. areas of consensus and areas of deep concern both will be on the table when the leaders meet next week. >> obviously, president biden's desire for a stable and predictable relationship comes against the backdrop of a president and vladimir putin who was anything but predictable. so, clearly, there are real challenge there's. just to emphasize one of the points that john was making moments ago. what is striking to me this gathering begins here and just the difference in the way these allies are coming together. you will remember when president trump met with vladimir putin and a much more cozy relationship instead compare that to the g7 meeting that took
12:17 pm
place in canada where you saw angela merkel leaning over a desk and looking at president trump and scowling at one another. today a very different scene. the president meeting macron for the first time and wrapping their arms around one another and really to sort of communicate that global embrace. >> what a difference an administration makes. peter alexander, jonathan, thanks to the both of you for joining me this hour. a major scoop by keir simmons he just got an exclusive interview with russian president vladimir putin ahead of president biden's face-to-face meeting next week with vladimir putin in geneva. part of that interview will air tonight on nbc "nightly news" with the full interview airing monday night. healthy officials are warning about heart problems being reported among men and teens who had the covid vaccine. we'll get expert advice on that. and joe manchin to support the democrats' agenda on voting

12:21 pm
today the subcommittee held a virtual meeting and pete agular asked in harris county, texas, why litigation alone is
12:22 pm
not enough. watch this. >> as an elections administrator, it's all good and well to say you can take it to the courts, but i have to do elections in six months. i have to do elections today as early voting for me in another election. so, i don't have six months to three years to wait for litigation to pan out. i need help today. >> on monday june 14th the west virginia poor people's campaign is hosting what they call a moral march on manchin. it comes as the state's democratic senator has dampened the hopes of many democratic lawmakers by continuing to reject calls to eliminate the filibuster and his demands for bipartisan outreach to republicans which many democrats find futile. right now without any changes to the filibuster, some of the democrats' biggest legislative objectives are unlikely to become law. and joining me now is one of the organizers of that march, bishop william barber ii who is the co-chair of the poor people's campaign and president of the
12:23 pm
repairs of belief. thank you for joining us this afternoon. what do you want senator manchin to take away from your march on the 14th. >> let me say, hallelujah first to our attorney general, the statement he just made. i want you to know that west virginians invited us to come people in poor and low-wage people and black people and white people. they say it's time. we met with him in february and challenged him on these things about living wages and voting rights and he still has not moved and they want the nation to understand that west virginians are not with this. in fact, one poll 79% of likely voters in west virginia support expanding the voter rights act and afford the people act's and 79% of independents and 76% of republicans. so, manchin is just wrong and they want people to hear it. some of them can't get off work until after 5:00. so we'll march at 5:00 to his
12:24 pm
office and tape the demands on his door. i want you to know they would not give us a permit for certain parts of his office. but that's all right. the people in west virginia are strong and vigilant. my granddaddy came from west virginia and those miners up there and we're going to bharch march on his office and then june 23rd taking buses and going to washington, d.c. on a wednesday to march on manchin and mcconnell and the russell building in washington, d.c. what we want him to know is he is wrong. filibusters have never been used to bring people together. it's always been to suppress opportunities and growth. he is wrong. his position is constitutionally inconsistent, morally indefensible and economically insane and politically irresponsible and historically accurate. what he's doing is he is taking the sign of extremists who want to block people from voting.
12:25 pm
he's on the wrong side of history and the wrong side of the constitution and the wrong side of justice. >> bishop, i know that as you mention you met with senator manchin to discuss the minimum wage. what does he present if you're saying the people in west virginia support what you guys are calling for, what the movement is calling for and at the same time, he's saying he represents west virginians who don't want to see this quote/unquote bipartisa >> well, first of all, you know, he's lying. one of the most bipartisan unions, thed mine workers have called him out in recent days. one of his biggest supporters at time and said they are for support of people and they are for expanding the voting rights act and restoring it and we know in history that all of the early bills like the 14th amendment, 15th amendment and that he's
12:26 pm
just wrong. what he's doing is he is emboldening and empowering and encouraging racism and classism and all of the retroaggression that these state legislatures are trying to put in place. and the polls say he's wrong. the people in west virginia say he's wrong. and they want him to hear from them. now, when we met with him, you know, manchin is smooth. the former quarterback and he's cool and he knows how to talk. but one of the ladies that met with us in private said, look, i know your mama and you know it's wrong and we and the people don't agree with you. 700,000 low wealth people and 300,000 make less than the living wage and he has been wrong on living wages and west virginia needs infrastructure. it is one of the poorest states. who is controlling him? is it dark money, but the people
12:27 pm
have decided this is the time that we must have street pressure and i want you to know, there's black people and white people and brown people and indigenous people because they understand that an attack on voting rights, yes, it's about race and also about class and fundamentally it's about undermining the democracy. that's why even veterans are going to be speaking at our rally on monday because they're saying we didn't go over to see somewhere else and fight for freedom to come here and watch freedom undermine and democracy undermine by one senator in one state. that is just absurd and it's wrong and it's time that all americans, not just black folks but all americans speak out. >> thank you very much, bishop william barber sharing your insight and opinions on this. appreciate your time, sir. thank you. >> god bless you. thank you. a senate pakistani immigrant made history when the senate confirmed him as the first muslim american federal judge. he was born in new york city and
12:28 pm

12:32 pm
we are closely following news on the coronavirus pandemic and here's what we know at this hour. after months of review of the baltimore plant and fumbled production of millions of johnson & johnson doses earlier this year, the fda has just ordered the facility to throw out about 60,000 doses due to possible contamination. the fda will allow ten million doses to roll out with the warning they cannot guarantee good practices were used in production. this as an eu official says it's not expected j&j will meet its goal of delivering 500 million doses to the european union by the end of june. the eu is opting out further j&j orders. the cdc announced it will be holding an emergency meeting next week to look into rare reports of myocarditis or heart inflammation in 16 to 24 year olds, particularly males who have gotten the vaccine. preliminary data shows the vast majority of patients fullyive
12:33 pm
roed from their symptoms. in chicago a full reopening is under way. today wrigley field is at full capacity for the first time since september of 2019. the whole state of illinois is phasing out of its covid regulations with ultimately no capacity restrictions and no social distancing mandates and mow mask restrictions. shaq, good to see you. what challenges is the city running into as it phases into reopening? >> well, ayman, i'll be honest talking to people the biggest challenge is drinking enough water and putting on enough sunscreen. officials are leaning into the fact that they're reopening. they're excited and you can tell people are excited about coming to this cubs game here. you mentioned biggest crowd since september of 2019 and one thing that we're noticing as people are still trickling in. face covering are no longer
12:34 pm
required for wrigley guests who are fully vaccinated and that just shows how the restraints in the city are loosening up. not just this baseball stadium where you'll have 40,000 people packing it and watching the cubs play the cardinals later today and also talking about restaurants, bars, retailers and getting rid of the social distancing requirements and getting rid of the capacity restrictions they had there. i spoke to senior vice president of communications for the cubs team, listen to what he told me about the level of excitement that they can now have their fans back after all this time. >> so, we're kind of behind the 8 ball, if you will. we're really trying to catch up staffing levels to capacity levels. >> you've been struggling a little bit to hire and fill some spots. >> what other industries have experienced not only in chicago but across this country. so, we're just trying to, there's a competition for talent. the restaurants across the street and other places downtown are looking for servers. so, we're looking for people so that we can meet the demand as
12:35 pm
we're welcoming all these fans back to the ballpark. >> i mentioned that officials had been leaning into this reopening and we heard from the mayor and the governor and the mayor is doing a voucher program where she's leading around $250 gift cards in all communities across chicago. so, if you go out and you may find some extra cash. ayman. >> good luck. hopefully you'll get a chance to get in and watch the game and grab a hot dog and enjoy that weather. joining me now is founder and ceo of advancing health equity and msnbc medical contributor. great to have you back on the program. with the news the cdc is looking into cases of heart inflammation in young people who have gotten the vaccine, as we mentioned, how concerned should parents be? how dangerous is this condition? >> so, you know, i think this is something that parents should definitely keep an eye out for. what we're seeing in terms of the rate of myocarditis so far. we're seeing that it's actually, it's slightly above normal,
12:36 pm
although still rare for young people who have been fully vaccinated. and really now the question is what do we do with younger people, less than 12 years old as they, you know, as the trials go on and get approved. should we collect more data and see what's happening in terms of the myocarditis cases or is the risk of covid too great to even consider delaying vaccine? i would tell you that right now that the benefits of vaccine outweigh the risk of this myocarditis and as you mentioned earlier the young adults that are developing myocarditis are developing very benign forms and not being hospitalized and it's mild. so, i think that we should encourage families and talk to their health care professionals about vaccination and right now it seems like that is the right idea, especially considering the variants that are out there. >> let me play for you what the former fda commissioner scott godly had to say about the
12:37 pm
vaccine and heart information earlier today. >> at this point you need to assume if there is a cause and relationship between the vaccine and these observations, until you can prove otherwise. >> while officials look into this, what should parents be doing? i know you mentioned they should be on alert, but what can they realistically do to track this? >> right. so they would be looking out for certain symptoms. chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue. it's usually happening within two weeks after receiving the second dose of the vaccine. and so that's, i still encourage parents to talk to their pediatricians about the vaccine. although we're seeing an increase in cases, it's still a rare complication and so that conversation about weighing the risk and benefits is very important. but the data we have so far is that the vaccines benefits are really quite superior. >> and, obviously, we mentioned earlier today the 60 million j&j doses no longer being viable. that will fuel a little bit of
12:38 pm
vaccine hesitancy, unfortunately. how do you see it? how will this impact vaccine overall and the stagnant rates that we're seeing in the u.s.? >> well, i will say that, you know, the, the debacle that has been happening with this company in terms of how they have managed vaccine manufacturing and all the violations that have occurred in the plant are incredibly disappointing. i do think that undermine the public's trust in vaccines. i do think, though, that we are seeing for people who have received the mrna vaccines, pfizer and moderna, we're seeing how effective they are with the minimal complications. the 50,000 vaccines that they're going to purchase and send to the global south, we've gone through rigorous fda process. so that people globally i think should feel very competent about taking those vaccines. however, i do think that this
12:39 pm
issue with the plant and the j&j vaccines could potentially undermine the johnson & johnson vaccines, in particular. >> all right, blackstock, always a pleasure. thank you for your insights. >> thank you. up next, i'll speak to the woman whose dad died from covid-19 and who went on to say this at last year's democratic national convention. >> my dad was a healthy 65-year-old. his only pre-existing condition was trusting donald trump. >> kristen joins us to talk about her efforts to get a national covid memorial day. plus compensation for families who lost loved ones to covid-19. you're watching "ayman mohyeldin reports." my plaque psoriasis... ...the itching ...the burning. the stinging. my skin was no longer mine.

national covid memorial day. one of the founders spoke about the loss of her father back at the dnc convention back in 2020. >> i'm one of the many who lost a loved one to covid. my dad marc anthony urquiza should be here today, but he isn't. my dad was a healthy 65-year-old. he's only pre-existing condition was trusting donald trump and for that he paid with his life. >> joining me now is kristen urqueza. kristen, it's great to see you. thank you so much for coming back on to the program. because of your organization's efforts, you have 152 mayors in 32 states taking official action to proclaim the first monday in march covid memorial day. what would it mean to establish an official covid memorial day for the entire country. what would that entail?
12:45 pm
>> it would mean a lot to people who have been severely harmed or impacted by covid. we are in this moment where we're starting to celebrate the end of the pandemic but for folks like me, there is no end. there is no going back to normal for folks who have lost a loved one. so, this is a way for us not only to celebrate our technological advances of being able to get shots in arms, but to also hold the truth that we are dealing with a pandemic of grief and we need to honor the sacrificed forced upon literally tens of thousands of americans. the loss of loved ones. >> so, let's talk a little bit about that grief because i can't even imagine what it must be for the thousands and tens of thousands of american families who have lost loved ones. it must be difficult to see the conversation shifting about reopening and looking ahead to the future when so many of our
12:46 pm
countrymen are grieving the loss, including yourself grieving the loss of your father. talk to us about that disconnect. >> it's huge. it's only pushing us further into the shadows. i think about this idea of the roaring '20s upon us, but for folks like me, there is no roaring '20s when i think about the fact that i'll never have a dad walk me down the aisle or attend the birth of a potential child that i have. and while this is tragic, it's not unique. far too often policy failure and leadership failure is hidden in private grief. and part of what marked by covid has done is allow people to just be honest with how we're doing. and that's why we're calling for an official covid memorial day so that we can heal as well as grieve. >> and speaking of healing, what do communities need to be able to move on from covid, not only
12:47 pm
mentally, but as you mentioned, in terms of concrete resources to compensate those who have lost loved ones. >> we're only beginning to learn the ongoing impacts of this pandemic to people who lost loved ones. the community need assessment and learned that the second biggest harm that folks are experiencing is the loss of a breadwinner. to put this unconcrete terminology. 23,000 children under the age of 18 lost a parent. are we prepared to allow this tragedy to be shouldered by these kids and potential long-term financial ruin? that's just the tip of the iceberg of what we're talking here. so, we've been calling for victims' compensation fund not only to make sure that people most harmed in this pandemic are not left behind in our recovery, but so that we can make sure
