Good morning. I am Kasie Hunt on this thursday, june 24th. Well start with the news. There appears to be a long awaited break threw on bipartisan infrastructure talks. Specifics of the deal, including how it will be paid for, have not been released, but lawmakers seemed optimistic as they left a closed Door Meeting with officials last night. Republicans and democrats have come together along with the White House, and weve agreed on a framework, and were going to be heading to the White House tomorrow. Meanwhile White House officials also met with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi And Chuck schumer yesterday. Democrats are considering two ways to pass their Infrastructure Priorities with or without republican support. We had a very good meeting we got into quite a bit of detail. Were all on the same page. Both tracks, the bipartisan track and the Budget Reconciliation Track are proceeding at pace, and we hope to have voting on both them in the house and the senate in july. The bottom line, the progressive democrats arent going to let this bipartisan situation go forward unless they know theyre going to get the bigger Picture Reconciliation Bill also. Meanwhile republicans working on a Police Reform Deal are optimistic they can come to an agreement before they leave the capitol for the Fourth Of July recess. I think weve made more progress in the last day or two than we have in the last week. Were going to be heading toward that deadline tomorrow. Im hopeful that well get there on the right side of the issue. I dont think there are outstanding issues to work out. We need to agree on the actual language were using. I think everybody wants to get to yes. Theres a general framework that we all sort of conceptually agree to. Can it withstand drafting . Can it withstand pressure . Time will tell. Democrats are working on something a bit more casual. Nothings over until youre looking at Written Language. Were not at Written Language yet so. We can agree to a framework this week, and then while theyre gone, it gets written. I think one thing we generally did say is nothing is until everything senators Cory Booker of new Jersey And Senator Tim Scott of North Carolina had set july as the deadline. Joining us, Msnbc Correspondent leigh ann caldwell. Why dont we start with this Police Reform Bill because i know youve been doing so much reporting on it. Where do you think things stand and can they get the framework out and can they get things done while others are away . I think thats absolute the question, kasie. I think they can agree to this framework, and i think thats the goal to do so. Theyre saying june or bust. Well, todays really the last day of june in Senate Talk because they do Leave Town after today as you mentioned. But the question is what is in this framework, and are both sides really going to be happy . As you implied in your opening, the democrats have always been much more pessimistic about the opportunity for some sort of agreement than the republicans, and im a little skeptical that both sides are going to walk away thinking that this is, in fact, complete. Now, theres a major issue that are the most difficult t final issues, to work out. And that has to do with this criminal liability for police officers. Democrats want to lower the standard for prosecution for crimes for police officers, including obstruction of justice, sexual assault, and last, perhaps the most contentious, is excessive use of force, but republicans are really pushing back on this. Some of the police groups, especially the national Sheriffs Association is absolutely opposing this, so its going to be extremely difficult if they can even agree on this framework. Of course t details and the legislative tax is what is most critical. While i have been most optimistic that a Police Reform Deal can come together, im actually skeptical at this point that theyre able to cross the finish line. Well see how today works out. We really have to read these Tea Leaves at this point, and the fact that democrats arent as optimistic makes me wonder if theyre going to be able to do it, kasie. Very interesting. Speaking of democrats, interesting things coming out of that meeting between Chuck Schumer and nancy pelosi, the two top democratic leaders as they try to figure out how to move their Infrastructure Priorities. We get the sense, i think, that the speaker doesnt plan to put any bipartisan deal on the House Floor until there are assurances that theres going to be a bigger package that her particularly progressive members can support. If she says that really loudly here in these couple of days before the senate leaves, does that potentially jeopardize the bipartisan talks as the republicans listen to that and say why are we going to cut this deal if youre going to run around us later on . How delicate is the situation right now . Im hearing two things from republicans. There are two things from republicans like the Senator Lindsey Graham groups who say talks of this nature, the infrastructure bipartisan package is going to harm bipartisan talks. But then there are others like Senator John Boone who have known all along they can agree to thinks with republicans. So i think the question is who does infrastructure, especially this traditional infrastructure, benefit. And republicans this is good for roads and bridges are good for republicans too. Its good for them facing voters, especially those up for reelection in 2022. So im not convinced that the democrats moving alone is going to derail these bipartisan talks, but as weve talked over and over again, kasie, im watching where Senate Minority Leader Mitch Mcconnell is because he has the power to derail this entire thing. If he think this is a bad deal for his party and for his position of power, then he is going to absolutely do that. He hasnt spoken up yet, but some of my sources are skeptical that hes actually going to get on board in The End. But as far as democrats are concerned, they have to make these guarantees in order to ensure bipartisan votes or votes from the progressives on this bipartisan deal. They have been drawing a line in the sand saying they wont vote for anything, if they do not get this bigger partisan human Infrastructure Package. And so these leaders have a very tight line to walk, kasie. Very narrow split in the senate driving all of our coverage, and, of course, the policy. Nbcs leigh ann caldwell, thanks for being with us early. We appreciate it. I want to go to the Breaking News in South Florida now.

Were taking on the bad actors taking on and doing bad things to our community and our country. As the country deals with this growing Gun Violence. Nbc correspondent Gabe Gutierrez has a look at how children have been impact and in many cases caught in the crossfire. Reporter while so many adults are caught in increasing crime, many children are now in the Line Of Fire too. Weve had a number of evil predators, evil predators in our communities, that are focusing on our children, that are indiscriminately firing weapons, and enough is enough. Reporter in an apparent case of mistaken ietdty, police say A Gunman opened fire on a wrong truck on a Detroit Freeway killing 2yearold Bryson Christian and wounding his 9yearold brother. Its senseful, crazy. They had no intentions on any of us surviving it. Reporter the family had been driving home from basketball practice. He was only here 2 years burkes the mark he left in my heart will be with me till the day i die. Reporter so far this year Gun Violence has killed more than 700 children and teenagers nationwide. More than 1,800 have been injured. In New York, a brazen attack in broad daylight, bullets missing two young children by inches. Their father says theyre traumatized. He urged congress to do what they could. The community is on edge. I want them to go outside, but safety first. So scary. Our thans to Gabe Gutierrez for that report. The nations first black Defense Secretary testified before the armed services committee. Matt gaetz and Republican Congressman mike waltz, the first Green Beret to ever serve in congress pressed members of congress about ranks and Teaching Courses in race at military academies. Here were their responses. We do not teach critical race theory. We dont embrace critical race theory, and i think thats a spurious conversation. And so we are focused on extremist behaviors. On the issue of critical race theory, et cetera, a lot of us have to get much smarter on whatever the theory is, but i do think its important actually for those of us in uniform to be openminded and be widely read. The United States Military Academy is a university, and it is important that we train and understand i want to understand white rage, and im white. I want to understand it. So what is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the constitution of the united states of america . What causes that . I want to find that out. I want to maintain an open mind here and i do want to analyze it. Its important that we understand it because our soldiers, sailors, marines, and the guard, they come from the american people i. Is important that our leaders now and in the future do understand it. Ive read mow say tong, marks, and lenin. I personally find It Offensive that we are accusing the united states military, our general officers, our commissioned, noncommissioned congress of being, woke, because were studying theories out there. That was start at harvard years ago, antibellin laws prior to the Civil War that ended up with africanamericans who were threequarters of a Human Being and we had the Emancipation Proclamation to change it. And then the civil right laws, that took another 100 years to know. I respect you. Both of us were Green Berets berets, but i want to know. Thats an incredibly remarkable moment to hear a Senior Officer like that. I read lenin, but that doesnt make me a communist. Here we go.

She was sentenced to three years probation, 100 hours of community service, and a Restitution Payment of 500. It was called by a senator as tourists. Nonsense indeed. The Supreme Court rules a cheerleader was punished for Vug Gar Snapchat message. In an 81 decision they sid the Schools Punishment was too severe. They did not establish a categorical ban, citing the need of School Systems to be able to deal with issues like bullying and threat. The Majority Opinion emphasized the importance of freedom of speech. Justice Clarence Thomas dissented. Andy cevallos, good to see you. Its been more than 50 years since weve seen something like this. Can you talk a little bit about how they thread the needle here . It wasnt universally, go ahead, said and whatever you want if youre off campus. Its still a significant victory for the students here. It is. Its the a case where the students have won the war, but they lost this particular battle because the court still says schools can regulate Offcampus Speech if it affects or substantially discorrupts activities on campus. The Challenge Today when you look back at decades ago when this issue was first decided, now you have social media. Speech occurs on campus, off campus. Its hard to say where it happens. Schools can still regulate speech, bun in this particular case under these particular Facts T Court says the school went too far. Interesting. Danny, i want to get your take on this story as well, which i think a lot of people are talking about both yesterday and this morning because in a very rare public appearance in Court T Grammy awardwinning Singer Britney spears made a passionate plea to end her conservatorship and regain control of her life. Nbcs Erin Mclaughlin has the stunning details. Reporter after years of speculation, Britney Spears is speaking out in court, appearing remotely, asking the judge to end her conservatorship, saying, i just want my life back, and its been 13 years, and its enough. Speaking quickly, her voice shaking at times, her anger apparent, ive been in denial, ive been traumatized. She recalled a previous tour. When she wanted to take a break, she was put on lithium. She told the judge, i felt drunk. Ive been scared. Her father has been in control of her conservatorship. It currently controls the 39yearold Pop Stars career, finances, and personal life. Britney wants her father out, telling a judge he loved to control to hurt his own daughter 1000 . He loved it. According to court documents in 2016 obtained by the New York times, though not reviewed by the nbc news, britney told the judge he controlled everything from whom she dated to the color of her kitchen cabinets. Earlier this year, the documentary framing Britney Spears reigniting a move to free her. Im having fun right now. Im at a transition in my life. Reporter the court ordered a conservatorship in 2008 after The Star was placed on two involuntary psychiatric holds following a public breakdown. Her Fathers Role has recently been diminished. An attorney for Jamie Spears said in court, hes sorry to see his Daughter Suffering and in so much pain. Mr. Spears loves his daughter and misses her very much. Wow. Danny cevallos is back with us. Danny, this is just astonishing, these details about the ways in which they controlled her life, and it is really remarkable to think and she made this argument, she makes millions of dollars, she pays all the people around her, shes capable of making money, why is something like this allowed arcnd theres the public pressure added in the free Britney Movement thats popped up in the last couple of years. What do you think happeneds next here . This is unlike any other Conservatorship Case because its a system designed to take care of people who cant take care of themselves. Its not often that the subject is somebody who is a multimillionaire and by any accounts may be one of the most successful Pop Stars ever. So this is a very unusual case off the bat. One of the most shocking facts to me that seemed to come out yesterday is britney wasnt aware she could even ask to end the conservatorship. That raises all kinds of issues about what kind of advice she was getting, who was telling her what. But going forward from here, the challenge in many conservatorships is theyre premised on the idea that People Cant make decisions for themselves. So you get into this vortex, how can a person ask to end a conservatorship if we already decided she cant make decisions for herself, and then you get into a vicious circle. So difficult. Danny cevallos, thank you very much for being with us this morning. We always appreciate have having you.

A republicanled investigation in michigan found no evidence to support donald trumps claims of Voter Fraud in the 2020 election. Its the latest to release a report upholding the results. Every republican member of the michigan Oversight Committee adopted the report. Quote, the committee found no evidence of widespread or systemic fraud in Michigans Prosecution of the 2020 election, the report states. In a May 7th statement, former President Trump said michigan senators should be run out of office if they hadnt start third review of the fraudulent election of 2020. They say it would disenfranchise citizens. The report says it proves overhaul of voting is needed. Joining us now, democratic congresswoman Debbie Dingell of michigan. Thanks for joining us this early. I appreciate it. Weve been talking Voting Rights in washington this week, these efforts by State Legislatures to try and change Voting Rules in reaction to what we learn again and again is essentially no widespread fraud that would change results. Well, good morning, kasie. Its good to be with you this morning. This is what im going to say. I read the report. [ indiscernible ] they could not find any widespread pattern of fraud which the former president keeps trying to spread. What im the most worried about is its undermined Peoples Confidence in democracy and the power of the vote. Even though we have that vote, there is reaction in our Senate And State house thats going to make it difficult for people to vote, make it harder for people to participate in the democracy, things like seniors who have been on permanent lists are suddenly going to have to show i. D. To be able to vote. There was a Discussion Yesterday whether its going to have to be on a [ indiscernible ] many dont have that technological capability. They vote by a. V. Because its hard to get in. Theyre eliminating drop boxes. Theyre making it harder for people to vote, not making it easier. So lets Talk Briefly about the Infrastructure Package as well, which is, of course, something theyre trying to get wrapped up before the senate leaves town, but there are some real concerns about democrats, in particular, progressives in the house because some are nervous this will mean they dont get some of the big priorities, particularly carebased priorities in any sort of Reconciliation Package, and the House Speaker said yesterday that they need a guarantee, basically, that she wont put a bipartisan compromise on floor unless there are guarantees the Reconciliation Package will pass. How close is this to all actually happening . How close is it to potentially falling apart, and how worried are you about progressive concerns that this bipartisan deal is going to shortchange their priorities . First of all, im going to say theres been a lot of work going on. I think its good when a lot of people come together on this Infrastructure Package, and i think there is agreement on some pieces. But the fact of the matter is, i hate these labels. You say, what are the progressives going to do . There are a lot of people that come from all spectrums that need and want to see something in this bill. Today Senator Bob Casey and i will be doing the longterm care proposal, which will be introduced, which is going to help, we saw, in the pandemic how broken our Longcare System is. We have to fix it. This is a onceinageneration opportunity. People understand the broken system and we need to address it. Thats got to be in there. I talked to the speaker about this multiple times. We have to make sure that whatever process gets agreed to, thats included. I have very strong feelings about electric vehicles. Thats the wave of the future. My companies, Auto Companies are general motors said its going 100 expand production by 2035. We have to build that infrastructure. Sometimes, kasie, put these labels on. I think a lot of us know the things we need to get done for this country. How were going to get there is going to take a lot of hard work, be very intentional. I think the speaker is going to be very intentional about it. Weve got to get it all done and figure out how to get it done. You were right at the beginning of the show, theres nothing like deadlines coming in for the Fourth Of July break, but we have to start figuring out how its going to get done. Congresswoman, theres a big Traffic Jam sitting at end of the the summer with Debt Ceiling and The End of the fiscal year. Do you think you can finish all of this work in time . Well, first of all, i know people dont like it when i say that. I say to people, maybe you shouldnt make plans for the first week in august. The senates going to stay there. We have to get this done. When people say, can you get it done . We have no choice. Thats what i was elected by the people of my district to do. We all work. Our job is to do tough things. But i do think we are seeing people talk to each other more. There are a lot of challenging things that we have to do. You know, you were speculating what would Mitch Mcconnell do.

New reporting on a highly aggressive Delta Variant, a new insight from a Cdc Panel, and a Heart Issue that has occurred in some vaccine recipient. Reporter a Cdc Panel saying theres likely an association between a rare Heart Condition and vaccinated young adults. More than 1200 cases are being investigated, about 500 people under 30. For both vaccines the cdc reports fewer than 13 Heart Inflammation cases per 1 Million doses. And appear to be mild. Its likely the level is far lower than the level of myocarditis if you get covid19. Reporter medical experts focussing on benefits as the Delta Variant spreads worldwide with u. S. Cases of the Strain Doubling in just the last two weeks. You would expect just the doubling time in several weeks to a month or so its going to be quite dominant. Deltas rise comes as vaccination Rates Plateau with many states lagging when it comes to doses administered per capita.

Reporter meanwhile in texas a mandatory Vaccine Policy resulted in 150 nurses resigning or being fired over the vaccination. I would never force my beliefs on anybody else to say you should do this, should do this. Thanks for that report. And joining us with a look at Axios A. M. , cofounder mike allen. Good morning, always good to see you. What is the one big Thing Today . Its a scoop. Its a new push by border democrats. Several House Members from the border communities are pushing the biden administration to vaccinate migrants as they cross the border. You can see the tension sorry for the sounds of progress in the floor above axios hq. You can see the tension in this push that hans Nichols Report that it would protect the communities and the united states as the Migrants Cross in, but could it create a new incentive and thats what some republicans are pushing back against. A twist, might be to vaccinate young people old enough to give consent as they cross, to twist one state mostly determine vaccines but a reminder that once youre in the united states, vaccines are open to everyone regardless of your immigration status. Its an important reminder. Mike, i mean, how does this relate to what were seeing from the Vice President , Kamala Harris, now announcing that she is going to do her first trip to the border since being sworn in . Yeah. Thats going to be such a big moment, because the immigration crisis, which was one of the big crisis that President Biden talked about on his way in, suddenly that has become a dominant crisis, and the Vice President being there after waiting so long is going to put a face on it, a new spotlight on it. And this question of are we really sending the message she sent when she was in central america, which was dont come, or are there more reasons to come, including get your Covid Vaccine . Quickly, mike. You guys are also reporting on how the former president , donald trump, is handling his Time Out of office, attempting to stay in the spotlight, without his twitter account. I got a list of every Book Author whos gone to maralago and gotten an interview with former President Trump. Hes given 22 interviews to Book Authors, several people double dipped. He spent an hour and a half, two hours some of the people are then invited to stay and have dinner at maralago. And why it matters, kasie, President Trump who said very little besides to conservative outlets knows hes going to be everywhere. This Rush Of Trump books that will start in july and he wants his voice out there. Ive talked to people familiar with the interviews, im going to shock you, im glad youre sitting down. Spoiler, the president doesnt leak revelations. Theres a lot of spin and longwinded conversation, but hes back in his salesman mode. Hes trying to work the refs with these book, in full suit and tie, serves diet coke, gives everybody a dish. A lot of the authors are getting the same dish, they think they have a scoop but it turns out lots of people may have the same scoop. I guess were about to find out. Im glad were not the only bureau that has to deal with pre6 00 a. M. Construction noise, thank you. We had the Construction Fire alarms this week. Thank Goodness Tomorrow is friday.
