good day, i m chris jansing live at msnbc headquarters in new york city. as we come on the air, former vice president mike pence finds himself at the heart of two special counsel investigations unfolding simultaneously. one into classified documents that the fbi is searching for at his home literally as we speak. he s also facing a brand new subpoena regarding donald trump s pressure campaign to overturn the 2020 election. will he testify, and if so, could that be the key to criminal charges agains the former president? look at this extraordinary video out of southern turkey. a woman buried for 108 hours pulled from the rubble of a collapsed building. but accounts of survivors like her are few and far between with the death toll soaring over 22,000. this morning a representative with the u.n. refugee agency said more than 5 million may have been left homeless in syria alone. i ll talk to him live coming up. plus, a stunning new admission from one of those memphis police o
Puts him right in that cross fire. and tali, before i let you go, i want to ask you about the search that s going on right even as we speak at mike pence s home in indiana. look, obviously as we said in the beginning, prenegotiated the date when this was going to happen. looks like this was a completely cooperative situation, but do we have any idea specifically what the counsel s looking for here? well, as you say, chris, this is an entirely different situation. i think it is a coincidence that they re happening at the same time, and here, remember, this is a consensual search that is happening because pence himself reported that he had found some classified documents and wanted to make sure that there were not others. and so this was an inevitable consequence of him coming forward in the first place. i do think it draws an interesting contrast to the matter of the subpoena because here pence has acted
Doing the same thing. he cannot be bullied. this is a man who knows what state he represents and he s listening to his constituents and he finds the size and scope of this bill is too much. and i think he s correct. and i think he s correct like the other ones you identified, michael, like inflation, the economy, covid, these are the issues that are front and center on the minds of many americans, particularly after $6 trillion has been spent on covid, and now we re talking about even more spending. you know that president biden said he had a commitment with senator manchin a couple of weeks ago. last week here with me, representative jayapal was my guest, we discussed that. here is what she said. most of build back better was prenegotiated, preconferenced with senator manchin and with the president. and i believe the president when he said he had a commit and that he had confidence that he would get the 50 votes needed in the senate. and i ve spoken to the white house again recent
Senator manchin a couple of weeks ago. last week here with me, representative jayapal was my guest, we discussed that. here is what she said. most of build back better was prenegotiated, preconferenced with senator manchin and with the president. and i believe the president when he said he had a commitment and that he had confidence that he would get the 50 votes needed in the senate. and i ve spoken to the white house again recently. i believe that still to be true. charlie, so you ve got the progressives who feel like they got snookered, right? in you ve also got, among the democrats, moderates, i m thinking of josh gottheimer, who voted for the house version of this bill and now is sort of exposed because in the end, they couldn t get it through the senate, so i m sure he has to worry about drawing a republican opponent who says, hey, not even joe manchin would go along with what he was willing to support. talk to me about the dynamics of
