tv   Ayman Mohyeldin Reports  MSNBC  June 24, 2021 12:00pm-1:00pm PDT

12:00 pm
everyone in his party or the republicans was onboard. >> the idea of my telling you now that i know what every senator, how they're going to vote, is just not -- i don't know that. >> the president is about to head to north carolina to encourage people to get vaccinated as vaccination rates there and elsewhere in the country keep falling. the infrastructure deal comes as house speaker nancy pelosi says that the house will appoint a select committee to investigate the january 6 riot. after the senate failed to approve a bill that would have established an independent commission on it. >> the select committee is about our democracy, of ensuring the capitol dome remains a symbol of freedom of preserving an emblem of resilience, determination, and hope. and we learned today that a new york state court suspended rudy giuliani's law license
12:01 pm
after finding he made demon straably false statements about the election while serving as an attorney to former president donald trump. and following a story where a fire is burning at the site of a partial building collapse near miami. rescuers are searching for doeses of people who are still missing. at least one person is dead. we'll have a live report from the scene in just a few minutes. we begin this hour and a very busy thursday in washington with the very latest. joining us now nbc news national political reporter on capitol hill and the white house correspondent for the pbs "newshour" and also an msnbc political analyst, was at that event with the president and had a chance to ask him a question. but first, i want to try to understand what is being described as a framework agreement. what more do we know about this? what does it look like?
12:02 pm
and do people genuinely believe it has the votes to get through the house and senate? >> reporter: it's very significant for president joe biden's top legislative priority. this contains $579 billion in new spending, most for transportation, roads and bridges, things republicans agree on as well. we know it will not be funded by any new tax increases but more irs enforcement and some repurposing of relief funds. can this get to 60 votes? the senate? it's one thing to have 10 or 20 chatting with each other. the fact they have president biden's for is significant. they need enough republican support and probably what's important now is to keep your eyes on mitch mcconnell, crucial in winning ten republican votes. one thing is moving at the same
12:03 pm
time as a human infrastructure bill in child care, eldercare, climate change. progressives have said they have not support a bipartisan deal if that doesn't happen as well. the house will not consider any bipartisan deal before the house passes a bigger human infrastructure package of president biden's priorities. both bills appear to be moving and both have a shot at passage, ayman. >> so let's talk about that for a moment. how will the president try to bring those democrats that are skittish about this onboard? he mentioned it in the press conference he had taking some of those questions including yours. generally speaking is the white house confident this will get across the finish live as sahil said, will you have to pick up five more senators and progressive democratic ones as well? >> well, this is really feeling
12:04 pm
like here at the white house that president biden has caught his white whale. in remarks over this is him saying i feel confident this will be a deal that will stick. he says i take them at their word, talking about republicans and democrats, senators who have brokered the deal, and i take them that this will happen. he has said, though, at that this cannot happen, this infrastructure deal, $573 billion in new spending, that can't happen without reconciliation and what democrats are calling human infrastructure focused on child care, climate change, electric cars, on communities, so the president here is saying, look, people told me i couldn't get this done but we are able to sit you down at a table and broker this deal. he ran on the idea of bipartisanship.
12:05 pm
people were questioning this. >> it felt like the white whale moment but there are a lot of other pending issues, very important issues, voting rights as one of them. is there any sense this is going to open up an era of bipartisanship on something like the voting rights or other important issues people in this country care about? >> well, that was my question to president biden and the question i think really is underscoring all of this. okay, you were able to get a deal on infrastructure. that's a big deal. what about the other things including what president biden has said is an existential threat to our democracy, that being voting rights. he talked for a long time about that when i questioned him. look, this is about people trying to nullify the votes of democrats and i'm going to do my best to push back but there is an unclear idea of what exactly
12:06 pm
the president can do and what he will do to try to stop these gop-backed laws from going through all of these state legislatures. it is, of course, a very big deal. it's something the president says he's going to be trying to focus on. i've talked to sources who say the doj is going to get more active in criticizing and getting into these state issues, and there's also going to be that first line of defense that some activists say judges, nominating judges, more and more of them, president biden said. he was animated when he answered my question on voting. you can tell he is passionate about that. really it's a big unclear question about what will come of it. >> sahil, let's pivot to the other beg announcement coming out of capitol hill, the select committee to investigate the january 6 riot. how confident are democrats in that undertaking something like this will not be seen as a partisan endeavor just like the republican-led committee to investigate the attacks on the u.s. consulate in benghazi in 2012 dragged on for months and years and produced nothing of
12:07 pm
great substance? >> reporter: ayman, that has been a concern of democrats which is why the select committee was not their preferred course of action. they want that had bipartisan 9/11-style commission to investigate that january 6th attack on the capitol. they want that had to have the support of democrats and republicans. a universally accepted document people could point to and say here is what really happened as an effort to debunk the lies and conspiracy theories about what happened that day including some emanating from the former president. but the democrats having seen them filibuster the commission had a choice to make, do they investigate it themselves, do a partisan investigation, or do they fold and do nothing? and speaker pelosi's point with reporters democrats will not sit by and do nothing. she said the semple of american democracy, the building i'm standing in, was attacked by insurrectionists and they feel they have an obligation to try to get to the truth. you are right, republicans will attack this as a republican investigation and large portions
12:08 pm
of their base are probably not going to trust anything that comes out of this. >> two of the more noteworthy moments of that news conference when the president stepped away from the microphone as he was being asked about afghanistan, and the vice president's trip tomorrow to the u.s./mexico border. it was unclear to hear the president's response, but does the white house think this trip will help with the intense criticism over the administration's handling of a recent spike in migrants coming to the border? what is their explanation for the timing of this? >> i can tell you the president he wanted to defend vice president harris today. he was about to leave the room and there was a question posed why is the vice president going to the border now? what's it really going to do? he stopped and said she's doing a great job at the border. what you feel when you talk to white house officials and what they say this is about vice president harris saying, yes, i'm going to go there, look at these migrants, i'm going to understand what these problems
12:09 pm
are but still her focus is on the root causes. there is this political calculus when you talk to activists and critics, frankly, of vice president harris, be who said she needed to go to the border. there were questions over and over again why aren't you at the border if you are dealing with migration and the root causes, how can you not see the problem firsthand? there is this idea when she's coming to the border but they insisted she wait for the appropriate time and that is now. >> yamiche alcindor and sahil kapur, thank you. a democrat from california and a member of the transportation and infrastructure committee, thank you for your time. a very important day for people like yourself who are heavily invested. you were one of the first members of the house the president asked to meet on this subject on infrastructure. knowing what you know from this
12:10 pm
framework agreement, i don't want to use the word bill yet, will you support it? >> absolutely this is very close what we talked about at the white house two and a half months ago and very close to what we put out of our committee, the transportation committee a couple weeks back. each of the various elements in infrastructure, not included the education research piece of it, each one of those was added up and came to just under $600 billion of new money. this is an important piece of what we need to do to move this nation forward. we'll add a few things along the way. we want this to come out of the senate. we'll do everything we can to support this. yes, there are folks in our caucus who want to have the rest of the infrastructure going along. keep in mind the senate actually passed a major piece of the soft
12:11 pm
infrastructure just two weeks ago when they pass add bill that was designed to compete with china. half of the 200 plus billion dollars in the bill was education and research. the rest had to do with pumping up the american technology side of it. we are on the way. yamiche talked about a white whale. there are several white whales out there. yes, one of those whales has been harpooned and it's being brought onto the boat. there are others out there. will we get to those? yes, we will. yes, we can. the new president, president biden, said he would do this. he said he would crush the virus. that was the rescue plan. he would support businesses. he would support family, put money in pockets, give the businesses the opportunity to
12:12 pm
survive, to exist in the days ahead. yes, we need to vaccinate more people but that was the first thing the president did. not one republican helped us. not one in the senate or the house. we got that done through reconciliation. we will move forward with concrete, steel, broad band, all the rest. the soft infrastructure, if we have to do that with another reconciliation, we will. we'll get this done. >> so let's talk about the support and the bipartisan support because it involves ten senators from both parties. if you want it to pass you will need another handful of republican senators and progressive democrats. the president says he doesn't know how every lawmaker will vote. what is the early sense you're getting from your democratic caucus today, particularly the progressive wing of the party you are alluding to?
12:13 pm
>> the democrats in congress -- the democrats across this nation know and understand we have a variety of things we need to do. i mentioned the rescue bill. we did that. that has made all the difference in getting this economy open again. we're moving on to the solid infrastructure, the foundation for economic growth in the future coupled with that is the workforce necessary to support the economy and that's your education, your child care, the benefits through the pandemic but have an opportunity in the future to get the education, the jobs training they must have to work in a modern economy and be competitive to re-establish america as the number one nation in the world. and don't forget that to be the number one nation in the world we have to be the strongest democracy and that brings us back to the voting rights issue
12:14 pm
this is our package of issues. we will not let this go. we will do everything necessary. we will make the compromises that move this thing towards the solution necessaries for this nation. you saw the senate making those compromises. good. the soft infrastructure, if the republicans don't want voters to be able to vote, they will be forever branded as the jim crow party. if they don't want to educate our kids and vote for research, then they will be branded. they will be branded as the party that did not want america to be the competitive nation in this world. >> there are reports senator blumenthal called this pathetic. do you have a response to that? >> well, maybe it is in his area, but in california the biggest, most dynamic state in
12:15 pm
this nation this is foundational to our environmental future. there is the foundation here, the foundation of moving to the electric vehicle, which we have to do. there's also the infrastructure for that, the electrification of our transit system. it is the ability for this nation to set up a modern transportation system whether it is a freeway, a highway, a bridge, bus or train. amtrak critically important. west coast in california we depend on that with the capital corridor from sacramento all the way to san jose. and in our legislation and will probably be in the final
12:16 pm
legislation the movement of goods and services by truck, train, boat across the ocean through our harbors are the pieces of the puzzle embedded in this compromise that the white house has put together. so a big shoutout to the president. he said he would do this. it is on its way to being done. and moments ago the new york bar association removed rudy giuliani from its membership following giuliani's suspension earlier today from practicing law in new york by the state supreme court appellate division. in a scathing 33-page order the judge writes that giuliani's false statements were made to improperly bolster his narrative that due to widespread voter fraud victory in the 2020 united states presidential election was stolen from his client. he spoke outside his manhattan office following the ruling. >> how can they say i lied if i
12:17 pm
never had a hearing? tell me what they're basing it on. they haven't questioned me, haven't questioned a witness. >> do you still believe the election was a fraud? >> what i'm telling you is let's get beyond that. if you want to say something, you have to give me a chance to defend myself. >> professor of law melissa murray, a former law clerk to judge sonia sotomayor and is an msnbc contributor. it's great to have you on. let me get your reaction to what we heard from giuliani claiming this is one-sided, he has not had a chance to defend himself or even discuss what was happening in that courtroom and in terms of suspension. explain what happens and will giuliani get a chance to defend himself in court the way he wants? >> he is exactly right. he hasn't had a chance to rebut these allegations in court because this is, again, an interim suspension. he will have an opportunity because disciplinary proceedings will commence immediately following this particular ruling.
12:18 pm
that said, the fact that the appellate division has chosen to temporarily suspend his license is an unusual step underscoring the gravity and the idea mr. giuliani through these fraud lend, allegedly, statements, imperilled the system of democracy we know in the united states and the electoral process. he will have an opportunity to go to court, but the fact they've temporarily suspended his license does not bode well for him as that disciplinary proceeding commences. >> how often do they suspend a license from a practicing lawyer? help us understand the weight of the decision in weight of its significance? >> certainly the step of temporarily suspending his license is an fush one but, again, i think it underscores the nature of the charges.
12:19 pm
if he goes forward and they prove he violated the lawyer's code here in the state of new york he would be disbarred. it doesn't happen often but does happen. it's a means of professional sanctioning for those who failed to uphold the ethical commitments of the profession. >> thank you for breaking that down for us. and we continue to follow breaking news in florida this hour. that partial building collapse that's left at least one person dead. we're live on the ground with an update on the search and rescue efforts. plus, it is being called a revolutionary retraining. one police department will be chained to think of policing as, quote, customer service. we have the rollout and pushback from the officers. you're watching "ayman mohyeldin reports." reports. ♪ ♪ when technology is easier to use...

12:23 pm
turning now to that breaking news out of southern florida. a massive search and rescue mission still happening as 99 people are unaccounted for after a high-rise condo partially collapsed in the middle of the night. hundreds of first responders immediately rushed to the scene going from balcony to balcony to rescue people trapped. so far at least one person has died. ten others injured. officials say 35 people have been pulled from the building at this time. we have new footage that shows the very moment the collapse
12:24 pm
occurred. the video is disturbing. you see where that portion of the building just erupts in a cloud of concrete dust. joining me now with the latest is vaughn hillyard live on the scene for us. just earlier today we learn 51 people were unaccounted for. that number has now jumped up to 99. explain that number to us and how officials got to it. >> reporter: yeah, it's a tough number to grapple with. 99 unaccounted for. the hope is the real number is lower than that because officials are telling us that is the number of individuals they've identify who had could have been inside of those units. there are snowbirds that come down here in this part of florida in the wintertime. the hope is some of those units snowbirds occupy, for instance, were unoccupied. that is where they're getting to
12:25 pm
the 99 number. at the same time they're trying to reach out to those individuals to establish contact to bring the number down. on the flip side we are dealing with the reality there are a great number of people missing not just here, americans, but six individuals, citizens of paraguay are currently missing, unaccounted for, including members of the first lady of paraguay's family. i got off the phone a few minutes ago with family members of the bart gomez family. three individuals here in town from columbia. i believe you're looking at images of them. these three individuals among those 99 unaccounted for here at this time. a family member telling me they had been here just a couple weeks. they were living at this tower while the daughter was here for
12:26 pm
tennis camp. this is what so many at the reunification center just a mile down the road from where we're standing right now are grappling with. we know that folks are looking and perhaps watching from around the country and the world waiting. there's been smoke that has been burning -- or a fire, i should say, from the rubble here. i believe we have some video that shows the amount of smoke coming up here essentially halting the search effort. individuals have been able to survive for hours and days if they're able to be inside an area where there's a pocket of oxygen. you've seen the tough images that we are coming to terms with ourselves here because we have been pushed back here because gas has been shut off, water and
12:27 pm
electrical have been shut off because that northeast tower that still stands has been determined to be structurally deficient here and there are serious concerns about the surrounding perimeter because we still do not know what it was that took down this tower here early this morning. ayman? >> our thoughts and prayers are with all the family members still looking for those loved ones and those who have survived. thank you for that reporting. joining me now is a miami-based architect with decades of experience and retired lieutenant general who served as the commander of the joint task force that coordinated relief efforts after hurricane katrina. what more can you tell us about what you know about the architecture either of this building or in the area and what you see from your area of expertise that could be one of
12:28 pm
the root causes of this incident. >> this building is a rather young building, built in the same concrete structure that we build buildings up and down the coast here. it is a concrete structure with columns on concrete slabs and this is the standard mean and method of structural design and construction that we have here in florida. this is a very young building. it's a building that has similar means of construction we have used since the 1920s so this is a very unique accident and a very unique event that we have experienced. >> when you look at a building like this and given what you know about its foundation and how it was built do you have any insight into what may have led
12:29 pm
to a collapse based on images you're able to see? >> looking at the video you can see the failure happened at the inside core of the building meaning where the horizontal concrete slabs meet the vertical concrete columns structure which led to the collapse of the slaps one on top of another, and you can see leaving the facade facing the ocean, facing east, left standing and then falling back onto the west. that shows, to me, the failure occurred inside the building, which is very unique. >> general, let's tap into your expertise. this is a massive operation including securing the area but perhaps more importantly trying to find survivors inside. how long do you think given your
12:30 pm
experience in these emergency scenarios can someone survive? how long should the search and rescue operation remain search and rescue? >> first of all we have one of the best teams in the world assisting. that's florida task force one. urban search and rescue, one of the best teams in the world at doing urban search and rescue which is this task, working with the local city and county officials, they are the best. they would make that suggestion to the political leadership through the incident command coordina coordinator. this could go on for days. we could still be rescuing people in days to come. so they have the technology. they have the experience.
12:31 pm
and they evolve in techniques e best team and now pray and have good luck that they continue to get some people out alive because this incident in this building i can assure you it's some type of architectural or building failure that caused this to happen. when you build on a wetteland, the state and city has standards for inspections. something went wrong that will be determined later. right now our prayers go to the survivors and the first responders trying to save lives. this is not an act of god. this has got to be dealt with, in a destination city like miami, are the rest of the buildings safe?
12:32 pm
people come there to relax. >> there's going to be a moment for accountability down the road. one of the moments that stood out to me in president biden's news conference saying he is waiting to get word from the governor of florida to deploy what i understood to be fema resources there. can you walk us through when the federal government can get involved in something like this? should this have already happened? >> through mutual agreement right now the task forces can get to moving without any request through the federal government. they're paid for by fema. if it was a long deployment, they had to go across country, then fema would make the arrangements to move them. but they work in teams of mutual support.
12:33 pm
what the president was talking about what would normally happen is the governor would request for additional search and rescue. but this one building, not a whole block, not a whole city, i think this team can handle this. >> thank you for your expertise and insight and expertise. still ahead, we'll take you to one police department teaching their officers to think of the people they protect as customers. this bold new training and the reaction from the community. you're watching "ayman mohyeldin reports." watching "ayman mohyen reports.

with violent on the crime president biden unveiled new steps to reverse the trend with a focus on preventing gun violence. the president's announcement comes as police departments around the country are adopting new policies to improve relations with the public. nbc news was granted exclusive access to charlotte, north carolina's police department where they're adopting a customer service approach. joining me is correspondent shaquille brewster. what more can you tell us about this new undertaking and the reaction from the community to it so far? >> reporter: the chief spent about two hours rolling this out to members of his department calling this revolutionary retraining and one that will touch every member of this
12:38 pm
department. we were there as you mentioned exclusively as some of the people responsible for training their peers were trained themselves and it is sparking some tough internal conversations. it's a highly anticipated and somewhat controversial training rollout. one that's sparking internal conversations about police culture and their interactions with the public. >> there's a perception among the community we're only there to kill them and to beat them. we have to take that incumbent upon us as an agency to change that message. >> reporter: nbc news was granted exclusive access inside the charlotte mecklenburg police training academy. >> for the most part as an organization we've never been a good job treating the same people. >> reporter: they walked through the course themselves. >> the customers we're serving -- >> reporter: the class takes cues from companies like ritz-carlton and starbucks
12:39 pm
prompting officers to treat people less as suspects and victims and more like customers. an idea the police chief thought of in the months after george floyd's murder while reflecting on the service he receives at chick-fil-a. >> you feel you've been valued as a customer. my concept, why can't we provide that from a law enforcement perspective? >> reporter: we were there as he sold it to the top brass. the public isn't publicly releasing the training curriculum but says it applies to the 97% of interactions that don't involve a use of force. but it's the national focus on the more high-profile 3% of interaction it is sometimes deadly that led to calls for reform. the city's fraternal order of police isn't sold. >> when it comes to policing, sometimes the customer is not always right. if you're breaking it the law, you're breaking the law. >> reporter: walter served seven

12:55 pm
you can see the medical tents where they've been doing vaccinations on site. he will thank the staff and encourage people to get vaccinated. only about 55% of adults have gotten their first dose. and that number was true more than a week ago. it shows you how the rates have really slowed to a crawl. they're hoping this can help to boost them but they're not optimistic they will get closer to that 70% goal. they likely won't do that for adults until the month of november, ayman. the president will come here and he will again say overall there are other markers and things we've all experienced that show the pandemic is further and further in their rear-view mirror and talking about that and the positives, specifically talking about our independence from the virus planned for the fourth of july. the reality is there are still a lot of concerns about the delta variant and a place like this and elsewhere in the south
