errin: . [inaudible]. >> absolutely.we could keep going but we have questions from the audience and i want to get to a couple of those. so michelle frank is asking you refer to alice's movies several time. however, the movie was steven spielberg some markers not operated can check about the addresses that in her text . because in some ways, walker had the burden of the reframing of the issues of important moments in her novel. in such a great question. you do get into this in the book for unit speech of yes and thank you michelle. so this movie, since he was the director. in the early stages, they asked alice walker to write the original script. so she writes the script has two titles. it's given them a more room and screen version. so once he decides not to go and hired another writer. alice still part of the process. she makes certain demands about the racial equity in the makeup of the crew . said has to be more people of color which is before our moment of writers. analysis onset every day. so on one hand, it wasn't

errin haines, editor at larning for the 19th. my colleague, mark mazzetti, washington investigative correspondent for "the new york times," and ashley parker, white house bureau chief for "the washington post." mark, you wrote a very smart piece this week looking at the missing two hours, the attack on january 6, wt did we learn this week about the security breakdown and what happened on that day? mark: we learned some elements that filled in a little bit of that picture. so we know that chief of the catol police, steven sund, on that day at around 1:00 in the afternoon, right as the crowd wasreaching the barricades, made an urgent request for the national guard, the d.c. national guard. that request was not fulfilled for two hours. almost two hours. and the guard didn't show up for hours after that. we know that chief sund put a request into the house and senate sergeants at arms who delayed actually fulfilling that request. and even after they fulfilled it, the pentagon took some time to actually decide whether to do it or not.

msnbc contributor errin haines. and white house reporter shannon patty peace. president biden signaling he wants this to get through the senate quickly. here's what vice president harris told reverend sharpton. >> what we need to do is pass the american rescue plan so we can get those $1,400 checks to folks, so we can save our small businesses, so that we can pass the child tax credit, so that families can lift half of american children living in poverty out of poverty. let's extend the unemployment benefits. let's do all of these things, partnering together, so that we can get through this moment of crisis. >> so shannon, you will notice what she did not mention there. the $15 minimum wage push. the senate parliamentarian already said it cannot be included in the reconciliation bill. how are senate democrats looking at to get some version of a wage increase included in this stimulus package? >> well, they really don't have a pathway at this point. i mean, there was talk of trying to overrule the parliamentarian. they don't seem to have support for that. there

errin, as well. hope to have you guys back soon. >> thank you. >> to continue this conversation. i'm sure it's not going away. >>> one month later. the emotional pleas from the house floor. >> i urge my colleagues to please, please take what happened on january 6th seriously. it will lead to more death, and we can do better. we must do better. >> lawmakers on edge, questioning, actually, their safety, as we learn more about the capitol hill rioters, including 11 suspects with ties to the proud boys, a group canada labeled a terrorist organization. should the u.s. do the same? we're going to put that to our experts, coming up. >>> and tomorrow, representative jim clyburn is going to be joining ali velshi for a live interview. you can watch at 8:00 a.m. eastern right here on msnbc. 8:. eastern righhet re on msnbc. (vo) last year subaru and our retailers donated 50 million meals to feeding america. and yet, one in four children may still face hunger. so, subaru and our retailers are doing it again, donating an additional 100 million meals to help those in need. love. it's never been

errin hains still here.licans are doing and all the grace that president biden is showing him. he made a point it was the best meeting he had so far in five weeks, like the old days. he is reaching out but not giving in to the republicans who seem committed to disinformation and obstruction. >> well, i think it's the frail of reference is really, the country i think was governed between 1933 and 2017 by a kind of ferocious consensus, if you will. it was a figurative conversation between fdr over here and ronald reagan over here. ronald reagan, george w. bush over here, fdr, truman and lbj. everyone else pretty much governed on the same field. i've blown it past president clinton and bush and obama and agree we had a coherent culture we either raised this tax rate or lowered this tax rate, projected force against commonly agreed upon foes and rivals or didn't but it was a coherent conversation. it was like the charlie brown holiday cartoons where the kids make sense to each other but the grown-up goes whomp w

errin, let me go to you now, vice president harris on that exclusive interview over on nbc pushed for approval of the biden covid plan by march 14th. that is the deadline that the administration wants to hit. we were told on this show yesterday by one of the lawmakers working on that bill they feel like it will go next week, be introduced next week. there are some on the left who say the white house isn't moving fast enough, pointing out on this day in 2009 was when then president obama signed the big economic stimulus bill then into law. how do you see the president and the vice president navigating this? >> well, hallie, they were not dealing with an impeachment trial in 2009, certainly there have been other things, other priorities that congress has had to deal with and you can believe it because what is time in the pandemic right now, president biden and vice president harris were sworn in literally a month ago today. so they are still very much trying to it seems like wrap their arms around the pandemic response, but you see them now on the other side of this impeachment trial re

so errin haines is back with me and we're adding jamella misher in, co-director at the cornell centery you and margaret did together. i read it in the post a couple weeks ago and found it quite fascinating. the same way affirmative action programs unfortunately disproportionately benefit white women, i think this is happening on these policies. how are latina and black women disadvantaged now when it comes to the global pandemic and recent economics. >> yeah, let me count the ways. it's hard to even encapsulate it. but i think one of the same sources of disadvantage are really the differential sort of occupation structure that black and latina women face. they're simply working different jobs than many white women are working and working in jobs in the industry like travel industry and service industry, the industries are that suffering most as a result of the pandemic. and so they're experiencing the most sustained job loss and highest unemployment. even while they're facing larger neighborhoods and communities that are experiencing the pandemic most harshly. so the most exposure to

errin, you covered the vice president.s of the senate, the vice president more recently. what role do you think she'll play in encouraging perhaps president biden to support nuking the filibuster or will she bring the progressive caucus along to more of a centrist standpoint? >> tiffany, you know, i'm not want to do a lot of predicting these days in our politics, given how unpredictable everything is. i will say in the month-ish or so you've seen the biden-harris administration begin to take shape, you've seen vice president harris already playing a role in the senate, not just as the tiebreaker but somebody who says she wants to work to build consensus president biden said he wants to bring back to washington, meeting with bipartisan lawmakers not only in congress, but also from across the country, governors, mayors, out to try to garner support for pandemic relief and other priorities as they continue to move forward with their administrative agenda. but look, she certainly is somebody when i interviewed her earlier this

>> errin, two really great points.ade in our "washington post" piece is that black americans need to be prioritized for these vaccinations. there's no doubt about that given the legacy and current state of racism in this country but we need, as you alluded to, trusted messengers. we need people, not just health care professionals of color but trusted messengers in the community. even our even need our vice president to be out there with messaging that's culturally responsive targeting our communities to encourage people to take this vaccine, because the vaccine is going to be really our only way out of this pandemic nightmare. >> i have another question for you. what is the sort of need to innovate on distribution? because it seems like one of the hurdles is that a stadium and a neighborhood that you don't live is really not that accessible for any elderly person. i wonder whether people need to start thinking outside the box of bog door to door, with home health nurses with some refrigeration need to go to door to doo

errin haines, what is your take on how the progressive wing will handle this?, i think that they certainly are wanting to go big, closer to that 1.9 trillion that john was just talking about. look, you know, joe biden, president biden has been talking about equity across government and the pandemic and pandemic relief. but that is not something we have seen happening in these early days, whether we are talking about the vaccine rollout or whether we're talking about how this relief is going to be dolled out. what we know about this country, when we're talking about equity, that is something that does not necessarily happen organically but when folks are intentional about that. so i think, you know, progress if's are certainly saying that the coalition that elected president biden and vice president harris, this is certainly what they voted for. this is what a lot of democrats went out and told voters not just in georgia but told democrats across the country this is what they were going to deliver if, you know, the senate runoffs were delivered, to give them the

>> well, thanks so much for the question, errin. i think that's absolutely right.brown and black folks's pockets does not mean a dollar out of white folks's pockets. the data shows the opposite. i am by no means saying racism, both individual and systemic doesn't hit the target, right? first, the burden is borne by people of color. but it is an illusion and convenient lie to say we can core don the economic and social impacts of discriminatory policies, of environmental in justice as we see in texas, of the kind of withdrawing away, turning our backs on the formula that built the great american middleclass when it was by design and by implementation for whites only. the kinds of policies we're talking about, whether smart public investments in sub say dieding the mortgage market which the federal deposit in the 20th century said we will not subsidize the development in black neighborhoods exclusively. to the things like the g.i. bill. such a smart public investment in the education of our veterans. yet millions of black veterans were locked out of the benefits of t
