. >> in just a moment, i'm going to get reaction to those comments from congressman steve cohen. >>> first on capitol hill, division and denial, gop senators facing backlash after blocking the creation of an independent commission to investigate the january 6th attack on the capitol. only six republicans joined democrats in support of advancing the measure but not enough to prevent a filibuster. the move pushing even the moderate democrats to speak out. >> choosing to put politics and political election above the health of our democracy is unconscionable. and the betrayal of the oath that we each take is something they will have to live with, and i am sorry that my republican colleagues and friends let political fear prevent them from doing what they know in their hearts to be right. >>> nbc's amanda golden joins us from capitol hill. where do we go from here, amanda? now this this commission to investigate the riot, it's blocked? >> reporter: yeah, well, alex, the political reality here is that this independent, bipartisan commission, as it stood, is now effectively dead. there is n

i'm going to bring in congressman steve cohen, democrat from tennessee. a good friend to us here.hanks 230r joining me. your reaction to these attacks. what are your concerns from a national security perspective? as kathy was outlining, do you agree they expose other vulnerabilities to cyber attacks? >> weave been vulnerable to cyber attacks for decades. we haven't prepared for it as we should. america should be first and having a defense system for these cyber attacks. we saw the russians attack us just last six months or year or so. we see the chinese attack us. we should be ahead of the game. and we have to be, both in attacks on our governmental systems and on our infrastructure that delivers important and necessary energy. >> so, is there any intel that you are privy to as to who carried out this attack, whether it's domestic or a foreign entity? >> well, as you know, i'm pretty fond of you, alex. if i told you, i'd have to kill you. got ya. well, i appreciate that. mutual feeling both ways. let me just talk to you then about this. the pipeline kathy was outlining this, and y

. >> joining us now is democratic congressman steve cohen of tennessee. congressman, good morning. good to see you. >> thank you. nice to be with you this morning. >> so, senator mitch mcconnell has said we don't need a commission on january 6th because the fbi is looking into it, there are several dmits looking into it. is yours one of those committees and will that be enough? >> well, [ inaudible ] a select committee that looks into all the material. the fbi doesn't let the material be released. we have seen, unfortunately, and i have written the attorney general merrick garland, he appealed the ruling about logic in the memo concerning why they didn't diet president trump. i think there is a lot of information that the public has a right to know. there is nothing more important in the last several decades make in 100 years. a civil war maybe about what went on with this involvement with russia, the department of justice, whether our president is a crook, and whether they were involved with russia to steal the election. and that material should be known by the public. this admini

not a lot of optimism by congressman steve cohen and others getting behind this bill in a bipartisannment saying we have to pass this bill and we have to make sure this bridge behind me is inside that bill, ten bridges inside this bill to make sure they're economically sound. if they're huge funnels to economy in their areas, those are the bridges they'll focus on. you have senator haggerty, a republican, saying, i don't want the infrastructure bill. i want a standalone bill that will address highways, roadways and bridges, so far apart despite the fact you had this bridge cracking. >> the one you're standing in front of is a case study of it. yasmin vossoughian, great to see you, as always. >>> newly linked video that has americans and congress talking about the existence of ufos. >> anything that enters an air space that's not supposed to be there is a threat. supposed to there is a threat. , shortness of breath, fatigue or light-headedness, don't wait to contact your doctor. because these symptoms could be signs of a serious condition like atrial fibrillation. which could make you

you have local congressman, steve cohen, say this is part of the infrastructure joe biden is trying tohed through. and the mayor saying we need all of the help we can get. but senator haggerty, republican on the other end, said we don't need a massive structure bill. we want a bill focused solely on bridges in this country. $115 billion part of biden's infrastructure plan focused on bridges in this country. i do quickly want to bring in the mayor of memphis standing by. what kind of help do you want from the federal government here? >> we want help with roads, bridges. fix this bridge as soon as we can and work with tennessee officials and get it open to the 45,000 vehicles that go through there every day. >> so, steph, it is a major economic impact here in this state, the closure of this bridge. and that's why this infrastructure plan is so incredibly important. but, of course, that national conversation happening here on a local level. >> yasmine, thank you. >>> today, of course, is tax day. and while you might be stressing over getting your returns in, lots of people earning big buc

from some congressional democrats, and i want you to take a listen to some of what congressman steve cohenier today on msnbc around the potential for this select committee. >> should be a select committee that looks into all this material. the fbi doesn't let their material be released. this administration -- the fbi, we couldn't count on getting informs to the public. the public deserves to see this and for the senate not to allow the public to see it, they've done -- >> reporter: and yasmin, we knew that congressional leadership wanted this commission to be bipartisan, they wanted to have everyone on board in order to feel fair and that both sides had input but now if house democrats do move forward with a select committee, it will be partisan in nature. they will be able to bring in testimony via subpoena. they can also schedule hearings as they see fit. so, in the coming weeks, we expect there to be developments with this, but keep in mind, the house is out. congress is gone. there won't be imminent next steps around the future of this commission or that select committee any time soon.

we have new reaction just this last hour from congressman steve cohen. >> america should be first in having a defense system for the cyberattacks. we saw the russians attack us just six months or a year. we've seen the chinese attack us. we should be ahead of the game, and we have to be both in attacks on our governmental systems and on our infrastructure that delivers important and necessary energy. >> also new today, the battle over gop leadership intensifies. the vote expected in a matter of days, on wednesday, to determine whether liz cheney will stay in her leadership position as number three. those efforts prompting strong reaction today from one republican congressman who had this to say about his own party. >> right now it's based on the "titanic." we're in this -- in the middle of this slow sink. we've got a band on deck telling everybody it's all fine and donald trump is trying to find women's clothing and get on the first life boat. >> not as a cross dresser but just to get on the first life boat. that's what he was implying there. also new reaction to the april job number

joining us now is tennessee democratic congressman, steve cohen, who sits on the house judiciary committee. congressman cohen, how do you push back on these disgusting comments without giving oxygen to this person who is, at this point, essentially, a taxpayer-funded troll? >> well, it's -- it's sad to see it. that members of congress have gotten to this low level. that they don't understand history. they don't understand the holocaust. you know, it was not just nazi germany. it was poland where some of this more severe -- the serious concentration camps were. she doesn't understand and she's not -- she obviously -- she -- comments she made about lasers starting the california wildfires. she's got a real problem with jewish people. i think she's playing to her base. and a lot of republicans today have no experience in government. they don't have much knowledge of history. and they're just trying to become social-media stars. they raise money, that way. and that's what they are talking about, what they're doing, is celebrity. through social media. raising money with no sense of conscience,

[broken audio] as much specific detail as possible. another way they try to locate the tunnels is through some classified it equipment on the jets that do flyovers and they can look through the dirt to try to penetrate to see if there is any weird heat signatures or odd shapes that might represent an opening or entrance to a tunnel. so those are the two ways they start to look for them. steve: okay. a
