♪ choose better, be better. and now save when you order in the app. subway®. eat fresh. good day. this is "andrea mitchell reports" in washington where president biden is monitoring a wave of new developments on his top priorities. the white house is reviewing a new bipartisan pitch on infrastructure as relief negotiations takes another step forward and voting rights seems to be the most divisive issue on capitol hill. the president will be speaking about the pandemic this afternoon as a dangerous new delta variant spreads across the country and the pace of vaccinations slows to a crawl

putting his goal of vaccinating 70% of adults with one shot seemingly out of reach. today only hours after president biden made juneteenth, millions are celebrating with the vote by the senate and immediately signed into law by the white house. >> welcome to all of you. garrett, a lot happening. juneteenth in a brief holding pattern. tell us where we stand on these three big issues heading into a critical weekend. >> lawmakers have a chance to catch their breath going into next week where on monday we expect to see the details of that bipartisan infrastructure

plan that has been getting worked out behind closed doors for several weeks. that will tell us a lot. and the white house reaction. a two-track structure where we see what they can agree to. the price tag well into the trillions could make moderates nervous. on tuesday we will see a test. it is the election package that democrats made their priority. this will fail tuesday. if it fails with republicans united in opposing it and democrats supporting it.

joe manchin could say they are starting debate. republicans hate the provisions on ballot harvesting and how elections are funded. the other part is police reform. negotiators are deep into the details, the kind of thing that can trip up a negotiating process. because this has been so closely held for so long, there is now yet another deadline trying to finish that bill by july, not leaving it through the august recess. i am optimistic and lawmakers think they can get to a deal, but they are in thorny issues on that. >> that's tim scott and karen bass and a lot of people trying to work that out. a hard one it is. the president said on the tarmac in geneva he doesn't have a

play-by-play on capitol hill on the trip overseas. what are you hearing about these negotiations? >> the president would probably like to be talking about the white house considers a successful trip overseas. on the tarmac he was peppered with questions about domestic agenda that waited for him now. the president back here 36 hours. you and i without the benefit of a seat on the plane. you heard before the president left that among his senior staff who stayed behind to work on this package feels like there is room between the two book ends. the more than $6 trillion

package versus what the bipartisan group has put together. the president has always tried to negotiate the biggest deal possible and then as he put it, fight over the rest. the early read on where the bipartisan package stands is that they are pleased to see the process continuing to move forward, but they had questions about what is in the package and what is not. but also about the pay force. the white house has drawn a few red lines, one of them what the president considers increase on taxes for the middle class including gas inflation. we will wait to see what comes together next week. some of the democrats on this committee say they are working to take that part out of the plan. the white house would welcome it, especially if they can be sure there is republican support

needed to get 60 votes. all of this is moot if they don't get 60 points. and they need to do the reconciliation package. then you worry if progressives might buck the pack j that is smaller than they want. >> the goal was to get a handful to support president obama. this time all of the attention is on joe manchin. and that has many frustrated. >> if you add joe manchin and maybe up to 11 republicans, the question is how many democrats on the other side do you end up losing, particularly if the provisions of this legislation don't include things around climate that are really important to a lot of democrats in the senate and in the house. that will be interesting to

watt. -- watch. it is interesting that they have got something but they don't know what's in it or how it's paid for is going to work. i think in some ways the news around the support of this seems to be a bit farther ahead than the actual proposal. i think watching police reform will be important because it seems like it's farther down the track and seems like there has been a willingness on each side to find some kproe marked for identifications compromises and move this forward. >> that is such a critical issue. that divides the political parties, divides across different lines. you have divisions in police units about this, the sheriff.

>> i don't think any of this is going to be easy. to garrett's point, when you get to this point in negotiation, all of the easy stuff, if there is any easy stuff in compromise these days is done. you are down to the hard stuff. if you can't get something like this done, i don't think that augers for a lot of other stuff getting done in a larger bipartisan way. i think it's going to be a big challenge much i think if you can't get this over the finish line, it might be a longer, hotter summer in washington than most people expect. >> the congressional office hasses to score those. we are not going to get there. let's have better tax collection. that's not a hard amount of money you can count on.

>> and i think there is danger for democrats in the gas tax. i think you have seen in more the rural states argue that that might not be the easiest pay for in the world to swallow for democrats. i think it's interesting. i think they are farther away in getting this thing to 60 votes or 61 votes than we think they are or where some of the news might be. if you are still arguing about the substance of what's in it and how you pay for it, it does seem like a leap. >> robert gibbs who has been there and done that before. thanks to all of you. new words of praise for president biden from russia's vladimir putin. but will the summit help mend the relationship. stay with us. stay with us

russia's president vladimir putin is back in moscow and lavishing president biden with praise where putin refused to take any responsibility for the cyber attacks. >> this image shown by russian and u.s. media doesn't

correspond. president biden is professional. he doesn't miss a thing. he understands what he wants to achieve and reaches it very carefully. >> madeleine albright joins me today. i would love to hear your reaction. >> great to be with you and excellent coverage through this whole thing. my reaction is that this was a very important meeting and summit that is really the beginning of a process much it's interesting to follow what the reactions are by butte nin, what he just said, and also the kinds of things that president biden has said. i think that it was a successful summit. by the way, andrea, i teach at georgetown and teach on the

national security tool box. summits are a tool of diplomacy. they are part of a very important part of the tool box because they are an action mechanism for both of the governments being dealt with. i think from that perspective it was a successful and important meeting. >> there is a lot of criticism from republicans in congress, some republicans, mccarthy saying that president biden gave putin a pass. we didn't hear that in the trump administration at helsinki. from the president's account and everyone's account he was strong on where they disagreed. >> i think i would expect that kind of comment from people in

our country to don't understand what happened during the trump meeting and how useful this meeting was. it is something that, as i just said, is a beginning of a process. it laid out an agenda. president biden said what he needed to in terms of what needed to be done and what the process would be in order to go forward. it was not celebrating something. it was very clear. president biden said this is not built on trust. it is built on hard work. i really do think the criticism is uncalled for. that is why i said what i said in terms of it not being a gift. it is a tool and was used effectively to begin a complicated process that will now take the time of both of our governments. >> i wanted to ask you about

alexi navalny. putin wouldn't mention his name. blamed him for violating parole when he went to germany after the assasination attempt with nerve gas. but president biden said it would be impact on putin if he died in jail. there is nothing that the u.s. can do about navalny or other members who are in prison with the political party completely outlawed. >> i think drawing the kind of attention that president biden has and members of congress has, is very, very important, that what is going on in russia is

being watched. putin's explanation or lack of is really the fact that he's delusional in terms of describing what we know happened. the poisoning on the airplane, his transfer to a hospital in germany. i really do think his dedication to the cause of having some kind of a functional government in russia where those in opposition are not jailed, but recognized. i really do think -- i'm very sure that the things that president biden said about navalny registered even though not physically, but i think we need to stay on the case and make clear about the important of what navalny is doing and the opposition in russia which is in a number of places, not just moscow. >> you have met with vladimir putin in the past. can you share any insight into what he's like off camera.

>> he's a cold fish. i first met him at an apex meeting in new zealand when he was still prime minister. at that stage he was trying to ingratiate himself. i first met with him to prepare the summit and went to the summit with president clinton. what was interesting was how, first of all, putin certainly enjoyed being in the grandeur of the kremlin as a setting. when we had our meeting, it was clear that he was very well prepared, as was president clinton and that putin had no notes but took notes on what president clinton was saying. and then an amusing aspect of it, in the evening there was some attempt at being cordial. putin put on a jazz concert. all of the musicians were very old because they didn't do a lot

of jazz later and somebody made the saxophone. president clinton could not sit still for ten seconds when there is music. putin sat there ram rod straight, no movement at all. >> if there is other cyber attacks, the president said we have tools. should we take action? >> i think we need to respond to it. i think president biden deliberately said that, rightly. i do think one of the most important things about this summit was recognizing the fact that we had to deal with the issue of cyber. it is obviously one of the more new complex hybrid tools of warfare. i am glad there is a national cyber director made because this has to be an all of government

response, first of all to the deterrence, but then whatever we need to do. there need to be new rules to the game. this is new and i think needs to occupy our government and ally governments because this is the tool of the future and we need to recognize when we would do it offensively and what the defense is. it's very, very important. >> all seriousness aside, one of my fondest memories ever is walking with you through red square on one of your first trips as secretary. when you finished your job at the kremlin that day, we walked through. it was a wonderful moment. >> isn't that an amazing place? >> yes, indeed. >> it was great traveling with you always. thank you very much. >> thank you for your service on going and for being with us

as the white house scrambles to get his stated goal of having 70% of americans have at least one dose of vaccine by july 4. but they are playing catch-up with what they are calling a national month of action. as many as 14 million would need to get their first dose just to meet the goal. this comes as we see the delta variant across the u.s. nice to see you, doctor. on abc it was asked whether they saw seeing the delta virus becoming the dominant virus. >> essentially, when these mutate, they do so with some advantage to the virus. in this case it's more transmissible than the alpha variant or uk variant we have

here. it became a dominant strain in one or two months and i anticipate that is what will happen with the delta strain here. >> what can we do here? i heard it's 40% more transmissible. that's pretty alarming. >> it is alarming. about 10% of our new cases of coronavirus cases are from the delta variant. it's possibly higher. we are not sequencing all of the cases. the other thing that is troubling -- you should be alarmed. we should encourage vaccinations as the president and vice president continue to push. but people need to recognize we see different symptoms. we got used to the fever, cough, loss of smell or taste. myself and other colleagues are seeing variants like a bad cold.

it's confusing. if you are unvaccinated, you are vulnerable. one, get vaccinated. two, if you feel sick, isolate yourself and get tested for covid. >> should we be doing more testing to see how widely spread this delta variant is? >> that is something i think the biden administration has put billions of dollars into helping state labs. when i do a swab i send it to a lab, like lab corps or quest. they can only hang onto it for a certain number of days. by the time we can elevate or sequence it, the sample is gone. so we are no better on of that a year and a half ago to test.

however, we have more money. we just need to put it in the right place. have doctors and nurses be aware. ask people are you vaccinated. if yes, wonderful. if not, let's talk about it. >> speaking of money, we are about to invest $3.2 billion on a covid-19 antiviral drug. how big of a deal is that? >> i think it's a huge deal. i have unpacked this with some of my colleagues in the administration. they say this will be divided with several hundred million dedicated to testing and surveillance and other efforts. this isn't just one drug. it's going to be hopefully a series of potential treatments. i want to remind people that billions of dollars for

antivirals is what we need to do to prepare for a future pandemic from another virus. this is a big deal and one hopefully we will short-term gain from for our patients. >> thank you so much for your expertise. and the final fight. as the country recognizes juneteenth. how statehood for d.c. would make equality in the nation's cape toll. y in the nation's cape toll. when technology is easier to use... ♪ barriers don't stand a chance. ♪ that's why we'll stop at nothing to deliver our technology as-a-service. ♪

he is going to have to catch me because there is so much that needs to be done and so many people who simply don't know what can you done. you know? i can see on the faces of people when you tell them what happened and we are talking about it, you have to know what it is so it doesn't happen again. >> miss opal lee and so many others. that is my favorite phrase, you will have to catch me. i know that she has to be overjoyed with juneteenth finally recognized. >> as you point out. when she was fire bombed, lost their home, it was because they had moved into a white neighborhood as a black family. they were said it was okay, but it was not.

days later they lost their possessions. >> you were on "morning joe" with reaction. >> we are linked to the past. there are legacies of slavery and the aftermath of it. it's important to know about these things even though it's unpleasant for lots of people and there are efforts for people to stop talking about these things. they won't be successful. information can't be kept secret forever. >> jonathan, such an important voice, her voice and others, the historical importance of liberation day. >> you caught me trying to find my notes. i did a report with annette.

a lot of people think the past is dead, but they don't understand the past has echos and reverberate into our present and future. we need to know what our past is so we know where we're going. we also talked about opal lee and the fact she was 89 years old when she started her effort to get juneteenth a federal holiday, the newest federal holiday. when you have elders like her -- it's such a wonderful quote from her, saying that the good lord will have to catch her. people are doing the things that need to be done to make it. it doesn't matter your age. you don't have to be young or

outcoming government negotiating with the white house. the field was practically cleared of other viable candidates. we go to iran's capital. >> voting has been a lackluster affair. the polls are open for another 5.5 hours, but things aren't expected to pick up. elections in iran have never been free or fair, but there has been a sense of competition and choice. this time it feels more like a selection an election. there is not enthusiasm which is reflected at the ballot box. this the fourth election i have covered. i have never seen such voter apathy as this.

it has been a turbulent four years for the people. tough u.s. sanctions, few financial prospects, coming to the brink of war with the u.s. and a just a few of the problems people are facing. so it's no surprise that they didn't come out in huge numbers, especially given that many of the reformer candidates were disqualified, setting the stage for the hard-line judiciary chief to win. the ruling establishment has thrown their weight behind raisi. he is anti-american. tensions with the u.s. will probably spike. the tone will change. he has been accused of being involved in human rights abuses. these could all be problematic for president biden. with all that said, he, too, wants the jcpoa to work because even the most radical elements in iran realize that they can't

revive their economy with the full weight of u.s. sanctions on them. >> thanks. joining us is sir peter westicott. sir peter is joining us today. thank you. i think from turkey, a country you know so well because you were ambassador there as well as in france, other top posts. you served in iran. i want to ask about you this election and the fact that only a hard-liner candidate can possibly win the presidency. do you think that will doom iran possibly in these vienna talks agreeing to the terms and re-entering back into compliance with the iran deal so that the u.s. can rejoin? >> it's wonderful to see you again. there's been a little bit of me that said the last few

presidential elections in iran have ended up with a non-regime candidate winning because a little bit of tactical voting, plus the electorate saying, we don't want to have somebody pushed on us. we want to choose our own president. in recent years, the people have chosen somebody who wasn't the supreme leader's first choice. this time, i think you are right and your correspondents are right. it looks as though it's stitched up. we know the result, we are just waiting for the elections. it will be almost certainly raisi. the one pragmatist on the stage who was allowed to be a candidate, a senior official from the central bank, looks like he will not get very far. if we assume that's correct, there will be a low turnout about pre-fixed list offered to

the people. i think we will see a pretty hard-line president taking office who will be following pretty much the supreme leader. that looks like it's not a very flexible negotiating approach to the discussions that are continuing in vienna on the issue of whether we can put back together the nuclear deal which was struck in july of 2015 in which president trump walked away from in 2018. i think not very optimistic. it's clear, i think there's plenty of people in power in iran who think it's in their interest to keep the country under firm control, not to have it opening up with western countries, particularly with the united states of america, because guess what, then you haven't got anybody to blame for your own incompetence.

that's the instinct they are following. it doesn't sound like a good omen for getting an agreement off the ground with jpcoa, getting the nuclear deal back in business. on the other hand, if anyone is going do it, maybe it's a hard-liner. it took nixon to go to china. it could be if the regime decides it wants a deal, it's best to do it with one of their own in charge. >> you are in turkey. we want to ask you about erdogan. president erdogan and joe biden as vice president, a dicey relationship. they did talk very positively, constructively, they both said about turkey getting help from the u.s., financial help to remain in kabul after nato and the u.s. leave and trying to protect the kabul airport, which means protect the afghanistan government from the taliban. >> it was striking before president biden took power that the state influenced immediate

-- media in turkey were busy telling turks that joe biden didn't like turkey and it was difficult. that was never the case. president biden knows a lot about turkey. he believes turkey is an important country in a delicate part of the world. he has had issues with the ways in which president erdogan has ruled for the last almost 20 years. it was noteworthy that one of the last fall calls that president biden returned was from president erdogan. it was likely that this meeting was going to be seeing erdogan on his best behavior. he hasn't changed his issue on difficult issues. he was also very positive about nato. he was also positive about making a fresh start to relations with the united states. i think not bad considering.
