and i do want to thank sandra garza and gladys sicknick, again, for trusting us with that interview. i want to bring in the panel right now to talk about what we just heard. paul, your reaction. you hear these two very strong women, grieving women, frustrated, begging republicans in the senate to vote, just to create a commission to look into what happened when the capitol was attacked. and yet, 35 of them voted against it. >> just amazing grace under extraordinary pressure that mrs. sicknick just showed there, jake, in that interview. every parent's nightmare, every partner's nightmare. >> i can't hear paul, so let's -- we lost paul's audio. s.e., let's go to you. i know you're disappointed at your party and how they voted today. 35 republicans voting against it. nine republicans not even bothering to show up to vote. >> well, my question to the republican party would be, what are you here for? what is your function? if not to, you know, preserve the republic and protect american democracy? if you have no curiosity about what happened on january 6th, first of all, i think it's just

gladys sicknick said, "i couldn't stay quiet anymore." officer brian sicknick was forced into hand-to-hand combat with the trump mob for hours. he then suffered two strokes and died in the hospital the next day. gladys sicknick sent a statement to every republican member of the united states senate, asking every one of them for a meeting, especially the senators planning to vote against the commission, to ask them why they were going to vote against the commission that would investigate her son's death. in a republican senate full of mccarthys, most of them refused to meet with gladys sicknick. some of them had their staffs offer to meet with gladys sicknick. the staff whose safety they do not care about. gladys sicknick does not have the experience that joe manchin has in dealing with republican senators, and so she went to the senate today with high hopes. >> do you think you can change minds today? >> i hope so. i hope so. brian had a work ethic like second to none, and he was just there for -- for our country and for these guys, and h

there you see gladys sicknick.n brian sicknick the capitol police officer who was on duty during the january insurrection and then suffered two strokes and died the next day. now, the senate is expected to vote as soon as today on an independent bipartisan commission to write the definitive account of what happened on january 6th, but with the republican filibuster looking likely in the senate sicknick's long time partner and his mom are making a last minute plea to change minds. >> if they look at the footage that happened it's very obvious that that was not a peaceful day. police officers were getting attacked, they were getting beaten, fire extinguishers were thrown in the them, they were being attacked by flag poles, mike and officer dunn here -- i should say -- >> gladys sicknick says she couldn't stay quiet anymore. you might have heard there she was asked a question about a statement that she sent to republican lawmakers. now, in that statement she says her son, quote, fought for hours and hours against thos

some of whom, yesterday, met with gladys sicknick, the mother of capitol police officer brian sicknick, who died after defending the capitol, including the 35 lawmakers, who today, with their vote, said they just weren't interested. this afternoon, jake tapper talked to ms. sicknick and officer sicknick's life partner, sandra garza, about their reaction to the failed vote. >> i was disappointed but i realized that was going to happen. i really did. it was just vibes that we got yesterday. >> what were the vibes? >> i don't know. just -- just a feeling. that, you know, they -- they did -- they went through the motions. but you can tell it, you know, underneath, they were being nice to us. yeah. >> you know, we hear a lot about backing the blue from politicians, especially. we talk about the importance of backing our men and women in blue who protect us. what does it mean, in that sense, when -- because you -- you know you aring a e going to some of these 35 republicans talk about, in the future, how important it is to back our men and women in blue. what will you think when you hear tha

officer brian sicknick's mother, gladys, has sent a statement to mitch mcconnell and every republicaning them to meet with her to explain their opposition to a january 6th commission. in her statement to republican senators, gladys sicknick says that her son quote, died because it's the insurrectionists who stormed the capitol building on january six. glad astigmatic said that her son fought for hours and hours against those animals who are trying to take over the capital building and our democracy, as we know it. not having a january 6th commission to look into exactly what occurred is a slap in the face of all the officers who did their jobs that day. because of what they did, the people in the building were able to go home that evening and be with their families. brian and many other officers ended up in the hospital. i suggest that all congressmen and senators who are against this bill visit my son's grave in arlington national cemetery and, while there, think about what they're hurtful decisions will do to those officers who will be there for them going forward. joining our discu

gladys sicknick went on to say this. said, not having a january 6 commission to look into exactly what occurred is a slap in the faces of all the officers who did their job that day. how are republicans responding to this, leigh ann? >> reporter: republicans i spoke to said it would be a slap in the face necessary don't meet with glad i can sick -- gladys sicknick. they said they would if it passed their desk. last week they were talking about the structure of the commission but yesterday mitch mcconnell made it very clear why he doesn't want to support this commission, saying it is inherently political and will be used as a political ploy by democrats, especially leading into the midterm elections next year. now, a senior republican aide told me that democrats want to continue to talk about the former president next year in the midterm elections, and republicans don't. they want to move on. they don't want it to be a focus, and so there is nothing good, they think, that can come out of the commission. they said the trut

she accompanied gladys sicknick. >> it was an honor to accompany gladys sicknick and garza and officeranied her. they very forcefully told their story of why they feel it's important not just for the officers and to back the blue and to honor them and how they protected their lives that day, but also for country and for history. so it was a tough day for this family. you know, we were very pleased to meet with, you know, senators such as mitt romney and susan collins and lisa murkowski who made it very clear they're going to support this commission. and lisa murkowski really apologized to mrs. sicknick that she even had to come and do this. but as gladys said, i'm usually in the background. this is not the kind of thing she could do, but she couldn't stay quiet anymore. >> you also met with senators johnson, scott, graham. what reason if any do you have to believe that their minds were changed? >> well, we did meet with some others, and there are others we certainly hope will be supportive. this investigation is going to happen no matter what, whether it's this commission or another ty

mike braun who plans to meet with gladys sicknick told me that's not going to change his vote at thend of the day, he believes the commission is unnecessary. expect democrats to lead the investigation once republicans do block this come thursday despite what everyone experienced here, this outside commission almost certainly doesn't appear like it's going to happen. manu raju, cnn, capitol hill. >>> the u.s. president is ordering intelligence agencies to ramp up efforts to figure out where the coronavirus came from and he is expecting a report in 90 days. his administration is under pressure to get answers after new reporting from cnn and other news outlets indicates it's possible the virus escaped from a chinese laboratory. the u.s. intelligence report also found several researchers at china's institute of virology were hospitalized in november 2019, which adds to the mystery. kaitlan collins has details. >> reporter: president biden now calling on the u.s. intelligence community to intensify its investigation into the origin of covid-19. >> this is incredibly important. >> reporter

i join in gladys sicknick's recommendations, my republican colleagues should visit his grave. >>> letask you what the justice depend has found, 450 family, at least 10% of those defendants have ties to the u.s. military. government statistics say people linked to the military only make up about 6% of the total u.s. adult population. how disturbing is this in your view? and what should be done about this? >> very troubling. i've asked some of our top military leaders, including the secretary of defense, about potential involvement. active duty military in the insurrection, but also in white supremacy and violent extremism. he has promised that not only will he look into this issue, but also that they will take steps to eliminate white supremacy and violent extremism in the military. it probably is only the tiniest fraction of our active duty service members. they are dedicated to keeping us safe and they have served and sacrificed. i deepry respect their patriotism, but this tiny fraction, however many it is, has to be identified and rooted out of the military. i have emphasized repeat

did you get that sense as well that they were not sincere as gladys just said a few moments ago? >> well, it was clear with a number of the senators we met with, and they made it clear they were not going to be supporting the commission. fortunately, and we certainly do want to thank the six members who did vote in favor of it. we started the day with senator romney, met with susan collins and lisa murkowski who very beautifully talked about why this was so important to do this but it was a tough day for the family and i was honored to be with them and they were very strong in their conversations with the senators. in fact, sandra gomez who was there, you know, pointed out to these senators, you know, brian was a republican. brian was a trump supporter. he loved you guys. and this is in their honor, you know, to back the blue and be there to have the back of these police officers who saved their lives and the officers pointed out to them it was only because they were so successful fighting on the front lines, you know, really kind of hand-to-hand combat, brutal combat that office

her name is gladys sicknick. the mother of the fallen capitol police officer brian sicknick who died the day after he was assaulted by rioters while defending the capitol. earlier this week, gladys sicknick asked to meet with g every single republican senator on the hill to urge them to vote yes onseting up a commission to look into what happened that day. she said failing to do so would be a, quote, slap in the faces a of all the office here's did their jobs that day. and today, on the day they were supposed to vote on this thing, she went door to door with officer sicknick's long time partner and two other law enforcement officers who were there that day basically beggine republicans to vote to set up this commission. >> in your statement, you said it would be a slap in the face if there is not a commission.mis do you think you can change minds today? >> i hope so. i hope so. brian had a work ethic like second to none. he was just there for our country and for these guys. and he was just doing his job and he go

>> what about you, gladys, what was your reaction to the news today? >> i was disappointed, but i realized that was going to happen. i really did. it was just vibes that we got yesterday. >> what were the vibes? >> i don't know, just a feeling, you know, that they went through the motions, but you can tell that underneath they were being nice to us. >> we hear a lot about backing the blue from politicians especially, who talk about the importance of backing the men and women in blue who protect us. you know you're going to hear some of these 35 republicans talk about in the future how important it is to back our men and women in blue. what will you think when you hear that? >> unbelievable that they think like that. you know, if they had a child that was hurt, was killed on a day like that, they would think very differently. or if they were hurt. i mean, someone could have been killed, one of the congressmen, one of the senators. but apparently they just think, well, we're safe because of the men in blue. they don't think any further from that. >> what

and gladys sicknick said she is not the kind of person to want to come forward. she is usually in the background but she just felt she couldn't be quiet anymore. but so she was very strong in those meetings. it was tough. as was brian sicknick's partner sandra gomez and then two of the officers who were there that day on january 6, officer don who knew brian well and then officer michael and made strong cases why it should be done for the officers and for everything they went through on the front lines that continues to be minimized, but also, for the country and for history as officer dunn said so i agree with my friends tom ridge and michael chernoff and the other bipartisan efforts that say we need the commission and as susan collins said, she is going to keep working on this. there were seven republican votes if senator toomey was able to be there and i would expect that members of congress will start -- i don't know why they didn't start to subpoena things right now. i said on january 7 subpoena donald trump's phone records. all the people that were involved

i mean, gladis said it's a slap in the fashion to not have this commission created. >> it's all talk and no action. clearly, they're not backing the blue. and yesterday having the officers there to talk about their experiences, i mean, i even learned more about what actually happened on that day hearing their stories close and up front on live and in color and i was absolutely appalled. so, they heard it first hand. some of that stuff, you know, it's devastating because they could have been murdered, and, you know, this cannot happen again. it cannot. so for them to vote no is, you know, it's not protecting law enforcement, and, you know, more importantly, it's not protecting our democracy. you know, people there were not only hurting law enforcement officers and then of course, like i said yesterday, there is a ripple effect of trama that still is continuing today. >> joining us now is cnn special correspondent jamie gangel. what is your sense how and why republicans voted against the commission despite personal pleas? >> i don't know how many times i'm going to say this but all roa

>> what about you, gladys, what was your reaction to the news? >> it was disappointing. but i realized that it would happen. i really did. it was just vibes that we got yesterday. >> what were the vibes? >> just a feeling that, you know, that they went through their motions but you can tell underneath they were being nice to us. >> and we hear a lot when backing the blue from politicians especially, backing knows in bluthose in blue who protect us. and you know that you will hear some of these 35 republicans talk about in the future how important it is to back our machimen and women in blue. what will you think when you hear that? >> unbelievable that they think like that. if they had a child that was hurt, was killed on a day like that, they would think very differently. or if they were hurt. i mean, they could have -- somebody could have been killed, one of the congressmen, one of the senators. but apparently they just think, well, you know, we're safe because of the men in blue. they don't think any further from that. >> what do you think, i mean, is it -- gladys said

so two officers you have heard from on this show will be with gladys sicknick tomorrow. capitol police officer harry dunn and michael fanone. remember what he told me about lawmakers trying to white wash history? some republican lawmakers and even the former president, they're trying to rewrite history saying that the riots, that they weren't that bad and the rioters were actually antifa. i know you have said this isn't political for you. but how do you respond to them twisting the truth like that? >> it's hurtful. it's hurtful and it's kind of like a slap in the face without even asking us or talking to us about what we went through. >> remember what officer fanone told me? >> i'm not a politician, i'm not an elected official. i don't expect anybody to give two shits about my opinions, but i will say this. you know, those are lies. and peddling that bullshit is an assault to every officer that fought for this capitol. it's disgraceful. >> a federal judge writing an opinion today the big lie could still spur trump supporters to violence. quote, the steady drum beat that

the insurrection that led to the death of gladys's son.to obstruct the creation of a 1/6 commission, and by doing so, are fueling the fire of donald trump's big lie because as he's seen no consequence for spewing these falsehoods, the former president has only continued to spew them. the danger of keeping trump's misinformation alive so worrisome, a federal judge identified it as a reason to keep a defendant charged in the insurrection investigation locked up. judge amy berman jackson writing this. the steady drum beat that inspired defendant to take up arms has not faded away. six months later the canard that was the election was stolen is being repeated daily on major news outlets and from the corridors of power in state and federal government not to mention in the near daily fulminations of the former president. defendant poses a threat of physical harm to accomplish officials and ordinary citizens who may represent opposing viewpoints and to family members and other members of the community who may attempt to stand in his way. we're wa

mcconnell would not respond when manu raju asked if he was meeting with officer sicknick's mother gladysa rare point of agreement emerges in congress about the investigations into the origins of covid-19. this hour i'll ask house majority whip jim clyburn. and the fast moving investigation into the horrific mass shooting in san jose, california, leaving nine innocent people dead. there were no survivors. every single person who was shot died. and we are learning it could have been even worse. cnn's josh campbell just talked to the county sheriff. what did you learn? >> reporter: the sheriff tells me a little more about this suspect and what actually transpired here yesterday morning after he arrived on the scene of this rail yard. we went into one building, opened fire and then moved to a second building. as you mentioned, a total of nine of his co-workers shot dead. now we're also learning from the sheriff, some additional information about the weaponry that was used. weal show you what we know. the suspect, according to the sheriff, had two semiautomatic handguns as well as 11 magazine

. >> let me ask you about gladys sicknick, the mother of the late officer brian sicknick, who has beenrying to lobby senate republicans. what has the reaction been? >> the mother of brian sicknick, the late capitol police officer who did die as a result of the attack on january 6th, she came to capitol hill to personally lobby republican senators to try to get them to vote with this democrat -- with the democrats for the independent bipartisan commission. she spoke candidly, that she said the meetings were tense but she did not expect them to ching their vote. wanted even the mother of a late capitol police officer could change the fate of this independent commission here. >> amanda golden, thank you for that. >>> joining me right now, congresswoman madeleine dean. with a welcome to you. tell me what is the next move for your caucus when it comes to investigating the capitol riot? >> it's good to be with you this memorial day weekend. it strikes me it's a lack of shame. the setting was the leadup to memorial day weekend. we're witnessing a republican majority in the senate no longer ca

gladys sicknick lost her son. at least 140 other officers were injured. cracked ribs, smashed spinal disks, officers hit with baseball bats, flagpoles, pipes, you've seen the video with your own eyes. and the republicans who were expected to vote against the commission are now going to have to answer this question -- are they really ready to put trump and politics above the truth and an independent commission designed to make sure that deadly day, when all of their lives were threatened, never happens again? manu raju is "outfront." the timing of this vote is still in flux and it's looking like this may be a very late night for everyone on the hill. >> reporter: this was expected. the reason why it's late is not related to this but other issues that are on the senate floor that need to be resolved first before they get to this key vote. but the outcome is not in doubt. republican leaders have been working behind the scenes, have been making their case publicly and privately that they don't want this bill to go forward. mitch mcconnell's pitch privately ha

"look, gladys sent this to me. grandma and the captions say 'do emails get delivered on sundays.' isn't that great that gladys. i swear, all her bones are funny bones. now, in case you don't remember, and i really hope for the sake of your mental health that you don't, this whole thing apparently revolves around a scheme cooked up by rudy and his gang of weirdos to dig up dirt on the bidens during the election, and extort ukraine in order to get that dirt, which is what trump was impeached for the first time rudy tried to get the then ambassador of ukraine, marie yovanovitch pushed out because he saw her as an obstacle to his scheme, and that's what the feds are reportedly investigating and, by the way, rudy is basically already admitted to that >> i do not understand mr.giuliani's motives for attacking me nor can i offer an opinion on whether he believed the allegations he's read about me clearly no one at the state department did when i returned to the united states, deputy secretary of state sullivan told me the

and gladys sicknick has the courage to tell them the truth. saying, in a statement, and i quote here, i suggest that all congressmen and senators who are against this bill visit my son's grave in arlington national cemetery, and while there, think about what their hurtful decisions will do to those officers who will be there for them going forward. putting politics aside, wouldn't they want to know the truth of what happened on january 6th? if not, they do not deserve to have the jobs they were elected to do. so, two officers you have heard from on this show will be with gladys sicknick, tomorrow. capitol police officer harry dunn and d.c. metropolitan police officer, michael fanone. remember what officer dunn told me about the lawmakers who are trying to whitewash history? >> some republican lawmakers and even former -- the former president -- they are trying to rewrite history. saying that the riots that they weren't that bad. and that the rioters were actually antifa. i know you have said that this isn't political, for you. but how do you r
