then, we have the white house. in terms of my particular reasons for voting the way that i did, one, i believe that local government should have control over local matters. i don't want to characterize what president biden may or may not be -- due. >> will be a mistake? >> it might be a mistake, what he might not do, but i say i will continue to support the principle of local government control over local matters. >> jeffries, notably avoiding casting any blame on president biden for this, simply saying he will not speak prematurely, because this vote is expected to be taken out by the senate this coming week. we have already seen some senate democrats pledged their support for this. as a matter of fact, immediately after the presidents announcement, we saw democratic pennsylvania senator bob casey announced that he was going to vote with republicans on this bill, which just needs a simple majority to pass. so it is expected to pass, when it gets to president biden's desk. this move as a whole, alex, definitely a c

. >> -- the people at the white house -- speak to the justice department. the walls -- you know what? we could do this all evening. but glenn kirschner, i'm going to give you the last word on this. because there are house republicans that, as daniella alluded to, they threatened to defund alvin bragg's office if he moves forward with the charges. some folks have called that intimidation. how much power do republicans in congress actually have over local da funding? >> if you add it up, i would say zero. i mean, the tenth amendment says that there are rights that are delegated to the united states, to the federal government, and all of the other rights that are not specifically a numerator to the federal government and all reserved for the states and the people. federal legislatures have absolutely no business sticking their nose into state prosecutions. i maintained out it was a pretty gross and transparent abuse of power by mccarthy and jordan and the other committee members, who were doing nothing more than trying to kill a district attorney because he wa

when you walk into the white house, what you've done plenty of times. you go into the east wing, you see those pictures of martin luther king jr. day, ralph abernethy, whitney young. sitting there with president lyndon johnson, talking about civil rights. that is the seat that you know have the table. and this march in selma did it 58 years ago. >> no doubt about it. and when you look at -- and you had a big hand with all of his departments. i don't think a lot of people in the public understand how a lot of departments that he inherited when he won the election did not even have a lot of diversity at the top in the departments of government. >> absolutely not. i had the opportunity to go to the white house, to the executive building where then president obama was president. i went there one time with president trump, and i found i would never go in again because i did not feel welcome. when i walk on that campus today, it is reflected that this is the most diverse administration in the history of our country. and those decisions matter because when we

that's a big shift from what the white house said in the past. last year, they were saying, we need more funding for covid so we can continue to invest in vaccines and treatments and so that we can prepare for a potential new variant this fall. republicans have said that that is not something that they are willing to support. we're not expecting to see that kind of funding in the president's proposal, really showing a shift in the white house, that they are not necessarily focused on the disease itself but just on the economic recovery and moving past it. >> lauren, before we go, of course, the budget battle is really a precursor to what looms, the fight over the debt ceiling which could come to a dead later this summer. i know you're talking to people on both sides of pennsylvania avenue. what's the latest? how woried are people that we may be heading over that cliff? >> i think it's a real serious worry. simply because the stakes are so high here. i think the president is going to touch on that in his speech today. because this is sort of overs
