For democracy. The country fell four short. A total of ninerepublican senators, as you see there, nearlyonetenth of all members of the senate didn t bother to show up and go on record against the legislation. Only one of them, senator pat toomey, of pennsylvania, said that he would have voted in favor of the bill. But, again, it would not have mattered. The gop fix was in. Senaterepublican leader, mitch mcconnell, vehemently opposes the commission. And he spent yesterday lobbying fellow republicans to vote against the bill. As a personal favor to him. A personal favor? why would you need that? republican senators, falling in line behind him. And trump, who, also, opposes the investigation. Majority leader chuck schumer called him out. Out of fear, or fealty, to donald trump, the republican minority just prevented the american people from getting the full truth about january 6th. This vote has made it official. Donald trump s big lie has now fully enveloped the republican party. Republi
It s one big happy community. You are oppressed and they are and you are will be friends. That s what kamala harris assumed. You were wrong. You get to guatemala and discover that the people there detest you. They could care less about the glass ceilings you shattered and not impressed with your political science degree. They find you phoney and annoying. In fact, they perfect the orange man you replaced. At least he was funny. They tell you to buzz off and go home and don t come back. Imagine how that much feel if you are kamala harris. Quite the blow. You can t blame the unnamed white house staffer who swooped in to save the day hiring a fake reporter to suck up to kamala harris and make her feel better. We can t prove that happened. But univision denies that the lady told harris i voted for you. She made kamala harris s day. Thank you, harris repied and kamala harris returned to immigration policy. What is that policy? it s time to take all of the money we have left over and give it
Border, as you know, temperatures in the southwest have been soaring into the triple digits. It is dangerous and a hazardous preview of what the unfor giving desert summer can bring. We have a live report from the border in la jolla, texas. We may see an increasing death toll, sadly. Reporter: eric, good morning to you. That s what border agents on the ground are tellings us to expect as we head into the summer months and as the surge continues we re really starting to see the length some of these migrants are willing to go, not just to get to the united states but stay in the united states and how ruthless some of the human smugglers are. Take a look at this, this was in texas, this tuesday. Horrible images of 15 migrants who had been locked inside of a train by human smugglers. They had apparently all been locked inside of grain hoppers. Border patrol and texas state troopers had to rescue them. They say it was 110 degrees inside the train at the time of their rescue. Five of the mig

Been waiting for for months. Do kids need to wear masks at summer camp? plus it s the first normal holiday weekend in more than a year, which means lots of planes, trains, and automobiles. But prepare for some stress as gas prices soar and masks remain a must on planes. Welcome to the lead. I m jake tapper. We start with our politics lead. Even though it was almost guaranteed to fail, it was still stunning to watch almost every senate republican this afternoon block a bill which would have created a bipartisan commission to investigate what went wrong and what caused the capitol riot. Only six republicans sided with democrats on today s vote. Bill cassidy, susan collins, lisa murkowski, ben sasse, rob portman, and mitt romney, despite so many votes calling for an investigation in the aftermath of january 6, of course before donald trump made it clear he opposed any closer look on what may have caused the attack at the capitol. 11 senators, we should point out, could not even have been
