i listened to majority whip jim clyburn talk about we can't filibuster away our voting rights.ry march we wouldn't have had the 1964 civil rights, or the 1965 voting rights and the 1968 march for jobs. and here we are repeating history. and this time we're bringing everyone along with us to stand up. >> that's why these marches and continued fights like the texas democrats is so important. that's why dr. king's son and i call thing national march of voter rights. you've got to keep it out there, and the pressure on. congresswoman joyce beatty, thank you for being with us tonight. and for your service. >>> coming up, in the face of growing violence and political uncertainty, haitian-american leaders are calling on the white house for help. one such leader joins me after the break with more on what she would like to see from the biden administration and not see. ugh, these balls are moist. or is that the damp weight of self-awareness you now hold in your hands? yeah (laugh) keep your downstairs dry with gold bond body powder. centrum multigummies aren't just great tasting... they

joining me to discuss that is house majority whip jim clyburn.u so much for joining me this morning. happy fourth. the new chair of the january 6th committee, bennie thompson, didn't rule it out. do you think it requires hearing from him? >> first of all, happy independence day. thank you for having me. bennie thompson was head of homeland security for a long, long time. benny has been calling for, look into domestic terrorism for a long time. a lot of people may have missed that. benny has been saying things and calling attention to it. i think he knows that we know what happened and where it happened. what we don't know is why it happened and who made it happen. he intends to get to those last two questions and do so in a bipartisan way. >> what do you think? do you think former president trump should testify? >> if it comes to that, wherever the facts lead. they may be able to get what they want and need without him testifying. i would not want to see a former president testify in such a situation as this. but if that's what it takes to get to

i spoke with nina turner last week by phone, she's running in ohio's 11th district, and when jim clyburn got involved in that primary and endorsed her democratic opponent he cited defund the police in what he calls sloganing as the reason he was endorsing chantel brown and not nina turner. nina is a progressive icon to folks on the left, one of bernie sanders' senior most advisers, she said to me, look, i don't run on defund the police. i have family members who served in law enforcement throughout my life. i have a more nuanced take on police reform and yet folks like clyburn are taking the range out on the progressive movement against those trying to get a seat in congress. so we're seeing the dynamics unfold for the folks that are progressive icons and vocal

jim clyburn will join me ahead. women in congress, a record number is surging. how they are fighting to change the lives of millions of american phafamilfamilies. >> it makes all the difference in the world. >> hello, i am dana bash in washington where the state of the union is more than ready to celebrate this independence day. instead of worrying about red coats, this time we can thank those in white coats for many who feel like normal today. about two third of adults in the u.s. have at least one shot of the covid-19 vaccine. health experts say people can celebrate the 4th of july of. getting 70% of adults vaccinate by today. there is major concern for low vaccination areas like communities across the midwest and the south and full of people who have no plans to get the vaccine. >> dr. fauci is warning that the vaccine divide is creating two americas. concerns of what the new variant could mean and whether that could start circulate next. joining me now is jeffery sigh, thank you so much for joining me. happy fourth. >> thank you. >> president biden set a goa

jim clyburn, very good catching up with you. jim clyburn will be playing a major role should this get to the level of federal legislation. 50 votes and kamala harris breaking the tie, the on means open to democrats on a federal level to change and reinforce these policies that they hope to overturn from aggressive republican measures that they say are popping up in better than a dozen states including as we speak texas. keep you updated after this. so. to protect people. to help them save. with a home and auto bundle from progressive. ahh. i was born for this. and now it's prime time. cut. jamie, what are you doing? you're not even in this one. i thought it was thursday. sorry. -it is. -i thought -- i thought it was last thursday. to make my vision a reality. i have to take every perspective, and see clearly from every point of view. with my varilux progressive lenses i seamlessly transition from near to far. and see every detail in sharp focus. when you see no limits, there are no limits. book now at your local essilor experts

congressman jim clyburn, thank you very much for making the case. you very much. >> god bless. >>> so the war against vaping. we're sleeping on vaping again, you notice that? you got kids? that's why i started talking to you about this. i got it in my home. everybody's kid is susceptible to this. they knew what they were doing, they were saying vape will make people stop smoking. that works on some adults. it's had the opposite effect on kids. they're vaping like crazy and everybody knows it. so could a major e-cigarette maker be put out of business soon because of this? we're going to talk to a parent of a teen who is recovering from vape addiction. and let me tell you something. i know her. she's a good parent. this happens to all kinds of people everywhere. now she wants to raise awareness. it is still a crisis even though it's not in the headlines, next. water? why?! ahhhh! incoming! ahhhahh! i'm saved! water tastes like, water. so we fixed it. mio. can you be free of hair breakage worries? we invited mahault to see for herself that new dove bre

you heard what jim clyburn said. he has floated an idea that some people like, that we can table the discussion about getting rid of the filibuster for those people who think that it is important to the parliamentary process and to democracy and to bipartisanship. but for things like voting rights, things that are written into the constitution of the united states, perhaps we should carve these things out. your thoughts on jim clyburn's suggestion. >> thanks and great to be with you. i think that it is a sound approach that jim clyburn laid out, that there are certain issues like voting rights that rise to a level of severity and consequence that we should pay special attention to them and act with a sense of urgency when it comes to knocking away any obstacle in our way including a rule of the senate. so i'm in favor of removing the 60 vote filibuster, but there are other ways where you could make an exception for something as consequential as voting rights. >> let's talk about how it gets done. because there are pe

. >> figure, jim clyburn. can you hear me? >> yes. i wanted to just ask the panel a couple questions and up sorry i'm running back and forth with votes and press conferences. the question is this, which is can any of the panelists speak to come and apologize if you have covered this before, like in any of the panelists speak to what has been effective in encouraging people who are hesitant about taking the vaccine to do so now? and the more specific that you can be in terms of any examples of what has worked, i would be most grateful. >> i'd be happy to take this one for a moment and then turn it over to others. some of the key things we have seen that do work are lotteries. lotteries are working. there's a 20% increase in vaccination among those 60 and up, up in ohio after announcement of ohio's vax-a-million and an estimated 50-80,000 50-80,000 additional doses delivered in the two weeks after that lottery was announced. we know that people also respond to large incentive payments and ornamented of $100 so there's some risk the smal

house jim clyburn when he mentioned to carve out for hr for, the john lewis voting rights act. >> we mportance of democratic leader clyburn's comments on the filibuster with respect to voting rights. if you could have a carve out for right-wing supreme court justice why can't you have a carve out to protect the very fundamentals of our democracy. >> democrats from the texas state legislature dramatically left the state of texas yesterday to block republicans from passing on and another dry cone in -- over 50 legislators are in washington and planning to be there for weeks out of the reach of texas law enforcement. as long as they stay away, the legislature and the state of texas can't pass anything. in the midst of that, the most difficult standoff, texas democrats from the state legislature spoke today at the u.s. capital alongside members of congress from texas. they're basically begging for federal help, urging democrats and congress to carve out and amend the rules of the united states senate so the senate can pass voting rights legislation with just the democratic majority. the t

i've heard a lot of people say jim clyburn's suggestion is a good suggestion. how does it come to be? >> it's simple. >> schumer, the leader of the senate, simply changes the rules, just like was done by both his predecessor -- two predecessors, by the way, harry reid, with who i had discussed it, changed it when it came to judges for obama. mcconnell changed it when it came to judges, especially the supreme court, when it came to trump. all -- that's not a very heart thing to do, but it needs those two democrats, who seem to be reticent about the filibuster, joe manchin and kristin sinema, i think they're right, but i really believe they need to modify their thinking. >> you were tweeting about hank johnson and more, how do we get americans to feel the level of urgency around this? we saw urgency in the streets of america last year, and it did change the way things work in this country with respect to social justice and pleasing. how do you get people who are not affected to understand the level of urgency involved in this? >> well, you know, i've always said

she knows bennie thompson as well. >> congressman jim clyburn, thank you for joining us. have a good rest of your day. >> thank you. >>> josh, good to see you once again. talk me through -- as i was just speaking with the congressman about the president's upcoming speech on tuesday, could featsably dictate what happens in the midterm elections, considering where they go on voting rights. talk me through what we know so far about what the president expects to put out there. >> we know president biden is expecting to give a speech on what will be on protecting the, quote, sacred constitutional right to vote. that iconic symbol of american liberty and independence as the backdrop to make the case that american democracy itself is at stake and whether we're going to preserve the broad access to the ballot, but president biden not expected to change his fundamental position that he is not supporting doing away with the filibuster, which you just heard from with clyburn in his excellent interview, democrats, including him, feels what is to have happen if we're going to have act

now, other people, of course, have made this case, but other people aren't jim clyburn who frankly gets his calls returned, who gets his ideas listened to in the biden white house because white house him there would be no biden white house. congressman clyburn is making that case for what the biden/harris white house must do specifically on voting rights.rr change the filibuster -- endorse a change in the filibuster. a modification of the filibuster so that voting rights can pass with 50 votes.ca that's what james clyburn says a the white house must do in order to get it done. the white house must support that, push for it publicly, privately. they must push for it however they can. that was james clyburn's public play to the white house this past weekend. and look what's happened since.m today there is president biden saying in philadelphia in the big voting rights speech over and over again, with passion, we must act to protect voting rights. p we must act. we must act. this must be done. and now tonight here is the headline at npr. vice president harris hints that she has discussed f

i spoke with jim clyburn. talked about his comments yesterday, trying to push the president on this. there's no closer and more important ally in the white house than jim clyburn. he says, if we don't get this issue, raphael warnock is not going to be in the senate in two years. we're not going to win a senate race in north carolina or florida. they want to see the president do much more in the near term as the president takes a longer and more than 30,000-foot view, kasie. >> i think at the end of the day, that's really what this is about. mike, one of the things -- one of the people obviously at the center of the filibuster fight is senator joe manchin. i know there are some people familiar with his thinking who believe that this issue is going to come to a head again in congress. there's going to be another attempt to put it on the floor and that it's possible that manchin, while he is the line in the sand on the 60-vote threshold may want to put more pressure on republicans or be willing to make the filibu

jim clyburn said the same thing. would you rule out using budget reconciliation for democracy related action? >> i'm not here to rule anything out. as it relates to budget reconciliation. there is going to be a lot of work done over the next week or two as you know. writing that piece of legislation, having discussions between democrats on what they want to see included in there, what their priorities are. we'll see how that all plays out. >> when joe manchin and kirsten sinema oppose changing the filibuster because they believe everything should be done in a bipartisan way, even though republicans are getting rid of voting rights in a very partisan way, they're wrong about that, right? i just want to confirm the president does not share their view that reforming the filibuster or protecting voting rights needs a republican buy in. >> well, first i would say the president has never advocated for changing the filibuster. he said he's -- he supports changing to a talking filibuster. he believes though that voting right

[laughter] jim clyburn, who i think really has his finger on the pulse of e going to win elections, heeverything was gravy from there. he is backing the claim which requires photo i.d. but it can be something like utility bill. i think that if republicans are desperate -- or a phone bill, anything you get at your home. because there are issues with people matching birth certificates to their social security cards, et cetera, especially for elderly voters and black and latino communities. so let's talk about getting somewhere with that, john lewis for -- >> lawrence: so if it's free ids for everyone, does that remove the issue about voter i.d.? if everyone gets an i.d.? >> jessica: i think -- >> lawrence: lets do it. >> jesse: the thing is, i think the challenge the democrats have is they can never actually find somebody that they can show as an example. here's tom stevens, he doesn't have an i.d. they always talk about this group, but it's not there, and it's because, jesse, they know that it doesn't -- ids to make it hard to vote, they make it hard to cheat. they are trying to make it

. >> i want to read something that politico is reporting from congressman jim clyburn. it says the biden could pick up the phone and tell joe manchin, hey, we should do a carve out. he referred to the west virginia democrat who's resisted filibuster were torn. just do it. so there is jim clyburn saying to joe biden, just do it. you have to get this rule in the senate. vents at least for voting rights legislation. >> well, you know. i would abolish the filibuster and i've come to that decision after seeing obstruction, and so many other important pieces of legislation. thanks people as you get done to help their families for childcare. to do something about climate change because we're seeing record heat but also about voting rights and senator manchin worked in such good faith with me on a number of his versions of the bill. we were very close to getting an agreement and we had all kinds of things registration. so a very strong provision. and i think when you listen to him he talks about the standing filibuster and changes that we could make to reform the bill. and refo

jim clyburn, less important ally of the white house than jim clyburn, says pushing it to election issue means nothing if we lose a senate seat. he wants to see the president come out stronger and for abolishing the filibuster. steph. >> powerful words. let's talk about what's going to happen short term. barring something totally unforeseen. these laws in texas are going to pass. the federal voting rights bills are probably not going to, at least not in the short term. do these texas democrats need to get themselves back to texas, knock on every possible door to tell every texan this is what happened to voting rights, you better get out next election and vote? >> couple of strategies. the fact they're in d.c. helps. fundamentally this isn't an issue about texas, we're fighting it in georgia and all over the country. this is a national issue. while you see what's happening in texas, yes, there's election coming up next year, what we know is we need to have people who have integrity, literally fight for the right to vote. it is a concentrated, concerted effort to be able to undermine votes

jim clyburn will talk about that and the select committee to investigate the january 6th riot. >>> bradfensperger joins me as the justice department sues his state over voting restrictions as well. hey, i just got a text from my sister. you remember rick, her neighbor? sure, he's the 76-year-old guy who still runs marathons, right? sadly, not anymore. wow. so sudden. um, we're not about to have the "we need life insurance" conversation again, are we? no, we're having the "we're getting coverage so we don't have to worry about it" conversation. so you're calling about the $9.95 a month plan -from colonial penn? -i am. we put it off long enough. we are getting that $9.95 plan, today. (jonathan) is it time for you to call about the $9.95 plan? i'm jonathan from colonial penn life insurance company. sometimes we just need a reminder not to take today for granted. if you're age 50 to 85, you can get guaranteed acceptance whole life insurance starting at just $9.95 a month. there are no health questions so you can't be turned down for any health reason. the $9.95 plan is colonial penn's numbe

the real pressure on this white house, including from some of his closest allies, jim clyburn telling me if we don't get the voting situation right now, forget about raffaele being re-elected to hold the majority in many places, and one senior white house told me we understand the pressure from the activist and it's good and healthy but give the president some healthy because he has been showing he knows how to execute a strategy to get change here and the white house views this as a broader fight where republicans need to face consequences at the ballot box, not just in the mid-term elections but in the state races where they don't pay attention to it. >> damian, you were one of those self civil rights leaders that met with president biden on thursday to talk about voting rights. what will you need to hear from the president today to feel reassured that he is taking this seriously and not just offering plat taod. >> it was a sober meeting, and what we will need to hear from the president and what we expect to hear are two things. one, an extreme sense of urgency with high stakes, and

the third ranking democrat in the house of congress is congressman jim clyburn of south carolina. and he joins me now. congressman, let me first start by getting your reaction to what you saw today in that committee testimony. >> i saw four patriots, four servants, four people who take to heart the work they've undertaken to help protect this bastion of liberty, this capitol building, that it's held in such high esteem. they saw it under assault, and they thought it was their responsibility to do what was necessary to preserve it and it's a shame that they have been so disrespected all in just silliness, the kind of stuff that you would never believe adults -- i was not able to be at the hearing in realtime because i was conducting a similar hearing for the select committee on the coronavirus. but i have watched those tapes since. and i believe that it would be in the best interest of this committee to continue its pursuit of the truth. we've got to find out who and why. we know what, when and where. we've got to find out who and why. >> i wanted to get your reaction in particular

we urge the senate to embrace the elegant solution proposed by majority whip jim clyburn to carve outghts from the filibuster and the caucus is looking forward to meeting with majority whip clyburn tomorrow. and we hope to also pass the john lewis voting rights act because we need a strong voting rights act to protect texas voters. >> i just want to make sure everyone heard the bit of news you made there that, you will be meeting with house majority whip jim clyburn tomorrow. one quick follow-up with you, representative turner, how hard was it to make this decision to leave texas and come to washington? >> well it's a logistically challenging decision to make. it's challenging for our members who are leaving behind families and jobs and businesses and young children in many cases and that's what was hard about it and it was easy in the sense that this was the only option we had that we're gonna stop greg abbott and other republicans for making it harder for texans to vote, for making it harder for our constituents to exercise their democratic right and that was the easy part of the de

new reporting from politico details how biden allies like house majority whip jim clyburn, are pushing the president to support changing the senate filibuster to allow democrats to pass voting rights legislation along party lines. this push comes as the president deliver as major speech on voting rights tuesday in philadelphia. joining me now to discuss, tia mitchell, washington correspondent for the atlanta journal constitution and merit haynes, editor at large for the 19. what can we expect from biden's speech, tia? >> what we can expect is a speech that he talks about the fundamental right to vote as a moral issue what we don't know, and i think what people are going to be listening for, is what he says about what he will do to protect what he feels is something that is, you know, paramount to preserving american democracy. so, yes, he's going to outline why voting rights are so important, but will he take that next step to say, here's what i'm going to do as president, here's what i'm going to do as president to perhaps pass new laws or even perhaps additional executive orders that

house jim clyburn talked about a carve out if mitch mcconnell did a carve up for amy coney barrett there's the black and brown people live in texas and georgia and florida for our constituents to exercise their right to vote. we need to get this done today, time is of the essence. governor abbott is called the legislature back in session to start working on these things paper going to the most racist redistricting we've seen since the voting rights act at large districts when he's on the to protect the brave men and women standing behind me today that are risking so much for voting rights in this country. before i turn over too congressman doggett i want greg abbott and the republican leaders in texas, florida, georgia and anywhere else to know we are not going to stop. we are always going to push back against these sort of bigoted, racist, jim crow 2.0 style voting laws when ever you decide to bring them up, congressman doggett. >> thank you mark, thank you chris and all you have spoken. most of the focus around here these days is about infrastructure. it is right we should focus on crumb

and we'll ask about the meeting with white house democratic meeting whip jim clyburn. and what now? after kevin mccarthy announces his picks for the january 6th committee, we'll talk to democratic senator alex poe dea about that and where the infrastructure talks stand. and the blue origin crew completing a historic space launch with aviation legend wally funk becoming the oldest person ever to travel to space. >> we had a great time. it was wonderful. i want to go again fast. >> so a lot to get to. we'll begin with that breaking news out of washington. the former chairman of the trump 2017 inaugural fund has been arrested. nbc news justice correspondent pete williams joins us with details. what do we know? >> this is about thomas barrick, a long time friend of the president and as you said was chairman of the inaugural fund. the charges don't relate to that. for more than a year, from if april of 2016 through september of 2017 barrick was acting as an unregistered foreign agent. lobbying the united states on behalf of the government of the united arab emirates, the uae, without tel

so, there's jim clyburn saying, to joe biden, just do it. you have to get this -- this rule in the senate bent, at least for voting rights legislation. >> well, you know, i would abolish the filibuster and i have come to that decision, after seeing obstruction, after obstruction, on so many important pieces of legislation. things people need to get done to help their families, for childcare. to do something about climate change, as we are seeing record heat. but also, about voting rights. and senator manchin worked in such good faith with me on his version of this bill. we were very close to getting an agreement. it has all kinds of things. same-day registration. some very strong provisions. and i think that you -- when you listen to him, he talks about the standing filibuster. and changes that we could make to the reform the bill. so -- and reform the law -- so i'm, still, hopeful that we will see change. and i can tell you, in the meantime, i'm taking the rules committee for the first time in over two decade on the road. and we are going t

and i want to echo our majority whip, jim clyburn talked about the john lewis voting rights act. has -- if they did that for amy coney barrett, we ought to do it for the lack and brown people that live in texas, georgia, florida, all the states that are trying to make it harder for our constituents to exercise their right to vote. we need to get this done today. time is of the essence, we cannot wait. states are going to start to ramp up these efforts. again, texas -- governor abbott has called the legislator back in session to work on these things. you will see the most racist redistricting that you have seen since the voting rights act outlawed things like at large districts. and we need something to help protect the brave men and women that you see standing behind me today that are risking so much for voting rights in this country. and before i turned it over to the congressman, i just want greg abbott and the republican leaders in texas, florida, georgia and anywhere else to know that we are not going to stop. we are always going to push back against these sort of bigoted, ra

caller: earlier you had jim clyburn trying to teach us history from dixiecrat stuff. he said that covid-19 was a chance we should not lose to forward our agenda and part of the agenda is to use the judges and governors to change state election laws that they did not have the jurisdiction to do. all of this is part of a large movement to eliminate states as an earlier caller mentioned. i wanted to ask mr. sarbanes, do we have a big problem. we heard a lot about disenfranchised voters who could not get photo id in order to vote when photo idea -- photo idea -- id is required for food stamps and medicaid, and yet, how could the use of photo id be racist, explain that to me and why is it still required for food stamps and medicaid? caller: so, in terms of photo id , most people are going to have the id required when they snap -- when they show up. there might be some individuals that have issues accessing a photo id prior to their ability to get into the polls and cast their vote, and we want to make sure that there is an alternative opportunity or method by which they co

shannon: house majority whip jim clyburn taking a stand against the funding.e progressive movement is hurting his party. todd: carley shimkus here to explain. >> the congressman did not mince words while discussing the defund the police movement. he believes it is a problem in the democratic party. the congressman spoke to the new york times and had this to say. what i tried to do is demonstrate by precept and example how we are to proceed is a party was when i spoke against things like burn baby burn in 1960s and defund the police which i think is cutting the throats of the party, i know exactly where my constituents are. they are against that and i am against that. jen psaki is doubling down on claims that republicans want to defund the police. >> are there any examples of republican members of congress wanting to defund the police? >> if you oppose funding for the cops, something that was dramatically cut by the prior administration and many republicans supported and then vote against the bill that has funding for the cops program we can let other people ev

leo, let's get your response. >> jim clyburn did do a 180, let's call that what it is. he's lying. he is reversing -- he's a liar. the white house is lying, stacey abrams is lying. you don't hear jim crow 2.0 anymore because the polls don't lie. what they did was this. they allowed aoc, rashida tlaib, omar, to lead the democratic party over the cliff they're going to get annihilated that the midterms. they know it and they can't backtrack. joe biden was in chicago today. was he talking about crime? no, he's pushing more and more and more government spending. crime is an issue in this country and to defund the police is anti-american, and more important, you listen to five things, sean, that you think are appropriate for election. it didn't have any motivation by color. it was five things that were color-blind! and that's what's driving the democrats over the cliff. they see race in everything! >> sean: i just wish we would get to the point. yes, the color-blind society that we all believe in natural law, we are all created by god and the human experience is one of okay, one's heart

nancy pelosi called them stormtroopers or when jim clyburn called them stormtroopers good adam kinzingern the pocket of pelosi will never bring it up and liz cheney is in such in hate mode, she will never bring it up either death there's a lot to be brought up up -- what did nancy pelosi do, she was in charge of security of that building and she was told about potential problems and that the building? wanted the fbi do, they had information from the nypd and the norfolk office -- he doesn't want to know anything about that. i got to move fast, i got 3 minutes left. covid, i have a question for the cdc, you're busy issuing all kinds of orders to american citizens -- vaccinated citizens are supposed to wear masks? don't you understand when you tell people that they aren't going to get vaccinated on the one hand you say hurry up and get vaccinated, we are going to treat you as if you're not vaccinated, that's not science, that's stupidity and we have a lot of stupidity as federal scientists and medical directors over the course of last 18 months. you want to know stupidity? we have an open

that is a this morning jim clyburn told cnn -- the way congress can ensure a fair election is to eliminatester for constitutional issues, just as we have done for budget issues. if you want to argue about how high a wall ought to be or whether or not to build a wall, those are issues that are political, and let's have the filibuster, so long as it's extended debate, but we ought not to be filibustering things like people's voting rights. >> not all democrats support the change of the filibuster, so in light of the supreme court ruling, what can be done to protect votes? elena beverly, thank you for joining us. >> i great with him. right now on this fourth of july, what hef bernd from last week, is that other coequal branches of government are failing noirlt voters and not protecting our constitutional rights. so while the supreme court did strike directly at voting access for voters of color, particularly first americans, those on native reservations and latino voters in arizona, the court also struck at section 2 of the voting rights act. that is the remaining force that we have as minori

. >> now, civil rights leaders who are now in congress like jim clyburn, i asked him, do you agree with this kind of rhetoric, jim crow? and he said yes. i didn't know actually what he was going to say. because when the jim crow laws to restrict voting by blacks were enacted, when those laws were enacted, they didn't say don't let black people vote, there were all sorts of technicalities and things like that. and that's what people are talking about here. is this a consensus view among democrats, do you think? >> i think certainly there are a lot of democrats who see it that way. you saw the president be very forceful in his framing of this issue. i mean, look, when you talk about the aftermath of the election because that is what really paved the way for republicans to try and use the big lie to rally behind these bills seeking to crack down on voting access, they often complained about urban areas and cities, not so much rural areas who also overwhelmingly voted by mail. so i do think there is an emerging consensus among democrats and president biden did not really mince his words. bu

. >> and jim clyburn did not rule out having former president trump testify.t, if it goes wherever the facts lead. i would not want to see a former president testify in a situation like this, but if that's what it takes in order to get to the bottom of this. >> jake give us a reality check. any chance that happens? >> probably not. i don't imagine so. there are a lot of witnesses the committee can and will call that are not president trump, namely kevin mccarthy who would then demand that nancy pelosi testify about her interactions that day. of course, mccarthy had an intersection with then president trump on january 6th. there's been report about that. and i have to imagine there's a host of people. people are also forgetsing this committee is going to focus not only on political issues but on police preparedness, why the national guard didn't come in time. this is going to be a committee that focuses on issues of what they see is indemocrat you can issues in the of the security apparatus. we are so divided as a congress and country that the security bill, th

tonight, congressman jim clyburn on the need for federal protections of american democracy. >> i think everyone in this country is looking for accountability. whether it's on federal, or state level. and i'm very happy that there's finally accountability and justice. >> news that criminal charges against trump's business and his main money man could be coming tomorrow. plus, how exactly is bill cosby home free tonight? after a state supreme court vacated his sexual assault conviction. and, lastly, why is so pointless to compromise for republicans over doing something about climate change. all in starts right now. in starts right now.>> good evening from new york, i'm chris hayes. i want to see right as we came oren air we're getting breaking news from the washington post. now reporting that a new york grand jury has indeed, as was expected, return indictment on both allen weisselberg, the cfo of the trump org. we're

jim clyburn has told our caucus he believes there is a path forward to a meaningful bill. now that's the key phrase, meaningful. we don't want just symbol, we want substance. we want accountability. we want to make sure that people of color, particularly african americans, are safe when dealing with the police. that doesn't mean that they won't deal with the police any more than i won't deal with the police if i do something wrong, but it means they will be treated as everybody else is treated. and that is with the respect is due a citizen under the law and under the constitution of the united states. so i am hopeful that senator scott and senator booker and other members of the senate will be able to come to an agreement that the house can pass not just a symbol but substance so that we can have accountability. very frankly, when a member of congress does wrong, ike a lawyer, when a lawyer does wrong, a member of the clergy does wrong, they need to be held accountable. our police, to whom we give a great deal of power and we demand courage and integrity, that they as well

over on capitol hill, new reaction today from congressman jim clyburn on whether former president trump will be called to testify before the select committee investigating the january 6 th insurrection. >> if it comes to it, wherever the facts lead -- they may be able to get what they want and need without him testifying. i would not want to see a former president testifying in such a situation as this. but if that's what it takes, you know, to get to the bottom this -- because this is more than any one person. this is this country. we are celebrating today. >> let's go now to the white house, where crowds are able to walk right up to the property's fence for the first time in more than a year. nbc's mike memberly joins us now from the white house. yesterday he was surrounded by funnel cakes and ferris wheels. now it is back to the normal run of the mill everyday white house stuff. >> a different scene here. >> the barriers are down. tell us about that. were they taken down for the celebrations tonight? >> the timing is speck use on a day when you see pedestrian foot traffic anywhere cl

majority whip jim clyburn said he should back a plan to that would change the constitution. it would allow the democrats to pass their sweeping election reform bill and another bill authorizing the key sections of the 1945 voting rights act with democratic support. clyburn said president biden should pressure joe manchin, wu of the staunchest supporters in the caucus. he suggest they'd return to the talking filibuster, which would require senators to stay on the floor while blocking a bill. clyburn told, unquote, i'm not asking you to eliminate the filibuster, but what i'm saying to you is nobody ought to have the right to filibuster my constitutional rights. interesting. >>> texas republicans, meanwhile, are moving forward with a set of restrictive voting laws. it comes after a marathon weekend of public testimony by democrats fighting against the legislation. both gop-backed voting bills are headed to the floor tomorrow. state house democrats are, again, weighing their options, considering procedural fights or even another walkout. joining us now, white house reporter for
