again, thank you, senator schumer.ere is the thing, the senator talked about the visits he made into the community and heard the concerns that people have put forth. i myself last week was in chinatown in san francisco, i visited the northeast medical services, which is a recipient of our rescue package money. i was hopeful to hear how the community, aapi community was taking the lead in an appropriate way to reach out and successfully test trace, vaccinate and the rest, leading the way. it gave us so much hope. it was so sad to also hear the stories of fear people had in the community. again, i represent san francisco in the congress, this is a place where we take pride in our aapi community. i'm sure in hawaii, new york and new jersey as well, but in san francisco, we are small in the community is large, and we are dependent. we learn a lot from that community. a week before i had virtually visited with them with our regular meeting that we have to talk about housing and any number of other issues of concern to the c

[laughing] again, thank you, senator schumer. here's the thing.s the senator talked about visits that he has made into the community and heard the concerno that people have put forth. i, myself, last week, was in chinatown in san francisco. i visited the north east medical services medical center, which is a recipient of our rescue package money, so it was very hopeful to hear how the community, aapi community, was taking the lead in a culturally, linguistically appropriate way to reach out to the community and successfully test, trace, vaccinate and the rest, again, leading the way. leading the way. it gave us so much hope. it was so sad, also, though, to hear the stories of fear peoples had in the community. again, i represent san francisco in the congress. this is a place where we take such pride in our aapi community, as i'm sure in hawaii and new york and new jersey you do, as well. but in san francisco, we're small, and the community is large, and we are very dependent. in fact, we learn a lot from that community. a week be

schumer: thank you, mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from washington is recognized. ms. cantwell: mr. president, i come to the floor to talk about the rise of hate crimes in the pacific northwest and to thank my colleague, the senator from hawaii, for her tremendous leadership in guiding us through this process to get this legislation passed in the united states senate. i want to thank her for her incredible work as a member of the judiciary committee and for getting this out and moved to the floor and to thank senator schumer and senator mcconnell for both helping us get to this point today and for our colleagues for passing this incredible legislation. but again thanks to senator hirono for knowing -- knowing and understanding and be a great member of the judiciary committee that we needed to get this legislation done now. asian americans and pacific islanders have a long history in our one and their contributions c.b.p. significant, both in cultural vibrancy to our economy and to our way of life. bu

schumer faces the same challenge that biden does. is he willing to go all the way? is he willing to confront manchin, sinema and get rid of the filibuster? is he willing to take on mitch mcconnell? is the senate majority leader willing to do what needs to be done to advance the democratic agenda? i spoke to him earlier. senator schumer, thank you so much for joining me on the show tonight. >> good to be with you, mehdi. >> look, senator, i want full disclosure from the very beginning. i used to be very critical of you. over these first 100 days, you and joe biden have managed to get the most progressive bill of my lifetime, the american rescue plan, through the senate. you got a bipartisan anti-asian hate bill through. was that always the plan, to surprise people like me from the get-go, or was this just you and the president reacting to the pandemic, this moment of crisis we're in? >> no, it goes way beyond the pandemic, mehdi. we're at a crucial turning point in this country. we have so many big problems, all of which preceded the covid pandemic, whether it be cli

senate ma'ority leader chuck schumer. . , , , , schumer. passing this bill should then _ schumer.message i schumer. passing this bill. should then a message that schumer. passing this bill- should then a message that is all too obvious, hate crimes will not be tolerated and federal law enforcement will do everything in their power to detect, deterand everything in their power to detect, deter and prosecute to the full extent of the law. fiur the full extent of the law. our north american _ the full extent of the law. our north american correspondent david willis has more. a survey conducted in the last few weeks found that about a third of asian—americans lived in fear of being attacked and 80% thought that the violence against them as a group was increasing. indeed, a group which monitors these sorts of things said it had received close to 3,800 complaints over the course of the last year, basically over the course of the pandemic. largely it's verbal attacks, if you like, but there have been some physical assaults and even some deaths. some activists blame this in part, at least,

i talked to senator schumer earlier about the filibuster.are recognizing the racism associated with the filibuster in the past. but what about today? you look at the major issues, police reform, voting rights and there is the filibuster blocking progress again and again. isn't it? >> it really is. that buster is a horrible guy. we've got to get rid of him, figure out a way to address this issue in plain good, old-fashioned sense. and the point is that the filibuster, loved by mr. manchin and another senator on the democratic side faces a nearly impossible road to be got rid of unless they agree. so, what is it about the investment in the filibuster that keeps us from realizing it has been deployed by racists and by people who harbor anti-black sentiment to prevent the flourishing of black life, to block policies and legislation that would enable us to move forward? until we're able to do that, it will be a difficult road to hoe. >> last question, michael -- we're almost out of time. i want to ask about a quote of yours. america faces a race

schumer: first, mr.nt, it was good when i walked in -- it felt really good when i walked in a few hours ago as we were voting and i saw mr. carper, senator carper, the chairman of the e.p.w. committee, sitting here. senator capito, the ranking member was sitting there. they were working together to make sure that bill passed and working together to defeat some amendments that might have hurt the whole bill's chance of passing. that's house it used to be around here all the time. and it was really good to see it. and i thank both the chair and the ranking member for doing that, but as well as the whole senate as well, including leader mcconnell. we're trying to work in a bipartisan way whenever we can, and this bill is a classic example. first, it's importance, of course, is paramount, and i'll get to the that in a minute. but, second, the fact that we can come together on an important bill that is a part of the build back better plan is something that i think members on both sides of the aisle can be ver

we only have chuck schumer's word that he got permission to use it. do we have the ruling itself yet from the parliamentarian? >> we don't yet and of course, what the parliamentarian rules depends on what the text of legislation says, as well and they don't have that yet, either. there is still perhaps a few weeks away. so there is still a lot that is unknown here and a lot that could happen and senator schumer has said that he's not definitively going down that path. we have to, of course, take him at his word even though the signs are pointing to the fact they are in fact going to do it, but what it does is it gives democrats more options. so they knew they had two more of these reconciliation 50 vote abilities to pass legislation before the midterms so that gives them a third. since the biden administration wants to slip up this bill into two parts. we seen the first part and waiting on the second. they could use both of the components available to them this year and that is what is a big plus, chuck. >> leeann, this is going to raise expectations

for joe biden and chuck schumer senate is everything. but there's filibuster, need ten republican votes if you don't change that. don't have that for for the people act, background checks, important issues for the democrats and country. i think august is too late, they're changing voting rules in florida, done it in georgia, doing it in texas. federal government has to step in and protect voting rights. but glad he set the deadline of august to either get it done or fix the filibuster. and was right to call them racist changes. what is happening in our country in texas and florida are clearly racist moves, targeting areas with black and brown people, going after methods of voting and areas which feature black and brown people. jim crow on steroids to quote the president. >> curious to see if we are going to hear the president talking about it in any of the terms you are talking about it, mehdi. opposition party will give response when the president addresses congress. we'll get from tim scott. but joined by progressive rebuttal by workin

schumer: mr. president. the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. schumer: are we in a quorum? the presiding officer: no. mr. schumer: thank you, mr. president. mr. schumer: mr. president, last night, the country lost a giant of democratic politics. a kind and revered public servant, a vice president who reimagined the position and expanded americans' views of who could hold america's highest offices. walter mondale, known to friends and foes alike as fritz, died at the age of 93. as president carter's right-hand man, fritz revolutionized the role of the vice vice-presidenc. there is an old yarn about two brothers. one went off to sea, and the other became vice president. neither was heard from again. that's not view of walter mondale. walter mondale was an uncooperative subject for those vice-presidential comedians. not only was he often the last person in the room with the president when the tough decisions were made, but he became an unofficial ambassador for the administration. his relat

senator schumer: to the family, my colleagues, and members of the capitol police force. billy would say but you already did? to know billy evans was to know, to borrow there shakes sphere, a fellow of infinite jest. his childhood friends will tell you that billy capitalized literally on every opportunity for a joke. his college crew, as he called them, would add that he could be a prankster. his bowling crew and his band crew would say just the same. he was one of many crews. one you would be stationed with on a lazy summer day. the first pick of an afternoon of legos and light saber due else. of course not all of his jokes were winners. had he his share of bad dad jokes. some were just random. if a fellow officer asked billy what he was up to he would be libel to reply just thinking about my ideal weight if i was eight feet tall. a fellow of infinite jest who brought joy and laughter out of life's smallest moments. returning to that lost tourist for the moment. of course officer evans would not leave the poor guy hanging. now let me ask you a question, would he say. how

us senate majority leader chuck schumer is determined to go full speed ahead in marijuana legalization with or without president joe biden support after many states have already legalized cannabis the move seems like a natural step but as artie's alex smile of it explains america's newfound acceptance of cannabis could stand in the way of its love of guns something fans of the 2nd amendment will most likely not be too happy about. for decades u.s. opponents of marijuana said this would happen. but after washington and colorado led the way by legalizing weed for recreational use in 2012 the fear of reefer madness quickly subsided in the following years more than a dozen states in america would legalize cannabis for adult recreational use while medical marijuana is now legal in 36 however so far the feds have remained steadfast in keeping cannabis on the naughty list so as a reminder you know cannabis is still on the controls of this exact schedule one drug. there were and still are. you know obviously you know. running. and right now. there is and you know not. many believe that this is

schumer's home state of new york legalized it but the law really allows for a lot of opportunities so licenses that are are held 50 percent of them for social equity applicants only so right there we see a huge component of this industry just fight a lot is going to be going to those that have been impacted through what i think we can agree is been a failed prohibition on cannabis this all may seem like great news for people who support the cause but there might be some casualties along the way for example legal gun owners. the gun control act of 1968 strictly prohibits the ownership of guns for anyone who is in possession of marijuana so as it stands right now gun owners need to choose between their beloved broomsticks and those doobies that they've been waiting to legally smoke lawyer florina chiller told a.b.c. news anyone who uses marijuana is going to qualify as an unlawful user of an abuse substance even though it is technically lawful in reality it is next to impossible to know which gun owners are also marijuana users but in the case of those wanting to purchase a gun backgrou

i saw the tweet the chuck schumer posted and he went so far to scold republicans and say how dare they do this. i think the reason this is happening and why democrats feel so emboldened to paint this law in a way that it truly is not has a lot to do with 2020 because democrats now have the moral high ground when it comes to elections so they can easily say george's republican legislature just changed election law because president biden won the state so obviously they're trying to suppress the vote and they might get fact checked by some of the organizations and some of the organizations might call them out but others will not. that is a win for them, they're just tried to continue the narrative even though it is wrong. katie: that's a follow-up question two that will there be accountability for the straight up lies that the president of the united states d.c. abram has still not conceded she locked le election to governor kemp, will there be any accountability to that, as we laid out today and yesterday a number of states that mlb is trying to move to or lawmakers like senator chuck s

hallie just mentioned, president biden, house speaker nancy pelosi and senate majority leader chuck schumer will all honor his bravery and service. officer evans lost his life on april 2nd after a car-ramming attack at the u.s. capitol. he was an 18-year veteran of the capitol police force. and he leaves behind two young children. frankly, it has been an unimaginably tough year for the capitol police force. so far this year, capitol police have lost three colleagues, dozens more were assaulted, of course, during that january insurrection. today, though, is about honoring the life of william evans. our team is standing by with me, as we watch this congressional tribute ceremony get underway for officer evans. nbc's garrett haake is on capitol hill. nbc's mike memoli is covering the white house. i also want to bring in former seattle police chief, carmen best. she's now an msnbc law enforcement analyst. and garrett, we'll start with you, this is another heart-wrenching day on capitol hill, compounded by the fact that this is now the second such ceremony this year following the death of office

now that's what chuck schumer says.rliamentarian -- man, that's a tough word so early in the morning -- but the senate parliamentarian says, we'll have to see what she says about the process. i will warn a few things. number one, i don't think, kasie, and i'm curious if you do, i don't think this could be used -- this doesn't broaden the scope for what reconciliation can be used for. reconciliation can only be used for tax and spending legislation. so in my estimation this would not mean that they can use it for voting or for guns or for anything like that unless they really take procedural gymnastics here and find a way to fit that into the reconciliation package. and injust think that would be really tough. i do think it empowers, again, joe manchin. i do think there is some down side here, kasie. i think that too many legislative options is not necessarily a good thing. i think generally speaking if you give members of congress more options they tend to find more ways to complicate what should be not a simple process

what is your suggestion schumer -- suggestion? >>? recognize the loss of balance does not mean that you will for you is reached year. if you're going to accept more risk, you have to know what your rumors tolerance is. it is not acceptable on its word and the whole conversation around alternative forms and diversification comes other ways which i can mitigate some of the risks i am taking on areas in my portfolio i am looking for upside participation, but trump gave the downside. looking across those seeps, that is how i really solve the problem. >> perhaps being defensive, would that be an example of what you are suggesting? >> is exactly right. there are ways to formulate defensive equity exposure. lastly, -- how you formulate those matters, because sometimes there can be -- that can undermine the performance of those definitions. -- of definition. d -- human will get a strategy for defensive equity. witnesses sound like, was sources moment. we think it offers a decent balance. we are framing it as a carrying well. credit you have b

so senator schumer told me, they were going to be able to use budget reconciliation twice. they would be able to use it to pass biden's covid relief bill with just 50 democratic votes if they needed to. then he said they could do it again. a second time, for a second big bill. because of that quirk where the 2020 budget resolution was left undone. and for all of the headlines, for all of the consequences, for all of the resulting politics and the resulting policy and the movement of money that changed, for all of the billboards on times square and on the side of interstates, with the ridiculous filibuster rule, and the ridiculous exception to it relating to budget resolutions, once every budget resolution, you can have this thing that isn't subject to a 60-vote threshold. this system, which civics dorks can preach to you about it with passion in their eyes, but most people don't understand or care about it enough, democrats in this system believed until tonight that they had precisely two bites at the apple. they had two things that they could pass without any republican su

schumer: i ask unanimous consent that the quorum call be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. schumer: now, madam president, the senate returns to session in the shadow of tragedy. a week ago last friday a senseless attack on the capitol by a lone actor injured one capitol police officer and claimed the life of another, officer billy evans. all of us across the nation wish for the speedy recovery of officer shaver and mourn the loss of another fallen hero. to pay tribute, officer evans will lie in the capitol rotunda, a service in his memory will take place tomorrow morning. for everyone who works in the senate, his work is particularly painful. he was a familiar face who greeted lawmakers rorktsers, staffers and employ -- reporters, staffers and employees at the north entrance. whether you knew him or not, his wide smile was often the first thing you would see in the morning. this is an immensely difficult time for the capitol police force. senate committees are conducting bipartisan and comprehensive reviews to ensure the capitol

tom: what is the temperature of the buckets tended iteris schumer has?he have cold water or hot water in the bucket -- bucket senator schumer has? does he have a cold water or hot water in the bucket. >> this is early days let's say. tom: early hours. ben: yeah. i think the biden administration will be going on a roadshow for the next several weeks and months. they will try to sell this, and we will get, eventually, what we started with yesterday. jon: lisa, you are an expert at this, what it senator schumer going to do about this? lisa: i think it has to do with the salt deduction, what could bring the new york state tax rate up to 52% of the uppermost bracket behind only california. this is a key issue. there's a question, before we get there, is how realistic is this plan? there can't be any defections. tom was talking about senator schumer and i'm thinking about joe manchin. how much are we looking at a plan that could get past with democratic support -- passed with democratic support? ben: the biden administration really needs no one to leave. it's

we have to make sure speaker pelosi and leader schumer get the message that we ought to be bipartisanather than using the reconciliation process. this plan as we see it today will get even worse than it is. judy: as you know, the administration is arguing if we don't begin to take steps to address climate change, the united states cannot be at a point in the future where it needs to reduce carbon emissions . there will be a point of no return, and if steps are not taken now, beginning steps, the u.s. cannot be where it needs to be. it sounds like they want to work with republicans in order to get there. my question to you is, do you agree these early steps need to be taken? rep. davis: i disagree with the premise that democrats want to work with republicans. i think speaker pelosi and a schumer are pressuring the administration to not work with republicans. i don't think that is joe biden's intent, but those are the cards they have been dealt by the leaders in the house and senate. we can't automatically believe that the climate hysterics that many americans here in this country want

have you gotten any indication from vito schumer on how soon the senate may take -- from leader schumer on how soon the senate may take up the bill when it passes the house? guest: the senate is working on getting well -- right of the filibuster but we have strong support in the senate. host: nelson from hollywood, florida on the republican line. caller: i want to stipulate that , once again, this is a move on the part of the democratic party to change the meaning of the constitution in order to gain more raw political power. that is all this really is. you cannot take a city and make part of it i state -- a state and allow another part of it to continue to be the district of columbia. that would be a volume relation -- a violation of the constitution. the framers of the constitution made it very clear that washington, d.c. could not become a state unless there is a new constitutional amendment accordingly. the democratic party, of which i used to be a member, is increasingly becoming un-american in the way it is conducting business. i am becoming afraid that the greatest threat to amer

schumer: mr. president? , i have nine requests for committees to meet during today's session of the senate. they have the approval of the majority and minority leaders. the presiding officer: duly noted. mr. schumer: mr. president, i move to proceed to executive session. and i ask for the yeas and nays. the presiding officer: is there a sufficient second? there appears to be. the clerk will call the roll. vote: vote: is sta vote: vote: vote: the presiding officer: on this vote, the yeas are 49, the nays are 45. the motion is agreed to. the majority leader. mr. schumer: mr. president. mr. president, pursuant to senate resolution 27, the judiciary committee being tied on the question of reporting, i move to discharge the senate judiciary committee from further consideration of the nomination of vanita gupta of virginia to be associate attorney general. the presiding officer: under the provisions of s. res. 27, there will be now up to four hours of debate on the motion equally divided between the two leaders or

it would change the way the senate operates, the way majority leader schumer kind of manages the institutions. to my mind it's really unclear whether it would work. here are a couple things to keep in mind. even in a world where the minority party members are obstructing something the majority party wants to do, even if they have to talk at length on the senate floor, they have an incentive to use that senate floor time for attention. we don't often see this kind of extended speechifying in the contemporary senate. we can provide ourselves with what was the purpose, why did a senator choose to do that. several years ago, senator chris murphy of connecticut went to the senate floor and spoke for many hours on gun control issues. and the purpose of that was in part to try to secure promise for a couple of votes but also to draw a lot of attention to the issues that he cared a lot about. if you are thinking of members of the minority party, if you make them talk they actually have an incentive to use that talking to fund raise and to otherwise draw attention to whatever issue they are trying to

is pushing this because schumer is worried about the. primaried in new york by a o c or one of our people so the i've said this for a long time scotty the civil war in the parties is in the democrat party a l c versus biden it's not in the republican party which is trumps party but in this case all you have to do is keep saying over and over f.d.r. packed the courts and he lost a miserably and joe biden and his team will let it happen so that's why we're where this is a story meant to placate the progressives sees people that schumer pushed it's not a real issue it's not going to happen and it's not going anywhere well and that i can believe it to be a checkbox issue but you know there is a real issue that is happening at the thout the border sarah to you on this vice president comma harris is going to go visit the countries we're making deals with but she's not going to the border self tell me why. well you know i think the border crisis is such a pressing issue right now but the and the administration they know it but they're trying no

the tenure of chuck schumer leadership has to end in 2022.the critical race theory, a.k.a. racist theory of punishing people based on people who happen to be white blamed for all the ills by the extreme left. this has to stop that is my biggest concern as an educator and lawyer is a civil rights lawyer and as an american. we cannot have the critical race theory indoctrinate and create propaganda into our young people i am worried about that. mark: it is an honor to know you thank you for everything you have done for decades and for your courage in coming forward now. we need patriots not leftist but former liberals to come forward to fight the evil taking place in our country. i want to salute on - - salute you and god bless you. >> thank you for having me think america we will survive this. mark: amen. we will be right back and i didn't even know that was an option. the personal loan let us renovate our single family house into a multi-unit home. ♪ and i get to live in this beautiful house, with this beautiful kitchen, and it's all thanks to

but i don't think leader schumer and speaker pelosi want to use any process other than the reconciliationrocess, and that is why we have a bill that is spending more in the initial proposal to add a division within the department of commerce than they are investing in every single port, waterway, lock and dam system and airport in the nation in their proposal. >> woodruff: well, i didn't ask secretary ganholm about that, but you may have heard her say that the republicans she speaks with, and perhaps she was even talking about you, she said they all tell us they're interested in fixing the electric grid, addressing the problems that we know the country has when it comes to infrastructure. and in making sure that the country is prepare for the future when it comes to energy challenges. so, i guess i'm hearing two different things here. >> well, one of the reasons why china is eating our lunch in manufacturing is because they're trying to get to a point where they have cheap energy costs, like we do here in the united states. i certainly would like to invite secretary granholm to come to my

last bit of advice to chuck schumer.ehner should say to those tea partiers keep playing with me. going to that lady, nancy pelosi she's going to get me the 40 votes you won't give me. you will be irrelevant. are there a couple of republicans, murkowski, somebody, schumer could go to and eliminate importance of sinema and manchin? in your view? >> i think the challenge there is manchin and sinema have gotten really tight with collens and murkowski. the more moderate republicans if you call them that and join forces with sinema and manchin and more moderate democrats. supposedly trying to save the senate, which bodes well for that. i do think they're all very, coming together if i was chuck schumer challenge them. you want bipartisan, 60 votes. show me the 60 votes and piece of legislation gets 60 votes, i'm willing to compromise. if you can we'll have gridlock and the american people, democrats and republicans will be very upset nothing got done in washington and who's fault is that going to be? >> theirs. the piece of le
