Republican filibuster, despite republicans In The House breaking with their leadership. If this fails, Nancy Pelosi is warning that democrats may go it alone. She is signaling that a democratled House Committee will be appointed if republicans in the senate dont approve. We may never know important details of what led up to and what happened during the insurrection. Krushly, what exactly was the former president doing as violence unfolded at the Ca Capitol . Lets begin with cnns manu raju on Capitol Hill. Are there changes that the democrats can make to get ten republican votes . Is that a possibility at this point . It seems highly, highly unlikely. This is almost certain to face death in the senate as soon as next week, just simply because of the raw politics of this, and the belief among top republican leaders that doing so, going forward with an investigation would be damaging for their party come 2022 and control of the senate is at Stake Something theyre saying openly. Bring a focus on to not just former President Donald Trump but republicans on Capitol Hill like whether or not republicans would rather take this hit now, defeat this bill and avoid the ramifications come time for the mid terms, assuming voters are not holding them accountable for this. There will be 10 republicans who would break ranks in the 50 50 senate. Theres not those ten republicans yet, even some who voted to convict Donald Trump, such as Susan Collins of maine. It is doubtful those changes would be enough to satisfy a number of republicans to break ranks. Where do democrats go from here, guys . Increasingly talking about trying to go it alone, trying to move forward on a select committee or some sort of committee on the house side, a democraticled investigation. Thats what concerns some democrats, why they want to go it alone, an outside commission. That would be free of politics, per se, but inside the house, republicans would accuse them of mounting a partisan investigation. Thats how things may end up here at the end of the day, gu guys. Joining us to discuss, david chalian. Does this finally expose, and maybe should be surprise, lack of real desire for bipartisanship from republicans, right . This was not, for instance, the covid Relief Plan put together by democrats. This was negotiated by democrats and republicans at the behest of the republican leader who gave a list of things and the republican who voted for this commission said last night, republicans got basically all they asked for. So if you cant get support for this bipartisan agreement, what are you going to get support for . I dont know, jim. I dont know that this is about bipartisanship and trying to prevent bipartisanship at all costs. In manus reporting, this is much more about republicans maybing the calculation that this is terrain they dont want to be in as midterm elections approach. Mitch mcconnell can sort of explain to his conference, imagine what every day is going to be like when the next person comes to testify and all the focus is on former President Trump and his actions, and the leadup to January 6th. Is that what you want to be talking about . I think thats the calculation more than i get that, david, but that timeline, that Election Date didnt just come up yesterday. Its been November 2022 forever. Were negotiations all bs to this point . I think thats what it exposes. It exposes something that should be outside the realm of politics for the Majority Leader sorry for the Minority Leader in the senate and republican leader In The House that it is Politics That is paramount here, not trying to get an actual bipartisan, independent, authoritative accounting of this attack on our democracy. You know, david, something that i think says so much is this moment and what happens happened subsequently. Lets play, guys, the people chanting hang Mike Pence. [ Crowd Chanting ] remember they had to rush the Vice President out of the chamber and down the stairs, showing how close he was to danger. Guess what, his brother, who is a congressman, voted against this In The House. Right . And im not asking you specifically about his vote but what that says big picture. You just referenced the video of Mike Pence being hustled out of the chamber. Do you know who was with him . Greg pence, his brother. Thats right his brother was with him in that grouping being hustled out of the Senate Chamber on that day. Yet youre right, poppy, he still voted not to get to the bottom of this with an independent, bipartisan commission, removed from current members of congress that can offer history, authoritative accounting not just for the sake of history, of course, but to prevent this from happen ing again. I mean, that is what is so shocking to me. I know the republicans have pointed to, this is duplicative, theres committees working on this. There is no committee outside the halls of congress that is totally bipartisan in nature that can give that kind of independent review. And the pill the republicans willing to swallow on this, pretty remarkable. I spoke to people in Pences Camp Days Acid who talked about his deep Upset And Disappointment that the President Wasnt didnt seem to be interested in his safety that day. And thats suddenly forgotten . Yeah, i dont know that its forgotten. Youre right. We all heard that at that time, that there is a real disconnect going on between the Vice President and the president at that time and i think some of that relationship has suffered permanently because of that, theres no doubt. But i think what youre seeing here is that thats not paramount in the consideration. What is so alarming is that the very fundamentals of our democracy cannot be paramount to Politics T raises the question, poppy, that you were getting at earlier, what does that say about our current state of politics in america . How does progress get made . Legal changes are being made so you can have partisan decisions overrule elections now as part of the election law. Its real. David chalian, thank you soich. Sure. Thank you, david. Turning now to the former president , new York Attorney Generals Office has announced its opening Criminal Investigation involving alan weisselberg. Theyre trying to find evidence that they could use to sway weisselberg and create a case against people higher up in the organization. Lets bring in Paul Callan with more. Good morning, paul. Morning. How are you, poppy . Im good. Its so nice to have you. Its been a while. This is classic, right . Get someone pretty high up to get someone higher high up . Absolutely. Ive got to say, Business Organizations live in terror that the Firm Accountant is going to be cooperating with prosecutors, because at least in theory, he would know where all the bodies are buried, all the financial records and everything that could damage the organization. This is a scary moment for Donald Trump and the Trump Organization. If in these circumstances, prosecutors are hinting at that, based on your experience as a lawyer, does that make his cooperation more likely . Well, some of the reports are interesting here, jim. There are reports that his daughterinlaw, jennifer, who has divorced from his son, barry, is cooperating with prosecutors, has turned over records of the couple. And the reports are that they lived in a Trump Organization apartment, possibly rent free. And there are also reports that maybe their tuition, tuition of their children was paid by weisselberg as sort of a perk of his job. Now, depending upon how that was reported to tax authorityies, that could be a serious Tax Violation and it could be felony statutes. When the grandparents come in and pay parents tuition. Dont forget it. That can be a taxable offense. And taxable event. In new york, sending your kids to Elementary School can cost 30,000 a year, 40,000 a year. So, were talking substantial figures here. The fact that the new York Ag and manhattan d. A. Are carrying these out for parallel investigations and have now emerged, one of our legal experts said thats really rare. What does that tell you . Its very rare, poppy. I was a new York Prosecutor myself. Theres a tremendous amount of competition between the State Attorney Generals Office and the local Attorney District attorneys. And the local d. A. Doesnt want State Attorney general getting involved in their investigations. Now here, latisha james, the attorney general, has, in fact, sent two of her Assistant Attorney generals to work with cyrus vance, the new York County District Attorney to assist in that investigation. This is a very Cooperative Endeavor by two powerful prosecutorial agencies, and its extremely unusual in new york. Well be watching where it leads. Paul callan, thank you very much. Thank you, jim. All is of former President Trump are looking to spread arizonas socalled audit to other swing states. Up next, well speak to someone who has witnessed whats happening in arizona and says its actually worse than you think. Plus, dr. Anthony fauci says it is highly likely vaccinated americans will need a covid Booster Shot in maybe a little less than a year. Details on that. House speaker Nancy Pelosi will speak this hour after the house approves the bill to create a bipartisan commission on the capitol riot. Well hear from her live. Our i, but they cant be held back.

Yeah, we bout to get spicy for this virtual date. Spicy like them pajama pants. Hey, the camera is staying up here. This is not the second date. Despite there being no Evidence Whatsoever of widespread Voter Fraud in the 2020 election, fact, it has been dismissed in multiple court cases. Former President Trumps allies are making a push to bring the arizonastyle socalled audit to other swing states, in effect perpetuating the big lie. The day after trump said georgia should follow arizonas lead. Challenging the States Governor in next years primary proposed exactly that. Thats right. We want to show you the website. This is the website of the firm leading this socalled audit. Its the Cyber Ninjas. Its worth taking a moment to explore for yourself. This is who is leading it. Firms Chief Executive is named doug logan, someone who repeated the false claim that the election had been rigged against trump, meaning he pushed the big lie. Jennifer merrell was allowed in the room while the audit was happening there. In a recent Washington Post Oped she said, quote, its worse than you think. Working for State And Election officials implementing new programs or improving processes for stakeholders. Jennifer, thank you so much for coming here. A lot of folks have been watching this from the outside, saying its a Side Show. Forget about it. You witnessed it. Tell us why you believe its worse than we think. Yeah. Well, its actually worse than that. In no way, Shape Or Form does it resemble what i would call an election audit, what we would see happen or being carried out in most of the jurisdictions across the country. Its really bizarre, actually. What you see are ballots being placed on these turn tables and being spun around while folks try to tally or write down what they see. Theyre allowing for variants in the tally, meaning the numbers can be off by a couple of votes and theyre okay with that. And then theres this just really strange sort of idea that fraudulent ballots can be found by looking at things like folds and stains and fibers in the paper. Completely disregarding all the Guard Guardrails that are in place to prevent fraud from happening. Its just a really strange endeavor. Not a lot of nothing that would resemble what we would call an audit. Not just strange, jennifer. You write about Hearing Auditors i hes socalled auditors talking about cheeto stains on Audits And Bamboo in them before we knew about this, you know, bamboo conspiracy theory. Thats what they were so worried about. Yeah. So it was really interesting. I wasnt allowed to talk to any of the individuals that were working. So, these are simply things i overheard as i was observing. It clearly indicates that the firm thats conducting this, that coordinated it in the training really has no understanding of how elections work. They dont have experience. Anybody thats worked in elections would know these sort of Human Idiosyncracies as i call them, are pretty normal. Folks folding ballots where they shouldnt be folded and unfortunately coming into the Polling Station with Food Stains on their fingers. This would be a Side Show except that a process is now in place in some states to allow a legislature to overrule Election S officials and say, you know, were just not going to were not going to certify this election. And you could imagine circumstances under which they would use a false audit like this as justification to do so. Based on your experience, how concerned should folks be at home that ive got to watch this. Because next time around, this could turn an election. Yeah. I think this is really bad. This is bad for Election Security. Its bad for voters. Its bad for democracy. We have state and local election officials not only with years of Knowledge And Experience to conduct the election, to conduct an audit, to conduct a recount, but officials who have taken an oath to uphold not some Madeup Process like Cyber Ninjas is doing, but to uphold the laws of their state and to uphold federal laws in the way that they carry out those procedures. I think its a really dangerous precedent. Finally, briefly, you were asked to do some bizarre things while you were in there. Like what . I was. They were just so paranoid. Obviously, i was there as an observer of the secretary of state. They were constantly harassing me. They had folks assigned to follow me. One time i was asked to empty my pockets, the pen they had given me and my glasses. Repeatedly, both myself and other observers were asked to hand over our pens so they could intense to ensure it was really red ink inside the same pen and somehow nefariously we hadnt switched it out for black or blue. Its really bizarre. Thank you for taking us inside of whats going on. As jim points out it sounds funny or bizarre because its weird but its real implications. Cnn reached out to the Cyber Ninjas, Arizona State President s office to comment on your piece specifically, and they did not respond. But thank you for coming on. Thanks for having me. Prospects looking dim in the senate for the bipartisan January 6th commission. House speaker Nancy Pelosi is signaling she may have a plan b. Well talk about it next.

At least ten senate republicans are needed to pass the bill that just passed In The House. Are there ten now willing to go against their republican leadership in that chamber . Congresswoman, its good to have you. You have 35 republicans defy their leadership In The House but 83 still voted against this. What is your response to those 175 colleagues who said no . Its a great disappointment, to be honest. I was heartened by 35 people crossing the aisle but frankly it should have been a unanimous vote, a clear message sent to our enemies, foreign and domestic, that if you mess with our democracy, were going to come after you. Thats indeed what happened on January 6th. It was a Terrorist Attack of full stock. We need to get to the bottom, get answers of how that happened and how we can make sure we never allow that to happen again. There are, though mcconnell is against it, blunt. Were doing our own count, if you will. You have several republicans who may vote yes on this. Its not dead on arrival yet. Thats good. Are you optimistic it gets to the senate . I dont know that optimism would be the word i would necessaryily use but i would really encourage the american people and the american public to use their voices, give a call to their senators and let them know that this is not a partisan issue. Its not a coincidence it happened around 1 00 on January 6th when we were beginning the process of validating results of the peoples election. And so i would encourage them to make sure it doesnt happen again. Speaker Pelosis Plan B says were going to go on our own and have a select committee. When i think of select committee, and a lot of americans may be in this camp, i think of benghazi, because of one of the more recent select committees and how that went. I wonder if you worry youre not going to have the same amount of americans believing it, like they did with the 9 11 commission. Youre nodding. Is that a concern of yours . 100 . I hope for bipartisanship. I hope for us to work together. I hope were working on behalf of all the people who brought us here. And so it would certainly be my preference that we do this bipartisanally, apartisanally, and the senate does the right thing and moves that forward. I dont know when i think about the commission, it would strongly be my presence we move forward with it as designed. It was frankly negotiated bipartisanally, of members of our body, democrat and republican. So, a lot of compromise was made to get it this far. We really need to make sure we finish it out. Mccarthy got a lot of what he asked katko to get for him. Without a doubt. We had Daniel Riggleman on the show. He said if you cant get this thing through the senate have a Twocommission Solution is what hes calling it, one focused on January 6th and the other spotlighting as digital radicalization, violence and a polarization commission. Is that a palatable idea to you . Its the first ive heard of it. I very much Respect Mr. Riggleman. It doesnt sound like a ridiculous solution. There are things we need to get to the bottom of in addition to January 6th, the radicalization of members of our service is something im also concerned about and working within the armed Services Committee and the ndaa process, the annual Appropriations Process or authorization process, to also understand. We need to make sure that we are providing digital literacy to everybody in our nation and particularly those of us who serve in uniform as well. Let me switch gears here as we end the interview, congresswoman. I want to ask you a question on israel, given your statement last week on israel when you wrote then, quote, i call upon israeli and palestinian leaders to immediately engage in diplomatic efforts to take deescalatory measures. That hasnt happened. Youve seen whats played out in the subsequent days and just in the last 24 hours we heard Benjamin Netanyahu say im ready to continue this operation until its objective is achieved. Do you believe its time for the biden administration, President Biden to publicly call for a Cease Fire . So, i think that the president has been working on that. In fact, i joined some of my colleagues in a letter just signed yesterday regarding the fact that we really need to implore both sides, israel and the palestinians to stop, to have a Cease Fire and to move forward. Innocent lives, particularly children its a tragic, tragic situation thats happening there. Weve seen the displacement of Tens Of Thousands of people, both the israeli and palestinian people. And i am hopeful that our government, in the form of our president , will be part of that solution. I hear you. I think were all hopeful. Im asking do you now agree with some of your more progressive colleagues, who say he needs to say more to bibi netanyahu publicly . Yes, my impression is that he has been doing that behind the scenes. And i would think it would be useful if we saw a little more forcefulness in the same way that i believe my position in documenting and signing my position in letters or tweets is that hopefully the impetus to ask him to do more.

If you were one of the first americans to get a covid19 vaccine, the ceos of both Pfizer And Moderna say you could potentially need a booster as early as september. Its kind of like Flu Shots, right . This is dr. Anthony fauci says it is highly likely they will be needed. Foolish if we dont consider them. I really dont think its accurate to say that we will need boosters, you know, X Number of months from now. We may not need it for quite a while. We are preparing for the eventuality that we might need boosters. Joining us now, cnn medical analyst leana wen. Always good to have you. Im not bothered by this, right . You do it with Flu Shots every year because of the strains vary every year and it helps to boost your immunity. Is that something people should expect, and is that smart . I think its important for the science to continue here. We need to understand about Breakthrough Infections. For people who are fully vaccinated, is there a point at which their immunity begins to wane or are there variants where the vaccines are not protective against these variants . We need to study this. The cdc announced theyre cutting back on the reporting of Breakthrough Infections. We need to do more studies about this. We need to be careful about how we talk about Booster Shots. While there are some people, probably like the three of us, who are happy to get a Booster Shot if needed, there are also a lot of people actually a lot of vaccinehesitant individuals, name the possibility of a booster as a reason they dont want to get vaccinated in the first place. They think this pandemic is never going to be over. Whats the point of even getting a shot now if i have to get another one later . We have to be aware of that mentality and not jump the gun. You are i think its fair to say up in arms after reading your oped about the cdcs Mask Guidance that has come out lately, so much so that you think the biden administration needs to step in and correct them . Yeah. I mean, i think that the cdc was trying to do something good, which was to explain to individuals who are fully vaccinated that we are now very well protected. And thats an important message. But the cdc is not an individual doctor talking to an individual patient. The cdc is a public health entity, and public health is about communities. One of the Unintended Consequences that we now have seen happen as a result of this guidance, a lot of states and businesses and local jurisdictions have removed their Mask Mandates. And i really think this was premature when only less than 38 of the population is fully vaccinated. We are putting unvaccinated people, including children, were putting immunocompromised individuals at a lot of risk. They are now going to be in public places mixing with unvaccinated people who are also going to be taking off their mask. I think Theres Something that could still be done. I think local jurisdictions can say here are businesses that are really essential. We differentiate between Grocery Stores and pharmacyies that are central and keep indoor Mask Mandates versus theaters and bars. People go at their own risk but lets keep those essential businesses with Mask Mandates. Forgive me, because im going to talk about some good news here on this to try to accentuate the positive. One thing i notice lately is that each of these variants that has been devastating, the uk variant, brazil variant, now as we speak, the indian variant, science seems to show that the existing vaccines still provide a large amount of protection against these new variants. Tell us, do you agree with that assessment, having looked at the data, and how significant of a development is that . Yeah. I do think that there is great news. Thank you for making sure we talk about the great news on this day. Yes, its very true that the vacc vaccines we have, the more evidence we have, the more we find that the vaccines are so good at protecting against illness, especially severe illness but also reduces the likelihood of transmission of covid19, which is so important. And they seem to work against all these different variants of concern. And thats why were seeing across the country, were seeing rates of covid19 really dropping. And i think thats kudos to the biden administration for what theyve done to help expedite Vaccine Delivery and administration in this way. For confused parents out there of little kids, how are you handling this Cdc Guidance with your kids right now . Were saying outdoors is the absolute best place to be. When our 3yearold has play dates were doing that outdoors without masks. If he is going to be around other unvaccinated people, whether kids or adults, Indoors Everybody must be wearing masks. For my husband and i, were still using caution. While the risk of transmitting to our children is very low, that risk is still there. So well feel totally fine outdoors and around other fully vaccinated people indoors. But if were going to places that are crowded, especially with unvaccinated, unmasked people, we will be wearing masks. Well wear masks in churches, in Grocery Stores and keep avoiding bars and other Highrisk Sett settings. Dr. Leana wen, thank you so much. Thank you. Despite being fully vaccinated with the johnson Johnson Vaccine, Breakthrough Cases such as this, experts say, are to be expected as the country continues to reopen. Chief medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay gupta, spoke to an ex expert, who says the Yankee Cluster proves that vaccines are working really well. Watch this. Just wanted to share that we have had another positive test. Judge, he scores. Nine members of the Yankees Organization have tested positive for covid19, despite being fully vaccinated with the johnson Johnson Vaccine. But these socalled Breakthrough Cases not necessarily mean game over. Johnson Johnson Vaccine does work at preventing serious infections in those staff and players with the yankees. So the vaccine has done its job. An infectious Disease Physician at the university of virginia, says Breakthrough Cases, which are infections after full vaccination, are to be expected. Those infections that occur, these socalled Breakthrough Infections importantly were, for the most part, very mild infections, mild to moderate infections. Expected but still uncommon, according to Cdc Director Dr. Rochelle walensky. Finally we know there are rare events where people get infected after a vaccine. The resulting infection is likely to have a lower viral load, and likely less risky of transmission to others. As of late april, cdc had reported fewer than 10,000 Breakthrough Cases, and that was out of 95 Million fully vaccinated americans. In fact, the reason the yankees cases were caught was because the utah lab once used to test for doping by mlb players now only tests for covid19. They can even identify which variants are actually causing those infections. You call it the alternative variant analysis. What does that mean exactly . Variant analysis program, and that will specifically look for certain region on the virus that we know there are [ muted ]. Ations out there. I believe, you know, the variant were dealing with has been pretty aggressive. Understanding which variants are circulating in the united states is especially critical now that many americans are taking off their masks. I think this cluster positive test is predictable as, you know, you ease social Distancing And Mask wearing. And this is probably at the core of why some people feel very uncomfortable or uneasy with cdcs relaxed guidance. Variant or not, sifri still believes whats important to remember is that the vaccine is saving lives and as the country opens back up, you can expect to see Breakthrough Cases as part of our postpandemic world. These vaccines have converted what was once a deadly disease for nearly 600,000 people in the united states to something that is a mild infection, at best. Dr. San jay gupta, cnn, reporting. Sanjay, thank you very much. Sources say President Biden has set a deadline for the violence to ease between the israelis and palestinians. Hes growing increasingly impatient with israel Prime Minister. More on that, next. This morning, cnn has learned that President Biden is growing increasingly impatient with israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, comes after the president s Stern Warning to netanyahu on Wednesday Calling for a deescalation in the violence. So biden is facing mounting pressure from within his own party. Senator Bernie Sanders is expected to propose a Resolution Today oppose the sale of 735 Billion worth of weapons to israel. John harwood joins us. Interesting, Gregory Meeks was going to do it, now Bernie Sanders was going to dou it. Its really sending a message to biden, right . Its sending a message to biden, its highly unlikely to stop that arms sale. Its the pressure being placed on the president. Keep in mind, this president has had strong support of israel, still is. And the statements at the beginning of this conflict have been punctuated by versions that israel has the right to defense itself. But over the years, youve had resistance not just from democrats but also from republicans. We all remember george h. W. Bush very strongly pressed israelis in The Middle East to halt settlements. Whats happened over time, the leadership of israel has moved farther to the right under netanyahu, so the republican party moved right so whatever resent there is for israel resides in the democratic party as the democratic party has become more and more diverse, youve seen more and more, especially younger members but not exclusively them, seen the issues of israeli palestinian conflicts sue their eyes. Biden said a week ago that he expected and hoped this would end soon. It continued a full other week, and thats why weve seen the president express greater amount of frustration in his public statements, in his private statements to netanyahu. And the hope is that we are seeing a somewhat diminution of the violence on both sides that suggests that the two sides are moving closer toward a ceasefire. And that would be the result that not just President Biden, but france, other u. S. Allies, United Nations are all looking for. Okay. John harwood at the White House for us. Thank you very much for that reporting. And thanks for all of you for joining us today. Well see you back here tomorrow morning. Im poppy harlow. And im jim sciutto. At this hour with Kate Bolduan starts after a quick break. And returns right from the doorstep. Its a whole New World out there. Lets not keep it waiting. Saturdays happen.

Hello, everyone, im indkate bol bolduan, heres are the top things were watching at this hour. Doomed already. Republicans kill the commission into the capitol insurrection. Biden patience. International pressure is growing for a ceasefire in The Middle East so will netanyahu listen to President Biden . New video of the deadly arrest by a Black Man by louisiana troopers.
