a democratic group in congress says it won't charge on the package without a separate $1.00 trillion dollar bill. and president biden now is in room meeting while leaders ahead of the g 20 summit. he's also due to meet the pope in the coming hours. after the today gathering, he'll then head to glasgow for un climate. thomas argentine as far as in larry tier, luckily has appeared in court on spine charges. he's accused of ordering intelligence agencies to monitor the families of crew members and the submarine that sank 4 years ago. now, the case has been suspended on a legal technicality. daniel showing that reports, ah, it was more like a political rally than a court case with several 100 supporters of the former president mary's geometry gathered in the small town of the lord is. they believe he is innocent, that the charges against him politically motivated, how la jolla he can never have spied on any one. what's the point of listening to the families, they should be looking for those responsible for the submarine tragedy. i had a mother, i'm disgusted, they even started this case.

in the house there is support from most democrats but not all. a group of progressive members of the democratic party want congress to pass joe biden's three pointillion social package before the infrastructure one. that packet is also a key part of the president's agenda, including action on climate change as well as expanding health care and public education for americans. there is a lot of money on the table, a lot of political negotiating to be done, some of it within the president's party. here is how joe biden plans to fund all of this. >> he is arguing it will cost zero dollars. the two pieces of legislation together are north of $4.5 trillion. he says it is all paid for, plans to raise taxes on people earning more than $400,000, plans to raise corporate taxation as well, something that was cut under donald trump. in all of these calculations, you have a vague, and this will generate lots of economic growth and therefore lots of tax revenue, which no one really believes but people say and put in their calculations. that is what the republicans hang onto. this will add to the debt, bust the spending limits. that is something, when the repu

in u.s. history and even audits by pro-trump groups have found joe biden won, in some cases by wader margins than initially thought. trump issued plans where democrats regained full control of congress, guys, stay home, don't vote. meanwhile, ahead of next month's gubernatorial election in virginia, former president trump and steve bannon, his one-time adviser, are working to rally voters behind candidate glenn youngkin. last night trump phoned in and voiced support for youngkin. he predict deed feet for terry mcauliffe and predicted his false claim of victory in 2020. youngkin did not attend that event. joining us from "the hill," julia manchester. thank you for being here. let's start with the virginia race. polls show it to be tight. mcauliffe may be up slightly, which has wired democrats which saw joe biden up by one point last year. i will note one democratic strategist last night said trump's message not to vote is the best gift they could possibly receive. >> good morning, jonathan. it's interesting. obviously this race is very tight, and both sides are very much relying on this issue of turnout. it's ironic that president trump yesterday afternoon put out that message of not

groups. we will of course, keep you updated as and when we hear more on this developing situation in northern afghanistan, democrats in the u. s. congress are calling all light for kohls, for a crackdown on facebook following the claims of a company whistleblower. although it now turns out that francis hogan has close ties to the democrats, something she failed to mention, while demanding action against her. nie former employer case looks products harm children, stoked division and week in our democracy. the companies leadership knows how to make facebook and instagram saver a won't make the necessary changes because they have put their astronomical prophets for people. congressional action is needed. well, let's try on on tangle. the web front is hogan is being represented by a co founder of whistleblower aid. john tie, he served in the obama administration, the other co founder of the organization, which helps whistleblowers pay their li lawyers fees. he's mark zayna, he we know was a legal representative for one alexander vin men, a white house stuffer who testified in donald trump's 1st impeachment trial. max blumenthal editor in ch

democratic infrastructure proposal. but there's a problem. the bill is stuck in congress. democrats have linked that infrastructure bill to another bill with trillions in spending on child care, education and health care. problem is a group of moderate democrats say that $3.5 trillion bill is just too expensive and so the white house is negotiating to bring the total down to about $2 trillion and try to secure the support from two moderate democrats, senators joe manchin and kiersten sinema. >> 99% of my party, two, two people, that's still under way. i don't think there's been a president who's been able to close deals that's been in a position where he has only 50 votes in the senate and a bare majority in the house. it's a process. it's a process. we'll get it done. >> reporter: now, because democrats only have 50 votes in the senate, they need their entire caucus to get bills through the senate. republicans are united in their opposition. the president, white house staff have been meeting with house and senate democrats to try to figure out a way to construct these bills to attract enough support to get them through congress. progressive activists have been protesting those senators questioning senator sinema as she

head winds, the critical landscape of congress during the war, republicans, in the 1942 midterm elections next common cause with the group of conservative democrats in the house, blocking any extension of the new deal but roosevelt and the backers threaded the needle by presenting this as a new entitlement program, returning veterans from world war ii, have to use these benefits for a second time and they expire and it is a 1-time special program to help millions of returning veterans and a report for their services and sacrifices the the funny part is the one provision of the bill that is largely forgotten today proved the most controversial aspect. a lot of veterans choose not to look for a job, but live off the government for a year and that was a concern of the southern congressman with a large number of african-american veterans and their states, and that was the concern for them and almost derailed the bill at the last minute, it is in both houses garnering public support, what was the bill going to do over a several year period where they went into effect. >> going back, you find general omar bradley in place. what are the proposals for ch

and i include myself as the group of folks who were elected to deliver for the american people, because democrats won majorities in both houses of congress, in both chambers of congress, in order to materially improve people's lives. >> so the number that the president is floating and floated with progressives on this call last night is $1.9 trillion to $2.2 trillion. you say that you are focused on the priorities and getting elements in there. can you achieve those legislative priorities, get the programs in which you just highlighted in a $2.2 trillion bill? because everything comes with a price tag, right? i know you're going to talk about the priorities and the programs, but they all have a cost. can you do that for $2.2 trillion? >> it is true that they all have a cost. but there is a way to do it, right? so we can talk about the length of certain programs. we can talk about how many people are benefitting from certain programs. i'm a big proponent of universal child care, for example. i think that universal programs can withstand the test of time. look at the success of medicare and social security, which republicans have, despite

forth negotiations over the larger democratic biden agenda bill, also known as reconciliation in congress speak. the president is set to meet with two separate groupste side of things. one on the progressive side. both of the meetings will be this afternoon. they're meeting separately, so we're a ways away. biden met with senator manchin this morning as well as senator sinema. yesterday, manchin had meetings with congresswoman jayapal and senator sanders. progress can't be made until the folks get in the same room. maybe baby steps are taking place. shannon pettypiece joins me from outside the white house. at what point does shuttle diplomacy end and the president brings everyone into the same room? how close are we? >> reporter: well, the white house wants that to be very soon. they have indicated that the time for talk is winding down. it's time to actually get a deal. we have not seen the two groups in the room together, as you mentioned, at least not at the white house. press secretary jen psaki was asked about that a moment ago. she said there are conversations going on between moderates and progressives on the hill, outside the white house. y

group since the election think less of you than they did. the reality is president biden isn't the best advocate for what democrats in congress are trying to dors and elizabeth warren holding the town hall meetings. it is their agenda along with the most progressive members in the u.s. house that brad will have to try to get in line so he doesn't lose congressional seats next year. not an easy task for brad to do. the reality is president biden isn't the best advocate for such policies because his approval rating is so terrible. >> harris: there is no more argument about an outlier, by the way. i've heard that from some democrats. i don't think you would make that argument because you look at the polls. he is in trouble and under water and not just by the polls but by the issues. a.g. garland was pressed whether hunter biden used his dad's success to further his art career. ken buck displayed a hunter biden painting that sold for a half million dollars. as much as -- here is some of his exchange with the a.g. >> the third painting you may recognize is a hunter biden. in 2019 hunter biden couldn't find a gallery to list his art. what happened

democrats are supporting it and half of the dozen don't. the progressives do, but moderates don't. the progressive caucus in congress is the largest group in congress, if i'm not mistaken? >> that's correct. we are. we have 96 members in the house of representatives. this is not a progressives versus moderates debate. let me characterize it the way president biden characterized it. this is opportunity versus decay. the united states that's invest in a host of things that provide regular working families the opportunity to actually have a better life. a little bit of breathing space as he said the other day so people have child care and they can get back to work. so people have paid family leave so they can look after loved ones or themselves when they are ill. so people can feel like young people have a planet that they want to live on and we can house the richest people in the world. the longer we keep with the inequality, and by the way, another piece of the package, ali, is the tax system which the president has been great talking about. this is a zero dollar bill at the end of the day. it is all paid for by taxes on the wealthy and

in congress? >> to dilute minority representation, to dilute student representation. representation from groups that are more likely to vote democratic partisan effort to break up districts that would be likely to vote democratic, thus making them more competitive, especially in suburban areas for the republican vote. not only that, you're taking out at least one of two really dynamic, really vocal, really experienced good legislators in sheila jackson lee and al green, both of whom have substantial power. you're eliminating substantial power for those districts in the state of texas, but it's a partisan play to continue to tip texas more in favor of republicans. >> i hate having the both of them pitted against each other because they're both outstanding and so devoted and so experienced. susan, you heard one of them, the congresswoman, saying the gop has engaged with democrats in the past when redrawing district lines. so what's changed? >> looks like the texas legislature is just playing hard ball, and i will say this. when you compare the two districts, the current one is clearly gerrymandered. there is a long skinny line that hea

group with their story, and the lesson is, human dignity is a human right. >> joining us now is state representative charles graham, a democrat from north carolina. he's running for congress inarly hit home with people who watched it. it's super cool to see that part of american history, especially for those who hadn't heard it. what do you want voters to take away from that ad? what does a hayes pond response look like in today's very divided political climate? >> well, thank you, zerlina, for having me on your program tonight. first of all, let me say i'm the son of sharecroppers. i would be the first american indian elected to congressman of north carolina. let me tell you about the story of hayes pond. this story is about my community, a community that came together in 1958 to fight hatred and bigotry. and what we're seeing today is the same fight like on january 6th. the only difference is the insurrectionists were not wearing sheets. my representation will be about unifying our country against bigotry and hatred, and in my congressional district. my campaign will be about working and promoting working families and supporting businesses. >> in terms of the divided natio
