chuck schumer said the same thing. at least for now, at least for now it seems to be over. >> white house officials made very clear and i will concur with what david was just saying, they understand they need to publically have this battle. they understand they can't just throw in the towel on this issue. they will make clear they still want legislation. they're still pushing for legislation, and they will have no problem if senate majority leader chuck schumer brings this up again or moves forward to make a pathway on the john lewis voting rights bill. when you talk to vice president harris's team and you recognize what her role is going to be in the weeks going forward, it is not going to be up on capitol hill trying to whip votes for this. it is going to be out in the country. it is going to be to galvanize voters from a regulation perspective, galvanize outside groups to build coalitions to try and push back against some of the state level laws. and i think you are going to see the administration reach out pretty r

chuck schumer has said he intends to bring it up again. as we find out more and more about what happened on january 6, who was involved and so forth, i think the pressure will only increase. whether that is enough to get a few more votes is unclear. during this vote in may on the january 6 commission, we had several absences. we don't know if it would have gotten us to 60. we know there were three more yes votes, getting us to 57. that is getting really close to getting that legislation passed. we saw the relief of a joint citic committee report -- senate committee report that detailed the failures from a campus -- on a campus security level, particularly from the u.s. capitol police. that is being conducted by current officeholders who are subject to a lot of pressure. i think we have not heard the last of this about january 6. there is a member versus member lawsuit, eric swallow is suing mo brooks, a republican in alabama who is running for senate. for his role in inciting the violence on january 6. this issue is not going away. at roll

and possible involvement of members of congress and senate and repugnant party. >> right now, chuck schumer, the legislation who established a genuine six commission on the 9/11 commission was after 9/11 attacks was installed in the senate. fifty-four votes but it wasn't enough for the 60 votes to proceed on a procedural hurdle so right now it's stalled, chuck schumer has said he intends to bring it up again. more find out more and about what happened january 6 whether whoab was involved in so forth, i think it's only going to increase. whether it's enough to get a fea more votes iss unclear. some of the people in may on the generally six commission, several absences. we don't know if it would have gotten us to six, we certainly know there were at least three more yes both getting up to 57, that's getting reallyng close to getting that legislation procedural hurdles. he saw the relief of a joint senate committee report recently that detailed failures from cancel security level in particular with capitol police but that is not a comprehensive look conducted by current officeholders subject t

and president biden and chuck schumer and bernie sanders have to work with that side too.ever can come through, you know, bipartisan support means you've got to have the democrats on board and in both the house and the senate. you've got to have all the democrats on board or you don't get it through without republican help. and so it's a real tightrope that has to be walked. on the infrastructure bill, infrastructure is something that you and i recall being universally popular. it allows congress to shower the folks back home with goodies. >> yeah, it was always bipartisan. maria teresa, you have joe manchin now being apparently driven into the arms of chuck schumer by mitch mcconnell. who every day finds a new extremist, unreasonable thing to say about zero chance of getting republican votes that gives joe manchin nowhere to go except with his democrats. >> well, he had a chance -- mitch mcconnell had a chance to secure manchin had he allowed his party to vote for the insurrection, for the commission to actually investigate the january 6th insurrection. he decided no. he

chuck schumer needs to start pressuring people. chuck schumer is a weak leader. host: that is marine in redwood city, california. the for the people at, -- the for the people act, a bill to address voter access and election integrity, this is a wrap up from the congressional research, it expands voter registration, voter access, limits to removing voters from voter rolls, establishes safe to establish independent redistricting commissions, sets forth provisions on election security, direct campaign-finance issues, including expanding the prohibition on campaign spending by foreign nationals. a lot in that bill so named because it was the first piece of legislation that democrats tried to move at the beginning of the 117th congress. now it is unclear what the fate of the bill will be now that joe manchin has said he will not support it. surely out of christian burke virginia, republican, good morning. caller: how are you today? host: i'm doing all right. what you think about joe manchin? caller: i think he is a true american. i was a democrat but i have been a rep

there is big tension between the senate majority leader chuck schumer and republican senator susan collinsion to investigate the capitol insurrection. some of it goes back to the campaign. schumer says it's all a big misunderstanding. >> one other thing is winning over republicans is important. one of the republicans we talked to is susan collins. she's critical of your handling of the vote on the january 6th commission. she said she's perplexed at the state of your relationship. >> it was a misunderstanding. i was always for her changes. i told our democratic colleagues i'm for them. it was a misunderstanding. i hope she can find the other four votes among the republicans. >> she said you didn't stand up and you told her to lower voice and volunteered it could be condescending and sexist the way the interaction went. >> it was a misunderstanding. i like to get along with everybody. >> you can fix that relationship? >> i hope so. >> kind of a shrug on the hope so, there. there's some history here. senator collins was -- a i don't get that frchlt democrats are supposed to try to beat republ

while you were working chuck schumer and nancy pelosi had a meeting with white house people about this infrastructure deal on the two tracks. the bipartisan bill and then the democrats only version of it, and chuck schumer said it was a very good meeting, they got into quite a bit of detail, they're all on the same page. they are proceeding a pace and that we hope to have voted on both of them in the senate and house in july. i'm completely fascinated by this, rachel, because nothing like this have ever been done before. i don't know how they are going to do the two bills, because if you are the republicans and your negotiating with the democrats on an infrastructure bill, normally you would be saying to them, so this is the bill, right? there's no extra thing. you are not talking about it. yeah, there's this other reconciliation bill with taxes and other stuff that you don't like, we're gonna do that on a separate tracked. and republicans are supposed to just walk out of the room and say forget it. ed markey is here he's going to be able to explain to me how the senate is going to do

host: you heard chuck schumer say that we want to improve upon the affordable care act.ne proposal is a bill to remove surprise billing, it faces industry opposition. the success was not assured but passed in december, senate leadership considering a package that could include an expansion of medicare to coverage more middle-aged americans and provide dental, vision and hearing benefits. it would be costly and face resistance from health industries. the campaign promise proposal of a government run public option that americans would have the choice to purchase are at the earliest stages of conception. but in blacksburg, south carolina. you are opposed, good morning. caller: yes. donald trump was going to provide insurance, your pharmacy drugs. we were paying too much. other countries was last. -- was less. you did to pay as much of their, why would you have to pay more -- as much there, why would you have to pay more? i tell them they can keep my medicine because i'm not paying that. donald trump, i believe everything he says. host: okay betty. sac on facebook says it is

clearly, yesterday, nancy pelosi and chuck schumer threw a wrench into that plan.aylor: you're also a ranking member on the -- on a subcommittee. when we think about the grid is a national security issue, are we doing enough to meet requirements? making the grid reliable, transitioning perhaps to more green energy, but it has to be protected from a national security perspective. is there enough in this bill to do all of those? rep. hill: that has been an ongoing priority on a bipartisan basis in congress and about two of the power sharing companies located in my district. in both instances, they have a reliability transfer authority for power across this country that includes a strong cyber protection and grid resiliency initiative. i have met with those companies and many utilities. the private sector works on this every single day. where the government can make strategic investments i think you find bipartisan support. as to the amount, that is not something i can comment on cassette not studied their up -- their proposal. taylor: we will make sure to ask you ano

chuck schumer said he got to 50.e biden and the democrats is that he was going to be able to unite the country and work across the aisle. there was no effort to do that. >> harris: what happened? >> it's very shallow of -- chuck schumer knew it wasn't going the pass. it is fundamentally a bad bill. it is for the democrats bill, not a voting rights bill. it inhibits things. we could go through that in great detail. an hour's worth of stuff on what's wrong with it. if chuck schumer wanted to debate and have the issue he should have had it go to the senate judiciary committee so there could be amendments and discussion. he didn't do that. he brought it right to the floor. he knows it's a message bill. not a serious piece of legislation with any chance of garnering bipartisan support. >> harris: the filibuster, does it live or die? >> it continues on. hats off to -- it comes up when republicans are in the majority. some say they want to get rid of it. there are people that are -- >> harris: that's part of the threat. sen

until the earl '90s when chuck schumer, the freshman senator from new york, decided to start filibustering on the executive calendar. the answer to the question is, the executive calendar is one thing, the legislative calendar is another. the executive calendar is now 100% back where it was 20 years ago, simple majority. i'm comfortable with that. that used to be the tradition. that's where we are. the legislative calendar is the essence of the senate. the very essence of the senate. change the legislative calendar and you have fundamentally turned the senate into the house and completely destroyed the institution. i admire the handful of democrats left in the same position they were a couple years ago, when they were not only using the filibuster but defending the filibuster repeatedly when they were not in the majority. so i do think that it's extremely admirable there are at least a handful of democrats left who believe in the institution. >> and some reaction to the failure of yesterday's vote by democrats to move forward on their voting rights legislation from progressives in congress

chuck schumer -- he said a couple of weeks ago there is no bipartisan solution for is.t means you need to blow up the filibuster. if you cannot get a bipartisan compromise to get 60 votes and you want to pass it, you cannot snap your fingers and make it law. you have to pass it, blow up the filibuster. but there are the votes to blow up the filibuster. so we are in a holding pattern on what has been a top priority, not only for biden, but democratic candidates across the country. it is not an unpopular view. there are basical two democrats who are holding this priority up. this is something everyone ran on. yamiche: both of new hampshire's senators indicating they don't really have the appetite to blow up the filibuster. so there are a lot -- chuck schumer has a lot more problems in the senate besides them. eva: when you talk behind the scenes, they say democrats have more problems, which makes me want to talk to mike. in the east room, i questioned the president about voting it and what the deal would mean for his agenda or other items. he made news and said he would b

here is chuck schumer.

so how does chuck schumer figure this out? it is a huge list of priorities, not just voting rights but the january 6th commission, police reform, tougher gun laws, all of them effectively on hold. joe manchin is making clear that he is not intending to budge. >> it is a huge to-do list that chuck schumer said they were going to tackle in the next three weeks in the month of june alone. so this does create a huge problem for senator schumer. senator joe manchin has said in the last few days that he did you want want to get rid of the filibuster. that is what he has maintained for the last few months since democrats took control of the majority of the senate. he knows he is getting a lot of pressure from progressives and some of his members. this is him once again saying please stop pressuring me, this is where i stand. he thinks the senate needs to work in a bipartisan way to get some of these priorities done. they say they are instructing, and when they put this on the floor and we see how the vote falls, as you look at what p

now some say senate majority leader chuck schumer needs to get tough on him.he get anything done before they lose the house and senate in the midterm, is biden's agenda lost in appalachia? the panel is back. i will start with you. some people are saying joe mansion just loves that he has so much power and he's just going to abuse it, but what's really going on here? >> many people are saying that here. i think what's going on here is relatively simple. virginia voted overwhelmingly for trump. he is listening to the people of west virginia more than chuck schumer and that's the bottom line. i wouldn't even hold him up to somebody who is a grand principle moderate although in some things he is. he's been consistent in his support of the filibuster over the years, but this is just a simple exercise of democracy. he represents a state that is in many ways opposed to a lot of the more radical pieces of the democratic agenda. he's sort of a dinosaur, you might put jim webb on the binary stage back primary stage back in 2016 that said the enemy he would make is that

we heard chuck schumer calling on them to join him in investigating this. we haven't heard much from the republicans but it's a 50-50 chamber and their support will be needed to issue subpoenas. one person to keep an eye on here is chuck grassley, ranking member of the judiciary committee. he is one known to have taken his role seriously under the president of both parties. we have speaker pelosi telling our friends at cnn earlier today that the house will subpoena william barr and jeff sessions, the two former attorneys general, and have them in the house to testify under oath about this. we'll see how this develops. we haven't heard a whole lot from republicans yet, but it remains to be seen as to whether this is something congress takes more seriously or if it just gets wrapped up in the latest slew of partisan politics. >> sahil, help me understand something. it is possible iran was being targeted as an individual. it's also possible he got swept up in a broader probe, is that right? >> it may be that what they were investigating, considering there was

the reason why it is important right now that he says it is the majority leader, chuck schumer, told us on capitol hill that he plans to bring up the voting rights bill this month. what joe manchin is saying is unless they change that bill to the liking of at least 10 republicans, it will fail. they will bring it to the forward in the senate and it will not make it to the bait. -- floor in the senate and it will not make it to the debate. you will not see joe manchin voting for it. that means there is no chance of getting rid of the filibuster. it is a big deal that he is not doing it. he is not the only one. joe manchin is one of, i think, a few moderate democrats who don't really want -- like the idea of getting rid of the filibuster and having this unilateral approach to passing everything, a one-party approach. he is the most vocal and provides cover for other democrats who either agree with him or are on the fence. that is basically where the democratic party stands right now in the senate. you have a small group of moderates who are ruling -- using quite a bit of leverage at th

chuck schumer, the majority leader said he is working the dual path. can they get as much as possible in the bipartisan manner within everything else, the american families plan, more climate remoted pieces of the american jobs, does that go to another spending bill that's democrats only through reconciliation? if they can't get the bipartisan deal, then it has to be all with democrats only. we know we've seen resistance from some moderate democrats. look at the items on the agenda that can't use reconciliation at all. voting rights. key among them. the for the people act, that's been passed by the house but stuck in the senate. the major road block there, joe manchin, democrat of west virginia. some other democrats have concerns about the bill. he is the only exact not a cosponsor on the bill, stated opposition until this road block is cleared this bill will remain stuck in congress. police reform, another item. of course the house democrats have a bill that thechb working on. right now karen bass, house democrat, cory booker senate democrat and senat

and, you know, the majority leader chuck schumer said they are not giving up, that they have a number of avenues to try to pass some form of this legislation in the near future, but he hasn't outlined exactly how they get there. the obstacle is that the filibuster remains in place and there are a small group of democratic senators who are unwilling to break that up for anything, even something they consider to be their biggest priority, and that includes west virginia's joe manchin and arizona's senator kristen cinema, who both have said that the filibuster, breaking it up now would lead to long-term consequences that they just don't want to entertain. so, chuck schumer can continue to tell his base that he's not giving up on this, but right now, he's yet to outline a true path to getting there without convincing those wayward senators they need to break the filibuster and they need to do it now. >> there are progressive democrats who believe president biden and vice president harris should've done more to get this passed. the vice president spoke after the vote. what did she have to

elizabeth: now we've got senator chuck schumer.e will try to ram through, word coming in, president biden's multitrillion dollar infrastructure plan this announcement is expected to come tomorrow. they will do it, try to do it with just democrat votes, via budget reconciliation. you and i talked about. this we said this was coming a couple months ago. senator joe manchin appears open to this line of attack. what do you think of this move? >> well, first of all, it is generous to say it is infrastructure when less than 10% of it is roads, bridges and highways. this is growing government. this is growing government and it is growing government. that is what they did back in 2009 with their 787 billion-dollar package. remember joe biden's budget if you look back 10 years is 50% bigger. so when you're putting nearly 25% of our gross domestic product into government, one out of every four dollars spent by the government, again it exacerbates inflation. it is the insatiable desire of the democrats to control more, have more, spend more,

joe manchin got an agreement with chuck schumer that the democrats would adopt the manchin compromise version of the bill, and still joe manchin could not get a single republican to go along with that, and so the republicans won today by preventing the bill from reaching the necessary 60-vote threshold to proceed. senator manchin released this statement today saying, quote, unfortunately my republican colleagues refuse to allow debate on this legislation despite the reasonable changes made to focus the bill on the core issues facing our democracy. as i have said before, the right to vote is fundamental to our american democracy, and protecting that right should not be about party or politics. i remain committed to finding a bipartisan pathway forward because the future of our democracy is worth it. after the vote, reporters asked joe manchin once again about the possibility of him supporting reformibuster rule. >> no, guys. i think y'all know where i stand on the filibuster. >> i think you all know where i stand on the filibuster. well, no, senator manchin, we do not. in one of joe ma

. >> an exclusive ruling here on msnbc, they gave chuck schumer credit for restoring the kind of fear process that mitch mcconnell did not allow in the senate when he was the majority leader. >> i give chuck schumer being worked the way it supposed, to come to the floor with, amendments and republicans get a chance to put their amendments on the floor, which we haven't seen. mitch never gave us that situation before and we had really good work that we have known what's need to be done and we have that chance now. >> joining our discussion now is jonathan caught, he served as communications director and senior adviser and joe manchin for -- president and ceo of -- the latino in an msnbc contributor. jonathan, in stephanie's interview with the senator today, it sounded like on the democrats only bill, it's going to come down to just how big is, it's how much money for the democrats and what do they want to spend? >> i think joe manchin is always said he is in favor of fixing the problem in this country faces. he wants to do things in a bipartisan way because he thinks it's better for th

president biden spoke with nancy pelosi' chuck schumer. >>> there is no clear path forward on anotherimportant topic that is playing out right now on capitol hill and that is voting rights. as we reported, senator manchin dashed hopes on sunday of passing a sweeping election overhaul bill that would guarantee universal access to mail-in voting and secure 15 days of early voting in every state. the for the people act has the official backing of top party leaders including president biden. despite his meeting yesterday with top civil rights leaders, the west virginia democrat remains unmoved. >> what we had was a great -- we had a respectful, we had a very informative -- it was a very good conversation we had. starting of a good relationship. really was. >> manchin says he would back a different voting rights bill but that too is facing serious obstacles. >> there is no threat to the voting rights law. it's against the law to discriminate in voting on the base of race already. so i think it's unnecessary. >> joining me now, is andrew. thank you for being with us. good morning. two thing

chuck schumer can continue to tell his base that he's not giving up on this, but right now he's yet to outline a true path to getting there without convincing those wayward senators they need to break the filibuster and they need to do it now. >> there are progressive democrats who believe president biden and vice president harris should've done more to get this passed. the vice president spoke after the vote. what did she have to say? >> reporter: i talked to a lot of progressive democrats in the house of representatives that are really upset with president biden and vice president kamala harris, that they weren't more forceful in using the bully pulpit of the white house to try and encourage democrats to do everything they possibly could to get this passed in the senate. harris pushed back on that after the vote today. listen to what she said. >> i am here today because obviously this is one of the critical issues that the united states congress could take up. which is about the fundamental right to vote in our country. and i think it is clear, certainly, for the american people that

chuck schumer says senator manchin will vote yes to open debate on that bill. procedural vote later today on this voting rights bill. this legislation very important to the democratic party, to president biden's agenda. and they had this outstanding vote with senator joe manchin who had called for compromises. now the announcement coming that they do have joe manchin's support, senator majority leader chuck schumer breaking that news just moments ago. take a listen. >> i'm pleased to report that senator manchin and i have come to an agreement. he came to my office, oh, about two hours ago and we worked it out. senator manchin has informed me that he will vote question on the motion to proceed to debate the legislation. i have committed to him that if our republican colleagues don't obstruct and allow us to move forward on the debate, we'll take up his proposed substitute amendment. >> access to early voting by mail-in voting. also early voting and putting those voter id requirements in there. there was a lot of push and pull about that between the democrats and

it's gonna take a lot of all-caps tweets to people like chuck schumer.s, people are really tired right now, you know? it's been four years of this trauma. we've been locked in our homes for, going on, you know, eight months now. - these four years have been exhausting. i tried getting one of those sleep tracking apps, and the data showed that i died three years ago. - i really think that the baton needs to be passed to younger people, needs to be passed to non-white people. these are people that aren't going to kowtow to, like, mitch mcconnell and his turtle ass. and that's what the american people need right now-- someone to just blow shit up. i just want someone to do something, you know? i just wants democrats to quit being nut sacks, essentially. - you realize that the democrats move pretty slowly. - i know. - i mean, chuck schumer went to the bathroom last tuesday, and he still hasn't come out. someone should go check on him. [mellow music] - i first met ruth bader ginsburg on the telephone 48 years ago. and we soon became personal friends. she love

the bill won't get to his desk alone if nancy pelosi and chuck schumer don't want it to.sed a statement saying pelosi and chuck schumer need to say they won't link it. why? because there are 20 or so republican votes for the bill. mitch mcconnell doesn't have control of the republicans gang of ten. he will have control or more sway with the rest of the votes in the republican conference in the senate. that's really important. so if this continues to be linked on capitol hill and this bipartisan bill doesn't go to the president's desk without the reconciliation bill, another complication, yeah. i am not saying this is not going to happen, not making judgment at all whether it is going to happen, but we are months away from it being able to make an educated guess on whether it will happen, what it will look like, what the order of operations will be. >> jake sherman, usually the house pessimist sounding a little more optimistic. i would like to know, jake sherman showed up wearing a tie, he is no longer underground, where he normally is surrounded by terrible fluorescent li

chuck schumer says private industry cannot get us out of this.here does he think the means, where does he think those trillions came from? can another country raise that much money? no, and why can't they? because there is little in the way of productive private sector in those countries to borrow against. so, without the private industry that senator schumer says is unequal to this, there would be no federal spending plan in the first place. basically, what we are doing, the private industry creates all sorts of wealth. and the political class that creates a crisis gets to, basically, impose more central planning. we blew it in the first place. we are going to throw trillions more. we are going to let chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell and nancy pelosi and joe biden centrally plan our way out of it. the very notion is obnoxious. i have a supercomputer in my pocket that has more competing power, insulted by calling it a phone. it has more power than the spaceship that took us to the moon in the late 1960's. somehow, private industry can create all

chuck schumer bringing this up, knowing it was going to fail. it wasn't even clear until earlier this afternoon they were going to get manchin on board in the last few hours susan collins, republican of maine, saying that the rhetoric from democrats has been over the top. lisa murkowski also willing to buck her party, republican of alaska saying that this is a very partisan bill. i mean, this is the result of this as you have these republicans who voted to convict trump during impeachment, saying that this bill is garbage. >> well, i think one thing is clear. there is no version of a voting bill that republicans will support in this particular political climate. the question is should this version of the bill, the one that includes a lot of other things including anti-corruption efforts that even some democrats think are too broad, should that've been the thing that they decide to have a vote on? there could have been an opportunity to force this procedural vote on a piece of legislation, a version of this legislation that was designed to be mor
