. >> joining me now is democratic congressman jim clyburn of south carolina, the majority whip and the chair of the house select committee on the coronavirus crisis. good to see you. good morning. i want to talk about this topic that i've been sort of on all morning and going to be on for the rest of the morning and it is about voting rights. we have an effort in the united states congress to pass a bill that is sitting before the senate, a couple of bills actually that would expand voting rights and protect sp people in the states from some of the things going on right now in georgia and arizona and will spread very quickly to michigan and pennsylvania and other states. what is your take on how -- how we could get legislation through the senate that protects american voters? >> well first of all, thank you very much for having me this morning. look, i think that hr-1 is very, very clear, it is been sent to the senate, senate has now presented it as s-1 and i have met with various senators including senator manchin and i said time and time again that hr-4 is a -- and since there are 47

jim clyburn served in the highest echelons of leadership on the democrat side for decades.arrested because he is black. he was put in jail because he is black. he met his wife in jail because they were both black. he's the father of women of color. i think i i'd be careful talking about relentlessly policing women of color when it comes to jim clyburn. look c at to battle a minute but for now, i want to bring congressman jim something more important than today politics. juneteenth was yesterday, the sentiment, it's a federal holiday. it passed the house overwhelmingly but not unanimously. welcome, what were your thoughts and emotions went juneteenth became a federal holiday? >> thank you very much for having me on your program, always great to spend time with you, especially father's day. i met your daughter some time ago, i have three women of color who call me dad and i just finished having a meal with them and for the last several days, we talk about this. when i talk about juneteenth, i think about the issue of communicating. people communicating with each other. a lot

joining me now, congressman jim clyburn of south carolina, also house majority whip. congressman, some 465 americans have been arrested for participation in the january 6 insurrection. among them six members of the right wing, 3%ers, a group charged with conspiracy this past week as the justice department says it expects at least 550 people will ultimately be charged. i emphasize the scale of the doj investigation because congress investigated the september 11 attack, the oklahoma city bombing, and, of course, the attack on the u.s. embassy in benghazi. but when it comes to the justice department has called the more complex investigation it has ever prosecuted, your republican colleagues say that we need to move on, literally, nothing to see here. and so they blocked the democrat bill on the floor for the first time this year all to kill the commission. your response, congressman, and is it time for a select committee, no matter how partisan it may be or appears to be to the gop? >> thank you very much for having me, reverend. i think there are a couple things that ar

. >> i spoke to jim clyburn earlier this morning and he said we should simply accept, if we don't get rid of the filibuster for everything, we have the reconciliation for things coming with money, when it comes to right to vote we should agree that 50 votes in the senate is appropriate. >> i start with the position it is time for us to eliminate the filibuster as a vestige of jim crow. short of that, perhaps we can think about certain kinds of bills such as those that protect our constitutional right. but you know there will be a huge debate as to what bill really addresses constitutional rights and what bills don't. so to me the way to proceed is to eliminate the filibuster. but we have to do what we can because reconciliation is not going to be available to do all of the other things that we would like to do, although in this instance we still have, i think, two more reconciliation processes that we can use. >> what do you think happens now? it looks like that you may actually have enough of your republican colleagues ready to come over on the jobs act and the families act, you know

here's what congressman jim clyburn had to say about where this moves forward. clyb>> voting rights, like all other constitutional rights, ought not to be subjected to filibusters. this reduces from 60 to 55, that don't get it for me. one gets it for me is to remove the filibuster from constitutional issues, as we've done for the budget. >> as carson grossman clyburn there details, renewing political pressure on the filibuster. that 60 vote threshold. because this legislation being so vital in the view of democrats, there still aren't those at least ten republican senators to support. but keep in mind, when it comes to reforming the filibuster, whether it's making changes or abolishing it completely, not all democrats are on board, including senator joe manchin. so that's not looking like a lightly option. especially as this inches swords of on tuesday. candice inquiry? >> amanda golden there and lauren egan starting us off. thank you both. really appreciated. let's dig deeper right now on all of this with democratic congressman -- of new york. cosponsor, by the

republicans wanted to investigate this blatant lies but some democrats like jim clyburn are trying toa congressional probe into the origins of covid-19. joining us, congressman devin nunes. i'm shocked that one of your colleagues, a member of congress, representing a country that lost 600,000 americans is going to block an investigation into the origins of covid-19 in china. is that sustainable, congressman? >> thanks for having me. this is something the house republicans on the house intelligence committee had been investigating. we broke this three weeks ago. so a lot of the stories you are seeing written were in a report we put out. we have a lot of informant. we believe intelligence was buried. and our investigation will continue. the democrats will try to cover this up because they corrupted every institution in this country, including now, something i thought could never be corrupt, which is the cdc. centers for disease control. only they would destroy the american people's confidence. it appears it was politicized. the child east were directly responsible for this madness, for

it took charge and worked with whip jim clyburn, congressional black caucus chair joyce beatty, chair benny thompson, congresswoman barbara lee, congressman g.k. butterfield, whom we just heard from, and you, madam chair, you and others for your leadership. this action builds on action taken last juneteenth when using my authority as house speaker, i ordered the removal of four portraits of past speakers from the capitol who trait ousley served -- traitor ousley served among the confederacy. among those we are addressing today are jefferson davis and alexander stevens, president and vice president of the confederacy. respectfully, both of whom were charged with treason against america. this legislation also removes from the old supreme court chamber in the capitol the bust of justice roger taney, a defender of slavery and author of the 1857 dread scott ruling, one of the most horrific stains on our nation and our court's history. mr. hoyer has been particularly in removing justice taney. removing these statues will not erase the stain and that of other racist acts in our history, nor

speaker pelosi, as well as jim clyburn, it's true, they are a few years older than i am, one or two, you would not know it by their energy level and acumen. so, i do not -- i'm in no rush based on age. there are however -- are, however, many leaders in our caucus. they may not have a very visible roles, but they play in important job. i will not get into one or two of them because i mention four or five, i will annoy other friends of mine. but i am confident that the house democratic caucus chair will be strong regardless. host: we have a republican out of florida, good morning. caller: good morning. a couple of questions. the first is, i would like the congressman to answer whether we saw bipartisanship the last four years of the trump administration or did we just see russia stories, ukrainian stories, all kinds of stories where they investigated and investigated, but yet i do not see you the former president being charged with anything? now, the congressman can explain why you have people dying in the streets of new york, but the new york state attorney general is investigating do

. >>> i want to go to jim clyburn from south carolina and the white house majority whip. with this, congressman. vice president kamala harris in guatemala saying if you come, i believe you will be turned away. do not come, do not come. what's kryour reaction to vice president kamala harris' clear message to illegal immigration? >> thank you for having me. i do not spend a lot of time studying and i try not to speak on things that i have not researched with. i do not know what's going on in the strip. i do know this, the american people are very concerned about our humanitarian issues but also concerned about securing the border and i think what she's doing is trying to carry out both of those issues in a way that the american people will find satisfactory. >> i have no idea of what goes into that. >> i think it is refreshing to hear someone pspeaking on the part they know about. do you think is right for ocasio-cortez to come out right out to criticize harris trying to say that people come to the border is 100% legal and criticizing her for what she said in guatemala. >>

yesterday we heard jim clyburn say that while the negotiations are ongoing, a decision needs to be madeoon. alix: thank you very much. g7 finance ministers are meeting in london today. janet yellen is on the agenda. here is the opening of the meeting. >> it is clear that this is a complex global digital economy and we cannot continue to rely on a tech system that was designed from the 1920's. alix: more now from david goodman. what can we expect today in the negotiations? [indiscernible] david: the debate -- pushed into [indiscernible] at the moment the europeans are more optimistic's about the prospects of the deal. they have been focused on this july meeting. alix: thank you. we are looking forward to more of the headlines. david goodman joining us. let's get to the markets. ritika is looking at the markets. ritika: look at this, you still have the massive rally from yesterday, not for nothing. he saw the market taking some massive heat and speaks to the idea that maybe this is all about the fed. you have this extra stimulus and the market and the reopening market. it is all about the

caller: earlier you had jim clyburn trying to teach us history from dixiecrat stuff.hat covid-19 was a chance we should not lose to forward our agenda and part of the agenda is to use the judges and governors to change state election laws that they did not have the jurisdiction to do. all of this is part of a large movement to eliminate states as an earlier caller mentioned. i wanted to ask mr. sarbanes, do we have a big problem. we heard a lot about disenfranchised voters who could not get photo id in order to vote when photo idea -- photo idea -- id is required for food stamps and medicaid, and yet, how could the use of photo id be racist, explain that to me and why is it still required for food stamps and medicaid? caller: so, in terms of photo id , most people are going to have the id required when they snap -- when they show up. there might be some individuals that have issues accessing a photo id prior to their ability to get into the polls and cast their vote, and we want to make sure that there is an alternative opportunity or method by which they could cast t

house majority whip jim clyburn at 4:00 to new york -- at 12:00 new york, 5:00 in london.loomberg. alix: live from new york i am alix steel. shares following in their debut on the nicely. -- on the new york stock exchange. the company focuses on global health and conditions that impact women. give me the lowdown on the company and the growth potential. emma: organon is a spinoff from merck and when you look at the products it is more than 60 medications and across is not just women's health but these cheaper biologic drugs as well as drugs, legacy products merck had that no longer has patent pretension serve there are not as profitable. the pitch is these are not prioritized at merck and at organon can be prioritized more. about 80% of the company will be outside of the u.s.. they are also saying the growth will come from the women's health business. they have already made acquisition and have plans to do more deals. alix: good set up. emma court, thank you very much. organon ceo joins me. these are always good to get under your belt. let's get into it where emma left off.

. >> i want to play something that jim clyburn, who is not in the senate so he doesn't get to vote or have a key voice on filibuster, but because he is a member of the house leadership, what he has been saying about it is quite interesting. i'm going to play what he said. >> i have never asked that the filibuster be eliminated. i do believe we ought to do it for constitutional issues what we've done with the budget. we ought to use reconciliation, demand democratic principles and move forward with our pursuit of a more perfect union. >> this is note worthy. this is where the conversation is happening now. the voting rights bill, hr-1, s-1, they're dead right now. do you think those kinds of conversations, getting out, having kamala harris do what she was assigned to do, which is go and get public support, is going to have any effect on joe manchin, kiryrsten sinema sayin we're not going to get rid of the filibuster no matter what? >> it's hard for me to believe it would. we started talking about infrastructure. that's connected to this. i believe, talking to sources, that is why presi

changing the filibuster to focus on bills like civil rights and voting rights, which is the stance of jim clyburn. so it's a big question mark about whether or not president biden will be using political capitol on this bill. joe manchin has been vocal about the fact that he wants to keep the filibuster. but when you see the gop efforts around the country, the pressure keeps mounting because of these state bills. >> we're seeing live pictures of president joe biden touring the greenwood cultural center. we'll keep an eye of that and bring you any remarks he makes during that tour. a year ago today, you were in lafayette square as it was cleared by police. despite claims by police that tear gas was not used, an attorney for the police department says that tear gas was used, and further said it was justified because of the curfew and other reasons. your reaction to this about-face from the police department? >> i think it's notable that they point to the chaos and confusion of previous nights, because that was not the case on that day. it was a decision by police to remove protesters that created t

yesterday, we had jim clyburn on bloomberg surveillance and he said negotiations are ongoing, but weeed to figure out how to move at some point soon. if republicans are cooperate, we need to go ahead and democrats need to get it done by themselves. taylor: there is this intel that we were seeing that there is no amount of taxes that can fund the deficit that we are accruing at this moment. at some point, you have to bring in the private sector. is there any discussion of pulling in the private sector? emily: we have seen discussions about public-private partnerships as potentially being a part of this deal. that depends on exactly how much this infrastructure negotiation comes due. right now republicans have proposed a little more than $900 billion and the two things the white house is highlighting during the irs as well as the 15% minimum corporate rate, those things provide more than $900 billion in funding. the question for this infrastructure package specifically, can they get to something that pays for the package entirely, and if they cannot, are they comfortable passing a pack

. >> you would see the democratic attack dogs, maxine waters, jim clyburn and any one the white liberalsl go out and send out to attack donald trump 24/7. you would see massive protests at the white house if donald trump or his kids were accused of what hunter biden said. you're right, i was a civil rights attorney, i'm still a civil rights attorney. i support donald trump. donald trump is not a racist. the racists are the people on the left and you know, why did i leave the democratic party? because joe biden imperial wizard said if you don't vote for me, you ain't black. the most important almanac insulting thing he saidto black. we are free thinkers, the republican party allows free thinking. final point, jim acosta, you're not a lawyer. the lawsuit of black lives matter regarding lafayette square, that case is going to be dismissed for jim acosta, the left-wing media owes donald trump an apology for accusing him of clearing out lafayette square. it is a live. >> sean: i just can't believe, as i look at this, why do you think they don't cover it, because it is joe biden. how does joe

two house democrats called manchin out, including congressman jim clyburn. take a listen. >> please, mr. manchin, vote to limit debate so we can set a date and have an up or down vote on whether or not we are going to have a continuation of voting rights in this country. ? . >> now we have the opportunity to actually do something about it, and senator manchin would rather uphold jim crow. >> where do democrats go from here? >> honestly, alicia, the deck is stacked against democrats right now. we have these voter suppression bills happening in states across the country. then someone like manchin, a democrat, going out and making this hard-line against the for the people act, which we all know is the cornerstone our democracy. every person deserves to have their vote counted and the decision of the election upheld. that's as clear as it can be. i agree with jamie harrison that manchin is dead wrong. what democrats need to focus on now is communicating that to voters, keeping this drum beat going, while manchin may not yield to the pressure within the democrati

jim clyburn was on this morning. i believe we may have the sound bite.ere is what he said. if you go back through history and i hate to go there this early you but the 15th was passed by one party. the 15th amendment gave the right to vote to former slaves. for me one party has on one occasion saved this country from itself. clearly, telegraphing here to joe manchin what other options do democrats have beyond him deciding to go against his vow to keep the filibuster at this particular time. >> yeah. boris. the pressure is on senator manchin at this point because he has put his name and his backing behind a specific vet of voting proposals and has gotten the cold showered from republicans. they have not said let's meet at the table and discuss some of these voting proposals. you heard senate minority leader mitch mcconnell say this is proposal is a nonstarter even though it came from one of the most conservative democrat in the senate. he is going to face additional pressure to hear from other democrats that have said republicans are not going to work wit

. >> latasha, here's what congressman jim clyburn said earlier this morning about manchin's proposal.a listen. >> i said the morning of the release that i thought it was a great step in the right direction. i do believe, however, that voting rights, like all other constitutional rights, ought not to be subjected to filibusters. this reduces from 60 to 55, let them get it from me. what gets it from me is to remove the filibuster from constitutional issues as we have done for the budget because i do believe that this very, very important for us to do that. >> latasha, i appreciate that the filibuster can be a very wonky issue for people and yet it ties back to absolutely everything that we've been talking about. as you are on the road, as you are trying to activate votersers is this a part of your message? >> absolutely. you know, most people may not know that in 1963 as part of the march on washington one of the pieces they were calling for was the end of the filibuster because the filibuster is also been used to actually stop -- it was created to stop civil rights legislation. so we n

and we have sound from jim clyburn earlier coming from his view. take a listen. >> forget about. change the rules if you will coming to constitutional issues. if you want to filibuster issues of legislation, those are not constitutional issues. filibuster them all you want. coming to my right to vote, as a citizen of the united states, you ought not to be subjected to filibuster of any one person. >> reporter: as he is not tiptoeing around this. there's increased pressure of the filibuster with the threshold needed to pass through the senate. whether to make reforms for vital packages like voting rights through and democrats' view and not enough senators on board to issue -- to come to the idea whether or not to make changes to or abolish the filibuster at this time. yasmin? >> if they can't get it through on a federal level it seems that the responsibility will fall on the department of justice to challenge some of these restrictions putt in place. thank you, amanda. >>> for the first time ever americans are commemorating the newest federal holiday today, juneteenth. celebration

we remember that moment when jim clyburn endorsed biden.the path toward the name nation. look what happened after south carolina. look at this map. all these blue states, biden won. why not my home state of south carolina? why shouldn't south carolina be first? >> there's a good argument for south carolina going first as well, craig. i would say that south carolina does have a little bit of an advantage. the chair of the dnc is from south carolina and ran for that senate seat in the last cycle. maybe they have an insider there who might tip the scales. it's not up to him. it's up to the national party. i think that there is an argument for south carolina. definitely not a state where you have 88% white voters. that's not the democratic party, that's not representative of the present or future of the democratic party. >> as far as what iowans seem to think about that, i want to read party of a statement from the democratic chairman. iowa going first does not take away from other states' abilities to hold primaries. it adds to the conversatio

congressman jim clyburn reacting telling my colleague ali velshi, in a renewed push for the george floydg bill. >> statues are great. they are symbolic, but what would be greater is having the george floyd justice information act. let's sit down around the table and let's reach a compromise. >> meantime, the white house is celebrating a major milestone. the u.s. administering over 300 million covid shots across the last 150 days. the administration, though, still well short of its goal to have 70% of adults with at least one dose of vaccine by july 4th, but president biden says his efforts won't stop there as the dangerous delta variant is spreading in several states. >> deaths and hospitalizations are drastically down in places where people are getting vaccinated and unfortunately, cases and hospitalizations are not going down in many places in the lower vaccination rate states. they're actually going up in some places. the new variant will leave unvaccinated people more vulnerable than they are a month ago, or a month ago. >> and on capitol hill, a glimmer of hope on the horizon as bip

he's been pushed by some members including jim clyburn. will they add bennie thompson?have subpoena power. and there is no time frame for which this will end. this does not specify an end date. also it would allow for interim reports to come out for as much as this committee would actually see as necessary. now, this still has to go through the formal process, has to be approved by the house, which it will be later this week. at that point they will move forward. republicans in the senate blocked that outside commission bill. that had ten commissioners who will not have been members of congress but would've been selected evenly by both sides. pelosi says democrats have been blocked, this will be democratic led and democratic subpoena power and they can push this investigation as far as they want. so expect this investigation to start to move once the house formally approves it later this week. >> thank you. >>> more on our politics lead. in an interview with abc news', former attorney general bill barr recounts his breakup with bill barr. he wants people to know the who

speaking on msnbc earlier, jim clyburn says republicans isn't be able to block this type of legislationoting rights, like all other constitutional rights are not subjected to filibusters and now this reducing from 60 from 55, they didn't get it from me. what gets it from me to remove the filibuster from constitutional issues as we have done for the budget because i do believe that it is very, very important for us to do that. >> also, infrastructure talks to capitol hill. a $1 trillion package is getting support from both sides and democrats are considering a $6 trillion bill without support from republicans. ben cardin telling me last hour it doesn't have to be one or the other. >> a lot of what's in this compromise, what's in it is fine, but it doesn't go far enough. so i hope that we can find a bipartisan pay it forward to pass infrastructure, but it needs to be accompanied by a bill that would fill in the gaps that would -- which is not included in the compromise bill. >> and across the country today, americans are celebrating juneteenth for the very first time as an official federa

right rally, and also the revival of his candidacy when in south carolina in the primary, you had jim clyburnp forward, rally the black base of the democratic party not just in south carolina but really throughout the nation and swept him both to the nomination and into the white house. so this is something he had to do. this is something he needs to do. go forward and speak truthfully about it. and there are a lot of different laws. the open housing laws. the fair housing laws. the community reinvestment act where we tried to undo so much of the damage that has been done over the last couple generations. for him to sort of step forward and say he wants to continue in that tradition is in some ways a kind of political reparation of a kind that a president can do. these much larger questions about what we do about race in this country, you know, we have to deal with it a bit at a time. today i think we'll see a step in that direction. >> you make us smarter. i appreciate you coming on this morning. >> thanks, john. >> brianna? >> definitely much smarterly say. >>> president biden tapped vice p

listen to what jim clyburn had to say today. >> i don't know if i'm smarter than senator manchin but i'm smart enough to know the difference between an up or down vote and a filibuster. and what he's doing is continuing to filibuster the vote and the debate rather than the allow schumer to limit debate and set a date. and that's what we're trying to do. please, mr. manchin, vote to limit debate so we can set a date and have an up or down vote on whether or not we are going to have a continuation of voting rights in this country. >> reporter: so with senator manchin a know on s. 1 in his op-ed, he's defending his position on not changing or eliminating the filibuster, as many senate democrats are feeling more and more frustrated with what they say is antiquated rules of the filibuster that are blocking potential policies especially when it comes to president biden's infrastructure bill. manchin is not budging on his stances here, alex. >> we'll see when he gets face-to-face with people and see what they say to him. i know you'll report on it, thank you, amanda. >>> coming up, they are

jim clyburn is slamming senator man chin for saying he won't support this legislation. >> filibuster it comes to constitutional rights. voting rights are basically constitutional rights. the filibuster even in tradition, extend debate on legislative question. for the people act, sure. if you want to vote against it, then vote against it. but if you voting to keep me or anybody else from voting for it, that's the problem. and that's what joe manchin is doing here. >> right. >> one vote against the for the people act and that's fine. but what he's doing now is aiding and abetting a process that keeps democratic principles from taking place. >> pretty strong words there. other democrats speaking out against manchin include congressman jamal bowman compares the west virginia democrat to the senate's republican leader. >> joe manchin has become the new mitch mcconnell. mitch mcconnell during obama's presidency said he would do everything in his power to stop obama. and now joe manchin is doing everything in his power to stop democracy and to stop our work for the people, the work that the

of some sort of change to the filibuster when it comes to voting rights and civil rights, like jim clyburn backed that issue. and the president said ad of now, he does not change that. the big issue, joe manchin isn't changing his mind. today at the white house, we saw the white house press secretary trying to massage the relationship between the president who is facing pressure, and the democrats, kristen sinema and joe manchin. you heard the president say i have two friends that vote more with republicans than the democrats. after a fact check, that's not true. but there is this feeling in the white house, the white house press secretary said this wasn't meant as a criticism. but of course, that was the president airing his frustration when it comes to what he can get done. >> is there a worry that this could come back to bite the democrat it is they don't get the voting rights act past before midterms? >> it's critical. when you talk to democrats in the states and activists, not only republicans trying to get at changing the democracy and the way that voting happens, it impacts whether

. >> jim clyburn got powell to biff his own definition of maximum employment, which powell said was broughtnd clouinclus. he repeatedly argued it is transitory and a return to 1970s-style inflation is very, very unlikely. back over to you. >> interestingly, we did see the dollar sell-off. either way, do you think that bounce has been gone at least the next three, four, five months. >> we do know it doesn't really change the trend it looks like a double bottom in the chart, but it didn't turn things positive to where you would say things had changed i don't know what about the next three months will say, but i do think that the fed is not going to be anticipatory and proactive. whether that means things get better or the average inflation we're running at gets to a point where they feel if taper has to be pulled in later this year, as we did here, a fed president, maybe that's the case, but i don't think powell gave you any reason here to think that hi thinking is much different than last week. >> greg, how much do you base your view of the market on what the fed is or is not doing and sayin

i sign senator tina smith, senator ed markey, senator raphael warnock, senator john cornyn with jim clyburnra lee, representative danny davis, chair joyce beaty, and sheila jackson lee and miss opal. you should have my chair all right. >> thank you i've got three more. >> did anybody else -- oh, i'm sorry, man thank you, man. >> thank you >> all right >> president joe biden signing into law the 12th federal holiday of juneteenth, marking the end of slavery in texas and in america, what he called a really, really, really important moment in history and he also said it is one of the greatest honors he will have as president. but he wishes his grandchildren were there the last time we had a federal holiday established in this country, martin luther king jr. day, that was back in 1983 so what's going to happen now is that federal employees will get the friday off because juneteenth this year falls on a saturday i think next year it's on a sunday and companies, a number of them, have already been giving their employees off. i know nike, adidas, google, twitter, have already given their employees

it took charge and worked with whip jim clyburn, congressional black caucus chair joyce beatty, chair benny thompson, congresswoman barbara lee, congressman g.k. butterfield, whom we just heard from, and you, madam chair, you and others for your leadership. this action builds on action taken last juneteenth when using my authority as house speaker, i ordered the removal of four portraits of past speakers from the capitol who trait ousley served -- traitor ousley served among the confederacy. among those we are addressing today are jefferson davis and alexander stevens, president and vice president of the confederacy. respectfully, both of whom were charged with treason against america. this legislation also removes from the old supreme court chamber in the capitol the bust of justice roger taney, a defender of slavery and author of the 1857 dread scott ruling, one of the most horrific stains on our nation and our court's history. mr. hoyer has been particularly in removing justice taney. removing these statues will not erase the stain and that of other racist acts in our history, nor

jim clyburn suggesting he is more interested in looking forward rather than backward. i don't know how much momentum. >> gillian: you can't go forward until you deal with what happened a year and a half ago. >> bill: countless questions still out there that have yet to be determined. this thing is changing the way we'll live for a long time now. 14 past. rolling on. a company linked to the president's son said to be at the center of a justice department investigation. what is raising a red flag this morning on all that coming up. plus this. what's out there? >> oh my gosh, wow, look at that. >> gillian: the moment people have been waiting for for decades. what we are learning about the upcoming pentagon report coming up next. >> bill: tip of the iceberg, right? the u.s. dealing with a rise in violent crime, alexandria ocasio-cortez has a new proposal. her solution on keeping our prison population down. what do you think of that? come on back. voiceover: riders. wanderers on the road of life. the journey is why they ride. when the road is all you need, there is no desti

congressman jim clyburn reacting telling my colleague ali velshi,

your colleague, house majority whip jim clyburn was on.ad to say about the for the people act. >> please, mr. manchinnen, vote to limit so we can set a date and have an up or down vote on whether or not we are going to have a continuation of voting rights in this country. >> of course, mr. manchin is senator joe manchin of west virginia who in an op-ed is writing about why he won't vote for the people act. your reaction. >> yeah, majority whip clyburn is right on as he normally is. i will go further and say we need to pass hr-4, the restore the voting act. the john lewis act. i want you to look around the country including in texas where these republican control legislatures are trying to get these anti-voting bill passed and trying to get them passed before we can get hr-4 passed because they know these can stay the law indefinitely. while we're sitting around having the discussions about whether or not we're going to get rid of the filibuster or curtail it, mitch mcconnell doing everything he can to get rid of african-american voters, hi

thank you very much for spending time with us, congressman jim clyburn.portant to hear from you today. >>> still to come for us, vice president kamala harris giving her foreign policy credentials a boost today in guatemala right now and will head to mexico tonight. president biden also heading out on his first international trip this week. what's at stake for both of them as the world turns the page from the last four years. that story is next. oh! don't burn down the duplex. terminix. >>> i want to emphasize that the goal of our work is to help guatemalans find help at home. at the same time i want to be clear to folks in this region who are thinking about making that dangerous trek to the united states/mexico border. do not come. we as one of our priorities will discourage illegal migration. and i believe if you come to our border you will be turned back. >> that was vice president kamala harris in guatemala today on the first overseas trip as vice president meeting with the guatemalan president, tackling migration and corruption, outlining the strategy

meanwhile, the chairman of the committee representative jim clyburn plans to focus on the facilitiesn his testimony, powell does acknowledge that low wage service workers blacks and hispanics are hardest hit. powell said that he does expect job gains broadly to pick up as vaccinations rise. guys, he said the risk to the economy are really the same as the risk to public health. slow in vaccinations and new strains of the virus back over to you >> it will be fascinating to see what he says in relation to jim bullard says we were talking earlier in the program about when you hear somebody that is -- that's a member speak publicly, how coordinated you think those comments are with the official position that jay powell may have what do you think? >> i think bullard has mind of his own and likes to go his own way at times i think it is intentional that powell did not mention either tapering or rate hikes in his written testimony at least i do know that chairman clyburn does intend to ask chair powell about reducing assets. the pressure you're going to see is not removing sporupport for e e

speaker pelosi, as well as jim clyburn, it's true, they are a few years older than i am, one or two,ould not know it by their energy level and acumen. so, i do not -- i'm in no rush based on age. there are however -- are, however, many leaders in our caucus. they may not have a very visible roles, but they play in important job. i will not get into one or two of them because i mention four or five, i will annoy other friends of mine. but i am confident that the house democratic caucus chair will be strong regardless. host: we have a republican out of florida, good morning. caller: good morning. a couple of questions. the first is, i would like the congressman to answer whether we saw bipartisanship the last four years of the trump administration or did we just see russia stories, ukrainian stories, all kinds of stories where they investigated and investigated, but yet i do not see you the former president being charged with anything? now, the congressman can explain why you have people dying in the streets of new york, but the new york state attorney general is investigating donald t
