major league baseball pulling its all-star game out of atlanta. put in to context if you can, how the issue of voting rights has moved in to the center, not just of the political, but the cultural conversation and you have to wonder if other states are going to take note? >> you know, i think we have seen, related to this is the trial going on in minneapolis, with the death of george floyd, we have seen a kind of racial reckoning in this country that is still going on. that involves not only law enforcement and police procedure. it involves thing-s like efforts to restrict access to the ballot box. so you had georgia pass that law. they are baying a price now. you have got the all-star game moving. you have threatened boycotts against big companies. and you see action in texas, which is the next big battleground for state laws to restrict voting with a lot of companies, i think about 200 companies today issuing statements, expressing concern about that. that means it's not just a fight that involves politicians, this is now become a fight in which

i had to stay up with the shooting and atlanta, there have been so many since, one day, six asian women gunned down for going to work. we all know the rhetoric surrounding covid-19 that we have lived through, what is your degree of certainty that joe biden will put pen to paper and signed the legislation as you intended it? >> i have a high degree of certainty because speaker pelosi put out a statement today, when they return in may that they intend to vote on the senate bill. so it is going to move pretty quickly, and of course, next month is asian pacific history month, so it is very appropriate. >>, let's talk about the one no photo he is not the important topic today, we should get to it, josh hawley, the insurrectionist, curious republican senator from missouri, why did he vote against this? >> i know he had some sort of reason, but i think josh hawley is not the one that i want to spend a lot of time on. he didn't want to stand with the api community incomplete -- in condemning these acts. that is his choice. i hope there will be some repercussions for him. but we move along, you

hoffler firm in atlanta. she has counseled jesse jackson, also happens to be president of the national bar association, the nation's oldest network of predominantly black judges and attorneys, and counselor, indeed, i'd like to begin with you tonight. let's talk about this charge against the now former police officer who we saw on video firing the shot that killed daunte wright. second-degree manslaughter in the parlance of the law, man 2. is the right charge in your view? >> first of all, great to be here tonight, brian. is it the right charge? i would have to say that given what we saw -- and we have to trust our eyes -- i think there should have been a greater charge, but because of how the events unfolded, i believe that the district attorney felt that man 2 was probably the best that they could do given the circumstances. i would have hoped for a stronger charge, a higher charge because i thought that her behavior was, quite frankly, unacceptable and reckless. it was just completely reckless. you know th

attempting to avoid a scenario, like when the mlb pulled its all-star game out of atlanta. "washington post" writes this. on wednesday, republican state representative cain proposed financial penalties against entities that publicly threaten any adverse action against the state in protest against election legislation. "the post" continues, to many of the companies and voting rights advocates, the message is clear. some republicans have no plans to back down and businesses that continue to speak out could face retribution. we can't discuss these measures without reiterating that the motivation behind them is not real. it's fake. even bill barr said so. there was no widespread voter fraud, he said. even chris krebs, who was in charge of election security, said so. even though mitch mcconnell and many, many others, republicans, denounced trump's lies after the insurrection, there are still gop lawmakers in state legislatures all across the country advancing these bills, advancing these voter restriction bills, using the big lie, and the pretense of ensuring election security,

images and these devastating murders of unarmed black americans and also what recently happened in atlanta, an instance of white supremacy and misogyny against the aapi community. this recovery needs to be one that is trauma informed and we need to make sure there are resources that people can get help that they need, eliminate those barriers and i'm calling for my children act to be a framework within that. in that this is black maternal health week, we are sitting in the disparate health outcomes and the racial injustices, this is another issue. my grandmother died in the 1950s in child birth and the fact that right now in 2021 that black women could still be four times more likely to die in child birth or in birthing complications is simply unacceptable and those concerns and those realities have only worsened under the pandemic which is why i've introduced the covid-19 safe birthing act to ensure that there are those protections because ensuring a safe pregnancy should be a fundamental human right and not a privilege. >> as i listen to you talk, part of what i am struck by is that we a

but chief shields, whom you just heard in that moment, actually served at atlanta pd during the time i was at dekalb even though we did not know each other personally. but she is one of the boldest, she is upstanding, she believes in 21st century policing like many of us do across this country. and that's the type of straightforward answer and welcoming to be better that all of us must open ourselves up to in the coming months and days and years ahead. that is the right approach, that's the right attitude, and that's the right direction we have to go in. >> well, thank you for saying that, chief. it would be hard to script a better response to us consumers than the one she gave today. joyce vance, what a sea change for your beloved department of justice, especially during the reign of bill barr. do you think four years from now, we will look back at this type of thing and, make no mistake, it's activist of the doj to do this, to send a planeload of people to arrive in a municipality and look at your police department top to bottom. do you think we'll look back at this as one of the h

mass shooting in a string of violence we have witnessed just in the last few weeks of this year from atlanta, georgia, to boulder, colorado, and now indianapolis. i want to go antonia hylton in indianapolis. we have with us frank fragluzi, a former special agent in charge of the fbi's cleveland field office. antonia, we will start with you. we heard it's early in the investigation, it's an active crime scene. they are working to identify the victims and to positively identify the shooter. bring us up to speed. what else did we learn from authorities last hour? >> reporter: what really strikes me coming out of the presser is not just how heartbreaking and chaotic the scene was last night but how chaotic the situation remains now. what we learned from officials, from the police, from the fbi, is we don't have a positive identification of the gunman. they are working on the identification of the victims. i'm getting resources and information to heartbroken families, which is a time consuming process, of course. after only about 12 hours of investigation time, we still don't have a full accounti

dead at a grocery store in boulder, colorado, on march 22nd, and just a week before, eight victims at atlanta area spas. a painful list while adding another city this week. >> and as this community begins to heal, two vigils planned today and as investigations continue to push forward, we know that officials will be reviewing the evidence collected at the suspect's home yesterday and they will also continue interviewing witnesses in hopes of finding a motive. alex? >> a tragic event to say the least. kathy park, thank you for that update. >> let's go now to the breaking news from chicago. that city bracing for more protests today as calls grow for justice in the police shooting death of 13-year-old adam toledo. let's go to nbc's rehema ellis who joins us with more on this. how would you describe the scene there today? >> reporter: i would say it's peaceful here today right now, and last night there were two arrests from the largest demonstration to date and the demonstration which was mostly peaceful, but people are demanding accountability following the police shooting death of this 13-year-

. >>> meanwhile on thursday the president and the first lady will travel to atlanta for his 100th day in office. biden is expected to participate in the drive-in car rally to highlight how he's delivered on his promises to the american people. one of his ton priorities is his massive $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan which updates the nation's infrastructure and expands care giving options for older and disabled americans. joining us now co-founder of punch bowl news anna palmer. anna, good morning. great to see you. thanks for being here. these polls show that president biden still is in that honeymoon period. a lot of it seems to be fueled by the fact that he gets very high marks for handling the distribution of vaccination, and i know certainly that is something that we're experiencing, that i've been experiencing in my own community, that suddenly it's much easier to get a vaccine, people who want one are now able, for the most part to get one and mow shifting toward a challenge of access, making sure that underserved communities are able to get them. but what is the challenge for

now you're going to hear from another great civil rights lawyer who hails out of atlanta, georgia who has actually been in communications with the county attorney for days trying to get this process set, and he's litigated matters all over the country, and never has he been disrespected like today. he will tell you his perspective before i bring out attorney lassiter. >> thank you, ben. 1965, selma, alabama was bloody sunday, resistance of fundamental rights to vote, rights to vote. this family had a fundamental right for transparency that was denied by the county officials, specifically the county attorney because he does not interpret the laws of north carolina. his position is that you had to be a licensed attorney in the state of north carolina to represent. i offered to read the state bar, rules of the bar, he didn't want to read it. we offered the attorney general to him. he didn't want to talk to him. we offered the governor. he told bacari he is not going to be bullied. 20 seconds is not transparency when you got multiple officers gunning down a man with his hands on the steer

after the major league baseball pulled just this last week, their all-star game, from atlanta and moved it to colorado because of that georgia voting law that was passed here this last month, there are now five lawsuits pending against the state of georgia over its voter election law. but while that litigation is pending, there are other states here that continue this spring, to continue to work through their own legislatures to pass other types of measures. just go from east to west, from florida this week who is working on several different measures, including one in which the sponsor, the republican sponsor of the legislation said that it would -- this piece of legislation would bar individuals from trying to influence voters within 150 feet of the voting entrance. and that could include much like georgia, barring folks from delivering water or food. but then you also move to texas, just again this week, one of the committees in the statehouse passing house bill 6, which would bar local officials from sending out absentee ballot applications to residents. and then move over to arizon

you think about the young man who went and shot up the people in the asian spa in atlanta. they took him alive, arthur, and then my lord, not too far from here in bakari's home state this young white boy named dylann roof went and shot up the whole church and literally, they chased him across state lines into north carolina and they not only took him alive, but they took him to burger king to get a burger and a fry, but andrew brown, they shoot him in the back and we're going to see the video to see what they're trying to hide from all of you all because the truth can't hide forever and a lie cannot live forever. >> i gave you all an assignment and i need you to follow through. i know you're filming, but take it out. i have joe manchin's number right here. it's 202-224-3954. >> 202-224-3954. call his office and tell them we're tired of black folks dying and kyrsten sinema's on. >> say the number once for for joe manchin. 202-224-3954 and kyrsten sinema is 202-224-4521. and just call the office and tell them how you feel. let me turn it over to harry. harry has an update for

and now almost every single day, you have ceos being pulled into debates about voting rights in atlanta or what should we do on this issue or that issue. you had jamie dimon in that same letter talking about how ceos are now essential policy makers that you have to take stands on these big issues. that's going to change the very nature of being a ceo. that's my day job, i'm the ceo of axios. and what an employee expects of you today is so different than three years ago. they really want purpose. they want to know what you stand for as a company. they want to know what the company is doing above and beyond profit. it's one of the reasons a business roundtable last year put up that document last year that said, no longer can companies just be about driving shareholder value. they have to be about something bigger than that. it could be a big change, because you have companies that have a lot of money and deep roots in a lot of communities that can do really big things, but it also puts ceos in a real jam when they're essentially there to try to drive value and create product, to suddenly

it is a choice we are making as a nation in the face of the shootings at the spa in atlanta, in the face of the shootings in the market in boulder, in the face of shootings every single day in the city of philadelphia. it's a choice some are making to do nothing in this country. i refuse to accept that and that's why we're leading on this ghost gun issue and many other issues to try and keep people safe. >> josh shapiro is the attorney general of pennsylvania. josh, as always, thanks for joining us. >>> i want to turn to the start of week three of the murder trial of fired minneapolis police officer derek chauvin. the prosecution is expected to rest this week. so far upward of 30 people have taken the stand several of whom agree that george floyd died last may because he couldn't breathe. >> the cause of death is a low level of oxygen that caused the brain damage and caused the heart to stop. >> mr. floyd died from position al asphyxia, which is a fancy way of saying he died because he had no oxygen left in his body. >> the primary mechanism was asphyxia or low oxygen. >> while the evide

weather threat shifts to the southeast including birmingham, montgomery, all of the florida panhandle, atlanta, and eventually wind damage threat to areas of south carolina, and even a portion there of north carolina. so here's today's forecast, it's a cold morning, on the eastern seaboard, but this afternoon, it warms up nicely. into the 60s. even for boston. mid 60s in dc. and then the weekend forecast, there's the severe weather threat in the southeast saturday. kind of a gloomy rainy day in the ohio valley. that rain will be on the northeast on sunday. especially the first half of the day. you may get lucky with better weather sunday afternoon. excuse me, sunday afternoon. so sunday morning, that's your indoor time. get all of your chores done then. >> goods to know. bill karins, have a wonderful week, thank you so much. see you on monday. >>> still ahead here, jailed opposition leader alexi navalny is weighing in on a wave of arrests this week after thousands of protesters hit the streets calling for his freedom. we're back in a moment. for his . we're back in a moment stay restless with

ever let the system off the hook, whether it's in columbus, whether it's in minnesota, whether it's in atlanta, georgia, whether it's in my hometown of st. louis, missouri. all of american policing has to be put on trial because until we get past the place of accountability and fully to the place of prevention, we still have work to do. >> clint, it's scary, as brittany said. it's also completely misreading the systems that undergird this. republican senator tim scott told nbc news there are four sticking points in the george floyd act for him. ending qualified immunity, restricting no knock warrants and the use of former defense department weapons and banning the choke hold. without those elements, can you really call it reform? >> i don't think so. and i think that part of what we have to understand is that this act is important. and it is important as a means of harm mitigation, as a means of preventing further violence from being enacted against people in this moment. but it is not in and of itself the answer. outside of the criminal legal system, it's hard to think of any other places in

some of those shootings included the killings at three atlanta-area spas, where six of the slain were asian women. a community that's faced an alarming spike in hate incidents, since the pandemic took hold and the president slapped the racist brand name on it. less than a week after that at a supermarket in boulder, a shooter armed with a military-style semiautomatic rifle took the lives of ten people. and about a week after that, the gunman opened fire at a california real estate office, killing four people, including a 9-year-old boy. this country is at a breaking point, folks. it's just a breaking point. partially, because of our refusal to reconcile our violent, racist past. a pursuit the reverend dr. martin luther king jr. died for. years before his assassination, he penned on this day, a letter from jail. included in the letter, were these words. for years now, i have heard the word, wait! it rings in the ear of every negro with piercing familiarity. this "wait" has almost always meant never. this is a moment, when we, as a nation, have to take a hard look at who we are. who we

president biden in georgia right outside of atlanta. this is his 100th day in office. and we are waiting a rally after that big and ambitious speech to congress last night. we're keeping an eye on this. we have special guests and we will dip in and listen to him live. we begin, though, with the biggest story in the country, the criminal probe intensifying into rudy giuliani. the story that touches not only onering we lived through in the last four years but where we're headed now as a nation and what it means for an ex-president who remains under criminal investigation for trying to steal an election. what's new is the feds now have giuliani's phone and electric devices and computer after raiding his apartment and office. giuliani speaking out now on what he's up against and the raid. here's what he said. >> the report a moment ago is that the search warrant involves my pressuring ukrainian officials on behalf of president trump. nothing of the sort. the search warrant involves something totally opposite. search warrant is one act of failing to register as a foreign --

the white man who just killed the people in the asian spa in atlanta, they took him alive. but yet when you have a black person who ain't killed nobody, they shoot first and ask questions later. >> see, chief, the problem that i have with he had a split second decision, the parkland killer just killed a bunch of people. police took a lot more than a second deciding what they're going to do before they calmly took him into custody. the guy who shot up multiple spas, you knew he had a gun because he killed a bunch of people. when they rolled up on him, they had a reasonable case that he had a gun and might have killed them. they didn't use the gun fast. with this 13-year-old child they didn't wait ten seconds before opening up on him like it was a drive-by. he didn't wait to assess what that child was doing and that child was standing there with his hands up with nothing in them. that's the reason that people don't buy that he had a split-second decision. >> no, and joy, fundamentally i agree with you. i made the same arguments very publicly. i've become a pariah somewhat in

imagine a two-hour train ride between atlanta and charlotte going at speeds of 220 miles per hour. an two and a half hour between chicago and detroit, or faster and more regular trips between los angeles and las vegas, a route that i could imagine could be pretty popular on fridays. bill, as you said, your vision for amtrak calls for a new inner city rail service, up to 160 previously unserved communities being connected. think of what it will mean for opportunity if we can connect milwaukee to green bay to madison. scranton and allentown to new york, indianapolis to louisville, and much, much more. its will provide jobs and also will accommodate jobs. and what this means is towns and cities in danger of being left behind will be back in the game. it means families won't have to sacrifice the cost of living or quality of access to opportunity that sometimes only occurs if they live in a big city. we have a huge opportunity here to provide fast, safe, reliable clean transportation in this country. and transit is part of the infrastructure. and like the rest of our infrastructure, we

pulling the all-star game completely out of atlanta in a formal protest that is controversial georgia voter restriction law that just passed after the president said he supports this kind of move. >> i would strongly support them doing that. this is jim crow on steroids what they're doing in georgia and 40 other states. >> the legal says it's acting to support voting rights for all americans and impose unfair restrictions at the ballot box. it comes after years of increasing activism after tensions from within the sports world from colin kaepernick to lebron james and others pushing their own teams and their industries to take sides, to not be neutral when it comes to saying things like black lives matter or police murder is wrong. now, we have as promised the right guests to get into all of this. the sports, the civil rights and the history. kareem abdul-jabbar, known as one of the great athletes of all time. while off the court, he's been a social and political activist for many decades. he was given the medal of freedom from president obama. we are also joined by presidential histo

we'll take you live to atlanta as well where there are developments as it relates to the georgia voting rights law. we want to apologize for a mistake on the show yesterday. we accidentally showed video of another congressman. represent alcee hastings was a judge, and the president says he helped the country live up to the best for all americans. to the best for all americans mm. [ clicks tongue ] i don't know. i think they look good, man. mm, smooth. uh, they are a little tight. like, too tight? might just need to break 'em in a little bit. you don't want 'em too loose. for those who were born to ride there's progressive. with 24/7 roadside assistance. -okay. think i'm gonna wear these home. -excellent choice. there are many reasons for waiting to visit your doctor right now. but if you're experiencing irregular heartbeat, heart racing, chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue or light-headedness, don't wait to contact your doctor. because these symptoms could be signs of a serious condition like atrial fibrillation. which could make you about five times more likely to have a stroke. y

she we are joined now live from atlanta university center. you covered a lot of ground with these students, tell us more about it. you know these students are hopeful but only call your attentionly so. so we heard a lot of reaction to the derek chauvin trial this week, but two things stuck out to me. this was a defining moment, the protests that many of them took part in. it has ticken up a lot of ground. the other thing is they they are really a coming of asian they are based on the deaths of michael brown, just kind of playing out as they were becoming tarms and going through adolescence. they say it has had a big impact on them. >> how many of you were surprised by the verdict? so all of you were surprised in some way? how many of you were relieved. >> it is hard for us to say that i feel relieved because then i have to gear up for something else that i have to champion. >> when our professor said guilty, there was like a weird backlash and reaction from some people, some political figures, some people in the news, and that celebration kin

i remember actually going to the presidential library, carter's library in atlanta and walking around like a mondale geek, i'm looking for joan's dress and those kinds of things from the inauguration. on the wall, i see these words that were actually the words that mondale uttered shortly after they lost, summarizing their four years. and he said, "we told the truth. we obeyed the law. we kept the peace." and that was a lot of my touchtone during the trump years. i had written that down in a piece of paper and put it in my purse. we told the truth, obeyed the law and kept the peace. jimmy carter and walter modale were men of integrity. they bonded on that. what was school having worked for mondale at the law firm afterwards and back on side of my races, including the presidential race, i got to see how the two of them kept talking through time. they would work on things together. carter came out from a funeral just a few years ago and he traveled to minnesota and spoke at her funeral. their friendship strengthened after they left office. >> michael beschloss, it was my privilege at my

i mean pick the city, buffalo, new york city, denver, colorado, portland, oregon, atlanta, georgia, wherever, they look like they're going to war. they have shields, big equipment, and they do that because they want to let people protesting know who is in charge, who holds the authority, who will bend the knee who whom. that's the point. explicitly, it's a psychological performance. that's what we saw in the streets of minneapolis and brooklyn center, show of force with curfews, tear gas and flash bangs. take all the footage before last summer, since and now. take all that and look for a moment at utter inversion of what happened on the steps of the capitol in january. there was hardly any police presence at all. i mean there were officers there, right? covered multiple protests in washington and tends to be a lot of cops around when people are protesting particularly on the mall and capitol. but january 6th, almost no one there. don't have the big wraps and huge bits of equipment, little stanchions in front of them look like bike racks. but not just fortifying, but notable in the interactio

so our partner with the pharmacy in the west end, the rougher part of atlanta and we're out there, going to make it happen for people to get the vaccine right in their neighborhoods so it's very easy. >> now, we talked a lot -- go ahead. >> it has been more difficult for blacks to get the vaccine because people are not doing what damon does. initially only the physicians and medical providers could get it, then the older people. a lot of people did get left behind. >> we talked a lot about the importance of regular testing and the lead up to the commitment march with the vaccine rolling out now. what is the importance of continued testing and other mitigation strategies? >> it is just as important now as it was before. this disease is still killing people and still killing black people in disproportionate numbers than others. it's just as important to wear your mask, just as important to get tested. the vaccine will keep you from getting severe illness or death in most cases, but it doesn't mean you cannot contract the disease nor pass this disease on, so we still need to know whether yo

business community to speak up, including the chamber of commerce, the georgia chamber and the metro atlanta chamber. and it is true that they were behind the scenes hoping they could make the bill better, i think, and i think, actually, at the end they think that what they did, at least they thought what they did, was sufficient, that there was some terrible provisions that were removed from the bill. but the bill that passed is still terrible and their failure to speak as themselves, as georgia corporations, they were beginning to feel the heat when these ceos came out this morning, these are heavy hitters, rachel. these are not people who are silly, who are fly-by-night. these are men and women when they call, you take the call, and business leaders across the country know that. they know these names. so when this came out this morning, a full-page ad in "the new york times" and you saw the ceos on cnbc and the other channels that people in finance watch in the morning, it was clear to me that this was a game changer and i think that with the pressure from the local groups and, of course,

texas governor greg abbott says he is basically boycotting baseball after they decided to move it from atlanta. he said he will not throw out the first pitch at the mlb game in houston tonight. the crowd at tonight's texas rangers home opener is expected to be the largest for the u.s. sporting event amid the pandemic. the 40,000-seat stadium is reopening at full capacity. >>> all right, that's going to do it for us this hour. chuck is going to be back tomorrow with much more "meet the press daily." you can catch me weekdays on msnbc way too early. my coverage on msnbc continues with my friend katy tur after a quick break. my friend katy tur quick break. they're tv shows. you woke up early. no one cares. yes. so, i was using something called homequote explorer from progressive to easily compare home insurance rates. was i hashtagging? progressive can't help you from becoming your parents, but we can help you compare rates on home insurance with homequote explorer. guess what. the waiter doesn't need to know your name. age before beauty? why not both? visibly diminish wrinkled skin in... crepe c

as we mentioned, major league baseball moved their game out of atlanta. georgia companies have come out against it. what more can be done to pressure republicans there who seem to be pandering to the trump base to roll that law back? >> the job is not yet done. the federal government still has a role to play in this with hr-1. the georgians here, we understand why something named the john lewis voting rights act is important, because we have these memories etched in our brains about his sacrifices to vote. but we're not here just to speak. we need action from our federal government. we've heard the department of justice is interested in what is happening here, and we need for local election boards to pay attention to what the state election boards are doing. senate bill 202 allows for the state to take over local election boards and replace them with one individual. this is a call for action in georgia, and we're going to keep knocking. >> you're absolutely right to single that out. that is the one that keeps me up at night. imagine if they had been able

i mean, pick the city, buffalo, new york city, denver, portland, atlanta -- wherever, they look like. that they look like they're going to war. they have shields. they have big equipment. and they do that because they want to let people protesting know who is in charge. who holds the authority. who will bend the need to whom. that's the point. explicitly. it's a psychological performance. >> that's what we saw in the streets of minneapolis and brooklyn center, a show of force with curfews and tear gas. flashbacks. and now just take all of that footage we've seen. before last summer, during last summer, and since, and now. take all of that. and just look for a moment at the utter in version of what happened on the steps of the capital in january. there was hardly any police presence at all. i mean, there are officers there, right? i've covered multiple protests in washington. there tends to be a lot of cops around. particularly on the mall, on the capital. but on january six, there was relatively speaking, no one there. they don't have the big man huge fits of equipment brought in. the

as major league baseball pulled the all-star game and their players draft from atlanta. in direct response to georgia republicans radically rolling back voting rights in that state. a lot of reporting today about how civil rights groups have advocating by this kind of bold action to stand up for voting rights. less reporting on the fact that the major league baseball players' association had been pressuring the league to make this move. players have been at the front end of the thing the whole time. last night we reported on a rush of corporations. dell, delta, coca-cola, all of them coming out and criticizing the anti-voting bills and new laws in republican controlled states. today, a group of ceos for 100 companies, they all came out along the same lines. quote, every american should have a voice in our democracy, and voting should be safe and accessible. the elections must reflect the will of the voters. our elections are not improved when lawmakers impose barriers that result in longer lines at the polls or that reduce access to secure ballot drop boxes. i'm not sure

mayor bottoms, mayor of atlanta. there are people outside the state saying we're not comfortable going in there, so major league all-star game responded not because the values were offended so much so, but players themselves said we don't want to go to a place where we feel unwelcome or a where our voice can't be heard and can't vote. we'll see how hollywood responds because that's an interesting split that we see right now and they don't want to take jobs from front line workers and the jobs will be there, just a different state will get those jobs. >> all right. let me thank both of you for being with us. jerry sonnenfeld and michael walden. my thanks to both of you. up next, my final thoughts. stay with us. ext, my final thous stay with us , it's more treatab. i'm cologuard. i'm noninvasive and detect altered dna in your stool to find 92% of colon cancers even in early stages. tell me more. it's for people 45 plus at average risk for colon cancer, not high risk. false positive and negative results may occur. ask y

that left in our people dead, at a grocery store in boulder, colorado and string of killing at spas in atlanta earlier this month. >> it's a national embarrassment. >> reporter: authorities in indianapolis are focused on brandon scott hole. police say the 19-year-old who used to work at the fedex warehouse and took his life during the attack used two assault rifles purchased legally last summer. months early police confiscated a shotgun from hole after his mother raised concerns about his mental state. indiana's red-flag law allows police reports to seize guns from people deemed a danger. but authorities say hole was not submitted to be flagged. the biden administration is urging states to adopt and reform those red flag laws. part of the number of measures biden introduced after the colorado shooting, but the actions were limited. democrats are pushing for more, including an adult weapons ban. but gun control is usually gridlocked in washington, with some republicans arguing second amendment rights need to be protected. >> every time there's a shooting, we play this ridiculous theater. >> rep

"the atlanta journal constitution" did an analysis this week and found the reason why the state vaccination rate looked better than the national numbers we are seeing is the state is using a smaller population estimate when calculate are their vaccination rate. this is something we found in our own reporting when looking at albert county, georgia, where the cdc said only around 8% of the population there is vaccinated but the state data says that number is 23%. >> priscilla, thank you. >>> let's head from georgia at the low end of vaccination rates to west virginia, with one of the highest. joining us now, republican governor jim justice. governor, you have been on top of this, ahead of this vaccine rollout since the beginning and now you have changed strategies, offering a $100 savings bond to young adults who get vaccinated. how is that working? >> stephanie, we're just in our infancy on this. i would tell everyone, there's no silver bullet here. when it really boils right down to it, what west virginia did, we got way out ahead of this thing, led the nation in every way. every single sta

and house bill 4 that's why a couple of hours from now several religious leaders here in the city of atlanta are going to be calling for a boycott against coca-cola, against delta and against a number of georgia-based companies saying that they need to do more than issue these paper statements the other thing we are seeing, steph, that's really interesting is that we are seeing black business executives come out and essentially say the same thing they're not advocating for boy cotts, i want to make that clear, but they are saying corporations have a responsibility to do more than put out statements that effort is led by ken shnut and ken frazier, former ceo of american express and current ceo of merck respectively. i spoke with both of them yesterday and they talked to me about the fact this is personal for them basically said in very strong words, companies need to directly and publicly oppose this legislation they need to bring their resources and capabilities to influence the elected officials and then added we cannot be silent, we have to speak out this really seems as though it's the ve

daniels, white house reporter for politico and author politico play book and the political reporter for atlanta journal constitution. and the man who knows georgia best, eugene, there's no elected official in the state of america who clocks corporate dollars and tracks them than mitch mcconnell, cc united. what in the world is he talking about here? >> it's interesting to watch as republicans like mitch mcconnell are fighting with big business when they've been friends of big business for a long time, right? he gave this bill that corporations would invite serious consequences. but republicans don't have the same issue of republicans getting involved in politics when it comes to donations. that level of involvement in politics passes muster for republicans and always had. what we know is donation is always a way to show value, which is what the coca-cola, and mlb and all of these, delta, are saying. and the quote is had no issue in the past. as republicans have continued to try to fight mostly cancel culture wars, that is where they're going to find themselves. they're going to find themselves

from atlanta. >> i cried tear was joy. tears of joy. >> to boston. >> this is a moment in history, right? that, you know, so many people hopefully look back on as a catalyst for good things to happen. >> to houston where george floyd grew up. >> something had to happen to make them understand that you're not above the law. >> minutes before the verdict, outside the courthouse in minneapolis, brie graham told us she couldn't even watch the trial. >> it's been a constant trauma in re-living it over and over and over again and we need to see some just toys feel like we're going somewhere. so she and others crowded around their cell phones struggling to hear the jury's decision and then -- >> guilty! [ cheering ] a wave of relief sliced through the anxiety that had been tightening for almost a year. >> former officer derek chauvin guilty on all three counts. >> i can't believe it. it feels -- there's poetry in the fact that he couldn't breath and it feels like we got a breath of fresh air and it feels like we can breathe. >> r

we, of course, don't have any evidence of that yet, he last played in the nfl back in 2015 for the atlanta falcons. >>> so, more gun control measures are coming. that is the message from jim clyburn today. this is coming as president biden unveiled a half dozen executive actions to curb gun violence this week, including limiting access to stabilizing braces and homemade guns without serial numbers. clyburn said on msnbc today that congress can pass a bipartisan bill to go further following multiple mass shootings. >> why is it so important to get a gun in three days? who's wrong with ten days? we'll wait 30 days to get something in the mail when we order it online. there's nothing about having a gun within ten days that's so important. >> and while democrats suggest ways to prevent guns from getting into the wrong hands, republican congresswoman marjorie taylor greene is giving away a free gun. she posted the raffle online saying, quote, this, my gun giveaway ends soon, be sure to enter to win it before joe biden tries to ban it. wow. >>> okay, i want to bring in nbc's scott cohn in san jo

. >> hey, yeah, so the atlanta unit community feed bank has enough food to feed 2,000 households. the cars, the families that need help, they have been lining up for hours. this doesn't even open for another 10 or 15 minutes. the line of cars just goes back and back and loops around outside of this parking lot. we spoke to one woman who said she never expected to be in a line like this, but since the pandemic hit things have been incredibly hard. this food bank alone, they're in about 29 different counties. they have decreased their food distributions by 50% every month since the pandemic began. every single month since the pandemic began nearly double the amount of families, people, individuals, children needing help and needs food like this as double this month it is more than double who said they were this way a year ago. >> no child should feel like they don't know where their next meal is coming from. food insecurity is a huge issue in this country. it is also good to see so many americans helping out. thank you for that important story. thank you for watching this really bus

it wasn't a fear or lies that motivated major league baseball to move the all-star game from atlanta. active mounting pressure to take a stand on behalf of voting rights sentiment that caught fire across corporate america, thanks to a spark from 72 black executives lead by the former head of american express and ken fraser, the ceo of merk. they called on companies to use all of their clout and resources to publicly oppose new laws that restrict the rights of black voters, including the lawed signed in georgia last week. their efforts were endorsed by nearly 200 executives from companies like microsoft, target, twitter, and uber. they signed a joint statement condemning the republican-led efforts to restrict voting say, quote, "if our government is going to work for all of us, each of us must have equal freedom to vote." joining me now is darren walker, president of the ford foundation who is among the black executives who signed a full page letter that appeared in the "new york times" calling on corporations to take a stand. thank you very much for coming back to the sunday show. >>

it's clear punishment for baseball's decision to move the summer's all-star game out of atlanta. joining our conversation is marketing and branding expert donny deutsch. michael steele, still here. donny deutsch, you proved to be right. i was skeptical that the business community had sort of the steel in the spine for a fight with republicans, but it appears as of today that they do. >> hey, guys. great to see you, nicole. professor steele. always great to be here. if you're looking at a five-year business plan, here's what they're looking at in their businesses. they're looking by the year 2021, do i look foggy? something wrong or is it just my -- >> a little bit. do you want to wipe your -- you look a little foggy. give a little wipe. >> all right, just a little wipe here, okay? >> live tv in the time of zoom. >> okay, yeah. >> all right. >> you know, they're looking at five-year business plan. >> it's better. >> nicole, i'm sorry. you have such a great show and i always come on and it goes off the rails a little bit, you know? you got serious people like professor steele on, a

go read how i became an abolitionist in the atlanta pernell and think about the fact that abolition is not just about what we replace, but it is also about how we build a world that leads with care instead of control and justice instead of punishment. it doesn't have to scare us if we allow it to excite us. we get the privilege and opportunity to build a world that works for all of us. that is how we have to address this from every single press conference to every single case to how we approach this thing at a systemic level. >> paul, i want to bring you in on following those great points that brittany just made. something our viewers should know, they were serving a search warrant to mr. brown at the time that he was shot. i found it interesting that they were clear that hey, this was not us and this was the sheriff's office doing this and what's the process in that. how would you decide what agency would execute a search warrant to people like that and how often are these serving of warrants deadly? do we even have that data. >> we don't have that data because policing in the united

legislative process and georgia earlier this year thinking that they could kind of deal with this in the atlanta way of business to kind of working with republicans under the gold dome. that didn't work. so now, you've got, and this is moving into other states. you're already seeing in texas, corporations that are being kind of more publicly proactive in condemning these kinds of laws and really just kind of rallying around the idea that if america is a democracy, this country was built on a democracy, why should the idea of voting and voting rights be partisan? if corporations of people that those people should seek out in favor of voting rights. and so i think the, it was a failed strategy to kind of get this resolved behind closed doors and so now, advocates are putting the pressure on these companies to really take up an old fight in a new day by pressuring these people before these lawmakers had a chance to pass these laws to try to really shame them into doing what can be the right thing economically, if not morally. >> errin hains, you sound like a poet, doing the wrong thing in a new way

come down on decisions like the recent one from major league baseball to move the all-star game out of atlanta in response to the georgia law? >> i think it was a courageous act for the league to take a bold stand. i think it's important for other entertainment outlets such as major league baseball to really consider how they want to be seen when they look back in history in this moment. how -- would any corporation want to be measured in terms of where are they going to stand? are they going to stand toward furthering our democracy, being a more inclusive society and allowing for all individuals to have equal protection under the law, or are they going to repeat history to try to force down our throat a reality that is inconsistent with the constitution and immoral. >> there was a lot of blowback, especially on the right, for president biden in calling these laws jim crow on steroids. is that a fair description? >> it is absolutely fair description. you know, i live in mississippi. i understand what voter suppression looks like. and what it looks like is what we're witnessing in georgia. it i
