for imprint. com has items certain to wow imprint for certain weekdays. >> ana cabrera from 10 a.m. to noon. chris jansen from noon to 2 p.m. and katy tur from 2 p.m. 2 p.m. and katy tur from 2 p.m. to four. msnbc no one's dumb enough to go where we're going. that's kind of our specialty. [ roaring ] [ heavy breathing ] hang on! [ roaring ] let's go. 8 a.m. pacific. thanks for staying with us. i'm erielle reshef in for ana cabrera today. and we begin with breaking news out of washington where republicans are racing to pass president tru mr. mcconnell, no. vote a ramae
8:01 am
senators can propose an unlimited number of amendments to the budget package. the bill would then have to go back to the house for passage. it comes as we learn new details about the legislation's hefty price tag. the cbo said that the bill could add $3.3 trillion to the deficit over the next ten years. joining us now, nbc's ryan nobles live from the capitol. and, ryan, walk us through this vote a rama process, how it works and where it stands at this hour. >> yeah, ariel, this is normally a process that is largely a messaging exercise by republicans and democrats. it's part of the process to be able to pass the bill under the reconciliation rules, which allow for only 51 votes for passage in the senate. normally, it takes 60 votes to pass anything in the senate. it's basically an opportunity for every senator to offer up an unlimited number of amendments to this package before it makes it to a final vote, and almost all of those amendments will likely be voted down. but this
8:02 am
time around, it's a little bit different because republicans haven't completely settled on the form and fashion in which they want this bill to emerge. so we expect to see throughout the course of the day, a number of key amendment votes having to do with everything related to the funding of the state, expansion of medicaid under obamacare. this is something that the house initially thought that they wanted part of their package. they took it out because moderate republicans weren't happy with it. now conservative republicans want to add it back in. that may or may not pass. if it passes, they could lose votes. when it comes to the final vote, senator susan collins is proposing a different tax bracket for high income earners to help pay for some of the cuts that republicans are proposing to some of these social programs. the basically, long story short, ariel, is that this is an ongoing process. this is far from a finished product mr. scott of florida, no.
8:03 am
mr. fetterman, aye. and it wild to be the identical piece of legislation if it's going to make it to president trump's desk by july 4th. ariel already some house republicans saying that they're unhappy with the changes that the senate has made. so there's a lot of work to be done between now and before when this bill becomes law. >> well, and ryan, long story long, when it comes to that vote a rama. we appreciate you, ryan nobles, our thanks. joining us now, democratic senator chris van hollen from maryland. he sits on both the budget and appropriations committees. senator, we appreciate your time on a very busy day. first, you called the budget bill, quote, a fraud on the american people that would make even enron scammers blush. strong words there. so is there anything that your party democrats can do to stop the progression of this bill? >> well, ariel, it's good to be
8:04 am
with you. we are making all the arguments, and we're urging people from around the country to weigh in. i would remind people that for back in 2017, right, donald trump and republicans tried to undo defeat the affordable care act. that bill also cleared the preliminary hurdle that this bill did. but at the end of the day, we had three republican senators join us to give it a thumbs down, and we defeated it. this time, we need four republican senators to give us give it a thumbs down. as you mentioned, we have two. so we're going to keep working because at its core, this bill is rotten. it's abomination. it provides big tax cuts to billionaires and very rich people at the expense of everybody else. and we just need to keep hammering away at that essential truth. it's an abomination. >> at the core of this, of course, has been the debate over health care. and the cbo said sunday that this bill would lead to 11.8 million people losing their health insurance by 2034.
8:05 am
i have to note, though, republican source in the house told me that that's if the senate provisions remain intact. the house's number, he said, was closer to 7.8 million. the source also added that baked into that 7.8 figure is roughly 5 million. just from those work requirements we've heard about. so i think for a lot of americans, they're wondering what is the harm in tightening work requirements and ensuring that the people who actually and truly need medicaid are the ones receiving it? >> well, they are taking medicaid away from people who truly need it. i call this it's not a work requirement. it's a paper work requirement. because what we know is millions of medicare recipients right now who are working, they already have to demonstrate that they're compliant with all the rules. what this is going to require them to do is like every month, do more paperwork. and so what republicans are doing are trying to create more bureaucratic obstacles, more inefficiency in
8:06 am
the system that prevents people who are eligible and who are working from actually securing the benefits. i would also point out that in addition to those 11 million people who are going to lose access to health insurance, another 5 million people are going to lose access to health insurance because republicans, while they extend the tax cuts for billionaires and wealthy people, they are not extending the premium tax credits, the tax credits for people who need them to afford their insurance on the affordable care act through the affordable care act. so extending tax breaks for billionaires and wealthy people, but not extending those that help lots of middle class americans afford health insurance. and if you add up all of that, it's about 17 million americans who will lose their health insurance. >> republicans have argued that medicaid is on a path to insolvency, that this program could essentially be doomed or be on a crash course if it's not
8:07 am
reformed. so how can democrats and even those republican holdouts who say that they oppose these cuts, square that need? and what might be the alternative in your mind. >> actually, that is not true. obviously, we can make reforms and improvements in medicaid, and i've proposed some along the way. but the real problem is republicans refuse to ask billionaires to contribute more to the overall good of the country. if we did that, we could actually not only help medicaid, we could help medicare and we could help social security. so they have an obsession. they just have obsession aerial with giving tax cuts to very rich people and big corporations, and everything else is sacrificed for that cause. they want to cut medicaid, they want to cut food and nutrition programs. frankly, they want to cut very important clean energy incentives that help generate more affordable
8:08 am
energy because of what they're doing. people's energy costs are going up. i mean, elon musk, who i usually don't agree with, made this point very clearly. so they're going to drive up costs to the american people. again, all in service to providing tax breaks to very rich people. >> elon musk, expressing his displeasure with this entire legislation. on sunday, your republican colleague thom tillis said that he would not seek reelection next year after he opposed this bill and obviously drew the ire from president trump. he president trump even threatening to talk to some of his primary challengers if he were to run. so what is your reaction to that? >> well, it shows you the fundamental equation that republican senators are dealing with. on the one hand, many of them know that this is a rotten bill for all the reasons we've talked about. i mean, it's a beautiful bill if you're a billionaire or very wealthy, but for everybody else, it's pretty much a rotten bill. so republican senators are hearing from their constituents that for
8:09 am
good reasons, they don't like this bill, whether it's because rural hospitals will close, nursing homes will close, people will lose access to medicaid. but on the other hand, they're just live in constant fear of a donald trump tweet. and so far, so far, their fear of donald trump's tweets has sort of outweighed their concerns for what their constituents are going to have to suffer. that equation needs to change. it's changed for two senators, but we need two more. >> okay, so with tillis out, a democrat hasn't won a north carolina senate race since 2008. what do you think? can your party take that seat? >> democrats can definitely win in north carolina, especially under the circumstances we're finding ourselves in right now. you know, thom tillis has essentially made the argument for why this is a very bad bill. and so i think there is an opportunity for a strong democratic candidate to win the
8:10 am
senate seat in north carolina. >> all right. senator chris van hollen. a busy day for you during this vote a rama and beyond. we appreciate your time. thanks for spending it with us. >> thank you. >> thank you. joining us now, former democratic congresswoman donna edwards from maryland and former republican congressman carlos curbelo from florida. donna and carlos, both msnbc political analyst. we're grateful for both of you, donna. what are types of amendments that we might see mr. cruz. senators along. you know, provisions, for example, for rural health care, other provisions around some medicaid tweaks. all of these things are designed to bring individual senators along. there are some, for example, on energy tax credits. but, you know, if you have to carve together a big bill and it is big, adds $3.3 trillion to our, our, our
8:11 am
deficit, then it means that there's something fundamentally wrong about this, about this bill. and 11.8 million people who are going to lose their health care all across the country, in every single congressional district, in every mr. fetterman. mrs. fischer. mr. gallego. mrs. g almost could kick about 12 million people off their health care over the next ten years. what's the political gamble that republicans are making here, especially for lawmakers representing those more rural and lower income districts? >> yeah. >> this is interesting because a. >> lot of the people who could lose their health coverage as a result of this bill are probably republican voters. we know that
8:12 am
the president has done a very good job of bringing in lower income americans to the republican coalition, and that's the issue that republicans are facing right now. you hear josh hawley and others talking about having to protect medicaid recipients. so we're going to see that battle play out in the senate today. senator susan collins, we know, has prioritized trying to limit the cuts to medicaid in this bill. but history is there to guide us when either party moves unilaterally on health care. you know, democrats did this. they created the affordable care act unilaterally. they suffered a very big political cost in the following election. republicans, when they tried to repeal and replace the aca unilaterally. also, there was a big blue wave in the next election. so health care is a very potent issue. it's a dangerous issue for people in office, for the party in power. and republicans are
8:13 am
wrestling with those political threats right now as they try to advance this bill. >> yeah. looking ahead to those midterms, donna, it seems like there's not much that really democrats can do to stop this bill. but according to several recent polls, the bill is really unpopular. are democrats doing enough to message against it? >> well, i think the most important thing now is one, some of these amendments that are being offered by democrats, i think, highlight the problems with the bill. but, you know, should this thing actually end up on president trump's desk to sign? and that is a big if. then i think it's going to be up to democrats to really in every single congressional district all across the country to tell the story of these dangerous cuts that are benefiting millionaires and billionaires, but not benefiting ordinary working people. president trump made a commitment on medicare, medicaid and social security, and he's breaking that
8:14 am
commitment in this bill. and it's going to be up to democrats ms. lummis. mr. markey. mr. marshall. senator thom tills making that shock announcement that he won't seek reelection next year after joining the democrats in his opposition to this bill. and, of course, president trump not very happy about that. how much of an impact do you believe that tillis dissent may have on his colleagues and on the outcome for this legislation? and could this exit actually spell trouble for republicans in the midterms? >> well, look, north carolina is going to be a swing state next year. it's going to it was already going to be a tough reelection fight for senator tillis. so i think this will
8:15 am
make it probably even tougher for republicans. senator tillis is a conservative, but he's also a consensus builder in the senate. and that was probably going to help him with swing voters in north carolina. republicans now nominate a candidate that is more of a hardliner than that might make it more difficult for them to hold the seat. and i think if we zoom out even more, a lot of people can lament the departure of senators like thom tillis, like kirsten sinema, like joe manchin. on the other side, members who, despite being either republicans or democrats, always try to build consensus, always try to find common ground. those types of representatives and senators are finding that there's less and less room for them in washington, d.c, every day. and thom tillis has announced retirement is certainly an example of that. >> thom tillis himself lamenting the departure of even his democratic colleagues who were willing to make some
8:16 am
compromises. donna edwards and carlos curbelo, we really appreciate you. thank you. and we'll keep watch as this vote drama plays out in the senate and bring you any major developments on that. and still to come this hour, the other major breaking news story we are following, it's a tragic one. firefighters lured into an ambush and hit with sniper fire. two are dead and a third is now fighting for his life. plus, the supreme court's countdown is on for the courts to step in before the trump administration can start implementing its repeal of birthright citizenship. the move, already set in motion by friday's historic decision and later, an inside look at a new photo essay capturing how ice raids have impacted one major u.s. city. we are back here in 90s. hope you will be too. >> do you suffer. >> from puffy under-eye bags, deep set forehead lines, and wrinkles that give away your age instantly? well, if so, it's not your fault. it's all a symptom of aging. that's why we created
8:17 am
plexaderm, a clinically studied serum that decreases the appearance of under-eye bags and dark circles by 80%, crow's feet and wrinkles around the eyes by 81%, and forehead lines by 85%, and lasts for up to ten hours. >> look at. >> this one under-eye bag. >> it's gone. >> so i've had these bags for many, many years. and then i found plexaderm and this happened. >> i'm going. >> to apply plexaderm under this eye so you can see the difference. i have struggled with under-eye bags. my whole life. i have tried every product. >> and. >> none of them have worked. >> you just watched. >> it happen. i went from this. >> to this. >> try it this july 4th for only $14.95 plus get free shipping, call the number on your screen or visit plexaderm. trial.com. to avoid digital threats, just turn on nordvpn. >> improve your protection against trackers. malicious. >> websites and malware ridden

8:19 am
investigation? >> yeah, it's somewhat of. >> a complicated investigation because it is on fire authorities even making that very rare decision to pull the suspect's body out of the crime scene because that fire was approaching. we know that this started at around 1 p.m. local time when there were reports of this fire. this is in a mountain area. it's a recreational area. there are hiking trails. it's very popular area. and by around 2 p.m. local time, firefighters already reporting the fact that they were being ambushed, that they were being targeted by someone, there was a huge law enforcement response. there was gunfire exchange back and forth with law enforcement. there was a standoff that lasted for hours as authorities told people to stay out of this area. it was very difficult to locate the suspect in this case, and authorities just were trying to figure out where the gunfire was coming from. eventually, what they were able to do was ping
8:20 am
his cell phone. they found that cell phone signal narrowed in, and they were able to find at that point his body. they also found his weapon nearby. and like i mentioned, they had to scoop his body out of that crime scene to essentially help the investigation. authorities believe that he did act alone. so they then told people it was safe to go back into this area. that shooter has not yet been identified, and we have asked authorities about that and about the motive here. we have not gotten those answers yet. and this, of course, as the community rallies around the firefighters and the firefighter firefighting community in this area, of course, we know the two firefighters that were killed. the other one, like you mentioned, fighting for his life, but authorities saying he is in stable condition. but really, the community shocked about what happened to these first responders. ariel. >> a little glimmer of hope there about that third firefighter, camila bernal. we appreciate you. thank you. and donal, 300 law enforcement
8:21 am
officers responded to the scene and the town was under a shelter in place. order talk to us a little bit about the scale of this response. >> well, this is a. >> massive and complex response when it unfolded because. >> a there were reports. >> of multiple shooters. it's a densely. >> populated. >> densely forested area. so they don't know. and they're also responding to a fire. so you had people that were trapped, you had a fire that was blazing, and you had first responders that were actively under under siege being fired upon. so very complex. kudos to the law enforcement and surrounding areas that came together in a mutual aid posture to help bring this to closure. but a very tragic day to the firefighting community across the country. >> donal officials say that the suspect lured those firefighters by setting a wildfire. the fbi is on scene. should this investigation be looking into possibly whether this was an act of terrorism? >> they should. and s more than likely, as as alone. but i havel
8:22 am
you, we're talking about this and this news is breaking on the day that the gentleman, the person part of my term, the person that stabbed fdny, new york city fire department captain allison russo 20 times back in 2022 is being is being sentenced today. and so violence against first responders, specifically unarmed first responders like ems and fire is something that goes unspoken. cdc and national institute for occupational health and safety indicate that two thirds of these individuals are are assaulted a year. i started off my career with fdny. i was assaulted many times and so this has happened before just to not not to this extent. and so various states have different regulations on whether to charge individuals with with felonies. and so hopefully the, the, the nationwide community will look at this as a call to really
8:23 am
protect our first responders. >> i have to ask you, how concerned should the public be about this threat to our law enforcement officers who are out there protecting us? >> this is a whole new type of threat. the only thing that that's closest to this that we've seen, in which a fire was started to lure first responders in, in some type of ambush, was back in 2012, in upstate new york. it was webster, new york, when an individual set fire to his home and then laid, laid ambush to first responders. in that instance, he also killed two firefighters and himself. and so, you know, these individuals on the front lines, they're running towards what other people are running away from. and so it is it is a concern. it's not something that we teach in the fire and police academies that people would create this type of fire or chaos to lure first responders in, to attack them. and so everyone's going to have to go back to their training and take a look at this as a case study, because this potential is
8:24 am
unfolding right in front of our eyes. >> incredibly disturbing. donnell harvin, thank you for sharing some of your own personal experience with us and your insights. thank you. up next, what the supreme court's ruling could actually mean for birthright citizenship and the senate vote a rama continues ahead of the gop's self-imposed july 4th deadline. but will there be more fireworks on the hill before it's done? plus, an msnbc exclusive. pro-palestinian activist mahmoud khalil and his wife give their first joint interview since his release from ice detention. >> what a hotel, right? >> and only $250 a night for my favorite site. what? you didn't check? >> i got mine for 155. you have to check trivago. >> oh, yeah. >> prove it. trivago. you can compare hotel prices from multiple different sizes. >> even your favorite one. >> look, same hotel, 100 bucks less. >> you didn't check trivago? >> i didn't check trivago.

certain at four imprint.com. >> for. >> imprint for certain. >> we're following some breaking news out of cambridge with new developments in the trump administration's ongoing feud with harvard university. the department of health and human services now finds the school in violation of federal civil rights law. the department accused harvard of, quote, acting with deliberate indifference towards harassment of jewish and israeli students by other students and faculty. from october 7th, 2023, through the present. nbc white house correspondent yamiche alcindor is with us now. and, yamiche, what exactly is harvard being accused of here? >> well, harvard is being accused of essentially creating a hostile environment for jewish and israeli students. the health and human services department's office of civil rights is saying that it essentially is violating the civil rights of these students. and it also said that harvard takes adequate changes, that it will lose all of its federal financial resources. that's a big, big threat coming
8:30 am
from the trump administration against harvard. i also want to read part of what the findings they say the findings are. and they say the findings document that a hostile environment existed and continues to exist at harvard university. this hostile environment includes harassing speech, threats and intimidation, targeting jewish and israeli students, including calls for genocide and murder. it goes on to say that the findings of the civil rights office also extensively detail acts of physical intimidation and violence between students. this hostile environment denied and continues to deny students fundamental educational opportunities. now, of course, the trump administration and harvard have been locked in what really is now a war, a full scale war. there's, of course, this new finding against how it treats jewish and israeli students coming from the department of health and human services. but the education department has also been taking aim at harvard, saying that they shouldn't be allowed to have international students, including even international students that are already enrolled. we also saw an effort to pull back other federal funding from harvard. they are now a number of legal cases
8:31 am
between harvard university and the trump administration. and this new finding really just ups the ante here. so it's going to be very interesting to see how harvard responds here. but this is really the trump administration digging in and saying that harvard university is essentially allowing anti-semitic and anti-semitic environment to continue on its campus. something that harvard, by the way, has denied, saying that that's not what it's doing. >> and nbc's yamiche alcindor, thank you so much. a new round of legal fights set to start playing out in courtrooms nationwide after the supreme court cleared the way for president trump to begin implementing his executive order to end birthright citizenship in the united states. in most states now, the court didn't rule on the merits of the order, but said lower court judges could not block it nationwide. but they left the door open to class action lawsuits. so challengers are now racing to amend their cases. but some legal experts are already sounding the alarm about a looming wave of stateless babies or newborns with no citizenship at all anywhere in the world,
8:32 am
coming in less than 30 days from now. so joining us now, janet napolitano, former united states secretary for homeland security, during president obama's first term, she's now a professor of public policy at uc berkeley, my husband's alma mater. by the way, secretary napolitano, an important topic today. the court did not rule on the merits of birthright citizenship or trump's policy, just the lower courts couldn't issue any of those nationwide, nationwide injunctions. where do you expect to see these legal challenges go now? >> well, the supreme court did no one any favors. you know, i think there had been sort of a national outcry about national injunctions. they were a problem during the biden administration and, of course, with the with the plethora of trump's executive orders, there were lots of them in the current administration. but birthright citizenship is a basic it's stated there, right in the 14th amendment. it has really not
8:33 am
been seriously questioned. the legislative history of the 14th amendment. birthright citizenship is clear. so by by using this case to clarify the role of national injunctions and then the corresponding emphasis on using class actions under what's called rule 23, but not addressing the merits the supreme court has, has left the country in chaos. >> i guess they've punted to use a football term. how complicated. >> the chaos. because now what happens in this interim period? you have some states that represent states that have already sued to invalidate the order where they recognize birthright citizenship. you have other states that do not, or some baby citizens, some babies not. what what happens what happens when people move, as they frequently do in the united states, citizenship is a national issue. you're not a
8:34 am
citizen of texas. you're not a citizen of california. you're a citizen of the united states. >> so let's drill down on that. what does happen in different states if they implement different policies on birthright citizenship? would someone who is granted citizenship in one state not be recognized as a citizen in another? >> who knows? and that's the chaos that the supreme court's opinion has caused. and there was really no need to. every district judge that looked at this issue ruled that the president's executive order violated the 14th amendment of the constitution. the language of the 14th amendment is clear. we're going to have a huge, you know, bureaucratic back and forth, and you're from one state to another. are doctors and hospitals that provide birth care. are they supposed to now do the citizenship investigation of the parents before they can register the baby? how do different states handle social benefits? are you a citizen? are
8:35 am
you not a citizen? so it you know, as you as you play out the consequences. it this was a case that calls for a national order. and by the way, i hope that as advocates now. reform under rule 23 class actions. when you read the text of that rule, 23 a, 23 b, it's to me it seems that this is a perfect illustration of why a national class action is necessary. >> this is all pretty head spinning for americans. justice barrett, i got to ask you about this. justice barrett came out swinging against justice jackson's dissent, writing, everyone from the president on down is bound by law. that goes for judges, too. there had been a lot of discussion in recent months that barrett was acting as a check on the trump administration. her point, essentially, was that this should apply to everyone. where do you see that going now?
8:36 am
>> well, i think justices barrett and jackson got it, really got into it in her opinion and jackson's dissent. but there are strong feelings on on both sides. and you can and you can read that into what they wrote. but but here's the thing. you know, there is some feeling amongst some that, you know, by president biden was subject to national injunctions. he didn't like it. he tried to get the supreme court to take up the question. they did not. but now they took it up. under the trump administration, which has issued so many executive orders which have massive impact across the country and narrowed the way that a, a, a, a national remedy can be found. so there's some feeling that, you know, there was something unfair there. nonetheless, the national injunction issue was a real issue. it needed a better solution than what the court gave us. >> and maybe not out of this specific case. secretary janet napolitano, we appreciate you. thank you. and we have another
8:37 am

for happiness. >> we are back now with an msnbc exclusive. palestinian activist mahmoud khalil spoke to the weekend prime time in his first joint interview with his wife since his release from ice detention earlier this month. khalil, a permanent resident, was arrested by immigration agents in march and held in a louisiana facility for more than 100 days, even missing the birth of his son. a federal judge ordered that he has had to be released, and said that he was not a threat to foreign policy or a flight risk, as the trump administration had argued. here's what khalil had to say about his time inside that

8:44 am
controversial new immigration detention center in the florida everglades. two white house officials and a florida official familiar with the president's travel schedule say that trump is likely to be there. the opening comes as ice detentions have sparked growing fears in the immigrant communities across the country, particularly in los angeles, where federal agents have arrested more than 1600 people just this month. the new york times reports that the increased rates in los angeles have, quote, stifled one of the largest and most established latino communities in america, causing what residents and officials describe as a covid style shutdown of public events, street life and commerce. joining us now is isabel castro, a mexican american filmmaker based in los angeles. isabel, thanks for joining us. you wrote an essay in the new york times titled how the ice raids are warping los angeles. what did you find and what has changed in los angeles the most since these raids? >> so i've. >> lived in. >> los angeles. >> for the last five.
8:45 am
>> years, and the. >> the climate of fear right now is one that i've, i haven't. seen throughout my time being here. everything you know, there's a deafening silence in my neighborhood where there's usually construction. >> when you. >> go to boyle heights or to other kind of communities that are heavily latino, the stores, the restaurants are really slow. they're quiet, and life has just really slowed down. it really feels like how it felt at the beginning of the pandemic. and a lot of these communities. >> you spoke to latino business owners and undocumented workers across los angeles. how is life really changed for them since these raids began? >> i mean, they've, you know, life has been completely turned upside down. i think that a lot of most undocumented people are afraid to go to work. they're
8:46 am
afraid to kind of resume their normal life. and a lot of, you know, a lot of people are taking calculated risk because they have to provide for their families, they have to pay rent. but there's this kind of there's this climate of fear. there's this ever kind. of there's this ever pervasive fear, and that is kind of reaching into every corner of their lives. the other thing that i found really interesting is that it's not just limited to undocumented people. people are being racially profiled. people with documentation are being picked up by ice and then having to be held in detention centers while things are figured out. and so latino people just generally are afraid to be out in the streets and, and that to me was really kind of jarring as well. >> isabel, before i let you go, some officials have said that the ice raids and even those
8:47 am
protests that we've seen have been isolated to certain parts of la, certain neighborhoods, and not the not taking over the city as a whole, is the fear that you're seeing mostly in those certain areas, highly concentrated within undocumented migrants, or is it throughout the city? >> i'm feeling it. i'm seeing it throughout the city. the protests are kind of consolidated within certain areas. i attended a protest in downtown la, but the fear is widespread. it's throughout the city. and, you know, when you look at social media, people are patrolling the streets. they're alerting their neighbors of when they see ice out on the streets. and so people are checking their phones, they're checking reddit, they're checking next door, and they're they're trying to alert one another of ice's presence. but this this is throughout the city. this is not just in certain neighborhoods.
