her over back in 2006. >> reporter: the general medical consensus is if you're fully vaccinated, go for it. even if you're just partially vaccinated, you may want to save the cruise for later this year, because its a bit risky, according to our medical experts. >> thank you both. we are approaching the top of the hour. ♪♪ it is the top of the hour, everybody. for those of you still with us, thank you. if you're just joining me, welcome. a local election getting national attention. >> i am so thrilled to announce i am running for mayor of new york city. >> that was former presidential candidate an dry yang back in

january. does he feel that way now, with just two days to go for the mayoral primary. i'm going to ask a member of congress why there's moment actual to veto that measure now, and how exactly should it be replaced. also this -- >> there are many things that are open to debate in america, but the right of all eligible citizens to vote is not one of them. >> attorney general merrick garland making it clear on the right to vote, and the senate set to vote on legislation to uphold that principle, yet states are extending their power over election. what one organization is doing to combat the assault on voting rights. also, the growing interests

over the supreme court voting on obamacar, allowing the aca to be the law of the land. why this ultimately leads back to donald trump and the curious legacy he leaves in washington, d.c. the intriguing way connecticut residents make their way into adulthood and whether it can be scaled at the national level. we are following breaking news in south-central alabama where the lives of nine kids have been taken. we are just days away of learning who could be the leader of the nation's largist city. this could lead to some surprises on primary day on

tuesday. former presidential candidate andrew yang who led the polls for months, is now in third or fourth place. he's hoping a last-minute alliance he just announced will help his chance. andrew yang is joining me now. thank you so much for joining us on this day. i appreciate it. it's probably a busy day for you. happy father's day, being it's father's day, but nonetheless you're happy you're here with us. let mess talk about some of the polling we're looking at right now, right? depending on what you're watching, you have the manhattan institute public opinion strategies poll at 13%. and then you've got the emerson college poll, newsnation, where you're around the same percentage as well. what do you make of the fact that you are in third or fourth place in some of this polling that we're looking at ahead of

the primaries. what are you going to do for your final push? >> yasmin we've had our numbers the whole time showing this is a toss-up. they also show we are winning among the votes that have been cast. the only poll that anyone should care about is the people voting in the thousands. on tuesday, hundreds of thousands of new yorkers will show up. we feel excited and confidence, particularly because everywhere i go in new york, people tell me they're voting for me, and they want a change. they know politics as usual is not working in new york city, on public safety, jobs, education, sanitation, you name it, people are fed up, frustrated. they know we need a different form of leadership than we've been getting the last few years. >> what's your focus? what's your top focus, your top issue, right now? >> unfortunately, yasmin, the

top issue on everyone's minds is crime and public safety. i was endorsed last week by the police chiefs and the week before the firefighters. happy father ace day to everyone out there, i have children in school, and my family is like many others, where you don't feel as safe as you should when you're in you're own neighborhood or riding the subways. we have to give confidence for people in new york city again. i want to show you disturbing video. we have a 5-year-old boy and his 10-year-old sister. they were caught in a crossfire. a gunman repeatedly fired over them trying to get the individual he had targeted. it happened in the bronx on

thursday, the kids, thank god were not injured. the shooting victim is in fact expected to survive. what is your reaction to this video? >> this is horrifying and unconscionable, cannot be allowed to happen on the streets of new york. as a parent, i can only imagine what they kids went there and how traumatized they were. thank goodness that they weren't harmed, but we need to get the gun violence down in new york city. the way to do that is to ramp up the resources available to the gun vile position suppress division, as well as in the individual precincts where neighborhoods are experiencing high levels of gun violence. >> i would start a unit of plain-clothed officers. i'm heading to the bronx as soon

as we are done and there is a technique called focused deterrent where two thirds of the shootings are gang related. in a lot of neighborhoods, they know who the dangerous people are. so if you go to those people ahead of time and say, look, if anything happens in this vicinity we're going to come to you first, and it has been shown to lower levels of violence. >> what does that look like? does that mean community policing? give me a real example. >> what it would look like, the gun violence suppression division is about investigatesing shootsings after they happen. right now three out of four shootings are gun uninvolved in brooklyn. you will never get shootings to go down if three out of four shooters are still walking around. the answer, unfortunately, is very, very simple. it's that a detective gets a shooting on a monday and then on thursday, saturday and they get

overwhelmed and they never solve the first shooting. we have to assigned multiple cases to each detective, and this doesn't mean redoubling the level of resources available in the gun violence suppress division. the safety unit is another group of police officers to be in the vicinity of where they know there is gang activity or areas that are going to be more prone to gun violence, so they can enter cede before the act, not after the fact. >> let's talk about police brutality here. we know obviously last summer defund the police became a major mantra, whatever you want to call it, for a lot of protesters in the streets. there was much confusion over what that actually meant. did that mean taking away all the money from police departments, completely stripping them of any resources they have, or some money away from the police budget and

redistributing it to other areas like homelessness in the city of new york. you have said repeatedly you think defunding police is the wrong way to go. explain that for me. >> in this city where you see shootings goo up over 100% from believe levels, do you not want to be defunding law enforcement. at the same time, we have under-invested in black and brown communities in terms of education, jobs, health care, youth activities. i have proposed more than doubling some of our summer youth employment opportunities here in new york city, because that money goes directly into the pockets of a family that needs it. plus kids who have a job for the summer are less likely to be idle and get into trouble. when you're seeing violence

surge, and other environments go up, you're going to need law enforcement to be proximate and on the ground. >> when i was a local new york city reporter, though, i will say every time there was a budget cut in new york city -- this was like a decade and a half ago, the first things that were shut down were youth programs in black and brown communities, in the underserved communities. that was the first thing to go. that's because so many of these communities did not have a loud enough voice. >> that's the wrong approach, i just want to say it. >> no, no, but that's what i was seeing before my very eyes like a decade ago, when they would cut the city budget, the first thing being shut down were community services for young people in black and brown communities. that's what was happening in new york city, in areas like brownsville, every day over the summer. while i hear you in that you're

talking about providing employment for young people, where is the money going to come from to make sure they can stay gainfully employed? >> as probably know, it's going to spend the money locally, and could use the boost. it also, again, has they public safety benefits. so i agree with you in a we've prioritized the wrong things. we do have a two-year windows to get this recovery right. and we have top act as quickly as we can to restore confidence, regain a sense of public safety and get our economic back on its feet so we can make the numbers work when the deficit returns 2 1/2 years from now.

>> one final question. weave talking about infrastructure, if the biden administration is ability to get their infrastructure plan passed, what could that mean for new york city? what would you do with in a money? let's start with infrastructure deficit. >> with a transition to clean energy, electric vehicles, batteries, there's so much to be done in new york city. the infrastructure bill is an enormous opportunity. i'm very optimistic that we're going to see great things out of the biden administration on this front.

p. >> you sound optimistic, andrew yang. we wish you the best of luck in the days hail. we appreciate you joining us. i hope if in fact you are elected mayor, you will come back. >> get out and vote, everybody, make your voice heard, no matter who you are supporting. >> you can tune in tonight with eric adams, who will join the show at 8:00 p.m. eastern right here. more of the breaks story where nine children and one adult were killed in a multicash pileup. children were from a youth ranch traveling in a small bus that hit another car and burst into flames. we talked to jeremy gray last hour about the horrible loss of life. >> as we understand it, these young people in the youth ranch van were coming back from gulf

>> we can disagree on all kinds of issues, but taking away the right of people to participate in american democracy is unacceptable. the congress most address that in any and every way. >> joining me is andrea haley. this will be a battle all the way to the end. it joe manchin continues to oppose the filibuster, it seems like something may not be able to be done and it would have to come from the justice department. less's talk about what your organization is currently doing to combat assault on these voting rights? >> yes, on vote.org, people came through our platform for request absentee ballots and we feel like we're the advocate, so now we are vote.org action, and make

sure that the action to the ballot box happens in our country. what is the true extent of the damage that's already been done across the country? >> unfortunately there have been 400 bills introduced, all seeking to limit people's access to the ballot box. as that happens on the heels of an upcoming midterm election it will also affect state election, local elections. as this occurs, we're really going to learn the size and scale of the damage done over the next year or two. it's a sad state of affairs, and we have to make sure voting rights are protected for every

american. >> where do you see the most opportunity? >> i think the most opportunity right now is really pushing for federal legislation. we know we need to advance the for the people act. we know it needs to pass. we need the john lewis voting rights act. those are some things we can do right now to stem the wave of voter suppression we're seeing happen through states. i'm enthusiastic that republicans, democrats, and independents have all supported both these pieces of legislation. that's important to remember and that a huge number of americans do not support voter suppression laws. so when you really think about it, the fight is hatching on capitol hill and state legislatures, but the people are clear where they -- the ballot box. they don't want to see it rolled back, or early voting, or

election officials that are removed from their positions. they don't want to see any of that. so we're talking about the will of the people and whether or not our elected officials are going to be afraid to listen to the people they're supposed to represent. >> if folks are concerned about voting rights right now, what can they do? >> go to vote. org that you want to see action on this happen, that there isn't any small procedure or small rule that should really take away from any american's ability to have access to the ballot box. let them know you support early voting, vote by mail, let them know you care about the protection of election workers across the country and encourage your senators to pass the for the people and john lewis acts.

>> thank you, andrea. we want to bring in some experts to talk more about this. welcome to the both. thank you for joining us. emily, senator schumer has said failure on voting rights is not an option, but it does seem likely that all democrats will get as a possible symbolic victory here, not necessarily to get passage of voting rights because of what mitch mcconnell has already said. >> right. so a campaign for everything, and a campaign for nothing. if you're trying to pass s-2 of the voting rights bill, the reform bill, run a campaign for the votes you don't have. like, go specifically to the senators on the votes you need,

know how you're going to move the legislation through, so you know how many senators you need, and run campaigns in those states it's the same, two senators, one senator, three senators, that democrats are trying to move. it's sinema, it's king. they're trying to move on every piece, so there's a bit of a flood of information that is pushing back on these senators. it's hard to breaking through. but at the end of the day people want to see democrats do something. they understand that democrats have control of the presidency and congress, and they want to see something happen. they don't want to see it squandered. >> so, boyd, what do you think of republicans being against manchin's compromise here? as i mentioned mitch mcconnell saying the new laws, none of

them are designed to suppress the vote. is it in the republicans' interest to literally stop whatever it is that biden wants to do? >> no, emily is absolutely 100% right in terms of focus precedes success. you have to narrow in the focus, and i think some interesting things happened in terms of voter rights and voters integrity. people want confidence in their election. i happen to live in a state we've been doing vote by mail and voting early, that happens for a year. we have great county leaders making it happen as well. obvious what happens is you create these big massive bills that make it very, very hard to get all the way through. as emily said, you end up with a very symbolic vote. i wish both sides would say, let's start with what we gra he

on. there's plenty of things that everyone agrees on, if we don't it as an omnibus style -- >> it doesn't even seem like mitch mcconnell is even willing to have that conversation when he doesn't even necessarily acknowledge there is anything wrong with what is happening in states like georgia, what is happening with the governor of texas trying to get voting restrictions through. if you don't acknowledge the problem, how do you expect to sit across the table and said let's see what we have in common. >> i think it's a sad tom tear on the leadership of the republican party right now, in terms of making that acknowledgement. there's a lot that everybody agrees on. it's not just about suppression or integrity, miswhat we're really about. i think mcconnell is missing an opportunity to say, okay, let's

start with these three things, we should come to the table on that. but full circling back to emily's points when you're just doing these massive information campaigns, it's overwhelming to the voters. we let our elected officials off the hook, because what happens is they say, well, we're just too divided to deal with voter suppression. what that does is ensures that the status quo remains, the same people stay in power. that's the heart of the issue of all of this. the next time i heard "behind closed doors" and i guarantee we will hear it a lot, that's no good for the republic and not good for voter confidence. >> i have to say, is this a moment in which joe biden needs to make a decision whether he

can go at it alone. i was talking about this with monica alba, our white house correspondent. this is a completely different government than it was five, six years ago. so is this a moment in which the biden administration, along with democratic leadership needs to goal it alone, at least with infrastructure, to get some legislation passed? >> it does feel like they're getting close, so the reason they would be able to do that, if a bill is subject to the filibuster, it's subject to 60 votes. if can you get it through the reconciliation process, then can you do it with 50, when the democrats do have a majority plus harris, but that means you need every single independent and democrat on board.

biden did campaign, and i believe the reason he ran ahead is because he campaigned on effectiveness, and getting things done. he does not -- again, he needs to show points odd board and that he's actually getting it done. i think they're getting close. he's brought in republicans every step of the way. i think republicans are missing an opportunity. they know there will be a go it alone. if any of them individually want to get a package, now is the time to be that republican to stand up there and get your issue and the infrastructure package. i actually think both sides, democrats and republicans are missing an issue that they are barely talking about, which is paid leave, which potential could be in the infrastructure package. as americans are coming back to work, either because they were laid off and now there are more jobs, or because they're coming back to the office, they're reevaluating. the economic is not what it was and the job market is not what

it was. people are not going into jobs where they feel like they have little control over. so that's something where both sides could be doing a better jobs. there were proposals. so i think that's an issue they could potentially move forward. >> thank you both. coming up, everybody, a first of its kind laws in connecticut aims to -- and the potential effects it might have on families throughout the state. we'll be right back. ies throughe state. we'll be right back. introducing ore-ida potato pay. where ore-ida golden crinkles are your crispy currency to pay for bites of this... ...with this. when kids won't eat dinner, potato pay them to. ore-ida. win at mealtime.

approximately $11,000 or so. those funds are able to be used for four things -- one, investment in higher education, investment in a home, a down payment on a home in connecticut, investment in a business or entrepreneurial pursuit in connecticut, or retirement security of some sort. all metrics that tie toward income inequality, wealth disparities in the gap. as you pointed out in your opening, the income inequality and wealth gaps have grown nationally, and connecticut is ground zero for that, and so i'm very proud to champion this and to be at the forefront of tackling generational poverty, the racial wealth gap and racial equity, as well as economic growth for our state. >> you actually say you were inspired by the baby bond

talk to me. >> the war on terror has been with me mile whoa life. one of my experiences was covering the 9/11 attacks as editor of my middle school newspaper, and then i served in afghanistan, and a millennial, as a veteran, as a member of congress, i feel a special responsibility to repeal the amus, that means reasserting congressional oversight, that future presidents can't wage wars without strategy and right-sidesing the pentagon's budget to reflect the fact we are pulling back from the middle eastern wars and reorienting to the indo-pacific.

we just passed that may get stripped out, so there's good reasons to do this under regular order if we can get rep votes, but as the president has said, not doing anything is not an option. >> i am here to talk to you about the appeal of the aumf. what do you say to critics who say this weakens the u.s. military. >> what weakens is fighting war without a strategy. we need to contain the chinese communist party. that likely will require scaling up our naval power, right-sizing or land forces, restraining special operations and marines. there's a whole new strategy that we need to wrap our heads around. once the military is given a mission, thiol execute effectively. what went wrong for the last 20 years is politician were unable to give a clear mission. thousands of lives lost, $6

actually happen. what does that mean for the future of obamacare and any challenges against it? >> well, look, i think the people who support it definitely believe this is the last challenge or at least they want people to think this is the last challenge, and it's completely over. i think there are still some avenues through the courts potentially open, but what you've seen over the course of now more than a decade is the efforts to deny -- whether through legislation or through the courts have failed. and president trump during -- former president trump, i should say, during his campaign promised he would abolish obamacare, was unable to do it. john mccain denied him the votes necessary to him. he appointed three supreme court justices that were going to do what he wanted. two of those justices, brett kavanaugh and amy coney barrett,

voting with the majority. just one other thing, yasmin. i just wanted to tell you how much i appreciated that lovely tribute you had to your father in the last segment. i know it's a difficult day for many people around america, and it was especially touching to hear from you about your relationship with your father. >> oh, thanks, jonathan. that's really nice of you. you going to try to make me cry before i end the show? i'm not going to do it. no, it's okay. i was talking to danny sa val es a couple days ago, and he actually compared obamacare to roe v. wade. a lot of challenges have been leveled against roe v. wade over its time but it's become so ingrained in our society in a way as obamacare has since president obama put it into effect. yet there have been now challenges to roe v. wade at a state level as we have seen, for instance in texas. the law has changed now when it comes to abortion rights in the

state of texas. do you foresee challenges being made to obamacare on a state level? >> we saw that going on certainly at some level with the court cases being filed by state basically. you can see that. i think that it's politically difficult to take away benefits from people. and so, you know, what you run into, whether you are a state legislator or a member of congress or a member of the supreme court is that the best question in front of you is, are you going to make it harder for people to get health insurance than it currently is? i mean it's just a political loser, and the supreme court has now said repeatedly in different ways that it's a legal loser. this particular case, the states didn't have standing according to the court. they didn't decide on the underlying merits. but if one was to take a sort of global view of what the court has done on obamacare, it's essentially to preserve it. >> and let me leave the last word for former president barack

obama, who said today the supreme court upheld the affordable care act again. this ruling reaffirms what we have long known to be true, the affordable care act is here to say. thank you as always. that wraps up the hour for me. i'll be back here next saturday at sunday at 3:00 p.m. i'm going to turn it over to my friend al sharpton and "politics nation." good evening and welcome to ""politics nation," closing out this juneteenth weekend. tonight's lead, make it count. right now we are settling. juneteenth is now federally recognized, offering america at least one more day of reflection on its past. but it comes as republican state lawmakers are suppressing even the discussion of race with
