with us is msnbc news correspondent garrett haake. nst you. let's talk about what we heard last night from senator manchin, because he outlined his changes to the for the people act, changes that stacey abrams says she even supports. tell us how this scrambles the debate now in congress. >> reporter: manchin had wanted to give them a list of what he wanted. manchin has finally done that and his bill looks a lot like the for the people act. it makes elections a federal holiday, it makes automatic voter registration by motor vehicles, and it dropped something republicans really hated like the harvest provisions or things around federal funding of elections. this is a sweet spot for manchin. it's been fairly well received by his fellow democrats so far. >> how is it going to be received by republicans? because before this, there was that one republican we knew of, lisa murkowski, who was on board with it, but now you have senator mcconnell saying he's not for it at all, not that he was before it. >> reporter: yeah, senate republicans line

let's see if we can get it from garrett haake. ett, you are very good at giving the reality check. we know this hour on this channel is about reality check. not what you wish would happen but what's going to happen. when joe manchin talks about bipartisan support, is he talking about getting to 60 or talking about lisa murkowski and susan collins? that's question number one. >> reporter: yeah. i think it might be the ladder. susan collins is probably the person in the u.s. senate who joe manchin is closest to. there's the republican working group that's talking to the white house every day that's led by shelley moore-capito. for him, bipartisanship is a goal in and of itself, which sometimes obscures the actual policy goals that he is working on. he wants to bring people -- his friends along in the discussion. if you are the white house, if you are a democrat watching this, you are hanging your ray of hope here on manchin saying right now in his answer to me that he is not ready to do anything on a non-bipartisan basis, because it

dhs says they're still reviewing the report lester. >> garrett haake, thanks >>> authorities in this country and australia were able to break into an app used by criminals, and the result was a massive worldwide crackdown on suspected organized crime. here's erin mclaughlin >> reporter: tonight a global crackdown on organized crime. 800 criminals across 16 countries under arrest more than 30 tons of drugs and nearly $50 million worth of currency seized. the operation made possible thanks to encrypted devices the criminals thought they could trust. but they had actually been developed and were being controlled by the fbi with the help of the australian federal police >> in reality, the criminals were not underneath the radar they were on it. >> reporter: the system is called anom. the fbi made 12,000 available on the black market, advertising them as secure, encrypted devices. criminals used the devices to message each other, all the while unknowingly sending carbon copies of their messages to law enforcement. authorities sa criminals used the platform to communicate about everything

joining me now is nbc news' capitol hill correspondent garrett haake and news contributor anna palmerf you with us. garret, i'll start with you. the reaction on capitol hill to the president's meeting today, how is it playing out? >> a lot of republicans wanted the president to take a really hard line with vladimir putin when he met with him, including stepping up sanction on that nordstream gas pipeline into germany. they wanted to see this robust response. some of them coming away unsatisfied, perhaps none more so than tom cotton, who spoke on another network a few minutes ago. take a listen to this. >> if joe biden had gone into this summit from a position of strength, if he had not extended a very badly one-sided nuclear arms control agreement with russia, shut down that russia pipeline, we would have been in a much better position coming out of this summit as well. >> reporter: now, ayman, tom is on the far side of the spectrum on this issue. if president biden had come out with president putin in a head lock, it may not have been enough to satisfy cotton. jon cornyn told me that

. >> joining me now, nbc news capitol hill correspondent garrett haake, garrett, good to see you, my friend. the capitol police put out a statement today saying they had no specific credible intelligence on a large scale attack like we saw unfold on january 6th. what has been the response on capitol hill to this report's release and will anything actually get done about it? >> reporter: those qualifiers of specific and credible are doing a lot of work in the capitol police statement, because of course this report does say the capitol police did have information, they just did a poor job of disseminating it. the report itself has gotten bipartisan plaudits, it's a thorough set of findings about intelligence failures here on the capitol, with some recommendations how to improve those. there is a split between mostly democrats and republicans who say this report is a good start but as senator klobuchar is saying there, it would need to go much further to get all the answers. i asked chuck schumer about this at his press conference a few minutes ago and here is what he told me. they put

let me bring in garrett haake. what's the deal with any movement here. this looks like it was going nowhere. maybe it is going somewhere, but what is the destination? i think the first rule of infrastructure week is that hope springs eternal. and with the end of the conversation -- >> do we not talk about it? >> now, we talk about infrastructure week all of the time, hallie. so with the end of this conversation yesterday, the negotiations that have been blessed, they are trying to reach out with their own alternatives. that was close to the level of spending. it doesn't include any information about how they would pay for it. secondly there is a group of about 20 bipartisan senators and about ten of them have been intensely focused on this issue. they met for several hours, and they were getting close on the top line number. perhaps around that trillion dollar mark. they, too, are struggling to come up with ways to pay for this. the republican ideas, taking money that was allocated but not spent. user fees for highway and other infrastructure, it was rej

joining us now, nbc news white house correspondent monica alba and garrett haake. garrett, i'll begin with you. what is happening now between president biden and senator capito? >> reporter: capito is not arriving with another offer, sent the last republican counteroffer to the white house late last week. without stepping on monica's toes, there's no belief that the president is coming in with his own offer here. both of these politicians have been praising each other as good faith negotiators in this. both want to see a bipartisan deal. mitch mcconnell said that capito has his full authority and confidence to continue these negotiations, but the two sides remain very far apart. hundreds of billions of dollars apart in infrastructure spending goals and really on two different planets in terms of infrastructure spending where the money comes from. the white house's suggestions about roadwaying corporate tacks have fallen on deaf ears with republicans, republicans' suggestions about using unspent covid relief money isn't something that they want to do. it's not entire

garrett haake is on capitol hill. shannon pettypiece is with me here. garrett, it was a few days ago you openly expressed and explained your skepticism. it seems as if you may have been right. now you have this bipartisan group of senators trying to work out a deal. i understand you just spoke a couple of senators in that group. what did they tell you? >> reporter: that's right. i managed to catch up with a couple of them, including joe manchin, the other west virginia senator picking up. this group met for three hours last night. they have released no details of their plans, except they are trying to build on what capito started. find something that gets closer to the president's goals. but without raising taxes. it's a very difficult alchemy they are trying to put together. manchin and romney expressed optimism about their chances. >> the template she has is something everybody is working off of. >> reporter: it got rejected by the white house. >> everybody had a good meeting last night. it was productive. >> reporter: if this doesn't work, would you b

garrett haake is at the capitol. garrett, this time the backlash is from a tweet earlier this week >> reporter: that's right, lester. democratic congresswoman ilhan omar is under fire for this tweet she sent summarizing an exchange with secretary blinken on monday "we have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the u.s., hamas, israel, afghanistan, and the taliban," she wrote. that led a dozen jewish democrats to blast her seeming comparison of the u.s. and israel to terrorist groups as "as offensive as it is misguided" and urging her to clarify after an intense backlash she did so today, writing "i was in no way equating terrorist organizations with democratic countries." tonight nancy pelosi and democratic leadership issuing a rare joint statement criticizing omar for drawing false equivalencies and welcoming her correction, clearly hoping to put this episode behind them. lester >> all right, garrett, thank you. >>> the world's largest beef supplier paid millions to ransomware hackers who breached its computer net

so, garrett haake who is joining us now here onset, is that it? drat ma or the saga for this? >> democrats hope sew. this statement was part of a thank you for clarifying. she had another statement of support later in the day for house progressives that point out it is the one of the few black female muslim members getting jumped on by republicans in these moments, but lest you think this is entirely over, the senate committee just sent out an e-mail while i have been sitting here calling out senators with democratic senators and democratic senate candidates for not condemning her comments. they would like to make her into the democrat verse of marjorie taylor green. >> garrett haake, thank you. coming up, we're going back to the sundaying move that trump's department of justice secretly investigated democratic members of congress. we're talking about that with an expert, coming up. ing about than expert, coming up. because we're the engineers who built the most reliable network in america. thousands of smarter towers, with the 5g coverage you nee

let's begin with garrett haake and kimberly atkins, senior

i'm garrett haake. here at home there is breaking news.o comment. we will speak to one of the reporters this hour. >>> and overseas,

garrett haake has the latest from the hill. nbc's mike memoli is standing by for us at the white house. garrett, i will start with you. set the stage for us. where are we right now in this infrastructure negotiation process? we don't know a lot about the bipartisan proposal. some democrats seem to be pressing forward on going at it without republicans. what about that $6 trillion plan progressives are floating? >> reporter: the infrastructure effort is still proceeding on two parallel tracks. bipartisan negotiations about hard infrastructure, what potentially enough senators from the two parties could agree to, to do in a bipartisan way. a separate track about everything else democrats want to see get done on the president as infrastructure and families related agenda that republicans won't support. we expect to get the details of what's in that bipartisan proposal probably on monday. that's eagerly awaited at the white house as well. the reconciliation package, that's the other stuff that democrats want that they think they can

joining us, peter alexander, garrett haake, john bresnahan, and la tasha brown. garrett, we know the bill is going nowhere. it is going to get blocked. what do democrats hope to get out of this and what happens next? >> reporter: democrats hope it is blocked on 50/50 instead of 49-51. they want to demonstrate they're unified as a party supporting the issues pushing forward. most tenets in the for the people act, a little debate over whose version is going forward, house passed or joe manchin version. they want to put pressure on republicans nationwide and want to put pressure on some of their own members on the issue of filibuster. it is clear no voting bill is going to pass the senate at a 60 vote threshold. one of the things we'll see from democrats and progressive activists around the country, if the vote is a 50/50 vote, increasing pressure on democrats to get rid of the filibuster, put legislation like this through the senate on democratic votes alone. >> john, here's what i don't get. why are democrats so focused on pushing the vote and showing the world tha

joining me now is correspondent garrett haake. as we expected, this escalated quickly.tion from the democratic leadership? >> reporter: for folks just tuning in, i would urge you to look at the tweet and the video that's associated with it. the video provides context that i think is a little absent in the tweet and is part of how we got here. >> shocking. >> reporter: has that ever happened before? >> never. >> reporter: jumping back to what i think will be the end of the controversy for now, this statement coming out from a unified group of democratic leadership, including speaker pelosi, says two things, really. it says that congresswoman omar has the right and we in a democracy have the necessity of criticizing democrat says -- democracies. they welcomed she wasn't trying to make a moralequivalency, which appeared to be the case in the tweet. remember, omar has become something of a foil for republicans. there was a vote that dealt with bigotry based on previous comments she made. the hope from democratic leadership is clear. they welcome this clarification from omar

but senate democrat joe manchin tells nbc's garrett haake that's a bad idea. >> right now basically wean. i've never seen a pothole that had a republican or democrats' name on it. >> there's more of his interview with senator manchin. garrett, good to see you again. let's start with this piece left off. you're watching senator manchin about his view on infrastructure. what is the end game here? if a bipartisan plan doesn'tie -- emerge and he doesn't support democrats going it alone, what is the message? >> right now it's his colleague shelley moore capito leading the republicans. it's possible he wants to get in the mix with that group. it's not clear that either can get to 60 votes in the senate, but he tells me he's committed to talking for as long as it takes to get done. his fellow democrats clearly disagree. >> so he does not share the same white house timeline about getting this infrastructure deal across the line. you also asked him about his meeting next tuesday with civil rights leaders about the push for voting rights legislation on the hill. let's listen to that exchange. >>

joining us to break it down is capitol hill correspondent garrett haake, and our political coauthor eugene with you, it is a misnomer to refer to the two infrastructure deals as bills, because there is no text for them, but mitch mcconnell is laying down the marker, and he says that pelosi and schumer have to de-link the infrastructure and reconciliation proposals, these packages, but he knows better than anybody that they don't have the votes unless they move them together. >> right. taking it apart, as you point out, more detail in a cheesecake factory menu than either of the proposals as they exist right now. neither are bills. they are both ideas getting worked through. the bipartisan proposal especially is top line numbers, but the staff are hard at work at it even now, because the time line here is so short. mitch mcconnell has known for months that the reconciliation bill is coming, and he has talked about it on the floor, and answered questions about it at press conferences, and he knew that bipartisan deal might be necessary, because as he has said himself the democrats had the vo

garrett haake, i know you spoke to senator manchin. >> what was president biden's message to you abouton. he and i had a very good conversation. >> did he ask you to vote for this bill? >> it was a very respectful conversation. >> are you going to go out and try to find republican votes. >> i always try to. >> garrett haake, since that interview, you put the pressure on him to clarify that he would vote yet. what does manchin see as the path forward, if he truly believes, as it appears he does, that our democracy is under attack? >> reporter: manchin seems to think there might be republican votes for a narrower set of remedies including things like making election day a federal holiday, to expanding early voting, expanding access -- same-day voter registration. i have to tell you, nicolle, my reporting throughout the rest of the day, the rest of this week is that joe manchin is probably wrong on that account. republicans have r are as unified as we've ever seen them. i asked mitch mcconnell about this today, other republicans about it in the last few days, they are fundamentally dead s

we start this hour with reporter shannon pettypiece, garrett haake. we also have the brennan center for justice at the university school of law, that's wendy wiser, and carol anderson. she's also the author of "one person, no vote: how voter suppression is destroying our democracy." shannon, we'll start with you. what are we expecting to hear from the attorney general, and his policy address today, should this be read as a tacit acknowledgment that this legislation likely isn't going to pass through congress? >> what we know from the justice department is he's going to announce some concrete steps that the justice department said they can take that they said would secure the fundamental voting rights of all americans. now, what the justice department can do from the executive branch versus what can be done through the legislative branch, that is something for lawyers and general counsels in the executive branch to figure out amongst themselves. i'm sure they have been spending a locality of time on that in anticipation of this. but even before we kind

garrett haake following the new fallout. coming after that 93-page report noting capitol police leaders were warned that trump supporters were talking about how to infiltrate the capitol. leadership failed to act on those threats. what are we hearing from the union? what are we hearing from police leadership? >> reporter: the union statement is damning of the current leadership and the leadership in place on january 6th. it's particularly focused on the acting chief who was at the time of the insurrection attempt the head of the intelligence unit for the department. the person really in the crosshairs would would have had the information and been responsible for disseminating it to the front line officers and folks who were trying to lead them on january 6. the department or the leadership of the department have not yet commented on the union's statement here. it should be pointed out that pitman lost a no confidence vote of officers earlier in the year. she's in an acting capacity. her deputy is in an acting capacity. there

. >> our own nbc news colleague garrett haake who you just saw there will join us for more in a moment. biden signalled to republicans he could take a proposed corporate tax increase off the table if they shep $1 trillion in new spending as any bipartisan deal. today the white house suggested there's no firm deadline to get the deal done. >> does he see monday for breakthroughs on where the talks are going? >> no. he's going to continue to have conversations with democrats and republicans about what the path forward may look like. we're not hear to set new deadlines. we're going to continue those conversations. >> meanwhile, the president has weighed in on the fight over the january 6th independent commission, firmly ruling out appointing his own presidential panel. the white house issued a statement that reads in part, members of congress swore an oath to defend and constitution of the united states and the president believes they can and must do that by putting politics aside and supporting a full and transparent investigation. and now senator ron johnson, the republican from wiscons

nbc news capitol hill correspondent garrett haake joins us now. what is the state on that?> andrea, will get significantly less support from republicans than the commission, a non-partisan effort to investigate the same thing. he came out strongly against this committee vote when he spoke to us last night and here's john katko told us. >> i am very disappointed and this is what i was concerned about that we would not have a balanced, look at benghazi. it got nowhere. >> you mentioned kinzinger and cheney. there are two ways they could end up on this committee. speaker pelosi gets eight unilateral picks and you expect to see five republicans, at least, but the speaker's office has indicated that speaker pelosi is at least open to the possibility of selecting a republican with one of her picks here. both kinzinger and cheney through spokespeople have said that's a choice that the speaker would make and they didn't dismiss it out of hand, andrea. it is a little sorkin-esque and it is possible that one of those republican critics of the former president could end up as a democr

garrett haake has more for us from the capitol. >> reporter: tonight, infrastructure negotiations entering a new phase. with president biden ending talks with a group of republicans led by senator shelley moore capito on tuesday and reaching out to members of a bipartisan group of moderate senators. the group huddling for three hours in a cramped capitol basement office last night. >> we've come together with a proposal that may be able to bridge the gap between the two sides. >> reporter: the senators haven't released any details of their proposal except that it won't raise taxes at all, a red line for attracting gop votes that a difficult task with republicans opposed to much of the president's initial plan this as frustration builds among some democrats to drop bipartisan talks and move to pass as much as they can with just 50 democratic votes, itself a work in progress >> if this doesn't work, would you be willing to go it alone with a democrat-only option >> i never give up neve today they only have about a week to get a deal lester >> garrett, thank you. >>> now to the record migrant

garrett haake is in morgan. >> dale: virginia. mike, let's start with you. we heard from president biden. how does this build momentum behind the president's economic agenda? >> reporter: craig, if you remember the jobs report a month ago, white house was very much on the defensive then. jobs were weaker than expectations. now you have the white house -- you heard from the president a more bullish tone, an opportunity to tout what they see as a broader trend here of robust economic growth. the president highlighting on a day when there's so many statistics and data points, economic terms, some of the ordinary ways in which americans are seeing an economy that's back on the move, as he put it. that the united states is seeing because of the success, as he put it, of the covid relief plan, the ability to return to the economy, caregiving is an option back on the table for americans. ultimately, schools being reopened. we can't separate this from the context of the debate that's happening in washington right now about the president's infrastructure plan. you he

just that, the senators behind it trying to make sure this is not about pointing fingers, nbc's garrett haakeon capitol hill and so far it's a tale of two stories when it comes to lawmakers more interested in here. >> let's put the two pieces together here. dr. fauci has become on the right if you can zoom any right wing media and follow the far right pro trump members of congress on social media, dr. fauci has become a villain for his roles in lockdowns, procedural and lock downs in states during the depth of the covid crisis and perceived lack of interest in the lack leak theory of the qualify, something fauci addressed in the podcast saying he thinks it's a remote possibility but a possibility nonetheless. rally in new jersey a support senators menendez and collins have to create a 9/11 style commission to investigate everything about the covid pandemic, both its origins and how it was handled in the u.s. and how it's handled across the globe. the challenge for that politically while there are republicans who would like to delve further into the questions of the virus' origin we hear it al

and garrett haake is on capitol hill for us. how much do we know so far?: frankly, very little. the closest analog would be the benghazi committee, republicans still running the house, and in that case you had a 7-5 party breakdown, you had a republican chair, and you had democrats at the time in the minor it i really having a debate amongst themselves about how significantly they wanted to play a role in this, did they want to a point all the members that they were entitled to, serious members, partisan members. they ended up going the more serious route with ranking members of various committees on that select committee. republicans will have a choice, to they want to put their most partisan members on this committee, do they want to use people who have been involved in any of the other committees who have been investigating this at defendant levels to try to make sure that they have subject matter experts, or do they appoint anyone at all and try to say that this is merely a partisan exercise. so decisions to both sets of party leaders. but we did expec

i bring in garrett haake on capitol hill.s of a question on whether this will pass at all because it probably will. bigger question is who is going to be on it, with news coming out this morning whether the house speaker might name a republican to the committee, there is speculation might leader mccarthy name somebody on his side margerie taylor green, is that out of the realm of possibility? >> i don't think it is out of the realm of possibility. the drama is not whether it will be created but who will be the members, the chairperson and so on. the way the committee is expected to break down, speaker pelosi has written into this bill she gets eight unilateral picks for this committee, five picks in consultation with the minority leader, effectively republican picks. pelosi aide has let it be known that the speaker is at least considering the possibility of appointing a republican which would shift in theory the balance to be a little bit closer to neutral and has a certain sorkin-esque element to it. there may not be that ma

. >> let's cross over to capitol hill and bring in nbc news correspondent garrett haake and anna palmer contributor. garrett, i'll begin with you. 35 house reap chance voted for an independent commission but very few republicans support a select committee. what has changed on that front? >> this is a different beast. in fact, a number of republicans who vote for the commission said they were doing so in the hopes that they who not end up with a select committee. the idea of the commission was for it to be bipartisan or really non-partisan with, you know, law enforcement types essentially conducting a proper investigation in that manner. the select committee will be staffed by lawmakers, more democrats than republicans. it will by its very nature be a political body though it will hopefully produce -- >> i'm so sorry to interrupt you. i'm going to jump into for a quick moment because we're getting live pictures of bill cosby who has now entered his home. we're looking at aerial pictures from our affiliate there in pennsylvania. this was a short time ago after he was released from prison.

garrett haake in west virginia and ron insana. this was really anticipated. you are looking at 559,000 jobs added below where the expectations were, right? something like 670,000. the unemployment rate fell. people are making more an hour from frill to may and overall what we have seen in the trend of the past year. unemployment is still high for people of color. more than 9% for black workers. and it comes to who's hiring leisure and hospitality doing good business and education. that's a backdrop to the remarks to hear from president biden in if he is on time in 15 minutes from now. >> reporter: a big if you remember well. you remember how much the white house was put on the defensive by the weaker than expected jobs report. this report short of expectations but much more in line with the broader trend and what the white house is choosing to focus on here. in fact we just got a tweet from the president saying he added 559,000 jobs in may. created 2 million in the first 4 months. america is on the move again. that's the message from the president arguing as

. >>> and joining us now from nbc's capitol hill correspondent, garrett haake. this thing hanging together today? it seems to be from the two senators we talked to. >> reporter: today it is. andrea, there is a long, long way to go until either one of these bills can get to the president's desk and become law. and i think that's the challenge here, trying to keep the democratic caucus together is only, frankly, the easiest piece of this puzzle, trying to make sure the republicans necessary on the bipartisan bill hang together and trying to avoid anything that can derail a presidential agenda item that depends on every single congressional democrat voting together, and every single congressional democrat staying focused on this through september is incredibly challenging task. but today, one monday into the discussions since they've reached this deal, it's still on track. >> exactly. and, dan, you wrote about the long road ahead. they have to start having votes in september. at the same time as they do have to start the process for reconciliation, which is a diffe

let's begin with garrett haake and kimberly atkins, senior opinion writer at the boston globe. welcome both. garrett, hit both big issues. where are we with the latest on infrastructure talks and what are the realistic options on democrats on voting rights. >> i'll do the voting rights bill because it is short. there are no realistic options to move that bill through the united states senate. 50 republican votes opposed and even the usual moderate republican senators who side with democrats and other key issues like lisa murkowski and susan collins spoke out against this bill yesterday. republicans say it's a federal takeover of elections and they don't like the changes that it makes at a federal level and things like voter i.d. laws and the fcc, you name it. they're not for it unless democrats can find votes to get rid of the filibuster which we talked about ad nauseam and know they do not presently have, that bill goes nowhere. on infrastructure it's a different story although with a similar refrain. the challenge there remains what it has always been. how do you pay for up to

. >> joining us now, capitol hill correspondent garrett haake. you spoke to joe manchin. were down in west virginia. how are democrats reacting to what he wrote in the hometown paper? >> they are thoroughly displeased, andrea. marchin has not been shy in making his opposition to this legislation and getting rid of the filibuster which would have been required for this bill to get a vote in the first place, well known, but liberal, progressive members have long thought they could pressure joe manchin pointing out that the civil rights community want to see this bill passed and 49 of his democratic senators have co-sponsored him and he would see the light as more and more states with republican-controlled legislatures pass restrictive bills and limiting voting rights in those states and manchin again, doubling down as he did with my interview last week when he said this bill web a disaster in the making and progressives are very unhappy and here are the responses i've been hearing today. >> please, mr. manchin. vote to limit debate so we can set a date and have an up and do

today as a pedestrian bridge came crashing down garrett haake is on the scene. >> reporter: tonight, a curtain of concrete and steel falling across a washington, d.c. highway, with five people injured and lucky to be alive after a pedestrian bridge collapsed >> oh, man >> reporter: officials believe this large truck struck the bridge just before noon, pulling it down on top of three lanene the district's border with maryland. debris smashing windshields, trapping the truck and forcing following drivers like freddy cuello to react instantly. >> what was going through your head? did you have time to think at all or just slammed on the brakes? >> i was just thinking i'm about to die >> you thought you were going to die? >> yes >> reporter: d.c. police say none of the injuries were life-threatening and no pedestrians on the bridge when it came down. >> we don't have any structural concerns about the bridge when it was last inspected last february. >> reporter: the incident reminiscent of a fatal pedestria bridge collapse in south florida in 2018. >> oh, my god. >> reporter: in that case

in west virginia correspondent garrett haake. also with us politico white house editor and contributor sam stein and donna edward, a "the washington post" columnist and a msnbc contributor is with us. garrett, tell me about joe manchin's view as not just being singled out by the president this week but really being the person holding up legislation that has wide support from the american public. >> reporter: he's the first hurdle for that legislation if we're talking about voting rights because of course democrats would need to get to 50, maybe get to 60 if they don't do away with filibuster. you heard it from manchin. he thinks this works for him in west virginia. this is a state that donald trump won more than comfortably twice now. a state where manchin is the last democrat playing in this sand box and i think he will trust his own judgment here and facing pressure from progressives that will only grow. not just on voting rights where he is the only democratic senator who doesn't support the for the people act but we could see

. >> let's turn to nbc news capitol hill correspondent, garrett haake, who's been reporting on this story. garrett, good morning. good to see you. so tentative understanding, not exactly a resounding conclusion to these negotiations, but what are they talking about here? what is this framework? and as always with this negotiation, how are they going to pay for it? >> well, willie, i spoke to susan collins about this late yesterday, and she made a point of warning me not to overstate where they are on this. i appreciate the caveat at the top here. they still -- this group of ten senators, five republicans, five democrats, know they have to sell what they've come up with, not just to their respective caucuses, but also to the white house if they're going to get anywhere. and i think that's some of the hesitation here. what i can tell you is in this plan is it gets up above $1 trillion in total spending, particularly when you stretch it out over the eight-year mark. that's kind of a deal that was worked out with the biden administration, whether it was going to be five years or eight years,

we're here with garrett haake, good morning, listen, democrats have a long list of agenda items they want to get done with voting rights, infrastructure, climate change, health care, and there has been movement in the last 24 to 48 hours on some of this. >> met he will try to knock these down in order. it will almost certainly fail on a 50/50 republican democratic split vote. for democrats, that is progress, why 1234 they have joe manchin. they think he will vote to get to start debate. if republicans block it, they are going forward on where they are. this is another bipartisan project that i'm most bullish on. how police officers could be held accountable for specific types of offenses. it is detail oriented stuff. the fact that they're in that deep is a goon sign. on infrastructure and climate change we're waiting what president biden is going to stay. we expect to see more details about it on monday. and democrats now know that the aca will be safe for the time being and there is significant debate on how best to built on it. do you expand medicare. but it appears that houring th

i'm garrett haake. here at home there is breaking news. stunning revelations that the trump administration subpoenaed apple. the justice department declined to comment. we will speak to one of the reporters this hour. >>> and overseas, president biden sitting across from boris johnson where climate and china are all on the table. >>> and first lady biden and the duchess of cambridge getting to know each other. before andrea asked kate about the newest member of the royal family. >> do you have any wishes for your new niece? >> i wish her the very best. i can't wait to meet her. hopefully that will be soon. >> now let's bring in andrea mitchell, the host of this broadcast. we are going to hear more about your meeting with kate. what are you hearing from these initial meetings? >> the initial meetings are focused heavily on the pandemic, on covid, the fact that the g7 contributing a billion dollars. the u.s. got in first last night with the 5 million doses -- 500 million doses coming from the u.s. last night. a big push to try to deal with t

of senators have taken the baton in search of an infrastructure deal according to my colleague, garrett haakereached something of what they're calling an ai general agreement. i have a member of this bipartisan group with me right now, senator jon tester. senator tester, we've heard from collins, from romney, two of our reporters. what? are you as close as they are saying you are? >> look, chuck, i think we're very, very close. and i think generally agreement is the right way to put it. i think there are still some outliers that haven't been agreed upon totally. but we're very, very close. and i'm hopeful that we can get something nailed down, hopefully by the end of the day if not next week. >> you took some form of taxes off the table. can you give us a hint as to what ideas are in it? >> part of what i'm concerned about is that maybe what we're pronging on the up ins, on the pay fors, because they're not taxes. they're fees. they're funds. they're different vasts or pots of money that we can draw out of. and, chuck, i would love to tell you each and every one of them. it's kind of washingt

joining me now is garrett haake.ore his colleagues on this committee. what did we learn? >> the witness list today didn't include a current athlete, but included cory booker who played college football for stanford. listen to what he said. >> it is a de facto for profit industry exploiting men and women taking advantage of their genius and artistry. what is going on is quiet injustice. if we delay, justice delayed is justice denied. >> there are a lot of issues tangled up in this, like medical care. there is also issues of fairness in college sports. lock at the states that have passed these laws allowing for players to get paid for name image and likeness. a lot of states with power football teams in them. so there is a question about putting a national standard in place to keep fairness across college sports. you heard from a number of lawmakers perhaps it needs to be the federal government acting now to set a national standard that is high enough to protect athletes, but broad enough across the country that it's f

let's go to garrett haake. >> joe manchin has been firm on these types of things.ive, but also pointed out this is the start of relationship building which is not necessarily the position you want to be in when you are trying to whip someone on a specific piece of legislation. the start of the conversation that perhaps it might be constructive down the line on a bill that senator manchin might support. but no movement on the senator on the "for the people" act. >> thanks, garrett. we will be following that through you. >> and now senator chris coons. joe manchin saying he was not changing his mind on it, but is the voting rights bill dead? >> it was disappointing news that joe manchin is not going to support the bill. i know joe well. we have served together for over a decade. now that we know where he stands, we need to get to work to see how we can get to work with joe manchin to get president biden's bold bills on infrastructure and on voting rights. >> what you witnessed, does the january 6 report answer your questions or should there be a last minute question

garrett haake, thank you so much! >> thank you, garrett. >> greatly appreciate it.t reconfirm something for people who might be watching and are very frustrated with senator manchin. as alexi said, he was a governor. as walter, anybody else who's seen somebody who has been a governor and a senator will tell you, governors remain governors. even when you call them senators. like, and they believe in making the legislative body work. he also comes from a state that voted for donald trump. 69% voted for donald trump. he's not a coward, because if he were a political coward, like people were saying on twitter, then after sandy hook, he wouldn't have started pushing gun safety legislation in west virginia. that was a really courageous thing to do. and the got re-elected, even after taking on the nra. let's see somebody without courage doing that. but hr-1 is not going to pass. and by the way, i just -- i hate to break that to people that are watching this, it is a -- it is not going to pass, as is. there are going to have to be some radical revisions and much more the mi

we have garrett haake and former political leader.ned from mcgahn's testimony? >> i think the biggest substance was hearing from mcgahn about trump wanting to fire mueller, and mcgahn said he wouldn't do that, and the stories the white house was trying to push out that the idea that trump wanted to fire him was false, were lies. but the way democrats see it is that this protects the ability of the house to go get this information in the first place. this was a years-long court fight. it took the subpoena to mcgahn all the way up and back through the justice department, through the entire judicial system here, and speaker pelosi said this was a victory for the defense of democracy. filed this one away as an and the ability of the house to go after even testimony from the closest of aides to that president. >> and, danny, speaking to the specific substance of the testimony, as garrett and i both know from having covered the trump impeachment from top to bottom, if jerry nadler had gotten his account, how would that change the public rec
