"to the best campaign manager in ed markey's or anyone else's 1984 senate campaign. there is no one else i would have wanted running those final ten days in september." of course if the final ten days of your campaign are in september, that means you lost in the democratic primary. joining us now, the first person in history to lose a campaign run by ron klain, senator ed markey of massachusetts. senator, thank you very much for joining us tonight. >> well, actually, to clarify, i didn't run. and so the reality was that if i had the final days, ron klain would have been the perfect person, but unfortunately, i decided i would rather be the chairman of the energy and environment committee in the house of representatives. so i did not run in 1984, although ron klain was my legislative staff director and brilliant at it, and the campaign manager for the race that i decided not to complete. >> that's the kind of campaign that i could run, the one that you don't actually run in. that would

what ron klain was referring to there is an ongoing review. a policy and legal review. >> democrats laid the ground work for huge debt forgiveness with a provision in the coronavirus relief bill formerly any debt cancellation was seen as income by the irs. student loan debt forgiveness is now tax free. progressives are pushing biden to go big framing it as a matter of racial justice. pointing to black students historically borrowing at higher rates and struggling more with repayment. harris. >> harris: jackie, thank you very much. georgia governor brian kemp is going after former opponent stacy abrams. georgia businesses could lose millions through boycotts. abrams is now trying to walk it all back. when it comes to autism, finding the right words can be tough. finding understanding doesn't have to be. together, we can create a kinder, more inclusive world for the millions of people on the autism spectrum. go to autismspeaks.org we made usaa insurance for members like martin. an air force veteran made of doing what's right, not what's easy. so

. >> ron klain said last week that the u.s. department of education will prepare a memo on the presidents legal authority to cancel student death. what is going on with that? in the past he said he would be prepared to write off $10,000 of debt, but not $50,000 like some liberals have asked for. it's eerie thinking this position -- is he rethinking this position? press sec. psaki: he continues to look forward to and welcome a bill signed by congress to cancel $10,000 in student debt. he would happily sign up. that would naturally be the first step. what ron klain was referring to is the fact that there is an ongoing review, both a policy and legal review. the department of education and the department of justice looking at the options and what authority could be recommended to the president. >> asking what options are available -- does that mean whether he can do it for $50,000? press sec. psaki: his position has not changed. there is a review to take a look at what is possible with executive authority. >> during the town hall

's ron klain, white house chieff staff, tweeted out the front page, "america, let's go win the future," claim wrote. let's go win the future come america. what does that future look like? this plan, whatever its merits, will not make your commute easier. only about 5% of that to trillion will actually go to roads and bridges, so 5% on infrastructure, 95% on social engineering. that is what joe biden calls a once in a lifetime infrastructure bill. he is right about part of it, it is once-in-a-lifetime, if it passes, this generational live in a very different country. before we tell you what is in the bill, one word about who is going to pay for. we only need one word, the word is you. the taxes are going up to radic, and they did not have to come actually. tax revenue or less no longer fund -- the federal reserve funds them. and politicians want something, they just print the money. it is called modern mark modern monetary theory. they have been doing it for years. there is no actual reason to raise taxes anymore for anything. joe biden wants to raise taxes to punish you, and he plans

you know, listening to ron klain there, and i get the political messaging of this. they've got to present, hey, this president is doing what he promised to do, try to work in a bipartisan fashion, but i've got to tell you, from, you know, my day job down at the other end of pennsylvania avenue, the ship has already sailed and capitol hill. i don't see any way raising corporate taxes, raising taxes on individuals, that they get any support from republicans at all, and are going to have to do this alone. what's your take? >> well, i agree with that, kasie, but there's also one other thing. there's folks like joe manchin. the joe manchin rule, do what i want or you don't get anything you want. what we're seeing here, he will only vote for something if it has buy-in from republicans and tax increase os. there's one vote that's going to be tough to get. it's one thing getting -- it's one thing getting something through during a pandemic. it's another thing on infrastructure. so you have to make sure, yes, the president has to make sure he has all 50 votes to go reconcili

klain, now the white house chief of staff. and kasie, who's two interesting twists on the j.d. advance likely run for rob portman's seat. one is that he's become a big voice against big tech. and of course, has rise has been viral and he's done very online. so big tech has actually been an important tool of his. and second, he's trying to be trumpy and trying to attack west coast billionaires. but of course, he's supported by one of those billionaires and got to know them well when he was working in venture capital. this is someone with an authentic american story that broke through with americans in a way that few sort of on the ground books have it was one of the first ways that the people tried to understand the trump phenomenon of the struggling areas that went big pro-trump and in the blind spot of so much of the media. >> axios' mike allen, thank you very much for being up early with us today. we really appreciate it. and we have woken up this morning to yet another mass shooting in america. it also happens to be the sam

so i don't think a call from ron klain or jen psaki would necessarily have the fox news talking heads change their messaging. one thing i did find interesting about tucker carlson's monologue last night was that that it illustrated they're still having trouble landing a direct hit on the biden administration. this -- this message came hours before biden himself steps out at the white house and said, you don't have to wear a mask outside anymore. it would almost make more sense if he was doing this in the face of news that biden is continues to insist on mask wearing. in fact, you know, if tucker carlson wants less mask wearing, he could amplify the president's message today, but he's turning it into a culture war. it doesn't match up with the facts comes out of the cdc and the government, which are actually saying something that he doesn't disagree with this this time. >> that's the irony of the whole thing, frank. that's why we covering it as disinformation. we're no longer having different takes on the news of the day. it's straight-up disinformation. annie karni knew, and surely tu

is it ron klain, susan rice, barack obama behind the scenes offering our lease advice? are there any serious journalis left who will do some real investigating to get answers to these questions but sadly these serious issues surrounding the president of the united states, the mob and the media trying to find lucrative ways to spread lies about republicans. look at for example fake news fraud cbs, 60 minutes, still refusing to retract and apologize for the now debunked fake news conspiracy theory hit piece against the florida governor ron desantis which, you know, use nothing but lies to falsely suggest that the state of florida cut a secret exclusive deal with publics on vaccines. that never happened. as the state of florida never paid publix a single penny. there was no pay to play for anybody. for the record, publix is a huge chain and they've given money and justiv as much money to republicans and democrats, including democratic virginia senator mark warner, and tim kaine.in now the good news is income of florida democrats are now calling out cbs for their outright l

klain this past week. take a listen to what he had to say about that. >> we want to move forward if at all possible on a bipartisan basis. i think there's some hope for that. in the end let me be clear. the president was elected to do a job. part of that job was to get this country ready to win the future. that's what he's going to do. we know it has bipartisan support in the country so we'll try our best to get bipartisan support here in washington. >> so bipartisan support in the country but maybe not on capitol hill. what does that really look like when it comes to actually getting a bill like this passed? >> first of all, it looks like i haven't moved or changed since thursday when i did that interview. >> you haven't aged a day from thursday. >> i have left this stool. well, reading between the lines of that interview, they're not defining victory as bipartisanship. they are really driven by the lesson of 2009 when arguably barack obama did define victory by bipartisanship and he had to because he did

. >> we are live now to from white house chief of staff ron klain who is expected to talk about what's next on the president agenda this morning at the present unveiling a a $2.3 trillion infrastructure and economic package. "politico" is hosting this event. event. this is live coverage on c-span2. ..

this morning the president will be briefed on the fedex shooting, but the white house chief of staff ron klain, who is an indiana native, he has already been in touch with the mayor of indianapolis to discuss the situation on the ground and the homeland security adviser to the president has also been in touch with authorities on the ground. look, it is remarkable to see the pace of the shootings in america that are happening now as this country is beginning to return to that prepandemic normal. and this is unfortunately a big part of that prepandemic normal. it was just a week ago yesterday that biden signed a half dozen executive actions to try and address gun violence in the wake of those shootings in boulder, colorado, and atlanta, georgia. another shooting in america. we will see how president biden chooses to respond to this. he's already called on congress to take action to ban assault weapons, ban high capacity magazines and to close those background check loopholes. no actions so far from capitol hill as we know. the political dynamics there very much still firm with republicans

monica, ron klain was out there doing interviews today. it's interesting, they want to -- it seems like the message is, hey, we're not going it alone yet. >> exactly, chuck. they're trying to build that runway so then later if there is no republican support for this structure plan, they can say hey, at least we tried. and you did hear that also from the transportation secretary, pete buttigieg, who was on msnbc a few hours ago, saying he's privately talking to lawmakers from both parties about this and then you have the president saying he's going to be inviting those lawmakers into the oval office in the coming days. in the meantime, he did hand out those home work assignments to the five cabinet secretaries representing, of course, transportation, energy, commerce, labor and hud. and he has essentially asked them to report back before the next cabinet meeting on their progress in terms of seeing not just how they sell this on capitol hill but also to the american public. that was a signal to me, again, they're going to do what they did w

klain seeing if there's some deal that they can make on infrastructure. so kasie, one idea they're floating is in a first package to draw those ten republican senators votes, could you limit it to traditional infrastructure, what republicans have been wanting, roads, bridges, airports, and leave out other packages. there's room for a deal and these talks go beyond last time which was more photo op or media in the oval office. these seem to be real conversations. >> if there they're worth keeping secret, that makes some sense to me, mike. do you know if there's a time line on these talks? i think there's some democrats on the hill who don't want to drag this out? are there setting memorial day deadline, end of summer deadline to see if they can get these people on board? >> no, kasie, you're also hearing that they hope to do it this summer. a little bit this is flash back to the obama administration when they realized that when things drag out too long, if you get past labor day, then suddenly you're in next year, then you're suddenly in the mid terms. so,

that was retweeted by white house chief of staff ron klain. >> if you are interested in hearing from members of congress and their reaction to president biden's speech you can go overdue c-span 2. we're going to be hearing from members of congress in just a few minutes as they make their way over there. and in just a fee minutes as it is the republican response. tim scott, republican from south carolina, will be delivering that. a little more about the center, he was appointed to the senate in 2012 by then-governor nikki haley to replace jim dement who went over to the heritage foundation. he was reelected in 2016 and he is up for reelection in 2022. he's the top republican on the aging committee and he also serves on the banking, finance, health education labor and pensions committee, as well as the small business committee. got anything else? >> this is from paul cain who has also been covering capitol hill. he noted this about the chamber tonight. he said it is so quiet that we have heard a senator's phone ring and a sneeze. lawmakers were approaching the president, pitching ideas

ron klain is our first

already his white house chief of staff ron klain, a hoosier and an indianapolis native himself, he has already been in touch with the mayor of indianapolis and the homeland security adviser has also been in touch with law enforcement officials. i would expect that we will hear from president biden at some point today on this shooting. either when he meets with the japanese prime minister later today at the white house or perhaps before then. but as of now, we know the president waking up this morning to another mass shooting in america and he is expected to be briefed in detail later this morning. jim? >> the president is and we all are. jamie damd,idimon, thanks very . >>> this time a 13-year-old boy shot and killed while running away from police. was the shooting justified? as the police are claiming here. we'll look at the circumstances here with others and former officers as well. >>> and researchers are testing the pfizer vaccine now in children as young as 2. as the company's ceo says that it may be necessary to have an annual booster shot following initial vaccinations. we'll di

klain the chief of staff are trying to run through. that's not the reality either. they are desperately seeking some sort of approach here that can chisel away at biden's popularity. >> what evidence is there that it would work? this was tried during the campaign. they tried to paint joe biden as a crazy liberal. this was tried during the campaign where the russians and the trump campaign tried to paint joe biden as not mentally competent. and he still won. so, why would this work now? >> yeah. and i'm glad you noted, there are two things here at play, right, john? it is sort of the notion oh he's this old out of touch guy. so other people have to be in charge. and it's the and other people are in charge that are going to be so much more extreme and liberal than joe biden presents himself to be. they're trying both in this one line of attack. to your point, john, i've seen no evidence yet that it's working. obviously we lived in -- we live in very polarized times. and there's some benefit that animates the republican base with these li

what ron klain was referring to is the fact that there's an ongoing review. it's both a policy and legal review. >> reporter: biden has supported loan forgiveness for certain nonprofit and government workers and pushed to make community college free, but he previously objected calls to wipe up to $50,000 in student debt indicating it would benefit high income borrowers. he pushed instead for a lesser amount of up to $10,000. the country's outstanding debt■ç sits at about $1.7 trillion. the brookings institution estimates until cost $1 trillion to wipe 50 grand for every borrower whereas president biden's proposal would cost about $373 billion. progressives are pushing biden to go big, claiming it's a matter of racial justice, pointing to black students who historically have borrowed at higher rates and struggled more with repavement. dem -- repayment. democrats have already laid the groundwork in the last coronavirus relief bill making debt forgiveness tax-free. david? david: let's get reaction from political analyst gianno caldwell and democrat strategist

. >> white house chief of staff ron klain spoke about president biden's agenda with politico playbook chief washington correspondent, ryan liz this conversation is 20 minutes. za. ryan: good morning, everyone. i am the co-author of political playbook and chief washington correspondent at politico. the washington administration is full ahead with the vaccination

we heard from jen psaki, and ron klain, the chief of staff as well, that yes, we'd like to work with republicans and bring them onboard for our infrastructure plan. we have heard from mitch mcconnell and just about every other republican we're not getting onboard with a tax hike. where does this net out? are we going back to reconciliation on this massive new bill? >> willie, it seems very obvious to me that democrats are going to have to pass this package on a party line vote, and that means using that special process. and in fact we may hear today whether they'll get a third chance to use this process before the midterm elections. remember, this is something that typically you're only allowed to do once a year. but the reality here is that democrats are using -- they're running the same playbook that mitch mcconnell used when donald trump was president. moving these corporate tax rates back in the direction from which they came just reverses some of the tax cuts that republicans used when they pushed through a reconciliation package along entirely partisan lines. so that's -- they'

she also slammed the ways the state is ron klain the tax is too high and criticizing the covid lockdown. she said "small businesses have been devastated because of the other restricted lockdown and an entire generation of children have lost a year of education and have been prevented from going back to school." she also has a campaign website that happened. for california. her policy positions are not listed on there, but they are selling merchandise from wineglasses to hats. california governor gavin newsom just waiting on her announcement. pointing out that she is working with one of his former campaign managers. mason also asked for more money saying they are going to need it to keep up with her personal wealth and fund-raising efforts. the recall election is not official yet, but everyone in california expected to happen. ct and we will be watching every minute of it. christina coleman reporting live from the west coast. >> john: a curious mom goes viral blasting her local school board. listen here. >> everyone of us knows that young children are not affected by this virus. that is

steve, ron klain, i do it because i don't want to be a monday morning quarterback, but they have questions, and i answer them, and i give them some advice. i think that biden is somebody who understands the senate. he has told me many times, don't forget, i'm a senate guy. he's a senate guy. in the senate for all those years. he understands the senate. and i think that his first 100 days as president of the united states has proven he knows what's going on. >> and with that, we're going to leave it there. senate majority leader harry reid, thank you for getting up a little early there in nevada to be with us on "the sunday show." >> thank you very much for allowing me to be on the show. >>> coming up, richard engel joins us live to talk about his special report on the january 6th insurrection. keep it where it is. ♪ ♪ i'll be right back. with moderate to severe crohn's disease, i was there, just not always where i needed to be. is she alright? i hope so. so i talked to my doctor about humira. i learned humira is for people who still have symptoms of crohn's disease after trying other m

they don't want people like jen psaki or ron klain or the president or the vice president leading this campaign. they want it to be people who don't seem to have a political agenda, folks like david was just saying, out in the community and friends and family, but also celebrities who are not a part of our daily political conversation, and the other thing interesting that we're seeing biden officials talk about is a focus on tone. they don't want to create an impression that they're belittling people who are hesitant to take the vaccine or making them feel stupid for not wanting to take the vaccine. rather, they want health officials to be open and sympathetic to the concerns that people out there might have about the vaccine. to be ready to answer questions no matter what they are, no matter how silly they might seem to the experts, but to not make people feel bad about having those concerns and then try to meet them in the middle somehow to persuade them to switch sides. they realize they're not going to get to everybody, but they need to try to get to 85% or 90% of the country in or

they're dealing with ron klain, the white house chief of staff, when they meet, but they have the ear of the president. and joe biden, president joe biden is different than candidate joe biden. we've talked about that a lot on a number of different fronts. but they have definitively decided that they want to be a transformational administration when it comes to these progressive items. so the progressive caucus has a lot more power than it ever did. it was always kind of a small player up on capitol hill. now because of the white houses' acceptance, more moderate democrats are saying, hey, i need to get into this, and they're having a lot of sway. steve: if joe biden gets his way and he does pass this $2 trillion infrastructure program, they're going to have to pay for it. and one way is to raise taxes. i know you're involved in a new series available on fox nation called the unauthorized history of taxes. you, you talked to a guy by the name of scott hodge. he's an economist, right? >> exactly. the tax policy, yes. and he's really great as far as knowing the history. and one of the t
