we will ask senator lindsey graham and moments. how does the white house all problem? more coming up. laura: the biden white house is to blend average infrastructure framework calling it historic. the 70 republicans who voted to advance the bill throwing biden a lifeline. is one of those 17 republican senators lindsey graham, this is $1 trillion bill, facing massive inflation and other pressures and donald trump said you've made his terrible deal the republicans are big losers here, democrats the big winners. wising wrong? >> i think he is wrong. he had over $1.7 trillion infrastructure spending which i supported, we can never get it done. this is $1.2 trillion for roads, bridges and ports and if you don't think we've got a road, bridge and port problem you are not looking at america the way it is, $3 trillion bill they want to follow along with his socialism but count me in for roads, bridges and sports, i understand what i'm for and what i'm against and i think america -- laura: you think it is the same economy it was when donald trump was in office, inflationary pre

jim jordan ought to be ashamed of himself and lindsey graham. i want to get into lindsey graham's head to straighten him out. he is disruptive as well. we need to get these laws passed on voting rights, so that all americans, black, green, blue, whatever they can vote like we did in 2020. black lives matter did not attack the capitol in none of their marches. host: kelly armstrong of north dakota is one of the selections by the republican party. a call next from north dakota. we have one from new jersey. tom, new jersey, republican line. caller: for anybody to accept any information from this committee is going to have to be bipartisan. you take any law or anything else. you have a jury. who picks the jury? not just the prosecutor, but the prosecutor gets to pick who he wants, the defense picks who he wants. then you have a fair trial. how can you have a fair trial of one of them pick everybody who is going to be on? you can be sure they are not going to be able to convince all of the people in the u.s. that it was fair. host: delaware, gerald.

we pointed out lindsey graham, who's been critical of a number of things. at are you hearing on capitol hill? leigh ann: and senator graham was also critical when president trump was talking about removing forces from afghanistan as well. but also senate motor leader mitch mcconnell put out a scathing statement a couple of weeks ago criticizing this plan and republicans are prepared to ma president bind own this decision. this was a decision that a president was going to have to make at some point. his predecessors were unwilling to do it and now that president biden has done it, republicans are going to sound the alarm and this is not a story that's going to end today. this is a story that's going to develop defending on what happens in afghanistan moving forward and this is something that could have big political consequences, perhaps, for president biden, even though the american people at this point are supportive of it. yamiche: and talking about a story that's going to continue, we turn to haiti and the assassination of the plt, from jovenel moise. on

senator lindsey graham, the media calling this effort, quote, bipartisan. house this bipartisan and why would single republican even if you are retiring grant them souvenir of legitimacy here? >> we are not going to proceed to a bill that is not written because that makes no sense of president biden wants to do infrastructure, roads, bridges and ports around $1 trillion, plenty republicans work with them, chuck schumer is trying to blow this effort up. can you imagine, you've been around town for a while. i cloture on a bill that doesn't exist is insane, so president biden, get on the phone to schumer and tell them to stand down, tell him you're undercutting an effort to find common ground on infrastructure regarding roads, bridges and ports. you can tell schumer to stop what he will not i don't know but you should try to stop him from blowing this up. >> amy klobuchar gave away the game, watch. >> what you can do with infrastructure which is not in the bipartisan package and i'm glad they are continuing to negotiate and make progress, what you can do is pu

here now it's one of those 17 republicans, senator lindsey graham. this is a trillion dollar bill at a time we are facing massive inflation, president trump said you guys have made a terrible deal, that republicans are big losers and democrats are the big winners so why is he wrong? >> i think he's wrong because he had a bill for $1.7 trillion infrastructure spending which i supported, we could never get it done. 1.2 trillion for roads, bridges and ports and if you don't think we have a road, bridge and port problem you are not looking at america the way it is. the $3.5 trillion bill they want to follow up with is socialism but count me in for roads, bridges and ports paid for. i understand what i'm for and i understand what i'm against and -- >> laura: do you think this is the same economy as there was one president trump was in office? that inflationary pressure that we are seeing today have no effect on the spending and that this is not a glide path to make -- >> sure. >> laura: $3 trillion spending is possible, huge win for the white house, they

south carolina senator, lindsey graham. okay.use you and i have had many discussions, even years back debates over the borders. secure the border first and that has not happened. we now have nearly 200,000 people a month. the answer is simple in my mind. >> right. yeah, it is. i've been dealing with illegal immigration for 15 years. policies that incentivize illegal immigration, you will get more of it. if a policy deters illegal immigration, you will get less. the dumbest idea in all of washington would be to grant amnesty in an infrastructure bill without first securing the border. you would have an invasion beyond what you have today. if we legalized 100,000 people or a million people in the infrastructure bill, it would be a run on our borders because everybody would get the message that they are legalizing people in america. let's go and let's go now. you have to secure the border before you grant one person legal status. if you don't, you will lose control of america, of our sovereignty. >> sean: well, and the amnesty behin

two, it makes you realize that part of what lindsey graham said there is correct.ing here, you could incentivize even more. and three, it screams again the lack of a hemispheric strategy to how we are going to address this challenge combined with border security first both beg the question. i think democrats who believe that we are going to, first of all the amnesty idea is dumb. i don't know if it's the dumbest idea. but any democrat that votes for something like this is probably setting him or herself up for defeat next november. some may like that. it's just bad policy. finally, and i come back to where i have always been on this. 90 miles off for sure there is a communist nation called cuba here we see the unrest there. it could lead to something more positive. you look at honduras, nicaragua. you look at mexico. we have a challenge in this region that we are not going to solve by remarking on it overnight or even democrats and republicans yelling in congress everyday. get the border done. i have an argument for building the wall and then let's figure out what

here with reaction, south carolina senator lindsey graham. former states are hell-bent on defunding the police, dismantling the police, reimagining the police, eliminating bail laws and then almost 300 riots last summer saying even though we have incontrovertible evidence of you knowing bricks and rocks and bottles, molotov cocktails or cops, we are not going to do a thing, 3,000 cops injured. is there anything you guys in washington can do? >> we need to support the police more, but no, i can't run san francisco, it's not my job. you do this in south carolina, you will be lucky if you go to jail, lucky if somebody doesn't shoot you so i say that because we have lost deterrence, these big democratic cities and states have lost deterrence, people no longer feel afraid to assault someone in the street. no one feels afraid to go into walmart and clean out the place because nobody in the prosecution level is going to do a thing and the democratic party as the party of catch and release when it comes to criminals and illegal immigrants and we have

senator lindsey graham ripped democrats proposal of amnesty to the spending bill. >> this is a powerastructure. they want to put amnesty in that bill. if you give one person legal status there will be a run on our border like you've never seen before. the dumbest idea in the history of the senate, the history of the white house. it will lead to a breakdown of law and order beyond what you see today. >> harris: pete. >> that comes from lindsey graham who was a part of previous amnesty efforts. donald trump showed up and said until you stop the flow you can't talk about that conversation. now we know that they are opening the spigot on the southern border, they aren't closing it. talk of an amnesty bill means you create a perpetual cycle of lawlessness and it has to go through reconciliation. they don't have the votes to pass it. they need 51 votes. it should affect the budget. the parliamentarian knows amnesty has nothing to do with the budget. hopefully it's stripped out at the last minute. but clearly their priority and it is horrific in what it is doing to the incentives it's telli

think of lindsey graham who is always appearing in the books as the voice of reason. he always wants to be quoted saying he tried on talk the president back from the cliff. people are talking about what really happened. and how incredibly worried they were, and how unstable trump was. that's happening. and kevin mccarthy can't stop it. >> lindsey graham will not be reynold in history as somebody who was doing the right thing during this period. i will make my bones on that bet. i'm not a betting man. >> they're banking on this. this is probably the most dangerous tool in the political tool box. even in their statement. the biden administration just announced they're working with facebook to censor more americans. big tech and the government want the same thing to control you, as a recalminder, america is a lachbld freedom. they don't even mention this is only within the context of things are demonstrably false and said to be deceptive. they don't even mention that part. why? >> well, you would think that the truth will all come out eventually when the january 6th comm

having a party versus lynn jamie or lindsey graham. do you know what's in the short-term interest of the party that we keep an ace or do you say even if it goes against the party there's certain core principles that we have to abide by as a matter of conscience. that's the kind of thing that you will not understand. he's got far fewer especially madison, pure theorists as opposed to an actor. >> it may is a tough note but also all a. online same as was a politician using mouse visions should elect james madison. so let's in there. professor akhil reed amar, peggy new york historical society. >> in homegrown heat, floor finale prepares the nurses and doctors and police nationalists militant islamists in the united states. here's a portion of her recent conversation on. >> in the book, essentially the parallels can be seen with both the self-perpetuating narratives as well as a demonization of the other essentially justifies the use of violence . so nationalists in the united states and transnational around the world harness this sense o

lindsey graham did not commit at all to either. but manchin did.uestion is, what is in the john lewis bill? and then, will they break the filibuster to pass the bill or work a carve-out. even if you have a perfect bill, even if whatever comes out today from the eight that met with majority leader schumer yesterday, you still have to deal with how do you pass it. which is going to bring you right back to filibuster reform or carve-out for voting. >> there you go. the devil is in those very tricky details. we have also been watching, rev, this hearing with texas lawmakers. they have had some luck, i think, focusing attention on the challenges at the state level, as an example of why federal action is needed. add to that our nbc reporting that they're going to be meeting with the clintons and stacey abrams. they're going to make this big push. all hands on deck, essentially, but you know the reality of congress and what democrats and activists are up against. what's it going to take, what's going to have to happen for some real movement, do you think?
