tv   Chris Jansing Reports  MSNBC  June 30, 2022 10:00am-11:00am PDT

10:00 am
i am robert strickler. i've been involved in communications in the media for 45 years. i've been taking prevagen on a regular basis for at least eight years. for me, the greatest benefit over the years has been that prevagen seems to help me recall things and also think more clearly. and i enthusiastically recommend prevagen. it has helped me an awful lot. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. good afternoon, i'm chris jansing in new york city. on another day when multiple stories are developing as we speak, we begin at the supreme court where less than an hour
10:01 am
ago ketanji brown jackson was sworn in as the newest justice and first black woman in the court's history. but while she brings new diversity to the court, she won't change the ideological makeup and that's a big issue for those concerned with a string of decisions are just the start of a broader push, reshaping the cultural face of america. and it was roe today that pushed president biden to reverse his long held position. now calling on congress to carve out an exception to the 60-vote filibuster and pass new laws that would protect abortion rights. >> i believe we have to codify roe v. wade in the law and the way to do that is to make sure the congress votes to do that. and if the filibuster gets in the way, it's like voting rights, it should be, we provide an exception for this, require an exception to the filibuster for this action. >> his speech came just hours
10:02 am
before two new decisions. the first actual delivering a win for the biden administration ruling that it acted properly when it ended trump's remain in mexico policy. but the court dealt a blow limiting the epa's power to regulate harmful greenhouse gases. we'll have more on those, but all of that is happening as the january 6th investigation is posing potential new perils for republicans following cassidy hutchinson's explosive testimony. committee member liz cheney speaking at the reagan library last night received sustained applause and a standing ovation as she stepped to the podium to deliver a scathing assessment of where her party stands right now. >> at this moment, we are confronting a domestic threat that we have never faced before. and that a former president who is attempting to unravel the foundations of our constitutional republic.
10:03 am
and he is aided by republican leaders and elected officials who made themselves willing hostages to this dangerous and irrational man. >> her speech comes amid two big developments. the first, the decision to issue a subpoena to compel pat cipollone to testify next wednesday, july 6th. the second from cheney herself who told abc's john carl that the committee may make a criminal referral to doj recommending that anyone who attempted to influence witness testimony be prosecuted for witness tampering. so we've got lots to get to and i want to bring in ali on capitol hill. glenn, a former federal prosecutor. brendan buck worked for go republican house speakers. and juanita toliver is an msnbc analyst.
10:04 am
why might this time be different? >> well, you know, this time probably will be different, chris. you know, we can all understand that the legislature is a separate, equal branch of government to the executive branch where the department of justice resides. they want to do their work thoroughly and professionally. they want to issue a report and that's when they will probably begin to make criminal referrals. however, when it comes to matters such as witness tampering, some of which we're now seeing, that's the kind of thing that needs to be referred in realtime because you know, when somebody tries to tamper with an investigation, whether congressional or criminal, that strikes right at the heart of the integrity of the investigation so that's the kind of thing that i would urge the department of justice to jump on with both feet figuratively speaking, in realtime so the j6 committee can continue to do the work that is so important in documenting and exposing what went on during the insurrection.
10:05 am
>> and you could certainly argue this really raises the stakes, but the committee's concern, and we've known this for a while, is that a criminal referral would too much of a political lens on a decision the justice partment would reach about arging. so is there an argument to be made that the committee should let doj do its work? >> look, i think we've seen a lot of tensions between the committee and doj in terms of transcripts and video depositions, but i think the select committee is maybe overstating how political it will be, especially based on the explosive evidence they've been laying out in realtime. think about cassidy hutchinson's testimony, which connected the elector's plot with the premeditated effort to attack and target the capitol building. with the premeditated effort to have trump on site. i think they need to absolutely extend and exhaust everything they have in their power to try to make sure that the doj gets
10:06 am
this right because this attempted coup cannot be glossed over. this unprecedented action by a sitting president cannot be glossed over and so i think it's important they recognize and zoom out a little bit and refocus this on the reality of the continued threat that donald trump continues to present as well as the long-term impact this will have on our democracy if it goes without any degree of serious accountability or even prosecution. >> which was the point liz cheney was making tonight. the other big move, ali, is the subpoena for pat cipollone. clearly the testimony of cassidy hutchinson told us what a key player he was in the days before and after the insurrection. what do you think? will he be willing to testify and what could be most important to hear from him? >> what i heard yesterday when the committee was thinking about issuing the subpoena, in order for cipollone to come back before then, they probably needed this as the precursor for
10:07 am
optics reasons and others. the fact he was subpoenaed now gives his legal team to know what to do with that. one of his key concerns is the idea of executive privilege. the way other people in this orbit who are at his level from the trump white house, the person i'm speaking of specifically is former chief of staff mark meadows, is this idea of executive privilege is obviously stronger for them as actual official officials than it was for steve bannon. the way cipollone is thinking about this of course is going to be important then of course the way that it actually manifests is going to be important, too. the committee have already spoken to cipollone. they mentioned this in the subpoena, that they talked to him behind closed doors in april. and the reason they want him now again is because they have more questions. he's probably, if he decides to cooperate, going to testify again behind closed doors.
10:08 am
our sources tell us that would just be a transcribed deposition. no less important though to the committee ultimately getting to the bottom line here, which is that cipollone was in many of these meetings that cassidy hutchinson was talking about, but also that those top former officials from the department of justice were talking absolutely about. cipollone can shed light on who said what in those meetings, but also his view as the white house's top lawyer there, the committee has gone to pain staking lengths to try to show the former president and his top allies were moving ahead, not just with these false elector strategies and attempts to overturn the election, but also what the white house was talking about during the insurrection, showing they did these things even as people were telling them they were probably illegal. >> brendan, really interesting ap poll was just released and shows while nearly half of the public thinks trump should face criminal charges for his role on
10:09 am
january 6th, it's almost come completely driven by democrats. just 10% of republicans think he should be charged. that was taken before hutchinson's testimony. would you expect that changes the dynamic? and we have a couple more hearings to go. >> i'm skeptical to say this is dramatically going to change trump's fortunes within the republican party. the reason is many of them are tuned out. there's been a year long effort to whitewash what happened there. tell people this was agitators from the left, there's not a lot of room for republicans to have an open mind. but what liz cheney is doing is going to have a political impact and i'm looking at a general election. donald trump is probably still the nominee for the republican party if he decides to go for it, but it's becoming awfully
10:10 am
risky. you've got to imagine that a mike pence or ron desantis is looking at this a little differently than they did before. but i think liz cheney is the center of the entire effort to have a different nominee. so many republicans want to dance around this. mike pence wants to talk about the trump-pence agenda. liz cheney is the only one to go after donald trump. to attack him by name. to raise the stakes on this and it may cost her her seat. it makes her the most self-less politician i've seen. she's willing to run a political kamakaze mission. you rarely see that these days. >> the doj meantime is basically laying low, which is what they do. i want to play what lisa monaco, deputy attorney general, had to say last night about how the justice department is handling the investigation. >> we are doing what we should do, which is following the facts
10:11 am
and the law wherever they lead and the attorney general and i have been very clear about this as well. we will continue to do that. the prosecutors on these cases and in these investigations will continue to do that and hold perpetrators to account no matter what level they may have occupied and whether they were there on january 6th or not. >> look, you spent years inside the justice department. you know the way it works. for those wondering why the doj, why attorney general merrick garland have not brought charges against people like donald trump, what do you tell them? >> so, chris, people might not understand. the federal prosecutors investigate crime proactively. what does that mean? it means before any arrest is made, they're in the grand jury presenting witnesses and evidence and they do that thoroughly and sometimes exhaustively. in my experience sometimes they do it too exhaustively and they
10:12 am
take too long to reach a prosecutorial decision where as state prosecutors work reactively, an arrest is made and they are in court prosecuting. we now know courtesy of this most recent january 6th hearing that donald trump intended to lead not just an attack on the capitol, but an attack he knew was going to be an armed attack. so what i would urge the department of justice to do, when the house is on fire, i think it's a fair observation that our democracy is on fire. your don't take a lot of time to sort of measure the ph balance of the water. you unravel the hose. you deploy it full blast and you begin to hold people accountable to stop the clear and present danger to our democracy that i would contend donald trump still represents. so i expect that the department of justice is doing it. that they're picking up the pace given what we just learn.
10:13 am
>> the other thing you do, bennie thompson argues, is you step up. i want to play something else that cheney said last night about hutchinson's willingness to step up and testify. >> little girls all across this great nation are seeing what it really means to love this country and what it really means to be a patriot and let me also say this to the little girls and to the young women watching tonight. these days, for the most part, men are running the world. and it is really not going that well. >> but look, there are people who could do what she did. some who frankly could fill in the gaps without likely exposing themselves to any criminal liability, but they haven't. do any of them, do you think, look at what she's done and are saying and having conversations with their lawyers, maybe it's time? >> well, depends on who their
10:14 am
lawyer is because just like cassidy hutchinson had, she got rid of her trump affiliated lawyer, switched attorneys and after four depositions, now comes out with a more complete story with new details. so i think that's a bigger part of it, too. but i was absolutely stunned that this 25-year-old woman is standing here when you have folks like meadows, cipollone, vice president pence even whose life was directly targeted, setting back and letting their staffers take this on. i think it also says a lot about the select committee's strategy and focusing on mid level staffers who were less tied to trump and less drinking his kool-aid if you will, for fewer decades, because they were willing to go out and say the truth and speak to the elect committee unlike the other people and advisers on trump's team and campaign. but i do think that chairman thompson is right in saying hey, if you found any courage, come talk to us and the next person they're targeting with that is cipollone, who begin as ali
10:15 am
mentioned, spoke to the select committee in april informally, but now it's time to step up, take an oath and testify under oath. >> ali and glenn, thank you. brendan, you're sticking around. also in washington, ketanji brown jackson's historic appointment. what is new justice getting into? plus, biden 2024. the president has begun pitching himself as the rightful nominee in the election, but is his party convinced and who else might run against him? and if you're headed to the airport this weekend, will it be smooth flying or stress inducing nightmares? answers to your questions ahead. you're watching chris jansing reports only on msnbc. you're wa you're wa reports only on msnbc. is taking care of dinner and desert. you're remembering how to tie a windsor. and while your washer is getting out those grass stains.

10:19 am
my minions will save me. [ speaking minion ] unless they screw everything up. hello. from judge to justice, today, we're entering a new era for the supreme court. because just in the last hour,
10:20 am
ketanji brown jackson officially joined a bench and breyer hung up his robes. and a big loss for the federal government's ability to regulate climate change, but a win for the biden administration on border policy. all of it though only crystallizing the weight of the 6-3 majority court justice jackson is joining. we've seen life changing rulings on everything from the roll back of abortion rights, expansion of second amendment rights even the fraying over the barrier between church and state. so what will this new justice and americans face next term? ken dilanian joins me. also, maria teresa kumar and back with me, brendan back, who
10:21 am
worked for former republican house speakers, paul ryan and john boehner. so, i think the blunt question is what is brown jackson getting herself into because look, just one of three in the minority on the court. >> her being there is going to represent a large swath of americans, african american women in particular and african american community and her life experience demonstrates the need to have her voice there alongside that of sonia sotomayor. you could counter that in with the life experience of the current justice that is allowing them to make such extreme decisions themselves on the other side, but fundamentally, it's a matter of having a diverse court that looks like america and that also means reminding voters that voting matters. the reason that we are seeing such dissents on what the majority of americans want where we're talking about abortion bans, climate change legislation, whether we're talking even about this idea of
10:22 am
who should have a gun and concealed weapons is because trump delivered to his voters that they were going to appoint justices. i think the democrats need to take that lesson and vote as aggressively and mobilize as aggressively along with what is at stake when these judgment rs coming to the supreme court and they're legislating on behalf of a congress that's at a standstill. >> let's talk about one of the most controversial judgments. earlier, president biden made big news for setting down a marker on how to codify abortion rights. >> i believe we have to codify roe v. wade in the law and way to do that is to make sure the congress votes to do that. and if the filibuster gets in the way, it's like voting rights, it should be, we provide an exception for this, the -- require an exception to the filibuster for this action. and you think this decision by the court with an outrage or a significant mistake, vote.
10:23 am
>> it does tell you about the urgency that a lot of democrats feel in this moment, but what are you going to look for and what do you think the political implications might be? >> he is the voting is most important. democrats have tried this. they don't have the votes. don't even have 50 votes to change this. let alone get over a filibuster. there's a lot of conversation about the filibuster. joe manchin, democrat from west virginia, voted with republicans so i know he has to say this. but this is going to come down to the american people voting and who they want to send to the senate. there was a much more liberal courts for years and i think democrats got complacent. republicans took it seriously and organized and works for years and years and years to get to this point. the court was much more important to republicans than democrats and i think that's going to change. i think what he's doing is raising the bar for the next election in the senate and for years to come. that's where this is going to
10:24 am
happen. there are no shortcuts. no around thibuster. no stacking the court. if you want to change it, you have to vote. >> you have to vote, but also we're looking at what a lot of people have been talking about, maria, which is what they see as a chaotic situation from state to state and we just learned in the last couple of minutes, this breaking news, that a florida federal judge has halted a new law that would have prohibited all abortions in the state after 15 weeks of pregnancy. look, the high court's decision has unleashed a state level legal battle royale all across the country. what are we look at here now that we've had a little time to digest what the supreme court said? >> well, on one side, they said that it's federal law to decide who can carry a gun in this country. not the state's and on the other hand instead to preserve agency over one's body. and i think that we could agree at the end of the day, the voters have to decide what kind
10:25 am
of state legislature they have. the challenge, chris, that we're having, is that so many of these areas have been highly gerrymandered that we are trying to see what avenues there are to combat this legislation and a lot of these court orders because they are not necessarily the majority of these people even within the states that espouse these antiabortion bans. so that is one of the challenges we are finding. i have to say there's a lot of attorneys on the case on the progressive side suing the heck out of the gerrymandering and you're going to see a lot of them seeing on the case of abortions. that's exhaustive. what it's telling us is that we have to modernize our election system. we have to revisit not only the issue, but how do you expand the vote to eligible voters through automatic voter registration and these other pieces of stuff, other piece of policy that we know work in other countries. if you look at australia, if you look at new zealand, modern
10:26 am
democracies where they encourage people not only to participate, but in some cases, demand it. the nice thing about demanding automatic registration, you see the bipolarization of both extremes come down. >> and i think in great democracies, brendan, you see a belief in important institutions. there's this poll released the day before the court overturned roe v. wade and it shows confidence in the supreme court at an historic low. just 25%. that's down 11 points in a year. i mean, you see the conservative majority ruling, how it has this term. being criticized for taking a hammer to legal president. do you see this term hurting the views of the institution ooechbl further and maybe even impacting how the republicans view the party that put these justices in the majority? >> it's getting much more political than i've ever seen it. that could have long-term political impacts.
10:27 am
the roe decision i think is absolutely bad for republicans nationally. there are a ton of republican voters for whom this is very important and you can't alienate them. why you're seeing state after state republican legislatures are moving forward with what is probably bad national politician. banning abortion, for a party that has struggled with women voters, this is a bad place to go. so yeah, i think this is damaging the credibility of the court. i think what you're seeing though is this is a first time you've had a solid conservative shift and it feels like it's happen l quickly. a lot of the court cases we've seen in the last few weeks are not terribly surprising to me as a conservative. i don't think the epa has the authority to regulate whatever it wants. congress should be doing those things. the court has switched over so now you're getting a taste of that, but we haven't seen it in a while. >> so ken, looking at this term,
10:28 am
let's talk about what quantified this shift, but what other high profile cases we could expect? >> what we saw was not only a conservative majority deciding cases. we've seen that before. what was different with this new majority is a new approach to interpreting the constitution. not as a living document but as one set in stone in the era of the people who wrote it. we saw that in the new york gun case where the court is saying now that the only relevant question on gun regulations is whether they are consistent without regulations throughout history. never mind there was no such thing as ar-15 rifles in the '60s. in the abortion decisi, i struck by a passage in justice kagan's dissent, they were interpreting it as written in 1868. women didn't even have the right to vote at that time. and today in the epa ruling, the court has rewritten the standard
10:29 am
on the air we breathe, drugs we take in a way that will make regulation much harder. looking ahead, the court will deal with big and contentious issues. next term, they'll hear a redistricting case out of alabama as well as two affirmative action cases challenging admissions policies at harvard and the university of north carolina. the justices will also hear a case concerning a web designer who won't work with same-sex couples and just agreed to hear a case that could pave the way for state legislatures to set aside the results of elections and impose their own will and clarence thomas, alito, kavanaugh and gorsuch are on the record as supporting this which holds that state legislatures have the sole power to set rules for elections and their decisions cannot be reviewed by state courts. if they convince amy coney
10:30 am
barrett, it's hard to imagine a more significant case. >> it is. thanks to all of you. we're going to stick with the high court and its decision on the remain in mexico policy. now a major win for the biden administration and migrants seeking asylum. we've got gabe gutierrez who's done extensive reporting from both sides of the border with us next. both sides of the border with us both sides of the border with us next excuse me! enjoy the minions menu at ihop. for a limited time kids eat free! and catch minions: the rise of gru. for a limited time kids eat free!

10:35 am
this ruling? >> as you mentioned, this obviously comes at a heightened time of interest ahead of the midterm elections. you mentioned the death of those 53 migrants in san antonio and we're getting breaking news that four other migrants were just killed in what authorities were killed in a human smuggling incident. separate incident near laredo. the supreme court was in a interesting situation here. basically ruling on federal immigration policy. as you mentioned, the reaction is pouring in. authorities in texas, lieutenant governor patrick saying this will lead to increased migration at the southern border. he says this will be devastating for the u.s. and state of texas, but we're hearing from advocates at the border. i've been down there to tijuana within the last year and they said this was a step in the
10:36 am
right direction because it isn't officially over now, the policy, because now it goes down to lower courts and title 42, which of course you've been covering on this show, remains in place. so there are some real questions on whether, you know, will this be an influx of migrants across the border, but the last few hour, we have been speaking with immigration advocates. they see this as a very positive step in the right direction. the advocate i was speaking to in mexico in one of the tent camps we visited last year, she says things have gotten more dangerous for those migrants. they're having to go through kidnappings, rapes, even murders in some of those migrant camps anned now they're separate shel with with growing number of migrants that were south of the border while remain in mexico was in place. the policy you described as migrant protection protocols
10:37 am
that has enacted during the trump administration. immigration advocates saying migrants weren't protected. instead, they were threatened. >> good to have you here in new york. thank you so much. 67 years after the horrific abduction, torture and murder of emmett till, his family is calling for an arrest. a teen searching a mississippi courthouse basement for evidence in his case has found an unserved warrant charging a white female in his 1955 lynching. her name, carolyn bryant living in her 80s in north carolina. she was identified as rory on the document, who alleged till flirted with her, a white, married woman, and pointed him out to the two men accused of killing her. six years ago, she recanted those allegations for the author of the book, the blood of till.
10:38 am
she said of her long ago allegations that he grabbed her and was menacing and sexually crude towards her. that was not true. till was just 14 at the time. now as one relative said when the warrant was found, serve it and charge her. that was publicized at the time, but the sheriff at the time told reporters he did not want to bother her since she had two young children to care for. coming up, as we look ahead to 2024, we're asking this. be joe biden run for re-election? the president has begun pitching himself to fellow democrats as the strongest nominee, but how confident is his party? you're watching chris jansing reports only on msnbc. you're watching chris jansing you're watching chris jansing reports only on msnbc. on a fixed budget, remember the three ps. what are the three ps? the three ps of life insurance on a fixed budget

new reporting reveals that president biden has been pitching himself to democrats as the best candidate for 2024.
10:43 am
fundraisers on the sidelines of recent events. people who have spoken to the president tell nbc news that biden regularly makes the case that he's the only one who can beat donald trump. sometimes even listing all of his potential democratic challengers. vice president kamala harris chiming in on 2024 this week telling the "l.a. times" she will stay on biden's ticket if he runs. joining me now, mike, the newest approval rating we have for the president is 38% from reuters. given that number, is his message working? does he really need to work hard to convince folks that he's the likely and best nominee? >> well, chris, we just have to remind ourselves how unusual this conversation is. typically, it's not even a thought that the sitting president would seek a second term, but you give one number, 38%. that's the president's approval rating. that's one concern for democrat. the other number that's concerning is 81.
10:44 am
that's how old president biden will be on election day. that's why this president is frustrated this conversation is so public and why the white house is looking at 2022, the midterm campaign, as an opportunity to really reaffirm and demonstrate to the party that he is not just the best candidate to lead the party at this given moment, but the best candidate who could stand up and beat donald trump in a rematch. he's going to be using the fall to test drive the message, but also to show he has the stamina to run for re-election. >> who else could the nominee be? who's he been talking about? >> it's so interesting that one of the things here, we would assume if the president weren't going to run, that kamala harris would clear the field. that's obviously not the case based on how many democrats are talking publicly about potentially running themselves. you have some of the candidates who ran in 2020. senator amy klobuchar among them who would potentially run again.
10:45 am
also members of the president's cabinet beyond harris. pete buttigieg as a potential candidate. you also have a group of democrats who are likely going to be on the ballot, potentially have big ones in a tough midterm year, that that would help them build the case. governor pritzker in illinois who didn't rule it out, but also governor newsome in california. >> yeah, mike, first of all, thank you, but juanita, what governor pritzker said is he thinks it is certainly possible joe biden could face a primary challenge. where do you put the chances of that and what do you think the circumstances would have to be? >> i got to start with the midterms haven't happened yet. i want everybody to pump the brakes here. we got a long way to go and the midterms are going to be a big
10:46 am
indicator about who else could be running, but i think if these conditions continue to trend downward, i wouldn't rule out a primary challenger to a sitting president as unprecedented as it would be, but i do think that the president has something on his side when he talks about i beat trump in 2020, but to contextualize that, in 2020, voters were largely motivated about getting rid of trump. that was the mandate. they knew they didn't like what they were seeing. they knew he was harmful and didn't want any part of that. i heard in focus group after focus group. we saw that energy went towards president biden when he was elected. but considering those approval numbers that mike mentioned, considering the fact that yes, the white house has seen a lot of historic economic growth, they've seen a lot of moments
10:47 am
including today with ketanji brown jackson, historic investments in infrastructure, people are still struggling. i said they need to make people's lives markedly better than they were under the last guy, but with rising costs, the pandemic that's not quite gone yet, with the reality that people again are still trying to make ends meet, i think that's something that the president needs to focus all his energy on now. don't talk to me about 2024. use every bit of energy you have to address issues that people are facing now. use every bit of energy that the white house has to address this highly partisan support that's been issuing rulings and judgments that are harmful for this country and attacks on our basic privacy. >> i wonder if his best argument and i'm interested in what you think about this. is to say i'm the guy who can
10:48 am
beat donald trump. first of all, there has been a lot of back and forth about whether donald trump would run under the best circumstances, but number two, given what we're seeing from the january 6 commission, will he even be able to run? is that the best argument to hang your hat on? >> i think that needs to be a large portion of the argument, right? making the case for why trump is not fit to serve in any electoral capacity. emphasizing this not only attempted coup, but the ongoing threat that trump presented to our democracy. emphasizing and painting a crystal clear picture which contrasts the biden presidency with the trump presidency is going to be clear because you better believe people are taking all of that information in on top of what they're experiencing in realtime day-to-day. painting that picture of how destructive a second trump presidency will be is going to be critical and for different demographic groups.
