joining our discussion now, democratic congressman mondaire jones of new york. and the house ethics committee. also lauren groh-wargo is with us, the ceo of fair fight action. she managed stacey abrams campaign for governor in georgia. congressman jones, the situation seems to be that there's a struggle now just to be able to keep up in congress with what republican legislatures are doing in states around the country, especially the elements of their bills in texas and georgia and now arizona that affects the way votes are counted and protected after the polls close? >> well, that's right. of course, we do have a bill, the for the people act, that would undo a lot of the voter suppression we are seeing in the places that you mentioned. of course, the for the people act has not yet had a floor vote in the united states senate, and so to the extent that people are perceiving deficiencies with respect to that legislation, i would encourage them to be patient for a couple of weeks to see if there are amendments made to senate bill one. here is the thing. there's no

joining me now, mondair jones.emocrats to to the senate this month. there's no guarantees you actually have 50 votes, why the urgency now that there's no suggestion it's going to pass. >> our democracy is in crisis. the violent insurrection told us so. so too did that vote in the senate last week in an attempt to get a bipartisan commission to investigate the events of january 6th, where you couldn't even get ten republican senators to do that, even though they nearly died alongside the rest of us at the capitol that day. mishas been to give. we want to protect the right to vote in this country, which is until assault in so many different states, most recently in the state of texas, where democracy narrowly survived a faw days ago. so indeed it seems to disenfranchise large numbers of the america electric will persist. it's why we must -- and it's why today i had a her with the rest of the new york democratic for his commit my, on the senate floor. by the end of this month. it's going to fate. we know that senator

joining me now is mondaire jones of new york.s of may 20th, you were ranked the most active freshman in congress according to an axios tally, meaning that you've sponsored and co-sponsored the most bills and resolutions. so congratulations on that. good to see you again. >> good to see you and it's always good to be here. >> let's talk about liz cheney and the republican party. liz cheney is not giving up this battle. she has rather than acting like someone who has been kicking out of leadership in the republican party, she's telling everybody else they're in the wrong party and that republicans need to claim -- reclaim the center rights. she's on the right of the party. what do you think is going on in the republican party right now. >> i think there is a civil war that is nearly ending and the people that have won that civil war with marjorie taylor greene and louie gohmert and matt gaetz and so many others who were part of the two-thirds of the house republican caucus that voted to over turn that free and fair presidential ele

they are going to get surrogates to get out there and say things, like mondaire jones saying we are goingwe know how it plays out if we don't get something done now and a republican gets in office. there's another group that's pushing this, not just democrats and progressive. there are some advocacy groups really concerned about issues like roe that would love it if they can have a reliable, more progressive voice and a younger package. >> shannon: big cases coming up, including abortion and guns and other things where the splits really matter. kevin, we are going to talk about something that i found stunning about what americans really don't know so much about. we'll talk about that. thanks, kevin. apparently something in the air as more travelers returned to flying. in some cases not so friendly skies. the latest incident on a cross-country delta flight. passengers jumping into help the flight crew subdue an unruly passenger. chief breaking news correspondent trace gallagher is checking it out. he's on the case. >> good evening, through may of this year, tsa says there's been more than

obvious hiout joe biden's obvious just take a look at this article from the ap about congressman mondaire jonesnd the interact he had with president sippy cup. he told president joe biden his party needed him more involved in passing voting legislation on the hill. in response he said, biden just sort of stared at me jones said describing an awkward silence that passed between the two. now the app described this as quote, a lackluster engagement. let me translate that. joe biden is checked out. he's cognitively weak. he's weak physically. he's weak mentally. he's a cognitive mess. even his own party is starting to admit the obvious. still don't believe me? just watch sippy cup at his remarks earlier today on gun control. take a look. >> the blood of patriots, you know, and all the stuff about how we're going to have to movea against the government. well, the tree of liberty is not water on the blood of patriots. what's happened islo that there have never been -- if you wanted to think you need to have weapons to take on the government, you need f-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons. police chief

and mondaire jones tweeted, manchin's op-ed might as well be titled, why i will vote to preserve jim does this help your effort to change minds, to convince the senator? >> well, look, everyone has their own angle. the prevailing wisdom on senator manchin is he doesn't respond to outside pressure. that's why we've taken multiple lines of -- i won't say attack. multiple lines of communication. we want him to understand that we appreciate his support for the john lewis voting rights restoration act. that's bread and butter civil rights law. we need that to fix what was undone by the voting rights act. if we only get one of these pieces of legislation, we have done less than half the job. these pieces of legislation are mutually reinforcing and we think we can break through and senator manchin can realize that, you can't support one and not the other and somehow we are the same. >> good to have you both. thank you. >>> former president obama speaks to cnn about the controversy over critical race theory in classrooms. i'll speak to the texas lawmaker who just got a bill passed to ban it

new york congressmember mondaire jones says h.r. 1 is "of foundational importance" to preserving u.s. democracy against republican attacks on voting. he tweeted sunday -- "manchin's op-ed might as well be titled, 'why i'll vote to preserve jim crow.'" at least 14 states have enacted 22 new laws this year restricting access to the vote, with republicans pushing hundreds of similar bills at state legislatures. meanwhile, huffpo reports grant woods, who prominently but aquatic senator kyrsten sinema's election, says she does not belong in office anymore unless she helps abolish the filibuster. finance ministers from seven of the world's wealthiest nations have backed a plan to set a global minimum corporate tax rate of at least 15% on multinational companies. the agreement was reached during a g7, or group of 7. german finance minister olaf scholz welcomed the deal. >> tax evasion more difficult for big companies all over the world and th is a good message for the meeting of our countries, especially the big tech giants who have to pay their fair share. this is also a good success. amy:

progressive new york congressman mondaire jones likeened his decision to a dark chapter of america's unserious. senator manchin would rather preserve jim crow on some outdated theory of bipartisanship that does not exist in the same way today as it did a generation ago. >> harris: unserious. power panel. so why play the race card there? >> interestingly enough i think if joe manchin was black they would be calling him uncle tom as well. this is a very interesting place we find ourselves in as a country. senator joe manchin from west virginia, a democrat, is the only person who is looking to save our country from going down a partisan road that's dangerous. the founders, the framers of the constitution gave the power to the states to run their elections and now democrats are looking to usurp that power and provide it to themselves for the point of continuing to stay in power. it is one that i think joe biden with his idea saying he would be a bipartisan president and work with democrats and republicans, which is becoming a lie on its face. he hasn't made much effort to work with repub

congressman mondaire jones accusing manchin of preserving jim crow, so did ocasio-cortez. congresswoman omar suggesting manchin was participating in an effort to dismantle democracy, social justice wire jamil hill calling manchin a "power-hungry white dude who's upholding white's pharmacy." maybe this explains the terror and the fear of presidency sippy cup. joe and nancy pelosi and chuck schumer to ever on any occasion stand up to the radical squad. at msdnc, one host touting his theory that senator joe manchin is not very bright and doesn't understand math. t you mean doesn't agree with you? take a look. >> why should federal action be bipartisan while republican action at a state level is totally partisan.. weeks no sense. it means the g.o.p. is waging asymmetric warfare on our democracy. even if democrats could get manchin's seven republican pals to vote for s1, it wouldn't be enough to get past his own beloved 60 vote filibuster threshold. maybe manchin is just not very bright. maybe simple math is beyond him. maybe he doesn't understand what's happening at a state le

your fellow democrat mondair jones says a justice should retire so president biden can fill his seate jones has a point. we have had very difficult experiences with making, i believe, the opposite mistake. and especially if senate democrats are not going to pass reforms on hr1, we cannot rely solely on a wish of winning elections, particularly in the senate when voting rights are under attack in georgia, arizona and texas, across the country. across the country. and if we're not going to pass hr-1 with the preemptive clauses that can roll some of that voter attacks back, yeah. i believe that we should protect our supreme court. and that that should absolutely be a consideration. >> so just to be clear, you do think that justice steven breyer should retire at the end of this term? >> you know, i -- it's something i think about, but i would probably lean towards yes, but yes, you're asking me this question. so i would give more thought to it. but i'm inclined to say yes. >> okay. after you give more thought to it, give me a call. we'll make sure to get that on the air. >> absolutely. >

mondaire jones tweeted manchin should have titled the op-ed while i will vote to preserve jim crow. >like that mean nothing if the result is that we are withholding a jim corroding status quo. >> joe manchin has become the new mitch mcconnell. he is doing the work of the republican party by being an obstructionist. >> the left wing is lowing hay makers to get him to cave. voting rights lays bears moderates and progressives. >> very articulate and they attracted attention. >> but volume doesn't pass bill votes do. democrats must rely on the vote of manchin for almost everything. >> i'm certainly not going to make that prediction as you know there can be many ups and downs of legislation moving forward. >> republicans relish democrats internal scrapping over manchin. >> i think it's a mistake for them to threaten him. they ought to listen to what he is saying. >> democrats would not control the senate without manchin voting rights and infrastructure won't pass without changes dictated by marchen. bret? >> bret: chad, very quickly, is he also taking the blow torch of criticism here. ther

and i talked to congressman mondaire jones.freshman from new york, and he told me that he specifically thinks that president biden needs to be more vocal and needs to do more behind the scenes to lean on those moderate democratic senators to break up the filibuster to push voting rights through. and this could be a bigger problem for the biden agenda because many of these progressive democrats really aren't all that excited about that bipartisan infrastructure plan that we talked about. and even if it passes through the senate, it's got to get back over to the house. if some of these progressives baulk because they feel the white house is not doing enough for their key legislative priorities, that could be a big problem. and at this point the white house has not shown what the next steps will be. >> ryan, thanks so much. i appreciate it. joining us to discuss democratic senator bob menendez of new jersey. senator, thanks for joining us, mr. chairman. your colleague, independent senator angus king of maine who caucuses with demo

mondaire jones urged breyer to retire. he not -- have we not learned our lesson? >> i think justice breyer probably got to the question about that. there's no indication that he can't do his job, that he's addled in any way. he seems to be able to function. i know there's a lot of pretense about the law that objectively applies, we know there's a lot of politics going on. some of the justices do have this idea that they are about politics. they don't want their names associated with crass political calculations. the stakes are very high. again, ruth bader ginsburg was a hero to a lot of the progressive community. she didn't step down either. >> sandra: 87 years, just last year. it's amazing, we are told these mobile billboards are going around washington, d.c., with his message for breyer to retire. it's amazing to see aoc answer that question, saying she is not taking a hard stance on it. why do you think that is? >> because i think she recognizes that she has no influence over justice breyer to the degree that is being p

some progressives were quick to criticize manchin, like new york congressman mondaire jones saying, manchin's op-ed might as well be titled, why i'll vote to preserve jim crow. even though we have seen time and time again republicans in several states push for more restrictive voter laws. >> i can tell you, what goes around, comes around. it could be more damaging to them, too. the bottome ishe decrac if can'teo that, god help us. >> reporter: manchin also repeated that he would not vote to weaken or get rid of the filibuster and that may jeopardize several other items on president biden's agenda, like police reform, immigration reform and gun control. gayle? >> thank you very much. >>> police have arrested a couple for the murder of aden laos, a 6-year-old little boy who was killed in an apparent road rage killing in southern california. officials were offering $500 reward for any lead to the suspects. i know that reward kept getting bigger and bigger and apparently it paid off. >> reporter: it sure did. there were hundreds of tips that came in, according to authorities. that led to suspects
