. >> i think in what happened since the atlanta killing is the conversation that has been much broader and much more outspoken. i'm interested in your thoughts about whether you think that there is change going on right now. generationally as to whether you think there is a change going on. >> there is undoubtedly a change going on right now. younger asian american pacific islanders, i have noted, feel they are entitled to the constitutional rights afforded to all americans. there has been a theme of first-generation immigrants feeling like they need to assimilate and they can't speak up because they just want to survive in a new country, in a new world. that generational split has helped not only -- held not only because of people speaking up but social media, democratizing access to resources and the idea that we are not alone. sara: i guess there has been a lot of conversation about hate crimes and how we define that. i wanted to turn to that, because you have a lot of experience with legislation and passing laws to help victims of sexual assault. i'm interested in your thoughts abo

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

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.

my son works in baseball, so i pay a lot of attention to the atlanta braves, which is who he works for. >> that is exciting because the fans are being allowed back in the ballparks. two different rules, but in oakland they are going to do about 26% capacity. wearing masks except when eating and drinking. seated in pods. the giants fans have to prove they are covid negative. what are your thoughts? under those rules do you think people should feel safe to go back? >> yes. i think that feels very safe. particularly because the bay area is prevalent is so low but will those rules be good enough if we had a 10% positivity rate? maybe not, by the prevalence of the virus because people has done such a good job being careful in getting vaccinated. the prevalence in the bay area is very low. we not outdoors is safe. decreasing the density is a smart thing to do until we know for sure that things are not going to have an uptick and more people are vaccinated. the real question will be as we go forward the issue of if you are going to need to demonstrate your vaccinated. you will see more and mo

what's your view of mlb pulling the all-star game from atlanta? >> i think that is the kind of thing to expect to see when you actually create legislation that restricts or reduces the potential for people to vote opposed to expanding. this -- you know, the governor said, also, there were no issues with the election on january 5th or in november when the presidential election took place. but all of a sudden we have to put restrictions in place that limit the ability for people to vote and then you may even say if people happen to give individuals water for standing in line for long periods of time that that's illegal. there's something draconian and seriously wrong with what we are seeing. >> yeah. i think there's a lot that agree with that and including two black executives who called on companies to directly oppose the new georgia laws and some americans like american airlines, dell, delta, coca-cola put out statements for the first time i might add. do you think that public pressure played a role here. how much does it help after the law has pa

the atlanta mayor is also speaking out against the law today. we've got both aspects covered by nbc's deepa who's covering from atlanta. let's talk about what we heard from mayor keisha lance bottoms who also spoke about this earlier today. >> reporter: you're hearing from democratic and republican leaders about this very kofrl voting bill that was passed by the governor just a little over a week ago, one that really does restrict voting measures in this state, making it really difficult, particularly in the suburbs of this atlanta region, right, communities of color, largely black voters, asian voters, folks who are, you know, turning out in record numbers in this last election like we saw, especially in that special election earlier this year. now harder, essentially, to cast a ballot going forward, and what you're seeing is democratic lawmakers speaking out and kind of saying, you know, this is going to have financial impacts for the state as well and that's something we're already seeing with major league baseball pulling its all-star game o

just imagine taking a high-speed train chicago to atlanta. most americans wouldn't imagine doing that trip by rail and that's less than beijing and shanghai and they built the most popular high-speed rail line in the world. but just not chicago and atlanta but nashville, indianapolis, all these cities in between that have been left out of this next generation economy. that's why high-speed rail is so significant. yes, i'll be fighting for more but we'll take what we can get and be a start. >> i got to say having traveled orr in europe that's a wonderful high-speed rail from city to city and see the country that way so i applaud those efforts. let's talk about what senator mcconnell is saying about the plan generally. >> as much as we would like to address infrastructure, it is not going to get sun port from our side because i think what the economy -- the last thing the economy needs right now is a big whopping tax increase on all the productive sections of our economy. >> with that no support approach from republicans is this plan going to h

shame on the atlanta braves for the ridiculous statement they released. good luck to other teams who don't have active voter suppression or general people oppression laws in place. i was a member of the state legislature a long time ago. the reality is republican legislators try to call themselves fundamentally pro business, but look here, business ain't coming to your state if you're oppressing people and suppressing people's right to vote. business is not coming in the face of human oppression. that needs to be the new standard going forward. i hope these deeply red legislatures realize we can't detach economic behavior from the social construct. >> guys, appreciate you so much, good seeing you. >>> if you want evidence that america's covid-19 battle is far from over, one state is exhibit "a" in this story. ♪ for decades, most bladder leak pads were similar. until always discreet changed that. by inventing a revolutionary pad, that's incredibly thin. because it protects differently. with two rapiddry layers that overlap, where you need it most. for st

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 wnt 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 won

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

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

today the mlb announced it's moving the all star game from atlanta. where do you stand on this? do you welcome that move? >> listen, our actions have consequence. we've said for months now that voter suppression is bad for business. we said it directly to corporations and what you're seeing now is american voters who are voting with their dollars, that we've not seen a retraction, a retrenchment, we've seen republican legislatures across the country double down, that there are -- there's been a 43% increase in the number of anti-voting bills in legislatures across the country. i maintain that this is one of, if not the central organizing issue for the gop in this moment. the white lash that we are living through, that we are experiencing as a result of elevated voter participation has been severe, and it's been widespread, and that's why we're suing, and that's why we're calling on congress to pass hr 1 and hr 4 because fighting this piecemeal state by state by state is inefficient -- >> exactly. >> -- and we don't have time. there are municipal elections that are coming up this

mlb announcing the game is moving from atlanta to denver due to georgia passing the new voter access law. republicans responded with the announcement for the extended line that has been a central hallmark of modern conservative politics. >> do you believe major league baseball will live to regret this decision? >> yeah. i think they will. the people here and all over the country have figured it out. they are outraged and sick and tired of the cancel culture. >> that is brian kemp who was pushing the lie that georgia's voter suppression law is designed to make it easier to vote and everyone is trying to cancel georgia i guess. the republican party as we said is radicalizing against democracy. they lost an election that had the highest turn out in recent memory and now they set themselves to make it harder to vote in the hopes, possibly misguided, that it will then help them win. this is not happening in a back room. we watched it. we watched them prop gate the big lie that the election was rigged leading to the violent insurrection that killed a police officer. now republicans are usi

it was during that battle where an officer was shot twice and transported to an atlanta hospital. one of the suspects is believed to have been killed and the other is in custody. the georgia bureau of investigation is taking the lead. expecting a statement later today as well as the photo of the suspect who is in police custody, also reaching out to atlanta hospitals to see if there is an update the condition. john? >> thank you. >> sandra: here in new york and officer is fighting for his life after a stabbing. police say the cop was responding to a drunk driver who crashed his car. he reportedly became confrontational and fought back with police. the officer was stabbed in the leg, other officers and a couple of people were able to subdue the driver. >> john: there is more disturbing video, virginia state police say there watching a criminal investigation after video showed two officers drawing their guns and pepper spraying and african-american army officer during a traffic stop. >> get out of the car! get out of the car! obey it. >> get out! >> john: the army officer you see is

where joe biden and democrats did best was in the affluent suburbs, the counties around places like atlanta and philadelphia, a lot of voters who went for democrats and they are going to get hit if these tax increases go through for individuals among 400,000 families making $550,000, so if the president keeps saying you're not going to be affected, only rich people will be affected, a lot of those people are democrats. in a sense, joe biden is making a trade among things like child care and community colleges and things like that, he calls it a blue-collar blueprint to build america so he is trying to win back some of those trump voters, blue-collar voters but in the effort to get them, he may be turning off some of the more affluent voters who went democrat in 2020. >> john: then there's also the question of whether or not all of this spending and the taxes that would be needed to offset the spending are actually going to hurt the economy, "forbes" magazine saying "biden's tax plan would be devastating for democrats and the economic recovery, a doubling of the capital gains levy would shri

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

the league pulled its all star game out of atlanta protesting the state's new resouth africa difference voting law. and now pressure is building on major companies to stop similar efforts in texas, arizona and beyond. georgia's governor is doubling down on a law that he actually argues with a straight face is about expanding ballot access. >> secure accessible fair elections are worth the threat, they are worth the boycott and the lawsuit. i want to be clear, i will not be backing down from this fight. and neither are the people who are here with me today. >> governor kemp failed to mention the fact that georgia republicans passed this law after spreading lies about unfounded voter fraud in the 2020 election nor the fact that the state gop pushed restrictive voting bills after voters turned the state blue. as for president biden, the white house released a statement today saying that he supports the move from mlb to move the all-star game out of georgia. so where does the pressure campaign go from here? joining us now, bishop jackson who is leading the movement to hold companies respons

tia mitch, washington correspondent for "the atlanta journal constitution." laura, here is how senator bernie sanders described biden's new information plan this morning. take a listen. >> roads and bridges and tunnels are infrastructure. but i think many of us see a crisis in human infrastructure, when a working class family can't find good quality, affordable childcare, that's human infrastructure. >> lauren, you've reported on this new plan. how is biden expanding what has traditionally been thought of as infrastructure with this plan? >> so they put it into two categories. you've got traditional infrastructure, as they've said, roads, bridges. these are aspects that do need fixing. we are ranked 13th in the world for infrastructure. so they are really making the case for physical infrastructure. but there's also human infrastructure, which gets at our health care system, our system of caring for disabled and elderly americans, our schools, aspects that are very, very important to our economy, democrats will argue, and to the people who -- you know, to the

, two police officers were shot and wounded earlier this morning, during a high-speed chase west of atlanta. all of this, of course, is happening with the twin cities, already, on edge, as the prosecution continues to make its case against a former-minneapolis police officer, in the killing of george floyd. president biden spoke to the moment, and the mood, this afternoon. >> are you concerned things could be on a razor's edge, sir? >> i'm not going to speculate, now. i'm -- i'm hopeful that there'll be a -- a verdict and an outcome, that will be supported by the vast majority of the people in the region. and that's my expectation. >> shortly before airtime, the president tweeted this message. quote, today i am thinking about daunte wright and his family. and the pain, anger, and trauma that black-america experiences every day. while we await a full investigation, we know what we need to do to move forward. rebuild trust to ensure accountability, so no one is above the law. cnn's adrienne broaddus is in brooklyn center, minnesota, for us tonight. so, adrienne, daunte wright's death was rule

police departments in atlanta, chicago, and washington, also, taking precautions. testimony ended today in court. closing arguments will be heard, on monday. tension, as you can see from those images and as you might imagine, is running high. i have more now, from sara sidner. >> i will invoke my fifth-amendment privilege today. >> reporter: for the first time since the start of the trial, former-minneapolis police officer, derek chauvin. he chose not to take the stand as a witness in his own defense, leading the defense to rest its case. >> your honor, at this time, the defense rests. >> reporter: the prosecution then brought back its star-medical witness to refute the idea, brought up by yesterday's defense expert. >> it is an extremely toxic gas. >> reporter: that exhaust from the squad car's tailpipe, possibly, led to carbon-monoxide poisoning of george floyd. >> do you agree with that proposition, that's highlighted there? >> no, i do not. it's simply wrong. >> reporter: just before that, the prosecution attempted to introduce new-lab result evidence about car

since atlanta spa killings on march 15, there have been 50 mass shootings in the united states according to analysis according to the gun violence, a kif, local media and police reports. you've long pushed for gun control legislation. we spoke in mid-march. you said because you've failed in the past, that doesn't mean one should not continue and try to if it for change. do you still have optimism tonight? >> i do. listen, the voters did their part. they put in charge of congress majorities that support universal background checks. they put a president in the white house who wants to sign that bill. now it's up to us to deliver. 2013 now, eight years ago, we lost a vote on background checks. and since then, we've been building up political power in the anti-gun violence movement. today we are stronger than the gun lobby. and i think that's part of the reason why i am having, i think, real substantive discussions with several republicans about how we can bring a bill to the senate floor in the next month or two that will dramatically expand the number of gun sales that have to be submitted
