chairman, bennie thompson. always great to have you on the show. joining me is congresswoman robin kelly of illinois. she chairs the congress black caucus's health subcommittee. congresswoman, let me get right to it with you. the latest racial breakdown of fully vaccinated people show that while whites are overrepresented compared to their share of the population, everyone else is still lacking behind, with black and hispanic folk trailing the most. is this the best time, based on that, for the new cdc guidelines on masking? >> you know, i think that we just have to double town on making sure that black and brown folks get their vaccinations. last week the congress black caucus had our gotv, get out the vaccines, to try to get more people to get vaccines. it's a little concerning to me. i was out and i'm still wearing my mask, quite frankly. i would encourage people, if they're going to be in an environment with a lot of people, to definitely still wear their masks. but we have to do better and convince people that they have to get their vaccines.

in chairman bennie thompson. they came to gathering up bipartisan way. >> let me follow up on that point. you mentioned, spent? , republican of new york who worked on this bipartisan agreement. the looming question is whether or not the republican leader in the house, kevin mccarthy, will go along with his plan. what are you hearing from your gop collects. >> it is split. last week was on a good week for the republican congress -- conference, because the whole cheney thing makes this worse. they are sort of purging anyone who shows any independence and that is not a good look for the party. politics is about addition, not subtraction. attic republicans make a mistake when they start pushing people out instead of bringing people and. however, i will say is a former hard-core conservative congressman, it is an leader mccarthy's best interest to do this. it really is. go ahead. independently look at this. document this. no form of the changes. then you do not have to be so much on the defense of all the time. part o

i'm joined by the democrat chairman of the house homeland security committee, bennie thompson.ough who is it -- it's a ten person commission, five appointed by republicans, five by democrats. who is eligible to be on the commission and who is not? >> i will make it easy. no sitting member of congress is eligible to participate on the commission. we want to look at law enforcement, civil rights, other individuals who might have an interest in what went on on january 6th. specifically, no member of congress can sit. >> and subpoena power, it is what happens when there's a deadlock on a subpoena, if it's 5-5 or the chairman and vice chairman can't agree? >> it's a shared responsibility. it's a bipartisan commission. i'm anticipating very little challenges with respect to getting access to information. i personally supported the formation of the commission. and i think every other chairperson or agency here in this administration would be amenable to providing whatever information that we deem necessary the commission might need. >> you guys have come to this agreement. this now ge

now we're also hearing from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and the defense minister benny gantz they were speaking in tel aviv saying we can bring you what they said. for the citizens to be. we are amid talks the heavy stuff from corporations the company over your idea of cactus yesterday and super 800 other terror targets of the g. in the hamas in the gather 3 hole in. the circularity. we'll talk to the doing of carries some assumptions in their headquarters. still continue to attract in all from north. korean regime others will be to just finish completely home to heads of our service a lot of some terrible problem elephant gun just on the move if you come from the home of the very funny jihad will have the pride they show aggressive. very bloody on there. we are standing united people who love to believe this moment in rather a. hole of those who got. to convert your people. could always become to you to commit to follow suction ocean pursuits so you only save lives the moment when i tell you one more customer parades and we'll take along the school insemination small c

envoy to the amount is bt israeli defense minister benny gantz to discuss the conflict arrived on friday sent by the u.s. president joe biden in the effort to calm possibilities biden has called for deescalation battin a phone call with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu he expressed strong support for israel's campaign 5 north spoke with palestinian president mahmoud abbas phyllis bennis is a fellow at the institute for policy studies and also author of the book understandingly palestinian israeli conflict and she says the u.s. isn't pressuring israel to stop the attacks and explains why what we know about the conversation between president biden and the israeli prime minister and mahmoud abbas is that he has not called for a cease fire he has not put any pressure on israel to stop the slaughter that's underway in gaza and that this is a very familiar situation in which it appears that the u.s. is taking the lead from israel on when they are ready for a cease fire and netanyahu has made clear he is not ready for a cease fire he said that our aim is to send hemis a message tha

turn and so you saw the response coming from benjamin netanyahu alongside him the defense minister benny gantz and alongside him the internal security services service cheap. as well standing together in saying that that israel would continue what benjamin netanyahu is saying will be an operation lasting for some time and as you say yes there were a considerable number of tractor vehicles tanks armored personnel carriers that we saw being driven past our position here some 5 kilometers away from the northern edge of gaza that does happen pretty regularly when there are these sorts of escalations but this isn't the normal sort of escalation that we've seen in recent years and so once again whether it be a show of force or prepping for something larger there has been military maneuvering in the on the ground here just north of gaza and how are you what about palestinian israeli towns in israel like a lot because we've also seen disturbances there with the prospect of of worrying into communal violence on the streets. it is extremely concerning for the residents of those towns and indeed fo

expect to hear very shortly from both the prime minister benjamin netanyahu and the defense minister benny gantz they're due to speak to the nation at quarter past 10 local time so in about 3 or 4 minutes time the signs are that they're probably going to announce still further escalatory moves in this extremely dangerous and already deadly situation on the israeli side. we have 4 dead according to reports so far drought throughout the course of the day in this latest round. another 16 injured one of them in a critical condition and of course as you were hearing from gaza from stuff what a much higher number of both dead and injured 28 killed in gaza so far it seems that things are set to get worse. so injuries and fatalities there in southern israel but you are saying that areas that are being targeted or that deemed to be at risk people in those areas are evacuating. where are they and moving themselves to. well a lot of israeli residents have safe rooms in their own houses there is an understanding that and into a lot of houses there is one room built that doubles as a bomb shelter a bed

this very program, sitting on this very desk, right, if you watched the program, we had congressman benny thompson of mississippi on the show. thompson is the chair of the committee and he spent months talking with the republican chair of that committee, and they engaged in the classic good faith bipartisan stuff, the kind of stuff that's in the background. he said mccarthy has the receipts. >> kevin mccarthy knew about it. he exchanged letters with us saying he wanted to see certain things, so he was engaged all the time. the republican leadership needs to step up. if we have to produce the letters that the minority leader wrote to us saying, this is what i want in the bill, i mean, we'll do that. >> okay. now mccarthy has decide to do flip the table over. it's honestly more surprising he was ever engaging in good faith because we know what his boss -- his boss in mar-a-lago thinks about the situation, and we know what the rising power of his own party thinks about it. here is gina mccarthy defending the honor of the january 6 insurrectionists. >> while it's catch and release for antifa

we tried to bring benny down. >> jon: yeah. >> stephen: and i'm here to tell you right now for the bennye a bee or wasp and had an anaphylactic reaction, and i never got to see you. we had to race him to an animal hospital. and i want to give a shout-out to the vorhesesp animal clinic and dr. chelsea. we pulled over on the way to the emergency room, and she ran out and injected him with some benadryl and saved his life. thank you, dr. chelsea. he's fine, by the way. he's chewing up everything in siept. there's no stopping him. >> jon: oh, yeah. that's what he does. that's what they do. >> stephen: jon, do you have-- do you have any pink, springtime music, something that matches your-- your cardigan? >> jon: let's see, something of this vibe like... ♪ ♪ ♪ ( laughter ) >> stephen: jon batiste. >> jon: you have to play the other part. >> stephen: you're the heart i'm the soul. or you're the heart-- whatever. jon batiste, everybody. >> ladies and gentlemen, i don't want to jinx it, but it really feels like the tides are turning on this pandemic. the c.d.c. is changing its guidelines, busines

and it's interesting that on the state department list, it describes benny gans says, defense minister, an alternate prime minister. because you remember under the before this latest election, he was supposed to take over as prime minister. that looks unlikely, although i have to say, israelis have made it quite clear over 2 years and for elections, they can't make their mind up and then the to clear who should be governing them. and it's certainly not certain that they won't be another fist general election. that's certainly quite a strong possibility when the 2 men come out to those podiums and hopefully that happens sooner rather than later. james, what is the likelihood that prime minister netanyahu will bring up iran? because i wonder if that is really his. i mean, iran is always his big concern and actually what we're seeing now with regards to why the middle east piece and issues probably wouldn't be being discussed if it went for what just happened in gaza. these readings would far rather talk about iran i've, i've sat when will lead as a travel to new york every september and

france meyer is another hearty specimen who goes winning in the winter he'll be showing benny how to acclimate to the cold water and making sure he stays safe. for the past 4 years france has gone for a swim almost every day whatever the weather. today it's a pleasant 5 degree celsius. perfect conditions for your 1st swim. but they don't just jump straight in to prepare for the icy cold the to do a breathing exercise taking 30 deep breaths without a pause. as the i'm technically pushed off in this breathing technique gives you a bit of a boost to get the adrenaline flowing. to prepare your body for what's about to hit the shock of the cold water. how long will our 1st time a stick it out in the freezing water. we ask. a doctor and specialist in sports medicine what he thinks of their breathing exercises. it makes sense in that it primes your body for a challenge like swimming in icy water it enhanced his blood flow which makes more oxygen available and focuses the mind but there's a risk of hyperventilation causing nausea or dizziness or even a loss of consciousness so it can be dang

bennie thompson and democrats are saying no way.this commission is going to move forward, it needs to be focused. we'll see. i think one of the big wins that a lot of democrats are saying is that the republican who is chairing it in the house is congressman john packo, who voted to impeach trump after the attack on the capitol. we'll see. the biggest issue has been what the scope will be. now that we know it's going to be focused, and that's what leaders are pushing for, at least democratic leaders, they'll be able to move on with that. they want to get a report in by the end of the year. a very quick timeline for what's happening with this sort of thing. but they're going to be trying very hard to focus it on this and subpoenas and other things and documents that relate to it. i think as long as democrats keep leaning into that and insuring in their messaging and also within the walls of congress and the walls of the hearing rooms, they'll be able to find more information to lead them and help them in this investigation. >> all rig

plus, congressman benny thompson on his built to begin the january 6th commission over republicans keeping up the lies about roe v. wade in the supreme court takes up a huge abortion rights case. >> i think the likelihood of roe v. wade being overturned is very minimal. i don't say that happening. >> and as the devastation continues in gaza, why did it take so long for the united states to even discuss a cease-fire? all in starts right now. >> good evening from new york. i'm chris hayes. yesterday, in these united states of america, there were just over 16,000 new cases of covid reported. now, if you've been watching my show for the course of the pandemic, you know it was a sunday -- that still the low reporting day. but that number, 16, 000, is still the lowest daily number since the end of march 2020. when the outbreak was still largely localized in a few areas throughout the country and when crucially, there was basically no real testing infrastructure. remember that? and also, for the first time since the pandemic started, we now have cases that are declining in all 50 states. that's r

congressman bennie thompson, the house homeland security chairman who struck a deal with his republican counterpart for a commission to investigate the capitol riot. it's a major breakthrough but how bipartisan, fair and honest will it be as the gop continues to push the big lie? >>> also my personal conversation with a group of asian-american community leaders amid a terrifying spike in anti-asian violence in this country. you want to hear what they have to say. "velshi" starts now. >>> good morning. it is sunday, may 16th. i'm ali velshi. the worst and deadliest violence in years in the israeli/palestinian conflict continues this morning. overnight the israeli defense forces released this footage of a new strike conducted on the residence of a hamas leader in gaza in addition to tunnel systems in gaza as well. the idf says air strikes hit hamas intelligence headquarters which they say was located adjacent to a kindergarten. the gaza ministry of health reports at least 33 people were killed and multiple buildings destroyed in new air strikes today. doctors without borders also reports

political rival ways that are torn down everybody is saying now is on time for politics we see people like benny gantz he's the head of one of the leading opposition parties he's but he's also the minister of defense he's standing behind attorney now there seem to be united in this effort now so for him politically now is actually somewhat of a quiet front that gives him hope he can still remain state his authority and his leadership soon enough to say that this is a complicated conflict is the on the same and of the courts and we have to leave as a result of thank you very much. well the conflict in the middle east has brought people on to the streets in cities worldwide to protest against the violence here in germany thousands have marched in support of the palestinians. campaigners around the world organized rallies to condemn the violence in the middle east and to commemorate not by the displacement of hundreds of thousands of palestinians when the state of israel was created in 1948 most of saturday's events were peaceful although in berlin police broke up at least one pro palestinian gathe

and we already know that the minister of defense will be benny guns, the head of the blue and white. we know that the finance minister will be and lieberman to lieberman on the other hand, some effort follows that. they still have not decided. so there might be some debate over there. and other question is the support that they are expecting to get from the united. 2 list which is the party of the law make movement. the moderate islamic moment is that they said that they would support this kind of a government in principle, but no one has actually approached them. and they are expecting to have some kind of a dialogue with the parties. they're calling this the government of change. now natalie bennett, on the other hand, is the leader of a hard liner. far right party nathan? yeah, we know is also right wing. so does he represent a change from that? and you know, i mean idea logically he's more right wing he. he was the head of the settler council in the west bank. he's also just this evening made statements and it was very clear that this government will not withdraw from palestinian

and the idea now when we see that also within israeli ranks like people like benny gone, the minister of defense. but also from the american perspective, dia now is to use this opportunity to leverage the situation and bring a long lasting solution that will break that pattern. and this is the attempt, our many size were not yet sure. where nathan, yeah. who stands on that and how capable he will be due to the political configuration and israel to act on that. but that's definitely something that many forces are for, are pushing towards now. and a big player, of course, in these classes and in the history in the region has been the united states. it was a phone call from president biden, to benjamin netanyahu. these really prime minister, which lead within 24 hours to the fees. it was the americans back in the game. but when it comes to international pressure with all due respect to the international community. so these really those only one l matters and that's the americans, partially due to the, the great dependency israel as a, has an american aid and the way that the defense forc

who supports this commission told me this morning that the source said that belief is yes that the bennie thompson comment could have a negative impact on the notion of this being a more bipartisan vote to create this bipartisan commission. and the reason is, you know, it's poking the bear. the bear is, of course, donald trump. now that does not excuse the notion of voting against something that is modelled directly on the 9/11 commission. which was harolded by people on the far left and the far right for doing its job to find out what happened that led to the united states being attacked? it's the same idea h the creation of this commission. what happened in the country? what happened at the capitol? what happened more broadly in washington that led to this unprecedented attack on the united states capitol? and what he said is really, really important. the house has enough votes to pass this. the question now is what happens in the u.s. senate? 50 democrats, they will need 60 votes. that means ten republicans. manu and our colleagues on the hill are doing reporting. sore yishgs the senat

benny thompson negotiated that deal on the january 6 insurrection as chair on the committee, and theessman joins me now. congressman, maybe first you can talk us through what the language of the bill would create in terms of the commission. >> well, chris, thank you for having me. the language would put a 10-member commission together with subpoena power with the sunset on december 31. but they would look at the facts and circumstances that brought about january 6. they have full authority to look at any information, subpoena any witnesses. as you know, congress since january 6 has had quite a few hearings. we knew a lot of information. so their responsibility would be to put that information in a format with recommendations back to congress as to what we can do to fortify the capitol, what we can do to make sure that the public will be safe when they visit the capitol, and by all means, the capitol police and other government employees will be safe there working. so we have quite a bit to put on the commission. i'm excited about it. it took us about four months to get to this point,

on friday you had a deal announced by john katko and benny thompson saying they had struck a deal tos january 6th commission. and katko has been telling his colleagues there is some bwiggl room about what's going to be investigated. the emphasis will be on january 6th but there were some opportunities potntially to explore other areas outside of january 6th and leading up to january 6th. but today you have the top republican saying he actually doesn't support that deal. i want to read to you why he doesn't agree with it. he says given the political misdirections that have marred this process, given the now duplicative and counterproductive nature of this effort and given the speaker's sh shortsighted scope that doesn't investigate interrelated political forms of violence in america, i cannot support this legislation. now there have also been questions in recent days about whether or not mccarthy himself would be asked to testify. of course, we are a long ways from who exactly would be subpoenaed, who would have to testify. this commission would be made up of five republicans and five

representative benny thompson of mississippi joins us now and the chair of the house homeland security committee. congressman, thank you so much for being here. the news, the big news this morning is that you, congressman, reached an agreement for this commission, but house minority leader kevin mccarthy has not signed off on it yet. what happens if he doesn't sign off on this? >> well, i think he will. we have negotiated in good faith since january 6th to get to where we are now. he might not have seen the final document, but to my knowledge, there's nothing in this commission bill that hadn't been vetted by democrats and republicans alike. >> but congressman, let me ask you about how it will work. as i understand it, nancy pelosi and chuck schumer will get to choose five of the commissioners and kevin mccarthy and mitch mcconnell will get to choose five of the commissioners but kevin mccarthy, of course, is a vital part of the chronology of what happened that day on january 6th because he had that pivotal conversation with president trump about trying to call off the mob. so how can

benny thompson, the chairman negotiated with john katko, the republican ranking member of that committee and announced this on friday. i want to talk a little bit about what's going to be on this commission, this 9/11 style commission to investigate the insurrection. the commission would include a ten-member panel with half appointed by democratic congressional leaders including the chair, and half by republicans including the vice chair. the panel would have the power to issue subpoenas if they are signed off by both the chair and vice chair. the chair is going to be a democrat, the voice chair will be a republican. the commission would be tasked with issuing a final report by the end of this year making it a quick time line for the panel to put out its final product. you know, after the agreement was announced on friday, reporters spoke with house minority leader kevin mccarthy to get his take on the deal. he said he was still looking at it, but that is not stopping democrats from putting this to a vote this week. they plan to vote on creating this 9/11 style commission that would inve

benny thompson. i don't know where to start with this but you're up against far greater headwinds than the people that decided there would be a 9/11 commission because there were not members of the house that disagreed 9/11 happened and airplanes flew into buildings and killed our mer cans. there was no disagreement about those facts. today there is no disagreement between the house of representatives. >> there is no question about it. let me tell you, we've been working since january 6th to get to this point. it been difficult. we haven't had the best cooperation trying to get here but we're here so what we're seeing on the screen right now is actually what happened. other people were trying to say otherwise. they will have their opportunity to come before this commission and try to make their case, but we think clearly we have to move forward. what you seen right now, the only other time we've had anything close to this at the nation's capitol was 1814 when it was set on fire. so this insurrection

can you give us a sense what have the prime minister and defense chief of staff benny gantz will have to say later as our correspondent mark stone was reporting? >> obviously hamas in gaza has crossed a whole series of red lines here. we have to remind the viewers, hamas is a brutal terrorist organization, not just israel says so, so do countries across the world, united states, britain, australia, canada, japan. also arab countries in the gulf, all consider hamas a terrorist organization. they are indiscriminating rocketing israel's urban centers, tel aviv, jerusalem. at the same time they are enslaving gaza's arab population, turning them into human shields. hamas is a tragedy for israel but also very much for the people of gaza and palestinians as a whole. >> ambassador, thank you so much for your time. >> thank you for having me, sir. >>> brand-new footage just coming into our newsroom, it is out of gaza city, showing a tower collapsing after being hit by an israeli air strike according to witnesses. it is a troubling scene. we'll continue to follow that story as well. >>> the two

in line with the political statement we heard from print minister netanyahu and e defense minister, bennytz, they think they should continue this operion and they think, thestill have the support of the international community, despite the fact that there is mounting pressure because of whate just heard, the humanitarian situation deteriorating in gaza. brent: we know calls for a cease-fire are growing internationally. what can you tell us about the medic efforts underway? is it working at all in israel? >> wl, there are still conflicting reports. we have nothing really for sure we can tell you. we know conversations are ongoing. we understand from reports that u.n. -- that the.n. special envoy is tking to both sides. egypt is involved in this, as they have done in previous runs of hostility. but at the moment, there's no tangible idea. there are serious talks about proposals that might be on the table, and whether both sides are prepared to go for a cease-fire anytime soon. brent: the latest tonight in jerusalem. tanya, thank you. dw spoke today with israel's ambassador to germany. we as

if you watch the program we had congressman benny thompson of mississippi on the show. he's the chair of the homeland security committee and he spent four months negotiating with a ranking matter of that committee who is john tackle of new york. he told me that the two of them negotiated to reach a bipartisan deal on this january six inquiry. they engaged in a lot of good faith by partisan congressional work, the kind of stuff they used to happen a fair amount still happens that's kind of in the background of congress. and congressman thompson said kevin mccarthy was part of the negotiations and he has the receipts. >> kevin mccarthy, he knew about it. he exchanged letters with us saying he wanted to see certain things, so he was engaged all the time. republican leadership needs to step up. if we have to produce the letters that the minority leader wrote to us saying that this is what i want in the deal than will do that. >> okay. now, mccarthy has decided to flip the table over. it's more surprising he was ever engaging in good faith because we know what his boss, his

bennie thompson will join me here tomorrow morning. there's a lot to discuss with chairman thompson including the active duty officer in the united states marines who was just arrested and charged for his role in the u.s. capitol attack including for allegedly assaulting police, obstruction and unlawful entry. new court filings reveal that the violet racist extremist group, proud boys, created a smaller group they call the ministry of self-defense which was tasked with planning and carrying out the group's activities at the capitol on january 6th. but according to the latest lies from the gop, those activities were the actions of peaceful tourists. >> it was trump supporters who lost their lives that day, not trump supporters who were taking the lives of others. >> my constituents demand answer. the truth is being censored and covered up. the dodge is harassing peaceful patriots across the country. >> so, was january 6th an insurrection or could it be more described as a mob of misfits. >> there was no insurrection, to call it an insur

but as you noted, due to the house homeland security chairman and ranking member, that's democrat bennie paco, they're now putting forward this proposal they say will be a true bipartisan, independent, 9/11-style commission to investigate the deadly capitol riot we saw took place on january 6. what they're saying that this commission is going to do are a few key things. they're saying it's truly bipartisan, ten members, five per party, that they will have subpoena power if both sides agree, and they'll be authorized to investigate the events of january 6 and the immediate effects of what led up to it. they're also going to be issuing a final report that will be due by the end of this year. this also comes as house minority leader kevin mccarthy says he didn't sign off on it even though he had authorized paco to negotiate with bennie thompson. >> we have to do better. we are a better country than this. and this commission is one of those ways to show how we can improve who we are as americans. it's a great democracy. but it's sometimes fragile. this commission, we believe, will get us bac
