host: senator romney says, your thoughts on bipartisanship on capitol hill. this is the capitol journal column. deal tests new bridge in d.c. and the picture that emerged thursday of the president to stand with senators with both parties to announce agreement shouldn't be startling. now it selldom does. mr. biden promised that such scenes could reappear and has been difficult in a hyper polla rised where it jut strips and political penalty for compromise is a death sentence. he writes that reaching this agreement required maneuvering. getting the deal required the spending on human infrastructure, education, health care, child care, anti-poverty programs that democratic progressives demanded and slimming down some of the president's demands. many on the democratic left will go along only if there is a parallel bill with many of those health and family programs that can pass with democratic votes under so-called budget reconciliation rules and that is what mr. biden happened even declaring he would not sign the bipartisan infrastructure bill without getting a p

it makes a more personal but the capitol hill is about. and of the story i like to is a story of kill philip reid in his importance in the casting of the statue of freedom on the capitol dome. that he was enslaved man, he was a guy they figured out how to figure out to take apart the plaster statue. that had been sculpted and italy. cast into individual pieces so they could be placed on top of the dome of the capital. of course the fact that he was a free man on the day that this was completed a year earlier. another great story that i like to tell and that you probably all have heard some parts of. so today i want to talk about those stories that i don't usually get a chance to tell. now i am a local historian for the hellish home blog. once a week at a short piece on capitol hill history. and finding new topics to look at is kind of an interesting process. sometimes it's somebody who will contact me say i was wondering about this. can you look into that? other times will happen is that i will find an old guidebook of washington d.c. and t

capitol hill -- on capitol hill right now, president biden, when he comes back to the united states is going to be facing this big decision. does he want to do this bipartisan deal and try to pass a larger democratic only bill or does he just want to go with democrats and try to get everything he wants into one bill? it's significant because there are centrist democrats who, if he goes with this bipartisan proposal that's out there right now and gaining steam on capitol hill, he's basically giving, you know, cent rifrist democrats th dessert before the veggies. he's allowing them to pass something they really want to pass without requiring them to endorse something that perhaps they'd be a little less comfortable on. and that's things like tax increases. corporate tax increases specifically. tax increases on wealthy individuals. and expanded family infrastructure plan that helps with everything from child care to, you know, family support for people who are taking care of a sick loved one. but, look, there's a risk with going with this bipartisan proposal for joe manchin. and that is -

i'm hallie jackson in washington along with our nbc news team, leigh ann caldwell, capitol hill and kel i-o'donnell at the white house. this is a new day in d.c., right? the path forward on voting rights seems very difficult. it seems like there might be some movement on infrastructure although even that is facing some hurdles. and the biden agenda, the democratic agenda really on the line. >> that's absolutely right, hallie. it will be very difficult for democrats to clear the issues they're trying to get through congress and the congress of course is the road block. the voting rights vote failed last night. democrats are continuing to say the fight is not over, this is just the beginning but they don't have a lot of options on this issue. they don't have ten republicans who are going to join them and they don't have the democratic votes to get rid of the filibuster, so what do they do next? they keep talking about it and that's something they vowed to do. senator amy klobuchar is head of the rules committee said she's going to hold hearings in georgia out in the field to bring this is

this reporting from zack owens, capitol hill reporter that senate report urging congress to adequately fund the capitol police staffing, training, and equipment. senators proposed legislation empowering the police chief to unilaterally request backup from the national guard. that report will be examining the u.s. capital report and security response failures on january 6. that senate report now available on our website at c-span.org. more from fox producer on capitol hill, the senate report, neither the capitol police nor the fbi, the secret service, or other law enforcement partners new thousands of writers were planning to attack the -- thousands of rioters were planning to attack the u.s. capital. the known intelligence did not support that conclusion. we are expecting more reporters to dig into that report. we will update you on it. if you want to read it yourself, c-span.org. back to your phone calls about senator joe manchin, his role on capitol hill, do you think he has too much influence? that is the question we are asking in the first hour of our programs. a democrat out of or

the capitol hill rioters. ar 510 defendant have been charged in connection with the capitol breach. but while rioters in portland and new york see their charges dropped, not only are capitol hill rioters seeing their allegations enhanced to a felony, with quote, unquote, obstruction of an official proceeding charges, many of them, nonviolent first-time offenders. and they are being held for months in pre-trial detention in a form of solitary confinement. let me give you a few examples. first of all, in a washington, d.c. jail a high school senior 18-year-old prune know sat for weeks had in solitary confinement. that's 23 hours a day in his cell. he was sitting there on weapons charges for bringing a collapsible baton into the capitol january 6th. he didn't we would the baton. what he did was wrong does that mean we set aside the humanitarian concerns of solitary confinement? the rule of law on pre-trial detention? does that make him a greater threat to society than someone who burns a federal building in portla

the show down over voter rights coming to' head hours from now in capitol hill. democrats sweeping election reform legislation is on track to hit yet another gop filibuster road block. now the major question for democrats is could they get joe manchin on board with the legislation as it currently stands to show they are united. some democrats are hoping it could help make their case that filibuster reform is needed now in a senate where many of them argue minority rights have become minority rule. >> also today, president biden's ongoing infrastructure negotiation team will be on capitol hill to discuss the proposal being drafted now by a bipartisan group of 20 senators, 10 democrats, 10 republicans, but there are still major hold ups. both sides far apart on how to pay for their version, nearly $600 billion in new spending on infrastructure. manu raju is on capitol hill. so manu, first start on the voting rights bill. it abin't going to get 60 votes 10 republicans to come along but will it get 50, in other words keeping democrats together. >> reporter: it is sti

chad pergram is live on capitol hill with more.hors, chad. >> good morning. it was just not the press corps. lots of democrats tried to pin it on former president trump in preparation for a photo p. president biden then a candidate condemned president trump for tear gassing demonstrators in the park. house speaker nancy pelosi said it reminded her of a banana republic. elizabeth ware en said it was sickening and appalling but the inspector general said the president did not have anything to do with it. >> we did not find any evidence that the presidential visit influenced the park police's decision making or their deployment in their operation to clear out the park. >> president trump walked through the park shortly after police removed demonstrators and posed with a bible in front of a nearby church. demonstrators swarmed washington, d.c. following the death of george floyd. inspector general called the protest a tumultuous event in a tumultuous time. the former president applauded the i.g. report saying it exonerated him. harris.

nobody on capitol hill wants to see that. joe biden with his proud irish heritage doesn't want to see that either. they are making a point of warning boris johnson, don't do anything when it comes to negotiating your brexit deals that could lead to more strife in northern ireland. if you do that, remember that trade agreement you would like to have between the uk and u.s.? we have to think carefully about how that goes if there's a problem in northern ireland. >> president biden also has this big meeting coming up on this trip with russia's president, vladimir putin. the white house has been out in force with a pretty united message over the last few hours, ambassador. >> it's going to be candid. it's going to be direct. >> it's going to be candid. he will raise our issues of concern. >> it will be a direct conversation. our aim is to have a predictable, stable relationship. >> this is going to be a candid conversation. it's going to be a straightforward conversation. the president will raise areas where he has concern. he wi

in talking to sources on capitol hill and the white house, there is talk of leaving bipartisan talks behind and moving forward on democratic only legislation. moderates made clear they want bipartisan talks but today bernie sanders saying he's considering a budget at $6 trillion. not just what the president put on the table but even going further on issues like medicare expansion potentially even immigration coming into that single bill. that's something that will not fly with moderate democrats. again, this is going to be back and forth that's complicated over the next several weeks and is crucial to president biden's agenda. >> it is. thanks so much. let's discuss now with ted lue of california. great to have you on the show. is this something that you can get behind? >> thank you for your question. there are two processes right now. there's a bipartisan proposal for infrastructure and then a reconciliation bill that would only require 51 votes. i'm going to look at both of them and then make a decision. none of them are put in stone yet. i think it's important to compare the two b

that was met with a lot of tension, primarily from capitol hill.l defense authorization act that says no detainees can be brought to u.s. soil. that's one of the biggest hurdles the administration will face. during the transition time, the biden team was hoping to take a very aggressive approach. one thing they were planning to do was appoint a special envoy charged with closing the facility, with getting rid of the 40 doe detainees, bringing to a civilian super max prison facility. early on, they realized that this was going to be a lightning rod of an issue. they began to take a different tact. that was to quietly work behind the scenes under the radar to close the facility. the way that they are going about that is they are trying -- they are figuring out which detainees can be transferred to other countries and then make it more of a -- an effort to work with congress and make this more known to the public. as of now, there are 40 detainees left at the facility. nine are eligible to transfer to other countries. the biden administration has to w

joining me on capitol hill, leann caldwell, and mike medley. ave both of you onboard here. let's start with the hill negotiations, because we have been waiting and waiting and waiting to get some outline of the deal that this bipartisan group is talking about, and, of course, you can't separate these negotiations from the reconciliation negotiations that are going on in the background set to potentially satisfy progressives that may not be thrilled with what is not in the bipartisan deal. where do things stand on the hill right now? is this still on track? >> yeah, kasie, those two things of absolutely linked for various reasons. let's start on the bipartisan proposal. joe manchin and other senators of the bipartisan group indicated that the details of the proposal would come out as early as today. well, our sources are telling us that after days of waiting that they are probably not going to come out today, and the reason is they are still try to go figure out how to pay for this smaller$1 trillion-bill, and caught up in the negotiations and di

you were on capitol hill in the wake of 21 republicans voting against this congressional gold medal for d.c. and capitol police. what was your reaction to that vote? >> i was pretty outraged that 21 members would vote against a bill to honor members of my department as well as members of the united states capitol police. so i reached out to a buddy of mine, harry dunn, a u.s. capitol police officer, and asked him to walk with me as i went and attempted to schedule appointments to meet with those 21 members just to discuss my experiences that day and if they were interested, showing them my body-worn camera footage and hoping to better understand why it was that they voted no. and if they had issues with the language of the bill, did they have some type of alternative that they had already come up with to honor those officers? >> you're still on medical leave, right? >> yes, ma'am. >> tell me about the injuries you're dealing with. >> on january 6th, in addition to being severely beaten, i was tased numerous times at the base of my skull. as a result of that, i suffered a traumatic brain

so many other issues on capitol hill.un control, climate change -- they just don't have the same level of bipartisan support that infrastructure has. it would be difficult for president biden to get something else done. this package is not going to happen overnight. the end of july timeline that chuck schumer and needs a plosive put out last night, that is really optimistic. there's a good chance this entire congress, this spending -- spending potentially well into the fall working on this package. matt: what about the pay for's for this bill, the phrase used in washington for basically revenue they need in order to finance this kind of spending? we are all used to hearing trillions of dollars, figures much higher than this, for 559 billion dollars is still a large figure. emily: it is a very large figure. one of the ideas they have or how to pay for this is to bolster the irs' ability to audit wealthier individuals and companies. studies have shown some of these individuals are not paying every thing they're supposed to

. >> host: philosophically then, where is capitol hill particularly washington when it comes to this idea of debt and deficits and if they matter ultimately? >> guest: i don't see any real concern at the moment. certainly the biden administration has no concern about the enormous deficits they intend to run and we learned, i think, in the pandemic that running large deficits to bolster the economy in the face of an enormous which there was o was the right thing to do and i agree with that in the question is what happens when we are 2025 or 2026 and at some point we have to a control the access of deficit spending and get our debt under control. >> but the tax proposals under the biden administration is -proposing, how much of that covers its current spending plan? >> it doesn't cover it. they're planning to spend, you know, about 140 billion more every year than they plan to increase taxes so there is or some attempt to pay with things that we will see what but by no means is this a balanced approach. >> our guest with us until a 45:00 if you want to ask questions about the budget an

cnn's ryan nobles is live for us on capitol hill. this afternoon democrats were able to get west virginia democratic senator joe manchin on board with today's vote. what do we know about the legislation and the negotiations? >> well, this was an important step for democrats because even without those ten republicans who are likely to block this measure from moving forward, they didn't even have 50 democrats on board with moving the legislation forward. that changed after a breakthrough in negotiations this afternoon. and essentially what manchin has agreed to is allowing the motion to proceed and then have a vote on a separate amendment should the legislation make it to that next stage. the problem is it's unlikely to get to that stage because there is just no indication that there are ten republicans willing to continue this debate. in fact, this is a piece of policy where you see a sharp divide between democrats and republicans. democrats believe that this issue of voting rights is fundamental to the core of american democracy wher

sahil kapur is on capitol hill.d negotiator is confirming what we've been reporting, walk us through the latest in the last couple of minutes. >> negotiations of police reform do appear to be on thin ice at the moment. and a big part of this as our colleague leigh ann caldwell reported is a split between law enforcement groups, sheriffs and police unions about police accountability, this is a problem a huge part of the police reform effort is to raise the standard of accountability for police officers, and potentially make them criminally liable for certain actions of misconduct and that is creating a problem in terms of getting enough congressional support from both sides of the aisle to get this done. congresswoman karen bass who has been as you noted a lead democratic negotiator, i spoke to her just moments ago about this and she sounded skeptical if not pessimistic about the prospects going forward. let's listen to exactly what she said. karen bass did not put a hard dead line on negotiations. the time something

you were formerly a capitol police officer before you worked for tip o'neal on the hill. the man leading the proud boys on january 6th. what was your reaction on the attack of the capitol? >> you worked out there, and i worked out there. i worked on both sides, the political side and the journalist side. i felt violated. it was a cathedral of democracy and that's where lincoln gave his second inaugural about the civil war and how it was penance for slavery and what was done by this whip was going to be paid for by the sword and blood and he tried to explain to the american people the horror of slavery and this thing we inherited, and it's also where they passed the civil rights bill in 1964, mostly republicans, as you know, did the voting and with the segregated democratic party had 22 segregationists in it, and that was the old segregated and the deal had never struck and the democratic party had to deal with segregations and we've come so far from that, and i think there are a lot of people and i'll be blunt about it who would have it ruled by whites than have it ruled d
