new york senator kirsten gillibrand reportedly has bipaisan support of more than 60 senators, and top officers in each military service have urged caution. the secretary of defense, lloyd austin, has, for the first time, expressed support for removing the chain of command in cases involving sexual assaults. do you have a position on this issue? >> i do think -- i mean, we clearly have a problem of sexual misconduct within the military, and so nobody should underplay that or try to soft-pedal that at all. we have a problem. we need to do everything we can to fix it, period. my concern and i think the concern from the other members of the joint chiefs is that the bill is a little bit more, you know, on the bus than just attacking or just going after the issues of sexual misconduct. you know, if we are going to have a panel of military judges review, again, sexual assault, i'm not sure that in and of itself a bad idea. but then you have to be careful about the slippery slope that then begins to take the need for good order and discipline out of the hands of the commander. so are there th

so the bill as written, kirsten gillibrand's bill, senator gillibrand's bill, is too broad, as written? you would prefer if it were more narrow and refined? >> well, i think i'm reflecting the views of the joint chiefs. but, yes, i think we've got to be a little bit careful about making the bill too broad. but we clearly have to address the issue of sexual misconduct, sexual assault in the military. >> i'd like to ask you about civilian leadership of the pentagon. you know, as you know, america preserves its democracy in part through the civilian control of the military, though we have seen this extraordinary turn of events in recent times with two four-star generals receiving waivers from the senate to lead the department of defense. is this a good pattern? >> well, we absolutely need civilian control of the military, period. that's it. having said that, i have no issues at all with former military officers like jim mattis and lloyd austin being confirmed to be the secretaries of defense. one, i happen to know both gentlemen very well. they are exceedingly well-qualified. so i think y

but as you said, people are re-evaluating, kirsten. don't you think that some people say, hey, listen, i learned to get along with less, so maybe i'm just, as you said, i'm going to do the things that i want to do. i'm just going to sort of refocus my life and do things differently. >> yeah. i think, look -- i think that this country generally has had a problem in terms of people valuing the right things, and i'd put myself in that category as well. we're just very materialistic, very consumerist, driven, hypercapitalist country, and we were forced to slow down and sort of stop for a lot of people. and i do think a lot of people had a chance to kind of sit back and say, wow, there's actually a different way to do things. you know, we had to adjust. everybody had to learn how to work from home. look, i'm talking to you on a phone right now, right? we all learned how to do things differently and saw sort of possibilities of doing things differently. so i do think that that's part of it, and i think that -- i think it's good for biden, yo

i think she can be up to the job. >> let's be honest, kirsten.comes down to two moderate senators, joe manchin from west virginia and kyrsten sinema of arizona, and it appears the president had a bit of a message for them yesterday. let's listen. >> sock puppets? >> i know. we need one. >> i hear all the folks on tv saying why doesn't biden get this done. well, because biden only has a majority of effectively four votes in the house and a tie in the senate with two members of the senate who vote more with my republican friends. but we're not giving up. >> i mean, ouch. that was the actual president, by the way. that was. i mean, what do you think? there he is saying, warning, guys. >> i mean, he's frustrated because joe biden is very much the kind of person who loves to, you know, strike the deals and find middle ground. so when he's saying something like that, he's at the end of his rope basically. and so i think that -- and i think he should be at the end of his rope because i do think that there is a baseline in today's democratic party of wha

kirsten lyke. sorry about that. i think we dropped you. guest: thank you. host: you are back on the air. we will go to linda in cromwell, connecticut. sorry -- this is vicki in austin, texas. go ahead. caller: i had both pfizer vaccinations and i would like to get to any boosters that would come along. i am calling because i had zero reaction to the vaccinations, zero. i had only a sore spot on my arm where the shot was given, but even that didn't last long. so i have been worrying -- you hear people complain about the side effects they get, and people explain, well, that's just your good immune system kicking in. i am wondering, do i have a bad immune system and it didn't kick in, because i didn't have any old effects? -- any ill effects? how do i check to see my immune response? guest: first, congratulations for getting your pfizer. about 50% of people will have that reaction where you feel flulike. it knocks you out for about 36 hours. then most people recover pretty well. you are one of the other half the didn't have symptoms. i did not have any symptom

called out her own state senator democrat kirsten sinema for refusing to get rid of the filibuster that stands in the way of passing this voter protection law. because full democratic unity is the only way to get this done. senator raphael warnock, pastor, the same churches were martin luther king jr. spends oh time working on these issues along with preaching before being elected thanks to last year's incredible turn on georgia, eloquently laid out the stakes today. >> right now across the nation, constitutional rights are being assaulted and i fear that if we don't act as a body in this moment we will have crossed a dangerous rubicon in our nation that will make it extremely difficult for the next generation to secure voting rights for every eligible american. this is not our house. this is the house of the people we are stewards of that trust. we have to ensure that the voices of the people can be heard and their own house. >> in the end, we ended up where we knew we would end up. 50/50 party line vote in the united states and senate tonight. a stark division, one party that is radic

kirsten doesn't want to give her birth date.because it was published in world war ii, the publishes urged her to be has upbeat and patriotic as possible. likewise, welty only focuses on her formative years. these means that this is moore's weather -- rather than autobiographies. all photographs in the powerpoint are taken from the public domain, or are my own photos. because of this limitation, there are far fewer images of welty then hearst in. hurston. finally, many of the photos in the powerpoint are from the wonderful collection taken by carl van backed in. of these two figures who are among the most important southern women of the 20th century, if not the two month's important ones zora neale hurston was the elder by about a generation. she was born january the 7th 1891 in southeastern alabama. she was born to john houston and -- the older sister who is john hurston's pet. zero was extremely close to her mother. the family moved to an all-black town near orlando, incorporated in the 18 eighties where her father was a carpen

kirsten, let see.tart with the sources telling cnn the white house believes this agreement will have the support of ten senate republicans but it is unclear if they'll have enough democrats, warren and sanders said they won't get behind it. how do you see this playing out? >> well, i mean, i think they're going to try to take a complex approach to this in terms of trying to maybe break it up into different bills in order to, you know, pass something that they can get support of republicans on and maybe do something different separately that could make progressives happy. but this is kind of the puzzle that i think biden always is facing is how to piece something together that can get enough support because if you do something that the republicans might support, then you are going to lose the progressives and vice versa. so you know, i think -- i don't like to make predictions but i assume something will get passed, it's just a question of what it will look like. will it be something that, you know, pro

and kirsten cinema. separate one-on-one meeting with her. who, she is in her first term as a senator, and would not have been in the room with the president today if she was fully on board with the presidents agenda like arizona's under senator mark kelly, who is not a problem for joe biden. and so, we'll probably never have a one-on-one meeting with the president. one house official told nbc news, this afternoon, the president hosted senator manchin for a meeting at the white house where they discussed their shared commitment to voting rights. the president expressed his sincere appreciation for senator manchin's efforts to achieve reform... and made it clear how important he thinks it is that the senate find a path forward on this issue. but that forward it will be blocked tomorrow in the senate by republicans, when the voting rights bill call the for the people act comes to a vote, which will require a 60 vote threshold before proceeding to simply having a debate on the bill. the only path forward on that bill, or joe minds compromise ver

. >> what do you think kirsten? >> i don't agree with this tape really. i thought the way -- i want to address the fact that people don't hate democrats. democrats enjoy a nine points load of republicans in terms of approval. that's not inaccurate. maybe he meant people that's liberal. if you look at what miranda said, it is a good example of how to respond to criticism. he heard what people said and he did the best that he could. just because you did one good thing with "hamilton" does not mean you are perfect. yes, twitter are all out of control. all he said was i am listening and i hear you and i will try to do better. >> speaking of those issues as an apology. that was something that donald trump really changed the dynamic on. >> i don't think this is a trump phenomenon here, well, of course, trump does not apologize for anything. i have a slightly different views. i think it is not just conservatives. i think it is democrats, many of whom said gosh, this is why people hate democrats and liberals. this kind of cultural access and orthodox. i do think

we know kirsten gillibrand is the reason he lost his seat. he may run against her.ew york, and to just point, sort of testing the waters to run against kirsten gillibrand, which is interesting considering it was that senator that led the charge against him to have them be canceled and ultimately resigned, so that may be what is called poetic justice. >> harris: i don't believe in that. i do believe in, you know, optimal timing, so if he is considering that, now would be that time because i agree with you. jimmy had a right. i mean, wow. look at what the litmus test is around here. speak up i will take either of them for that matter. thanks to everyone. now here is "america reports."

so how does this working things out with kirsten sinema and joe manchin look for joe biden? how can the get them to see his perspective of items that he would still like to push through? >> when i was in office, i was a pretty progressive guy. i wanted to get a lot done too. this is going slower than i certainly would like. that being said, he still needs manchin and sinema and others who aren't quite out front, and they have reservations. what do you do? you have to deal with the hand you're dealt. if you have to go through them. by the way, that's not just a question whether they can get agreement within that group. they have to find ten republican senators that will come on board with that. that's not easy. if they can't do that, they have the ability to go back to the senate -- the senate leadership can go back to all of those senators and say, hey, we tried your effort. now it's time to go through ours and go through that reconciliation package, which, again, you're starting to see that process begin. there's an inside game, brianna, as you're saying, what happens insid

schumer, brought to voting rights bill for a vote just to show democratic senators joe manchin and kirsten sinema that bipartisanship is hopeless in the united states senate on voting rights and so much more. joe manchin got an agreement with chuck schumer that the democrats would adopt the manchin compromise version of the bill, and still joe manchin could not get a single republican to go along with that, and so the republicans won today by preventing the bill from reaching the necessary 60-vote threshold to proceed. senator manchin released this statement today saying, quote, unfortunately my republican colleagues refuse to allow debate on this legislation despite the reasonable changes made to focus the bill on the core issues facing our democracy. as i have said before, the right to vote is fundamental to our american democracy, and protecting that right should not be about party or politics. i remain committed to finding a bipartisan pathway forward because the future of our democracy is worth it. after the vote, reporters asked joe manchin once again about the possibility of him sup

. >> >> now, senator marco rubio and kirsten gillibrand have lumbered for bipartisan burn pit protection do you support that cause? >> absolutely. the burn pits were an unfortunate necessity. there was no other way to deal with the waste, other than burning it. we clearly know, from the evidence, that the burn pits have carcinogenic effects and i think we need to aggressively pursue some sort of legislation , as a country, to be able to deal with the effects of the burn pits. >> you were 65 years old now, admiral, that is a full 13 years younger than president biden. does that kind of leadership opportunity interest you? >> what is, if ever asked to serve again, i would be happy to serve in any capacity under the right administration. but i am not a politician. i do not think i would be a good politician because my politics are right down the middle. and now it seems you have to swing hard one side or the other. i believe in a lot of the liberal causes out there. but i am a pro-life guy. and as a republican i do support a lot of the liberal causes. so that would not put me in a good posi

>> representative jones, despite his views here, are you better off having manchin in the seat or kirstend not be the majority leader, would you have a bigger problem? >> look, i reject this scenario where we have to have our democracy undermine simply to pass the american rescue plan. i believe we can do both. what i am calling for is the president of the united states to use the bully puppet and the statue and all the resources he has as the most powerful person in the world to strike a deal with a member of his own party to do that which requires to save our democracy from the people who are having an under assault right now. i don't think that's asking too much. in fact it is required in order for us to have all of the things that we take for granted in this country. you know all the proger progres. we know the republican party today can't win on the muerit o the policies today. that's untenable. we are witnessing the republican party set itself up so that in january of 2025, if a democratic p president is fortunate enough to win, the year prior is not to certify that election. i thin

moderates, joe manchin, kirsten sinama. >> it was created to create this to work together. to those who say we must make a choice between the filibuster and x, i say this is a false choice. the reality is that when you have a system that's not working effectively, and i would think that most would agree that the senate is not a particularly well oiled machine, right? the way to fix that is to change your behavior. not to change the rules but to change the behavior. >> the filibuster has been used for a lot of things and maybe she should research the history of the filibuster. but change behavior? how is that possible when republicans are using the if i will buster to block an investigation into an attack on our democracy. >> with all due respect to her, she got it completely wrong on the filibuster there. she was standing next to john cornyn when she was delivering that and i think the visual to standing next to one of the top republicans in the senate, this jibberish about bipartisanship is just a matter of posturing right now to seem like a reasonable centrist figure in h

they can't do anything democratic only if they don't have senator manchin or kirsten cinema. those two senators got phone calls from president biden yesterday. they know what's happening right now and the president made clear i am told that they have an opportunity to strike that bipartisan deal that they say is a necessity. if they can't do it, the president says they are ready to move on. >> phil, thank you very much for your reporting. right now i want to go to chris van holland because he sits on the budget and foreign committee. let me ask you, do you believe in your heart that a bipartisan deal infrastructure is remotely possible? >> so erin, it is good to be with you. i don't think it is shaping up to be successful. that's my assessment. the most important thing is at the end of the day what we pass have to embrace that gold vision that president biden put forward in the american jobs plan and the american family plan. even if somehow despite bipartisan agreement were to work out, it would not begin to cover or match that division. no matter what, we need to be working

senator joe manchin and senator kirsten. just spoke to our own manu raju saying he's not going to do this just democrats. here is what he said. >> we have got to work together and that takes a lot of time and energy and patience. you can only do so much by yourself. >> even if you were to go that route, this bill will not become law without him. what do you sa i to -- say? >> the policies that progressives are pushing for are policies that are popular with the american people. lowering drug prices and investing in the care economy, rebuilding our crumbling school infrastructures. we introduce the care that centers care of the rebirth of our economy. that's very popular among the american people so is investing in our school infrastructure and lowering drug prices. i encourage senator manchin to look at what's been happening with water quality in west virginia for many years. what's happening with poverty in west virginia for many years and what's happening with the american people overall. this is our moment, history is goin

. >> kirsten cinema, the senator is defending the filfilibuster. believes it forces compromise and you're saying the framers didn't say that and wrote an op ed published today. how is she wrong? >> that's right. this is one of the flaws that the framers pointed out. they take on the same argument. hamilton wrote when a first sight might see a remedy is a poison. you might intuitivety think the super majority would promote compromise as cinema says it does. they explained that's not what happens if you give the minority the ability to wheel the veto over the majority, what will happen is the minority will find it impossible to resister the temptation to use that veto. and they're going to use it to make the majority look bad, to gridlock everything that happens in washington. you know, they predicted this. senator cinema seems content to ignore that wisdom and continue to engage in this myth that has been debunked by the framers in 1789 and debunked by our real life experience of the son and daughter to-- senate today and they predicted it would hap

democrats, kirsten cinema, joe manchin republican bill cassidy of louisiana and then he plans to be in touch with them by phone while in europe. statement also says biden told senate majority leader chuck schumer to get ready to bring some of his economic plans to the floor for possible votes in july. >> we all know as a caucus we will not be able to do all the things that the country needs and it's totally bipartisan way. and so at the same time we are pursuing the pursuit of reconciliation. >> translation there, be prepared to see some party line votes to pass some at least biden's agenda. that won't help the pending voting rights legislation. today, the man in the news democratic joe manchin whose opposition means the bills effectively going nowhere met with some of the civil rights leaders who argue passage of this legislation is crucial. mentions position seems to be unchanged. >> what we have is a great, we had a respectful it was a very good conversation we had starting at the relationship it really was. >> and it turns out bipartisanship in the senate made on full life support

joe manchin and kirsten sinema said they have refused to get rid of the filibuster. vice president harris, over you do. turn around that dynamic. it's such a high priority for the democrat ing base it allows the vice president to be the sort of champion this issue they care about a ton. i mean, all machineries should care about voting rights obviously, but gets this legislation through or finding some compromise. for that, she'll have a high-profile role. yeah, it might be a little bit of an upgraichlt. >> i wonder win or lose if it animates democrats to say, it's not too bad, but also what comes around, goes around. i remember being tasked with that. i'm seeing that play out right now. we've heard from the chair of the rnc pachblt she's warning they should boycott the presidential debates unless serious changes are made. what changes are we talking about? rules disqualifying journalists with bias as she puts it. >> right. one of the things republicans got very worked up about is steve scully was named one of the moderators, and decades ago he had history working for

today, biden also met with kirsten cinema, one of the members of the senators who have been working on their own version of the bill. the white house says that biden plans to meet this week with other members of the group. >> he's ready to roll up his sleeves, the door to the oval office is always open and he will be engaged in these negotiations in the coming days. he does not feel times and limited and he would like -- it is not weeks in his view in terms of moving forward and seeing if there isn't bipartisan path forward so that is why he is eager to have these meetings and see what it looked like. see if we can address some of the questions he has about this proposal and certainly he would like to move forward sooner rather than later. >> the administration is also looking for a deal on police reform bill. it's begun to go shaded in the senate by republican tim scott of south carolina and democrat cory booker of new jersey. >> there's no reason not to be optimistic but certainly will be helpful to see some progress between now and tomorrow, wednesday so. we are in the process of al

kirsten sinema and joe mansion a diehard defender of the filibuster writing in a washington post op edmpels moderation, more likely compels minority rule. the filibuster allows a determined minority like republicans whose leader says he's 100% focused on stopping president joe biden's agenda. the filibuster allows them to do just that and it's been going on for decades. we played this for you a couple weeks ago and i want to play it for you again because i think it is relevant and you need to hear it as often as possible. this is dr. martin luther king junior back in 1963. >> i think the tragedy is that we have a congress with a senate that has a minority of misguided senators who will use the filibuster to keep the majority of people voting and suddenly they wouldn't want the majority of people to vote because they know they do not represent the majority of the american people. >> so the filibuster has been used again and again to kill civil rights and voting registration. former president barack obama speaking at the funeral of john lewis calling it a relics of jim crow. >> this take

with the two democrats who he had called out as sort of the most republican-friendly joe manchin and kirstena on the infrastructure talks, but you can be sure both talks came up with both senators at the same time. >> yeah. well, mike, how is the white house thinking about the intra-party democratic politics on this? i was talking with senator a me pennsylvania avenue, if they can't figure out how to say yes to the bipartisan deal and the reconciliation package that includes climate provisions at the same time, he wants a guarantee both of those things will pass he may not vote for it and says he speaks for potentially many other democrats as well, which could make this deal trickier, how is the white house thinking about that group? thinking about that group, and they're critical in a reconciliation bill because kyrsten sinema and joe manchin might be nervous passing a bill with bernie sanders's name on it. >> remember the campaign about infrastructure was to basically say their infrastructure deal was also their climate proposal. so you can understand senator marquee, senator white house,

new york democratic senator kirsten gillibrand says the democratic plan includes money for health and education. what she calls human infrastructure. >> while i could support small bipartisan bill. i would not supported at the expense of not having a vote or not having enough votes for a full reconciliation package. schumer said he wants to take up an infrastructure package in july. >> reporting in washington. i'm basil john. >> well, if you've gone grocery shopping or got gas recently. you've probably noticed a price hike on a lot of everyday items. so lawmakers are now worried that prices are going to go even higher. the cost of used cars plane tickets furnitures. it's all going up. the federal reserve's latest inflation projections also went up to more than 3% for the year. a point higher than they predicted in march. some members of congress say it is about to get worse. the way we're going with inflation right now. we're going to see the worst inflation that we've seen since world war 2. >> and inflation is taxation. we've already seen groceries go up over 21%. >> outside of cong

. >> arizona senator kirsten cinema did not comment on the second package there in the driveway at the white house. but she did comment about it later. here is what she said about the bipartisan agreement. >> there are many who say bipartisanship is dead in washington d.c. and across this country. this historic agreement today between republicans and democrats in the senate and with the president of the united states shows that a group of people who are committed with a shared values to solving the problems and challenges our country faces, we can use bipartisanship to solve these challenges. as rob said and as the president said, no one got everything they wanted in this package. we all gave some to get some because what we did was put first the needs of our country. this does represent a historic investment in our countries infrastructure, and it meets the needs of folks who live from virginia out to arizona. >> later, at the white house, president biden explained the leverage that he believes he has to make sure the senate passes both a bipartisan bill with 60 votes or more and the

. >> on that point, it seems like the non-joe mansion kirsten cinema democrats are getting not just nervousbut also frustrated. what are you hearing? >> yeah, they're ready to walk away from the table, frankly, john. many of them suggested they shouldn't deal with republicans to begin with. they have the option of going through reconciliation which means they can pass the bill with 51 votes and that's the route they can take. they ran into problems because folks like mansion and cinema refuse to vote for a deal that doesn't have some sort of republican support and this is the danger zone that president biden finds himself in. this narrow room for negotiation. if he ends up endorsing a bill too many republicans support, he could end up losing progressive votes not just on the senate side. this bill would have to go back and be passed in the house and margin there is are very, very tight and if ten, 15 democrats on the progressive side of the ledger don't vote for it in the house the whole deal falls apart. this is a tenuous situation for the white house and democrats here in the senate and h

. >> so let's discuss now with our senior political analyst kirsten powers and april ryan, white houseashington bureau chief of the grio. she is also the author of "at mama's knee." good evening, thanks for joining. april, i'll begin with you. the former president in this new interview talked about the tradeoffs he had to make did you go his presidency, whether it was more important to get real on race in america or get policy done on things like health care and so on. is the calculation the same or different now for the biden administration? >> i believe the calculation is different. he is indeed a transformational president. i believe once this presidency is over, he will be viewed, if everything he's trying to do as it relates to race and equity goes through, he will be viewed as one of those pillars in america. but when you come to then president barack obama, he had different circumstances. race and politics will always follow him because of the unique nature of who he is and his presidency. he was absolutely right. the tea party was formed, why? because he became president. you h

. >> have you been in contact with joe mansion or kirsten cinema about going the path of reconciliationoing without republicans? you need every democrat on board for that. >> ultimately, we are going to need every democrat and i think ultimately it's going to be a product of the failure of these negotiations to produce anything that matches the magnitude of the climate crisis which we are facing. we need a massive expansion of wind and solar and all electric vehicles and plug in hybrids and battery storage in our country. we can save all the creation by engaging in massive job recreatn and republicans aren't going to support any of it. nothing that is climate centered will be allowed by the republicans to be in infrastructure bill. >> how much jeopardy do you think the democratic agenda is in and how much time do you realistically think you have? look, i know it's still 2021. we're barely half way through. we're not even half way through 2021 for the midterm elections coming up and how concerned you might not have the majority of that? >> my feeling is that we have to be big. we have to

and so we're rolling towards a big reconciliation bill maybe with joe manchin, kirsten cinema in tow.s $6 trillion plan, and it feels like that's the new starting point. i'm hearing numbers as high as $3 trillion as a compromise within the democratic party. this is probably what biden, president biden's going to have to do to bring in some of these progressives who may be feeling left out of the process. what do you think? >> but the question is whether he loses some of these senate moderates. so joe manchin, the west virginia moderate, was asked by a reporter what he thinks about this two-tandem process, getting two bills for one. and what he said, essentially, twrowp, i'm not going to pledge i'm going to vote for this thing i haven't seen yet, and he specifically said $6 trillion seems like a little much. to they're going of to have to restart their own negotiation inside the democratic party now. charles: right. kyle, the department of justice filing a lawsuit against the state of georgia. it seems to be really inflammatory just from the headlines. tell us about it. >> well, the ju
