president joe biden preparing or the hold his first formal news conference tomorrow afternoon in the wake of the mass shootings in boulder and atlanta. he's calling on congress to pass gun legislation to prevent more senseless shooting deaths. the president is said to be considering executive action on guns to prevent more deadly violence. let's discuss now. john harwood is here as well as our senior political commentator david axelrod. good evening. thank you for joining. john, i'll start with you. the white house is dealing with a slate of urgent crisis, guns, voting rights, immigration, coronavirus. president biden's first big news conference is tomorrow. is he ready to get grilled on all of this? >> well, i think he's ready for it but i think he's going to illustrate through this experience why he has waited to hold a news conference. as david knows better than anyone because he's lived it professionally, presidents like to control what the political conversation is about. joe biden has been very purposely focused on his covid relief plan. now he's preparing an infrastructure climate, human capital plan called build back better that he wants to pass. what he's facing is, as is typical for white houses, events that they cannot control. so he's got a border challenge, crisis, problem, that he's not eager to have the focus of attention on because that's a more divisive issue than what he's spending his time on or prefers to spend his time on. now the gun issue as well. crises of two mass shootings and calls for gun control. that's also a difficult issue. more difficult issue than the ones he would rather be paying attention on. he'll do his best to steer the conversation back to what he wants to talk about. but you can only do that so much. >> i know you want to bombed to what john said. it will be the filibusterful he's likely going to be asked about that. if you were advising him, would you say to chuck the filibuster torsion get as much done as possible while you still have the political power? >> look, it really doesn't matter what i say or he says. if he doesn't have 50 votes plus one, kamala harris, to change the rules, he's not going to get rid of the filibuster. right now he 50 votes to get rid of the filibuster and he needs the support of senator manchin on other things. so this is complicated stuff. and that is why these press conferences become complicated. i was smiling because i've lived this nightmare before. you know, eight days ago, when they called the press conference, it was before the two gun massacres brought guns back to the forefront of our debate. it was before the blow-up with russia and china. it was before north korea tested ballistic missiles today in a clear challenge to the biden administration. that's the presidency. you go to work and you have the best laid plans and then things happen and you have to respond to them. and he'll have to respond to a number of these things including the question about the filibuster. >> john, president biden will continue his push for gun legislation tomorrow. we're told that he's also considering executive actions. what could that entail? >> well, you know, he alluded a moment ago to, you have to have the votes to do whatever you want. on gun issues, the background check is very popular. polls, 70, 80%. does not have the votes to clear a senate fbi. even if you didn't have a senate filibuster, he doesn't have 50 votes to fast senate weapons ban which he's also embraced. of necessity, he will be turning to executive action. he was going to do these anyway. there are steps he can take. they won't be dramatic steps. they are steps that gun control advocates say might make some difference. you could regulate ghost guns. the guns put together without serial numbers. subject the people who exchange those firearms to background checks. there's money you can put into community violence prevention because mass shootings are not the only kinds of gun violence that you want to prevent. you want to stop the everyday drip, drip, drip of gun death that's occur in major cities around the country and there are some things you can do administratively to strengthen the background system that exists already. even though you want legislation to make it much more robust than it is right now. >> david, i want to talk about immigration. john mentioned it a moment ago as something that is critical right now. when they announce this press conference, a lot of this wasn't happening chug the migrants showing up at the border, children. so that's a topic, of course, in this news conference. president biden is making vice president harris the point person to deal with the flow of migrants at the southern border. this is the first key issue of their agenda she's getting tasked with. this is a big moment for her. >> it is, don, and one of the reasons they wanted to announce this before the press conference. they might have gotten a question about exactly what her portfolio was. people have begun to raise that question so they announced that today. it is a discreet, an important assignment she's gotten, to deal with the central american nations from which these immigrants and refugees are leaving to try to get their cooperation and change in conditions that are causing these people to flee. it is a difficult assignment. biden himself had an assignment like this in the obama administration and had hard time making progress with it. so she's taking on a very difficult assignment. but it is am important one and it is also the first foreign policy assignment, diplomatic assignment that she's received as vice president. so yes, it is a big moment for her. >> thank you very much. i appreciate your time. the white house says there is an ongoing process on executive actions on guns. does president joe biden need to use his executive power now? let's discuss now. legendary news man dan rather is here. good to see you. always good to have you on the program. here we go again. this is a uniquely american situation. another mass shooting. are we doomed to repeat this over and over and oh? >> well, first of all, thank you for having me on. and congratulations on your new book. in answer to your question, look, sooner or later, and i'm convinced it will come someday. but sooner or later, common sense has to start prevailing. there is no sign it will at the moment. we have to understand that what is happening right now with the gun violence crisis is similar to what's happening in some of the other crises, including the pandemic. and that is that any number of politicians are playing a divisive game. they want to keep the country divided on certain issues. for example, the federal, national republican leadership with its nra allies has continually and continues to stoke animosities and grievances as a way to hold on to and wield power. a lot of democrats fall in line right behind them. now everybody knows it's no secret that a lot of this has to do with sheer money. there's a lot of money to be made. a lot of money is paid to lobbyist and to have politicians vote the way they vote. this is in contrast to the country as a whole. poll after poll shows a rather sizable majority of americans in favor of having, say, a delay in when you can buy a gun. a three-day delay. you buy it, you pick it up two or three days later, together with background checks. this is very popular. but decade after did ecade, it doesn't get put into law. what is needed is a common sense approach. if you can get the politicians out of this, i'm convinced americans of good will on various sides of this issue. you have to have a driver's license to drive a car. you have to be trained driving an automobile. >> you have to have insurance. >> a seatbelt. and you have to have insurance. and you know, we're getting the reputation in this country overseas, even among our friends in places like australia and new zealand, never mind in china and russia. we're getting the reputation for a country of people that can't do anything. we have a terrible gun violence situation. we can't do, we don't do anything about it. we have a terrible pandemic and we have trouble getting our people even to wear masks. this is dangerous for the country far beyond just any one issue. >> i agree. i agree. listen. >> can't do anything. >> yeah. you're right about that. just a couple years ago, i had to get my driver's license reupped. periodically, you have to get your driver's license, go back in, do the test, whatever it takes to get that driver's license renewed. and so we do need to look at some sensible gun legislation. but again, we have to stop looking at it through the extremes that if someone, that it can't even be looked at just by saying you want to look at how it could possibly be improved. that means you're taking, you want to take all the guns away. that is the extreme people go to. and we have to stop doing that. it is not helpful or productive to anyone. dan, i ned to move on because i want to talk about something very important. you draw lots of comparisons between the historic rights, civil rights, and curbing gun deaths. what do you mean by that in. >> i'm old enough to remember the early stirrings of the civil rights movement with dr. martin luther king. i was honored to cover him in the early 1960s. for the longest time, everybody said, listen, things won't change. there won't be any real changes. particularly in the deep south when it comes to a thing like voting rights for african-americans. but slowly, painfully, slowly, with determine as i of a lot of people, martin luther king himself would say the rank and file people who turned out for protests, nonviolent protests, if the cause is just, nobody wants to preach about this. but if the cause is just and enough people are determined to have the cause prevail, progress can be made. it can be done with gun control. you just on something very important. you touched on it. you don't start with extremes. many who own guns have to be assured, nobody is coming after their guns. if they have a squirrel gun, a hunting gun, a practice gun, nobody is coming after their gun. we're talking about a few days' delay so you can have a background check. just start one step at a time. this is what happened with the civil rights movement. while we're still in progress with the civil rights movement in the 21st century, progress was made during the '60s, mid to late '60s into the '70s. it can be done. so people shouldn't lose heart about the gun violence. it is hard not to lose heart when we have these heart breaking situations such as we've had in atlanta and boulder these last few days. >> amen. thank you. always a pleasure. be well. >> thank you. the former first lady michelle obama urging americans to support the sweeping senate voting rights bill to expand voting access

is they go to her support behind it, writing an open letter along with valerie jarrett and a dozen "a" list celebrities. here's what they write. after more americans than ever voted in the last election, some believe that silencing them is the only way to maintain their grip on power. they're hoping the choose their voters, rather than the other way around. if we as americans stand idly by, if we wait for others to act or we refuse to do so with anything other than full throated patriotism, they will succeed. let's talk about this now with valerie jarrett, the former senior adviser to barack obama, and the chair woman of the board for when we all vote. valerie, thank you so much. i really appreciate you joining us. >> i'm delighted to be here, don, and of course i have to start by saying congratulations to you. "new york times" best seller number one spot. >> thank you very much, valerie. you helped out. i appreciate all the help by holding the book interview with me. i really appreciate it. >> thank you. >> i want you to listen, before we get started. let's listen to senate minority leader mitch mcconnell, what he had to say about the book and then we'll talk. >> the turnout in the 2020 election was the highest since 1900. states are not engaging in trying to suppress voters whatsoever. >> so isn't that, isn't that high turnout exactly why they want to roll back voting access now? >> well, of course it is. 43 states are trying to pass hundreds of bills to suppress the vote, to reduce early the number of days people could early vote. to get rid of no excuse absentee voting. to prevent voting on weekends when we know that many times, that's when black people particularly will vote. the souls to the polls initiative where people to go vote right after they go to church. trying to take all of these different measures to target how they are suppressing the vote is undemocratic. and the notion that you have to suppress the vote in order to win an election, or as we said in our letter, picking your voters rather has not the voters picking you. it's going the wrong way. that is what made us decide to work with a grm of voting rights, civil rights organizations, to bring this issue to the senate to put pressure on them to do the right thing. and to do it at the federal level, where we are making it easier to vote early. extending the days that you can vote early. allowing 16 and 17-year-olds to pre register because evidence shows that you vote in your fist election, you're likely to become a lifelong voter. same day registration. there are lot of waist across our country it should be easier to vote. and since these states fre43 of they will, are taking the opposite action. this is why we need to ensure the right to vote in an open and fair election. i was reading about this in rnlg jo. they want to criminalize your ability to take food and drink to people who are at the polls. so my 92-year-old mother has been standing in line for hours, i can't bring her something to drink or eat? what it does is discourages people from standing in the line for a very long time. that's outrageous. >> you know, we had a similar conversation. i write about this with what my grandmother had to deal. with how many bubbles in a bar of so many, how many beans in a jar, or jelly beans in a jar. your 92-year-old mother, i'm sure, either witnessed that or it was happening in her time. it seems like they're trying, it seems like this is the second sort of jim crow, the new jim crow. i want people to know how important it is for them to get in touch, to be in touch with what their local politicians are doing. not just maybe every two years for a primary or every four years for a national presidential debate. >> well, that's exactly why. you need to put pressure on your state and local elected officials right now. the officials passing laws at the state level. but you have to put pressure on your senators to say we need a senate standard west shouldn't be at the whim. individual states that are designing strategically, let's call it what it is, to suppress the black vote, the brown vote and young people. very strategically, very deliberately. >> and poor people, too. >> and the only counter balance is us, the american people. we are a mighty force to be reckoned with. >> it won't effect rich people. black and brown, marginalize poor people. and it restricts them from getting to the polls as much as the next person. i know you want it to pass. it isn't likely going anywhere in the senate as long as they have the ability to fiblibuster it. barack obama brought this up. let's listen to it. >> if all this takes eliminating the filibuster, another jim crow relic, in order to secure the god-given rights of every american, then that's what we should do. >> jim crow relic. he said it. do you think democrats stand a chance of passing this bill? >> i think they do. if they have to get rid of the filibuster to do the right thing, that's what we should do. i watched for eight years how mitch mcconnell and the senate republicans tried to block every single measure we put forward that would have been helpful to the american people. so when you have that kind of an obstinate senate, republicans, you put us in a position where there's no other choice. so i think clear-eyed members of the senate ought to think about what is best for our country, what strengthens our democracy, and then push that forward. if that means we have to get rid of the filibusters to do so, that's a small price to pay to enfranchise millions and millions of americans who will be disenfranchised if these bills around the country pass and become law. >> i want to you listen again to the former president. he said this on a recent podcast. the new podcast that he co-hosts with bruce springsteen. it was release ad few weeks ago before the shootings in boulder and atlanta. he talked about no meaningful gun reform after sandy hook and then charles top. >> to make a statement from the white house. i'll want to go to the funeral but i don't want to speak. i don't have anything left to say. i feel like i've used up all my words. nothing i've been able to say, whether making practical, rational arguments, emotional arguments, i've shown anger in speaking about this. i've shown sorrow, and nothing seems to have any impact. i'm out of words. and of course, they ask that i speak. and i -- concluded, it was part of the job. i don't have the luxury. but i was stuck. i had nothing to say. >> so valerie, we all remember how powerful it was when he led that congregation singing amazing grace at emanuel baptist church. how do you think he's feeling this week? >> he's feeling the same anguish that many americans are feeling. this senseless gun violence that continues to happen over and over again and we can't get republicans in congress to take the most basic steps of keeping guns out of the hands to those who are a danger to others or to themselves. why would you give a lethal weapon who can't pass a background check? and yet, because of the nra, and the fact that the republicans are more accountable to them than they are to us, they have a strangle hold over the senate. the only counter force is the american people. >> valerie jarrett, thank you. i really appreciate you joining us. >> thank you. thank you for putting the spotlight on this issue. >> we'll be right back. ♪ amazing grace ♪ ♪ how sweet the sound ♪ ♪ that saved a wretch like me ♪ tonight...i'll be eating loaded tots for march madness.

>> well, the filibuster has a long history. but in the last few decades, it hasn't been used for bipartisanship. it has been used for partisanship. when john mccain and i worked on mccain-finegold, the filibuster didn't help, it made it take a lot longer. we had a rule whenever we brought in a person from one party on to the bill, we had to bring someone from another party. i like to call them, the animals came two by two. this was always bipartisan and we still needed 60 votes to pass it. the idea that somehow the only way to get bipartisanship is through the filibuster is absurd and it is completely contrary to the history of bipartisanship in the senate. and of course, the filibuster isn't even in the constitution. it is not a guaranteed aspect. senate. so it is fair to ask whether it should be reformed or changed to get to the things people are talking about, such as the vital need for the voter protection laws to be passed. >> just to be clear, what the former senator is saying that mitch mcconnell actually used the filibuster to try to block the mc-feingold bill even though it was bipartisan. in your piece, here's what you that. up to have bipartisanship, some members from both parties need to agree on what the problem is and on how to solve it. if this doesn't happen, there will be no bipartisanship, whether the filibuster is on the table original. so things are more polarized than nearly any time in our history. there are a few moderates on either side of the aisle. just a few. is bipartisanship a pipe dream at this point? >> well, i think the american public has to demand bipartisanship. unfortunately, a lot of the pressure from the public has been to go the other way. to stay in your corner or you'll have a primary run against you. mitch mcconnell has not shown any concern for the traditions. senate when it came to the bipartisan traditions about supreme court judges. he used every tactic he could to steal supreme court seats. so he is picking and choosing which issue he wants to call for in terms of bipartisanship and senate traditions and which ones he doesn't. this can't be tolerated. when it comes down to it, as you were talking about, from stacey abrams to others, the fact is this voting rights issue is pre eminent. it is more important to frequent voting rights of americans than to preserve the filibuster in its current form. as senator warning on that, the new senator from georgia, the idea that you have to protect the rights of the senate at the expense of the people throughout the united states is an absurdity. if this is a democracy, you have to protect voting rights first. if the filibuster can be preserved in other ways, so be it. there may need to be an exception at least with regard to voting rights which are the foundation of the entire democracy. the filibuster is not the foundation of this democracy. >> so i don't think this is contradictory but explain to me, you're saying to have bipartisanship, some members from both parties need to agree on what the problem is. whether the filibuster is on the table or not. you admit that mccain feingold wouldn't be possible today. so is killing the filibuster the only way to get something done? >> you play to modify it to get some things done, some critical things. maybe you make temporary exceptions. man you carve out the voting rights. but nobody ever intended the filibuster would be used or the political partisanship. the founders didn't even believe in political parties. the whole filibuster came -- >> wait, wait, wait, hang on. that's a very good point. can you start over? people at home, are you listening? what you said is very important. >> what aspect -- >> the founders of the country did not even believe in political parties. >> yeah. james madison, many of the founders, particularly james madison, set up the senate the way they did because they feared political partisanship. they called it faction. it was written in the federalist papers and other key writers that they feared this. it wasn't even intended that there be political parties dominating our government when these rules were made. it was a procedural ruling about 1806 that said you can have unlimited debate which is very unusual. usual will i somebody can do something called moving the previous question which means if a majority wants to cut out the debate, they can. this is a very unusual, the economist wrote the other day that there's no other economy in the world that has this rule. i think it has some good point to it. i saw some courageous filibusters over time but it wasn't about supporting your party every time. it was often a sole personal like in the movie, mr. smith goes to washington, jimmy stewart getting up there saying there's corruption. it wasn't about sticking with your party no matter what, even in the face of voter suppression as president obama said, the return of jim crow type laws, and frankly other issues such as gun control and other issues, where something has to give. dan rather said it well earlier on your show. at some point common sense has to preparing. people are saying, what is wrong a country that puts specific procedural rules. putting them ahead of everything else. that makes us look foolish, incapable of governing ourselves. something has to give here. >> i don't know what is on your calendar but we'll be talking about this. this is of utmost importance to the american people. i learned a lot. the viewers learned a lot. can you pencil us in to come back? we learn so much from you. >> thank you. it is my pleasure. we at the american constitution society want to do everything you can to lift up this discussion about this critical aspect. >> thank you. prosecutors alleging the far right gate keepers coordinated with the proud boys before the riot. does it balled more damning case against them? this is an athlete, twenty reps deep, sprinting past every leak in our softest, smoothest fabric. she's confident, protected, her strength respected. depend. the only thing stronger than us, is you. it doesn't happen often. everyday people taking on the corporate special interests. and winning. but now, the for the people act stands on the brink of becoming law. ensuring accurate elections. iron-clad ethics rules to crack down on political self-dealing. a ban on dark money. and finally reducing corporate money in our politics. to restore our faith in government. because it's time. for the people to win. the feds are haging the oath keepers kooshd natd with the proud boys before the january 6th insurrection. kelly meg saying, at night we have orchestrated a man with the proud boys and i've been communicating with, and shen redacted, the leader. we will have the proud boys get in front of them and the comes will get between antifa and the proud boys. we will come in behind antifa and beat the hell out of them. i want to bring in doug jones, former democratic senator. there's a lot more. that was just a short excerpt. so here's what she's talking about. joining forces, planning tactics, discussing gear between the proud boys and the oath keepers. what does this new evidence give prosecutors? >> well, it gives them an be incredible tool of conspiracy. by its very nature it is showing an agreement which is the essence of a conspiracy charge. that allows a prosecutor to get into. so more evidence and to bring in so many more potential defendants. mainly just to strengthen the evidence about plan, motive, intent. conspiracy is a tool that prosecutors love and by that one email or tweet, whatever that was, that is something that by its very nature shows that agreement. so it's a strong, strong tool for prosecutors. >> what about a point person, a leader if prosecutors can identify someone who put together the plan? does that mean an even more serious crime here? >> well, remember all these crimes will carry a maximum penalty and they'll be guided by sentencing guidelines. governed means a guideline for the court to follow. but certainly, any time you have a planner of anything like this, those guidelines go up. you enhance the guidelines for planning when there's more than a certain number of people. when it is a crime of violence, that is an enhancement as well. so each of those enhancements goes up the amount of the sentence that's possible up to the maximum which in the case of conspiracy to commit sedition is like 20 years. sedition itself is ten years. so these folks are looking at a significant amount of time. in federal court, this is without parole. these folks do this time with only a minor part of their sentence lopped off for some minor time for good time. most of this is day for day, especially with a crime of violence. >> yeah. so there's one more piece of evidence from the court filings today. another facebook posting. the oath keepers team leader referencing the former president donald trump. trump said it will be wild, right? that's what it says in this thing. it will be wild. he wants us to playing it wild. that's what he's saying. he called us all to the capitol and wants us to make it wild. sir yes, sir. gentlemen, we are heading to d.c. pack your -- they were taking orders from the former president. does that put the former president in any legal jeopardy? >> it is certainly another piece of the puzzle. like any trial, cases are built like a puzzle. there are pieces of the puzzle. what the prosecutors are doing, we're getting an amazing glimpse at what these cases are being built because they're putting forth this evidence to keep these guys in custody. the defense is trying to get people out on bond. the prosecution is trying to keep them there. what you're seeing is a remarkable speed and efficiency with what the justice department and the fbi are proceeding with. every case is like a puzzle. these pieces of the puzzle are getting put on the table. the prosecutor's role is to connect those pieces. to see if it approves something at the end of the day beyond a reasonable doubt. that's an important piece of the puzzle. it can't be the only piece. that piece alone won't be sufficient. they'll try to continue to put the pieces of the puzzle together for president trump, former president trump, as well as anybody else that either spoke at that raggy or had any planning whatsoever to do with the events that occurred on january 6th. >> very familiar with that skyline behind you. i lived there for a bit. and i don't think people realize how beautiful birmingham, alabama is. it's a beautiful city. thank you for joining us. >> it's a wonderful place. my pleasure. thanks. >> we'll be right back. aliens are real, alright. there's just too much evidence. but ghosts?
