that's where kyrsten sinema comes in.sured others in private, pointing in particular to the voting record of senator kyrsten sinema. he's talking, of course, of when sinema curtsies as she voted against including a $15 minimum wage in biden's covid relief bill. with me, amanda becker, washington correspondent for the 19th. you recently published this profile on sinema and wrote her coalition with republicans without showing signs of recalibration has arizona progressives worried sinema is poised to throw bombs at her own party's priorities. after the curtsy, how did those optics fuel the perception that she's more interested in working with republicans than with her own party? >> yeah, the optics, according to all of the arizona progressives who i spoke to, i spent a week in arizona meeting with various people, and they viewed the optics of that vote as being kind of like a callous treatment of voting against including the minimum wage. now, senator sinema has said she's for raising the minimum wage. she said that for a l

in fact, you tweeted that senators mansion and sinema could prevent something like this from taking effect by getting the john lewis voting rights act to a vote but they love and cherish arcane senate rules more than democracy. any indication they are feeling the pressure? how does your party work around that? >> they need to feel the pressure because our democracy is on the line. we can't have people defending senate rules while democracy is being attacked and capitol buildings like the florida capitol yesterday. >> how does that work? if you don't see these two moderate democrats who are -- who said they are apposed to the filibuster, opposed to doing things without bipartisan support, how do you move around that? . >> if the other party has become so radicalized that democracy is no longer bipartisan, that

>> i don't think of manchin and sinema's lost causes.u know they represent states they have a lot of republicans. in them and message they have a lot of independence, rightly, independence vote for them. they don't want to be out there and what they would call very difficult votes that would hurt them next time around. however, i think, if democrats are able to craft bills and will be amending to deal. that manchin and sinema do you support and bring them to the floor. and essentially, republicans vote against them, and what makes this process, it has to be iterated a few times -- i, i, i think that they stand to look a lot less like lost causes. because both of them are inherently democrat in the democrats to the bone. and, i don't think they are going to -- i don't think they're lost causes. >> to most quotable man in television have been our guest against, then eugene robinson, and michael steele, it's not by accident. thank you both, we will do this. again i greatly appreciated. coming up for us, we will go overseas for our next repo

senator sinema thank you.o house migrants in arizona and texas hotels in order to improve processing capacity. what oversight is dhs conducting to ensure that these facilities meet the standards we expect of them, including sufficient access to legal and to casework assistance? sec. mayorkas: senator, there are two really ways to proceed in this regard. one is through licensed facilities. and the other, to ensure appropriate capacity and efficient and effective processes on licensed facilities. but we are committed to adhering to the very same standards across that landscape. so the fact that a facility is unlicensed does not mean that it should not have the very same standards for the care and custody and shelter of the individuals in its residents. and we are committed to and dedicated to adhering to those very same standards. senator sinema: thank you. as you know, secretary, i am extremely interested in the extremely interested in the administration™s efforts to improve the asylum process, including provi

is there a future for our democracy if senators manchin and sinema you referred to keep refusing allthe jim crow filibuster? >> frankly, i'm not sure if there's a present for our democracy . a country in which a minority is constantly able to exercise veto power over the majority. at a certain point, it can't call itself a democracy. so yes, the only -- we're basically in a biscript of tightening minority rule where you have both the structure of our system with the disproportionate power given, well, states, gerrymandering, the jim crow filibuster, gerrymandering in state houses, state houses that are increasingly -- state republican parties that are increasingly going to interfere in elections, all sort of working together to make it harder and harder for the majority in this country to govern, for its represents to do the things that the people elect them to do. there's only a couple of opportunities to break this log jam before it really strangles our democracy to death. and one of those opportunities is to end the filibuster. and yet we unfortunately have a couple of senators wh

i don't know if he is. >> so this is interesting, renee, because hayes talks about kyrsten sinema.itico. it says asked if the biden administration should keep talking to republicans about a bipartisan infrastructure deal, senator kirsten gillibrand replied, absolutely not because we might lose our coalition for human infrastructure. instead she's 100% in favor of pushing through a multi-trillion dollar package using budget reconciliation. she says, i do not think the white house should relegate recovery to the judgment of mitch mcconnell because he will not function in good faith, says gillibrand. so kyrsten sinema and joe manchin are starting to be out there blowing in the wind with the rest of the democrats who are saying, we don't all think it's the world's best process. they didn't want budget reconciliation for everything, but they're beginning to understand that they're not going to get anything done if they don't use sharper tactics. >> well, i mean the question becomes how much is biden willing to turn himself inside out and neuter his agenda in the process to achieve this

. >> you called out joe mansion and kyrsten sinema saying they could stop this.o you think the democratic party is doing enough to put pressure on them? >> i don't think we're doing enough to put pressure on joe manchin and kyrsten sinema. when you go to the senate, you go there at the very least to preserve the democracy that sent you there. i think it's very important that folks like joe manchin and kyrsten sinema understand what's at stake. they're defending the filibuster while working class people are having their voting rights taken away. that needs understood by them. >> nick, tell me about the article you recently wrote about how republicans in several states are pushing bills to give poll watchers more autonomy. how did this affect voters, especially voters of color? >> there's a horrid history in this country of partisan poll watchers intimidating voters, harassing votes and used to intimidate voters in cities and communities of color from voting. in recent years there's been a host of laws and regulations that have kept that in check. it's a routine po

senators kyrsten sinema and washington and patty murray of washington. nine republicans were absence, concluding pat toomey of pennsylvania who missed the vote due to a family commitment but would have voted "yes" if he was there. okay, if some ways i get it. i mean, you are hours away from the memorial day weekend, you want to be with your family, you have commitments. right now, frankly, just between you and me, i would love to be at home with my family, but here i am at work, so are our producers and director. maybe they do their job the thursday before the holiday weekend? now with the republicans blocking the creation of a january 6th commission, we are left with a classic round of frustration and disappointment from senators like joe manchin of west virginia and lisa murkowski from alaska. here's senator manchin earlier today press his disappointment with his republican friends. >> choosing to put politics and political election above the health of our democracy is unconscionable. and the betrayal to the oath is something they have to live with. i'

at the same time, democrats are hamstrung by the two members of their caucus, kyrsten sinema and joeimportant than effective governance. so what democrats will have to do is either try to operate in good faith as much as they can, to pretend that republicans are operating in good faith to demonstrate to joe manchin that republicans are not going to be a reasonable partner for governing, or else they're going to try to get what they can with republicans into some kind of bipartisan bill and then do the rest in reconciliation. >> following the comments from republican congressman matt gaetz about, quote, an obligation to use the second amendment, his fellow republican adam kinzinger tweeted this is exactly why we need a january 6th commission. rina, what are we supposed to do about leaders of one party actively inciting violence? >> well, rev, i think a lot about memorial day which is upon us. the reality is i have a lot of friends serving abroad and at here at home. and those people are out there putting their lives on the line, willing to give the ultimate sacrifice so that you and i

kyrsten sinema, joe manchin, that's what's at stake here. operating in truth. are you going to tell the truth? be honest with your constituents? and tell them they're not operating in reality? that's what leaders do. our democracy is at stake here. we're in a country that has a lot to grapple with, right now. just today, in the latest explosion of gun violence, a shooter killed eight people when he opened fire in a massacre at a san jose rail yard today. eight families, who will never see their loved ones, again. the gunman, an employee there, is also dead. the president of the united states, joe biden, lowering flags to half staff for the fifth time in his short presidency and saying this. quote, i have the solemn duty of yet again ordering the flag to be lowered at half staff. just weeks after doing so following the mass shootings at spas in and around atlanta, in a grocery store in boulder, colorado, at a home in rock hill, south carolina, and at a fedex facility in indianapolis, indiana. enough. every life that is taken by a bullet pierces the soul of our n

bipartisanship a chance and they really have to do that because their members like joe manchin and kyrsten sinema wanted to be a bipartisan and protector deal so this is a chance for them to startrt to come together on the issue of pay for and for structure bill and i'm thinking it could be anywhere between the republican offer of $600 billion or perhaps more and how to pay for it, come together on a deal and we could see that come together at the end of the month when committees mark up. if things fall apart, however, we could quickly seemed democrats turn to budget reconciliation process of the use for the covid 19 rescue package the $1.9 trillion bill in which they need all of 50 democrats and independents to vote together to ramp up and get this through but they can't try that process until they at least try to do a bipartisan deal and this is the week that could come together. >> host: if that were to come together would republicans agree to spend more and would democrats agree to spend less?s? >> guest: that is one of the big questions. i think what they were trying to do any talk to some o

we have the votes but if we start with the premise we can only start with joe manchin and kristin sinemawill agree to then we are never going to achieve the chance to save our democracy so i think we have to be realistic about the work that has to be done can wait to start with the steps were taking and i'm so glad to have someone like congressman jones. >> let me say first of all thank you very much. this is a very important bill that you and mr. nadler and mr. johnson are introducing. and it makes a lot of sense but as we all know it's an uphill battle but it doesn't mean we shouldn't fight. but it does mean without eliminating the filibuster we can't succeed. we can't succeed in voting for change in guns and many other issues. what has to happen particularly on judicial nominations is to build a greater grassroots network in support of it. so that progressives across the country understand what's at stake and why it's important that we can try now but we have a look at ethics reform as i think chris mentioned and we have to also look at the lower court. we also have the imperative to

do -- you know, joe manchin and kyrsten sinema said they're not blowing up the filibuster. what can be done? it doesn't appear the voting rights act is going anywhere in the senate and it has pushback from people in the democratic party. >> it would require senators manchin and sinema change their mind when they see republicans obstruct the legislation that it's going to move america forward that they will, in fact, change your mind and allow the filibuster to be modified, especially for something as critical as voting rights. >> and something else that was affected by the filibuster was the january 6th commission vote on friday. that was taken down by the filibuster. it didn't get the 60 votes it needed. and they voted down -- it was a bipartisan insurrection commission. let's listen to your democratic colleague from colorado talking about his frustration with trying to satisfy republican demands on that. let's listen to that. >> i am six of playing the game of whack-a-mole with gop members in congress. every time we, you know, address one of their concerns another one pop

manchin and sinema would love nothing more than ten republicans coming forward.ipartisanship. if there is not any bipartisanship on the critical issues they face a difficult choice, whether to give up on the issues they care about or find a way to move towards a version of reform. >> i think this is interesting. you had the counter intuitive take on this. the filibuster hurts bipartisan compromise rather than helps it. if something is going to pass there is more incentive to get in there and affect the final product. we have seen these spending bills that nobody pays that much attention to. they do have some of that, you know, sausage making horse trading flavor. there are deals that are struck. collins now saying she wants to propose the changes to the commission basically on staffing and to wind it down 30 days earlier. these are fine. but it is all a question of are there ten votes or not. >> right. right. we are seeing how the filibuster stifles bipartisanship before our eyes. if this was a majority vote it would come to the floor and pass on a bipartisan bas

both kyrsten sinema and mark kelly say we need more from the biden administration, they have to do mores are necessarily breaking along political lines but along ideological lines. if i could just say, those stories that somehow the administration, they don't have a lot of fingerprints on it but they are organizing videos of families being reunited after being separated in the trump administration but there is very little in these stories that say, do they get to stay? and what about the families that are being separated right now? they know children won't be sent back so what are they doing? they're giving their kids to coyotes and letting them drop them over the border. it is just more and more complicated. the stories, i tip my hat from a p.r. standpoint but it just really, really is not the full story. >> greg: juan was correct, this is a shell game and it is actually really cartoonish in its brazenness. why did they think they could get away with it? let's move all -- and pull one over on the media. if that democrat hadn't pulled it out, i wonder if anyone would have known. further

now look at this, another democrat top democrat senator kyrsten sinema joining henry cuellar the senatorst you're leaving migrants and putting them at overwhelm borderve communities, kyrsten sinema, what do you say. >> i'm glad you're catching on and talking about it is undeniable what is happening at thepe border it's an absolute crisis, this a administration is only getting better at tracking kids into the country moving in from facility to facility the only good thing that they're goodod at. secretary mayorkas is trying to pretend there is a victory because kids are in capacity but what they're doing is attracting more and more the come to the border and putting them themselves into the hands of smugglers and releasing them into the interior where they will stay forever. liz: the cartels are doing the trafficking in thels administration's movie the kids around, the white house press secretary jen psaki complaining it is maddening that people keep asking why the white house is not calling the border when w everyone else sees as a crisis, she was mocking the headline, how is is not a cri

what are is driving joe manchin and kyrsten sinema?n the democratic party? >> i think unfortunately there are still people willing to look beyond what is at stake and look at the politics of this. i mean, i understand the politics of being in a deep, red state. georgia, some people told me georgia was going to remain deep red. we see when you stand on the side of the people and you make sure that you're giving everyone a voice in this process, change can happen. that's what we did in georgia. we can do that in other places, too. we have to make sure everyone has fair and free access. >> so, whatever is going on inside the democratic party, it doesn't compare to what's happening inside the republican party. yesterday senator mitt romney was loudly booed at a utah state convention for his impeachment vote on donald trump. let's listen to a few seconds of that. >> i don't hide the fact that i wasn't a fan of our last president's character issues. and i'm also no fan -- >> this morning, senator susan collins was asked about that booing on

>> well, you know, point is well made, jason, the fact that senator kelly and senator sinema, both frompanic democrats are pushing back on this policy. henry cuellar, congressman in texas, has a hugely hispanic district, and the problem is, hispanics do not like this policy because they understand that little kids are getting raped and sold into slavery. parents in their home country and kids being sent to the border on their own, and so, the hispanic community does not like this at all. they know this is cheap labor, immigrant labor coming into the country to compete with them. bad news for everybody. but joe biden is disregarding the policy at the border because this is his plan at the border, to bring in new voters were democrats. >> jason: yeah, yeah. and kamala harris is a joke if she thinks she is in charge of this because she has done nothing. all right, more of sean hannity's interview with caitlyn jenner, that you've never seen before. you're not going to want to miss it. coming up next. stay with us. ♪ ♪ out here, you're more than just a landowner. you're a gardener. a landsca

what do you make of it, and is it going to push folks like kyrsten sinema and joe manchin to possiblyin favor of the democrats to push forward without republicans, seeing that it seems like they're not willing to compromise? >> well, the president said he was going to reach across the aisle. that's what we're doing in the transportation infrastructure committee. i sit on that committee. we would like to have them on board. we have heard from governors and mayors all across the country, democrats and republicans, who need infrastructure improvements, whether it's bridges, roads, or internet, and the only people who are opposed to it seem to be the republicans in washington. at a certain point, you've got to quit making them offers. this was a good faith offer. the president cut some of the things from his original plan, and they still aren't interested. you heard mcconnell say his goal was to stop any of the agenda of biden. he said the same thing about president obama. that didn't work out so well for him. so, this probably won't either, because the people know this is something that

kyrsten sinema, what do you say. >> i'm glad you're catching on and talking about it, it's undeniableing them around to facility to facility. the only good thing they're good at, secretary may orchids is trying to pretend there is a victory because kids or incapacity or some facilities were less time but what they're really doing is attracting where the come to the border and put them in the hands of smugglers and reach them into the interior of the country where they will stay forever. liz: the cartels are doing the trafficking and the administration is moving the kids around the white house pressing terry jen psaki saying it's maddening that people ask why the white house is not calling the border what everyone else sees it is a crisis, she's mocking the headlines, saying it's a crisis, i can see it now, how is this not a crisis when the u.s. is seen illegal border crossings, a number of them equal to the population of dallas this fiscal year and for added ten women and children sexually assaulted in trying to cross, we have refugee camps popping up across the border, how is this no

think biden wants a deal with republicans but i think these meetings are more geared tort kyrsten sinemaa deal does fall there, it looks like biden tried and they might be more comfortable going down the reconciliation route which requires no republican support but lockstep with democrats. >> and at the end of the day, given that republicans just want to win. do you think that a deal is likely or even -- >> i think the deal republicans are signally that they do want deal, but they're not there yet. because there are so many details they have to work through. namely how are you going to pay for even an $800 billion infrastructure package which is a lot of money. $800 billion is a fraction of what the biden administration wants which is $2.3 trillion. so how they get to paying for that is going to be such a -- this is hard to see how that comes together. but if it does, then the question will be what do they do with the rest of the package, because they could go, as mel was saying, the reconciliation route which allows them to pass a bill without any republican support in the senate. but y

my message to joe manchin and kyrsten sinema is you do not want to lose our democracy because you have gotten caught up in a procedure that most americans don't understand. this is the moment that we have to have a commission. we have to pass voting-rights act, h.r.1, and other bills, that are going to ensure that we have a democracy in america. >> debbie. tia. i appreciate your analysis. i also got to say i have seen cats, i have seen dogs, i ever seen kids. i don't think i have seen anyone do such a masterful fly swat. >>> next, what the new criminal probe could mean for the trump organization, trump himself. >>> and later, the emotional weight of living through a pandemic. that's all ahead. we'll be right back. back. ke ve. thousands of engineers taking peak performance to a new level. that's why in parts of many major cities where people can use massive capacity we added verizon 5g ultra wideband, the fastest 5g in the world. nice. it isn't just a step forward, it's a leap forward. because the more you do with 5g, the more your network matters. it's us pushing us. it's verizon vs.

so you've got, you know, bernie sanders and aoc on the left and you've got manchin and sinema and a few others on the right. and so that's the negotiation that is taking place, you know, in the insane politics in this country right now. and the republicans just don't want to participate. they simply don't want to participate. the outrageous thing to me is that mitch mcconnell whipped this vote. i mean, he made this vote go down the way it did. he did not give republican senators the option of voting their conscience. so he essentially said, you know, i'm the leader and we're going for the crazy and we're not participating in normal democracy here. we're not going to do that. we're just going to say no and we think that's our route to regaining power. >> and i just want to add -- yeah, go ahead. >> i just want to add that we're talking about a 19-vote margin. it was 54 democrats to 35 republicans -- sorry, my lighting just fell. and in any other democracy, in any other reasonable country, a 19-vote margin for the majority means that there is a consensus and the thing passes. there's some

>> no, manchin is holding this very interesting and unique position and so is kyrsten sinema.ng to the negotiating table because again basically threatened to tank whatever bill democrats are hoping to pass in the senate. and even if they use the reconciliation tool, he has power. as we're seeing with the january 6th commission manchin is hoping that republicans will come together, will be negotiating in good faith. and what he's recognizing and even though he's saying he hopes that they find a way, just the odds don't look like that's going to happen. democrats are saying they think they have six votes, that's not the ten they need. and senate republicans, house republicans this is all about power. they're putting the idea of winning in the mid-terms and winning back control of both chambers as their number one priority over investigating the tragic event that unfolded in the nation's capitol. and so that's really what this all about, what it boils down to. and this is going to amplify the pressure to nix the filibuster. >> what's particularly galling here is the process by w

we know republicans like susan collins are talking to the likes of krysten sinema, john manchin. are we going to see any of this working? if they can agree on a january 6th commission, if they can't agree on that, are we all kidding ourselves on infrastructure? >> that's the big question. everything is related, even if the topics are not related. gladys sicknick is on capitol hill after sending all senators an impassioned plea in an ee mel begging them to meet with her and hear her out. she just spoke with the senators after meeting mitt romney. listen to what she said. >> is this angering for you, mrs. sicknick, to hear senators who do not confront this and why you're here today? >> this is why i'm here today. i couldn't stay quiet anymore. >> it's a very painful day for her. there are some senators who are going to meet with her but is it going to change any minds, steph? that seems unclear. there are three republican senators who are willing to vote on a procedural vote to get on the legislation but that's far short of the ten republicans needed, and if two parties can't come

i should say joe manchin, though, is still someone to watch, especially kyrsten sinema as well.move forward. there's this democratic majority in the senate. but when you look really closely, joe manchin and kyrsten sinema are at the center of anything they want to do. that being said, of course mitch mcconnell and his ability to both condemn president trump but also not back this commission. his double speak, his ability to kind of wield power in this way and whip votes and make sure that his -- that the democrats -- i should say the democrats really have a problem here and that republicans follow suit, he is continuing to have a lot of power. it is a good question. i think mitch mcconnell is still someone who is having so much influence over what happens in the senate and what goes through the senate. >> all right. yamiche alcindor and kasie hunt, thank you both very much for your report ogen the show this you for your reporting on the show this morning. >>> one of our next guests is the top lawyer from the administration and the justice department is making a mistake by keepin

sort of bipartisan legislation when it comes to infrastructure, they're going to need manchin and sinemaboard. is this going to put more pressure on them? >> reporter: well, it would, and that's actually what some of my sources think is happening, that the white house put forward a proposal that they know is way too high for republicans, but it's a good -- it's an effort to show manchin and sinema and others they are trying to negotiate and go back to the skeptical democrats and say, look, we tried, and they need to go it alone on this path of reconciliation. so, we'll see. one other point i want to make really quickly, yasmin, is that when the white house publicized their offer, that's usually a bad sign, because good faith negotiations and serious negotiations, there's usually not a lot of leaks happening. the fact that they are negotiating in public means that i'm pessimistic that the two sides are going to come to any sort of agreement, yasmin. >> and leigh ann, just to be clear here, the white house wants to get this done setting a goal of memorial day, right? which is just a week o

i yield back and thank you for the hearing. >> thank you senator sinema. as we wrap up to my have one more question. we have a great deal about the unique aspect of ina and how they share information with the straight on - - the state and tribal governments. you mentioned in your opening testimony you had specific actions you word recommend to strengthen the sharing of relevant timely actionable information can you share with the committee some of those actionable ideas that we should consider? >> absolutely. one of the biggest pieces is the lack of the personnel resources on the ground. weather collections managers. we have to have people in the local area across the country to have the capacity to share information in real time and work closely with the fbi and the joint terrorism task force and that fusion center environment. right now the homeland security information network is writing on technology that in some cases is 18 years old. we need that you have tools and resources that are easily accessible by all readers out there not just in the fusion c

and on the democratic side, senators sinema, warnock. senator moran has just returned. senator moran, you're recognized -- your camera just went off. senator moran, you're recognized for five minutes, if you can stay and do that. >> randal, you know this is a difficult way to do these hearings. senator moran, you're recognized. >> mr. chairman, thank you very much. mr. quarles, you talk about basil 3. you stated that implementation of the so-called basil 3 end game is a priority for rulemaking expected later this year. would you provide me, the committee, with your perspective on how best to maintain tailoring rules recently implemented? >> well, tailoring the regulatory framework will remain a principle that we have in mind as we come out with proposals to implement the final pieces of basil 3, which the most important are the capital charge for operational risk and what we call the fundamental review of the trading book or capital charge for trading risk. for the most part, i don't think those -- you know, i think those rules will in many cases tailor themselves. they

so, kirsten, also tonight senators manchin and sinema are pleading with republicans to vote for the january 6th commission. those are democratic senators opposed to getting rid of the filibuster and they have to know it's not going to look good or help the argument for keeping it when republicans even filibuster creating a bipartisan commission to look into one of the darkest days in our history. there's some big stakes at play. >> yeah. look, it's just -- it's not -- it's not defensible to be opposing something like this. it's clearly for political reasons. it's just -- it's the kind of thing -- and i've said this before, but it needs to be repeated over and over -- that pre-trump would be unimaginable. and we can't -- we have to kind of stay tethered to that time and remember that, like, just how off the rails things really are and how off the rails the republican party really has gone that, yes, democrats and republicans have always, you know, sort of been at odds. but there were times and there were things that brought them together. and what happened on january 6th would have been the

the real difficulty is manchin and senator sinema said they won't they won't set aside the filibuster. so the idea that you're going to get ten republicans to go along with a bill that pushes back on these republican measures and legislatures across the country seems very, very remote to me. and that's really concerning. because this is a fundamental. using a big lie about the last election to try and rig the next one. >> interesting. charlie, real quick if you can, bipartisan meeting at the white house today. do you think that they're going to reach a deal on something? actually sop bipartisanship? >> i think on infrastructure a real chance. shelly capito, i bet they could land closer to a trillion dollars on an infrastructure plan. i remain optimistic that they can do something there. there may be something on police reform. qualified immunity is going to have to go in order to get a deal. i do think there's opportunities here. >> charlie, david, thank you, very much. appreciate it. >>> cnn has obtained video of an attack on officer michael fanone has he was badly injured by the pro
