in my opinion, this is the human rights issue in the united states of america. we need to pass the george floyd justice in policing act, put it on president biden's desk, because that will be the first step to transforming policing. we need to take a hard look at ourselves in this country in the mirror, to say, why is it that over 100 people have died at the hands of police in the matter of a year? we saw the videotape. we understand the egregious murder. but what about the ones that were not taped on a cell phone? so today i am relieved. today i exhale. but today just marks the beginning of a new phase of a long struggle to ring justice -- struggled to bring justice in america. thank you. >> thank you. at this time, we would like to ask speaker nancy pelosi to make remarks. speaker pelosi: thank you, madam chair. there are many owners that are afforded to a member of congress, and certainly many more to a speaker of the house. but nothing surpasses the honor of being with the black caucus today, when we have seen a step in the right direction for justice done.

so, clearly, we have to do something to transform policing in the united states. i have been watching this and have been involved in this issue for decades, and it's terrible that it took the world witnessing the torture and murder of an individual to bring about this type of change. but i do feel like we're on the cusp of doing that. so i am hopeful today. i don't know what i would have done if the verdict turned out wrong, but it didn't. i hope we can get over the finish line and put a bill on president biden's desk. >> i want to ask about the focus in the bill. the bill has a lot of different components. there is a focus on police officers getting training around things like implicit bias. one of the things that i found just disheartening about watching the chauvin trial was the focus over the course of the trial on just how much training he had had, how many hundreds of hours of training that he had had, and of course that played a role in the decision by the jury to decide whether or not he was following his training when he killed mr. floyd. but i wonder if

. >> oh, prior to coming to the county knock 1998 do 2002 i was major on active duty in the united states air force. served as a forensic pathologist for the department of defense. our unit was known as the armed forces medical examiner and at that time we were headquartered the washington, dc area. >> are you board-certified in any areas. >> i am. >> which ones. >> i am board-certified in an tommic and clinical pathology and i hold subappreciatety next forensic pathology. >> tell us what the national association of medical examiner is is. >> yes. the national association of medical examiners is the professional organization for people who do what i do for a living. i want to say we have 800 o. 900 memberes, many are fellows like me, meaning fully board-certified forensic pathologist. we have other categories for support personnel in the profession. >> you are former president of the national association of medical examiners. >> yes. >> in fact, at least as of to date you're the youngest president -- were the youngest president ever to hold that position with the name. >> i don't actually

god bless the united states of america. >> we are back live in the rotunda. as we hear from members of congress so had to this field tonight? >> and this is unique. with a lot of energy with the safety protocols but there wasn't quite that energy that you would expect. it was a little different. >> but yet the speech man just over an hour. talking about the proposals and how to pay for including corporate tax increase. >> yes. this worries me. he inherited a very strong government and life-saving vaccines. my worry the tax increases that he identify tonight will hurt working families. i'm worried it will drive us jobs overseas. i counted 5 million jobs lost. i think the number may grow bigger. >> he said under $400,000 would not have an increase in pointed to corporations. >> that is misleading. while you will not be taxed you will still be hurt. corporations collect taxes they don't pay them. the customers and higher prices. families counting on retirement get hurt. america's tax rate is worse than china and on par with syria i would worry we will see jobs l

states, so is there any additional capacity for them to move to in the united states and what you kind of expect for that vaccine than any impact on their ability to meet their goal considering they need that? >> feel free to add if there's anything you'd like to add. first of all, it is important to mention any time to discuss this issue of this plan that all of the vaccines are available in the u.s. and authorized by the fda and none of it came out but it's very important that we make sure that americans are insured that we have a safe and effective backs and that no vaccine would be anything from the health and human services department, johnson & johnson is taking complete control of the plant in question and as this was indicated they did a couple of important decisions in one is that they are bringing in a senior-level expertise of management and the second is that a are going to make this the only vaccine to eliminate cross-contamination and we here applaud both of the moves and it's important for them to know that steps have been taken. i'd also like to point out that this is a

nelson: are you a licensed physician in the united states? >> sim. nelson: you were educated in south africa but also the united states. are there differences between the degrees? >> there are different letters after your name. if you go to the system derived from the old british examination process, you and up them chb that basically meaner you have two bachelors degrees. a bachelor of medicine and bachelor of surgery at six year program not a four-year program like in the united states. working as a physician in the united states you have to go through process run byy the educational commission for foreign graduates. they make an assessment of the university went to meets the appropriate standards. these are universities approved by the worldld health organization to meet certain standards. once you have been approved and your university is, recognized, then you go through a set of board examinations that are very similar to all us graduates graduating from us university. so we go through exactly the same process foron evaluation. then you can appl

death certificates are relatively standard in the united states most of what's on them is largely dictated by the centers for disease control they vary a little bit in appearance from state to state but the core elements are pretty much the same in every jurisdiction most of what's on a death certificate is actually filled in by family members in the funeral director so you know what's the dizziness full name where were they born what are the names of their parents did they ever serve in the armed forces there's all kinds of things that are captured. the medical examiner's primary role again as i mentioned is the cause of death the manner of death and the how injury occurred most death certificates in the united states are actually filled out by clinicians meaning your primary care doctor that you see that person fills out death certificates for their patients who die of routine natural conditions medical examiners get involved when the death appears to be from natural causes in practice we should be the only people that certify deaths or the man or is ever anything other than natural. so

it is now my great honor to introduce the president of the united states, joe biden. president biden: today a jury found derek chauvin guilty on all counts in the murder of george floyd last may. it was a murder in the full light of day, and it ripped the blinders off for the whole world to see the systemic racism the vice president just referred to. the systemic racism is a stain on our nation's sole. the knee on the neck of justice for black americans. profound fear and trauma, the pain, exhaustion, that black and brown americans experience every single day. the murder of george floyd launched a summer of protest we had not seen since the 1960's. protest that unified people of every race and generation, with peace and with purpose to say enough. enough. enough with the senseless killings. two days is a step forward. i just spoke with the governor of minnesota who thanked me for the close work with his team, i also spoke with -- nothing can ever bring their brother or father back. but, this can be a giant step forward in the march toward justice in america. this is m

i do not believe there is systemic racism and law enforcement in the united states. and i think if you go behind the perceptions, if you go behind that hyperbole, you will see that is not the case. law enforcement officers every day go into communities that the people complaining about them would not go into on a bet with their windows rolled up and their doors locked. so why then is the rate of blac people being killed by the police so much higher than the rate of white people being killed by police? it's not. the doj figures are talking about nearly 30% of those killed by the police being black — and they're13% of the population in the us. and what was happening in those interactions when the individuals were shot? overwhelmingly, when people are shot by the police, they are engaged in activities of either assaulting the police, assaulting another person, or committing a crime. you just opened my car door — so you're gonna threaten to drag me out of my own car? get out of the car! "give us proof that we're systemically racist" is still the refrain. wow. get out

i'm now the 4th united states president to preside over american troop presence in afghanistan 2 republicans 2 democrats i will not pass this responsibility on to a 5th we want to have to stand because of a horrific attack that happened 20 years ago that cannot explain why we should remain there in 2021. a former us police officer has been arrested and charged with manslaughter over the death of an unarmed black man one to write was fatally shot during a routine traffic stop on sunday the 20 year old stephanie reignited protests in minneapolis happening in the same city of course as george floyd's death and the ongoing trial kimberly porter who resigned after 20 years on the force faces up to 10 years in prison. meanwhile at the trial over george floyd's death a retired forensic pathologist says he died as a result of preexisting heart disease the fence witness dr david fowler says he believes that floyd's condition was made worse is he inhaled fumes from a police car his findings contradict prosecution witnesses they say that floyd was starved of oxygen by having former police officer derek

host: a social media follower has a question about the number of firearms in the united states. they want to know whether the number of firearms has complicated law enforcement. i always felt the cops felt the brunt of this. the number of guns in the country does that make law enforcement harder? guest: i am going to tell you yes, particularly where it concerns the assault weapons. in my experienced consideration there is no need for an ordinary citizen to have an ak-47 or m -15. even the designer of those guns did not intend that they be used by the general public. cops ended up back in the mid-to late 70's going from revolvers to semi automatics because of the proliferation of high caliber handguns in the community. i have to go along with that idea. the overwhelming number of weapons in the community has made our jobs harder. host: let's talk to rob from missouri, good morning. caller: good morning. how are you? i am upset about a lot of things considering george floyd, breonna taylor and others, we should direct our attention into solutions. police officers should be trained

now, it is my great honor to introduce the president of the united states, joe biden. president biden: today, a jury in minnesota found former minneapolis police officer derek chauvin guilty on all counts for the murder of george floyd last may. it was a murder in the full light of day, and it ripped the blinders off for the whole world to see the systemic racism the vice president just for -- just referred to, systemic racism that is a stain on our nation's sole, the knee on the neck of justice for black americans, profound fear and trauma, the pain and exhaustion that black americans experience everything the day. the murder of george floyd launched a summer of protest we hadn't seen since the civil rights era of the 1960's, protest that unified people of every generation, for a single purpose, to say enough. enough is enough. enough of these senseless killings. today's verdict is a step forward. i just spoke to the governor of minnesota, who thanked me for the close work with his team. i also spoke with george floyd's family again, a remarkable family of extraordina

the case that triggered protest in the united states and around the world. for almost nine and a half minutes, he knelt on the neck of george floyd in the city of minneapolis. it took about 10 hours for the jury to convict him on all three charges. derek chauvin is due to be sentenced in two months and faces up to 40 years in prison. >> we the jury in the above intended matter is to count one, second -- unintended second degree murder welcoming a felony find the defendant guilty of this verct agreed to on this 20th day of april, 2021, signed jury for person, juror number 19. second caption, verdict count two, we the jury in the above entitled matter as to count two, third-degree murder perpetrating and imminently dangerous act find a defendant guilty, this verdict agreed to this 20th day of april, 20 21, at 1:45 p.m., signed by jury or person, juror number 19. same caption, verdict count three, we jury in the above entitled matter as to count three, secondary manslaughter, culpable negligence creating unreasonable risk, find the defendant guilty. >> george f

we got that done when i was a united states senator. it was not easy going against the gun lobby but it saved lives. we should also eliminate gun manufacturers from the immunity they received from congress. [applause] again, the people here who are so knowledgeable, what people do not realize -- the only industry in america, a billion-dollar industry that cannot be sued has exempt from being sued, are gun manufacturers. imagine how different things would be if that had been available to tobacco companies who knew and lied about the danger cancer -- of cancer. imagine where we would be. this is the only thing exempt from being sued. i have a list, if i could get one of these it would be that one. they would be a come to the lord moment for these folks quickly but they are not. they are exempt. i know the conversation about guns in this country can be a difficult one. but even here, there is much more common ground than anyone would believe. much more common ground. everything being proposed today is totally consistent with the second ame

this is the united states of america for god's sake. building the infrastructure of tomorrow requires investments today. i am open to ideas about how to pay for this plan with one exception. i will not impose any tax increases on anyone making less than $400,000 a year. if others have ideas out there on how to pay for this investment without violating that rule, they should come forward. there are all kinds of opportunities. there are tax breaks i find difficult to explain. wealthy deductions, $360 billion, a top rate of 39%, which it used to be for years, all the way to the bush administration almost a quarter , of a trillion dollars. corporate minimum tax and the fossil fuel giveaways, $40 billion, etc. i could go on. let me tell you what i proposed to do. we are going to raise the corporate tax rate. it was 35% for the longest time, which was too high. barack and i thought it was too high. we agreed five years ago it should come down somewhat, but the previous administration reduced it down to 21%. what i am proposing is that we meet

we had gone into a lot of that is united states. there is not currently significant problems with unsatisfied credit demand from creditworthy are worse but have there have been the excess demand with other might have been one of the reasons for that is the very significant amount of fiscal stimulus that has been put into the economy and has the banking sector has to pull through more about in terms of providing that support. we might have run into the same issues here so i don't know what the answer to that is and we are wrestling with that but that is more color around counter-cyclical capitol buffer is it really going to be -- >> thank you for explaining that. we have 10 minutes left so we aren't going quite to a lightning round but there so many topics who want your views on. one thing from this crisis a year ago was that the fed never had a swap line with other international banks and in my view it was a huge success in preventing old a liquidity problem with a high impact of the covid pandemic. is there any feeling that you hav

in the united states army. i thought those days were behind me, but i received a call from keith ellison, and he gave me the opportunity to step back into public service, something that is so important to me, something i cherish. i would encourage anyone, if you get a call like that as an attorney, it is a privileged life, a noble profession, and if somebody calls you and asks for help, don't overthink it, just do it. because as i have found in my career, you got a lot more than you give. i am honored to have stood with the floyd family, to have stood with the state of minnesota as we go through this painful process together. and it has been my privilege to practice with this incredible, gifted trial team. so i stand here today in gratitude. i am thankful. i want to thank the jury for their service, for doing what was right and decent and correct, and speaking the truth and finding the right verdict in this case. >> i am jerry blackwell. my comments are going to be brief. thank you to all the selfless servants

not just for this state. this is big for the unit states. brent: we also had elected official speaking publicly about this trial. even the u.s. president weighed in on it today. here is what he said after a phone call with george floyd's family. take a listen. >> they are a good family and they are calling for peace and tranquility no matter what that verdict is. praying the verdict is the right verdict. i think it is overwhelming in my view. the jury is sequestered now. brent: the u. president saying and i am quoting here that he is praying for the right verdict. how are those words going down across the united states? >> depends on who you ask. if you ask republicans in washington, they are crying foul and saying the president should have never said anything like this. not making any statement like this. does not matter if the jury was sequestered or not. others say, democrats say a rich statement coming from the republicans as they let anything go. former donald president -- former president donald trump said. if he wanted to say somethin

when you consider that virtually every forensic pathologist in the united states has probably had an officer involved deathlike this, how did they -- it utterly baffles me which i kept saying canada. because i think, i don't know what's different but -- >> objection, nonresponsive. >> so the -- let me ask you in terms of hypoxia. can you again to find hypoxia? >> low oxygen. >> and which organ is more sensitive to the lack of oxygen, the brain -- >> the brain. >> the brain is the most, it needs the most oxygen, right? >> yes. >> that is because it is doing millions of things simultaneously, right? agreed? >> yes. i'm sure there's lots of reasons metabolically why. >> i think a previous witness testified that it takes about 20% of bodies oxygen supply to function, right? >> that sounds about right. >> but hart also needs oxygen, right? >> yes. >> so in terms of the professional standards for determining asphyxia death, is it true that you have to first exclude all natural and nonnatural cases or causes of death? >> well, you can have natural and nonnatural causes of low oxygen. i'm so

nearly 40% of all adults in the united states cover at least one dose of the vaccine and more than one in five adults are not fully vaccinated. it's truly inspiring for me to see many americans embracing vaccination. we know the massive scale of vaccination is the key to protecting the american people and inching us closer. as more people get vaccinated, cdc has the responsibly to provide you science -based recommendations on opportunities to resume. early march, cdc issued initial guidance on what activities are safer for fully vaccinated people. remember, fully vaccinated is defined as two weeks after receiving a single dose of vaccine two weeks after receiving the second dose of the two dose vaccine. releasing guidance early march, i emphasize science and evidence were rapidly evolving and we will update guidance new evidence emerging. we have several newly released studies documenting the real world effectiveness of covid-19 vaccines. today we are releasing an update for fully vaccinated people. specifically, you guidance travel, we state fully vaccinated people can resume travel a

in the african-american or in the black community anywhere in the united states in all the metropolitan areas l.a. new york chicago washington d.c. miami atlanta minneapolis of course anybody or not many people who would say this was not a great day a day they were longing for a day which brought them justice and joy because of the verdicts issued by the jury within 10 hours spread over 2 days 4 hours in the 1st day 6 hours in the last in the 2nd day and there was the verdict then off and on all counts guilty for derek showing for the murder of george floyd right here right behind me there's where this is happened that's why this place is called george floyd square and claimed by this community by the way they said this was a normal intersection here this will never be a normal intersection again now this was a politically charged trial obviously a what's the reaction from the biden administration. well the president addressed the nation actually held a speech and he said a very significant thing he says like with all the joy today and the right people have the right to be happy about.

in minneapolis and the united states as we bring you continuing coverage of day 4 of the trial of derek shows and the police officer charged with murdering george floyd in minneapolis we have been hearing in the past hour rule so from george floyd's girlfriend courtney ross and gave an emotional testimony about the months leading up to his death. well ross was his partner of 3 years and described how both she and floyd became addicted to prescription painkillers both for in a r r. r story it's it's a classic story of. how many people get addicted to opioids we both suffer from chronic pain. mine was in my neck and his was in his back. we both had prescriptions. but. after prescriptions. for philip and. we believe we got addicted and and tried really hard to. break that addiction many times so that was a large focus of her testimony was about drug usage but. did also go on to describe how george ford would take care of itself. like to work out every day he let it wait. there are beyond anything that led to everything the day he did. that a push to pull the this would only of house. if he

big day for minneapolis minnesota for the state here and big day for the entire united states because all eyes are on the exactly that what you said the closing arguments and then the jury deliberations which will start right after today in the. trial so this is all about is remember this is the last time the jurors will hear from prosecution or the defense team meaning this is the time that they have to connect the dots so to speak prosecution will reiterate everything and connect to everything in their closing argument they have brought forward in the last 2 weeks they brought 38 witnesses and experts to the stand and now they're making their points again in summary so to speak the defense will try the same thing we heard in the piece prosecution focused on saying this was unnecessary measures taken by. which caused the death of george floyd and the as pointed out in the piece we saw and by you and the defense will try now in conclusion again to poke holes into this and say no this was not the only cause at least not the only cause if at all the cause because mr floyd had some drugs

and after that i moved to a roll in their data base team unit so i did convicted offender samples from a variety of states who contracted with that lab. >> so at some point did you leave that lab obviously and where did you go. >> yes. and i started in 2009, october 2009 i started at the dca. >> what job did you take their pretty. >> i was hired on as a scientist in the biology section. >> what is a biology section do pretty. >> the biology section does dna testing and also body fluid identification which is the identification of bodily fluid relevant to a case and including sample collections from a variety of items of evidence that come into the lab. >> we did you start to do that pretty. >> i was hired in october of 2009. >> and he did that job for the dca, whether specific things that they made you go through because you were hired by the dca. >> yes. so the dna training program takes about a year to complete. it starts with typically people start with the medication portion first, will get trained and that and go on to dna testing. so all of that training includes watching other s

the united states and that is the nature of the outrage here so. if you will indulge me in addition to having more of my hat as a scholar and harvard law professor and so forth i can also speak to you as an african-american man who grew up in the united states it is a feeling of texas to tea that you can't drive you can't go to the store you can't eat skid old you can't wear a hoodie you can't have an outstanding parking ticket you can't have an. fire plate without facing the death penalty and that is a grotesque set of affairs a grotesque status quo that that min and women of color continue to experience look there are laws about all of these things for which these folks allegedly war stop none of them include the death penalty right that's why we have a structural divide in the united states police officers arrest in judge and jury spics the punishment but what we have here it seems like the wild wild west with police officers just killing people over 'd an alleged rape $20.00 bill or packet of cigarettes that has to stop and that's why people ar

that will not happen at the federal level in the united states but city by city and town by town. what we hope is that we get some models for local leadership that can scale up local leadership that can scale up because unfortunately in the united states, it can�*t be the stroke of a pen that fixes this. it is going to be all of us together to make that happen. i us together to make that ha en. , ., us together to make that happen-— us together to make that hauen. , . �* happen. i see, and when you're talking about models that can l talking about models that can scale up. is about changing the culture of policing, changing the training to make it more uniform and things like that? i been hearing a lot about that as well but i think there is something more fundamental going on. you can change the culture and the training and regulate the heck out of policing and you�*re still escalating almost every situation where you are introducing a badge and a gun that were not before. if i used a fake $20 bill and all of a sudden somebody with a gun shows up, that is a way more deadly

when i see your hands -- when i say your hands, i mean the people of the united states. george floyd mattered. he was loved by his family and friends. his death shocked the conscience of our community, our country, the whole world. he was loved by his family and friends, but that isn't why he mattered. he mattered because he was a human being. and there is no way we can turn away from that reality. the people who stopped and raised their voices on may 25, 2020, were a bouquet of humanity, a phrase i stole from my friend jerry blackwell, a bouquet of humanity -- old, young, men and women, black-and-white, a man from the neighborhood just walking to get a ring, -- a drink, a child going to buy a snack with her cousin, an off-duty firefighter on her way to a community garden -- brave young women, teenagers, who pressed record on their cell phones. why did they stop? they didn't know george floyd. they didn't know he had beautiful family. they didn't know he had been a great athlete and they didn't know that he was a proud father or that he had people in his life who loved h

manners of death are unique, virtually unique to the united states of america. these were put on the death certificate by the center for disease control in order to gather information as to how americans died or die for epidemiological purposes and to study and try and prevent deaths. they are not meant to usurp any kind of legal process. and, in fact, in many circumstances, regardless of what the medical examiner puts on a death certificate in the way of a manner, the legal system can and will fact a completely independent and different format. >> now, again, we discussed a little bit about the cdc death certificates, the instructions. is this the guideline by the cdc? >> yes. to enter all diseases or conditions contributing to the death that were not reported in the chain of events. >> in the first part, yes. >> now, back to -- take this down for a moment, your honor. so with respect to dr. baker's autopsy, i want to talk a little bit about the cardiopulmonary arrest that he references. what are the findings that were relevant to your analysis in this particul

we need that repeated across the united states. we need tr sergeants and lieutenants. captains and majors. deputies and chiefs to be engaged and know what the officers are doing. get out the office get on the street and go to the hot calls. go to the calls where things could go bad and see how your officers perform. see what your training is. who's doing the training? it's so much more that can be done. but the keyword is accountability. and that's from the bottom to the top. we have to stress accountability for police. >> to the push back of you got it. the system worked. you got it. a triple conviction. we have never seen it before. he didn't everyone use a weapon and you got a conviction. this is it. you should be happy. sit down. >> this case is such an aberration. such a blatant violation of anything related to law enforcement. or human compassion. and we can't say okay this now shows that the system is right. again, i'm not going to jump on the band wagon of bashes cops. they are great people. we need to own up the right now there are issues out there we need to
