paying jobs. >> in washington, both parties in the house are gearing up for a vote on a select committee to investigate the january 6th insurrection at the capitol. nancy pelosi is going to appoint a member. it is possible that commission vote will proceed without any gop support. meanwhile, in florida, shocking new foed yoez from the miami haurld show damage in the condo buildings garage just two days before the collapse. later this hour, we're going to bring you an update on the manhattan district attorney's case against the trump organization. but we begin this hour in washington, d.c., where that planneded committee to investigate the january 6th insurrection is drawing fire from the gop who are accusing democrats to attempt to conduct a partisan investigation. joining me now is pbs news hour correspondent.

also with us, our national political reporter. do you have any indication that some republicans, perhaps someone like liz cheney or adam kinsinger who voted to impeach president trump would vote in favor of establishing this committee? does it send a strong message if they vote against it? >> ayman, we don't have an answer to that question. both liz cheney and adam kinsinger have kept the door open to voting for this committee. they kept the door open to serving on that committee if speaker pelosi uses one of her appointments to name one of them. now the speaker's aide has told nbc news that she is serious will you considering appointing a republican to one of the eight positions that she would have direct access over. that doesn't mean either of those two republicans are going to vote yes. it doesn't mean they're going to no. they're still undecided. they will be the tip of the spear.

this, of course, comes after they filibuster the bill. this will will have more of a pull on democrats. eight democrats and five apountes in consultation with the republican leader mccarthy. >> what have we heard and certainly you heard from your reporting and sources at the white house, what you have heard from your sources about where the white house comes down on this january 6th committee? they spoke forcibly against what happened on that day. but at the same time, they have not supported a presidential commission to investigate january 6th. they want congress to do this. that's right. when you push white house officials, they say that is it congress' business. the was a senator for a long time and now he's the president. that being said, the white house understands that this polarization and this violence that happened on january 6th, that is something that the

american people need to and deserve to know more about. there are so many questions about what happened that day. almost every single day we're getting new video and statements about what happened that day. new images of police officers being beaten. what you see is this untenable situation where the congress needs to in some ways have some sort of answers for the american people. of course, republicans that i talk to say that's rehashing history. they do not want to go back to january 6th. they think that is an election issue with the mid terms coming up. democrats sense this is something that should be investigated and that's why you see, of course, this movement on capitol hill. the white house is careful in what they say. >> nearly 500 cases -- 500 arrests and we still don't have a clear picture as to how all this happened. i know president biden touted his infrastructure deal in wisconsin as a win for blue collar workers.

does he feel confident the deal will go through despite the setbacks with the language he used last week that made some republicans hesitant? >> it is clear this bipartisan deal is definitely on shifty ground. it is fragile. this is a delicate dance that the white house and democrats are trying to do by really pursuing the two track system. that said, when i talk to the white house officials, they sound pretty confident that this will go forward. the thing that is, i think, important here is also that while, of course, the president saying he wouldn't sign in some ways he said implying that he would issue a veto for the second bill. there is a sense in the white house that the president and democrats have always said all along there was going to be a two-track system. republicans angry he said that outright, we're also not surprised by the idea that democrats were going down this line of having a huge bill that was going to be filled with democratic priorities and then a slimmer, narrow bill that was a bipartisan bill.

>> let's put infrastructure on the side for a moment. the other big thing that people are hoping would get done was police reform. you spoke early we are congresswoman karen bass who said that in fighting in law enforcement groups is threatening police reform negotiations on capitol hill. walk us through what is going on here. does this mean this is the end of meaningful police reform, at least bipartisan meaningful police reform? >> ayman, that remains to be seen. i did speak to karen bass who is the lead democratic negotiator on police reform. she sounded disappointed in the state of negotiations. of she did say there is in fighting within the law enforcement communities, specifically police unions and sheriffs as to what to do about certain key provisions as it relates to criminal liability for officers. you know, when they engage in misconduct. some republicans say they want the police groups onboard in

order to support this. karen bass said it would be a sad statement if they reject reform. but she has insisted she is not giving up. she's been working on this for more than four decades. time is running short. and this prospect of this negotiation reaching eight favorable conclusion seems very, very much on thin ice right now. >> all right. thank you for start is us off this hour. joining me now is south carolina democratic congressman jim clay burn. he is house majority whip. thank you so much for your time. we have a lot of ground to cover here. i do want to start with your response to your republican colleagues, perhaps, who are criticizing this committee, this january 6th committee as a partisan exercise. who you support the appointment

of luz chauny to the committee using one of the speakers unilateral picks? >> thank you very much for having me. yes you would. i think both of them are republicans. i think both of them are conservative republicans. and both of them are real. about what happened on january 6th. so i think that the speaker would do well. to demonstrate bipartisanship by appointing one of them to the committee. and i would hope that my republican friends will support the speaker in that and will appoint the folks that they can appoint as well. this is a very serious issue. this is a strong democracy but it's fragile. we saw that on january 6th.

we have to be aware of that and we need to have bipartisan participation in doing what is necessary to shore up this democracy so that we can continue our pursuit of a more perfect union. it's not perfect. we know that. but we can work together to make it more perfect. i know you advocated for bennie thompson to chair this committee. make the case for us. why do you think thompson would serve well in that role? >> thompson has a background that is very good for this. he was a small town mayor. he was a county kmugser. he knows what it is. to work with law enforcement people. he as chair of the homeland security committee. he has demonstrated that he can find bipartisanship on the

committee. he and the congressman did a great job, i thought, pulling together a piece of legislation that we passed in the house with a lot of republican support. i think there were 25 republican voters for it. so when you demonstrate and have background and experience that support it, that's why i think he'll be a good candidate. it is up to the speaker who i'll support whoever they appoints. >> let's move on to police reform. you heard my colleague talking about his interview with karen bass. it seems like talks are breaking down between infighting between law enforcement groups, specifically police unions and sheriff's associations. the what do you know about the status of the talks? do you think there is any path to getting both of these groups onboard? and where do you see a

possibility for compromise if there is one? >> i think there is. i have been talking with congresswoman bass. i have talked with senator tim scott. i talked to sheriffs. and i know that there is a strong sentiment in the senate and in the house. we need to say to these communities that law enforcement is there to enforce the law. not to be punitive. and that's what a lot of communities feel. and i think finding a real good compromise on this legislation

will speak very loudly to the fact. we ought to do that. st it is not going to be all that you want. and it will not and should not be all that they want. but they should be something that we can all agree upon and so that we can keep moving this forward. the. >> i know the house is set today, sir, to vote on a bill to remove confederate statues from public display in the capitol. that was a bill actually passed in the previous congress. as you are well aware, it stalled in the republican-controlled senate at the time. why is this bill so important especially after what happened on january 6th? do you think it has a better shot this time around in the senate? >> well, i would hope so. you know, when i see emblems from the confederacy, i you this, you know, that is not the

confederate flag. it never was the confederate flag. that is a battle flag. so much of our history is misrepresented. that flag that you're showing now was awful to the confederacy and they refuse to accept the daughters of the confederacy will never accept that flag as being their flag. the stars and bars is a totally different flag. en with we oppose this battle flag. we do oppose people who fought to preserve slavery. he died more than a decade before the civil war ever broke out. it doesn't -- this statute is not here because of the confederacy. the statute is here because he was the biggest spokesperson in this country in support of

slavery. and i think the current residents, current citizens of south carolina, i don't think they want slavery. they don't want to honor slavery. that's what is taking place. i would love to see the state of south carolina take the statues of here. if they don't. i want to see them put the statue so far in the basement until they're not able to gather dust. >> all right, jim clyburn, thank you for your time. >> thank you. and still ahead, lawyers for the trump organization make a final effort to persuade prosecutors not to bring criminal charges against the company. we're going to talk about what's next in that investigation. plus, president biden plans to visit the site of that deadly collapse in florida as rescuers frantically look for survivors. up next, we're going to talk to an official miami-dade police chaplin that has been with the families since last week. you're watching "ayman mohyeldin reports." t week you're watching ym"aan mohyeldin reports. let me help you.

search and rescue efforts are still underway in miami. the death toll currently standing at 11. 150 people remain unaccounted for. "miami herald" reports that a pool contractor who was visiting the building was so concerned about the condition that he took these photographs of what he saw noting the cracks in the concrete and the excessive standing watter in the parking garage.

he shared his photos with the newspaper asking not to be named and we should note nbc news has not spoke hum directly. we don't know what is depicted in the photo is connected to the collapse. joining me now is ron allen. ron, good to talk you to. what more can you tell us about the investigation into this collapse and the reports of red flags raised about conditions of the building prior to the collapse? >> you're right. there are red flags that go as far back as 2018 signalling there may have been a problem with the building, structural damage, water untrugs. in hindsight, all this looks very suspicious. we -- remember that the condo association had authorized repairs to the building that were going to cause $16 million and there was work on the roof when this happened.

now whether any of these caused the collapse, we don't know. and officials don't know. and it's going take months to figure that out. but there are lawyers working on this. there are calls for grand jury to investigate this. there is a feeling that all this that is a paper trail during the last number of days, it appears this may have been preventable. again, looking at all this in hindsight. the rescue effort goes on unabated. officials, when you ask them about the other things, they say they're focused on still trying to find survivors and save lives. a former nfl football player who came down here from hillsborough county, adam hayward. he gave us a real good indication of what it's like to be on the pile, trying to keep going even though it's been since thursday since any of the rescuers have been able to help anyone who survived this.

here's what he said about what it's like on the pile. >> when you see that lull area, you don't want to stop. you keep working and working. >> this is really hard, meticulous work. >> it is. >> it's dangerous. >> it's very dangerous. like i said yesterday, i was over there and tied off with a rope in a harness with a huge jack hammer and, you know, ring saw cutting 6,000 pound slab off just to get off to get to the next space underneath where there is potentially the void. so that we can get in there. so, yes, it is dangerous. at the same time, it's like this is what we train for and this is what we do. >> just incredible amount of work that is going on. we should also point out that today there is an inspection going on of the companion towers of the one that collapsed here. and there is an audit going on of buildings 40 years old or so around miami-dade county and in

the neighboring communities because there is a feeling that the inspection should be much more rigorous. and that's going on looking for potential problems before they start. before they happen. again, this is just untense operation that is going on 24 hours a day with a lot of hope. ayman? >> ron allen, thank you. a lot of important questions on the investigation. joining me now is rabbi, director of the habad center of kendall in miami-dade police chaplin. rabbi, thank you for your time. i know you have been with the families down in surf side since the building collapsed last week. just tell us if you can sir what you're hearing from the families and how they're dealing with moment of uncertainty? >> i was called 5:00 in the morning, thursday morning. and as soon as they started calling all the chaplins to come to the scene. when i came to the scene, i couldn't believe my eyes, what i'm us withing.

right then and there, i was with a few family members. of people in the building. they were in shock. some were telling me that my child, my husband, my parents, they were not supposed to be in this building. it was anger and then a lot of questions like why like the first day like why are they getting out? why are they bringing them out already? so there was a lot of disappointment. but then they were not sure if this was the right decision. they said we need to bring the families there. and you was there with the families when they came to the building. and can you see from the first moment when they came there, there was crying, screaming for some people, praying, and as the hour went by, you could see certain calm necessary. they saw that no one is really ug norg that building. the men and women, the police

and fire which are almost a chap lun and work with them, they're working day in and day out every moment to do everything they can to save the family members. the other thing it gave them is we spoke to the family members, they're looking at the porch and overlooking the water. so gave them a chance to be close to their family members once again and pray and sing and talk. so it was -- i feel from that moment when i'm not saying for all of them, but for a lot of them, they understood it very differently and they felt very, very different. of course it's still very difficult for them. but it gave them a completely different perspective. >> rabbi, can you talk to us a little bit about what you're telling people who might be reaching out to you for comfort? reaching out to you asking what they can do to help and how they can bring relief to some of the families and the community pulling together?

unfortunately the tragedy so great that at this moment we as chaplins and people, you just have to be there for them. there is nothing you can really say that's going to bring comfort. whatever they want to do, listen to them, cry with them. i had this very moving experience yesterday. i was walking down the street with another police officer. there's a picture of him and his son. he tells us, thank you very much. for giving me back this gift and giving my son back that i can bury my son. i'll never be able to bury my son. and the police officer started crying and he started crying. this is something you have to understand what people are facing right now. of course, people want to have

loved ones alive. but also the biggest concern now is will we be able to bury our loved one. >> our thoughts and prayers are with you and your community and everyone affect fwhid tragedy, thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> and new developments overseas, in major conflict that a lot of americans may have never heard about. we're going to bring you awe report from the region next. you're watching "ayman mohyeldin reports." you're watching "ayman mohyeldin reports.

we turn now to major developmentes in a conflict that may not be on your radar. it is one you need to know b the ethiopian government is declaring a cease-fire in a month's long conflict in the disputed tigre region. the violence led to the world's worst familiar nun a decade. nearly 400,000 people are without access to food. now the famine is not due to a lack of supplies. but a blockade set up you about the ethiopian and neighboring governments and forces. all of this despite pleas from humanitarian organizations. st now the cease-fire comes days after rebels retook the regional capital, sending government troops and officials fleeing. sky news reporter is in the ethiopian capital. he joins us now.

john, what is the post cease-fire atmosphere like? >> ayman, this is a dramatic turn and surprising turn in what is a nasty and vicious conflict. he is loyal to the tplf. they overtook the capital after a week of fierce fighting. ethiopian soldiers, federal police, interim government officials they have fled the city. and i think this will be seen as a setback for ethiopia's prime minister. also potentially embarrassing as well. last year he said this conflict was essentially over. he said it was done except for a few mopping up operations that

needed to be conducting. clearly, this is not the case. we have heard from the tplf today as well. they released a statement. it doesn't mention the cease-fire at all. it reads like they need to go on with this conflict. tigray will indeed become a graveyard of the forces. they are the partner in the neighboring country. a key question is how this conflict affects citizens on the ground. they have had a horrific time. thousands of people have been killed. two million people have been displaced. the u.n. says that hundreds of thousands of people are at risk of starvation there. these people in tigray, they need help. i don't know how this change in

this conflict is going to help them. but they certainly need it. they certainly need more support. ayman? >> thank you to sky news john sparks reporting for us. thank you. we're still in wait and see mode on the trump organization could face possible charges in new york. we're going to get an update from the reporters following all of the developments next. you're watching "ayman mohyeldin reports." you're watching "ayman mohyeldin reports. ♪ ♪ 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. ♪

senior fbi official chuck rosenburg. let's gun with you. the trump organization, they're waiting potential charges that could come at virtually any moment. give us a sense based on your reporting what we can expect as we wait for the next phase of this investigation. >> they would indicate that there is likely movement to happen later this week in new york. and this investigation is a long time running. both into his attorney and the cfo of the trump organization as well as the company itself. we don't have any specificity yet on exactly what sort of charges are going to be brought or whether for sure that they will be brought. but all of our sources indicate that things are going ahead in this probe and we should expect things later this week. the trump organization lawyer also said that to our colleagues. the so we're on high alert to be watching for potential developments. >> interesting. chuck, i'm sure you probably

saw. this paul butler, another former u.s. attorney told me yesterday on this program that charges to the trump organization could signal the beginning of the end of trump's business dealings. do you agree with that? >> that might be right. there are the collateral consequences of charging a company or an organization as federal prosecutors were taught to think about that, to weigh that. our preference is always to charge individuals if we can. but sometimes companies are rife with fraud. but for a company, particularly a large publicly traded corporation, not the trump organization, but a large publicly traded company, you have shareholders, you have unvestors, you have creditors, you have employees, you have retirees, you have people in the supply chain. if you were to charge a high will you regulated corporation, they could lose licenses to do

us work. we understand from news reporting that they're highly leveraged. lots of banks hold their debt. and so banks could call in those loans and charging the company could result in a bankruptcy. and again, we have to be mindful that i don't know that will happen. paul may well be right about it. but it is something prosecutors must weigh, must consider before charging a company or organization. >> josh, you've been covering donald trump and his circles for a long time now. and despite investigations and, you know, a slew of lawsuits that go back, the former president emerged relatively unscathed in a legal sense on the personal level. but does this feel different to you based on what you're reporting and seeing this time

around? >> our indications are there are not any charges against a former president himself. and, you know, his allies are downplaying some of the case they believe is going to be brought based on their negotiations with, you know, the da's office and the other authorities in new york. so they -- it really depends on what the substance of the charges are here. you know, if it there is for some reason, we don't know this to be true, they show systematic corporate fraud and they have evidence of that. then that is one thing. if there are investigations into benefits for employees that, is entourly different. i think we'll be reading the, you know, charges if charges emerge the next couple days very closely before there is any fallout. you make a good point. the former president is investigated by, you know, a number of authorities from the

team, two impeachment hearings. lots of different inquiries into him and he has emerged somewhat unscathed from a lot of those. others, depending on how serious the charges are. >> chuck, to that point about the president and his inner workings, do you see any potential for last-minute flip here in the trump organization? because by some of the accounts suggest he is not cooperating and will not flip and work with the prosecution in this. >> great question, ayman. look, lots of people just cooperate. they don't have to be flipped. they tell the truth.

i don't know if he has evidence against the president. i presume he knows a lot about the operation of the trump organization which makes him a important witness. remember, the word witness cuts in both directions. he can be truthful and help the president. the he could be truthful and incriminate the president. what you want is the truth and let the chips fall where they may. i don't know where they're going to fall. i don't know that he has information that incriminates the president. to your question, ayman, if he has information that incriminates the president and reluctant to share it, there are ways to persuade reluctant witnesses. you can put them in the grand jury and compel their testimony.

they can work off the tomb they mighting facing in prison. so we don't know yet. i you this josh made a real you important point. let's see the indictment. let's see how much they lay out. you about the way, the indictment may not be the whole story. if there is a trial, the entire story comes out at trial, not in the indictment necessarily. and so whether he helps or hurts the president, he could prauts he could operates or refuses to cooperate, time will tell. there is ways to get information from a witness. >> thank you very much for breaking it down for us. thank you for the reporting. gentlemen, appreciate it. millions of americans are under some kind of heat after today and certainly it is -- heat alert that we should be mindful of. the record breaking heat wave that scorched the west this week is blanketing the east coast. we're live with the safety warnings about that next. but first, an update on that deadly building collapse in

outside. somehow not as hot as it is in the pacific northwest where temperatures are sky racketing to levels never seen before. and they're staying there. portland, seattle, other cities have designated cooling stations set up to give people a reprieve from the extreme heat. portland hit a record setting 116 degrees this week. that is the high temperature forcing public transportation to be shut down when power cables melted. joining me from portland, gwad, how you are personally holding up? i know you've been out there doing live shots. i hope you're able to cool off. talk to us about how the city is doing and how everyone else is managing this. >> you describe the conditions well. let me congratulate my crew, producers, everyone that has been working here. it's been three dawes of scorching heat and temperatures like you mentioned well above 110 degrees. so it has been difficult. but i will say that today it has cooled down a bit. we won't break the 100-degree

mark which is great for everyone to get a break. will we'll stay in the 90s. but you know, this region of the country, we keep repeating, just isn't prepared for this type of heat. the infrastructure doesn't exist. people just are not used to the temperatures. so the to these temperatures. so the people in portland were just trying to eape any way they could. a lot of people don't have ac in their homes and a lot of businesses don't have ac. those that have air conditioning tried using the air conditioning and there was a lot of issues. i can tell you that the hotel we were staying at the second day had issues so we had to switch hotels. you also had a large homeless population, thousands of people living in the streets in portland that had to go to these cooling centers. families would go to museums, shopping malls, stores that did have air conditioning. basically anywhere you could escape the heat, some people left the city and went to bodies of water, went to the beach but it was just a tough three days of consecutive record-breaking temperatures. you mentioned 116 here.

it was 117 in salem in southern oregon, so it was a tough three days for the region. but fortunately the temperatures are now in the high 90s, which is a break for everyone here. >> all right, guad, stay cool. my best to the crew as well. i appreciate it. another consequ this heat wave, infrastructure is quite literally melting throughout the country making for dangerous circumstances an it's all during an ongoing debate over an infrastructure bill in congress. while president biden and a group of senators reached terms for a trillion dollar bipartisan infrastructure deal leaders in the house say they won't vote unless terms for reconciliation are also okayed. here's what congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez had to say on "moving forward" yesterday. >> this isn't about the senate drafting legislation and everyone else rubber stamping it. the senate has its chosen priority in a bipartisan bill

and the house has its priority in its reconciliation bill. and so the senate doesn't run the show. if the senate really wants to run with their bipartisan bill and they want to get on that, then they should give on reconciliation. >> joining me now is congressman debbie dingell, a democrat from michigan. thank you so much for your time. let me get your thoughts on what the congresswoman was saying there. do you agree with congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez that the senate needs to give when it comes to reconciliation? if so, why is it so important? >> well, i'm going to tell you, first of all, that there are two houses of congress and the house is the house of the people and we do have our right to talk about what we are going to need. so i feel very strongly that that is the case. there are a number of things that are very important to the midwest and to people across the country that i believe are going to have to be part of some kind

of bill. if we can't get them through the senate in a bipartisan way, and i'm always for bipartisanship when we can do it, we have no choice but to look at reconciliation. i'm someone that believes long-term care is critical. i introduced a bill with senator bob casey last thursday that i very much hope will be part of that. electric vehicles, there's not a significant amount of money really in the bipartisan proposal. although i might add we haven't even seen what the bipartisan proposal is. but we are going to a future vehicle, we've got to be doing much more there. so i do believe that the house has got to write its own bill and we have our own priority. >> fair enough. i guess the question that i was trying to get at and it was something that president biden alluded to in his op-ed and he writes neither democrats nor republicans got everything they wanted in this agreement. that's what it means to compromise. and each -- and reach consensus,

excuse me, the very heart of democracy. so i guess my question is do you agree with that sentiment, that bipartisanship is more important than going out and trying to get what you want to get that needs to get done? >> i'm going to tell you something. i am somebody who believes in bipartisan probably more than most democrats in the democratic caucus. but when you don't get things that are important to the american people, when things just stop, then there are times that you just have to stand up and say this has to get done. there are a number of things that are not in that bipartisan bill that i was sent to the congress to deliver for the people of my district that i represent and fight for in this country. so i think it's great when we can do things across the aisle. i always talk to members across the aisle. but i came here to get some things done. if the only way i can get them done is through reconciliation, that's how it's going to get done. >> the infrastructure deal includes very few of these

climate change issues that means a lot to you and other members and ordinary americans who are now alarmed by climate change, even so if it's not by all members of the republican party. your thoughts on the fact that this bipartisan deal does not go far enough on climate change and whether or not that in and of itself would be a nonstarter for you? >> so let me say this. while we're talking about this heat wave in the west, let me tell you about my district, which is totally buried underwater. i-94 has been closed. we got 7 inches of rain on friday night. people in my district don't have electricity. their basements, it is the worst rainstorm they have seen in 500 years. it's also the fifth or sixth once every 100-year storms that we've gotten in the last five or six years. i have -- too many times i'm out there in boats saving families. we have to do something. anybody can see these dramatic

and traffic temperature changes, the hurricanes, the wildfire, the floods and the tornados that we had in the midwest. we had four of them over the weekend. we've got to do something. so i hate labels. i hate progressive, i hate global climate, we need to do something. we've got to step up so that's what i'm committed to doing. >> congresswoman debbie dingell from the state of michigan, congresswoman, thank you so much. i greatly appreciate it. that wraps up the hour for me. just turning to quick breaking news out of new york city regarding the mayoral race, with the city announcing for the first time the final runoff, if you will, results between democratic mayoral primary in so far, eric adams and katherine garcia have made the final rounding with adams at 51% and garcia at 48%. that wraps up the hour for me. i'll see you back here tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. eastern.

hi there, everyone. it's 4:00 in the east. a vote in the house clearing the way for legislation to investigate the insurrection at the united states capitol by trump supporters. that legislation passing its final procedural hurdle ahead of tomorrow's vote among the now hardened obstruction from republicans after dispatching gop congressman john katko to first negotiate the terms of a bipartisan commission in which katko achieved everything the republicans initially wanted, kevin mccarthy flipped on his own member and has been frantically pushing a purge of his own leadership ranks of truth tellers like liz cheney and an obstruction campaign to thwart any investigations into january 6th, including his conversations with the ex-president, something liz cheney thinks he should testify about. the question of the hour today, will speaker
