he and i worked on this for close to a decade now, and senator booker. then we'll be joined last by senator warnock, who's only been in the senate for a year, not even -- done so much for the state of georgia and is one of the best supporters of this in the united states senate. i will reserve my comments for a little bit later. senator bennet first. mr. bennet: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from colorado. mr. bennet: thank you, mr. president. i want to thank my colleague from ohio, senator brown, for his remarkable leadership getting us to to this point with the child tax credit and the earned tax credit for childless families. i think we're here today on a really, really momentous matter. when i think back, mr. president, to the days when i was a superintendent of schools in denver, and most of the kids in my city were kids of color and most were living in poverty and many of their families were working two and three jobs, and no matter what they did, they couldn't get their kids out of poverty. today, now i've traveled the state of

senator booker and i joined my friend to talk about this senator booker with the leadership the mostmportant thing in done in my eiyears in public office with the child tax credit and to get across the finish line sorry for the sports metaphor but how important this is that but raising children is work at least one of my colleagues side of the aisle said something about a work requirement of the child tax credit and i don't understand that i see how hard my daughter's work raising children and our son works raising children and then to release the anxiety how i get money to pay the rent before the end of the month so don't get evicted. and then r just the opportunity and then to talk about the child tax parents check their bank accounts one week ago today to put money directly into the pockets of the families of most ohio parents and they are getting these dollars either direct deposit in their account are in their mailboxes. starting july 15 and august 15 and september 15 and then to make sure this goes beyond the end of the year. we will succeedo. in doing that. you know how hard y

there's cory booker.ct now, given up on negotiations with tim scott, saying he will not give up. for those of you who don't want to give up, what's your next move? >> i agree with him 100%. i will not give up either. i have been fighting for police reform for many, many years. what we have decided to do is to call on the biden administration and to ask them to use all of the powers at their disposal to continue to move the needle forward. and so, we have to continue and the legislative side and continue to try to put at least minimum reforms into law. but the bottom line was we just couldn't seem to get senator scott to yes. now, granted there were a lot of pressure from outside forces. but i think the other thing is we might have missed our moment. i think our best moment was when there were 10s of thousands of people on the street in every state in our country and many countries around the world demanding the change takes place. but you know lawrence, the senate kind of moves a little slow. and i think

new jersey for cory booker.be taking and moving in these directions. >> you know, you raise a really important point, lawrence. because even though we may not have succeeded on a national level, we have seen reforms take place all around the country. many states, cities and counties -- certainly, in my state of california, we have been moving the needle forward on police reform for a long time. in los angeles, the police, even though there are issues that police have to work on, they certainly participated on a national level, in terms of calling for some of the reforms we were working for, to take place. so it is different situations in every location. but i think that the movement that we saw last year, absolutely had many successes, all around the country. and i think that that will continue. just because things stall on a federal level, that doesn't mean that change at a local and state level does not take place. >> i know there has been some reporting about your possible considering running for mayor of los

senator booker: so that's what gets me. is if you value life, you're creating an environment where you're putting lives at more risk than other alternatives that are empowering individuals. i recently spent time doing research what women are listing, who terminate a pregnancy, what reasons they're listing. one of them -- depending on the study -- the fact that women are more likely 400 times plunging into poverty. is there legislation coming out of the republican majority to help economically empower women of birthing age who choose to have children or improve the childcare system, foster care system, or anything like that? rep. howard: we have continued to underfund all of the things that you mentioned. and absolutely, to your point, valuing life means valuing the lives of the women who are asked to carry these pregnancies. senator booker: so poverty, health care, the kind of health care that shows you from doula care to access to family planning, those things are not being invested in, those things are not being valued. w

senator booker saying democrats are done negotiating.e done he says and it is now time to explore all other options. remember those talks got started this year in large part after the murder of george floyd last year. we just got this statement from senator tim scott who remember was the lead republican negotiator. he said quote after months of making progress i am deeply disappointed that democrats squandered a crucial opportunity to implement meaningful reform. i want to bring in cousin to george floyd. good afternoon and thank you so much for being back on the show. >> good afternoon. thank you for having me. >> let me just start with your reaction. these talks officially ending when it comes to potential police reform on the hill. >> i'm disappointed. one of the things that we were asked often, you know, when they were -- didn't happen on the anniversary because it was initially promised and what our thoughts were and it was really that delay is denied. there's still an opportunity for something to happen. so with this new developmen

statement, but it is actually what you can read in the language of the bill. >> brennan: senator bookeras said -- >> all you have to do is read the areas of the bill that actually reduce the funding. that's available. >> brennan: so that's a big point of disagreement between the two of you -- >> only if you can't read. >> brennan: you are saying senator booker can't read? >> if you read the legislation, it is pretty simple. this is not something i'm making up and we can debate our facts. we can say in several different areas of the bill it reduces funding. >> brennan: i want to also ask you about immigration. you didn't seem to have a problem when president trump adopted title 42, which allows for those migrants crossing the border to be compelled without first being guaranteed asylum hearings. it was justified under the pandemic. the biden administration kept those things in place. do you have a problem with what the biden administration is doing with the compulsion of migrants now? >> i was for a strong border under president trump, and i'm for a strong border right now under presiden

. >> brennan: senator cory booker, who was your partner in this -- this started under the trump administration and continued under the biden administration. with republicans it went nowhere, and then with democrats it is going nowhere. >> the folks that left the tail are the democrats, let's be clear. we said, simply this: i am not going to participate in reducing funding for the police after we saw major city after major city defund the police. many provisions in this bill that he wanted me to agree to limited or reduced funding for the police. that is a lose/lose proposition. when you reduce funding for police, you actually lose lives in the community. our approach was a win/win approach. we want the best wearing the badge, and we want the vulnerable protected. so when you tie funding losses in this legislation, you should expect an allergic reaction from me. >> brennan: they would say that there wasn't a net loss of funding. in fact, there was funding being increased in terms of increased mental health funding, specifically. that there were specific programs for recruitment and training fun

>> absolutely. >> i'm trying to understand your question i was able senator booker statement and thes of the negotiators, they have been clear the support of this administration i think negotiators are attempting to come to an agreement they have asked us to leave space to take place and that is exactly what we did we supported then behind the scenes in any way they asked for we also agree it is unfortunate and disappointing they rejected the farms that they supported and refused to engage in key issues that many were willing to address that is incredibly disappointing and they are long overdue that is the presidents point of view. >> are there any circumstances with vaccine mandates that that was split a couple weeks into december or early next year. >> is the white house committed to the early november deadline. >> we announced early november when that would be implemented. >> you are committed to early november. >> we announced it would be implemented early november that's what we're planning on. >> as far as an vaccinated foreign nationals is there any procedure the white house m

>> no, senator scott knows that neither senator booker or i support defunding the police. what he is referring to was actually a part of the trump executive order which basically said, if a police department went along and instituted reforms such as having a database or accreditation, et cetera, that they would be able to keep resources that they had. this was proposed by president trump. the trump executive order is actually still in effect. the bill was going to provide hundreds of millions of dollars for police because the reforms that we were calling for, such as accreditation and databases and all actually cost money. so he knows that. but he also knows that that's a trigger phrase that is used and was used against democrats any time democrats were calling for any type of reform. >> so what was the point then? any question to his motives about wanting to engage on this and then all of a sudden changing the narrative and then not going along with it at the last minute? >> well, i don't know. i don't know if it was internal to his caucus. what i do know, it was very dif

that we do all we can to provide equity and fairness and his work as a former board member of the booker t. washington community center was really incredible. this was a center that when i first got my job under the mayor's youth employment training program we went to this center booker t. washington which we hung out here and there depending on if there were cute boys there that day. but we went there for our orientation and there was always, i mean, we were always welcomed there and what it's been transformed to in term officer this $35 million facility with 50 units of housing with transitional age youth and homelessness and others, this was a testament of his leadership as president of the board for six years. he is a community person. he cares about seeing great things happen for san francisco and, you know, he's a great just genuine, good human being and i have always appreciated not only his advice in council, but also he would always say, mayor, you know we've got to do more to support this or board to support that. it's always something to help someone else and that's why i know

booker, i was sworn to secrecy. so imagine, i had to, for three months, as much as i talk. >> the earliest memory i have of that is we were in front of a black board. we're being told that our reading comprehension grade went from, i think it was a d, and then we bumped it up to a b or maybe an a. as a result of that, the president of the united states would be coming out to visit us, so we would be congratulated. >> what we found is a good curriculum based upon the science of reading. >> president bush was pushing his no child left behind education reform bill. this was going to be a stop to meet with the students and then have a round table discussion with, you know, educators. >> when i was told i was the host teacher, i was like, this is getting real. my 16 little ones are going to be in the presence of the president, how cool is that? how special is that? it was quite a big thing. quite a big thing. >> this is the m.e. booker school, across the tracks. okay. in newtown. we were not the popular school in the dis

senator booker was in the senate. they all knew this. the president met with the floyd family, with civil rights leaders so all of a sudden we are now told we're going to do this, this, this. a critical issue. they knew that was unacceptable. >> a sticking point? >> like sitting at the lunch counters, check in a hotel but can't sit in front of the bus. who's playing with this is those that are trying to reshape what this was in the begin jared goff either they never intended to do it and trying to run the clock or starting to get concerns about the reelection. this is unacceptable. >> i want to ask you because i'm stuck on something that senator tim scott said. he essentially said that this failed because democrats wanted to defund the police and what we have to talk about what is what it means to defund the police. according to my reporting people who use that term saying it is not that we don't want police departments but we want police departments in neighborhoods of color as good and responsive as those in majorit

. >> that was new jersey senator cory booker on meet the press this morning.wading through the debris after the fall of bipartisan police reform talks this week. senator booker was simultaneously taking the high road when it comes to his negotiating partner. republican senator tim scott booker accepted responsibility for the break out of negotiations. he would not descend into partisan big name-calling. senator scott on the other hand took a bit of a different approach on another network. watch. >> both times, the folks have left the table where the democrats. let's just be clear that we have stayed at the table. we said simply this. i'm not going to participate in reducing funding for the police after we saw a major city after major city defund the police. many provisions in this bill that he wanted me to agree to limit it or reduced funding for the police. >> that, from a man who for months democrats said was engaged in good faith negotiations. discussing with me is mark, president and ceo of the national urban league, also the former mayor of new orleans. g

how do you feel about senator booker's reasoning? >> well, i am in agreement with that. i think when we spoke earlier, i talked about the fact that we were in part good with continuing to wait, because we wanted a bill that was not watered down or something that had some true substance and truly held policing accountable. so i think that's -- you know, as we were waiting for that to happen, it's kind of like maybe they can come to some sort of -- reach an agreement that would not water it down to a place where the policemen still weren't being held accountable. that we had sort of a ceremonial bill, if you will. so i'm in agreement with that. you know, if you are at a place where you're going to pass something that's not truly going to hold the officer's accountable, what's the point? >> you said on wednesday that you were feeling, quote, pessimistically optimistic about police reform. is that still the case? >> i'm thinking and leaning more toward just being pessimistic at this point. there really hasn't been much shift from when we had the initial conversation where my

booker accepted responsibility for their breakdown of negotiations and said he would not descend intoalling. senator scott, on the other hand, took a bit of a different approach on another network. watch. >> both times the folks that left the table were the democrats. let's just be clear. that we have stayed at the table. we said simply this. i am not going to participate in reducing funding for the police after we saw a major city after major city defund the police. many provisions in this bill that he wanted me to agree to limited or reduced funding for the police. >> that from a man who for months democrats said was engaged in good faith negotiations. my panel is back with me to discuss and joining the panel, marc morial, president and ceo of the national urban league and former mayor of new orleans. great to have you with us, marc. >> thank you. >> i wanted to get your thoughts on what we saw there. civil rights organizations, obviously including yours, released a statement after the failure of these bipartisan police reform negotiations, and it actually urged leaders to, quote, f

and i thought that they were very close together, democrats and republicans, tim scott and cory booker issues and there was this one issue of so-called qualified immunity that democrats wanted to get rid of and republicans wanted to preserve. and that that was what was left in this dispute. what do you understand about qualified immunity and why this is such a problem to come to a bipartisan agreement on? >> good morning, ali. good to see you again, too. so since the murder of george floyd at the knee of derek chauvin, the people in this country have been looking for transparency and accountability. they want to see transformation in policing. this is not transformation at this point and qualified immunity does play a great role because it is a way to hold police officers individually accountable for the things that they are involved in, for the misconduct. and that was taken off the table weeks ago, though. and, you know, it just boggles my mind that you would have police groups, especially, say we don't -- we don't want to take that off the table. why would that be the case? that's a

joining us now, one of the lead negotiators, new jersey democratic senator cory booker. good to see you. thanks for joining us. >> it's great and jake we want to talk about policing, but i'm sitting here kind of stunned, and you said it, i just want to make the point. spending, $8 trillion of debt. the debt ceiling raise is all about money donald trump spent to give the biggest tax cuts that i've seen in my lifetime so the wealthiest of wealthy, corporations and billionaires. >> as well as middle class people. 65% of the tax break went to the top 10%. joe biden's given the biggest middle class tax rate with the child tax rate. this is math. it's not complicated. people who voted for it, suddenly i'm not going to raise the debt ceiling on debt that we supported is to me it's a kabuki theater that frustrates a lot of folks. what's happening tomorrow, monday, continuing to run the government and raise the debt ceiling is something under donald trump, i voted under donald trump to raise the debt ceiling three times. even my friend, a gentleman, senator toomey wrote in "the w

per mill lagiapol and moderate josh gottheimer and cory booker join me. "it's horrible, president biden rebewkes his own border patrol for confronting migrants at the border." but what about biden's larger immigration policy? i'll speak with homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas next. >>> plus, democracy at risk? a sham audit in arizona reaffirms biden's victory. state gop officials continue to push the big lie that fueled the insurrection with former president trump more popular to his base than ever. republican senator pat toomey who voted to impeach former president trump joins me ahead. >>> hello i'm jake tapper in washington where the state of the union is wondering if today's democrats will prove they can govern. this is the most important legislative week of biden's legacy. in a letter to house democrats saturday, house speaker nancy pelosi said "the next few days will be a time of intensity" telling her party that they must fund the government, pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill, pass a $3.5 trillion spending bill this week. tomorrow

senator cory booker who was the democratic lead in those negotiations explaining it this way.e weren't making any more meaningful progress on meaningful substantive reform. >> we haven't swept the table, but i understand that politics is often a game of incremental changes. >> in a statement, republican senator tim scott accused democrats of taking a partisan approach, writing, quote, despite having plenty of agreement, democrats said no because they cot not let go of their push to defund our law enforcement. the final option of the bill left out more contentious clauses such as qualified immunity. joining me to discuss where we go from here, carmen best and law enforcement analyst brittany pat nick cunningham is with us, host of the podcast undistracted and msnbc contributor. let me start with this. he was not asking to defund the police. having said that, you were part of barack obama's task force on 21stst century policing. you have a deep understanding of how these go. were you disappointed? were you surprised? do you think it can go somewhere from here? give me a take on

now here's what senator booker said in a statement a few moments ago. he said unfortunately, even with this law enforcement support, he's talking about the deal that he says he had struck with them, and further compromises we offered, there was still too wide a gulf with our negotiating partners and we faced significant obstacles to securing a bipartisan deal. my colleague spoke with senator scott this morning before this announcement was made. senator scott saying he was not going to back away from these negotiations. that he wanted to be here and continue on with them. i have reached out to him and his office. we have not heard anything back. the bottom line, we are seeing yet another agenda item for president biden falling apart here on capitol hill. >> a lot of people in the community are going to be disappointed by that news. thank you. >>> former president trump has filed a lawsuit in new york state court. this time, he's seeing his niece. mary trump. and three "new york times" journalists over what he's called the illegal disclosure of his tax in

the three lead negotianegotiato congresswoman bass, senator booker and tim scott from the republican party basically making it official, calling it quits today. a key sticking point is something we've reported on from the start. many experts and blm movement activists said you need to reform qualified immunity that shields police. if you don't do that, you don't get anywhere. here's how senator booker put it. >> the effort from the very beginning was to get police reform that would raise professional standards, police reform that would create a lot more transparency and then police reform that would create accountability and we're not able to come to agreements on those three big areas. >> that is being very diplomatic. before i bring mya back in, i want to put our news context on this for you. it's been 485 days since a police officer murdered george floyd. congresswoman bass is out with a statement calling on president biden to step up and do the rest of this through executive orders. i bring mya wiley back in on the conversation. an expert on these issues including someone who's b

new jersey senator cory booker said the talks were going nowhere. biden and french president emmanuel macron have agreed to meet next month, to smooth tensions between the two governments. they center on australia's decision to buy u.s. submarines and cancel a deal with france. the two presidents spoke by phone today. macron also agreed to send the french ambassador back to washington. there is word that large numbers of haitian migrants are being released into the u.s. the biden administration had said they faced mediate expulsion. instead, the associated press reports that many have been told to report to immigration offices within 60 days. white house press secretary jen psaki suggested today, there aren't enough available planes for quick deportations. >> there are a range of flights, as you know, going to different parts of the world, depending, and those are in process. so if we're not-- if there isn't a flight ready yet, those individuals may be placed in alteatives to detention. >> woodruff: by some estimates, the camp at del rio, texas held

booker t. washington up from slavery, victor frankel's man searching for s meaning, followed currently she's raising fault lines a social movement and evangelicals looming catastrophe. what is the book about? >> he is a southern baptist i happen to be a southern baptist as well. he's writing about how critical race theory has impacted the baptist church. i've been the largest and conservative protestant groups in america. in 2019 they passed a resolution at the southern baptist convention to use criticaly race theory intersection analogy is analytical tools and understanding race in america. a lot about this book, and i've not finished reading it, let's talk about critical race theory as a marxist route how it has impacted the baptist denomination, tearing it apart in a lot of ways. i would not be surprised at some point in the future the baptist did not split the way other denominations have. >> know where you arere natural? >> why my national? that's a good>> question. i was a tenured profess

bass and booker have spoken to reporters. they said they decided to pull out of these talks after it was clear they couldn't get to yes with tim scott and republicans. bass told me she would like to see the president take further action on this issue. and booker says he's not going to stop trying. and geoff, this speaks to, again, the challenges of trying to work with these really narrow majorities and how important this reconciliation effort is because on all the issues in which democrats have tried to negotiate with republicans, police reform, guns, voting rights, they have got nowhere. the other alternative is to do what you can with just your party through reconciliation. and we'll see where that track goes. >> garrett haake, monica alba, jake sherman, appreciate you all for starting us off this hour. >>> top cdc advisers are meeting right now on the big question affecting so many of us, who needs covid vaccine boosters. >>> desperation amid a surge in haitian refugees as those migrants are deported by the hundreds. >>> a

and you would have a meeting with cory booker?one? >> definitely. i think the most important thing is being creative in the way we will advocate for what we believe in. part of the reason why i believe that more organizers and activists need to be elected is because when we come in, we will obviously work within the system and work to get laws passed. but on top of that, when we are working as an organizer, you have to be creative. i remember when i first started with march for our lives, a group of students and i went to virginia to go lobby and speak with legislators about passing gun reform. but we were cut short because there were thousands of armed protesters outside the virginia capital. even some of them causing death threats to us. so we got creative and we found some representatives that let us sleep overnight in the building and we actually came with 13 students the night before. we woke up in the morning and lobbied and with the help of organizations across virginia, sweeping gun reform was passed. and so we have to be

what would you hope to bring to that to cory booker, if you were to be sworn in to the next congressr, what's the first thing you're hoping that the two of you can get done? >> definitely. i think the most important thing is first off being creative in the way that we're going to advocate for what we believe in. part of the reason why i believe that more organizers and activists need to be elected to office is because when we come in, we're obviously going to work within the system, work to get legislation passed, but on top that, when you're working as an organizer, you have to be creative about things. i remember when i first started with march for our lives, a group of students and i went to virginia to go lobby and speak with legislators about passing sweeping gun reform, but we were cut a little bit short because there were thousands of armed protesters outside of the virginia capitol even some of them causing death threats to us. and so we got creative. we found some representatives that let us sleep over night in that capitol and we actually came with about 13 students the nig

today cory booker called his republican counter parts south carolina senator tim scott and said theyfficer. here is senator booker earlier today. >> it was clear that we were not making the progress that we needed to make to give america when i think the largest civil rights protests we've had in our country's history demands for substantive meaningful reform. when i couldn't get to a point where i can help families, tell them we were going to address the specific issues that put your family member in harm's way, it's just -- this is not -- this pathway now seems to be closed. >> democrats have been negotiating with senator scott in good faith for months. the sticking point was qualified immunity that shields police officers from civility for misconduct. the most recent version of the bill was slimmed down version that did not include qualified immunity reform. the excessive use of force warr. they urged democrats to bring the policing act to the floor for a vote so americans can see who is looking out for their com community's best interests. it been more than a year since it change

senator, do you share senator booker's optimism that there is going to be a compromise and a deal?tely share his optimism that this will get done. both, the bipartisan infrastructure package that has already been approved by the senate and this budget reconciliation measure which is even bigger. a more ambitious but necessary investment in our nation's infrastructure. and i just want to remind folks that are watching the drama in washington. it seems like it's falling apart. we have some holdouts. is the number going to come down? this and that. we went through the same roller coaster on the bipartisan infrastructure package that ultimately got done. so my first year in the senate. seemed like this is just a -- the standard part of the process. it's got to fall apart, come back together, fall apart, come back together a few times before we finally get it done. >> i was going to say you are now trained up for it. mean, it seems there are a number of sticking points. your sense of where this lands? what it is that ultimately gets compromised? >> well, there's a couple of pieces, righ

senator booker daca -- booker? >> thank you for being here today. it took extreme courage. i'm not sure anybody realizes the burden on survivors to come forward and recall what happened to them. it is not just recalling the trauma and the violence and the pain, but it is being forced to relive it. for that, i am deeply grateful that you would sink here, in a room of strangers come in front of powerful people -- to again relive that trauma. i also know that you did not come here for our kind word or our promise or empathy -- proudness or empathy. he came here for action. you have heard words for years, and you are still fighting. you are fighting against a systemic problem in our country that is not just in sports. we have seen it first, -- from church institutions and the boy scouts. he see it in diners, workplaces, factory floors. -- you see it in diners, workplaces, factory floors. you athletes are doing something in a tradition that is, to me, what has helped call the conscience of our country forward and expand our moral imagination to stop injustices of other sort. fro

thank you, polly mackenzie and michael booker. goodbye for now.s, they said, was a game they couldn't afford to lose. no—one was expecting an easy ride. just a point separated scotland and austria at kick—off, with both teams desperate to land the first blow. chances flowed and lyndon dykes rose. nothing that time, but in this frantic first half, another opportunity for scotland wasn't far behind. the referee decided che adams had been hauled down, and so dykes stepped up. it's lyndon dykes! yes! this time, he did beat the keeper. after the break, austria grew increasingly frustrated. the tension rose, the pressure was starting to show. austria outperformed scotland at the euros, but here they looked vulnerable. stephen 0'donnell nearly took advantage. but still, there was no margin for error, and thankfully for scotland, they had craig gordon to rely on. that save meant scotland hung on for a vital three points and a win that keeps the dream alive. katie gornall, bbc news. a bizarre late own—goal by nikola milenkovic gave the republic of ireland

let's discuss with democratic senator cory booker of new jersey.ou give us an update on where things stand tonight? >> i mean, wolf, it's tragic. we've seen as you've said the floodwater, the rape, tornado hit our state in a way that i cannot remember happening. we death records in my city. never seen something like that and the death toll in our state alone has risen to 23 peep. not to mention what is going to be hundreds of billions worth of property damming. it's a wretched moment in the state owes history and i've about out the phone with local layers and the was a mayor and haerpgt stories and the that will earnings that folks are going to face. families coming out of likes like that to recover and dole with all the klatt real damages. this is a really sad day at our region at a time that america is kufrg. fresh -- i think that speaks to the urgesy for all of us as americans, because i've seen the flooding and the hurricanes hit florida. we are stitt back and deplore the reality or we can tin to take more significant ac. i talked to chuck schu

i know congresswoman karen bass very well and senator booker very well, and i know they negotiated dayht, day and night to try no bring some accepts and acceptsible provisions to this bill on transparency, on a national database, and i believed they were getting close and all of a sudden the provisions of qualified immunity that senator scott was talking about, it was about making sure that taxpayer dollars are accountable for what the programs are supposed to do so i know senator booker and senator bass are recognizing that they have made many, many compromises already, many deferments i know this for a fact because i have talked with them all the time and they have done an incredible job and i'm so disappointed. black and brown lives do matter and this police reform bill was a step in the right direction to make sure that there's some police reform and police accountability and it's a shame and disgrace that the republicans would do what they did and not allow for this very modest bill to move forward. >> congresswoman barbara lee, we'll lee it right there and before we lose that sig

but today the lead negotiator and the senate that would be cory booker, democrat of new jersey, tim scott republican of south carolina, well they announced they would be no deal. white house said they would look for other world to hold our nations police department more accountable. but as the wall street journal points out tonight, and i quote without legislation the administration is relying largely on the justice department in its efforts to change american policing. >> meanwhile the pandemic continues you know the stats we've been losing just north of 2000 souls a day. most of the estimates are 95% or so of the patients in icu beds are unvaccinated in the hardest hit states. today, during a virtual global summit on the virus, the president announced the u.s. will donate half a billion doses of the pfizer vaccine to other countries around the world. with that, let's bring in our stellar starting line on this wednesday night peter baker veteran and our chief white house correspondent for the new york times, claire mccaskill former democratic senator from the great state of emergency, eu

hopefully in time we can feel better. >> thank you, senator booker. i believe senator blackburn is available by webex. senator? >> i would just say thank you to each of the women for being there today and the power of their stories and their word. brief quick question. [ inaudible ] >> senator blackburn, can you hear us? >> yes, i can hear you. >> we missed your three questions. >> yes. three questions. number one, what are the reforms that you would like to see take place? number two, if you do not trust safe sports, what we would like to know, who is a trustworthy, or is there an organization or an individual that has your trust to be the go to? and the third thing, did the fbi ever offer you a female agent who could walk with you through this process? >> thank you, senator blackburn. i'm going to let the panel respond to you and then we have two more witnesses -- pardon, two more members after you. thank you. >> i never had a female agent after telling that story. i just -- i'm exhausted. >> understood. anyone else want to respond? >> there was a f

they move a few inches towards something that might be acceptable but in the end, cory booker the senateongresswoman, karen bass on the democratic side were extremely flexible and extremely -- working extremely hard just to bring the republicans to just a minimal acceptable place where some actual reform could happen and they couldn't. so, it's up to the justice department now, as you said and as they continue their pattern and practice investigations of police departments in their interventions there, that's basically what we're left with at this point. >> peter baker, back over to the white house. compared to our -- it turns out fatal exit strategy from afghanistan, compared to the diplomacy speak of pissing off the french, where does the debt ceiling rank in terms of the problems joe biden is looking at? >> well, look, the debt ceiling is a more immediate crisis at this point. if they were to fail to pass it, as you wrote about the study written about by the "washington post," it would be economic consequences of a great and enormous damage to the country. that's a higher priority, i

the racism, they need to reach booker t. washington's up from slavery and when we talk about black culture and the racism of white people we need to talk about the fact that black wall street was established and created less than 60 years after slavery ended. so these were blacks that did not get government loans set aside but they were to build a community and a city, a part of town that was the envy of the area. and so the lights thatwere involved in burning down black wall street, there was a lot of jealousy involved . black success and it was not based ongovernment loans and handouts . >> what's your advice for somebody who wants to run for office? >> i think they need to sit down and figure out why they want to run for office. we have to many people that want to run for office. i think that we people who are not running for office they want the power. they want to go to congress and they want to go somewhere and stay in office. we need people who are willing to make a sacrifice. they have something going for themselves.
