the atlanta journal constitution described a scene that showed how personal things had gotten. quote, moments after gaveling the legislative session to an end early thursday, house speaker stood before a bank of tv cameras and admitted something that many lifelong georgians would never say publicly. he purposely cracked open a pepsi. it won't be a surprise if either company doesn't have a seat at the table when it comes to policy decisions going forward. i mean, currently the two most famous companies in georgia, does the hypocrisy of these snowflake brigade know no bounds. they lecture us for being too thin skins, on the need for free speech, so why this ridiculously hostile response to the delta ceo's freedom of speech? they're probably not going to be happy that other corporate leaders are also exercising their right to free speak, like tim cook who said today american history is the story of expanding the right to vote to all citizens and black people in particular have had to march, struggle, and even give their lives for more than a century to defend that right. gosh, i w

it happened in carroll county just outside atlanta. for a wrap up of police activity in the past few days. in the meantime president biden is meeting with bipartisan lawmakers at the white house in an effort to advance his legislative agenda that includes massive spending and major tax hikes to pay for it. white house correspondent kristin fisher shows us tonight. >> i am prepared to negotiate. >> president biden promising that the former republican lawmakers invited to the oval office are more than just window dressing in a show of bipartisanship. but it is notable that not one of the moderate republicans who try to cut a deal with the president on his first spending bill was in the room. still, the white house press secretary insists that the outreach across the aisle is genuine. >> you don't use the president of the united states if you do not want to authentically hear from the numbers attending about their ideas, about how to move forward this package and a bipartisan manner. >> republicans are frustrated by how much the package c

so you don't want to be saying, yeah, i gut the all-star game out of atlanta. i deprived you, the peanut vendor, of a day's worth of work, stuff like that. that makes sense for them to have done that. and in the long haul of history, it made sense for rob manford to delay, uh-uh, we're out of here. >> but, you know, nicole, brian kemp keeps repeating in all of his public statements, it seems, in all of his written statements, that woke radicals like stacey abrams moved the game out of atlanta. time and time again, from the beginning of this, stacey abrams has made it quite clear that she fought to keep the game in atlanta. and he knows that, and yet he continues to lie in his press releases about stacey abrams. he continues to lie in his public statements about stacey abrams. >> yeah, i mean, but this is not surprising. we know that these laws are based upon lies. these laws are based upon lies that the election was stolen, that there were illegitimate voters that led to the democrats to really sweep the state of georgia. so the least surprising thing is that n

republican lawmakers declare war on major league baseball after it moves to atlanta over georgia's voting restrictions. we begin with important testimony in the testimony of fired minneapolis police officer derek chauvin taking the stand today, the doctor who tried but could not save george floyd's lifer and the police chief who told jurors what chauvin did to floyd went against department policy, training, ethics and values. omar jimenez joins us for coverage. >> reporter: the start of week two of testimony and the current minneapolis police chief takes the stand in the trial of derek chauvin, his former officer. >> do you have a belief as to when this restraint, restraint on the ground that you viewed should have stopped? >> once mr. floyd had stopped resisting and certainly, once he was in distress and trying to verbalize that to continue to apply that level of force to a person proned out, handcuffed behind their back, that in no way, shape or form is anything that is by policy and is not part of our training and it is certainly not part of our ethics or values. >> reporter: in late m

and then over the weekend, or friday, major league baseball pulling out the all-star game from atlanta. my question is: how does this kind of pressure sit with political leaders? does it -- can it be affective in getting them to change a law? >> amy: you know, judy, this is really fascinating. it has been a fascinating development that has been going on for the last 10 or 15 years, and it doesn't really start with the georgia law. were you saw it, from example, in places like north north carolina with the bathroom bill, and gun laws, and this is especially true in the southeast, and metro regions like atlanta and dallas and houston, have become much more democratic, and in some cases, deep blue. this is where these companies are head quartered, and many of the employees come from the blue areas and live in the blue areas, and the expectations are the companies they work for reflect the values that they share. and that's, i think, a big reason why we're seeing so many of these companies in states where the company has an incredible influence, but where that influence is really relegated

a month ago, we were watching the horrible images come in from two-mass shootings in and around atlanta. seems a long time ago, doesn't it? the sad fact is, though, that mass shootings have become so common, it may, soon, be hard for one not to fall on the anniversary of another. this is a map of mass shootings in just the last month, which we're defining as four or more people shot, wounded, or killed, excluding the gunman. one other thing to note. there is only room on the map to show a little less than half. the full count, again, over just a single month since the atlanta shootings is 45 and the map is profound as it might be, doesn't do justice to the story. doesn't capture the horror. it doesn't capture the wounds, and the deaths of so many americans. the map doesn't tell the story of the five people, who were shot and wounded on march 17th in stockton, california. or the four shot in oregon, a day later. in houston, on the 20th, five shot at a nightclub. that same day in dallas, eight people shot and one killed in philadelphia. that night someone opened fire at a party, kill one

he again assailed major league baseball for moving its all-star game out of atlanta in protest to the law, a move he said was, quote, irritating one hell of a lot of republican fans. he also made a reference to delta airlines and coca-cola, both headquartered in atlanta, both which have opposed the law. >> republicans buy stock and fly on planes and drink coca-cola, too. so what i'm saying here is i think this is quite stupid to jump in the middle of a highly controversial issue particularly when they have their facts wrong. >> keeping them honest, mcconnell hasn't always felt that way. back in 2012 in a speech to the american enterprise institute, he said that all corporations, quote shore, be free to express themselves on the issues of the day. again, quoting i mean who is afraid here? let's all have a conversation he said about the future of the country. meanwhile, the former president has weighed in, as well, in a statement over the weekend he called for a boycott of delta and coke among others but in a phone interview with a conservative cable news network newsmax, he directed so

steve osunsami leading us off tonight with late news from the cdc in atlanta. >> reporter: a cdc advisory panel tonight says it needs more time and information to respond to the new concerns about the johnson & johnson vaccine. which means for now, americans should continue holding off using this brand of the covid vaccine. >> we do not have to arrive at a vote today or a recommendation today. if we need more time to think about this, we can reconvene later this week or this weekend >> reporter: a very small number of women who suffered blood clots after getting the shot caused health officials to put a hold on using the drug. health officials here worry that this potential adverse reaction looks a little too similar to what happened in europe with the astrazeneca vaccine. the astrazeneca vaccine is made using similar technology as the johnson & johnson, and in europe 19 people died. >> there are some rather strong similarities about this with regard to the time frame following vaccination. particularly importantly, the clinical syndrome of these clots together with low platelets. so ther

. >> and i think what happened in atlanta was perhaps on a more national ale, a catalyst, an explosion, because it combined something like a mass shooting with the concept of hate and that hyper sexualization of asian-american women. so, i think that's why many see it as a turning point. >> reporter: shocking as the images and stories are of the recent surge in asian hate crimes, it's not totally surprising to the people here in oakland's chinatown. california has the oldest and largest asian community, and as such, a long and tortured history of discrimination and harassment. >> knowing the yellow peril history that whenever a disease arrived from asia that asians would be met with violence and with racist policies, we knew we had to document the racism we're experiencing. >> reporter: russell jeung, professor of asian american studies at san francisco state university, started the stop asian american pacific islanders hate crimes online tracking system in march 2020, at the start of the covid crisis. >> the chinese virus... >> that's exactly when the same week president trump began t

. >> brennan: mark strassmann in atlanta. we go to the president's chief medical advisory, dr. anthony fauci. good morning to you, doctor. >> doctor: good morning, margaret. >> brennan: at this point, 40 million americans have gotten at least one dose of the vaccine. when will the infection rate come down? >> doctor: i think it will come down soon if we do two things. one is to continue the very fine rate of vaineen ion, where we're ur million peo a day. but the other wildcard in this is to be making sure until we get to that point we don't pull back on public health measures because we're having between 60,000 and 70,000 new infections per day. it would really, i think, not be prudent at all to declare victory prematurely and pull back. without a doubt, as we continue every single day to get more and more people vaccinated, that rate will go down if we don't give the virus the opportunity to essentially surge. and by giving the virus the opportunity, i mean just pulling back on public health measures. if we do those two things simultaneously, continue to vaccinate at the same

so, here's our senior national correspondent steve osunsami from the cdc in atlanta. >> reporter: any future use of the johnson & johnson covid vaccine could be decided tomorrow by a cdc advisory panel. because it's a single shot, it's become an important tool in fighting the coronavirus. >> we need to make a decision quickly i'm and really hopeful that we'll be able to use the vaccine soon. >> reporter: u.s. health officials put use of the vaccine on hold after six women developed rare blood clots after getting the shot. tomorrow, they could continue with that hold or join health officials in europe, who just days ago decided that the benefits outweigh the risks and have cleared the vaccine to be used with a safety warning. across the country, it appears fewer people are rushing to get immunized, with thousands of appointments sitting empty and some vaccination places shutting down. >> when 16 and older opened, i did expect a rush and it just never materialized. >> reporter: for the first time in weeks, the daily average of shots put into arms has fallen below 3 million doses a day.

but first, abc's steve osunsami leads us off from the cdc in atlanta. >> reporter: it's the covid vaccine that promises good protection with a single dose. an important tool for public health officials around the world, but tonight, the fda is telling everyone to hold off using the johnson & johnson vaccine. a very small number of women have come down with an extremely rarely blood clot after getting the shot. >> this is a really rare event. if you look at what we know so far, there have been six out of the 6.85 million doses, which is less than one in a million. >> reporter: all six women were between 18 and 48 years old. they got sick about 6 to 13 days after getting vaccinated. the clots formed in veins of the sinus and prevented blood from draining out of the brain. one woman died, another in critical condition. there's no evidence showing the vaccine caused the condition, and to be super clear, your chances of getting struck by lightning are nearly twice as high. one in half a million. but the fda is warning anyone who got the johnson & johnson vaccine in the last three weeks to be o

in the same week that the george floyd situation is going on, it reminds me of what happened in atlanta, where a black man got shot barely jogging through a wendy's parking lot. shot in the back and killed. and you just sit here wondering, what is wrong with these people? what do they not understand? how do we drive these bad cops out of police forces before this happens? because it's the good cops whose reputations get sullied by these bad cops. >> joe, i think things in my mind are changing so much because in that case, you mentioned, in atlanta, the local da charged an officer with murder. you didn't see that before. and you're seeing this national conversation of race and politician from the george floyd case and you see the serious charges about -- against derek chauvin. and the prosecution put on a really strong case and it's executive order national attention. i think moving forward, you need to have some legislation involving the mandatory use of body cameras. can you imagine where we would be without body camera footage today? also, i think you should have legislation about the

shod a cnn markets the indianapolis incident as the 45th mass shooting in the united states since the atlanta area spa shootings on march 16. even if you broaden the definition of mass shooting to four or more fatalities more than 25 combined by the violence project according to "the new york times." august 3rd, 2019, 23 people shod in a walmart in el paso, texas. 12 hours later, in dayton, ohio, 20 people were killed in less than 60 seconds by a gunman. october, 18, a killing in a synagogue in pittsburgh. then may 16, santa fe, new mexico. the most practical thing i've heard comes from a comedian. steven colbert. >> regulate guns like alcohol and you have to have registration and insurance for your gun. if you move to a new state you have to do the whole damn thing over again and you can't go out loaded. >> makes sense to me. i want to remind you to go to my website and answer this pessimistic survey question. it's a statement. the united states will never solve its problem of mass shootings. agree or disagree with that. >>> up ahead, today, the royal family will pay their respects to their

it's a promise he made, and in the wake of back-to-back mass shootings in boulder and the atlanta area, what is he going to do? >> the white house isn't really are revealing the extent of what we're going to see tomorrow, but we do know we are expecting executive orders to come from president biden on guns tomorrow. the white house has only said we'll hear more from him on this. this is something that's imminent, the white house has been talking about ever since the shootings in georgia and in colorado. so, the question really is not just whether or not he's going to actually put an executive order forward, but how permanent can it be. the fear there and threat there is they can be undone by the next president and a different party should they so chose. that's going to be the scope we're looking at here. how far do these executive orders go, what do they do when it comes to strengthening background checks, things of that nature we know president biden has been interested in, and does he still try to pursue that legislative route he said is important to him but not as important as infra

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

suspect who stomped on an asian woman, i don't hear the outcry of white supremacy and talked about in atlanta. that's a hate crime. they should be prosecuting his t man. but you hear crickets from the white house and aoc because his skin color doesn't fit their playbook. i want to make a comment regarding the george floyd case. gregg jarrett is correct. the reason why the prosecutor has to put that witness on, the girlfriend is because if they don't the defense is going to and regardless of everything gregg said, which i agree. the medical experts have not opined. it's going to be discussed later on. >> sean: all right. let me go to gregg, get your thoughts on the guy on the commission. cop killer. he is on the commission. killer of his mother, he's walking the streets and going after a 65-year-old lady. >> putting a cop killer on that board, it's like putting el chapo in charge of drug policy. it's outrageous. it's an insult to every cop. it's an insult to the family of robert walsh, the dead police officer, executed by this guy at point-blank range. >> sean: leo 2.0 to rail. gregg jarrett,

week president biden said he supports moving this year's a major league baseball all-star game out of atlanta in response to the law. joining me now, "wall street journal" columnist kim strassel, editorial board member kyle peterson and dan henninger. so, kyle, you've followed this law from the very beginning. is it voter suppression? >> well, there's a lot in the law, but i would say, no, not really. so something that joe biden keeps saying, he's said it two or three times now, is that they're closing polling places at 5 p.m. just when working people are getting off. that's just not true. the law has some mandatory minimum hours for early voting, 9-5. analysts who have looked at this are saying, essentially, that means places that are shorter than that, that offer less than that right now are going to have to expand, but counties can also offer voting from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. which is plenty for these metropolitan areas. so that's just one example of something that's in the law that is an expansion of voting and is being cast completely the opposite way. paul: well, if i'm not mistaken, this ac

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

biggest blowback came from major league baseball which announced that it's pulling its all-star game from atlanta in july. here was the reaction from georgia governor brian kemp. >> this is unbelievable, really, unfortunate today obviously that major league baseball has folded up and caved to the canceled culture and a bunch of liberal -- >> chris: doug, a number of red states, were moving to restrict voting laws. will the blowback from major corporations -- we saw coca-cola and delta and major league baseball did in georgia, in texas where there's also a move to restrict, put new restrictions on voting you're seeing pushback from american airlines and dell computers. is that, you think, going to stop the move to reform voting? >> no, it looks like a lot of republicans will double down and if you're brian kemp, you were worried before this week for being primaried because you were in the wrong side of donald trump a couple of times. one to have unintended consequences politically by major league baseball essentially going to the left of stacey abrams has sured up brian kemp from a primary somethi

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
