- Our border is wide open.

Illegal immigration is skyrocketing.

- [Jenna] Amid criticismof the White House plan

to stem the humanitariancrisis at the border.

Plus...

- There was too much of atendency early on to dismiss,

this possibility of a laboratory leak.

- [Eric] The latest on the lab leak theory

around the origin of COVID-19, and...

- We don't need to be divided any further.

- [Jenna] Throwing a wrenchin the Democratic agenda,

Senator Joe Manchin makes astand in the name of compromise.

And...(marching band music)

- [Eric] Join us in remembering

the anniversary of D-day.

All this and more,tonight on "Faith Nation."

(upbeat music)

- The Vice President Kamala Harris

saw on the ground in Guatemala.

Welcome to "Faith Nation,"I'm Jenna Browder.

- And I'm Eric Philips.

A major diplomatic test,

that's what some are calling

the vice president's first foreign trip.

- And with stops in Guatemalaand Mexico, her goal,

to address some of theroot causes of migration

from central America,

hoping to discourage somepeople from coming to the U.S.

- CBN News, National SecurityCorrespondent, Caitlin Burke

with our top story tonight.

- This trip comes asrecord numbers of migrants

continued across the U.S-Mexico border.

Something that many Republicans

and former president Donald Trump himself,

blame solely, on the Biden administration.

- You look at our border, is wide open.

Illegal immigration is skyrocketing

at a level that we've never seen before.

And this is over a period of a few months.

America's being demeaned and humiliated

on the world's stage.

- [Caitlin] It's been nearly three months

since Biden assigned Vice President Harris

to focus on slowing migrationfrom central America.

Republicans pushed for her tovisit the U.S Southern border,

where as of early may,officials were holding

more than 22,000 unaccompanied minors.

Instead, Aide say she'sbeen meeting virtually

with key immigration players,

in an effort to put together

the administration's official strategy.

Tuesday, mark T. Harris'sfirst in-person action,

as she sat down with Guatemalan President,

Alejandro Giammattei.

- The reason I am here inGuatemala, as my first trip,

as vice president of the United States,

is because this is one ofour highest priorities.

And I came here to be here on the ground,

to speak with the leader of this nation,

around what we can do,

in a way that is significant, is tangible,

and has real results.

And I will continue to befocused on that kind of work,

as opposed to grand gestures.

- [Caitlin] The Biden administration

has proposed $4 billionin aid to central America,

over the next four years,

with an additional 310million already committed

towards humanitarianrelief and food insecurity.

The hope is that willlead to economic stability

and curb migration.

- And I wanna emphasize,that the goal of our work,

is to help Guatemalans find hope at home.

At the same time, I want to beclear to folks in this region

who are thinking aboutmaking that dangerous trek

to the United States-Mexico border,

do not come.

Do not come.

- While Harris plans to continue working

on this economic strategy,

she also emphasizedcracking down on corruption,

which has undermined USAID in the past.

Caitlin Burke, CBN News.

- All right, thank you, Caitlin.

Meanwhile, tonight, thepossibility of a lab leak

as the source of the Coronavirus pandemic,

is gaining traction.

A pair of scientists writingin a Wall Street Journal op-ed,

that the science pointsto a Wuhan lab leak quote,

"The fact that the Corona virus

with all its random possibilities,

took the rare and unnatural combination

used by human researchers,

implies that the leading theory

for the origin of the Corona virus

must be laboratory escape.

Former Secretary of StateCondoleezza Rice on Sunday

also addressing more credence

to the theory that COVID-19 originated

at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

- There was too muchof a tendency early on

to dismiss this possibilityof a laboratory leak.

Some of the evidence wasright in front of our faces.

So, we know that there wasstate department diplomats

who inspected, so tospeak, that laboratory,

and came back and said

that the safety practiceswere substandard.

- The bio-safety level four lab in Wuhan

is the only one of its kind in China,

and one of only a handful in the world.

Three Wuhan lab researchers fell ill

with COVID-like symptomsback in November of 2019.

And here with us now is medicfor some medical perspective

Dr. Martin Makary,

a professor of healthpolicy and management

at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health,

and the author of thebook, "The Price We Pay."

What Broke American HealthCare--and How to Fix It."

Dr. Makary welcome, it'sgreat to have you with us.

So, this lab leak idea waslargely dismissed last year.

And now, we have lawmakers

calling for a full-blown investigation.

You were actually one of thefew people in the medical field

who said, this could be a possibility?

- Well, Jenna and Eric,good to be with you guys.

It was very clear to mebeyond a shadow of a doubt,

back in the spring of last year.

And I said publicly on television,

that an infected lab worker

at the Wuhan Institute of virology

had likely come to the hospital.

The doctors originally were detained,

the lab is just fivemiles from the hospital.

And the 2018 inspection report showed,

that the conditionswere so bad that it was,

basically, the equivalentof doing dangerous research

in a dental office to quote the report.

Since then, no lab sampleshad been turned over

by the Chinese government,

knows zoonotic source has been identified,

and now we have all theinformation we need.

It's no longer a lab hypothesis,

it's the default conclusion

from the circumstantial evidence.

- Yeah. And you weresounding the alarm early.

What about the potential ofthe malpractice of China?

If they had been more transparent,

could that have saved lives?

- Eric people have a rightto be angry right now.

If you think about the consequences here,

this is the largest liabilityor malpractice case,

in the history of the world.

So, people have a rightto get more answers,

and we're not gonna get itfrom a full investigation.

Be careful when you hear politicians

posturing for a full investigation.

We have all the data we'regoing to get right now,

and the conclusion is very obvious.

- Well, let's talk about herd immunity.

I know in your book, you talkabout a natural immunity,

and you say, you know,

this is an important factor,that shouldn't be discounted.

- That's right, Jenna.

And I'll have an op-ed

in the Wall StreetJournal later this week.

Talking about natural immunity.

It's one of the biggest failures

of our medical establishmentto dismiss natural immunity.

It's about half the country.

And if you have it, it turnsout the data has come out,

even this week with two big studies,

showing that it works, it's durable.

You may not need the vaccineand it's probably long lasting.

It's probably lifelong.

So, when you dismiss natural immunity,

you see only 63% of adultsin America are vaccinated,

the road to get to 85%is a dire situation.

It requires mandates, andkids getting vaccinated,

and demonizing those who are hesitant.

But recognizing thathalf of the unvaccinated

have natural immunity,

it explains why we'reat herd immunities now

and cases are plummeting.

- Yeah. Dr. Makary,

you take on the medicalestablishment in your book.

What lessons can leaders like Dr. Fauci,

and others learn from this pandemic?

- Well, Eric, I'm a cancer surgeon.

I spend most of my timein public health research.

But I'm reminded frequentlyhow life is short.

And one important thing as a leader,

in the medical field oranywhere, is humility.

We didn't see that.

He got so many things wrong,

and we all make mistakes.

But the principle job of that position,

is to warn us of a pandemicand tell us how to manage it.

We didn't get the warnings,

and then once it happened,

I wrote the first articlecalling for universal masking

in the New York Times.

Why didn't we hear thatfrom our medical leadership?

That was something where Ithink it would be helpful

for him to say I got it wrong.

- Dr. Makary, you know,

there are kinds growing concern...

Growing calls within theGOP to oust Dr. Fauci.

What about that?

Do you think that's fair?

- Look, I think people arevery frustrated right now,

and they're looking at thegain of function research,

and they're angry becausesome of this is research

that we funded,

now, we can't say for certain,

it was gain of function research.

But we know that there wasinterest in gain of function.

And it certainly makes sense,

especially based on the WallStreet Journal article today,

that the duplicate CGGgenetic sequence in the virus,

suggests it was manipulated.

That's what the scientistswrote about today.

I think people are angry right now.

I just would caution peopleagainst doing something

that doesn't really haveany impact on the future.

We shouldn't be goingafter one individual,

we should move on.

- Yeah. And to yourpoint, you had mentioned,

you know, masks, and how youwere one of the first people,

really, very early on, tocall for universal masking.

I'm curious, where do yousee dawned on masks today?

And, you know, are there still some...

Are they still needed in some situations?

- Look SARS-CoV-2, which is COVID-19,

spreads just like SARS-CoV-1. or SARS,

airborne, air-slides virus.

That's what Dr. Fauci and the giant group,

think of the medicalestablishment got wrong.

But now the pandemic is really over.

The number of daily casesof COVID are 1/50th,

the number of daily cases of flu

in the middle of a mild flu season.

We need to move on, weneed to re-establish

a human connection.

We've got to address theeffects of profound loneliness,

and rebuild communities.

- All right. Dr. MartinMakary, thank you so much.

It's great to have you on.- We appreciate your time.

- Thanks so much.(air whooshing)

- Welcome back.

It's now or never for presidentBiden's progressive agenda,

and it's looking more and more like never.

The president has declared June,

a month of action on Capitol Hill.

- So, who's standing in his way

of his signature legislation passing?

Will members of his own party?

And what kind of blowback are they suffering?

Dale Hurd explains.

- [Dale] Joe Biden has called June,

a month of action on Capitol hill.

But as the Senatereturns to session today,

much of his signature legislationis in danger of failing,

thanks to a few centrist Democrats.

And it means the "For The People Act,"

the massive elections reform package,

Democrats have proposed won't pass,

and the filibuster likelywill prevent other legislation

like "Gun Control" and "The Equality Act"

from even making it to theSenate floor for a vote.

The Infrastructure Billis still bogged down,

with both sides divided overtraditional infrastructure,

and so-called People Infrastructure

like paid leave and childcare.

The president is pointing the finger

at Democratic Senators JoeManchin of West Virginia,

and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona,

for the lack of progress on his agenda.

- I hear all the folks on TV saying,

"Why don't Biden get this done?"

Well because Biden only has a majority

of effectively four votes in the House,

and a tie in the Senate.

with two members of theSenate who vote more

of my Republican friends.

- [Dale] Manchin came out against

the "For The People Act" this weekend,

calling it too divisive.

- I've always been about bipartisanship.

I've always tried towork in a bipartisan way,

and I've voted in a bipartisan way

in the last 10 years of the Senate.

So, I'm doing what I have always done.

Let's unite this country.

We don't need to be divided any further.

- [Dale] Manchin wrotein a home state newspaper

that the voting bill was aboutseeking partisan advantage.

He's now under attackby the progressive wing

of his own party,

with Congressman MondaireJones tweeting that,

"Manchin's op-ed might as well be titled,

'Why I'll to preserve Jim Crow."

Frustrated progressive'swanting to do away

with the filibuster,

but Manchin and Sinema saythey won't support such a move.

Dale Hurd, CBN News.

(air whooshing)

- And here with us now, our very own

Chief Political Analyst David Brody.

Thanks so much for joining us, sir.

Now, over the weekend, as wejust mentioned in that story,

Senator Joe Manchin made it clear,

that he would not vote for theelection reform legislation

called the "For The People Act,"

nor will he support doingaway with the filibuster,

to pave the way forDemocrats to go it alone.

How much of this will affectthe dynamic on Capitol Hill?

- Well, it affects quite a bit.

And let's just take a step back,

because a lot of people are talking

about how Manchin won't supportthe "For The People Act,"

which obviously, is truebecause Manchin said it.

But the other part of that,in the op-ed of the weekend,

is that he won't supportthe legislative filibuster.

And that changes thedynamic in Capitol hill,

because as you mentioned, Eric,

at the top of this segment,

there is a desperation by Democrats,

to want to get all ofthis legislation passed

through the legislative filibuster.

In other words, change the rules,

instead of 60 votes, make it 50 votes,

and cram it all through.

"D.C Statehood," "The Equality Act,"

"For The Peoples Act," all of it.

But the fact that Manchin'snot gonna go there

and Kyrsten Sinema is not gonna go there.

She said something alongthose lines last week,

means that Democrats are in a pickle.

And where this is now going,

is a fight between of the progressives,

of who are frustrated with Joe Manchin.

I mean, in essence, JoeManchin has become Mitt Romney.

That's pretty much,

he is, not a RINO, he's aDINO, a Democrat In Name Only,

and that's where theDemocrats are right now.

- I mean, of course,Democrats and President Biden,

would love to passsomething on infrastructure.

But Senator Lindsey Graham has said,

it would be a done deal if they would,

you know, kinda keep it,

to what traditionally hasbeen called infrastructure.

David, though, it seems with each day

the idea of getting something done here

is less and less likely.

Is infrastructure still possible?

- Well, let's be clear.

The infrastructure deal betweenRepublicans and Democrats

looks like it is not possible,

that they are not gonnacome to an agreement.

However, that does not mean

that infrastructure itself is dead.

Because what the Democratshave in their hip pocket,

what they believe theyhave in their hip pocket,

is a way to get infrastructure done

through budget reconciliation.

So we're talking aboutall of this maneuvering

between Republicans and Democrats,

and we're gonna see if it all works out.

But if it doesn't, we go on to,

I guess the Democrats wouldcall it the bonus round.

And the bonus round means,

going ahead and trying to getinfrastructure done their way.

In other words, roads,bridges, tunnels, and internet,

and all of the social programs they want,

adding up to about $2.7 trillion or so.

The Democrats may try tojust pass that through,

as it relates to 50 votesin budget reconciliation.

So, that's the race in the hole.

In other words,

if the negotiations don't work out,

the Republicans will say,

"Okay, we'll go it alone for 50 votes."

The question though, that at that point,

is how much that'llcome back to haunt them

in the midterms in 2022,it's a big, big gamble.

- Yeah. Less than aminute left here, David.

There may not be bipartisan support

for that whole infrastructure situation.

But there is support inthe Senate for a bill

that could pass as soon as tomorrow,

aimed at improving America's manufacturing

and technological edge against China.

Why does this effort seemto be able to gain steam

on both sides of the aisle?

- Well, because as muchas the Republicans see

the Democrats as the enemy,

yet as much as the Democrats see

the Republicans as the enemy,

Republicans and Democrats both see China

as the bigger enemy.

And that's the answer.

And so, in essence, thisbill and there's a lot to it.

But the bottom line isit's going to invest money,

basically, a make America better bill.

Another America getting money for infas...

Not infrastructure, excuse me,

but for certain biomedical research,

AI technology, that type of thing,

invested into American companies

to be competitive with China.

So, that's the reason why this

can get bipartisan support quickly,

because China's the biggest enemy,

and Republicans the Democrats

don't have to fight each other so much,

they all agree thatChina is a major threat.

- Now, common cause in China.

All right, David Brody, thank you so much.

Have a great evening.

- You too.(air whooshing)

- Tonight, remembering D-Day.

77 years ago, Sunday,

the allies turned the tidehide against axis forces

in World War II.

- Veterans and military officialsat the American Cemetery,

in France paid tribute Sunday,

to the more than 150,000 allied troops

who landed on the beaches ofNormandy to fight for freedom.

Over 4,000 American,Canadian, and U.K troops

lost their lives, many of themwhile storming the beaches

in the largest amphibiousmilitary operation

in world history.

Allied forces braved roughweather and fierce gunfire.

CBS News, International News Director

and Senior InternationalCorrespondent Gary Lane,

spoke with President RonaldReagan son, Michael Reagan,

about the importance ofmarking this day in history.

- [Gary] Why is it importantthat we remember them

and honor their sacrifice?

- It's important that we remember it,

is important that we read our history,

and know our history,

and know the heroes that they were.

They bailed out of planes,you know, over Normandy.

It's great to know the history

and know the stories of these men

that bailed out of these planes,

and ended up saving the world.

If we don't rememberhistory and study history,

then we're gonna repeat it,

and that's proven time andtime again through our history.

- [Gary] And I had the privilege

of reporting from Washington

as CBN News NationalSecurity Correspondent

during your father's presidency.

And on June 6th, 1984, hebecame the first U.S president

to visit Omaha Beach,Normandy for D-Day ceremonies.

He gave two historic speeches that day,

talking about thingsthat are worth dying for,

freedom, democracy.

And he said the troopshad stormed those beaches

were liberators not conquerors.

Let's listen to a shortclip from the speech

he gave at the cemetery.

- This land is secure.

We are free.

These things are worthfighting and dying for.

We will always remember.

We will always be proud.

We will always be prepared.

Shall we, maybe always free.

- [Gary] So, how concernedare you, Michael,

that young Americans,

I'm thinking Millennials and Gen-Zs,

don't really know about their sacrifice,

the price had many paid for our freedom.

After all, I know theseveterans will pass,

what we lose the memoryof what happened on D-Day?

Are we losing the Judeo-Christian values

of sacrifice and service?

What do you think?

- If we don't instill it in our children,

we can't expect someone else to do that.

I was playing golf witha 25-year-old young man

before I raised that flag at Normandy.

I was in L.A playing golf,

and I told them what I was ready to do.

And he is 25 years old, had no idea

why there was even anAmerican cemetery at Normandy.

And I thought, "He's reallythe normal, not the abnormal."

And I said to him atthe 18th pole, I said,

"Did you think D-Day is whenyour report card came home?"

He had no idea.

I go to France, they loved America,

all those countries that were freed,

by American soldiers andthey're still being freed,

love America.

The problem is Americansforgot to love America.

- [Gary] What else can be done?

What do we need to do?

- Say thank you every single day.

Every time you see a vet, nomatter what war, thank them.

But don't bank them three days a year,

thank 'em every day of every single year.

You see a vet at breakfast,or at lunch, or dinner,

having dinner, buy him a meal, pay for it.

You see a police officer, a fireman,

anybody who is serving and willing

to give their life for youand me to have freedoms,

and to be safe, the littlethings that you can do,

to say thank you very much

for what you're willing to do.

The love that you have for mycity, my state, my country,

I wanna thank you for it.

- [Gary] And we wannathank you, Michael Reagan,

political consultant, speaker, author,

and son of President Ronald Reagan.

We appreciate you, Michael.

Thank you for joining us,

and for keeping your father's legacy,

and the legacy of thoseD-Day veterans alive.

We appreciate it.- Thank you.
