8:00 am
the eastern region of the state and touring the damage. the floods killed 37 people. the trip coming on the heels of another major win for the president's agenda, sweeping bill to address health kane climate change. it includes more than $300 billion in climate investments. we'll talk with president biden's national climate adviser on that including a $35 cap on insulin and minimum tax on large corporations. joining us now white house correspondent kelly o'donnell, capitol hill correspondent ali vitali. what's the message going to be from the president? >> reporter: i think this will be a mission that will accomplish a couple different things. part of it is the job of the
8:01 am
president to go to places where there has been tragedy and dove station. he has the first lady with him. it is the compassion of the presidency to deliver. he is known for being able to connect with people going through hardship so expect to see some of that today. but then also to be able to talk about federal resources that are being brought to bear in kentucky. money that's already been delivered but then also being able to talk about the legislation just passed by the senate that deals with climate and to connect it to the devastation from flooding and storms that kentucky experienced and the communities around the nation have in all kinds of weather related events and to say part of what washington and his administration are trying to do is to find ways to releigh the climate crisis by putting in
8:02 am
new steps that will address some of that and so look for it to be part empathy and part policy as they visit kentucky today. of course just coming out of covid isolation and this is the first travel for the president in more than a couple weeks. jose? >> ali, that abill is now one step really closer to passage. where do things stand this morning on that bill? >> reporter: one step closer to passage because the senate was the hurdle. we had seen that this bill had fallen apart and negotiations came back. the people were like joe manchin and kirsten sinema with chuck schumer epa surprise much of washington announcing a deal on the landmark piece of
8:03 am
legislation and then senator sinema put her mark on it. but ultimately this bill then did pass the senate over the weekend. 22 hours of voting and work consecutively saturday to sun and democrats leaving washington with the wind at their back. the house now coming back at the end of the week on friday to do a part on this bill and actually pass it there. we don't expect any hiccups in that process and then it goes to president biden's desk for signature. the key thing in addition to the things that are in this bill on health care and the economy and cutting the cost of prescription drugs and the investment in climate and energy and they polled really well. it is important for the party
8:04 am
looking for key things to message on to show americans what they get when democrats have control. this is a key piece of that messaging. after passing yesterday more groups putting ads touting the key provisions. georgia and nevada. big contests in the house places that democrats want to win on in november. >> yeah. not only are they going with astds on it but talking about the political impact of the legislation. this is what senator chris murphy told "morning joe" earlier today. >> i think there's enormous backlash from the americans for the cap on insulin.
8:05 am
what we are trying to do is put a $35 cap on insulin not just folks on medicare but everybody and close to passing it. not enough republicans joined us to overcome the barrier. >> the republicans certainly some must be looking at this with caution because we are so close to november. >> reporter: that was one of the most politically contentious moments. that's a pefrd of unlimited amendments mostly offered by republicans. a result is what he was talking about. there's a price cap on insulin at $35 but only on medicare. republicans stripped out the provision as murphy was talking about to cover it for everyone. you got to expect that comes up
8:06 am
in a campaign ad doing the line against republicans but republicans broadly the message on this is the bill comes when democrats are spending and there's a landscape of inflation and economic uncertainty. they have been trying to hammer home. making this a referendum on biden and the democrats. it's not just the fact of a good few weeks to pass that semiconductor bill to ramp up production in the united states. but then also the bipartisan infrastructure deal. this latest on reconciliation and changing landscape on reproductive rights. over the weekend on the house democratic campaign arm is in a memo they polled in more than 25
8:07 am
of their tightest target districts and what it shows internally is abortion access polls as a top negative for republicans so democrats are starting to see an edge there coming out of election nights like kansas last week seeing victories that democrats point to right now, too. >> yeah. kelly, it is interesting. appears to have been a change in policy or intensity of the president in the bill in the senate. >> reporter: one thing that he struggled with or tried to navigate is letting go of joe biden the senator. he was directly involved with phone calls and negotiation and the staff and aides talk about that publicly and then decided
8:08 am
that perhaps the public didn't want him doing both roles. so he's backed off and trying to allow senators to be senators and let them legislate and have the staff do the work in between and a bit more hands off so they stopped talking about specific conversations with legislators and senators to try to show us how involved he is and removed the joe biden fingerprints and there's been legislative wins that fit with the biden agenda and works well for schumer as the senate majority leader and nancy pelosi as the speaker and the president's benefit. perhaps less of joe biden in the legislative process is working to his own political benefit. jose? >> the president is just landed
8:09 am
in kentucky. i want to bring in kathy park on the ground in lost creek, kentucky. what conditions are people mace facing in eastern kentucky? >> reporter: good to be with you. we apologize. cell service is spotty in this area and only location to get the signal out. we were at a gas station impacted by the flooding. but the water receded but now there's a huge cleanup ahead. one of the many counties impacted by the natural disaster. mud cakes pretty much all the homes in this community and a lot of families here cleaning up. they are digging out. trying to save anything. there is some standing water.
8:10 am
the big concern is more storms in the forecast. we shall told that some of the debris is blocking the creek beds in the area. one to two more inches of rain could lead to complications. the death toll is at 37 but we spoke with a local firm in the community and two people are unaccounted for. keep in mind this is a very rural area of appalachia and folks live in remote areas and they hope that people are still alive. national guard are trying to assist those cut off from basic needs and making the rounds to see if anyone needs help and we were told the bridges going to hollers in this area blocked off by the debris and not getting to
8:11 am
them right away and hopeful the death toll won't climb. >> kathy park, ali vitali and kelly o'donnell, thank you. let's bring in gina mccarthy. great seeing you. thank you for your time. can you give us a snensz of how significant the climate initiatives are in this bill? >> i have to say that i have been working on climate issues now or 30-plus years. i have never seen or anticipated anything as significant as this piece of legislation. i am just so excited to see that the president's vision and his understanding of how to address climate change, you see the damage it's creating. we have to take action on it. we can bring opportunities to communities at times when they
8:12 am
need it. yes, we will invest in adaptation in the bill but we are going to save families money and show that the shift to clean energy is more secure and reliable for our communitys. that we can invest in urban and rural communities so this is about building opportunities. this is truly the president's vision that acting on climate isn't a sacrifice. working with the labor community. putting more people back to work. this is a groundbreaking, historic opportunity before us not just domestically but to change the complexion of the world of how they look at climate change and how we can work together to prevent disasters like in kentucky. it is time to invest and make
8:13 am
the people understand that the united states of america is going to lead again. >> what would you say to folks that maybe have been for generations working at the fossil fuel industry? is this something like you people are out of luck. we'll look to help others. what about the people that have the entire livelihoods related to and tied to the fossil fuel industry? >> that's sort of point that senator manchin was a leader in this and west virginia is making the transition and what this bill really allows us to do is make sure that no one is left behind. between the bipartisan infrastructure law and this bill we are talking about investments in rural communities and urban. wore talking about working with fossil fuel workers who might have lost the job or see the
8:14 am
transition happening so we can put them back to work. we have investing in them. we are not leaving people behind. if we want to have clean energy and security and offer people incentives that lower the energy biming and the kothss at the bill with the new clean bills and this is what is going to grow our labor community, what's going to ensure that we have competitive in manufacturing to compete against china. we are investing in ourselves and looking specifically to make sure that no one is left behind. >> thank you so much for your time. >> thank you. federal hate crimes
8:15 am
sentencing of travis mcmichael. let's go right to ron allen. ron? >> reporter: it is a life sentence which is what the family and the supporters had been demanding of the judge and that was not a big surprise. what is significant is that the judge refused to allow him to serve the time in federal prison opposed to state prison. this was an unusual sentencing hearing, mostly about where he would serve the time. they claim that he and the father a teb third defendant received death threats. she said it would be a back door death penalty with the hatred towards him. for their part the government, arguing for the family, said basically that he deserves no
8:16 am
special treatment and the first arresting entity in this case the case of georgia where the sentence should be served and life sentences in state prison and now travis mcmichael a life sentence in federal prison. we expect the next hearing to begin shortly of gregory mcmichael and then the third man who joined the chase. only one with the possibility of parole in the state sentence. the rest -- the other two defendants is life in prison and tods in federal court another life sentence for travis mcmichael. >> thank you so much. next, new hints what the supreme court's abortion ruling could mean for the fall's mid toerms and in indiana with a near total ban abortion.

8:21 am
state to pass a near total abortion ban after roe was struck down and now economic fallout. eli lilly which employs 10,000 people and ahead quartered in indianapolis for 145 years says the law forces them to plan for growth outside of indiana. antonio hilton is following the fallout and with us legal analyst joyce vance. antonio, tell us more about this indiana abortion law. >> if you every a woman in indiana we are looking at a near total ban with narrow exceptions. in the case of rape, incest, a fetal abnormality or the life and health of the mother. also looking at a ban on clinics doing the abortions so it is restricted to hospitals. and to put that part of the
8:22 am
change in perspective 98% of abortion procedures have been performed at clinics in this state and places like planned parenthood can't do the procedures starting september 15th. this law has also come on the heels of a lot of attention on the state as a 10-year-old who was raped in ohio traveled to indiana for abortion care. >> these kind of decisions are never made in a vacuum. and there are polls going each way but actually the insistence is we protech as many people as possible. >> if you are pro life you can't be happy. if you are pro choice you can't be happy. people need to vote in november.
8:23 am
>> many of the anti-abortion lawmakers in the state felt like this legislation did not go far enough. many not supportive of any kind of exception and then of course on the side of folks pro abortion this is a political and legal issue looking to options and november and try to draw a contrast between themselves and conservative lawmakers. making the arguments that democrats will be on their side and a question for people that live or work in the state to remain there. >> in september what legal issues do you foresee considering the state is a patch work of laws? >> that's exactly the right place to focus. what happened in dobbs is the
8:24 am
supreme court left the rules around abortion up to every state legislature meaning that women no longer have a right to abortion but the states can be prohibited from burdening so to the closure of clinics in indiana reducing access in the state if you look at this one narrow facet of the law it means that the only women who will be able to obtain necessary medical procedures as indiana very narrowly defines them are women with the ability to go to a hospital for services. that implies people with money and more time and willingness to jump through hoops and have exposure they don't have when using a clin.
8:25 am
this is essentially a ban on abortion services in indiana. although i new we'll see legal challenges very little opportunity with success. >> look at georgia. the state's department will recognize any unborn child with a detectable human haefrt as eligible for the tax dependent exemption and amounts to $3,000. what are the legal implications here? >> there are a lot of unforeseen situations. not just these sort of interesting financial consequences that in georgia pushing this as a way to get some people on board because it will benefit them financially in

(woman vo) sailing a great river past extraordinary landscapes into the heart of iconic cities is a journey for the curious traveler, one that many have yet to discover. exploring with viking brings you closer to the world, to the history, the culture, the flavors, a serene river voyage on an elegant viking longship. learn more at viking.com four years after the trump administration launched the controversial family separation policy new details emerge about what happened. more than 5,000 families were separated under that program. advocates estimate more than 1,000 families still remain separated. now we get a deeper look into
8:31 am
what happened, how it happened and why it happened. the atlantic staff writer katelyn dickerson investigated for eight months on the policy and examined the questions and katelyn dickerson join us this morning. thank you for being with us. this is a widespread policy decision. how many people were involved in these decisions? >> so the decision itself probably had to do with two dozen people at the top of the bureaucracy and among the top political appointees at the trump administration. it took far, far, far more people to carry it out and that question was really one that i set out to answer initially because i think family separation which culminated into the zero tolerance policy under president trump got so much
8:32 am
atense and people assumed that it's an idea that stephen miller came up with in the white house with the president but i knew that a lot more people needed to be involved to carry it through. i wanted to figure out how did the administration put the policy in place? >> how was it that it was able to maintain the policy for a long period of time? it seems like something so uniquely different of targeting people, the destruction of families as an incentive not to cross the border. seems as though it was allowed to continue because of many people being involved. >> i traced the origins of family separation and the zero
8:33 am
tolerance policy going back to 9/11 when the dhs created with the goal to secure the border under the broader intent to prevent another terrorist attack in the quite but in doing so you have the largest law enforcement agency in the country prevent illegal crossings and the approach is one called prevention by deterrence introducing consequences. prosecuting the people that cross the border illegally and starting around 2014 you saw more families and children crossing the border and career immigration officials that came up with the idea to separate families to increase consequences as the numbers grew of trying to discourage them and
8:34 am
this is taking that concept of prevention further than ever before. >> yeah. the timeline is important and this is not something that just started from one day to the next. you talked with a salvadorian official that she saw in texas. you wrote and i want to read this. when she walked into the process cent every for the first time she saw the children and parents screaming and reaching for each other. this is just so horrendous. what did you find out about how traumatic of an experience this was?
8:35 am
>> the story matches what we have been hearing from separated children and parent that is tell the stories for years now and never heard the accounts corroborated by anyone else. i worked for months to speak to anybody present for these separations to get the administration's side of the story. i asked the biden administration to produce border patrol agents to talk to because i would haefr in general from the administration's side that the separations were carried out humanely and smoothly. completely die verged from what you heard from the families. so i was thrilled that gonzalez was brave enough to describe what she saw and said it was horrible with families separated all at the same time and had to
8:36 am
physically interject between a couple of situations where agents pulling on a child and the parent is pulling on the other arm. she is worried a child would be hurt and asked to step in to calm people down because the parents were so upset and haunted by the screams of the children today. >> what a horrible situation. there's a certain amount of family separations every day as parent that is bring the children to the board every have to decide to send them by themselves separated with a better shot to stay in the united states. this is still going on today as it continues to be the law of the land. thank you. extraordinary work. i thank you so much for being with us this morning. >> thank you. coming up, it is expected to

8:51 am
where people are in refugee centers, in bunkers like in kharkiv, but obviously what you see in the east even when president zelenskyy has announced he wants everybody from the donbas and luhansk to evacuate, there's a lot of people that don't do it because they're old, they're sick, they don't have money, they are afraid of leaving the only possessions they have. so this is a hard situation. they are putting themselves in harm's way, but sometimes it's hard. i understand why they don't want to leave. the big message i want to send to the world is this. winter is coming. those places in the east, in the eastern north and south, there's not electricity in many places.
8:52 am
it's going to be a brutal winter. i was here in february and march. even in april it was snowing, was freezing cold. without electricity, without heat, we're going to have hundreds of thousands, if not millions that are going to suffer. that's why i hope the united states, i hope europe, i hope the united nations and us at central kitchen will be there in ukraine making sure that in realtime we're going to be solving what could be in this winter one very messy humanitarian situation. if we start preparing right now, i think we can solve many of the issues that are going to be showing up in winter, but we need to step up or this is going to be a long, long winter for millions of ukrainians. >> jose, when your heart and soul and dedication is there, as it is always, it gives us a lot of hope. thank you for being with us this morning.
