thank you to lisa, leigh ann and josh for sharing your reporting. a reminder of the sacrifices made during the january 6 capitol attack. thursday, president biden signed the bill awarding the congressional gold medal to a group of officers who defended the capitol building and those inside, a stark reminder of the deep trauma of that tragedy that still lingers. tune in to the "pbs newshour" for climate crisis, landmark u.n. report and dire warnings. that's monday on the pbs nowrss. we'll continue the conversation on "washington week extra" and be answering your questio about the pandemic. thank you so much for joining us for this important conversation. i'm yamiche alcindor. good night from washington.

leigh ann, any updates since we last spoke?n, but i can say a source sent me the text of the latest draft of this bill. it runs about 2,700 pages. other sources are still cautioning me that this is still an active negotiation and that there could still be some substantial changes made to this. so even as senate majority leader chuck schumer said a couple of hours ago, a few hours ago now that a deal is imminent, it still seems like they are still working on it. leader schumer created and had the senate in session to try to move things along. perhaps it was necessary to get everyone to finally agree to things, but it's still taking quite a bit of time and much longer than expected, yasmin. >> i want to get to this mccarthy news real quick, but just update folks while i have you kind of on what happens next once this text actually drops? >> reporter: yeah. so what happens next is that there will be some official filing of this legislation on the senate floor. it doesn't take any votes. but then senators will be able to file amend

rachael leigh cook joins us live.u this morning. >> so good to see you guys. you're having way too much fun over there. hello, hello. >> we've had too much coffee but we are super excited about this brand-new movie. we have to start, though, with the og, "she's all that." it's literally one of the quintessential teen movies of our childhood. take us back to making it in 1999. >> oh, my goodness. first of all, how much do you remember about your life, your day-to-day life 20 years ago, it's a little bit blurry, but filming the movie was a great experience, you know, it was -- it's exhausting. it's a pretty grueling schedule but it was such a wonderful time for me and i sort of left my regular high school very early, i think it was like midway through my freshman year, so i really consider this movie and the people who i got to work on it with like my sort of by proxy like actual classmates from a million years ago so they don't have to agree with that story but that's what i'm going with. >> and we just watched the cli

leigh ann, i think you caught up with her today.insists she's going to remain there until something is done. listen to what she told me. >> we want biden to pen, you know, an eviction moratorium, and getting that executive order done, but we're not just leaving it on the white house. we're asking for congress, we're asking house leadership to recon seen us, bring us back. bring us back, because this is our job. we can't go on recess, we can't go on vacation when millions of people's lives are at risk. >> reporter: so she is going to replain on the house steps. she's been there since friday night. speaker pelosi just put out a new letter to her colleagues once again calling on the white house to do something and saying that treasury secretary janet yellen about brief democrats tomorrow on why tens of billions of dollars for rent relief has not been allocated or has not been spent. so we could get an update on that process after that meeting tomorrow, andrea. >> thanks to you, leigh ann, and phil rucker. congratulations again on "i al

leigh ann caldwell is on capitol hill and peter baker, of course, an msnbc political analyst.ident biden is about to make his first sales pitch on reconciliation, and many of seeing the price tag on this signature bill. so how is he going to sell this especially to those senate moderates and active moderates in the house, as we know, nancy pelosi only has a three-seat margin. >> exactly right. you know, basically, president biden has lumped his entire domestic agenda practically into this one package. it's as if we're doing the entire society with one bill. and doing it, as you point out correctly. climate, immigration, medicare. universal pre-k. community college for free. all of these big priorities wrapped into one. very big, expensive package. back to this sort of kind of defining debate that washington used to have over the size and scale of government. right? very, very familiar, those of us who covered this going back decades, democrats advocate for a more robust view and republicans say tax and spending gone amok. the problem for president biden, barely a margin in the

chuck. >> leigh ann, i'm curious.y, i'm sure last week you didn't think they'd get done what the vote-a-rama as it's called in beltway speak if you will. they moved that reconciliation bill quickly. i guess these senators want to go home. >> yeah, they do. there was 50 hours of debate if they took that up that we would just be in the first hour. and yesterday it's funny, chuck, republicans were telling me yesterday morning that they expected republicans to use all of their time to force this process out. well, that shifted extremely quickly. the vote-a-rama and first step of this reconciliation, $3.5 trillion process is baked. we know all 50 democrats are going to support this first process. so they're already four days late into their summer recess. and so why prolong it any more, chuck. >> and shannon, one of the points we made in first read today, and i'm curious if the white house believes they have to play this role, right now the human infrastructure bill is known for two things -- how big it is and that it's ab

joining me is capitol hill correspondent, leigh ann caldwell and peter baker.you've had endless hours waiting with basically nothing happening because of bill haggerty from tennessee. but now we're about to get to final debate and a vote. >> reporter: that's right, andrea. this first track that senator schumer just mentioned regarding the bipartisan infrastructure bill, well, that train is about to reach its destination in the senate, regardless of the fact that senator bill haggerty slowed down this process for several days. he wasn't able to stop it, but just make it painfully longer. the senate could vote on final passage as early as 4:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. well, actually, i should back up. they could vote as early as today if senator haggerty and others allow them to do so, but time runs out on the clock at 4:00 a.m. tuesday morning when they can vote on this final passage. if they have an agreement, it could actually be in the daylight hours tomorrow as well. immediately after, they are going to move to this $3.5 trillion resolution, which is the first

joining us now, nbc news correspondent leigh ann caldwell. the senate passing the infrastructure bill, of course, a huge win for president biden. it will be a long road before the bill actually gets to his desk. what do you expect next? >> it sure is a long road, alicia. the senate on that long road of $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill. now, both of those measures go over the house of representatives, the bipartisan bill and the process. now speaker pelosi says she's only going to take up when they come back to session later this month. the 3.5 trillion first step process. she is holding up on that bipartisan bill, until the senate completes the rest of the process on this human infrastructure bill. they still have to write the legislation. and then they have to vote on it again. and now that is going to be a large block of moderates in the party who say they will not support this bipartisan bill until they see every single line of legislative text of this human infrastructure bill. and that's why speaker pelosi is waiting. so, we might not g

leigh ann caldwell is there. where do we stand? >> the senate worked through the weekend to continue this bipartisan infrastructure bill and they took another key procedural vote last night that could look very like the vote on final passage. and on that vote, there are 19 republicans who supported this bipartisan bill. there were two republicans who were absent who were likely to vote for it. so that would make the number to 21. you have members of mcconnell's leadership team, including senator roy blunt and mcconnell himself who voted for it. including members of this g22 bipartisan group who came up with this legislation. but i will say the republicans are divided on this issue. not only on the vote itself and the legislation itself, but also on messaging. you had members like senator todd young of indiana who came out last night saying he's not going to vote for it because it's tied too closely to the $3.5 trillion human infrastructure bill. well, they are divided on messaging because people like leader mcconnell saying, no, th

leigh ann caldwell snapped a photo of the bill as it made the first rounds of the hill, and that stackor roads and brejs and broadband access and billions more for clean water, and dealing with climate change. the focus now turns to getting it passed in the senate. majority leader chuck schumer is eyeing votes as soon as possible, but the august recess set to begin next week, but today, the minority leader mitch mcconnell insisted they should not be in a rush. >> i encourage the senators from both sides of the aisle to submit the potential amendments on the bill. let's start voting on the amendments, because the longer it takes to finish the bill, the longer we will be here. >> the artificial timetable of the bill will not be penciled out for the colleagues across the aisle for political purposes. >> and joining us is our colleague from politico, and eugene daniels as well, and so i will urge to not say that it is infrastructure bill and say it is infrastructure week, but walk us through what we will see on this bill, and when we could see some votes on this. >> sure. the bill is to be

leigh ann caldwell has been covering this for us. where do things stand at this hour?een awhile and we're close to the finish line, at least in this step of the process where the senate is expected to vote on final passage as early as today but more likely tomorrow morning. the senate worked through the weekend. it took longer than planned because bill haggardy slowed down the process. he got a congratulations from the president. he put the bill on the regional amtrak instead of acela. both trains get to the finish line, get to their destination, but one takes longer than the other. so it has been drawn out, but on a key procedural vote, it gained the support of 19 republicans and that is a sign of how the vote in the final passage will come down with at least the support of 19 republicans. that mean it's will be a big bipartisan accomplishment. the senate work is not done before they leave for august recess. the senate just unveiled this morning the outlines of their 3.5 trillion reconciliation human infrastructure bill and that is a process they are going to start im

let's check in on leigh ann caldwell.but walk me through is there anything that could derail this? >> not really, chuck. things last night broke down, but it just slowed down the process. it's not going to stop it or derail it. there is opposition over a crypto currency. and then one senator objected to how the cbo scored the infrastructure bill. he didn't take into account they think the economy, the economic growth, will help to pay for it. so these objections are not stopping anything. things will pass, it will just take more time. they hoped to wrap up last night, the process will continue on saturday. they need the support of all 100 senators to agree on times of folks. so we'll see but by the end of the weekend it should be wrapped up, but then a lot of americans want to take on that $3.5 million partisan bill. >> there was another story you were scooping us on. they said there would be voting rights bills voted on next week. will that be amendments to the reconciliation package? if it is, forgive me for being cynic

leigh ann, they're back. it's infrastructure day. things are happening. we're expecting an action-packed morning. walk us through what the next few hours are going to look like. >> hey, garrett, that's right. this vote is finally happening on a bipartisan infrastructure bill, something that the former president donald trump talked about a lot and wasn't able to get done, even president obama used to talk a little bit about infrastructure, wasn't able to get that done. it will be a big day for the senate and president biden today. this vote is expected to pass going to take place around 11:00 a.m. this morning. if we look at how many republicans will vote for it, a good indicator is a key procedural vote that took place a couple days ago where 19 republicans came down in support of it. one of the republicans, senator lindsey graham wasn't there for the vote because of a covid diagnosis. he is back on the hill today and also is expected to vote for it. as many as 20 republicans will vote for the legislation. all eyes are turning to what is happening next, a

leigh ann caldwell for us there from the capitol rotunda. leigh ann, thank you. and thank you for joining me. that will do it for me this hour. special presidential envoy for climate john kerry will join andrea mitchell right now on "andrea mitchell reports." >>> and good day. this is "andrea mitchell reports" in washington where president biden is calling on business and university leaders to mandate vaccine requirements in the ongoing fight against the delta variant slamming communities and hospitals across the country. that discussion this hour is the president and leading republican governors continue their fight over mask mandates for schools. >> people should not be dying from a viral illness. period. they shouldn't be dying from covid-19. we're seeing pretty rapid changes to the health of the individuals that are infected with the virus. >> and a day after andrew cuomo's announcement that he's going to resign we will hear for the first time from his successor lieutenant governor kathy hochul who in the 13 days will make history as new york's first woman go

. >> nbc's leigh ann caldwell is on capitol hill. how soon are we talking here?de the ten republican votes necessary to pass the bill if schumer cuts off debate and stops offering amendments. republicans say it's a 2,700 page bill and they need time to go through it to know how to amend it. democrats are getting extremely anxious, wanting to move pass this on to their reconciliation bill, $3.5 trillion. i caught up with senator roy blunt, a republican member of leadership and he explained what's going on here and says it's not just the democratic party. there's some issues with his own party, too. let's listen. there are enough amendments, is it moving too quickly for you? >> i think we're having amendment votes. we could have more, big problems on the other side allowing us to move forward with amendments. >> reporter: the senate has so far voted on eight amendments. our team caught up with senator rob portman who says they'd like 19 amendments, that could last a couple more days. some are frustrated. another way to look at this, hallie, at least the senate is l

joining me is leigh ann caldwell. this has implications to the process. tell us what they are and give us the reality check whether pelosi is at risk of being somewhat derailed here. >> reporter: hey, hallie. there is a big risk here. we always knew that it was going to be a difficult task for speaker pelosi to keep all of her members united, because remember, she can only lose three democrats for anything to pass the house of representatives. so when nine members sign a letter saying they are not going to vote for something, that matters and she has to pay attention. now, what these nine moderate democrats are saying is that when the house comes back into session in a couple weeks to vote on that $3.5 trillion budget framework on their big human infrastructure bill, they say they they aren't going to vote for it. they want the bipartisan traditional infrastructure bill to be signed into law first. this puts pelosi in a difficult position because there are moderates, three of whom on their front line districts, meaning they are at risk of losing their re-

morning, and fingers are crossed in washington right now, and joining me is white house correspondent leighl. and so it is as if we are getting beyond the 30-hour window at this point when it is coming to the debate, and so where are we in the time line and when can we be expecting this vote? >> hi, yasmin. yes, the 30 hours runs out at 4:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. so, there is a chance that the senate will vote on final passage of this infrastructure bill very early tomorrow morning. of course, anything can happen in the senate if there is a support of all 100 senators, so perhaps there is some sort of agreement to move that vote into daylight hours, but, agreement among all senators has been difficult to come by, and that is why this process over the fast -- past few days has been taking so long. and senator hagerty has been holding up any time lines to move quickly through the process, because he is not liking that the bill is not completely paid for according to the congressional budget office official score. but senator hagerty could not stop the bill, but slow it down. it looks like it

i'm hallie jackson in washington joined by kerry sanders, leigh ann caldwell and shannon pettypiece and dr. bernard ashby, florida state lead for the committee to protect health care. dr. ashby, i want to start with you and this is not your purview what's happening in new york city but as a medical professional, i have to ask you about it. this is just coming in to us reporting out of the "new york times" this big move potentially by mayor de blasio who, according to the paper, is set to announce any minute, i don't think we have that live stream up just yet but we'll bring it up in a second as it gets going set to announce vaccine requirement indoors in the nation's biggest city. i believe this would be the first of its kind mandate in this country, similar mandates have been put in place at areas overseas. i wondered just initially hearing this, dr. ashby, what your take on this is, and what the impact could be. >> that's a loaded, loaded question. so let me start with the fact that -- >> break it down then. pick apart where you want to go with that, doc. >> let's establish the fact v

leigh ann caldwell, democrats are upset, some calling on him to apologize. are you hearing on your end there? >> reporter: hey, hallie. it's silence from republicans, the only republican we've heard from is the republican you mentioned, the spokesman to leader mccarthy who says leader mccarthy was joking when he made those remarks. there are many democrats who are coming to speaker pelosi's defense, taking to twitter and tweeting things like "america suffered enough violence around politics. gop mccarthy is now a would-be assailant. he needs to resign. another "violence against women is no laughing matter." drew hamel "a threat of violence to someone a target of a january 6th assassination attempt from your fellow trump supporters is irresponsible and disgusting." some of these members are calling on leader mccarthy to in fact resign, something that we do not expect him to do, but hallie, the relationship between pelosi and mccarthy was never good, but after january 6th, it has just disintegrated into something where they don't speech to each other. speaker

leigh ann caldwell, thank you.>>> new today signs donald trump could be planning his next political move. according to a new report from "the new york times," trump has built a war chest of more than $100 million. this comes as trump's former chief of staff, mark meadows, says trump has been meeting with cabinet members to discuss the future. >> we met with some of our cabinet members tonight. we had a follow-up member meeting with some of our cabinet meters. as we were looking at that, we were looking at what does come next. i'm not authorized to speak on behalf of the president. i can tell you this, steve, we wouldn't be meeting tonight if we weren't making plans to move forward in a real way and with president trump at the head of that ticket. >> joining me is katty kay, washington editor. how do you interpret what meadows said? he talks about the president. he talks about the cabinet. >> unofficially donald trump is running, right? and while he's running unofficially it's impossible for other candidates like ro

leigh ann caldwell joins me now. >> this is not a blanket eviction moratorium for everybody.ead and transmission from the delta variant. but they also say it will impact 90% of renters. now, how this came about because of course the regular moratorium expired last saturday, there was a protest by representative corey bush on the steps of the capital. he is was furious this came and went with no action by the white house. and her refusal as she was joined by other progressive members to leave those capital steps put a lot of pressure on the white house and on speaker pelosi. speaker pelosi had multiple conversations with president biden, many conversations with his aids saying there was a health emergency and together the leadership pressure and the pressure by representative bush got the white house to act and to do this direct, but targeted eviction moratorium extension at least for the next 60 days, jose. >> thank you very much for that explanation. >>> burned out and overwhelmed. the delta variant is surging in all 50 states and there is nearly 3.2 million cases in texas.

oren leigh lieberman at the pentagon. oren, what do we know first of all about this u.s.ike? >> the strike was carried out by a drone that came in probably from a base in the gulf. the initial information was there was a secondary source of ex-sieves, meaning on board that car that triggered a larger explosion which is part of the reason that led the u.s. to believe they hit their target. it is unclear according to defense officials we've spoken with, whether it was a car bomb or whether there were one or more suicide bombers on board that car ready to carry out what u.s. central command called an imminent threat to the airport. that information is still being assessed. defense officials are sure they hit a valid target because of the explosives on board. we're looking for more information on that, as well as assessing civilian casualties as a result of the strike. it was only about 15 hours ago that the u.s. embassy in kabul said they had a credible threat and warned u.s. citizens to get away from the airport and away from specific gates. president joe biden has said jus

all comes to me comes down to the false choice that exists between leaving, you have to completely leighd about the fact this is the same white house saying nobody could have seen that the afghan troops would melt away. now everyone is telling us that isis does not have the ability to attack us at home. which am i supposed to believe? that gives us pause. we know legitimized the taliban as a terror state and we know they're in bed with al-quaida and the haqqani network. that doesn't mean we stay. >> then it's october, then next year and -- >> you leave when you have the united states citizens out and under conditions that -- >> put it in geraldo's frame of mind. it's like getting a divorce. >> yes. >> but you work toward it. everybody gets together. >> the more you fight the inevitable, the bigger the price you pay. this is a voice of wisdom. >> a terrible analogy on my part. >> he's an expert. >> i'm the expert. i worry that it sounds almost like we're rooting for more failure in afghanistan when i really do believe there is a narrow window with this taliban de facto government is now m

when we leave and hopefully with all americans that want to leigh and that is debatable, what is afghanistan going to look like? >> first off, thanks for having me. this is the question. quite frankly i don't think we have a clear idea yesterday. first off, when afghanistan collapsed so quickly, the initial fear is that we would have a massive humanitarian crisis nationwide. surprisingly, we haven't seen that yet. my fear is that several months down the line when it's very clear that afghanistan under the taliban is bankrupt, being cut off as previous guests have said from the international system by and large, by the world bank and what have you, that i think could set off a very severe humanitarian crisis. we can swiftly seeing population movements to all of afghanistan's different neighbors. so that is one thing. of course, the terrorism element to me is a particular concern. kind of remarkable that we've pressed rewind 20 years back and placed afghanistan back to where it was before. but with a much more intelligent, better taliban with more international relationships. it's terrifying s

nbc's leigh ann caldwell is on capitol hill. even getting this bipartisan bill through is massive. one could say this is the crowning achievement of the biden white house, but already all 50 democrats have voted to move the $3.5 trillion bill forward. that does not mean they're definitely voting for it. joe manchin has already said it's way too much money. can you explain what's going on? >> reporter: that's right, stephanie. this is just the first of several steps that democrats have to take to pass this $3.5 trillion bill. what they did last night is they passed an outline and now they have to go back and write the legislation, and the senate vote on that was at about 4:30 this morning and there was barely time for senators to clear the chamber when senator joe manchin dropped a bombshell, saying that he has a lot of concerns about the $3.5 trillion price tag. in a statement he says he worries about the economy overheating and that the country will not be able to adequately prepare for future crises if they spend that money now. now, this is not a new position of senator manchin.

women's leaders, civil rights leaders who worked with companies and non-government organizations, groups leigh like save the children and others and afghan women's groups who have been so active there in coordination with u.s. groups. those people were supposed to be included but they are really at the back of the line, behind the siv people who need those flights out. so i don't know what is going to happen to them. there is deep, deep, grave concern among the human rights community. refugees international and othen groups have been speaking out. the human rights organizations here and around the world, it could be a blood bath for these people who have as well as the translators who have been potentially in the line oftr fa as the taliban takes over. that's really almost a fait accompli, the terms and whether they will live up to those terms as we see imminently i would expect the afghan governmenting agreeing to terms where they will be stepping down and handing over power. right now, nancy pelosi organized a conversation. we understand that secretary blinken will be briefing members of the
