kirsten -- excuse me. kirsten, i want to ask you. in his op-ed, gaetz didn't address the cnn reporting last week that says that he showed naked photos of women that he claimed he had slept with to lawmakers on the house floor. doj investigation aside, doesn't gop need to do something to address this part of it? >> you would think. i mean that would be -- >> that logic again. >> yeah, the logic. the logic. and that you keep expecting a different result. it's really cute. but if you think about the fact that they didn't hold marjorie taylor greene responsible, right? so they don't hold people responsible if they think there's going to be some sort of backlash from the trump base, which is completely dictated on what donald trump does, and nobody really know what's donald trump is thinking. now, i'm not saying that's the right way to be handling it. i don't think that it is. i think that they should be, you know, dealing with this issue. it's a pretty serious thing to be doing, you know, on the house floor. it's unacceptable. it's creat

what does senator kirsten gillibrand say now? >>> "firing line" with margaret hoover is made possible by the margaret and daniel lobe foundation, robert greneri, charles r. schwab, the david tepper charitable foundation, inc., the fair weather foundation. craig newmark philanthropies, and by corporate funding is provided by stevens, inc. >>> senator kirsten gillibrand, welcome to "firing line." >> thank you. >> senator, let's start with president biden's $2.3 trillion infrastructure package. most americans think of roads and bridges when they hear the world "infrastructure." you're a mother of two teen sons and you recently tweeted paid leave is infrastructure, child care is infrastructure, caregiving is infrastructure. explain. >> well, the way i see infrastructure is it's what's necessary to get the economy moving. and we traditionally look at things like roads and bridges and sewer systems. now we look at things like high-speed rail or a better electric grid or rural broadband. that's in my mind the hard infrastructure but the

kirsten gillibrand holds the new york senate seat was filled by her political idol, hillary clinton. she has been called the me too senator for speaking out against sexual assault in the military, and holding colleagues accountable for sexual harassment allegations. >> our governors lost the support of most of his governing partners we make times, taking heat. >> it is not easy, is not expedient, it's not politically helpful to make is difficult. but i value women. >> gillibrand remains focused on her work for veterans and american families. with democrats in control of congress and questions about whether the me too movement has stalled, what does senator kirsten gillibrand say now? >> fire early on is made possible in part by the margaret and daniel loeb foundation; charles r schwab; the david tepper charitable foundation inc. >> the fair weather foundation; craig newmark philanthropies; corporate funding provided by stevens. >> senator kirsten gillibrand, welcome to finding line. >> thank you. >> center, start with president biden's 2.3 trillion dollar infrastructure package. most

we'll hear from two senators, one on each side of the aisle, a rare joint interview from senators kirsten gillibrand and joni ernst to talk about their support of a bill that would bring reform to the military and the way it deals with sexual assault allegations. >>> we're live with dr. murthy about the president's plea to get vaccinated and the potential ban on menthol cigarettes. >>> the 100th day of the biden administration, i'm hallie jackson in washington joined by monica alba, outside the white house, leigh ann caldwell is on capitol hill, priscilla thompson in atlanta where the president is set to arrive in a couple hours. he's going to leave, scheduled to this hour. ellison barber outside miami with reaction to the president's speech. we learned that president has tasked some key cabinet members, five of them, to try to sell this plan that he unveiled to the american public last night. what do you expect to see, not just today with the president on the road, but in the coming days ahead? >> well, it will be similar to what we saw after the president unveiled his covid relief bill

joining me now, democratic senator kirsten gillibrand of new york and joni ernst.d to have you here. senator ernst, you have resisted a change like this for years. what changed? >> i have. starting years ago, of course, i served in the military. i was a commander. so i understand how important this issue has been for military commanders and the desire to keep these types of decisions within the military chain of command. but i'm also a survivor of sexual assault and i have done everything i can think of in the past six years, in my first term of office to work within the existing structure and system to do better for sexual assault survivors. we are not seeing a dent in the numbers. and after the report that came from ft. hood this last year, we saw very toxic leadership climate that allowed horrible things to happen. and we have to see a shift. senator gillibrand, be who has been a very dear friend of mine and a relentless advocate on this issue, she approached me again this year. we sat down and thought let work through this. let find a way forward that will work

so, kirsten, gaetz. he's had a meteoric rise in the gop over the last several years.se-trump ally, and that's really how he's done it, right? like, he is a trumper, through and through. where does all that stand, now? >> well, i mean, i think people are digesting this -- this, kind of, crazy story which, you know, was so skillfully just laid out for us. i have to say, i had to read, like, multiple articles, three or four times, to even try to make sense of what he's alleging. because he has conflated so many things, it is straight out of the trump playbook, right? where you get accused of something, and you just start throwing all sorts of different things, that aren't related, at the wall. and -- and seeing what will stick. so, you know, i think, you know, kevin mccarthy, who, you know, has said that, basically, they are going to wait and see if these allegations are true. that they take them very seriously. and so, you know, i think the republicans are going to wait, until, you know, they find out whether or not he is actually guilty of this, before anything happens

kirsten powers, good to see you. thank you. mia love. thank you so much.lly appreciate it. >>> just ahead. more on one of the gop congressman we mentioned who have signed onto the so-called america-first caucus. matt gaetz. and what he is telling republican congressmen about the federal investigation he is under, at least those congressmen who are willing to still talk to him. >>> also, new reporting from "the washington post" about how that probe began, when we continue. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ comfort in the extreme. ♪ the lincoln family of luxury suvs. this is wealth. ♪ ♪ this is worth. that takes wealth. but this is worth. and that - that's actually worth more than you think. don't open that. wealth is important, and we can help you build it. but it's what you do with it, that makes life worth living. principal. for all it's worth. ♪ limu emu & doug ♪ liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. thank you! hey, hey, no, no limu, no limu! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ >>> several republican cong

. >> kirsten, when you heard this stuff, it's not a surprise coming from this particular congressperson what did you think? >> well, i mean, i think, you know, first you think of it's not even really you can call it a dog whistle but it's not really a dog whistle. it's an explicit prowhite statement and what she's referring to the anglo-saxon traditions, we usually think about white anglo-saxon and it's not talking about people like mia and not talking about people who built this country, the people who were brought here against their will, black people, the people who then came in in waves of immigrants, the types of -- the way -- the types of people she is now demonizing. they are the people that built this country. she's trying to harken back to this idea that's very european centric in the flier it talks about having more european style architecture and stuff like that and so our identity we're importing all of these people from another country and how dangerous it is. it's not even -- it's not even cloaked language. it very explicitly racist. >> yeah, and congresswoman lovett, marj

kirsten, i'll start. but gaetz said he is not rescening.k i go the of not backing down. the gop hasn't act against him so far. are they going to wait to see what the investigation turns up? >> they're going to wait for that or they'll wait for some sort of sign from donald trump. i think the fear is that they don't want to do anything that will upset donald trump because matt gaetz is somebody who is very trumpy and very alined with donald trump much in the way marjorie taylor green is and can remember republicans weren't willing to hold her accountable for any of her behavior. that was because donald trump was standing behind her. we don't know what donald trump thinks about what's going. on he hand really signaled that but i suspect that the republicans are waiting, either for an indictment, even then, still waiting to see what donald trump thinks about this. they don't like matt gaetz. they would be happy to throw him overboard but they don't want to go against the trump supporters or donald trump. >> you mentioned marjorie taylor green.

i want to bring in cnn political analysts john avlon and kirsten powers. good evening to you and thanks for joining. john, let's start with you. the president is really tuning out the noise, pushing ahead on guns, infrastructure, speeding up vaccinations. while the gop goes all in on trump and the culture wars. is this just the way it is now? biden is on his own, getting things done and the gop is talking about things are irrelevant? >> i think it is a snap shot of the way our politics are. remember, i think this is consistent with the way joe biden campaigned. he did not overindex twitter talk. he focused on where the real votes were in the democratic primary. you have some polarization in congress where you have the republican party disproportionately dominated. where folks are playing to the fox news crowd, where being a troll is a sign of success rather than getting things done. biden is betting on his proposals are popular with republican voters. there's all this talk of bipartisan support but we haven't seen any evidence of it. so he is moving forwar

how much of a problem for you and your agenda are swing senators like joe manchin, like kirsten sinema? he endorsed lisa murkowski and sinema posted a picture of herself wearing a ring that said "f off." i don't know who that was aimed toward, whether it was you or the media. does that bring about the kind of behavior you support or condemn? >> what brings about unity, i try to show every one of my members respect when i agree or disagree with them. but i'm not shy at telling them why i disagree with them when i do and trying to make the arguments about why it's important to come together on the kind of agenda you and i have been talking about. and that method has worked thus far. and hopefully, it will continue to work. we need every member. if any one, as you pointed out, our majority is 50. it's fragile. it's fragile if, god forbid, someone would become incapacitated or worse. it's also fragile if anybody defects and says they won't go along. we have to work it. i work it in a very serious, constant way. i mentioned my secret weapon. it's right here. i don't know if you can see it.

and i know that joe manchin -- is certainly this sort of senator that -- kirsten cinema is not that wayrsonality wise. and understand the moment that we're in. do they want to be in the history books as the two moderate senators that stood in the way of the protection of the voting right, of the black, brown indigenous and api voters that gave democrats the majority in the first place? because they can go down in history as the folks that protected the rights of those people and those communities in the democratic base or the people who stood in opposition. i think that they need to either figure out how they can be a part of getting senate republicans to hop on board to make sure that the biden administration in the federal government at large is able to deal with the pressing problems of the day. or they beat the come films who have, come to use this moment, and understand that the filibuster is not a democratic -- or, it is not part of a movie democracy majority rule. in this country, the republican party right now is an anti democratic party. they will have to pick a side. >> and, j

i'm going to jump in and say, did you call joe manchin and kirsten sinema for endorsing murkowski or telling people to f off? >> i'm not going to get into my individual conversations but when i think they're wrong i tell them respectively and strongly. so far we've had unity. >> stick around for more from my exclusive interview with senate majority leader chuck schumer. i'll ask about the derek chauvin verdict next. >>> plus republican senator outs himself as pro-hate crimes? you will not want to miss my "60 second rant" tonight. ht not everybody wants the same thing. that's why i go with liberty mutual — they customize my car insurance so i only pay for what i need.

>> tucker: a couple >> tucker: a couple of weeks ago, internationally renowned cognitive athlete kirsteno u.s. senator, announced that everything is infrastructure, assumable even her. sadie cortez thought this and said to come i need my own big idea. according to congresswoman cortez everything is climate change. >> the climate crisis is a crisis born of injustice, and the crisis born of pursuit of profit at any and all human and ecological costs. which means that we must recognize the legislation that the trampling of indigenous rights is a cause of climate change, that the trampling of racial justice is a climate change because we are allowing people and we are allowing ourselves to make sure -- we are allowing folks to deny ourselves human rights and the right to health care and housing education. >> tucker: is obviously the worst thing we did in this country was given ashlar's degree is to dumb people, especially dumb aggressive people, that's what we get. mark steyn isn't originally from this country but he has a clearer picture. it turns out that climate change to indigenous right

keep up talk on police reform and things got a jolt after a liberal activist red joe manchin and kirstens phone numbers during a press conference, hoping to get them to support the doors for justice and policing active fox news poll shows voters oppose cutting police funding, the george floyd act does not affect police funding in any way. >> the struggle between police and communities intensifies, senator john kennedy says people need to see the whole picture when it comes to policing and many offices just want to make it home alive at the end of the day. >> in our post-journalism world many members of the media have a narrative and they only want to cherry pick and pick instances which show cops at their worst. i have said before. if you hate cops just because they are cops, then, criminal or method next time you get and i do not accept. i think most americans accept that most cops are bad people, are racists. they don't get up every day going to work hoping to hurt somebody. most of them get up every day and go to work and hope they can themselves come home alive. >> yesterday an nypd

war of words, republicans and democrats battling over what infrastructure actually means, mocking kirstenfrastructure, caregiving is infrastructure. senator ted cruz chimed in with this, "abortion is infrastructure. gun control is infrastructure. whatever the left wants is infrastructure. only 5% of biden's infrastructure bill is roads and bridges. "unicorns are infrastructure, love is infrastructure, everything is infrastructure. love is nice, power panel, we are watching something about to happen at the white house with gun control, does the vice president and president one out. if that happens we will go to it, momentarily. he said you can use whatever words he wants. the key is we are looking at transportation and workforce. how we do light rails, these are things that are part of infrastructure because it's how we move and drive. other things, talking about child care and eldercare, a third of the workforce leaves the workforce because of those two things. do you want to count that as part of the workforce, i don't care what you call it but there are things that influence how we live

kirsten gillibrand, "paid leave his infrastructure, child care's infrastructure, caregiving's infrastructure." no, senator, it's not infrastructure. but you know what is infrastructure? yeah, the keystone xl pipeline project that you killed, the dakota pipeline. energy resources in ny or alaska. when, joe, are you going to apologize for destroying those six-figure career hardworking jobs for american energy workers? it's just one of the many reasons the biden administration has to lie to you, to we the american people, as they are getting more desperate by the day. because biden and even pete buttigieg now caught this week saying delma claiming the package would cost have 19 billionjobs. what that's why he kept felling on the stairs, that was a lie. number included 16.3 billion jobs that moody's project it would be added even if biden's infrastructure proposal never became the law. oh, biden, he's just off a mere 16 million jobs on that lie. like clockwork, rather than admit obvious mistakes, democrats do what they always do. when all else fails, play the race car. they do it every two years

far left new york senator, kirsten gillibrand. child care is infrastructure. caregiving is infrastructure. no, senator, it's not infrastructure. but hey, joe, you know what is infrastructure? yeah, the keystone xl pipeline project you killed. the dakota pipeline. energy resources in alaska. when, joe, are you going to apologize for destroying the six-figure career hardworking jobs for american energy workers? now, is just one of the many reasons the biden administration has to lie to you, towhee, the american people and they are getting more desperate by the day. and even pete buttigieg now was caught this week falsely claiming that the package would create 19 million jobs. that was a lie too, just like joe got blown over by the wind three times and that is why he kept falling on the stairs getting up to air force one. that was a lie. the number, by the way included 16.3 million jobs that he projected would be added, even if his infrastructure proposal never became the law. he was just off a mere 16 million jobs on that lie. like clockwork, rather than admit o

you already have people like joe manchin and kirsten cinema saying they would like to move forward in a bipartisan fashion, and manchin has been clear he doesn't want to do anything regarding the filibuster, and mitch mcconnell knows that and he has been praising them and maybe he can keep them from going nuclear on the filibuster or bring them to his ranks on other things -- other items democrats want but they will need all 50 of them to get. >> before i let you go, what is the sense in washington as to whether the meeting tomorrow will mean anything? mitt romney, a republican who seems to have more of an openness to bipartisanship in his party, and charlie crist, a former republican governor turned democratic lawmaker, and jimenez, a miami-dade official, and if you were going to put ten people in a world that were already inclined to work in a bipartisan fashion, this is them. does this get to dealing with the deeper divisions in the party or is this just kind of to telegraph bipartisanship? >> look, we've already seen, though, several bipartisan groups come together during the covi

ram everything through at once by making this phony argument because now you have democrat senator kirstenmocked, brutally on the internet, saying paid family leave is on infrastructure. so pennies and rainbows are infrastructure too? >> everything is infrastructure now. because this is a infrastructure bill we don't know how many trains will leave the station and let's throw absolutely everything on there. members of congress are guilty of that. the biden administration is guilty of that. they're trying to low a 400 billion-dollar medicaid expansion in this bill. we can argue whether it's a good idea or bad idea but it is certainly not infrastructure. adding on labor provisions on this bill that eviscerate 27 states right to work laws. you can say that is a good thing or bad thing but no way that is infrastructure. progressives on the hill like aoc are saying the bill is far too small. they want a 10 trillion-dollar bill, that opens up floodgates for everything they want to do. elizabeth: gotcha. let's listen to president biden doing the new democrat party line, stretching the definition

that this was led by sheldon whitehouse and the senate along with mazie hirono, richard blumenthal, kirsten gillibrand and now head of the judiciary committee dick dermot. they have sent out amicus brief to the court threatening the justices saying if you take up this gun rights case out of new york, we will restructure the court. so this group, this handful of senators threatened the court with packing. and it was so bad, in fact, that sam alito called them out on it. so that's what they are trying to do. and it actually worked. because the chief justice joined the liberals and backed away from ruling on that new york gun case. so this is what they are up to. they are trying to basically intimidate the justices about what cases they take up to not make rulings that would help conservatives, if you will. but this party, i call them -- these democrats the party of ariewk assault. spoiled brats, i want it and i want it now. >> dana: amicus is my safe word. [laughter] >> greg: terrible. all right. coming up, you don't even know what a safe word is, dana. >> dana: i watch billions, i know. >> g

democrat and republicans generally can't agree on much these days, but today you had democratic senator kirstensenator marco rubio along with you promoting this bill. president biden says he believes a burn pit might have cause his son beau's fatal brain cancer. are we in a moment? is there enough unity in congress to get this bill passed into law? >> i truly hope so because this is sort of a moral imperative. this is the cost of war when you send people overseas. you have to be prepared for taking care of the consequences of that service on those veterans. you know, these families are almost made to be defendants in court cases on their own health conditions. it's bizarre, especially since the v.a. itself, the statute is even if there's reasonable doubt that it's not service connected, reasonable doubt, the benefits still goes to the veteran and that's why presumption i think is the only way to do it. >> this process -- your husband fighting cancer while fighting the v.a., i can't even imagine how horrible this has been for you and your family. >> it's actually a fight that i'm -- i've taken o

the kirsten sinema of arizona of the world if they have any chance of getting this through, never mindep in a potential compromise which is working across the aisle. >> dana, you sat down with vice-president kamala harris and talked about police reform. what did she tell you? >> so interesting, i got to talk to her during a week where, you know, obviously this country has been having a reckoning for some time. but it really reached a certain climax this week. so i spoke with her about her particular role inside the white house given how historic the fact that she is there even is. >> this verdict is but a piece of it. and it will not heal. the pain that existed for generations, that has existed for generations among people who are experienced and firsthand witnessed what now a broader public is seeing because of smartphones and the ewe. and that's why congress needs to act. and that's why they should pass the george floyd justice in policing act. >> so, the next question is, how involved will you be in order to make that happen? because, you know, compromise needs to happen sometimes w

kirsten gillibrand holds the new york senate seat was filled by her political idol, hillary clinton.eaking out against sexual assault in the military, and holding colleagues accountable for sexual harassment allegations. >> our governors lost the support of most of his governing partners we make times, taking heat. >> it is not easy, is not expedient, it's not politically helpful to make is difficult. but i value women. >> gillibrand remains focused on her work for veterans and american families. with demts
