joining us now, where he stayed with us throughout the vice president's words, john cornyn, center from the state of texas. what were your thoughts as you listened to joe biden speak there? >> frankly it saddened me to hear the vice president jump-start his presidential campaign again in the midst of this crisis. what we expect from leaders is to try to unify us, not point the finger of blame which is exactly what vice president biden dave. this is not a moment where we should engage in that sort of partisan blame game but that's exactly with the vice president did. painting too broadly rather than attacking the individuals that killed george floyd, and they paint that broadly across law enforcement across the country which i think is grotesquely unfair. we should target the bad actors and there should be a reckoning,

want to talk about the reaction that we're getting from republican texas senators ted cruz and john cornyne urging the trump administration, rightly so, to not pull federal funding to testing sites. 7 out of the 13 they want to pull are in the state of texas as i mentioned earlier. you also have the president at the same time yesterday in wisconsin once again saying if we don't have testing, we don't have more cases. essentially it seems like he doesn't want that testing to happen when, in fact, testing needs to take place in order to know how many coronavirus cases we have and to do contact tracing. what do you make of the start contrast between the president's behavior and now also what we're hearing from republican senators whose states are hard hit? >> well, i mean it's very telling obviously that the senators, they're both allies of the president that would come out and say they're opposed to this and urging him not to do this. what federal officials and i'm sure what the vice president will say later when he has that meeting that you mentioned is that the federal government isn't sto

senator john cornyn, he's a member of the senate republican leadership, he called on the white house yesterday to continue federal fund firsthanding for testing sites in his home state of texas. at the end of the month, a lot of the funding will run out. i think that's a sentiment being suppressed not just by democrats but republicans and in these individual states, especially states that are seeing these massive new outbreaks like texas. you're seeing republicans start to speak out against the white house response in a way that's getting more attention than it has in the past. >> yeah. and we're going to be talking about that later on in the hour, the fact that the president has threatened that they're going to pull testing sites from hard-hit states, specifically texas, which is also troubling when testing is needed now more than ever, when more and more folks are testing positive for the coronavirus. andrew desiderio, thank you. stay close. i know you have reporting on the u.s. and china. i want to dig into that yet. >>> also, everybody, the three white men involved in the kill of

john cornyn said, that stuff goes right over my head. the predicament they're in. >> first of all, let's talk about the absurdity of that. we're three and a half years into this administration. donald trump has been governing and communicating by tweet and every one of those senators and their staffs are addicted and must be so to the president's twitter feed to understand which way their political winds are blowing for the day. so the idea that they think that they can just sort of look past it i think is absurd on its face. that is how the president communicates. but you're right to note, alisyn, when i say the country has moved, the president, as he has for the bulk of his presidency believes that if he doesn't see his most ardent supporters moving on something, then he doubles down on what he thinks those supporters want. so it's never sort of a play for the majority position or for the country at large. it is thinking about how to keep this fervent connection between him and his most ardent supporters, who are not where a majority o

>> reporter: yeah, look, it sounds like john cornyn is getting on that same bill that ckamala harris and the other democrats had originally put forward. marco rubio tweeted his support and said woe do the same. stop me if you've heard this one before but the effectiveness of that effort will depend on the president ultimately. if you see republicans getting on board with that legislation. in the senate it's a very good sign. but as we've learned time and time again it's hard to keep the president's attention on any kind of major legislation and the majority of republicans in the senate probably won't sign on until they know that the president is for it. but nevertheless, a good positive step. this comes after the speaker ordered some confederate portraits taken down thirngsz that were still up in the speaker's lobby, that were taken down last night in advance of juneteenth. we're across the street from the african-american history museum here in downtown d.c. on the mall, where a crowd is starting to gather here. this is probably going to be the largest demonstration in d.c. when it'

meanwhile on capitol hill, senators kamala harris -- toronto of could and john cornyn, republican of texas, are introducing a bill to make juneteenth a national holiday. so, secretary bunch, why should juneteenth be a national holiday? >> guest: in many ways juneteenth is both a local story and a national story. it really is in some ways the second independence day in this country. for many people, juneteenth raises the fundamental question of the power and impact of freedom, and the fragility of freedom. so for me it's an opportunity to both look back but to look ahead, to make sure that notion of freedom and the fragility of it is always protected and celebrated. >> host: what lessons from juneteenth could be applied today? i you the fragility of freedom fragility of democracy, but what are the direct lessons that we could take hold of today? >> guest: first of all it's important to realize that what this day should remind us is that freedom wasn't given. in essence african-americans struggled in terms of self-liberation, running away, joining the army, that in essence they fought

in a conference call with the press, john cornyn said it's pretty clear to me and all of us that with the up tick of cases now is not a time to retreat from our vigilance in testing i believe they need to extend the federal support in texas at least until we get the most recent up tick in cases addressed. kasie, we are hearing from republican senators who on most issues are reluctant to cross the president, criticize the trump administration not being able to help but to say something when the federal government is pulling back funding for testing just as this becomes a very serious crisis in their states. >> and they are trying to deal with the crisis. and you are seeing, we talked about marco rubio earlier who said bluntly, where a damn mask. imagine if republicans had been delivering that message from the beginning and the way they framed that rhetoric showed what a difference the president could make if he was willing to do that. to go back to joe's point, if you solve the medical crisis you solve the cascading other crises that could potentially help him in november. wearing a ma

republican senator john cornyn said that democrats are, quote, completely insane to block the debate.sted there may not be a path forward. i guess the basic question i have is why not just allow a vote to proceed with debate and have amendments and then try to make the best legislation possible so then it can go on to be worked on in a conference committee with members of the house, which speaker pelosi, frankly, has suggested what she wants. >> jake, let me tell you. i've been in the senate a few years and i've worked on some major legislation, immigration reform, for example, the most important criminal justice reform bill of the last decade. each and every instance we started off with a bipartisan group that came together and said this is what we're going to stand for together. we're going to resist any debilitating amendments. we will go forward if we have to and do it alone if we have to. we do that and do it regularly and it's the way you succeed in the united states senate. but mitch mcconnell knows that. so what he's told us tomorrow, you get an up or down vote, democrats, tak
