up next, my colleague alicia menendez. >> in the morning you're gonna see a new push to reserve democracy targeting a who and why in a moment triggering a new call to action are the ongoing attacks by republicans. targeting voting rights across the country moved bound to erode trust from the government reminding us of what happened 50 years ago today when the new york times public its first article on the pentagon papers. it created a new era of distrusting government exposing the deception by consecutive presidential administrations regarding the vietnam war. reflecting on the significance in history created the new york times writing today quote, the lies revealed and the papers were of a generational scale and for much of the american public this grand deception is

seated a suspicion of government that is even more widespread today. remember, a few years later kim watergate a scandal that forced the president to resign and raised even more distrust in government. and now along with republican assault on voting rights we're learning more about efforts to dig up dirt on congressional democrats and others at donald trump's department of justice. the current chief doj's inspector general is now in the ordeal. but today this breaking news in the new york times revealing that in february 2018 trump's doj subpoenaed apple for information about an account that belong to former white house counsel don mcgahn. according to two of the new york times sources apple was barred from telling mcgahn about. it the doj declined to comment. the senate majority leader wants answers. >> what has happened here are fingerprints of a dictatorship, not as democracy.

no one likes the idea that if the president's mad, he can just go forth with setting personal phone that are on perceived enemies. >> when it comes to sowing doubt and democracy, trump's big lie might just take the cake. convincing tens of millions of voters that the 2020 election was stolen. a special report from reuters reveals how that lie has led to rise and death threats, targeting election officials and even poll workers. threats to take a life based on ally and that lie continues on as reuters rights, trump's incendiary rhetoric could reverberate into the 2022 mid term, the 2024 presidential vote by making election workers targets of threatened or actual violence. the threats according to the associated press now leading local election workers to quit raising concerns that partisans could step in to replace them. the tax on voting rights are frankly hard to combat due to a lack of federal protections

made possible by the supreme court's 2013 decision to strike down the preclearance requirement of the voting rights act to stop doj from reviewing new election laws enacted by states almost immediately after that ruling, republican led states started passing voter i.d. laws. the new conservative-leaning court donald trump cemented could decide as early as tomorrow on voting case from arizona. friday, attorney general merrick garland call on congress to enact the new voting rights act named after john lewis it's stalled out in the senate. that brings us to the politics of getting that done roadblocked at least for now by joe manchin, opposing filibuster reform. that's why tomorrow's civil rights act the kids will host a monday march against west virginia senator. joining us now to discuss tomorrow's rally, reverent dr. the coach of -- thank you for being with us. i want to start with tomorrow's more march on mansion in west virginia. what is the strategy behind the

march? >> well thank you so much for having me and for being interested in these issues. the peoples campaign is organized with more than 40 states across the country and so the west virginia coordinating many of the campaign and provided the whole country into west virginia to stand with impact of leaders, low wage workers, my workers, veterans, from across west virginia to hold a moral arch to senator manchin's office in charleston west virginia calling out the senator that he has the power along with other colleagues in the senate to make sure that we do pass the voting rights act. we reinstate the clearance that we make sure that we defended democracy and raise wages and get health care and all of the things that are connected to voting rights in this country and so tomorrow at 5:00 eastern time, a leader from west virginia will lead a march in charleston west virginia

calling on senator manchin to use his power to make sure that we do good. >> i want to play some sound from an activist in west virginia demanding action. take a listen. >> i've watched my senator saying, talking about compromise. and i wonder what reality is he in? does he think -- is he that didn't delusional or does he think that where that stupid? you've got to have somebody to compromise to compromise. >> how long can mention continue to hold out on this idea of compromise with actually delivering? >> well i think what we're hearing at least from our leaders in west virginia that there is no time to wait or compromise, that already what's been compromised is the lives of the 700,000 people in west virginia who are poor or low income. the 350,000 people in west

virginia who are making less than a living wage and what we're hearing is that peoples lives are being compromised as we wait for folks to come together and push forward policies. the vast majority, the super majority of americans in west virginia believe in it and including and especially voting rights and so people in west virginia are -- time is up ended time is now to pack and reinstate all of the voting rights act and to move forward raising wages and expanding health care and really lifting and caring for that 140 million people in this country who are poor we are just shortly away from desperate poverty. >> we'll be watching tomorrow. thanks so much for your time. hopefully i'll join us next weekend to tell us whether or not that pressure worked. attorney general merrick garland is sending a warning to gop led state trying to attack

voting rights. fighting these new laws will be a priority for his justice department. on friday, garland announced he will double to staff and the doj civil rights division to protect the right to vote. they also overview newly passed state laws aimed at restricting ballot access. >> to meet the challenge of the current moment, we must rededicate the resources of the department of justice to a critical part of its original mission and forcing federal law to protect the franchise for all voters. we are scrutinizing new laws that seek to curve voter access and where we see violations, we will not hesitate to act. >> joining me now, msnbc contributor joyce. she's a former u.s. attorney and a professor at the university of alabama school of law. joyce, always good to see you. i want to start with the announcement from the attorney general. is this move alone enough to

protect green for elections? i think the answer is, it's a good first step. where really needs to happen here is a restoration of the voting rights act. but, a treaty general garland has done something we haven't seen before. he's made to fully using the statutory resources he has. provisions that are very rarely used to fight back against the voter suppression. to deal with these postelection audits not violate the law. to make registration easier for all americans it was a very impressive strategic move by the attorney general and it will do a lot of good. >> since you are from alabama, i want to touch on shelby versus holder, the supreme court case that guided section five of the voting rights act back in 2013. garland wants congress to pass the john lewis writes act, which would restore the doj's ability to review state election laws before they become affective talk about why

this piece is essential. >> so this is the provision of the voting rights act called plea -- preclearance and let me give you an example that i've actually dealt with. say you get to be a couple of weeks out from election and all of a sudden, a municipality or a state start closing polling places and a majority minority neighborhood, making it much more difficult for people and their neighborhood to go out and vote while maybe it's justified by voting numbers or maybe it's the result of racial animus and an effort to suppress those votes under preclearance, the state and alabama, a great example, couldn't do that without getting clearance from either doj or a court in washington d.c.. after the shelby county case, states and municipalities are now free to make any changes that they want to. they can prune people off of voter, rules they can close polling places they can impose, as you noted alicia, these i.d.

requirements that can be so restrictive for voting rights. so we really need a return to preclearance if we're going to keep people texas is a great example where the court found that there was intentional discrimination as some of these new rules were passed if we're going to keep those states out of the business of suppressing the rights of legitimate voters to vote >> here's the thing. restoring the voting rights act only really makes the difference it is intended to make if you have a justice department that is determined and committed to protecting the vote. but biden's doj now is kristen clark serving in the department civil rights division. how does this new doj stack up against trump's justice department, specifically when it comes to protecting ballot access? >> i've had the privilege of knowing kristen clark and working with her on were voting matters for many years. she is extraordinarily talented she has, march he's dedicated, she gets what you said she can

put these laws to. so we should all be very comfortable with the people that joe biden has appointed to this important work kristen's boss, the associate attorney general, vinita gupta is actually the former head of the civil rights division. so no doubt that there is a deep commitment here an important thing about both of those doj officials is that they're used to working with the civil rights community and often in these cases, doj can mitigate some claims and private citizens have to step up and they get others. so i'm very encouraged that we'll see the best use possible made of the laws that said, none of this should take the burden off the senate to pass the john lewis voting rights to restore the voting rights act >> and of, course republicans across the country emboldened by the big lie. now, traveling to arizona in hopes of making states so-called audit, a garland called the quote, abnormal methods of popping up to review the 2020 election what can the doj due to look at that arizona

audit? >> so, earlier during the audit, a letter was actually written by a doj official, pam karlyn who is the acting head of the civil rights division at the time and she pointed out to the head of arizona's legislature that they might be running a foul of the law with this audit their requirements stemming from the 1957 or 1966 civil rights act for keeping and intact chain of custody of ballots and have the equipment that is used for voting. so you can just take your voting machines and go hand them over to a group called cyber ninjas and it's also possible that some of the measures being considered an arizona knocking on the doors of voters and scrutinizing their vote. that that could run afoul of provisions that could arguably bleed over onto the criminal side of the house that prohibit voter suppression doj took a pretty firms then in that letter and my guess is that if

we see some early action by doj, it will involve this arizona recount, which is absolutely a travesty of justice and just the perpetuation of the big lie. >> i don't know that i will never get over cyber ninjas joyce vance, thank you so much. next, a member of house intel will be here to react to this breaking reporting at this new york times. the trumps doj subpoenas apples date of the former white house counsel. plus, biden now in brussels for the nato summit then it is off to meet with putin new reporting about how he plans to deal with russia. this after the parting of g7 in the uk, where he was on a mission to reaffirm the world about america. message hurt and shared by the president of france. >> we will go to tel aviv with that breaking news about benjamin netanyahu, he is out

as prime minister who parliament has approved to replace him ahead but first, the other big stories we are following. richard? >> thanks alicia, covid cases are declining over much of the country. that is vaccine hesitant areas. risk becoming hotspots now. only eight states report are infections all but one have vaccination rates are lower than the national average. vice president kamala harris officially the first sitting vice president to march in upright event. she along with second general dog him in half georgia pride parade in d.c. this weekend to honor pride month she committed to advancing lgbtq protections. and today, novak djokovic of soviet took the wind during the men's final french open. it is his 19th grand slam title. he came back after dropping the first two sets against his opponent, stephanos city process of greece. in two weeks, he defends his wimbledon champion title for invoices, right after this short break. r this short break.

doj working to obtain phone records of high-ranking government officials. we're just learning that it wasn't only democrats that we're reportedly working to spy on, but now the new york times reports former white house counsel don mcgahn was also a target. according to two sources in the new york times they informed last concerted they had been subpoenaed for the account information in 2018. justice department spokesman declined to comment as the lawyer for mr. mcgahn in an apple representative did not respond to a request from the times for comment. senate majority leader chuck schumer wants former attorneys general jeff sessions and william barr to testify on the judiciary committee. i'm joined by correspondent ken delaney. ten, what do we know about this latest reporting from the new york times. the doj also obtaining phone records, don mcgahn. >> alicia, nbc news has not much that reporting but it's quite interesting and if true

it shows that obviously wasn't just democratic members of congress who came under this doj dragnet where we're getting secret gag orders and subpoenas to get the phone records of high government officials. it's really unclear what was going on with mcgahn. obviously, around the time to subpoena would've gone out, donald trump was pressing him to fire robert mueller and he was resisting and so that was going on. there's also an issue with the investigation into trump campaign -- but the larger and more controversial issue has to do with the lawmakers who are the subject of this subpoena which is such a rare and unprecedented thing to happen and these members of the intelligence committee are trusted with the nation's most closely guarded secrets. the idea that while they're being briefed on action, they were also secretly obtaining the phone and email records. it was just really stunning and has a lot of people calling for

an investigation. >> ten, i don't need to tell you this but many officials involved of this surveillance program are still at the department of justice right now. we should be expecting resignations. do you have a sense of what is going on inside the doj? >> yes. there's a real tension here and it goes beyond donald trump and partisan politics. the justice department prosecutors have long been interested in pursuing leads cases. when they see damaging leaks of classified information, they want to put people in prison. and they're very happy to go out to the reporter's phone records and whatever else and also investigate members of congress. we rely on the attorney general and the senior members of the government to rein those people in. to say, wait a second there competing interests here. weeks are bad but so is investigating secretly the chairman of the house intelligence committee. apparently that didn't happen in this case. in part because we had a president and attorney general who were screaming about leaks and had a hostile job of the

press and were only too happy to let these cases go forward. although interestingly, alicia, you can say that a source close to both to jeff sessions and rosenstein that neither of those men remembers or believes they authorized a subpoena of the records of two democratic members of congress. >> we've been talking about that piece. we know about the prosecutor from jersey that oversaw the leak investigation? >> you know, i certainly not a household name. not someone who had experience in these kinds of national security in the cases but it appears that as in so many matters, bill barr wanted to bring somebody and to revive what he viewed as dormant we cases that weren't going anywhere. he wanted to make sure that there were thoroughly investigated, turned over iraq. as far as you know, no charges have been brought. these cases are really hard to make. and, bark by the way also said that he had nothing to do with any subpoenas of democratic members of congress are

staffers but it's very clear that they were pressing really hard to try to make some of these league cases because they viewed some of the disclosures as extremely damaging. but it didn't go anywhere and now the department of justice inspector general is going to get to the bottom because there's a lot of competing stories about what actually happened. hopefully he's gonna get to the bottom of who said what, when and who ordered this, how far did it go, which career officials were involved and did anyone violate doj policy? >> my friend, i'm anticipating that you have a very busy week ahead of you. thank you so much for taking some time with us tonight. my next guest, yesterday here on msnbc called on attorney general merrick garland to clean house and raise the question we want to dig into a bit. why did we learn this news from apple? with me now, democratic congressman raja of illinois who sits on the house intelligence committee. congressman, what is your reaction to this story? >> i think it's stop shocking.

it's outrageous. it's something that you hear or expect from vladimir putin's russia or xi jinping's china. it's not something you'd expect in the united states and this secret subpoena that was issued for the white house counsel's records just begs the question who else was caught up in this dragnet of secret subpoenas? which other political opponents were caught up this target-less and i think we absolutely need in investigation not more than ever. >> do you buy the assertion that barnes and sessions knew nothing about it? >> not completely. i have to say that they need to come before congress and testify under oath with regard to that question. but just for a moment, assuming that they really did not know then it begs the question to the white house create some kind of back channel to land prosecutors in the doj to get

the secret subpoenas issued? and that in and of itself would be astonishing. >> is there any precedent you're aware of, this subpoena -ing of records of members of congress? >> i've heard about subpoena and members of congress who may be the subject of a specific corruption investigation. but i have not heard of one where the white house or the executive branch investigates a equal branch of government without any predicate evidence or reason to do so other than potentially trying to gather dirt on them as a leverage. in a fishing expedition and a political exercise. >> the doj won't say whether there were republicans involved in this. if there is an investigation within congress, if people are found to have broken a lot here will consequences might be

faced? >> will they need to be held accountable and the various penalties associated with breaking our laws, are well-known. but beyond that we have to put guardrails in place to prevent this type happening again which starts with doj policy and it goes to firing prosecutors who actually thought it was okay to issue these secret subpoenas against members of congress. and then third, it might require legislative reforms that prevent any future administration from doing the same because we have any assumption that only people with integrity would be present or would be running the doj unfortunately have been proven to be wrong. >> i do want to ask you over at the new york times today on the filibuster he says, quote, there's a half measure available that meant pick consider as an alternative to

abolition -- weakening the filibuster by taking its threshold to 55 votes instead of 60. he argues that would put some of the things mention wants done in play while still maintaining a strong impediment to ideological legislation. i wonder what you make of that idea. >> i'm not sure about that. i think that unfortunately the threshold of 55 or 60 i think would be used in the same way that occurred filibuster is used which is just to basically frustrate every single measure that a tiny minority might oppose. now if you're talking about maybe a sneaking filibuster at some lower threshold perhaps that might make sense but there has to be a fundamental reform of the nature of the filibuster. it can just be an email to the senate majority leader's office saying i filibustered this. but i personally think the filibuster is outlasted its usefulness and should go away this morning. >> congressman kushner murphy,

thanks so much for your time. big news overseas tonight. israel's parliament forcing out prime minister benjamin netanyahu. new reaction to his ousting and what we know about the man just picked to replace him. also anticipation tonight of putin and biden's first face-to-face meeting. what is the biggest challenge of winning the president wednesday and geneva?

so right now, today, a person that needs help, whether it's a crime victim or mitt whether it crime victim or mitt will defund the police. a police officer will never leave the crime victim out on their own. we will respond. and >> defund the police means and many things to many people. my biggest regret that it was the call 9-1-1. we never think that the police with some robin in uniform who doesn't, care and reality that's not the case. we're missing the fact that the system that demands that the system combined with police culture is the reason that these things happen. >> we can talk about defund the police all day long. but if

home. i got home, and when i got to the house there was a lot of police in it. >> emotions running high tonight after a deadly police shooting in the bronx. police chase a teenager into his house,

struggle, and then shoot him. >> he would you help anybody on the street. he helped old ladies cross the street, he's like that, he didn't commit any crimes. he did nothing wrong that day, but being a black man walking home and pulled up his pants. >> did he ever have a gun? >> he never had a gun, and believe me, if he ever had a gun, i would have taken him to the precinct with the gun. >> the nypd disciplinary trial started today for officer richard haste. haste was part of a narcotics unit on just hours ago, israel's patrol, and one of parliament his fellow cops radioed benjamin netanyahu's that graham had a gun. four years today as prime minister. he's haste followed graham officially forced from office. inside, not knowing it was his apartment, his attorney says, and shot him -- in a bathroom when he thought graham was reaching for a weapon. no gun was found. >> i became the spokesperson corruption for him, because he could no charges he remains a formidable force who will likely try to longer speak for himself drive wedges between the coalition parties >> i'm

still fighting. after all netanyahu i'm always going to stand with my is likely people. the -- after 12 years is pm, he >> when the george floyd case formed powerful happened, and then the whole alliances. correspondent protest started in manhattan, it was like we need to take kobe is away the money from the police. tracking developments for us in tel aviv. >> alicia, we've been hearing for days that this was going to be a nail-biter. the coalition could not afford to lose a single lawmaker in this vote. we saw that in action tonight just four hours after the reconvene for the session after speeches by both naftali bennett and benjamin netanyahu heckling on the part of some of the lawmakers. finally this poll was held and as i said a total nail-biter at some point there was a surprise and sort of a pause in the action and a bit of confusion of what was going on or whether or not this vote was passed. but in the, and it did in fact pass by a tally of 60 to 59. benjamin netanyahu now the

former prime minister sat stonefaced, subdued and staring straight ahead after a few moments. got up, stuck naftali bennett's hand. next tony bennett sworn in as the new prime minister of israel. he already contacted prime minister bennett. he issued a congratulatory statement from the white house saying that israel has no better friend than the u.s. and congratulating bennett and his new cabinet. bennett tweeting his thank you to the u.s. president and then the two leaders got on a phone call reconfirmed the strength of the israeli u.s. alliance and pledged to work together going forward. no doubt, this government has a huge number of challenges in his disparate group of politicians. of parties from the left to the right. they will have a hard time agreeing on so many things in this country.

so many challenges that need to be addressed. and tonight, one more thing at least yet we did see celebrations in the streets and in parts of israel tonight. reflecting kind of a moon among israelis that first they don't have to sit through a fifth election in two years with believe that they now have a sitting government for the first time in a long time. relief that the political stalemate might be over at least for now. benjamin netanyahu days have his supporters. he is a very strong base and he pledged earlier today that he's not going anywhere. alicia. >> kelly thank you. with the g7 summit now in the rearview mirror, president biden is making his way to the first face-to-face meeting with russian president vladimir putin. he's now arrived in brussels for two days of summer to nato and repeat european union before leaving the g7 and biden outlined his goals for his meeting with putin. >> we're not looking for

conflict. we are looking to resolve those actions which we think are inconsistent with international norms, number one. number two where we can work together maybe will do that in terms of some strategic doctrine that may be able to work together how we're ready to do it. >> with me now gayle she is an adjunct senior fellow on the council of foreign relations. after of the daughters of kobanî, a story of rebellion encourage injustice. your first reaction to netanyahu being voted out of power? >> it is a new moment but with that new woman is going to bring, stay tuned because there's gonna be a celebration of anyone like ppe ravage and there's gonna be a lot of celebration for those who worked for sometime to complete a dozen years from netanyahu leaders from netanyahu. the question now is how a coalition been unified by being a not netanyahu that governs and waits. >> and your sense of what it means for the u.s. relationship

to israel? >> i mean i think for the most part, there's a real possibility for the continuation with what is been a very important relationship for israel and one that president biden has been clear about in his statement. we'll continue to be a priority of the united states. the question is now you have a much more diverse coalition there and with that means for actual government. what does that mean for actual governments? i think we will wait to see. >> of course there's a very big meeting happening this week. here's what putin recently said about that in an exclusive interview with nbc news. >> we have a bilateral relationship. that's deteriorated to its lowest point in recent years. the former u.s. president, mr. trump, is an extraordinary individual. talented individual. president biden of course is radically different from trump. there are some advantages, some disadvantages was orders some

of the biggest obstacles biden is facing on wednesday? >> i think you have a lot of questions around it right? a lot of questions around cyber, right? i think one of the biggest messages is america is not one cyber yard sale for the russians to pursue and attack and i think that's been a real issue for this administration. not to mention what it sees as a period of strategic competition talking about the g7 the two countries that were not in the room to occupied a great deal of detention imagination where china and russia. and this meeting with putin, yeah watching to see what they won't talk about afterwards into talking about human rights then i think you'll see that it didn't go very well. i think it also way to see whether there are things they can agree on so just opening across border areas. >> unofficial g7 communication announced g7 leaders on a wide

range of topics such as providing at least one billion vaccine doses to the rest of the world adopting build back better approach, the global economy and fair global trades. on climate, there was agreement to create more jobs and cut carbon emissions and they also addressed ransomware attacks and china a lot there. which is that signal about how world leaders are welcoming biden's seeking to work again with the u.s.? >> so the g7 was about covid. it was about climate. and it was also about continued relevance. how do you really create an organization that was born in the 19 seventies into an organization that's relevant in 2021? and president biden talked about america being back in back at the table. the question is exactly who's following? because while everyone consider rounds at the table and have a really wonderful family photo all of the divisions within the family like your family, my family, could come over and over. it really is a clear division

between those on the one side supporting belgian road with which is china's real nascar in 2013 program and now american -led g7 lead build back better for the world and you have really a battle of two different world views. the americans trying to get the italians, and the germans to say yes, china is not just someone you can trade with and not someone that you can just do climate change agreements with also potential competitor in terms of values. and like germany, italy, and other members of the g7 come to see and agree with that u.s. we'll do i think -- >> cale thank you so much. nbc news exclusive interview with the russian president vladimir putin monday on today nbc news nightly news with lester holt and msnbc. next, for republicans governor cut off covid unemployment benefits this weekend. weeks before the benefits expired, wait until you why

>> republican governors in four states this week and cut off federal pandemic unemployment benefits. to be clear, they have done this three months before the federal benefits are set to expire nationwide. 21 other gop led states can

soon follow, as nbc's kathleen hart explains, they view their decisions as a test. >> thousands of americans will no longer receive their 300 dollar weak benefits. after four states cut off federal unemployment programs. >> it has helped tremendously, like i said, i've been waiting on this money, i did make this much and half the jobs are. work >> iowa, mississippi, missouri, where the first would withdraw almost three months before the official expiration. 21 other republican led states wood and the participation in the coming weeks. for full-time workers, combined federal and state unemployment benefits have urged $650 a week, or roughly $16 an hour. some governors point to these enhanced benefits for keeping people from looking for jobs. while the labor market picks up. >> it should not be a career choice. and we were giving incentive to people to stay home. >> this restaurant tour

approves the removal of the program early. >> i think we needed that, last may. i think last summer -- i think that the challenge was there, we are, backup not everybody was able to. this is a different time. >> others say that factors to the pandemic-like virus concerns kept people at home, and dependent on the additional assistance. >> no one is going to work, here's a 300 dollar interim benefit for unemployment. but they're a 20 million people going on. this >> sherrie pratte of new hampshire has been doing a job search with childcare. >> i can't find anybody to care for her if i were to go out and get a job. >> she will stop receiving bonus payments in june 19. they say 4 million americans will be affected by this programs expiry. >> that was nbc's kathy park reporting. next, there is no doubt that the pandemic hit women in the workforce hard, so, what is the plan to get them back and to retain them. that is next.

people of color, women in low wage workers may be hardest hit. with me now, 15 cross graves, she is the president ceo of the national mittens law center. for tina, when we are talking about these unemployment benefits being pulled back early, who has the most to lose here? >> it is really a travesty. what we know is that the unemployment rate is much higher for black women and latino women in this country right now. that's especially true for younger women of color. and even some of whom got jobs more recently, they are more likely to be in voluntarily facing hard times. so that they're working but not with the hours and pay that they need to support themselves and to support their families. so, these poll backs on unemployment benefits are going to hit women, but women of color especially hard. >> there are a lot of people, patina, you know -- we will look at these numbers and say, i don't get it. they're all of these jobs that

are available, why not go and take one of them? the answer, which is not that complicated is, yes there may be jobs. there are not necessarily the type of good paying job that is going to get someone back on their feet. what is it going to take to provide, you know, not just jobs that are available, but jobs under which people can really comfortably live, raise a family? >> well, there's three things that we are tracking closely that is missing from this conversation. the first is where are those jobs coming from? most of that is in the hospitality and leisure sectors where women have long dominated, but also that have long paid really low wages, in restaurants, forcing workers to rely on tips. and also, these are jobs that have schedules that are unpredictable, and unstable. and it makes it hard for people to care and work. and so, until we attend to the low wages in those sectors, but

also the care prices in this country, we will have women, and especially moms in a terrible box. >> and i want to talk about that care crisis. because it is more in focus it seems to me than events ever been before in part because of the way that this administration framed their overall infrastructure plan. actually looking at the kara connally. the care economy as it now, fatima -- you know, it is unsustainable, right? it's not just about, can we get past this a bump in the road? it is about the fact that it is not working. there has to be a complete revision of americas care economy. well with that look like in your perfect world? >> so, the pandemic has highlighted -- things that have been long broken in our care economy. right now, we have a care economy that relies on the unpaid labor of mostly women. and the very underpaid labor of mostly women to do that work. and so, when our child care

sector, and elder care sector -- we should not have been surprised. the challenges family really cannot afford anymore. and that's why the american jobs and family plan is so important. because it makes a third investment to stabilize the sector and put it in a place we won't have this problem in the future. >> i guess the question that i keep asking myself, as i am watching all of this happening, is, if there is not the political will to get this done now, when will there ever be? >> we have shown a light on what has long been a crisis in this country. we cannot lose this opportunity to do right by women and families. but also to do right by our entire economy. maturing that we have the care infrastructure that we need. >> the team, thank you, as always. at the top of the hour, former cameras were spent a bit or rookie joins the many costs and show, to discuss voting rights in texas, and more. we'll be right back with that.

right back with that.

>> now, a story about selflessness and 18 helping others leading by example. it comes to us from fitch mark high school in massachusetts where a graduate, had a mom in mind when making a stunning decision. here is morgan redford. >> whenever the detail walked across the state to get her diploma, she did something no one expected. >> i am not the most in need of. it >> she asked to donate her

$40,000 in scholarship money. >> i would be so very grateful if administration would be -- would consider, giving the excellent scholarship to someone who is going to community college. >> was this is for the moment decision? >> i was very proud and happy at first, then i sat down and started -- it hit me,, like i said -- i made my mind up, i would do the right thing. >> she emigrated from the ghana to the u.s., her mother worked 80 hours a week while attending community college. when you were young, were you watching your mom work and go to school at the same time? >> yeah. i said, you can do it. just work hard. i'm paid off. >> a lesson she is putting forward. >> no matter what happens, i'm happy what i did. >> i love that this lady --

>> and, she already has. morgan redford, nbc news, new york. >> incredible, that is where we will leave it on this sunday. and for this weekend, thank you for being with us, i'm alicia menendez. i'll see you next weekend for more american voices. >> wonderful to be with you this sunday. and for joshua johnson. president biden is in brussels tonight, ahead of the nato summit. but everyone is awaiting the presidents meeting of vladimir putin later this week. and it is the end of an era tonight, israel. netanyahu is ousted as prime minister after 12 years thanks to some unlikely allies. plus, movie star in journalist -- is here. first we will check politics, and then in the heights. and with the film means for latino representation. from nbc nato's royal headquarters in new york, welcome to the week. e to the week.

, >> president biden wrapped up the g7s of him and in england today where he focused on rebuilding our international relationships. >> i felt a genuine sense of enthusiasm that america was back on the table. and fully engaged. his diplomatic skills were tested again when he sits down again with vladimir putin this week. we will have more on that in a moment, but first to concerns about our own democracy here at home. democrats top priority for protecting voting rights, the for the people lacked appears doomed thanks to one of their own senator joe manchin. but today, house speaker nancy pelosi some optimism as she sees a glass half full. >> i don't give up on joe manchin. i read the article, the update, i think he left the door open. i think it is a jar, i'm not gonna -- >> we will just have to see how long that ajar door remains open. meanwhile, the justice department abandoned its own

efforts to force voting rights. here's what's associated trinity -- msnbc's jonathan kaye park this morning. >> i think there's no question we are now that we are experiencing a normal challenge, to our democracy. some would even say that we are on crisis on voting rights. >> yes. some do say that. so, are we? are we in a voting crisis? washington post columnist harry bacon juniors one who says yes. he wrote this, as republicans keep undermining our election system, america becoming less democratic -- that is an existential threat and should be treated like one. but conservative -- ross do talk argues that we are all doomed attitude is extremely premature. let's discuss this with our panel -- msnbc political honest. christine chan is executive director of api vote. and maria -- the on one and only superstar,

of support our media group. thank you for joining us. >> i want to start with you, when eat the. what are the chances right now that we will see some sort of legislation that will protect the voting rights and modernize our election system. >> look, maria personally, i don't have speaker pelosi is glass half full outlook right now. like it's a moment where manchin has been explicitly clear an op-ed did not leave the door open. he said, i will not support this and we know that civil rights leaders have been in his office, progressive groups in his office advocating to him, making the points. but he has not been moved. i'm not sure than anybody will move him, but let's keep in mind that he represents west virginia. the premise that it would further divide the country is what's shows that he is not

operating in this reality where black, latino, api and indigenous voters exist. where we know that our rights are being challenged. where we know what it feels like to wait in those long lines or to face any type of discrimination at the polls. and so, manchin may enjoy his lofty post as a senator, but he's not recognizing the threats that voters are facing. and when we have these laws as the brenton center has reported in the past, 14 states, 22 different voter suppression laws. that continues across the country. and unless there is congressional action like we saw from democrats in the state house, who walked out of the chambers, stop the latest law from passing, they said, unless we have congress act, this is something that we will be able to continue to fight. >> i think that is absolutely right. >> first and, i've a question for you, one thing that juanita underscored is that manchin seems to be out of touch with the rest of the country.

perhaps he's been a senator a little too long. but i know that you are front and center in the field talking to individuals, trying to get them access to the polls. but at the same time making sure that their vote counts. talk about the differentiation that you see manchin talking about versus -- recently was one of those people also in the field. what is the difference there? >> we just experience a 2020 census, and there is a huge shift in terms of teaching demographics. and we can see that in the last decade. you know, asian american pacific islander community is extremely alarmed, that just as more voters are using our rights to get our voices heard through the electoral system, while barriers are in place. i think this is the time that we need to reengage everyone that perhaps have typically have got, okay, you know what, i voted in the presidential election sometimes a vote in the midterms but they are not

as activated in between. this is where we're asking everyone to go ahead and participate and make their voices known. and educate themselves and have these discussions about what these voter suppression laws are looking like. for instance, asian americans are the fastest growing racial and ethnic group and the work of our community partners focuses on engaging at the same rate of other communities. and we made tremendous tribes in 2020. many reports and data focus on the cycle, highlights how the -- increase by 47% relative to 2016 presidential elections. and 73% of asian americans voted early voted by mail. in places like georgia, it was as high as 85%, or 89% in arizona and texas. and believing that us all americans can benefit, and believe that our democracy is truly one and only by -- who are eligible, we know that one of the biggest reasons for

not voting for the api voter in the past, is the excuse that they are too busy. and that is truly the case for a lot of other people. so, making sure that all of these abilities and options -- whether it's at the state level, or making sure that at the federal level restore the voting rights. acts >> maria, and to bring you in on the gop state stella his -- and the gop in general. basically saying what they don't like to see. that is an emerging multi cultural america. i'm gonna walk you through a graphic so bear with. me i want to get your reaction in 2003 latinos officially became the largest demographic in the united states. 2003. the census revealed that the latino boom was going to be in the future battleground states, virginia, arizona, nevada, georgia, pennsylvania texas,

north carolina, sounding familiar? however, in 2013 the getting of the voting rights act leads to voter suppression. and the 22 jurisdictions were all where they saw a latino boom where they saw voter suppression leading from 2013 to 2015. and then something happens. from 2003 latinos become the second largest voting demographic in. 2020, they became the second largest eligible voting demographic meeting that they finally were able to vote in and actually voted a multi cultural america. something that juanita talked about and christine talked about. is this accidental? that we are seeing places like texas in georgia who are already dead last one comes to voting they're trying to create more restrictions on multi cultural america? what's a? you >> maria teresa i have to say because i was born in mexico, and chose to become an american citizen i'm kind of a democrat democracy junkie [interpreter] [interpreter] . i made a decision to believe in

this country and so, it is not accidental i'm not seeing this as glass half full at all. i -- it's crazy i'm like, most warnings all wake up and i'll be thinking about the state of american democracy and what am i finally going to do and how my going to leave my adult children in this country were being attacked. so no. what people don't understand, right, is what this actually looks like. georgia. georgia led by black -- in terms of leading the vote. with the push of the rear guard was asian and latino voters -- that is increasingly going to be repeated. this is only going to increase. so, i agree with everybody on the panel. we need to get to work. the only good thing is that

this is not happening in the back rooms were used to. we're seeing this and it's happening in realtime and at least in this moment you have this group of women who are saying that we are not going to take this anymore. >> >> and one of the things that we saw is a.g. paxton is right now under investigation in texas because he filed lawsuits of unfair elections and uncertified elections in states that he does not belong to. we're talking about him doing that in pennsylvania and doing it in georgia. the list goes on. can you talk a bit about he's on the hook for? and possibility -- what he might be possibly the consequences for him? >> yeah, the claim here is that he filed this lawsuit in bad faith and presents misleading information as we all know. 2020 was not one of the most secure elections that we've experience and he's claiming election fraud. it's a basis for his claim that, let's be real -- own solicitor general would not

sign off on it. his solicitor general even after he left his office and so in filing this claim we have now the state bar looking into whether or not he should be disbarred for abusing his legal license, and presenting misleading information in bad faith. what i find striking about this and politics is that this could be something that actually appeals to trump loyalists who say paxton were out for trump. he's still out there defending himself, and supporting trump's big lie. we know it's something that is opponents will absolutely use against him politically if he makes it to the general election showing that he should not be attorney general for the state. and i know that the proceedings are going to be close with the state bar association. but if there is anything that reveals itself through witnesses or subpoenas, hearings that they hold. it could be a model for holding other attorneys accountable to sign on to this lawsuit across

the country as well. >> so, digging into more of what we're seeing in texas in georgia, christine, you mentioned the rise of the asian -- folks don't realize that in texas and million aapi folks are eligible to vote and we're gonna see more of them coming up just like in the latino community where we may see roughly about 250,000 more young latino youth eligible to vote in the midterm. what does that say about the shenanigans that the republican state legislators are trying to do to prevent individuals from voting in a fair election? you know -- >> i believe they know that they're changing demographics. and that's why they're using those shenanigans. the proposed legislation in texas would grant autonomy and authority to partisan poll watchers. we are really concerned that we believe that immigrant voters especially who do not speak english well would be targeted and used as a fire tactic. they're also banning or trying to ban drive-through voting in

24-hour voting which were used in the 2020 elections for the first time in harris county. we know that that is home to houston and a growing number of immigrant voters. the beauty that is happening is that in the lobbies county immigrant voters, a lot of organizations are working and coalition and they're actually seeing this and they are activating their voices, they are actually participating and reaching out to their elected officials. once again, i think this is a time where everybody needs to take this as seriously as participating in 2020 and making sure that we, you know, voter suppression laws are not enacted. >> i think your underscoring what happened last november. it was a rising multi cultural america that voted in force and made a change. it was a future forward. now, we are seeing a republican

party that doesn't like the future that is already present and that is voting. i want to thank you, all of you, for joining us tonight. maria, i'll speak to you again and are our about in the heights. >> still to come, why -- in the heights has us all in our feelings. plus, israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu is out of a job tonight after more than a decade. we will tell you about the man replacing him. and up next, secretary of state anthony blinken tells nbc's adrienne mitchell that president biden will hold russia accountable for a string of cyberattacks. what will that look like? but first, richard louis is here with headlines. hi richard. >> hi maria teresa, something to watch for, you federal court in texas on saturday dismissed a lawsuit over covid 19 vaccinations. 117 used in the hospital employees challenge their employers vaccination requirement. the employees lawyer said that they would appeal to the u.s. supreme court if necessary. and rapper paulo g whose real name is -- was arrested following a

traffic stop in miami saturday. he was charged with battery against a police officer, he appeared to mention the incident on his twitter account saying, air go, player found in miami. novak djokovic won the french open after a thrilling match against stephanos to seep us. he lost the first two sets, then came back to win the last three, to win the tournament. this 19th grand slam. more ahead, after the break.

guys, as we get older, we all lose testosterone. force factor's test x180 works to boost it back. build muscle, increase energy, fuel desire, and improve performance. rush to walmart for test x180, the #1 fastest-growing testosterone brand in america. >> president joe biden is in

brussels tonight ahead of another busy week of diplomacy, beginning with the nato summit. including a face to face with russian president the lateral putin. he told nbc news that he believes relations between the countries are at their worst ever. that secretary of state anthony blinken tells nbc's victoria mitchell that he is optimistic about america's place in the world. >> this meeting with president putin is not having a vacuum space. very successful summit -- meeting with the eaves leader -- china doesn't adoring, we are finding that we are able to bring together effectively diplomatically politically, economically, militarily, and that is a very strong foundation upon which to engage the challenges posed by russia or china, or anyone else for

that matter. >> joining me now is -- she's the host of youtube series, oh my world, the former spokesperson for the u.s. mission to the united nations, and former director for syria and lebanon at the national security council. thank you so much for joining me, my first question to you is, here is what biden had to say in advance. what do we make of? it take a listen. >> the best way to deal with this is for here not to have our discussion, i know about our concerns. >> why do you think he has not changed his behavior in spite of everything the u.s. is down at this point? >> he is letting putin. >> how much tension should we expect in these meetings? >> listen, it is definitely going to be tense, right? i mean, president biden has said that he is going to let putin know what he wants to know.

those were his exact words of his speech on friday. and i expect him to be straightforward with him and say this is the type of behavior we're not gonna tolerate. we won't tolerate you interfering in our elections and allowing hackers to hack our government and to pursue ransomware attacks on our companies and infrastructure. we're not gonna allow you to interfere in the ukraine -- and in syria in this way. so, i do expect him to be straight. but i also expect him to say, by the way, these are the things we will work on. we want to work on the iran deal, we want to work on arms control. so, he has said and secretary of state blinken has said that, the goal is to create this kind of stable relationship from which they can have this dialog and this conversations. and that is very important. but it is going to be tense. and i do believe that this is why president biden has said that he does not want a press conference with president putin. i think it's because he doesn't want attention. he doesn't want the public in the press harping on details and signs that would hype that

tension up. >> is it that they don't want the tension? or is it that biden is trying to put putin in his place saying that they are not on level ground given all of the potential nefarious activity that russia seems to be behind. when i say this, i'm talking about potential ransomware incidents that happen. hacking we're seeing. the list goes on. >> that could certainly be. it of course, when i was at the white house, we used to view things in that light. you definitely see it with this administration. for example, in southern approach saudi arabia not dealing with the crown prince. they do not view the crown prince on the level of, there was biden, which is complete true unfair -- so, it could be that. but in their words president biden has said that he doesn't want the press focusing on details that could undermine his key message or could make it seem as though -- you know, that could weaken as points. i understand what he means. he means that he's probably a bit concerned that people --

you know -- this is the very first meeting the two of them will have since biden is president. and following four years where we had a previous president who really did not stand up to president putin and communication really does matter. even though president trump did impose sanctions. communications do matter heavily. i think biden doesn't want to detract from his message. there are pros and cons to this. a pro is those control that they can have their. the press conference may not run out of their hands. on the flip, russians are master minute polluters. we will go tell the world what went on in the meeting even if not all of it was true. and then the white house will be left chasing that message. so, that's a little frustrating. but this is important to remember that this will be the first step in many to try and increase the pressure on russia and tell them flat out what we will and won't want. >> nbc's own had a chance to

sit down with putin. take a listen, i love your reaction. >> when president biden was asked if you are a killer, he said, i do. mister president, are you a killer? >> [end of translation] over my tenure i've been used to attacks from all kinds of angles, all kinds of pretext and reasons. different caliber, and fierceness. none of it surprises me. so as far as harsh rhetoric, i think that this is an expression of overall u.s. culture. >> very different tactic under trump. under trump basically, when similar questions were asked of donald trump, he basically said that, we have to look at ourselves before we point over to russia. this is a complete rooster reversal. biden is being very clear what he thinks of. putin is trying to deflect. how -- how is he strategy going walking in as it's going to be tense in this meeting? what's he thinking? >> i expect putin to deny

absolutely everything that biden throws his way. the meeting himself might not be productive. because you're gonna have biden say, don't hack our government, towing to interfere in our elections. don't interfere anywhere -- don't -- don't allow hackers to press ransomware attacks. and putin is going to smirk as he did another summits and say, i have no idea what you're talking about. that's not who we are. if you really want to pursue positive relations, this is not the way to deal with me. he's going to be difficult. it's gonna be a bit and secure, right? as secretary of state, blinken said, biden will be coming off of these meetings with the g7 in the nato summit. and then nato is the biggest thorn in putin side. he hates nato. and it's his biggest threat. the reason for that is that nato continues to grow. it continues to accept countries members that run up to russia's border. and in some wine is gonna come

into this meeting very strategically. they're gonna meet on neutral ground. he's gonna go in there with, having had these meetings, haven't had as look having all these countries behind him, as unified front -- this will shake putin up a bit. even if it's not productive as it seems it will be. it is a step interesting putin's arm a little bit, to say, you know, we are not alone in this. we have all of these folks behind us. we are not going to rest. this is just the beginning of the biden administration. and their efforts to rally international coalition to object to russia's nefarious behavior. >> i want to underscore something that you mentioned. one of the biggest challenges that america and the nato countries have with russia specifically, is that, this idea of cybersecurity and cyber interference. it's kind of like a pinky square. i'm not gonna do it. but there's no real type of repercussion in the event that

-- what do we have -- what tools do we have at our disposal to enforce this pinky swear? so that when ransomware does come on a mop, there are consequences for folks such as russia and the russian government? >> i'm so glad you asked this question -- it's a tough, one and i love it when it was it's a difficult one, tough one to crack. i happen to know the treasury department very well, i worked there for a long time. there are executive orders -- to sanction those engaged in what was called, malign, cyber activity. so it comes at a range of cyber related issues, even at treasury we knew that this was not the silver bullet. it might not be the best way, but we are trying to figure it out. so, you've seen the government do that since riding continued under since -- biden sanction those types of actors, and what needs to happen at the end of the day is

what would be preferable is an international body taking that responsibility and not just having a b lateral for the united states. >> thank you so much for that alignment. today thanks for being with us. >> coming up on monday, and nbc news worldwide exclusive. don't miss vladimir putin interview in moscow but. you can catch up monday on today on nbc nightly news with lester holt and msnbc. next, brand new reporting and fresh denial from former trump officials as we learn more about those secret geo doj subpoenas. oj subpoenas.

counsel. according to two people briefed on the matter. one of the sources told the times apple only notified again last month and it's still unclear with the fbi agents were scrutinizing nor whether mr. gang was there specific focus. this of course follows news that trump's doj secretly sees personal data from reporters and democratic members of congress. earlier this week, former attorney generals sessions in bill barr each denied knowledge of any secret subpoenas. but house speaker nancy pelosi is skeptical. she spoke earlier today. >> how could it be that there could be investigation on other members in the other branch of the government and present in the rest too. and the attorneys general did not know so who are these people and are they still in the justice department? >> joining me now to discuss is nbc correspondent candle lanny. i have a question for you. how could they not know that

this was happening? walk me through it. >> that's an excellent question and i think it's one that the inspector general of the justice department hopefully get to the bottom of he's investigating this matter but this isn't complicated issue that goes beyond a typical partisan food fight, maria teresa because the prosecution of leeds has been going on for a long time. in fact the obama administration for -- than any other administration in history so there are career prosecutors at the justice department and career civil servants who are only too happy to put people in prison if they think that leaked classified information and apparently they're willing to go after phone records and democratic members of congress to do it. normally though the attorney general and the people at the top of the executive branch would rain those prosecutors and would say there >> despite the suspicions, are competing interests jimmy manderach denied any there. their involvement with his daughter's leads are bad but death or his wife's so is grabbing phone records as disappearance. as night fell, a first amendment issue here so

is grabbing the records of police feared they would never democratic members of congress and so in this administration you had donald find lisa manderach alive. trump screaming about leaks, you had jeff sessions say you are gonna prosecute and it's very possible that an investigation got approved and certain things were greenlight and then the prosecutors ran with it. that's at least the stories that we're getting close to jeff sessions and bill barr all of whom say they've never prove disappear for the records of chairman of the house intelligence committee and it appears that one democratic staffer was the focus of this investigation but we now have seen subpoenas that went to apple and microsoft looking for email addresses and phone records associated with more than 100 different email addresses and phone numbers including adam schiff and eric swallow to members of congress so that needs to be explained and i think your question is a good one but one theory is that some prosecutors thought they had a green light to do things and they just went ahead with it. >> i have a question for you. i thought it was apple that notified these individuals and it wasn't a department of

justice. isn't that unusual? >> yes this whole thing is unusual. the fact that the doj got a judge to order a gag order to prevent apple and microsoft from telling these people that their records have been grabbed. normally you would be told if the government goes after your records and you'd have to litigate and watch the subpoena and in this case they convince the judge that it has to remain secret and apple and microsoft expressed frustration about that. although they didn't say they wanted to go to court to challenge the gag order. that's a question i have for them if they haven't answered yet but yes once the gag order was lifted it wasn't the biden justice department which would think they would happen it was apple that said he was members of congress and one source i talked to thought it was spam. it was so disorderly worded and that's how they learned that the records had been seized. >> i think what's most disturbing is that they also have attached and retrieve

minors. there's one miner involved in this incident and i sumo's at a congressional staffers kid or was it a member of the congress child and why would they go after a minors evolution? >> here's how that could happen. so they subpoenaed the records upstate democratic staffer who is under investigation. and then they saw 100 phone numbers that that staffer was communicating with and they sent a subpoena to apple saying i want the record associated with these 100 -- i think was actually 700 phone numbers and 30 something email addresses not knowing who they're attached to so if a congressman happens use one of his children's phones to talk to a staffer at some point that's how that would happen. it doesn't mean that they were targeting the minor but nonetheless for these members or whoever was it was very disconcerting to know that the justice department was secretly spying on you essentially. especially because, maria

teresa, these are members of the intelligence committee. we trust them with the most guarded secrets. they're briefed on covert cia action and all kinds of intelligence matters. so the idea that, if they weren't trusted their access should have been cut off but that didn't happen so it's really a very strange situation. >> ken, i think the challenge is that it seems strange but when we realize that what they were investigating was the same people they were looking into >> jimmy manderach said he was the russia connection at home alone, watching potentially with trump and then football on the day his daughter was murdered and his you hear more about the access wife disappeared. of the stuff that you're covering oftentimes with >> they were his everything to him. i think that it would have national security and how been harder for him to wake up russia seems to be a threat through our elections and any day and imagine them not through these investigations, being there -- you know, when they weren't, it really, like, it really gives a pause and say literally ripped his heart out. what is happening. >> jimmy said he gave devon a take a step back. cookie and some pretzels before it seems to be all she left with lisa for the interconnected somehow. store. can, i want to thank you for >> at first, there was some joining us this evening. i know that it was a bit of a fun jumping through the hoops but i'm appreciative of your insights. question, naturally, what we could do to verify his story. when we found her car, the >> great to be with you, cookie and the pretzel rod were thanks maria theresa. >> thank you. tonight, israel's netanyahu is out as prime minister after in the car. it may not be of 12 years and a pretty unlikely any scientific value, but it coalition made it happen. helps verify the story. >> and one of the neighbors said that jimmy's car was at

that's next. home all afternoon, which confirmed his alibi. investigators looked into other leads. >> the fact that the car is parked there leads us to believe that devon and lisa reached the parking lot. now, were they abducted at that point? did they go in, or were they abducted on the way out? >> they learned that a local motorcycle gang met that day near the shopping center and wondered if lisa and devon might have had some sort of contact with them. jimmy's beautiful young wife would have an easy target. >> lisa was gorgeous, very pretty. she was like snow white. she had black hair, very fair skin. she was just very pretty. >> an intense search for lisa began in valley forge national park the day after devon's body was discovered there. helicopters, bloodhounds, and a cadaver dog combed the 3,500-acre site. at the

shopping center, police asked employees and customers if they had seen anything suspicious the day before. no one recalled seeing devon, lisa, or any members of the motorcycle gang. there were two children's stores at the shopping center. employees at annie sez did not recognize lisa or devon as customers from the day before. but a shopper at your kidz & mine said she remembered seeing them inside that store around 3:30 on sunday as she was paying for her items. >> we were able to track down that transaction off the journal tape in the cash register. in fact, that was the last entry on the cash register journal tape for that day. so we were able to say exactly what time that woman made her purchase, and we knew that devon and lisa were alive in that store. >> your kidz & mine was owned by a woman named ruth fairley. her 22-year-old son, caleb, had

been working alone in the store that sunday. police contacted caleb fairley by telephone. he told them he hadn't seen anyone resembling lisa and devon in the store, but he agreed to meet with detectives to look at photographs. when he arrived at police headquarters, investigators noticed that he was wearing makeup. >> i went and got a wet paper ie

just hours ago, right-wing leader naftali bennett became israeli's new prime minister. it brought an end to benjamin netanyahu is 12 consecutive years is leader. moments ago secretary of state anthony blinken said the u.s. is looking forward to working closely with a new prime minister. a spokesperson for hamas has also reacted to the news. he said that the shakeup will not change the way that they deal with the israeli government. nbc news foreign correspondent kelly cobiella is live from tel aviv. >> maria teresa no doubt a sea change in israeli politics tonight. this is a big big deal. the voting to confirm this new coalition government by razor-thin margin. just one vote, 60 to 59 we have been told all week long that

this would be a very close vote that this coalition government could not afford to lose a single lawmaker and there was intense pressure on a lot of these right-wing lawmakers who are part of this government to drop out. part on the pressure of benjamin netanyahu when this vote went through the former prime minister sat stonefaced to a dude staring straight ahead and after a moment got up and shuck next tony bennett's hand. natalie bennett the new prime minister of israel sworn in shortly after that vote has already held his first cabinet meeting and has already gotten congratulations from the white house and president biden who called and said that israel has no better friend than the u.s. and also offered his congratulations to the prime minister and his new cabinet and the two men already on a phone call as well confirming the u.s. israel alliance pledging to work together going forward but there will be

differences notably on the iran nuclear arrangement and those talks. naftali bennett saying earlier today in a speech that he was strongly opposed to reforming the iran nuclear deal to the u. s. rejoining that deal. that's one thing where -- one issue where he absolutely stands aligned with the former prime minister and there are lots of other challenges to discover new government will face in the days going forward but for tonight, israelis some of that many way are celebrating in part because they won't have to go through a fifth election in two years. right teresa. >> thank you, that was nbc's kelly reporting it's been called the event of the summer. in the heights >> this place? this is it. >> just after, this will also join me live to talk about the

diverse latino experiences in the film. we'll be right back.

[noise] she gets into college without papers, right? but no work study for her. so she doesn't get to go to college? >> that was a scene from my next guest role in the new film, in the heights. the majority of the latino cast in the film stands out when the latino actors are very little visibility. the film, adopted from the musical and hamilton co-creator, tells the stories of a generation of residents and business owners in new york city's washington heights during production, he hit jews portrayals of latinos identify start-ups they moved away from the warm, how trump's two

blockbuster movies and instead, celebrated the community turning against it is president and founder of media, actor and author of once i was you, love and hate in a torn america maria, i have to say, i watched this in one of the prescreen's and when you came out on there and had a conversation and you were neither trying to organize the recipients, i was filled with troy. talk to me a little bit about that experience. >> oh my, gosh sweetie, people who know me know that about 40 years ago, i came to new york to be an actor. but i turned into a journalist. and so, this is my message there were everybody out there. really, it's never give up on a dream. just never give up on a dream and i think, you, know in the height in many ways is never give up on a dream. i mean, this has been in creation for so long. i mean, it starts in the dorm

rooms, slowly makes its way off broadway gets on broadway and many stops and starts to get to this actual point and then it's a pandemic. it's, like are you kidding me? it's a pandemic. so right now, you are right this is a film that is helping to change the narrative entirely about who we are. you know, i lived in washington heights, and i'm just like, yeah, this is a film it's a musical. but you know what? we were dancing below in the basement areas of our apartment buildings. we were having parties, people were chanting on the fire escapes. we were in fact making music wherever we were. and also, it was a community that was really challenged. i, mean when i was living there in the 19 eighties, this is when crack was flooded into this neighborhood and you know why? because it was easy to get in and out of washington heights and that's why they allowed the drugs to flood into our

communities it wasn't us. it was easy drug dealing for outsiders coming into our communities. this is a movie, you know maria teresa, this is who we are. okay yes, we don't all that and all the time, but this is the narrative. >> but we do. 11 people asked, me how deep is your thanksgiving different from ours? and i say, well, we are turkey and then we move the table and we dance. we actually do that. for the love about this film is the nuance on the characters. identified so much with the young woman because it was so much more experience of one young women who's a first person in her family to go to college, feeling that sense of being an impostor and then another young woman who wanted to be able to exercise her artistic abilities based on her talent, not because she was a latina. and, then there was also the young man who found out that he was a dreamer. he was on documented so he was unable to pursue his dreams talk about those nuances because i think that's what really captures the essence of being latino in america? >> so i want to give a big

shout out to the screenwriter people are like john shoes, oh my god. he's extraordinary, by the way. i love you drawn to. but he era, she is the one who writes the screenplay. and so, every single word that you see there which to me is poetry is because it came through her and what she did is actually take a script and i was written for the stage and the three very 2020, 2021 reality. there was no undocumented storyline in the play. she made that happen in this film because we needed to talk about what's happening now. and i think that the reaction that you're seeing from latinos and latinos and other people, allies across the country are just saying, it's helping us to understand what that feels like. gregory diaz, who plays this character is a store in his own amin, i think that's another beautiful thing maria teresa, is that a lot of these actors were unknown, really. so, i guess because name

would've been mark anthony in many ways, you know, who's been around for a long time but, there's a lot of love in terms of giving many latinos and latinos voice and by the way i want to address the criticism because i know it's out there. and i think everybody involved with this film, i just had an hour-long conversation with my daughter about this as well yes, people want -- we live in a very critical time in our country. the idea and the notion of talking about not having enough black latino, afro latino play as it is real and has to be heard and i think it really is being heard deeply. at the same time, i think what we understand is that there is a lot of critique but there is a lot of love, mary teresa, and i think it is because what you are trying to do a, journalists which is to correct a narrative. and we can do both things. we can hear a critical voice and say, yes, yes we have to think about giving more

visibility to have realty nose and, we can go celebrate this movie, have a great time, be dancing, screaming in the aisles people were, by the way, take your tissues >> digger tissues and maria, i want to ask you another question because i think one of the challenges we see is the lack of representation in hollywood. that there is less than 7%, i believe, hollywood in executive positions, film yet, we are 20% of the population. oftentimes, you and i have spoken that is the lack of this representation that allow stereotypes and allows that politicians to rise because people don't know who we are how is this different? >> well, i think this is different because was a very conservative effort to again, bring our community and all of this beauty and simplicity. there are a couple of words they want to say that are actually written by kara, which is, you know, small ways of asserting our dignity little details that show the world that we are not invisible. and, you, know if you look at this film and you see some of

those little details, there's these beautiful field where we are disputing our food. an important to. and then, how can it be so beautiful? that's what makes this film different. it's those little details made of love for latinos and latinos, immigrants and all of us. >> you're absolutely, right go watch it and bring tissues. thank you for making time for us tonight. was good to be with you joshua johnson will be back next week. remember to join him friday night at seven eastern on peacock and on msnbc saturdays from 8 to 10 sundays at nine. have a wonderful weekend and enjoy, goodnight. so we're hitting the streets to see what people really think; let's go. what's a good credit score? go. um, 600. um, maybe if you're trying to pay thousands extra in interest rates.
