░░░░░░░░ development of this vaccine ░░░░░░░░ and Democrats scientists of ░░░░░░░░ party all parties worked ░░░░░░░░ the United States is ░░░░░░░░ better right now as ░░░░░░░░ as getting the vaccine ░░░░░░░░ and opening this country ░░░░░░░░ And then most of ░░░░░░░░ allies are the people ░░░░░░░░ we looked out a ░░░░░░░░ ago saying why are ░░░░░░░░ doing so much better ░░░░░░░░ us We ve really ░░░░░░░░ a lot of American ░░░░░░░░ this year Again it ░░░░░░░░ outside the realm of ░░░░░░░░ where you see that ░░░░░░░░ we just right now ░░░░░░░░ s a Washington problem ░░░░░░░░ let s hope that ░░░░░░░░ leaders can figure out ░░░░░░░░ to move forward and ░░░░░░░░ up with the rest ░░░░░░░░ the country Also working ░░░░░░░░ Memorial Day we have ░░░░░░░░ House reporter for the ░░░░░░░░ Press Jonathan Lemire Professor ░░░░░░░░ Princeton university Eddie Glaude ░░░░░░░░ And U S National ░░░░░░░░ at the Financial times ░░░░░░░░ luce is with us ░░░░░░░░ morning And this Memorial ░░░░░░░░ weekend looked a lot ░░░░░░░░ like how things were ░░░░░░░░ pandemic Remember that Saturday ░░░░░░░░ the end of the ░░░░░░░░ 19 restrictions in Massachusetts ░░░░░░░░ despite the rain fans ░░░░░░░░ Fenway park to watch ░░░░░░░░ red Sox beat the ░░░░░░░░ I mean there were ░░░░░░░░ empty seats but it ░░░░░░░░ pretty full In Indiana ░░░░░░░░ 000 fans This was ░░░░░░░░ wasn t it 130 ░░░░░░░░ at the indy 500 ░░░░░░░░ out for the indy ░░░░░░░░ at the highest attendance ░░░░░░░░ event since the beginning ░░░░░░░░ the pandemic with vaccinations ░░░░░░░░ on site Getting really ░░░░░░░░ with these vaccines offering ░░░░░░░░ making it really easy ░░░░░░░░ get the vax At ░░░░░░░░ movies the sequel thriller ░░░░░░░░ quiet place 2 is ░░░░░░░░ to grows 58 5 ░░░░░░░░ by the end of ░░░░░░░░ holiday weekend And a ░░░░░░░░ best for the film ░░░░░░░░ by the way I ░░░░░░░░ the first Quiet place ░░░░░░░░ I missed all the ░░░░░░░░ Was it good Um ░░░░░░░░ Alex you went this ░░░░░░░░ right You went to ░░░░░░░░ movies this weekend I ░░░░░░░░ I went to Uella ░░░░░░░░ us your view of ░░░░░░░░ It was dark it ░░░░░░░░ a cross between The ░░░░░░░░ wears Prada and The ░░░░░░░░ I m sure your ░░░░░░░░ kids loved that Two ░░░░░░░░ a half hours perfect ░░░░░░░░ But it was good ░░░░░░░░ Stone and Emma Thompson ░░░░░░░░ remarkable I m not ░░░░░░░░ for kids but it ░░░░░░░░ good Emma Stone Emma ░░░░░░░░ in about any movie ░░░░░░░░ very good Incredible sound ░░░░░░░░ very dark very long ░░░░░░░░ great for your 5 ░░░░░░░░ 6 year old kids ░░░░░░░░ s like me bringing ░░░░░░░░ girls to The book ░░░░░░░░ Mormon When they were ░░░░░░░░ Nearly 2 million travelers ░░░░░░░░ into the long weekend ░░░░░░░░ highest number of passengers ░░░░░░░░ during the pandemic A ░░░░░░░░ of people on the ░░░░░░░░ Ed luce it looks ░░░░░░░░ things are starting to ░░░░░░░░ back up Looks this ░░░░░░░░ Day weekend really it ░░░░░░░░ that opening that we ░░░░░░░░ hearing about last Easter ░░░░░░░░ then last Memorial Day ░░░░░░░░ then last Fourth of ░░░░░░░░ and then last Thanksgiving ░░░░░░░░ s finally upon pus ░░░░░░░░ is We should never ░░░░░░░░ the speed with which ░░░░░░░░ vaccine rollout has happened ░░░░░░░░ mentioned the speed with ░░░░░░░░ the vaccines were developed ░░░░░░░░ the second most important ░░░░░░░░ is how quickly you ░░░░░░░░ them into people s ░░░░░░░░ and we have I ░░░░░░░░ t think there s ░░░░░░░░ anything like this on ░░░░░░░░ American public health history ░░░░░░░░ re now beginning to ░░░░░░░░ the fruits of that ░░░░░░░░ s a very different ░░░░░░░░ Day to the one ░░░░░░░░ had last year where ░░░░░░░░ you were Trump was ░░░░░░░░ everything should open up ░░░░░░░░ and all kinds of ░░░░░░░░ C whacko theories This ░░░░░░░░ for real this time ░░░░░░░░ for the right reasons ░░░░░░░░ numbers show President Biden ░░░░░░░░ approval rating sits at ░░░░░░░░ That is the highest ░░░░░░░░ for his administration so ░░░░░░░░ His disapproval rating also ░░░░░░░░ a new low of ░░░░░░░░ The same poll also ░░░░░░░░ 47 of Americans believe ░░░░░░░░ country is on the ░░░░░░░░ track Back in January ░░░░░░░░ 27 said the country ░░░░░░░░ headed in the right ░░░░░░░░ So Joe Biden banking ░░░░░░░░ good numbers here in ░░░░░░░░ presidency There s just ░░░░░░░░ dissidence here We sit ░░░░░░░░ and maybe You look ░░░░░░░░ s going on in ░░░░░░░░ overnight Maybe we re ░░░░░░░░ on the minor here ░░░░░░░░ maybe that that are ░░░░░░░░ polls wrong But Jonathan ░░░░░░░░ The National polls weren ░░░░░░░░ like 20 points off ░░░░░░░░ you look at it ░░░░░░░░ National polls weren t ░░░░░░░░ far off It s ░░░░░░░░ state polls that are ░░░░░░░░ And I m just ░░░░░░░░ at 62 38 We ░░░░░░░░ seen quite a few ░░░░░░░░ in the 60s quite ░░░░░░░░ few in the 50s ░░░░░░░░ s some varying degree ░░░░░░░░ every one of them ░░░░░░░░ over 50 and this ░░░░░░░░ track wrong track number ░░░░░░░░ jumped nearly 20 points ░░░░░░░░ m a skeptic I ░░░░░░░░ the crowd early and ░░░░░░░░ probably back in early ░░░░░░░░ of last year I ░░░░░░░░ t believe any polls ░░░░░░░░ I didn t believe ░░░░░░░░ of those polls that ░░░░░░░░ saying Biden was so ░░░░░░░░ ahead But in this ░░░░░░░░ but yeah so in ░░░░░░░░ case so something is ░░░░░░░░ that seems to be ░░░░░░░░ different than what the ░░░░░░░░ GOP caucus is thinking ░░░░░░░░ doing Certainly you and ░░░░░░░░ have had our share ░░░░░░░░ poll skepticism And I ░░░░░░░░ you re right to ░░░░░░░░ on the right track ░░░░░░░░ track numbers These are ░░░░░░░░ picture things We haven ░░░░░░░░ seention feel this good ░░░░░░░░ itself in a long ░░░░░░░░ And that also reflects ░░░░░░░░ very good numbers for ░░░░░░░░ Biden In a range ░░░░░░░░ between the low 50s ░░░░░░░░ this one 62 which ░░░░░░░░ a pretty remarkable number ░░░░░░░░ all of these much ░░░░░░░░ than his predecessor ever ░░░░░░░░ in any poll during ░░░░░░░░ time And I think ░░░░░░░░ big picture stuff as ░░░░░░░░ know there s a ░░░░░░░░ of optimism The vaccine ░░░░░░░░ has been so successful ░░░░░░░░ you know we have ░░░░░░░░ Americans now more than ░░░░░░░░ of adult Americans have ░░░░░░░░ fully vaccinated And the ░░░░░░░░ House is on track ░░░░░░░░ reach its goal of ░░░░░░░░ of adult Americans of ░░░░░░░░ at least one shot ░░░░░░░░ our next patriotic holiday ░░░░░░░░ 4th The economy is ░░░░░░░░ signs of reopening It ░░░░░░░░ in fits and starts ░░░░░░░░ there s still questions ░░░░░░░░ to what further federal ░░░░░░░░ the economy needs to ░░░░░░░░ sure But those are ░░░░░░░░ big things A sense ░░░░░░░░ normalcy A sense that ░░░░░░░░ country is starting to ░░░░░░░░ like it was again ░░░░░░░░ pandemic And not just ░░░░░░░░ terms of the virus ░░░░░░░░ also of course in ░░░░░░░░ of some of the ░░░░░░░░ from the White House ░░░░░░░░ s something the West ░░░░░░░░ leaders have been zeroed ░░░░░░░░ on the White House ░░░░░░░░ tired at the end ░░░░░░░░ the Trump Administration It ░░░░░░░░ looking to think less ░░░░░░░░ the president To have ░░░░░░░░ of a sense of ░░░░░░░░ if you will cull ░░░░░░░░ the White House And ░░░░░░░░ event like yesterday underscores ░░░░░░░░ I ve been on ░░░░░░░░ duty for the president ░░░░░░░░ was there yesterday for ░░░░░░░░ Memorial Day remarks And ░░░░░░░░ hear him speak so ░░░░░░░░ about the sacrifices of ░░░░░░░░ service men and their ░░░░░░░░ to stand there in ░░░░░░░░ rain for more than ░░░░░░░░ hour listening to other ░░░░░░░░ To make it so ░░░░░░░░ personal as he reflects ░░░░░░░░ the loss of his ░░░░░░░░ Beau Biden who was ░░░░░░░░ veteran who died six ░░░░░░░░ ago yesterday It was ░░░░░░░░ tough anniversary for their ░░░░░░░░ and he connected it ░░░░░░░░ the larger sacrifices of ░░░░░░░░ American service member and ░░░░░░░░ they reflect the best ░░░░░░░░ a nation that s ░░░░░░░░ its way back And ░░░░░░░░ hear that message from ░░░░░░░░ White House is also ░░░░░░░░ that s resonating with ░░░░░░░░ and we re seeing ░░░░░░░░ in those polls And ░░░░░░░░ just to frame something ░░░░░░░░ Lemire said getting Americans ░░░░░░░░ think less about the ░░░░░░░░ The fire hose of ░░░░░░░░ coming towards Americans during ░░░░░░░░ Trump presidency was just ░░░░░░░░ of gripping negativity and ░░░░░░░░ and sort of a ░░░░░░░░ different attitude coming from ░░░░░░░░ White House Maybe Americans ░░░░░░░░ a break They think ░░░░░░░░ about the presidency not ░░░░░░░░ bad thing But when ░░░░░░░░ do tune in and ░░░░░░░░ what he s doing ░░░░░░░░ s doing something like ░░░░░░░░ which is a big ░░░░░░░░ for everybody in America ░░░░░░░░ you know what people ░░░░░░░░ do when they tune ░░░░░░░░ and they see a ░░░░░░░░ doing what a president ░░░░░░░░ supposed to be doing ░░░░░░░░ people Honoring people not ░░░░░░░░ about himself not making ░░░░░░░░ statements You know what ░░░░░░░░ can do They can ░░░░░░░░ there they can look ░░░░░░░░ it and smile and ░░░░░░░░ they can turn over ░░░░░░░░ the ball game It ░░░░░░░░ the return to normalcy ░░░░░░░░ s doing his job ░░░░░░░░ we just don t ░░░░░░░░ how much to trust ░░░░░░░░ polls But I remember ░░░░░░░░ to so people who ░░░░░░░░ supporting Donald and saying ░░░░░░░░ just exhausts me Every ░░░░░░░░ I don t want ░░░░░░░░ talk about it at ░░░░░░░░ I don t want ░░░░░░░░ talk about it at ░░░░░░░░ I don t want ░░░░░░░░ talk about it when ░░░░░░░░ m golfing the whole ░░░░░░░░ rounds I don t ░░░░░░░░ to talk about it ░░░░░░░░ I m fishing I ░░░░░░░░ t want to talk ░░░░░░░░ it when I m ░░░░░░░░ I don t want ░░░░░░░░ talk about it okay ░░░░░░░░ don t want to ░░░░░░░░ about it all the ░░░░░░░░ right And I was ░░░░░░░░ that from people that ░░░░░░░░ for Donald Trump twice ░░░░░░░░ what in the world ░░░░░░░░ happened since the election ░░░░░░░░ madness has gotten even ░░░░░░░░ intense and in certain ░░░░░░░░ people are talking about ░░░░░░░░ more And there is ░░░░░░░░ a sheer exhaustion You ░░░░░░░░ I m the wrong ░░░░░░░░ to deliver this message ░░░░░░░░ we re hosts of ░░░░░░░░ three hour show Mika ░░░░░░░░ I about politics But ░░░░░░░░ s not good for ░░░░░░░░ country to be talking ░░░░░░░░ politics People obsessing about ░░░░░░░░ People looking at MSNBC ░░░░░░░░ fox 24 hours a ░░░░░░░░ or CNN 24 hours ░░░░░░░░ day I feel like ░░░░░░░░ know then to ferris ░░░░░░░░ what are you still ░░░░░░░░ here Go out Like ░░░░░░░░ something You know get ░░░░░░░░ And Donald Trump had ░░░░░░░░ talking about Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ us 24 hours a ░░░░░░░░ I think this return ░░░░░░░░ normalcy cannot be overstated ░░░░░░░░ you look at these ░░░░░░░░ numbers and the right ░░░░░░░░ I wonder if that ░░░░░░░░ one of the things ░░░░░░░░ s pushing these numbers ░░░░░░░░ Joe I think you ░░░░░░░░ right in this sense ░░░░░░░░ We cannot underestimate the ░░░░░░░░ of competence and in ░░░░░░░░ ways the displacement of ░░░░░░░░ Under the Trump Administration ░░░░░░░░ single day as you ░░░░░░░░ describe we were dealing ░░░░░░░░ the circus and pt ░░░░░░░░ And our politics felt ░░░░░░░░ way right And there ░░░░░░░░ this sense in which ░░░░░░░░ scenes of the country ░░░░░░░░ coming undone And there ░░░░░░░░ this intensity And then ░░░░░░░░ combine that with the ░░░░░░░░ of Covid 19 its ░░░░░░░░ station And of course ░░░░░░░░ was on display every ░░░░░░░░ day So we cannot ░░░░░░░░ the comfort that some ░░░░░░░░ us feel in the ░░░░░░░░ that government is actually ░░░░░░░░ or at least trying ░░░░░░░░ work Competence is actually ░░░░░░░░ the helm But at ░░░░░░░░ same time I want ░░░░░░░░ to be mindful even ░░░░░░░░ we kind of make ░░░░░░░░ shift that Memorial Day ░░░░░░░░ a day in which ░░░░░░░░ acknowledge those who sacrificed ░░░░░░░░ lives We re acknowledging ░░░░░░░░ dead Those who have ░░░░░░░░ this moment of comfort ░░░░░░░░ And that this Memorial ░░░░░░░░ is also part of ░░░░░░░░ kind of broader recognition ░░░░░░░░ millions of Americans are ░░░░░░░░ with anniversaries of their ░░░░░░░░ people who have lost ░░░░░░░░ lives because of Covid ░░░░░░░░ then you combine that ░░░░░░░░ the statistic Joe I ░░░░░░░░ a recent poll said ░░░░░░░░ 56 of Republicans believe ░░░░░░░░ the election was rigged ░░░░░░░░ 53 believe that Donald ░░░░░░░░ is still president or ░░░░░░░░ like that We know ░░░░░░░░ there are deep divisions ░░░░░░░░ have to assert unity ░░░░░░░░ we also need to ░░░░░░░░ understand that the country ░░░░░░░░ in some ways on ░░░░░░░░ knife s edge and ░░░░░░░░ particular feeling we need ░░░░░░░░ kind of figure out ░░░░░░░░ to sustain it over ░░░░░░░░ in light of the ░░░░░░░░ that define our current ░░░░░░░░ Yeah And I will ░░░░░░░░ when that 53 becomes ░░░░░░░░ 46 and it s ░░░░░░░░ in that direction I ░░░░░░░░ we can breathe a ░░░░░░░░ bit easier It is ░░░░░░░░ to remember if it ░░░░░░░░ 53 of Republicans who ░░░░░░░░ that that s 25 ░░░░░░░░ of the overall population ░░░░░░░░ so not saying that ░░░░░░░░ great Just saying we ░░░░░░░░ be moving in a ░░░░░░░░ direction Mika just look ░░░░░░░░ what we talk about ░░░░░░░░ at what Washington is ░░░░░░░░ a heated debate about ░░░░░░░░ now And instead of ░░░░░░░░ having a president calling ░░░░░░░░ the arrest imminent arrest ░░░░░░░░ his political opponent two ░░░░░░░░ before the election and ░░░░░░░░ his attorney general to ░░░░░░░░ him into jail or ░░░░░░░░ call a news host ░░░░░░░░ a TV show a ░░░░░░░░ 12 times and to ░░░░░░░░ to get him sent ░░░░░░░░ jail or to be ░░░░░░░░ that you know you ░░░░░░░░ Vladimir Putin more than ░░░░░░░░ trust your own Intel ░░░░░░░░ the heads of which ░░░░░░░░ instead of that we ░░░░░░░░ talking about right now ░░░░░░░░ we re complaining about ░░░░░░░░ about debt people are ░░░░░░░░ on talking about inflationary ░░░░░░░░ that are being from ░░░░░░░░ spending that we may ░░░░░░░░ have inflation coming up ░░░░░░░░ more You know we ░░░░░░░░ talking about those sort ░░░░░░░░ things and again there ░░░░░░░░ that return to normalcy ░░░░░░░░ still are Republicans that ░░░░░░░░ trying to talk about ░░░░░░░░ Eddie said how the ░░░░░░░░ of this republic are ░░░░░░░░ ripped apart Most Americans ░░░░░░░░ aren t buying that ░░░░░░░░ right now at least ░░░░░░░░ re in a bubble ░░░░░░░░ to themselves No I ░░░░░░░░ what you re trying ░░░░░░░░ sort of figure out ░░░░░░░░ this moment feels like ░░░░░░░░ this relief almost from ░░░░░░░░ tension of the past ░░░░░░░░ years and to Eddie ░░░░░░░░ point I think people ░░░░░░░░ taking comfort in what ░░░░░░░░ to be a normally ░░░░░░░░ administration even if they ░░░░░░░░ t vote for Joe ░░░░░░░░ And I think he ░░░░░░░░ achieving his goal to ░░░░░░░░ and be a president ░░░░░░░░ all people Even those ░░░░░░░░ didn t vote for ░░░░░░░░ There are over 600 ░░░░░░░░ people who died of ░░░░░░░░ S there PTSD from ░░░░░░░░ past year And a ░░░░░░░░ of issues gripping this ░░░░░░░░ But those numbers show ░░░░░░░░ people are feeling like ░░░░░░░░ at least or something ░░░░░░░░ is in control of ░░░░░░░░ situation And there are ░░░░░░░░ who oppose almost all ░░░░░░░░ his policies a great ░░░░░░░░ of his policies And ░░░░░░░░ recognize that You can ░░░░░░░░ if you want to ░░░░░░░░ that the sky is ░░░░░░░░ and the world is ░░░░░░░░ to an end there ░░░░░░░░ a lot of cable ░░░░░░░░ you can turn to ░░░░░░░░ weren t saying that ░░░░░░░░ few months ago and ░░░░░░░░ lot of podcasts you ░░░░░░░░ listen to a lot ░░░░░░░░ websites you can go ░░░░░░░░ that will reconfirm those ░░░░░░░░ existing biases They are ░░░░░░░░ there Of course Facebook ░░░░░░░░ that are out there ░░░░░░░░ saying overall generally the ░░░░░░░░ is sitting somewhere between ░░░░░░░░ 60s and mid 50s ░░░░░░░░ message is not penetrating ░░░░░░░░ vast majority of American ░░░░░░░░ right now It s ░░░░░░░░ sort of over in ░░░░░░░░ bubble Today President Biden ░░░░░░░░ partake in the annual ░░░░░░░░ Day wreath laying ceremony ░░░░░░░░ Arlington national cemetery And ░░░░░░░░ s where we find ░░░░░░░░ correspondent Courtney Kube Courtney ░░░░░░░░ can we expect today ░░░░░░░░ So we will hear ░░░░░░░░ President Joe Biden This ░░░░░░░░ more than 150 years ░░░░░░░░ tradition of having this ░░░░░░░░ at Arlington national cemetery ░░░░░░░░ addition to President Joe ░░░░░░░░ we ll also hear ░░░░░░░░ from the chairman of ░░░░░░░░ joint chiefs general mark ░░░░░░░░ and secretary of defense ░░░░░░░░ Austin They ll both ░░░░░░░░ very brief remarks and ░░░░░░░░ ll see the wreath ░░░░░░░░ at the tomb of ░░░░░░░░ soldiers and hear Taps ░░░░░░░░ This is a ceremony ░░░░░░░░ goes back to just ░░░░░░░░ the Civil War more ░░░░░░░░ 150 years ago when ░░░░░░░░ United States began recognizing ░░░░░░░░ day A lot of ░░░░░░░░ don t realize but ░░░░░░░░ then it was actually ░░░░░░░░ decoration day The idea ░░░░░░░░ that people men and ░░░░░░░░ would go to the ░░░░░░░░ of the men who ░░░░░░░░ been killed in the ░░░░░░░░ War and decorate their ░░░░░░░░ Over the years though ░░░░░░░░ and decades passed and ░░░░░░░░ U S Was involved ░░░░░░░░ more and more conflicts ░░░░░░░░ and more men and ░░░░░░░░ eventually men and women ░░░░░░░░ to be killed in ░░░░░░░░ conflicts and in the ░░░░░░░░ 1960s the U S ░░░░░░░░ it Memorial Day and ░░░░░░░░ it the last Monday ░░░░░░░░ may So we will ░░░░░░░░ that ceremony today It ░░░░░░░░ have a very different ░░░░░░░░ than the ceremony just ░░░░░░░░ year We stood in ░░░░░░░░ exact same location actually ░░░░░░░░ year on Memorial Day ░░░░░░░░ then President Trump spoke ░░░░░░░░ the ceremony But this ░░░░░░░░ for the first time ░░░░░░░░ more than a year ░░░░░░░░ cemetery is now open ░░░░░░░░ the public Men and ░░░░░░░░ can come and pay ░░░░░░░░ to the men and ░░░░░░░░ who have been been ░░░░░░░░ more than the 4 ░░░░░░░░ men and women who ░░░░░░░░ been laid to rest ░░░░░░░░ And we will hear ░░░░░░░░ President Joe Biden in ░░░░░░░░ year what is a ░░░░░░░░ solemn and somber ceremony ░░░░░░░░ s Courtney Kube thank ░░░░░░░░ very much for that ░░░░░░░░ And still ahead on ░░░░░░░░ Joe in the absence ░░░░░░░░ new clues about the ░░░░░░░░ of Coronavirus a lab ░░░░░░░░ theory is getting more ░░░░░░░░ more interest We ll ░░░░░░░░ the very latest from ░░░░░░░░ Plus in Texas a ░░░░░░░░ voting bill gets blocked ░░░░░░░░ democratic lawmakers stage a ░░░░░░░░ Former Texas congressman Beto ░░░░░░░░ Rourke will be our ░░░░░░░░ to weigh in on ░░░░░░░░ You re watching Morning ░░░░░░░░ We ll be right ░░░░░░░░ You re watching Morning ░░░░░░░░ We ll be right ░░░░░░░░ I m Dad s ░░░░░░░░ sandcastle and greatest memory ░░░░░░░░ even I m not ░░░░░░░░ memorable as eating Turkey ░░░░░░░░ Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup ░░░░░░░░ cream with real cocoa ░░░░░░░░ that s the way ░░░░░░░░ sandcastle crumbles You can ░░░░░░░░ beat Turkey Hill memories ░░░░░░░░ world we re inheriting ░░░░░░░░ s in crisis We ░░░░░░░░ here after years of ░░░░░░░░ policies climate deniers polluters ░░░░░░░░ But now I do ░░░░░░░░ swear Finally a president ░░░░░░░░ gets it Real leadership ░░░░░░░░ Congress It s our ░░░░░░░░ to tackle climate change ░░░░░░░░ invest in clean energy ░░░░░░░░ This is about our ░░░░░░░░ because if we don ░░░░░░░░ stand up if they ░░░░░░░░

probably ░░░░░░░░ that Even the Wuhan ░░░░░░░░ of virology said her ░░░░░░░░ thought was was this ░░░░░░░░ leak from my lab ░░░░░░░░ people have been systemically ░░░░░░░░ by their government Now ░░░░░░░░ the world knows how ░░░░░░░░ this is to the ░░░░░░░░ States the United States ░░░░░░░░ we lead the world ░░░░░░░░ that might also provide ░░░░░░░░ courage to many of ░░░░░░░░ ethical scientists in China ░░░░░░░░ whom I think this ░░░░░░░░ weighing on their consciences ░░░░░░░░ think we ll see ░░░░░░░░ information come out result ░░░░░░░░ this inquiry That was ░░░░░░░░ deputy national security adviser ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump Matthew pottinger ░░░░░░░░ the investigation into the ░░░░░░░░ of the Coronavirus And ░░░░░░░░ can t underline it ░░░░░░░░ because of course we ░░░░░░░░ all the documentation of ░░░░░░░░ officials administration officials that ░░░░░░░░ up short that failed ░░░░░░░░ were asleep at the ░░░░░░░░ when all of this ░░░░░░░░ going on That didn ░░░░░░░░ Matthew pottinger not one ░░░░░░░░ those He called it ░░░░░░░░ time and again He ░░░░░░░░ everybody inside the administration ░░░░░░░░ on about what was ░░░░░░░░ That guy if you ░░░░░░░░ t read up on ░░░░░░░░ you need to read ░░░░░░░░ on him That s ░░░░░░░░ a government official is ░░░░░░░░ to respond in a ░░░░░░░░ of crisis Like this ░░░░░░░░ should have a movie ░░░░░░░░ about him running around ░░░░░░░░ people to pay attention ░░░░░░░░ just to what was ░░░░░░░░ to America but what ░░░░░░░░ happening in China at ░░░░░░░░ time So when he ░░░░░░░░ that he s standing ░░░░░░░░ very very firm ground ░░░░░░░░ former FDA commissioner Scott ░░░░░░░░ says the theory it ░░░░░░░░ from a lab the ░░░░░░░░ is growing more likely ░░░░░░░░ us from Beijing NBC ░░░░░░░░ foreign correspondent Janis Mackey ░░░░░░░░ Janice is there any ░░░░░░░░ that China will cooperate ░░░░░░░░ all of this the ░░░░░░░░ investigation reporter Well there ░░░░░░░░ t any indication and ░░░░░░░░ probably isn t any ░░░░░░░░ of that happening either ░░░░░░░░ China s perspective they ░░░░░░░░ their part with the ░░░░░░░░ H O joint study ░░░░░░░░ released that report suggesting ░░░░░░░░ the lab leak was ░░░░░░░░ unlikely Because from China ░░░░░░░░ view not only did ░░░░░░░░ virus not originate in ░░░░░░░░ lab in Wuhan they ░░░░░░░░ t believe that it ░░░░░░░░ in China at all ░░░░░░░░ so if there is ░░░░░░░░ to be mounting pressure ░░░░░░░░ China to investigators on ░░░░░░░░ ground U S Scientists ░░░░░░░░ to look at any ░░░░░░░░ we expect there should ░░░░░░░░ a discussion around reciprocation ░░░░░░░░ the same time the ░░░░░░░░ leak theory has been ░░░░░░░░ China has been fighting ░░░░░░░░ with what is could ░░░░░░░░ called the ft Detrick ░░░░░░░░ This belief that the ░░░░░░░░ Health Organization needs to ░░░░░░░░ looking elsewhere at other ░░░░░░░░ in other facilities in ░░░░░░░░ countries in particular in ░░░░░░░░ U S So the ░░░░░░░░ is that nothing has ░░░░░░░░ changed in that position ░░░░░░░░ China s perspective except ░░░░░░░░ now this lab leak ░░░░░░░░ has what we can ░░░░░░░░ a mainstream variant with ░░░░░░░░ U S Intelligence community ░░░░░░░░ having 90 days to ░░░░░░░░ to come up with ░░░░░░░░ But that too will ░░░░░░░░ a challenge The intelligence ░░░░░░░░ capabilities on the ground ░░░░░░░░ in China are not ░░░░░░░░ they used to be ░░░░░░░░ so President Biden is ░░░░░░░░ going to be relying ░░░░░░░░ international partners to try ░░░░░░░░ come up with something ░░░░░░░░ might help steer things ░░░░░░░░ a better direction And ░░░░░░░░ do you have any ░░░░░░░░ on this new variant ░░░░░░░░ we re hearing about ░░░░░░░░ Vietnam It s a ░░░░░░░░ new variant I mean ░░░░░░░░ all are but this ░░░░░░░░ health officials are saying ░░░░░░░░ very dangerous because they ░░░░░░░░ that it spreads very ░░░░░░░░ by air There have ░░░░░░░░ noases reported yet in ░░░░░░░░ U S However Vietnam ░░░░░░░░ is a country that ░░░░░░░░ this point had avoided ░░░░░░░░ outbreaks is now in ░░░░░░░░ People are being told ░░░░░░░░ stay inside That this ░░░░░░░░ transmittable and they see ░░░░░░░░ as almost a hybrid ░░░░░░░░ the India variant and ░░░░░░░░ U K Variant And ░░░░░░░░ they re sending out ░░░░░░░░ alert They re saying ░░░░░░░░ they ll have the ░░░░░░░░ sequence up and available ░░░░░░░░ soon But again it ░░░░░░░░ to the urgency as ░░░░░░░░ see these new variants ░░░░░░░░ a surge in infections ░░░░░░░░ particular across Asia with ░░░░░░░░ urgency there again is ░░░░░░░░ fuel in this debate ░░░░░░░░ what has caused Covid ░░░░░░░░ to begin with It ░░░░░░░░ goes back to the ░░░░░░░░ of the Coronavirus And ░░░░░░░░ that will come back ░░░░░░░░ But again it s ░░░░░░░░ to be a very ░░░░░░░░ or productive discussion with ░░░░░░░░ officials All right Thank ░░░░░░░░ so much Janis That ░░░░░░░░ NBC s Janis Mackey ░░░░░░░░ in Beijing We thank ░░░░░░░░ so much Jonathan Lemire ░░░░░░░░ important is it right ░░░░░░░░ to the Biden Administration ░░░░░░░░ get to the bottom ░░░░░░░░ this How much pressure ░░░░░░░░ they going to be ░░░░░░░░ on our own Intel ░░░░░░░░ and also on China ░░░░░░░░ get some access and ░░░░░░░░ out what exactly happened ░░░░░░░░ It s becoming far ░░░░░░░░ of a priority Joe ░░░░░░░░ was on the back ░░░░░░░░ for a while as ░░░░░░░░ administration is more focused ░░░░░░░░ managing the pandemic here ░░░░░░░░ as the White House ░░░░░░░░ out last week they ░░░░░░░░ like it s important ░░░░░░░░ know how this pandemic ░░░░░░░░ so they can be ░░░░░░░░ prepared to prepare for ░░░░░░░░ next one wherever that ░░░░░░░░ be And let s ░░░░░░░░ it s not anytime ░░░░░░░░ The Biden Administration the ░░░░░░░░ has ordered the intelligence ░░░░░░░░ 90 days to do ░░░░░░░░ review There have been ░░░░░░░░ reports of some new ░░░░░░░░ some new information that ░░░░░░░░ come to light to ░░░░░░░░ S Officials that spurred ░░░░░░░░ review It s not ░░░░░░░░ clear what that is ░░░░░░░░ has not been publicly ░░░░░░░░ We pressed Jen Psaki ░░░░░░░░ White House secretary at ░░░░░░░░ end of Air Force ░░░░░░░░ at the end of ░░░░░░░░ week and she was ░░░░░░░░ able to answer that ░░░░░░░░ But I think it ░░░░░░░░ also in addition to ░░░░░░░░ short term in addition ░░░░░░░░ this moment where they ░░░░░░░░ going to push China ░░░░░░░░ s going to be ░░░░░░░░ most complicated relationship of ░░░░░░░░ Biden Administration in terms ░░░░░░░░ an overseas partner or ░░░░░░░░ at times And that ░░░░░░░░ China This is the ░░░░░░░░ important relationship that this ░░░░░░░░ is going to face ░░░░░░░░ a lot of attention ░░░░░░░░ the Putin summit coming ░░░░░░░░ in a few weeks ░░░░░░░░ is a White House ░░░░░░░░ s still putting together ░░░░░░░░ strategy on China trying ░░░░░░░░ figure out what to ░░░░░░░░ on tariffs How much ░░░░░░░░ pressure they want to ░░░░░░░░ What should the president ░░░░░░░░ message be on human ░░░░░░░░ in places like Hong ░░░░░░░░ and Taiwan and so ░░░░░░░░ And we hear from ░░░░░░░░ knowing this is going ░░░░░░░░ be the economic rivalry ░░░░░░░░ this next century and ░░░░░░░░ message is that we ░░░░░░░░ to take care of ░░░░░░░░ at home to compete ░░░░░░░░ But this is the ░░░░░░░░ to this is the ░░░░░░░░ step in this relationship ░░░░░░░░ is going to be ░░░░░░░░ times very tense And ░░░░░░░░ administration will be putting ░░░░░░░░ lot of energy into ░░░░░░░░ All right Jonathan Lemire ░░░░░░░░ know you have to ░░░░░░░░ Thanks so much for ░░░░░░░░ with us Go Sox ░░░░░░░░ boy A good weekend ░░░░░░░░ won t get into ░░░░░░░░ Just a good weekend ░░░░░░░░ you so much for ░░░░░░░░ with us Okay to ░░░░░░░░ I want to ask ░░░░░░░░ really quickly before we ░░░░░░░░ to the next story ░░░░░░░░ you know there was ░░░░░░░░ the first six months ░░░░░░░░ this pandemic obviously it ░░░░░░░░ in China but there ░░░░░░░░ to be a spin ░░░░░░░░ China Hey we re ░░░░░░░░ you know we re ░░░░░░░░ help out there We ░░░░░░░░ going to help other ░░░░░░░░ the United States is ░░░░░░░░ down in its own ░░░░░░░░ disputes And I actually ░░░░░░░░ seeing articles in The ░░░░░░░░ York Times and other ░░░░░░░░ saying that this was ░░░░░░░░ going to be a ░░░░░░░░ public relations win for ░░░░░░░░ And that really that ░░░░░░░░ I don t know ░░░░░░░░ the Chinese were getting ░░░░░░░░ out I don t ░░░░░░░░ But they were trying ░░░░░░░░ spin this as a ░░░░░░░░ for China that they ░░░░░░░░ able to manage it ░░░░░░░░ better et cetera et ░░░░░░░░ et cetera So there ░░░░░░░░ always going to be ░░░░░░░░ propaganda battle about what ░░░░░░░░ I of course gasp ░░░░░░░░ almost passed out when ░░░░░░░░ read that how could ░░░░░░░░ be a win for ░░░░░░░░ But that s what ░░░░░░░░ spin was six months ░░░░░░░░ Talk about how important ░░░░░░░░ is for the Chinese ░░░░░░░░ obfuscate the facts here ░░░░░░░░ stop people from finding ░░░░░░░░ that this escaped from ░░░░░░░░ lab if in fact ░░░░░░░░ did escape from a ░░░░░░░░ It s a really ░░░░░░░░ question because if China ░░░░░░░░ it feathers and just ░░░░░░░░ look okay we ve ░░░░░░░░ been transparent we re ░░░░░░░░ unclear as to the ░░░░░░░░ of this virus Let ░░░░░░░░ open up Wuhan again ░░░░░░░░ virology lab the wet ░░░░░░░░ the doctors and lab ░░░░░░░░ who is didn t ░░░░░░░░ properly questioned by the ░░░░░░░░ H O Let s ░░░░░░░░ to get to the ░░░░░░░░ of this That would ░░░░░░░░ be a major public ░░░░░░░░ win for China But ░░░░░░░░ think there s pretty ░░░░░░░░ zero chance Hell will ░░░░░░░░ over before China agrees ░░░░░░░░ do that In this ░░░░░░░░ we re going to ░░░░░░░░ as Matt pottinger just ░░░░░░░░ about on that show ░░░░░░░░ mean Matt pottinger as ░░░░░░░░ rightly emphasize reported on ░░░░░░░░ sars outbreaks in China ░░░░░░░░ east Asia He s ░░░░░░░░ some form on this ░░░░░░░░ He s got some ░░░░░░░░ And knows the details ░░░░░░░░ how China covered up ░░░░░░░░ sars origins which they ░░░░░░░░ That if China doesn ░░░░░░░░ cooperate with the W ░░░░░░░░ O this is going ░░░░░░░░ increasingly look like China ░░░░░░░░ chernobyl which was a ░░░░░░░░ public relations blow for ░░░░░░░░ So I think it ░░░░░░░░ very hard to extract ░░░░░░░░ geopolitical victories from 2020 ░░░░░░░░ change of administration in ░░░░░░░░ certainly helped America s ░░░░░░░░ as does the vaccine ░░░░░░░░ and development But you ░░░░░░░░ see a major geopolitical ░░░░░░░░ coming out of 2020 ░░░░░░░░ that would be China ░░░░░░░░ word Chernobyl is of ░░░░░░░░ associated with the beginning ░░░░░░░░ the end of the ░░░░░░░░ Union It was a ░░░░░░░░ blow in the eyes ░░░░░░░░ the Soviet people I ░░░░░░░░ t think the Chinese ░░░░░░░░ will be trusting what ░░░░░░░░ government says about this ░░░░░░░░ me ask you this ░░░░░░░░ It s been fascinating ░░░░░░░░ see what s happening ░░░░░░░░ China over the past ░░░░░░░░ years President Xi has ░░░░░░░░ consolidating power Many say ░░░░░░░░ he s consolidated power ░░░░░░░░ more than anybody else ░░░░░░░░ chairman Mao Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ course congratulated him on ░░░░░░░░ for some reason But ░░░░░░░░ I think sometimes we ░░░░░░░░ t understand that China ░░░░░░░░ government isn t a ░░░░░░░░ There are so many ░░░░░░░░ cross currents going back ░░░░░░░░ forth And there has ░░░░░░░░ a rising concern about ░░░░░░░░ Xi s actions over ░░░░░░░░ past year or so ░░░░░░░░ many quarters in and ░░░░░░░░ of the government inside ░░░░░░░░ party I m curious ░░░░░░░░ s at stake for ░░░░░░░░ inside the communist party ░░░░░░░░ this as this possible ░░░░░░░░ unfurls And could this ░░░░░░░░ a real challenge to ░░░░░░░░ leadership if this keeps ░░░░░░░░ into as you say ░░░░░░░░ Chinese chernobyl Well as ░░░░░░░░ rightly say he s ░░░░░░░░ himself up there with ░░░░░░░░ Mao and with Deng ░░░░░░░░ Of course he wasn ░░░░░░░░ around when the Chinese ░░░░░░░░ happened He s immortalized ░░░░░░░░ thoughts in the Xi ░░░░░░░░ Chinese party constitution He ░░░░░░░░ also given himself pretty ░░░░░░░░ every title and earned ░░░░░░░░ head of every military ░░░░░░░░ going He s got ░░░░░░░░ titles than any other ░░░░░░░░ leader Deng jaoping was ░░░░░░░░ chairman of the Chinese ░░░░░░░░ playing association in the ░░░░░░░░ few years of his ░░░░░░░░ He didn t have ░░░░░░░░ display his power because ░░░░░░░░ had it So Xi ░░░░░░░░ is showing some fragility ░░░░░░░░ by putting every medal ░░░░░░░░ can find on his ░░░░░░░░ And he s clearly ░░░░░░░░ a lot of enemies ░░░░░░░░ the Chinese system Corruption ░░░░░░░░ are never quite what ░░░░░░░░ seem There are usually ░░░░░░░░ of getting rid of ░░░░░░░░ rather than corruption And ░░░░░░░░ s been conducting a ░░░░░░░░ of those So I ░░░░░░░░ what we see here ░░░░░░░░ a much more brittle ░░░░░░░░ leader than might at ░░░░░░░░ seem to be the ░░░░░░░░ So Chinese politics will ░░░░░░░░ very interesting going forward ░░░░░░░░ should be watching it ░░░░░░░░ So we ll move ░░░░░░░░ to the Middle East ░░░░░░░░ story we re watching ░░░░░░░░ where Israeli prime minister ░░░░░░░░ Netanyahu could be replaced ░░░░░░░░ leading the country for ░░░░░░░░ years Leader of the ░░░░░░░░ party former aid to ░░░░░░░░ minister nefally Bennett announced ░░░░░░░░ would work with opposition ░░░░░░░░ to force Netanyahu to ░░░░░░░░ office For more on ░░░░░░░░ let s bring in ░░░░░░░░ News foreign correspondent Matt ░░░░░░░░ Matt what is the ░░░░░░░░ Well Mika I mean ░░░░░░░░ big headline here is ░░░░░░░░ after four elections in ░░░░░░░░ years the vaul option ░░░░░░░░ Benjamin Netanyahu has finally ░░░░░░░░ gotten their act together ░░░░░░░░ they re posing a ░░░░░░░░ real challenge to Benjamin ░░░░░░░░ Israel s longest serving ░░░░░░░░ minister He s been ░░░░░░░░ office for the past ░░░░░░░░ years And so that ░░░░░░░░ why we heard from ░░░░░░░░ Netanyahu last night as ░░░░░░░░ plan was coming together ░░░░░░░░ guys the negotiations for ░░░░░░░░ new coalition they re ░░░░░░░░ furiously Right now they ░░░░░░░░ into the early hours ░░░░░░░░ the morning They re ░░░░░░░░ going on today They ░░░░░░░░ until Wednesday to form ░░░░░░░░ coalition government And so ░░░░░░░░ Netanyahu big friend of ░░░░░░░░ Trump He had a ░░░░░░░░ news conference kind of ░░░░░░░░ a news conference kind ░░░░░░░░ like a temper tantrum ░░░░░░░░ night He called this ░░░░░░░░ coalition plan an opportunistic ░░░░░░░░ a government of capitulation ░░░░░░░░ government of fraud a ░░░░░░░░ of inertia and he ░░░░░░░░ compared the new coalition ░░░░░░░░ bashar Al Asad s ░░░░░░░░ in Syria and the ░░░░░░░░ who run Iran So ░░░░░░░░ is it that Benjamin ░░░░░░░░ is so sensitive about ░░░░░░░░ Of course it s ░░░░░░░░ just that he doesn ░░░░░░░░ want to leave power ░░░░░░░░ all of these years ░░░░░░░░ the prime minister It ░░░░░░░░ also because he s ░░░░░░░░ quite literally fighting for ░░░░░░░░ political life or rather ░░░░░░░░ political freedom He faces ░░░░░░░░ charges of corruption and ░░░░░░░░ separate cases bribery breach ░░░░░░░░ trust and fraud If ░░░░░░░░ is removed from the ░░░░░░░░ and he was indicted ░░░░░░░░ these last year he ░░░░░░░░ open himself up to ░░░░░░░░ a lot of legal ░░░░░░░░ He could as Israel ░░░░░░░░ longest serving prime minister ░░░░░░░░ go to jail which ░░░░░░░░ be rather shocking Now ░░░░░░░░ of this is going ░░░░░░░░ amidst of course the ░░░░░░░░ in Gaza That 11 ░░░░░░░░ conflict that just wrapped ░░░░░░░░ Now negotiations for a ░░░░░░░░ permanent cease fire are ░░░░░░░░ right now Egypt is ░░░░░░░░ that And that is ░░░░░░░░ in the background alongside ░░░░░░░░ rise of Joe Biden ░░░░░░░░ the United States And ░░░░░░░░ mentioned before Benjamin Netanyahu ░░░░░░░░ a close friend of ░░░░░░░░ Trump and Joe Biden ░░░░░░░░ know he showed that ░░░░░░░░ United States isn t ░░░░░░░░ going to be sticking ░░░░░░░░ Israel s camp There ░░░░░░░░ some small but very ░░░░░░░░ shifts towards the left ░░░░░░░░ the Biden Administration especially ░░░░░░░░ to other previous U ░░░░░░░░ Presidents So when you ░░░░░░░░ at the situation in ░░░░░░░░ it looks almost if ░░░░░░░░ squint as though there ░░░░░░░░ going to be a ░░░░░░░░ changing of the guard ░░░░░░░░ the Israeli Palestinian conflict ░░░░░░░░ the U S Changes ░░░░░░░░ the Israeli government changes ░░░░░░░░ if this is the ░░░░░░░░ of the end for ░░░░░░░░ Netanyahu this is certainly ░░░░░░░░ the beginning of the ░░░░░░░░ for new West Wing ░░░░░░░░ is a new coalition ░░░░░░░░ that will be cobbled ░░░░░░░░ It will be a ░░░░░░░░ flimsy a very fragile ░░░░░░░░ and it could easily ░░░░░░░░ up at any time ░░░░░░░░ All right NBC s ░░░░░░░░ Bradley thank you so ░░░░░░░░ We appreciate it Ed ░░░░░░░░ I have been to ░░░░░░░░ show before several times ░░░░░░░░ at the end the ░░░░░░░░ houdini somehow always slips ░░░░░░░░ chains and swims up ░░░░░░░░ the surface and lives ░░░░░░░░ perform at another show ░░░░░░░░ does I mean he ░░░░░░░░ not just Netanyahu is ░░░░░░░░ just the houdini of ░░░░░░░░ he s really the ░░░░░░░░ of the western democratic ░░░░░░░░ There s no one ░░░░░░░░ really begins to compare ░░░░░░░░ Italy s berlusconi wouldn ░░░░░░░░ match Bibi Netanyahu s ░░░░░░░░ to wriggle out of ░░░░░░░░ spots He is I ░░░░░░░░ the pioneer of western ░░░░░░░░ the successful western populist ░░░░░░░░ models Parties all over ░░░░░░░░ west have gone to ░░░░░░░░ and maepd alliances with ░░░░░░░░ learned lessons from him ░░░░░░░░ forged pacts with him ░░░░░░░░ that were anti Semitic ░░░░░░░░ marine LA Penn s ░░░░░░░░ in France like Victor ░░░░░░░░ Bann in Hungary they ░░░░░░░░ from Netanyahu how to ░░░░░░░░ George Soros a very ░░░░░░░░ Semitic trope that Netanyahu ░░░░░░░░ used about do gooding ░░░░░░░░ globalists So he s ░░░░░░░░ any real inner moral ░░░░░░░░ as to what he ░░░░░░░░ prepared to do to ░░░░░░░░ power And this latest ░░░░░░░░ with the Gaza Strip ░░░░░░░░ part of that It ░░░░░░░░ initially to the collapse ░░░░░░░░ coalition talks to form ░░░░░░░░ government without him Which ░░░░░░░░ course would then lead ░░░░░░░░ his prosecution since he ░░░░░░░░ no longer prime minister ░░░░░░░░ the various crimes of ░░░░░░░░ and corruption he s ░░░░░░░░ indicted with and it ░░░░░░░░ like even maybe now ░░░░░░░░ has failed that finally ░░░░░░░░ ll get a reckoning ░░░░░░░░ Netanyahu But I would ░░░░░░░░ count him out He ░░░░░░░░ not just highly skilled ░░░░░░░░ he s without moral ░░░░░░░░ Ed luce thank you ░░░░░░░░ much We ll be ░░░░░░░░ this And coming up ░░░░░░░░ Oklahoma is marking 100 ░░░░░░░░ since a

Please give me my ░░░░░░░░ and my community some ░░░░░░░░ That was a clip ░░░░░░░░ the new documentary Blood ░░░░░░░░ black Wall Street The ░░░░░░░░ of the Tulsa race ░░░░░░░░ examining the traumatic impact ░░░░░░░░ the 1921 tragedy Today ░░░░░░░░ 100 years since white ░░░░░░░░ terrorized the predominantly blacktown ░░░░░░░░ Greenwood killing an estimated ░░░░░░░░ people and burning down ░░░░░░░░ thriving business community known ░░░░░░░░ the black Wall Street ░░░░░░░░ riot began after armed ░░░░░░░░ of the black community ░░░░░░░░ to prevent the lynching ░░░░░░░░ a young man accused ░░░░░░░░ assaulting a white woman ░░░░░░░░ Biden is expected to ░░░░░░░░ the city tomorrow We ░░░░░░░░ going to get to ░░░░░░░░ Lee live in Tulsa ░░░░░░░░ just a moment But ░░░░░░░░ Eddie Glaude why is ░░░░░░░░ important to remember this ░░░░░░░░ and also to put ░░░░░░░░ into context as we ░░░░░░░░ the struggles today Well ░░░░░░░░ I think it s ░░░░░░░░ because we re trying ░░░░░░░░ imagine who we are ░░░░░░░░ we aspire to be ░░░░░░░░ seems to me to ░░░░░░░░ with how Joe opened ░░░░░░░░ show If we re ░░░░░░░░ to assert that Americans ░░░░░░░░ one we re one ░░░░░░░░ we re going to ░░░░░░░░ to confront this ugliness ░░░░░░░░ re going to have ░░░░░░░░ confront the incompleteness the ░░░░░░░░ of our failure to ░░░░░░░░ to it 107 year ░░░░░░░░ woman has never received ░░░░░░░░ The wiped out generations ░░░░░░░░ wealth in two 48 ░░░░░░░░ It so seems to ░░░░░░░░ this is not a ░░░░░░░░ of wallowing in guilt ░░░░░░░░ s not a matter ░░░░░░░░ self flagellation it s ░░░░░░░░ matter of confronting the ░░░░░░░░ so we might release ░░░░░░░░ as a country of ░░░░░░░░ new way to being ░░░░░░░░ To go back to ░░░░░░░░ Joe said at the ░░░░░░░░ of the show if ░░░░░░░░ are one America we ░░░░░░░░ to tell the truth ░░░░░░░░ what we ve done ░░░░░░░░ order to release ourselves ░░░░░░░░ the future of actually ░░░░░░░░ a unified country Let ░░░░░░░░ go to Trymaine Lee ░░░░░░░░ in Tulsa right now ░░░░░░░░ documentary aired on MSNBC ░░░░░░░░ night Tremaine how will ░░░░░░░░ city be remembering this ░░░░░░░░ Good morning Mika For ░░░░░░░░ last few days this ░░░░░░░░ has been coming together ░░░░░░░░ fellowship because of the ░░░░░░░░ of what happened a ░░░░░░░░ years ago which began ░░░░░░░░ hundred years ago today ░░░░░░░░ still being felt in ░░░░░░░░ heart of those in ░░░░░░░░ community They dealt with ░░░░░░░░ violence of that day ░░░░░░░░ the violence of the ░░░░░░░░ disposition that followed The ░░░░░░░░ of urban renewal And ░░░░░░░░ violence of gentrification So ░░░░░░░░ hundred years later this ░░░░░░░░ is most desperately looking ░░░░░░░░ be made whole Not ░░░░░░░░ for the financial aspect ░░░░░░░░ also there s a ░░░░░░░░ of trauma that has ░░░░░░░░ inherited where wealth was ░░░░░░░░ This community has come ░░░░░░░░ on this commemoration to ░░░░░░░░ what happened but also ░░░░░░░░ to center their narrative ░░░░░░░░ make sure they re ░░░░░░░░ the ball forward and ░░░░░░░░ finally that they may ░░░░░░░░ made whole There are ░░░░░░░░ in this community who ░░░░░░░░ calling for reparations and ░░░░░░░░ calls are most certainly ░░░░░░░░ louder even though it ░░░░░░░░ certainly politically divisive in ░░░░░░░░ community for sure but ░░░░░░░░ community is coming together ░░░░░░░░ remember what happened Eddie ░░░░░░░░ jump in Trymaine it ░░░░░░░░ great to see you ░░░░░░░░ morning No one was ░░░░░░░░ held to account for ░░░░░░░░ 300 dead 10 000 ░░░░░░░░ displaced homeless What do ░░░░░░░░ make of the relationship ░░░░░░░░ not holding white rage ░░░░░░░░ a hundred years ago ░░░░░░░░ not holding white rage ░░░░░░░░ on January 6th Kind ░░░░░░░░ connect these two moments ░░░░░░░░ anniversary and the current ░░░░░░░░ reality reporter Well certainly ░░░░░░░░ psic pangs of that ░░░░░░░░ of dynamic of what ░░░░░░░░ re talking about is ░░░░░░░░ being felt where people ░░░░░░░░ to live in proximity ░░░░░░░░ those who tried to ░░░░░░░░ them and steal their ░░░░░░░░ And you think about ░░░░░░░░ happened on June 1st ░░░░░░░░ 1921 the white community ░░░░░░░░ deputized by law enforcement ░░░░░░░░ literally dropped bombs from ░░░░░░░░ sky And again no ░░░░░░░░ being held to account ░░░░░░░░ sent a loud and ░░░░░░░░ message that the state ░░░░░░░░ not only not there ░░░░░░░░ protect black bodies but ░░░░░░░░ to weaponize whiteness and ░░░░░░░░ the racism So when ░░░░░░░░ think about the violence ░░░░░░░░ January 6th and how ░░░░░░░░ mob was allowed to ░░░░░░░░ its way into the ░░░░░░░░ of democracy And think ░░░░░░░░ the way the mobs ░░░░░░░░ pushed into the black ░░░░░░░░ the citadel of block ░░░░░░░░ 35 blocks 12 miles ░░░░░░░░ Greenwood avenue with hundreds ░░░░░░░░ black owned businesses theaters ░░░░░░░░ beauty salons and barbershops ░░░░░░░░ up in flames in ░░░░░░░░ instant I think there ░░░░░░░░ a clear connect and ░░░░░░░░ don t think that ░░░░░░░░ lost on any of ░░░░░░░░ folks in this community ░░░░░░░░

a ░░░░░░░░ hall injuring 20 and ░░░░░░░░ two I think that ░░░░░░░░ was probably targeted on ░░░░░░░░ specific person at that ░░░░░░░░ And they really didn ░░░░░░░░ care about who was ░░░░░░░░ around And as a ░░░░░░░░ innocent people were shot ░░░░░░░░ lost their lives reporter ░░░░░░░░ Dade s police director ░░░░░░░░ it s possible a ░░░░░░░░ rounds were fired as ░░░░░░░░ assailants carried

gun homicides between ░░░░░░░░ and 2020 the biggest ░░░░░░░░ on record Gun violence ░░░░░░░░ worse in the summer ░░░░░░░░ are at place that ░░░░░░░░ frequency of these shootings ░░░░░░░░ duration of how long ░░░░░░░░ re lasting in these ░░░░░░░░ it should be concerning ░░░░░░░░ all of us as ░░░░░░░░ now reporter Chicago s ░░░░░░░░ superintendent saying the city ░░░░░░░░ commit more resources to ░░░░░░░░ shootings as summer approaches ░░░░░░░░ police officers work hours ░░░░░░░░ canceling their vacation days ░░░░░░░░ in New York more ░░░░░░░░ will be placed in ░░░░░░░░ crime areas The fallout ░░░░░░░░ this vicious wave of ░░░░░░░░ more families seeing their ░░░░░░░░ of safety shattered My ░░░░░░░░ my only son he ░░░░░░░░ my only child He ░░░░░░░░ not a statistic He ░░░░░░░░ a graduate Our thanks ░░░░░░░░ Sam Brock for that ░░░░░░░░ Mika this is something ░░░░░░░░ we ve been seeing ░░░░░░░░ since the pandemic has ░░░░░░░░ just one mass shooting ░░░░░░░░ another mass shooting But ░░░░░░░░ actually comes on the ░░░░░░░░ of one of the ░░░░░░░░ violent crime ridden years ░░░░░░░░ this country has seen ░░░░░░░░ decades A lot of ░░░░░░░░ violence especially in cities ░░░░░░░░ have skyrocketed around the ░░░░░░░░ over the past year ░░░░░░░░ gun violence And a ░░░░░░░░ of gains that have ░░░░░░░░ made over the past ░░░░░░░░ have been wiped out ░░░░░░░░ 2020 And it s ░░░░░░░░ to the point where ░░░░░░░░ last Friday California s ░░░░░░░░ was like here I ░░░░░░░░ again And what is ░░░░░░░░ with us What is ░░░░░░░░ with us that this ░░░░░░░░ every day There s ░░░░░░░░ country in the world ░░░░░░░░ s dealing with a ░░░░░░░░ like this to this ░░░░░░░░ and the you know ░░░░░░░░ of it are very ░░░░░░░░ and yet nothing happens ░░░░░░░░ columnist Maureen Dowd sat ░░░░░░░░ with former NYPD commissioner ░░░░░░░░ Bratton and recounts the ░░░░░░░░ in her latest piece ░░░░░░░░ of it is here ░░░░░░░░ in a Manhattan hotel ░░░░░░░░ wearing a crisp white ░░░░░░░░ khakis the Rolex his ░░░░░░░░ gave him that s ░░░░░░░░ ring of his NYPD ░░░░░░░░ s badge Bratton 73 ░░░░░░░░ when Gotham was considered ░░░░░░░░ saving Now with murder ░░░░░░░░ up by double digits ░░░░░░░░ my cities he warns ░░░░░░░░ careful what you wish ░░░░░░░░ because sometimes it s ░░░░░░░░ to come back and ░░░░░░░░ you in the ass ░░░░░░░░ s effectively the defund ░░░░░░░░ police movement They got ░░░░░░░░ they wanted They defunded ░░░░░░░░ police What do they ░░░░░░░░ Rising crime Cops leaving ░░░░░░░░ droves difficulty recruiting Now ░░░░░░░░ re waking up to ░░░░░░░░ fact that our cities ░░░░░░░░ unsafe And that s ░░░░░░░░ tension Joe that we ░░░░░░░░ dealing with in terms ░░░░░░░░ our cops who have ░░░░░░░░ through a lot of ░░░░░░░░ and rightfully so in ░░░░░░░░ year that was the ░░░░░░░░ Chauvin conviction and the ░░░░░░░░ which Bratton calls it ░░░░░░░░ now murder of George ░░░░░░░░ but within the middle ░░░░░░░░ all of that there ░░░░░░░░ policing issues that could ░░░░░░░░ addressed but it needs ░░░░░░░░ funding and cops need ░░░░░░░░ respect that they deserve ░░░░░░░░ they are walking the ░░░░░░░░ It s a fine ░░░░░░░░ A very fine balance ░░░░░░░░ Bill Bratton tries to ░░░░░░░░ that It certainly is ░░░░░░░░ ve been talking about ░░░░░░░░ for years now You ░░░░░░░░ through body cam through ░░░░░░░░ it s through bad ░░░░░░░░ have to be called ░░░░░░░░ have to be taken ░░░░░░░░ the force if they ░░░░░░░░ crimes they have to ░░░░░░░░ arrested and they need ░░░░░░░░ go to jail and ░░░░░░░░ cops need to be ░░░░░░░░ and evaluated Right now ░░░░░░░░ we ve seen over ░░░░░░░░ past year Eddie Glaude ░░░░░░░░ we ve seen skyrocketing ░░░░░░░░ and unfortunately and you ░░░░░░░░ see it in New ░░░░░░░░ City there are some ░░░░░░░░ from let s say ░░░░░░░░ of the more well ░░░░░░░░ of the cleaner what ░░░░░░░░ you call it More ░░░░░░░░ parts of the city ░░░░░░░░ wealthier parts of the ░░░░░░░░ that may chant defund ░░░░░░░░ police and then you ░░░░░░░░ got parents family members ░░░░░░░░ ones who send their ░░░░░░░░ off to school in ░░░░░░░░ of the more dangerous ░░░░░░░░ of New York City ░░░░░░░░ no no we don ░░░░░░░░ want less cops we ░░░░░░░░ more cops where our ░░░░░░░░ go to school We ░░░░░░░░ more cops on the ░░░░░░░░ where our children are ░░░░░░░░ to school So this ░░░░░░░░ t some clear left ░░░░░░░░ black white issue This ░░░░░░░░ a very complicated issue ░░░░░░░░ unfortunately it seems that ░░░░░░░░ s truly disadvantaged who ░░░░░░░░ often than not are ░░░░░░░░ ones that get the ░░░░░░░░ share of these crime ░░░░░░░░ Well it seems to ░░░░░░░░ very clear Joe that ░░░░░░░░ communities those particular communities ░░░░░░░░ underresourced communities are often ░░░░░░░░ undersurveilled and under protected ░░░░░░░░ when we re not ░░░░░░░░ the context of defund ░░░░░░░░ police in some way ░░░░░░░░ rhetoric of defund the ░░░░░░░░ there is that reality ░░░░░░░░ you ve just described ░░░░░░░░ defines in many ways ░░░░░░░░ black brown and poor ░░░░░░░░ communities around the country ░░░░░░░░ think it s really ░░░░░░░░ I understand that we ░░░░░░░░ to keep track of ░░░░░░░░ uptick in gun violence ░░░░░░░░ we also have to ░░░░░░░░ careful in how we ░░░░░░░░ for its cause It ░░░░░░░░ to me that there ░░░░░░░░ simply no data Joe ░░░░░░░░ I know we might ░░░░░░░░ on this There s ░░░░░░░░ no data that there ░░░░░░░░ a relationship between calls ░░░░░░░░ defund the police and ░░░░░░░░ uptick in gun violence ░░░░░░░░ are we attributing the ░░░░░░░░ to that phrase You ░░░░░░░░ help me I just ░░░░░░░░ t understand why we ░░░░░░░░ doing it And it ░░░░░░░░ to me that Mika ░░░░░░░░ the conversation in a ░░░░░░░░ interesting sort of way ░░░░░░░░ That there is a ░░░░░░░░ to hold policing accountable ░░░░░░░░ there has to be ░░░░░░░░ kind of reform But ░░░░░░░░ we ve been talking ░░░░░░░░ the nature of that ░░░░░░░░ there have been some ░░░░░░░░ in which we ve ░░░░░░░░ the police from doing ░░░░░░░░ jobs Injust need to ░░░░░░░░ more clearly why are ░░░░░░░░ placing this at the ░░░░░░░░ of a slogan that ░░░░░░░░ hasn t evidenced itself ░░░░░░░░ policy Well if you ░░░░░░░░ asking why I mean ░░░░░░░░ if you talk to ░░░░░░░░ officers if you talk ░░░░░░░░ Bratton if you talk ░░░░░░░░ commissioners if you talk ░░░░░░░░ other people that talk ░░░░░░░░ police they will tell ░░░░░░░░ that over the past ░░░░░░░░ they ve been back ░░░░░░░░ their heels That they ░░░░░░░░ that they have been ░░░░░░░░ they ve been afraid ░░░░░░░░ go in and do ░░░░░░░░ jobs And unfortunately again ░░░░░░░░ say that a lot ░░░░░░░░ areas where there are ░░░░░░░░ of color in areas ░░░░░░░░ truly disadvantaged live that ░░░░░░░░ re overpoliced you know ░░░░░░░░ would that s not ░░░░░░░░ I m hearing from ░░░░░░░░ that represent those areas ░░░░░░░░ they are overpoliced Over ░░░░░░░░ past year they felt ░░░░░░░░ they ve been underpoliced ░░░░░░░░ that is you know ░░░░░░░░ you go to the ░░░░░░░░ gentrified parts of Brooklyn ░░░░░░░░ suspect they probably don ░░░░░░░░ have the same complaints ░░░░░░░░ the south Bronx and ░░░░░░░░ areas of Brooklyn that ░░░░░░░░ aren t getting the ░░░░░░░░ resources that they feel ░░░░░░░░ they need Well when ░░░░░░░░ say overpoliced Joe I ░░░░░░░░ talking about stop and ░░░░░░░░ I m talking about ░░░░░░░░ philosophy of broken windows ░░░░░░░░ m talking about what ░░░░░░░░ day in and day ░░░░░░░░ in these communities in ░░░░░░░░ name of stopping violent ░░░░░░░░ where we see the ░░░░░░░░ liberties of black and ░░░░░░░░ and poor white people ░░░░░░░░ upon every day right ░░░░░░░░ part of what we ░░░░░░░░ in these moments when ░░░░░░░░ have a police involved ░░░░░░░░ when we see something ░░░░░░░░ George Floyd and we ░░░░░░░░ oh my God what ░░░░░░░░ happened here that s ░░░░░░░░ the consequence of a ░░░░░░░░ of policing that happens ░░░░░░░░ So when I say ░░░░░░░░ and overly surveilled I ░░░░░░░░ not talking about the ░░░░░░░░ of actual bodies on ░░░░░░░░ ground I m talking ░░░░░░░░ a type of policing ░░░░░░░░ ensnares a particular community ░░░░░░░░ s what I mean ░░░░░░░░ I think it s ░░░░░░░░ important just really quickly ░░░░░░░░ that what does it ░░░░░░░░ for police officers to ░░░░░░░░ back on their heels ░░░░░░░░ folk are just trying ░░░░░░░░ have them do their ░░░░░░░░ justly right So that ░░░░░░░░ don t engage in ░░░░░░░░ violence That they don ░░░░░░░░ infringe upon the rights ░░░░░░░░ the poor and the ░░░░░░░░ What does it mean ░░░░░░░░ them to stop doing ░░░░░░░░ job under such conditions ░░░░░░░░ just want us to ░░░░░░░░ very very careful in ░░░░░░░░ moment before we pull ░░░░░░░░ because we need to ░░░░░░░░ policing in this country ░░░░░░░░ we pull back not ░░░░░░░░ account for the rise ░░░░░░░░ violence gun violence in ░░░░░░░░ communities by linking it ░░░░░░░░ a slogan We need ░░░░░░░░ understand this moment the ░░░░░░░░ health issues all sorts ░░░░░░░░ things that are happening ░░░░░░░░ this moment that have ░░░░░░░░ to the uptick I ░░░░░░░░ us to be careful ░░░░░░░░ that we don t ░░░░░░░░ back into what has ░░░░░░░░ to a pile of ░░░░░░░░ Joe And that might ░░░░░░░░ aed by melodramatic but ░░░░░░░░ s where I m ░░░░░░░░ from I don t ░░░░░░░░ it s melodramatic at ░░░░░░░░ Over the past four ░░░░░░░░ we ve talked about ░░░░░░░░ tragedy of what happened ░░░░░░░░ North Charleston We talked ░░░░░░░░ the tragedy the murder ░░░░░░░░ think it s murder ░░░░░░░░ least here what happened ░░░░░░░░ Eric Garner Of course ░░░░░░░░ saw what happened to ░░░░░░░░ Chauvin We have seen ░░░░░░░░ And Erin it s ░░░░░░░░ Eddie brought up stop ░░░░░░░░ frisk There s a ░░░░░░░░ example of a policy ░░░░░░░░ was put in place ░░░░░░░░ as Bill Bratton said ░░░░░░░░ his interview with Maureen ░░░░░░░░ the numbers skyrocketed to ░░░░░░░░ a massive degree that ░░░░░░░░ New Yorkers were up ░░░░░░░░ arms for good reason ░░░░░░░░ it actually set the ░░░░░░░░ force back Well Joe ░░░░░░░░ actually want to address ░░░░░░░░ of what former chief ░░░░░░░░ was saying in there ░░░░░░░░ is the uptick in ░░░░░░░░ and in violence in ░░░░░░░░ is certainly not what ░░░░░░░░ activists and folks on ░░░░░░░░ ground that I talked ░░░░░░░░ say is what they ░░░░░░░░ when they call for ░░░░░░░░ the police But for ░░░░░░░░ for whom this slogan ░░░░░░░░ this mantra chafes more ░░░░░░░░ the idea of police ░░░░░░░░ you know this is ░░░░░░░░ they would say You ░░░░░░░░ this is what you ░░░░░░░░ asked for And you ░░░░░░░░ be careful what you ░░░░░░░░ for This is not ░░░░░░░░ people wish for People ░░░░░░░░ wishing for to Eddie ░░░░░░░░ point to you know ░░░░░░░░ enforcement that protects and ░░░░░░░░ their communities in a ░░░░░░░░ that is equal to ░░░░░░░░ protection and service that ░░░░░░░░ re seeing in communities ░░░░░░░░ don t look like ░░░░░░░░ And you know listen ░░░░░░░░ you asked a plurality ░░░░░░░░ Americans you know are ░░░░░░░░ more in favor of ░░░░░░░░ Black Lives Matter movement ░░░░░░░░ they were previously but ░░░░░░░░ are in favor of ░░░░░░░░ like not having police ░░░░░░░░ first responders on issues ░░░░░░░░ mental health who would ░░░░░░░░ you know these communities ░░░░░░░░ have more economic opportunity ░░░░░░░░ might prevent some of ░░░░░░░░ gun violence which is ░░░░░░░░ other issue that we ░░░░░░░░ to be talking about ░░░░░░░░ of defund the police ░░░░░░░░ is really a conversation ░░░░░░░░ the mass shootings that ░░░░░░░░ happening on a regular ░░░░░░░░ in these cities albeit ░░░░░░░░ necessarily in a day ░░░░░░░░ over time You have ░░░░░░░░ shootings in some cities ░░░░░░░░ Memorial Day the start ░░░░░░░░ summer season most of ░░░░░░░░ consider Memorial Day the ░░░░░░░░ of that season it ░░░░░░░░ also the start of ░░░░░░░░ that do see an ░░░░░░░░ in gun violence But ░░░░░░░░ you know tying that ░░░░░░░░ Eddie s point to ░░░░░░░░ defund the police effort ░░░░░░░░ movement that it s ░░░░░░░░ for police reforms that ░░░░░░░░ focus on some of ░░░░░░░░ underlying issues that are ░░░░░░░░ cause of gun violence ░░░░░░░░ these communities is I ░░░░░░░░ it s a false ░░░░░░░░ and it s putting ░░░░░░░░ lot of the people ░░░░░░░░ these communities in a ░░░░░░░░ to really have us ░░░░░░░░ about this as a ░░░░░░░░ choice Yeah And that ░░░░░░░░ the thing I think ░░░░░░░░ as this discussion moves ░░░░░░░░ Mika we have to ░░░░░░░░ beyond the false choices ░░░░░░░░ s going to take ░░░░░░░░ s actually going to ░░░░░░░░ as Bill Bratton said ░░░░░░░░ was in Los Angeles ░░░░░░░░ only way L A ░░░░░░░░ policing was improved at ░░░░░░░░ was a complete and ░░░░░░░░ engagement in all communities ░░░░░░░░ has to be that ░░░░░░░░ in all communities for ░░░░░░░░ police to be effective ░░░░░░░░ s interesting You look ░░░░░░░░ a lot of the ░░░░░░░░ Erin brings up great ░░░░░░░░ A lot of people ░░░░░░░░ t want police officers ░░░░░░░░ have to be first ░░░░░░░░ in mental health crisis ░░░░░░░░ what I bet most ░░░░░░░░ officers don t want ░░░░░░░░ be first responders in ░░░░░░░░ health crises We ask ░░░░░░░░ police officers to do ░░░░░░░░ lot of things that ░░░░░░░░ aren t trained to ░░░░░░░░ So this is a ░░░░░░░░ conversation to have It ░░░░░░░░ also important to look ░░░░░░░░ New York City s ░░░░░░░░ race to see what ░░░░░░░░ important issue this is ░░░░░░░░ the top issue whether ░░░░░░░░ s in the WPIX ░░░░░░░░ or the other New ░░░░░░░░ City polls is safety ░░░░░░░░ safety Figuring out how ░░░░░░░░ we move forward how ░░░░░░░░ we make streets in ░░░░░░░░ York City safer but ░░░░░░░░ as Erin said how ░░░░░░░░ we get both sides ░░░░░░░░ and move fast false ░░░░░░░░ that too often this ░░░░░░░░ seems to be framed ░░░░░░░░ All right We want ░░░░░░░░ move to Texas now ░░░░░░░░ Democrats blocked the Republican ░░░░░░░░ to overhaul voting in ░░░░░░░░ state at least for ░░░░░░░░ Texas Democrats successfully stopped ░░░░░░░░ passage of the Senate ░░░░░░░░ 7 a voting package ░░░░░░░░ would have made Texas ░░░░░░░░ of the most strict ░░░░░░░░ in the country when ░░░░░░░░ comes to casting a ░░░░░░░░ Nearly every Democrat walked ░░░░░░░░ of the house chamber ░░░░░░░░ making it impossible for ░░░░░░░░ GOP to vote on ░░░░░░░░ bill before the midnight ░░░░░░░░ Senate bill 7 would ░░░░░░░░ mobile voting booths and ░░░░░░░░ through voting It would ░░░░░░░░ include new mail in ░░░░░░░░ restrictions and empowers partisan ░░░░░░░░ watchers The bill bars ░░░░░░░░ voting on Sunday mornings ░░░░░░░░ ending souls to the ░░░░░░░░ the program which is ░░░░░░░░ by predominantly black churches ░░░░░░░░ get worshippers to vote ░░░░░░░░ services The Washington Post ░░░░░░░░ the bill also includes ░░░░░░░░ making it easier to ░░░░░░░░ an election no longer ░░░░░░░░ evidence that fraud actually ░░░░░░░░ an outcome of a ░░░░░░░░ but rather only that ░░░░░░░░ ballots were illegally cast ░░░░░░░░ could have made a ░░░░░░░░ Texas governor Greg Abbott ░░░░░░░░ shortly before midnight that ░░░░░░░░ election bill would be ░░░░░░░░ to a special session ░░░░░░░░ Congress where it is ░░░░░░░░ to pass Let s ░░░░░░░░ in former democratic senateto ░░░░░░░░ rourke of Texas He ░░░░░░░░ the El Paso district ░░░░░░░░ also ran for president ░░░░░░░░ s good to have ░░░░░░░░ on the show this ░░░░░░░░ What more can Democrats ░░░░░░░░ to block this It ░░░░░░░░ is going to go ░░░░░░░░ And this bill based ░░░░░░░░ the big lie Democrats ░░░░░░░░ Texas did a lot ░░░░░░░░ bought us some time ░░░░░░░░ stopped one of the ░░░░░░░░ voter suppression bills in ░░░░░░░░ country But when you ░░░░░░░░ what they were trying ░░░░░░░░ pass in Texas with ░░░░░░░░ passed in Georgia Iowa ░░░░░░░░ what s pending in ░░░░░░░░ than 40 other state ░░░░░░░░ you see that we ░░░░░░░░ the biggest attack on ░░░░░░░░ democracy hour lifetimes And ░░░░░░░░ requires a federal response ░░░░░░░░ intervention which we have ░░░░░░░░ in the United States ░░░░░░░░ the for the people ░░░░░░░░ And that s how ░░░░░░░░ push back and defeat ░░░░░░░░ big lie Mika That ░░░░░░░░ how you ensure that ░░░░░░░░ have multi racial democracy ░░░░░░░░ America going forward That ░░░░░░░░ how you protect the ░░░░░░░░ to vote on this ░░░░░░░░ when we remember the ░░░░░░░░ who gave their lives ░░░░░░░░ preserve and protect that ░░░░░░░░ to vote Let s ░░░░░░░░ their sacrifice and commitment ░░░░░░░░ making sure that bills ░░░░░░░░ these do not pass ░░░░░░░░ we have protection against ░░░░░░░░ by having the United ░░░░░░░░ Senate and President Joe ░░░░░░░░ do everything that they ░░░░░░░░ to pass this voting ░░░░░░░░ bill and protect that ░░░░░░░░ forever more Congressman this ░░░░░░░░ one of the best ░░░░░░░░ to democracy in our ░░░░░░░░ What provisions specifically do ░░░░░░░░ consider to be pose ░░░░░░░░ of the greatest risks ░░░░░░░░ democracy in our lifetime ░░░░░░░░ think the most chilling ░░░░░░░░ of Senate bill 7 ░░░░░░░░ Texas was this provision ░░░░░░░░ was literally just introduced ░░░░░░░░ the last 48 hours ░░░░░░░░ would allow an election ░░░░░░░░ be overturned based on ░░░░░░░░ allegation of fraud even ░░░░░░░░ the alleged fraudulent votes ░░░░░░░░ not have meaningfully changed ░░░░░░░░ outcome of that election ░░░░░░░░ you connect that to ░░░░░░░░ big lie that there ░░░░░░░░ widespread voter fraud in ░░░░░░░░ somehow Joe Biden s ░░░░░░░░ illegitimate president you can ░░░░░░░░ state legislatures like the ░░░░░░░░ here in Texas not ░░░░░░░░ the results of future ░░░░░░░░ elections Imagine what would ░░░░░░░░ with our 40 Electoral ░░░░░░░░ votes in 2024 if ░░░░░░░░ allegation of fraud was ░░░░░░░░ and the rightful winner ░░░░░░░░ not recognized That s ░░░░░░░░ an unbelievable scenario after ░░░░░░░░ 6th and the almost ░░░░░░░░ overturn of election or ░░░░░░░░ Josh Hawley or Ted ░░░░░░░░ and others voted to ░░░░░░░░ on that very same ░░░░░░░░ That s what concerns ░░░░░░░░ the most Joe Yeah ░░░░░░░░ know that is a ░░░░░░░░ provision there You know ░░░░░░░░ lot of times we ░░░░░░░░ have we ll be ░░░░░░░░ about this and there ░░░░░░░░ be a discussion about ░░░░░░░░ grave dangers and people ░░░░░░░░ talk about no more ░░░░░░░░ up voting or all ░░░░░░░░ these things that actually ░░░░░░░░ came about in 2020 ░░░░░░░░ I say be very ░░░░░░░░ to separate out the ░░░░░░░░ exceptions that were made ░░░░░░░░ pandemic voting and go ░░░░░░░░ and look at 2018 ░░░░░░░░ so yeah drive up ░░░░░░░░ and 24 hour voting ░░░░░░░░ are things that were ░░░░░░░░ put in place because ░░░░░░░░ the pandemic Those aren ░░░░░░░░ grave threats to democracy ░░░░░░░░ you take those away ░░░░░░░░ I would want them ░░░░░░░░ only because we want ░░░░░░░░ many people to vote ░░░░░░░░ possible But I think ░░░░░░░░ ve really zoned in ░░░░░░░░ the most concerning part ░░░░░░░░ this legislation just like ░░░░░░░░ Georgia legislation it s ░░░░░░░░ are always distracted by ░░░░░░░░ provisions Drive up voting ░░░░░░░░ ballot boxes the mobile ░░░░░░░░ boxes When in reality ░░░░░░░░ s giving legislatures Republican ░░░░░░░░ or democratic legislatures whoever ░░░░░░░░ trying to change the ░░░░░░░░ of the election the ░░░░░░░░ to overturn an election ░░░░░░░░ if there s not ░░░░░░░░ of widespread voting fraud ░░░░░░░░ changes the outcome of ░░░░░░░░ election Like Georgia who ░░░░░░░░ some of these challenges ░░░░░░░░ you have Texas trying ░░░░░░░░ do the same thing ░░░░░░░░ s absolutely right And ░░░░░░░░ s worth remembering that ░░░░░░░░ democracy is the rule ░░░░░░░░ the exception And as ░░░░░░░░ fought as this democracy ░░░░░░░░ won we can so ░░░░░░░░ lose it with provisions ░░░░░░░░ this one But I ░░░░░░░░ want to call attention ░░░░░░░░ some of these seemingly ░░░░░░░░ provisis like closing apology ░░░░░░░░ in Texas or quote ░░░░░░░░ standardizing elections The poll ░░░░░░░░ 100 years ago was ░░░░░░░░ innocuous sounding The literacy ░░░░░░░░ the counting the number ░░░░░░░░ jelly beans in a ░░░░░░░░ But in every instance ░░░░░░░░ were used to try ░░░░░░░░ stop black Texans and ░░░░░░░░ Americans throughout the former ░░░░░░░░ from being able to ░░░░░░░░ their rights to vote ░░░░░░░░ in that same way ░░░░░░░░ souls to the polls ░░░░░░░░ closing polling places in ░░░░░░░░ African American neighborhoods is ░░░░░░░░ the exact same thing ░░░░░░░░ 2021 And I think ░░░░░░░░ you connect it to ░░░░░░░░ of these other provisions ░░░░░░░░ all of these other ░░░░░░░░ you see the greatest ░░░░░░░░ on democracy since Lyndon ░░░░░░░░ Jones signed the voting ░░░░░░░░ bill into law So ░░░░░░░░ requires a response that ░░░░░░░░ only be found in ░░░░░░░░ United States Senate You ░░░░░░░░ it would sure be ░░░░░░░░ if Democrats in the ░░░░░░░░ would focus on hr ░░░░░░░░ and pass John Lewis ░░░░░░░░ And then get to ░░░░░░░░ 1 and they can ░░░░░░░░ that There s a ░░░░░░░░ to debate there But ░░░░░░░░ s very interesting Mika ░░░░░░░░ Beto brings up again ░░░░░░░░ provision It is so ░░░░░░░░ focused on stopping black ░░░░░░░░ from voting Making it ░░░░░░░░ for black Americans to ░░░░░░░░ Actually this souls to ░░░░░░░░ polls program that the ░░░░░░░░ s talking abouhas been ░░░░░░░░ effective across America where ░░░░░░░░ going to church in ░░░░░░░░ churches after church they ░░░░░░░░ vote as a community ░░░░░░░░ faith which is of ░░░░░░░░ isn t that I ░░░░░░░░ that s what we ░░░░░░░░ have always said We ░░░░░░░░ communities of faith to ░░░░░░░░ out and be more ░░░░░░░░ voting in the polls ░░░░░░░░ s what the moral ░░░░░░░░ and Jerry Falwell always ░░░░░░░░ they were before But ░░░░░░░░ they re doing in ░░░░░░░░ is what they proposed ░░░░░░░░ Georgia and dropped But ░░░░░░░░ s so transparently aimed ░░░░░░░░ black Americans where they ░░░░░░░░ pushing the opening time ░░░░░░░░ 1 00 P M ░░░░░░░░ they ll get out ░░░░░░░░ church leave church and ░░░░░░░░ s no way they ░░░░░░░░ be able to bring ░░░░░░░░ Americans organize in the ░░░░░░░░ white Americans organize through ░░░░░░░░ Won t be able ░░░░░░░░ get them back to ░░░░░░░░ polling booths on Sunday ░░░░░░░░ 1 00 It s ░░░░░░░░ it s just transparent ░░░░░░░░ s embarrassing And it ░░░░░░░░ so targeted towards black ░░░░░░░░ who are people of ░░░░░░░░ that Republicans should be ░░░░░░░░ It s just another ░░░░░░░░ that well not just ░░░░░░░░ Texas where the Republican ░░░░░░░░ you know adding to ░░░░░░░░ brilliant brand of insurrectionist ░░░░░░░░ whatever else is they ░░░░░░░░ to be the party ░░░░░░░░ black people from voting ░░░░░░░░ s the message they ░░░░░░░░ sending Here s what ░░░░░░░░ congressman Michael McCaul of ░░░░░░░░ said yesterday about the ░░░░░░░░ for the new voting ░░░░░░░░ I think the intent ░░░░░░░░ I m not in ░░░░░░░░ state legislature is to ░░░░░░░░ confidence in the elections ░░░░░░░░ fraud isn t taking ░░░░░░░░ Now you make a ░░░░░░░░ point I m a ░░░░░░░░ prosecutor and in a ░░░░░░░░ of law you know ░░░░░░░░ hasn t really been ░░░░░░░░ to bear This may ░░░░░░░░ more of an optics ░░░░░░░░ storing confidence with the ░░░░░░░░ people And in my ░░░░░░░░ you actually do believe ░░░░░░░░ was tremendous fraud I ░░░░░░░░ so many questions Joe ░░░░░░░░ was he talking about ░░░░░░░░ terms of restoring confidence ░░░░░░░░ s talking about optic ░░░░░░░░ restoring of confidence but ░░░░░░░░ is there a lack ░░░░░░░░ confidence among Republicans in ░░░░░░░░ state of Texas and ░░░░░░░░ America Because Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ been lying about election ░░░░░░░░ for six months Because ░░░░░░░░ are going along with ░░░░░░░░ because they kicked Liz ░░░░░░░░ out because she wouldn ░░░░░░░░ go along with the ░░░░░░░░ lie Because she called ░░░░░░░░ the big lie And ░░░░░░░░ this is you talk ░░░░░░░░ circular logic We re ░░░░░░░░ as a party we ░░░░░░░░ going to spread lies ░░░░░░░░ are going to shatter ░░░░░░░░ s faith in their ░░░░░░░░ democracy in the voting ░░░░░░░░ and then we re ░░░░░░░░ to pass more restrictive ░░░░░░░░ to take care of ░░░░░░░░ problem that doesn t ░░░░░░░░ But we ll take ░░░░░░░░ of the optics problem ░░░░░░░░ we created That s ░░░░░░░░ Talk about some twisted ░░░░░░░░ But I ve heard ░░░░░░░░ from one Republican after ░░░░░░░░ Well Americans don t ░░░░░░░░ well why don t ░░░░░░░░ trust their own democracy ░░░░░░░░ there has been an ░░░░░░░░ on American democracy not ░░░░░░░░ on January the 6th ░░░░░░░░ Beto there s been ░░░░░░░░ assault on American democracy ░░░░░░░░ the confidence Americans have ░░░░░░░░ peaceful transition on our ░░░░░░░░ process about our voting ░░░░░░░░ about our very democracy ░░░░░░░░ You can t burn ░░░░░░░░ the village and say ░░░░░░░░ here I am to ░░░░░░░░ it Let s rebuild ░░░░░░░░ guys Trying to put ░░░░░░░░ the fire that they ░░░░░░░░ in the first place ░░░░░░░░ are more likely to ░░░░░░░░ struck by lightning in ░░░░░░░░ state of Texas than ░░░░░░░░ are to encounter voter ░░░░░░░░ in the state of ░░░░░░░░ This is a solution ░░░░░░░░ search of a problem ░░░░░░░░ it s going to ░░░░░░░░ a lot of voters ░░░░░░░░ Texas in a state ░░░░░░░░ and Mika which is ░░░░░░░░ the toughest in which ░░░░░░░░ vote bar none in ░░░░░░░░ country They re going ░░░░░░░░ make it even harder ░░░░░░░░ thing I wanted to ░░░░░░░░ with you those Texas ░░░░░░░░ Democrats that stopped this ░░░░░░░░ suppression bill even though ░░░░░░░░ are in a fairly ░░░░░░░░ minority here in Texas ░░░░░░░░ hope that Senate Democrats ░░░░░░░░ the United States Senate ░░░░░░░░ are in a majority ░░░░░░░░ watching their example These ░░░░░░░░ in Texas were able ░░░░░░░░ stop a bad bill ░░░░░░░░ need the Senate Democrats ░░░░░░░░ United States Senate to ░░░░░░░░ a good one They ░░░░░░░░ the numbers to do ░░░░░░░░ Democrats stick together stand ░░░░░░░░ and fight we win ░░░░░░░░ I hope those Senate ░░░░░░░░ will do that while ░░░░░░░░ have the chance Congressman ░░░░░░░░ O Rourke thank you ░░░░░░░░ much Thank you It ░░░░░░░░ always great having you ░░░░░░░░ us We appreciate it ░░░░░░░░ so we heard congressman ░░░░░░░░ rourke We heard congressman ░░░░░░░░ and my gosh here ░░░░░░░░ once again have somebody ░░░░░░░░ that there s that ░░░░░░░░ have a solution that ░░░░░░░░ searching for a problem ░░░░░░░░ doesn t even economist ░░░░░░░░ you look at the ░░░░░░░░ admitted it You look ░░░░░░░░ the Supreme Court you ░░░░░░░░ at the Trump appointees ░░░░░░░░ the Supreme Court You ░░░░░░░░ at Trump appointees to ░░░░░░░░ federal court You even ░░░░░░░░ at what Rudy Giuliani ░░░░░░░░ inside of a federal ░░░░░░░░ there s no evidence ░░░░░░░░ widespread voter fraud Time ░░░░░░░░ time again Trump lawyers ░░░░░░░░ not admit in federal ░░░░░░░░ where they could be ░░░░░░░░ for lying that there ░░░░░░░░ widespread voter fraud None ░░░░░░░░ the Trump judges not ░░░░░░░░ of them supported any ░░░░░░░░ their allegations any of ░░░░░░░░ claims And yet here ░░░░░░░░ are claiming now they ░░░░░░░░ to restore confidence in ░░░░░░░░ American electoral system Yeah ░░░░░░░░ to your point Joe ░░░░░░░░ heard representative Mccall say ░░░░░░░░ quiet part out loud ░░░░░░░░ is not about election ░░░░░░░░ this is about the ░░░░░░░░ right This is about ░░░░░░░░ optics So what is ░░░░░░░░ here The objective fight ░░░░░░░░ voter those who are ░░░░░░░░ Those who are pushing ░░░░░░░░ know expansion to the ░░░░░░░░ is where we now ░░░░░░░░ ourselves And just as ░░░░░░░░ O rourke said you ░░░░░░░░ Texas Democrats pushing back ░░░░░░░░ night and claiming the ░░░░░░░░ victory in that fight ░░░░░░░░ that is a victory ░░░░░░░░ now right Governor Greg ░░░░░░░░ was denied his photo ░░░░░░░░ for for signing you ░░░░░░░░ this Senate bill 7 ░░░░░░░░ law in Texas as ░░░░░░░░ had a photo op ░░░░░░░░ recently in signing abortion ░░░░░░░░ into law with you ░░░░░░░░ a phalanx of law ░░░░░░░░ behind him most of ░░░░░░░░ white and male But ░░░░░░░░ s already call for ░░░░░░░░ know another session around ░░░░░░░░ voting legislation So he ░░░░░░░░ going to bring lawmakers ░░░░░░░░ to the Texas legislation ░░░░░░░░ continue to debate this ░░░░░░░░ look another point that ░░░░░░░░ O rourke raised is ░░░░░░░░ just as Texas Democrats ░░░░░░░░ creative in the 11th ░░░░░░░░ last night to stave ░░░░░░░░ this legislation with you ░░░░░░░░ they are calling for ░░░░░░░░ at the federal level ░░░░░░░░ get creative and do ░░░░░░░░ they asked voters to ░░░░░░░░ in 2020 You know ░░░░░░░░ whatever it takes to ░░░░░░░░ what it is that ░░░░░░░░ sent you to elected ░░░░░░░░ to do right I ░░░░░░░░ these this is the ░░░░░░░░ that those voters voted ░░░░░░░░ This is the fight ░░░░░░░░ that both sides elected ░░░░░░░░ voters to do Republican ░░░░░░░░ certainly seem to understand ░░░░░░░░ continuing to push for ░░░░░░░░ big lie and to ░░░░░░░░ to push for the ░░░░░░░░ the false threat of ░░░░░░░░ interrogate is to prepare ░░░░░░░░ more And for Democrats ░░░░░░░░ that their mandate is ░░░░░░░░ to try to seek ░░░░░░░░ on this issue really ░░░░░░░░ something done on voting ░░░░░░░░ and voting acts All ░░░░░░░░ Erin Haynes thank you ░░░░░░░░ much for being on ░░░░░░░░ morning Still ahead on ░░░░░░░░ Joe former

number of passengers screened ░░░░░░░░ the pandemic A lot ░░░░░░░░ people on the move ░░░░░░░░ luce it looks like ░░░░░░░░ are starting to open ░░░░░░░░ up Looks this Memorial ░░░░░░░░ weekend really it was ░░░░░░░░ opening that we were ░░░░░░░░ about last Easter and ░░░░░░░░ last Memorial Day and ░░░░░░░░ 4th of July and ░░░░░░░░ it s finally upon ░░░░░░░░ It is We should ░░░░░░░░ forget the speed witwhich ░░░░░░░░ vaccine rolout was done ░░░░░░░░ second is how quickly ░░░░░░░░ get them into people ░░░░░░░░ arms We have I ░░░░░░░░ t think there s ░░░░░░░░ anything like this on ░░░░░░░░ scale in American public ░░░░░░░░ history We are now ░░░░░░░░ to see the fruits ░░░░░░░░ that It s a ░░░░░░░░ different Memorial Day than ░░░░░░░░ year If you remember ░░░░░░░░ was saying everything should ░░░░░░░░ up and all kinds ░░░░░░░░ theories This is for ░░░░░░░░ and the right reasons ░░░░░░░░ numbers show President Biden ░░░░░░░░ approval rating is 62 ░░░░░░░░ s the highest mark ░░░░░░░░ his administration so far ░░░░░░░░ disapproval rating reached a ░░░░░░░░ low of 38 The ░░░░░░░░ poll also shows 47 ░░░░░░░░ Americans believe the country ░░░░░░░░ on the right track ░░░░░░░░ in January just 27 ░░░░░░░░ the country was headed ░░░░░░░░ the right direction Joe ░░░░░░░░ banking good numbers here ░░░░░░░░ s just such dis ░░░░░░░░ what s going on ░░░░░░░░ Texas overnight Maybe we ░░░░░░░░ majoring on the minor ░░░░░░░░ at these and go ░░░░░░░░ these polls wrong The ░░░░░░░░ poll and some of ░░░░░░░░ other polls state polls ░░░░░░░░ were wrong Jonathan Lemire ░░░░░░░░ National polls weren t ░░░░░░░░ points off If you ░░░░░░░░ at it The National ░░░░░░░░ weren t that far ░░░░░░░░ It s usually the ░░░░░░░░ polls that are outliers ░░░░░░░░ have seen quite a ░░░░░░░░ in the 60s Some ░░░░░░░░ the 50s There s ░░░░░░░░ varying degree Every one ░░░░░░░░ them is over 50 ░░░░░░░░ right track wrong track ░░░░░░░░ from this Harvard Harris ░░░░░░░░ has jumped nearly 20 ░░░░░░░░ I m a skeptic ░░░░░░░░ beat the crowd early ░░░░░░░░ tweeted I probably back ░░░░░░░░ early October of last ░░░░░░░░ I don t believe ░░░░░░░░ polls and I didn ░░░░░░░░ believe any of those ░░░░░░░░ were saying Biden was ░░░░░░░░ far ahead In this ░░░░░░░░ something is happening out ░░░░░░░░ that seems to be ░░░░░░░░ different than what the ░░░░░░░░ GOP caucus is thinking ░░░░░░░░ doing Yeah Joe certainly ░░░░░░░░ and I have had ░░░░░░░░ share of poll skepticism ░░░░░░░░ are right to focus ░░░░░░░░ the right track wrong ░░░░░░░░ things We haven t ░░░░░░░░ the nation feel this ░░░░░░░░ in a long time ░░░░░░░░ are seeing good numbers ░░░░░░░░ President Biden A range ░░░░░░░░ between low 50s and ░░░░░░░░ one 62 which is ░░░░░░░░ remarkable number Higher than ░░░░░░░░ predecessor obtained during his ░░░░░░░░ I think the big ░░░░░░░░ stuff as we know ░░░░░░░░ there s a sense ░░░░░░░░ optimism The vaccine rollout ░░░░░░░░ been successful We have ░░░░░░░░ Americans now more than ░░░░░░░░ of adult Americans have ░░░░░░░░ fully vaccinated the White ░░░░░░░░ is on track to ░░░░░░░░ its goal of 70 ░░░░░░░░ adult Americans to having ░░░░░░░░ least one shot by ░░░░░░░░ next patriotic holiday July ░░░░░░░░ It s fits and ░░░░░░░░ There s questions as ░░░░░░░░ what further federal intervention ░░░░░░░░ economy needs to be ░░░░░░░░ Those are the big ░░░░░░░░ A sense of normalcy ░░░░░░░░ sense the country is ░░░░░░░░ to look like it ░░░░░░░░ again pre pandemic Not ░░░░░░░░ in terms of the ░░░░░░░░ but also in terms ░░░░░░░░ the leadership from the ░░░░░░░░ House That s something ░░░░░░░░ West Wing aides have ░░░░░░░░ zeros in on America ░░░░░░░░ tired at the end ░░░░░░░░ the Trump Administration It ░░░░░░░░ looking to think less ░░░░░░░░ the president to have

this the ░░░░░░░░ investigation reporter There isn ░░░░░░░░ any indication There probably ░░░░░░░░ t any hope of ░░░░░░░░ happening either From China ░░░░░░░░ perspective they did their ░░░░░░░░ with the W H ░░░░░░░░ Join study that released ░░░░░░░░ report suggesting that the ░░░░░░░░ leak was extremely unlikely ░░░░░░░░ China s view not ░░░░░░░░ did the virus not ░░░░░░░░ in a lab in ░░░░░░░░ they don t believe ░░░░░░░░ it started in China ░░░░░░░░ all If there is ░░░░░░░░ to be mounting pressure ░░░░░░░░ China to have the ░░░░░░░░ on the ground U ░░░░░░░░ Scientists come to look ░░░░░░░░ the records look at ░░░░░░░░ databases look at any ░░░░░░░░ audits we can expect ░░░░░░░░ would be a discussion ░░░░░░░░ resip resip indication China ░░░░░░░░ fighting back This belief ░░░░░░░░ the World Health Organization ░░░░░░░░ to look elsewhere at ░░░░░░░░ labs at other facilities ░░░░░░░░ other countries In particular ░░░░░░░░ the U S Nothing ░░░░░░░░ changed in that position ░░░░░░░░ China s perspective except ░░░░░░░░ now this lab leak ░░░░░░░░ has what we can ░░░░░░░░ a mainstream variant with ░░░░░░░░ U S Intelligence community ░░░░░░░░ having 90 days to ░░░░░░░░ to come up with ░░░░░░░░ That too is going ░░░░░░░░ be a challenge The ░░░░░░░░ gathering capabilities on the ░░░░░░░░ here in China are ░░░░░░░░ what they used to ░░░░░░░░ President Biden is likely ░░░░░░░░ to be relying on ░░░░░░░░ partners to try to ░░░░░░░░ up with something that ░░░░░░░░ help steer things in ░░░░░░░░ better direction Do you ░░░░░░░░ any reporting on this ░░░░░░░░ variant that we are

12 years The leader ░░░░░░░░ an opposition party announced ░░░░░░░░ would work with opposition ░░░░░░░░ to build an alternative ░░░░░░░░ to force Netanyahu to ░░░░░░░░ office For more on ░░░░░░░░ let s bring in ░░░░░░░░ correspondent Matt Bradley What ░░░░░░░░ the latest The big ░░░░░░░░ here is that after ░░░░░░░░ elections in two years ░░░░░░░░ Israeli opposition to Benjamin ░░░░░░░░ has finally gotten their ░░░░░░░░ together They are posing ░░░░░░░░ real challenge tjamin Netanyahu ░░░░░░░░ s longest serving prime ░░░░░░░░ He has been in ░░░░░░░░ 12 years That s ░░░░░░░░ we heard from him ░░░░░░░░ night as this plan ░░░░░░░░ coming together Guys the ░░░░░░░░ for this new coalition ░░░░░░░░ are going furiously right ░░░░░░░░ They ran into the ░░░░░░░░ hours of the morning ░░░░░░░░ are going on today ░░░░░░░░ have until Wednesday to ░░░░░░░░ this coalition government Benjamin ░░░░░░░░ big friend of President ░░░░░░░░ he had a television ░░░░░░░░ conference kind of like ░░░░░░░░ news conference kind of ░░░░░░░░ temper tantrum last night ░░░░░░░░ called this new coalition ░░░░░░░░ an opportunistic government a ░░░░░░░░ of capitulation a government ░░░░░░░░ fraud a government of ░░░░░░░░ He even compared the ░░░░░░░░ coalition to Assad s ░░░░░░░░ in Syria and those ░░░░░░░░ run Iran Why is ░░░░░░░░ that Benjamin Netanyahu is ░░░░░░░░ sensitive about this It ░░░░░░░░ not just that he ░░░░░░░░ t want to leave ░░░░░░░░ after all these years ░░░░░░░░ the prime minister It ░░░░░░░░ also because he is ░░░░░░░░ literally fighting for his ░░░░░░░░ life or rather his ░░░░░░░░ He faces three charges ░░░░░░░░ corruption in bribery breach ░░░░░░░░ trust and fraud If ░░░░░░░░ is removed from the ░░░░░░░░ and he was indicted ░░░░░░░░ these last year he ░░░░░░░░ open himself up to ░░░░░░░░ a lot of legal ░░░░░░░░ He could as Israel ░░░░░░░░ longest serving prime minister ░░░░░░░░ go to jail which ░░░░░░░░ be rather shocking All ░░░░░░░░ this is going on ░░░░░░░░ the conflict in Gaza ░░░░░░░░ 11 day conflict that ░░░░░░░░ wrapped up Negotiations for ░░░░░░░░ more permanent cease fire ░░░░░░░░ ongoing Egypt is leading ░░░░░░░░ That s running in ░░░░░░░░ background alongside the rise ░░░░░░░░ Joe Biden in the ░░░░░░░░ States I mentioned before ░░░░░░░░ Netanyahu is a close ░░░░░░░░ of President Trump Joe ░░░░░░░░ he showed that the ░░░░░░░░ States isn t necessarily ░░░░░░░░ to be sticking in ░░░░░░░░ s camp There was ░░░░░░░░ but perceptible shifts towards ░░░░░░░░ left from the Biden ░░░░░░░░ especially when compared to ░░░░░░░░ previous U S Presidents ░░░░░░░░ you look at the ░░░░░░░░ in Israel it looks ░░░░░░░░ if you squint as ░░░░░░░░ there s going to ░░░░░░░░ a real changing of ░░░░░░░░ guard on the Israeli ░░░░░░░░ conflict If the U ░░░░░░░░ Changes and the Israeli ░░░░░░░░ changes If this is ░░░░░░░░ beginning of the end ░░░░░░░░ Benjamin Netanyahu it is ░░░░░░░░ not the beginning of ░░░░░░░░ end for the Israeli ░░░░░░░░ wing This is a ░░░░░░░░

░░░░░░░░ historic event Never happened ░░░░░░░░ The American people deserve ░░░░░░░░ honest independent evaluation to ░░░░░░░░ us what happened to ░░░░░░░░ to the bottom of ░░░░░░░░ You can t do ░░░░░░░░ just by the Congress ░░░░░░░░ by committees It has ░░░░░░░░ be a 9 11 ░░░░░░░░ commission independent of the ░░░░░░░░ half Republican half Democrat ░░░░░░░░ s why we need ░░░░░░░░ That s what I ░░░░░░░░ the Senate failed in ░░░░░░░░ a couple of days ░░░░░░░░ I think it s ░░░░░░░░ that they did not ░░░░░░░░ Republicans did not put ░░░░░░░░ interest of this country ░░░░░░░░ of their own Republican ░░░░░░░░ partisan issues and Donald ░░░░░░░░ Mr Secretary like Barbara ░░░░░░░░ myself you have worked ░░░░░░░░ with many of these ░░░░░░░░ former colleagues of yours ░░░░░░░░ of Barbara and of ░░░░░░░░ These are people that ░░░░░░░░ were on the same ░░░░░░░░ of a lot of ░░░░░░░░ getting to the bottom ░░░░░░░░ many things especially Barbara ░░░░░░░░ I were on the ░░░░░░░░ reform and Oversight Committee ░░░░░░░░ Can you imagine in ░░░░░░░░ time any party but ░░░░░░░░ our former my former ░░░░░░░░ least Republican Party killing ░░░░░░░░ commission to figure out ░░░░░░░░ happened when there was ░░░░░░░░ attempt at an insurrection ░░░░░░░░ January 6 No It ░░░░░░░░ really irresponsible It s ░░░░░░░░ The interests of this ░░░░░░░░ was on display here ░░░░░░░░ was the only issue ░░░░░░░░ should have been forefront ░░░░░░░░ each of the senators ░░░░░░░░ voted This is not ░░░░░░░░ Republicans not Democrats It ░░░░░░░░ about an American issue ░░░░░░░░ the hell happened They ░░░░░░░░ Theymiserably I hope it ░░░░░░░░ back I don t ░░░░░░░░ what procedures the Democrats ░░░░░░░░ has to obviously try ░░░░░░░░ regain some vote or ░░░░░░░░ commission that they can ░░░░░░░░ back together It was ░░░░░░░░ dark day in the ░░░░░░░░ States Senate They failed ░░░░░░░░ country Barbara it s ░░░░░░░░ we showed a clip ░░░░░░░░ saying there wavote are ░░░░░░░░ in Georgia They think ░░░░░░░░ was rigged because that ░░░░░░░░ a message that the ░░░░░░░░ and the president was ░░░░░░░░ for six months Now ░░░░░░░░ find ourselves in a ░░░░░░░░ where there was an ░░░░░░░░ to have a bipartisan ░░░░░░░░ to study this Instead ░░░░░░░░ hear from Republicans for ░░░░░░░░ next two years about ░░░░░░░░ Pelosi s biased investigation ░░░░░░░░ Chuck Schumer s biased ░░░░░░░░ It seems again that ░░░░░░░░ burn down the village ░░░░░░░░ then you complain about ░░░░░░░░ after affect of it ░░░░░░░░ you know from our ░░░░░░░░ documents tell the story ░░░░░░░░ of who subpoenas them ░░░░░░░░ it s phone records ░░░░░░░░ travel records The records ░░░░░░░░ people who have been ░░░░░░░░ I would of course ░░░░░░░░ is Memorial Day Brian ░░░░░░░░ lying in Arlington national ░░░░░░░░ because he was fighting ░░░░░░░░ protect all of these ░░░░░░░░ of Congress I would ░░░░░░░░ to ask all Americans ░░░░░░░░ say a prayer for ░░░░░░░░ and his beautiful mother ░░░░░░░░ his partner Sandra who ░░░░░░░░ so powerful in speaking ░░░░░░░░ the senators about why ░░░░░░░░ needed that commission It ░░░░░░░░ because they understood that ░░░░░░░░ can happen again that ░░░░░░░░ is still a real ░░░░░░░░ The people who were ░░░░░░░░ that day the people ░░░░░░░░ attacked Brian with bear ░░░░░░░░ and as he was ░░░░░░░░ for hours hand to ░░░░░░░░ combat they were Trump ░░░░░░░░ They were very longstanding ░░░░░░░░ supporters The same thing ░░░░░░░░ the officer who accompanied ░░░░░░░░ who was assaulted with ░░░░░░░░ own stun gun 12 ░░░░░░░░ in the back of ░░░░░░░░ neck traumatic brain injury ░░░░░░░░ had a heart attack ░░░░░░░░ almost died Daniel Rodriguez ░░░░░░░░ attacked him and who ░░░░░░░░ charged with his assault ░░░░░░░░ a known Trump rally ░░░░░░░░ very active in Trump ░░░░░░░░ They don t want ░░░░░░░░ hear that That s ░░░░░░░░ reality Here you have ░░░░░░░░ of these Republicans who ░░░░░░░░ something else happened there ░░░░░░░░ in fact this was ░░░░░░░░ Trump inspired mob that ░░░░░░░░ down there that organized ░░░░░░░░ months Scott Mcfarland of ░░░░░░░░ is doing wonderful investigative ░░░░░░░░ As you may know ░░░░░░░░ was a former staffer ░░░░░░░░ the government reform committee ░░░░░░░░ we both served He ░░░░░░░░ going meticulously through these ░░░░░░░░ documents Even those documents ░░░░░░░░ t show all the ░░░░░░░░ connections that these people ░░░░░░░░ That s not part ░░░░░░░░ the criminal process what ░░░░░░░░ politics were We need ░░░░░░░░ know that because of ░░░░░░░░ domestic terrorism problem that ░░░░░░░░ very real That Chris ░░░░░░░░ the FBI director that ░░░░░░░░ served with with John ░░░░░░░░ he told us that ░░░░░░░░ a threat That s ░░░░░░░░ we need this commission ░░░░░░░░ way or the other ░░░░░░░░ this commission or a ░░░░░░░░ investigation in Congress These ░░░░░░░░ are going to come ░░░░░░░░ As you know from ░░░░░░░░ investigations we did when ░░░░░░░░ try to stop the ░░░░░░░░ it may drag it ░░░░░░░░ longer but the truth ░░░░░░░░ out Hopefully they will ░░░░░░░░ would normally ignore an ░░░░░░░░ like qanon conference When ░░░░░░░░ s attended by a ░░░░░░░░ national security advisor who ░░░░░░░░ for a military coup ░░░░░░░░ the U S it ░░░░░░░░ worth noting While attending ░░░░░░░░ conference of far right ░░░░░░░░ supporters this weekend an ░░░░░░░░ asked Trump former national ░░░░░░░░ advisor Michael Flynn why ░░░░░░░░ happened in Myanmar can ░░░░░░░░ happen here He said ░░░░░░░░ should happen here A ░░░░░░░░ the military seized power ░░░░░░░░ February and detained the ░░░░░░░░ s democratically elected leaders ░░░░░░░░ false allegations of fraud ░░░░░░░░ this does bear repeating ░░░░░░░░ m glad we are ░░░░░░░░ pictures of general Flynn ░░░░░░░░ the White House five ░░░░░░░░ ago four years ago ░░░░░░░░ just actually a little ░░░░░░░░ four years ago He ░░░░░░░░ national security advisor Before ░░░░░░░░ very respected career in ░░░░░░░░ military Intel Now he ░░░░░░░░ calling for a military ░░░░░░░░ in the United States ░░░░░░░░ reminder again that we ░░░░░░░░ hearing calls like this ░░░░░░░░ those who think that ░░░░░░░░ are settled because Donald ░░░░░░░░ is no longer president ░░░░░░░░ the United States they ░░░░░░░░ whistling past the political ░░░░░░░░ We still seem to ░░░░░░░░ in the thick of ░░░░░░░░ madness Absolutely Obviously you ░░░░░░░░ general Flynn is not ░░░░░░░░ mainstream figure even within ░░░░░░░░ Republican Party We ought ░░░░░░░░ pay attention to what ░░░░░░░░ like him are saying ░░░░░░░░ is not entirely outside ░░░░░░░░ what the Republican Party ░░░░░░░░ become under Trump Sure ░░░░░░░░ s not a lot ░░░░░░░░ people calling for a ░░░░░░░░ coup right now About ░░░░░░░░ of Republicans in a ░░░░░░░░ poll said they supported ░░░░░░░░ actions of the mob ░░░░░░░░ attacks Congress on January ░░░░░░░░ and about the same ░░░░░░░░ say that they endorse ░░░░░░░░ crazy stuff the qanon ░░░░░░░░ theorists are saying It ░░░░░░░░ less the party that ░░░░░░░░ once join and more ░░░░░░░░ authoritarian parties in places ░░░░░░░░ Poland or Hungary or ░░░░░░░░ This is deeply alarming ░░░░░░░░ see before in plain ░░░░░░░░ Republicans are plotting to ░░░░░░░░ the outcome of the ░░░░░░░░ and 2024 elections You ░░░░░░░░ you had a segment ░░░░░░░░ about the voter suppression ░░░░░░░░ which is advancing in ░░░░░░░░ and advancing across the ░░░░░░░░ You see that the ░░░░░░░░ elected officials who stood ░░░░░░░░ for an honest count ░░░░░░░░ year in places like ░░░░░░░░ and Georgia purged by ░░░░░░░░ Republican Party You are ░░░░░░░░ redistricting going on The ░░░░░░░░ going out to Republican ░░░░░░░░ of Congress with the ░░░░░░░░ of Liz Cheney is ░░░░░░░░ cannot resist the big ░░░░░░░░ My concern is what ░░░░░░░░ that mean for 2024 ░░░░░░░░ if there s a ░░░░░░░░ election again What if ░░░░░░░░ once again refuse to ░░░░░░░░ a democratic victory I ░░░░░░░░ that even more Republican ░░░░░░░░ of Congress will be ░░░░░░░░ not to certify Electoral ░░░░░░░░ results Already you had ░░░░░░░░ majority of the House ░░░░░░░░ caucus voting in that ░░░░░░░░ including their entire current ░░░░░░░░ This is an alarm ░░░░░░░░ ringing in the night ░░░░░░░░ American democracy This is ░░░░░░░░ that s really concerning ░░░░░░░░ Mr Secretary let s ░░░░░░░░ about whether you are ░░░░░░░░ those alarm bells for ░░░░░░░░ democracy as well We ░░░░░░░░ Ann Applebaum on a ░░░░░░░░ bit here She wrote ░░░░░░░░ book Now she s ░░░░░░░░ about what s happening ░░░░░░░░ instance in Hungary That ░░░░░░░░ is a one party ░░░░░░░░ Democratic institutions have been ░░░░░░░░ away at How deep ░░░░░░░░ your concern that that ░░░░░░░░ happen here Real concern ░░░░░░░░ think everyone who has ░░░░░░░░ here in the last ░░░░░░░░ minutes has referenced it ░░░░░░░░ does a poll for ░░░░░░░░ last 16 years They ░░░░░░░░ the leading 15 institutions ░░░░░░░░ this country and they ░░░░░░░░ the question of the ░░░░░░░░ people how much trust ░░░░░░░░ confidence do you have ░░░░░░░░ each of these institutions ░░░░░░░░ are the institutions that ░░░░░░░░ a society together Organized ░░░░░░░░ education journalism Congress politics ░░░░░░░░ only the military rates ░░░░░░░░ the low 70s Everyone ░░░░░░░░ except small business over ░░░░░░░░ everyone else is in ░░░░░░░░ 20s 30s teens Congress ░░░░░░░░ in single digits What ░░░░░░░░ means is that our ░░░░░░░░ is losing confidence and ░░░░░░░░ in our institutions in ░░░░░░░░ governing institutions that really ░░░░░░░░ the catalyst of our ░░░░░░░░ When that happens then ░░░░░░░░ course what s going ░░░░░░░░ happen politically is going ░░░░░░░░ be a reflection of ░░░░░░░░ We don t trust ░░░░░░░░ You can t trust ░░░░░░░░ It breaks down further ░░░░░░░░ that Then you have ░░░░░░░░ like Trump and those ░░░░░░░░ support him who use ░░░░░░░░ and use this to ░░░░░░░░ the country further and ░░░░░░░░ the country further This ░░░░░░░░ a real threat Not ░░░░░░░░ We know what the ░░░░░░░░ and Chinese are doing ░░░░░░░░ real threat is internal ░░░░░░░░ is so important Only ░░░░░░░░ independent commission with respected ░░░░░░░░ commissioners not under the ░░░░░░░░ of the Congress or ░░░░░░░░ political people can start ░░░░░░░░ break through this and ░░░░░░░░ the American people some ░░░░░░░░ answers because the future ░░░░░░░░ thinkjeopardy I have always ░░░░░░░░ an optimist but I ░░░░░░░░ a realist I see ░░░░░░░░ signs out there Certainly ░░░░░░░░ the Texas legislature is ░░░░░░░░ other legislatures This is ░░░░░░░░ good for our country ░░░░░░░░ better wake up Congresswoman ░░░░░░░░ Glaude is with us ░░░░░░░░ has a question for ░░░░░░░░ Congresswoman it s great ░░░░░░░░ see you I want ░░░░░░░░ ask a question In ░░░░░░░░ of the five alarm ░░░░░░░░ with regards to democracy ░░░░░░░░ Langford after not voting ░░░░░░░░ to democracy Senator Langford ░░░░░░░░ her not voting for ░░░░░░░░ commission tweeted a lot ░░░░░░░░ stuff was happening in ░░░░░░░░ Senate already Can you ░░░░░░░░ to the American public ░░░░░░░░ this cannot happen at ░░░░░░░░ level of Senate committees ░░░░░░░░ congressional committees or house ░░░░░░░░ so we can understand ░░░░░░░░ scale and depth of ░░░░░░░░ problem and why we ░░░░░░░░ such a commission The ░░░░░░░░ that are already being ░░░░░░░░ in Congress is really ░░░░░░░░ how do we harden ░░░░░░░░ Capitol so an assault ░░░░░░░░ t happen again so ░░░░░░░░ can t have like ░░░░░░░░ terrorist attack on the ░░░░░░░░ Building We re looking ░░░░░░░░ why did we have ░░░░░░░░ fire in my house ░░░░░░░░ the building not good ░░░░░░░░ you still have to ░░░░░░░░ at the arsonist The ░░░░░░░░ cases are looking at ░░░░░░░░ people and what they ░░░░░░░░ And that has to ░░░░░░░░ through all of the ░░░░░░░░ of the criminal process ░░░░░░░░ get everything just right ░░░░░░░░ a reasonable doubt What ░░░░░░░░ congressional investigation or what ░░░░░░░░ independent csel would do ░░░░░░░░ look at the whole ░░░░░░░░ tick threat to the ░░░░░░░░ people And often I ░░░░░░░░ to point out to ░░░░░░░░ Brian sicknick and his ░░░░░░░░ emphasized this to Republican ░░░░░░░░ Brian was a remember ░░░░░░░░ loved you guys he ░░░░░░░░ for Donald Trump This ░░░░░░░░ t Republican versus Democrat ░░░░░░░░ s really the rule ░░░░░░░░ law and backing the ░░░░░░░░ versus letting these insurrectionists ░░░░░░░░ this whole culture that ░░░░░░░░ going on continue So ░░░░░░░░ officer personio he was ░░░░░░░░ Republican As those of ░░░░░░░░ who worked on Capitol ░░░░░░░░ know these Capitol Hill ░░░░░░░░ often lean center right ░░░░░░░░ were there fighting to ░░░░░░░░ the members of the ░░░░░░░░ He said something very ░░░░░░░░ to them I don ░░░░░░░░ think a lot of ░░░░░░░░ guys appreciate how dangerous ░░░░░░░░ was that day because ░░░░░░░░ did our jobs so ░░░░░░░░ And they did It ░░░░░░░░ hours we still don ░░░░░░░░ know That s why ░░░░░░░░ needs to be public ░░░░░░░░ from people like that ░░░░░░░░ and Harry Dunn who ░░░░░░░░ all kinds of racial ░░░░░░░░ from people who were ░░░░░░░░ the front line and ░░░░░░░░ going out even when ░░░░░░░░ were injured to fight ░░░░░░░░ mob back that wanted ░░░░░░░░ come in and hang ░░░░░░░░ Pence We haven t ░░░░░░░░ from Mike Pence When ░░░░░░░░ we ever going to ░░░░░░░░ from Mike Pence And ░░░░░░░░ of the threats made ░░░░░░░░ him from November on ░░░░░░░░ him to you know ░░░░░░░░ along with this insurrection ░░░░░░░░ he said no But ░░░░░░░░ was back and forth ░░░░░░░░ the White House Joe ░░░░░░░░ know and all of ░░░░░░░░ know his subpoenas should ░░░░░░░░ already gone out from ░░░░░░░░ Subpoenas themselves to bring ░░░░░░░░ documents are not partisan ░░░░░░░░ can still hand it ░░░░░░░░ to an independent commission ░░░░░░░░ all of this material ░░░░░░░░ in the hands of ░░░░░░░░ who you know whether ░░░░░░░░ Powell all of the ░░░░░░░░ who were going in ░░░░░░░░ telling the president about ░░░░░░░░ they could do this ░░░░░░░░ those records are there ░░░░░░░░ White House on that ░░░░░░░░ saying do something get ░░░░░░░░ in front of the ░░░░░░░░ We don t have ░░░░░░░░ yet because none of ░░░░░░░░ bodies looking at it ░░░░░░░░ are looking at that ░░░░░░░░ that s not a ░░░░░░░░ agenda that s telling ░░░░░░░░ American people we have ░░░░░░░░ know the whole picture ░░░░░░░░ this never happens again ░░░░░░░░ getting everyone to understand ░░░░░░░░ nature of this domestic ░░░░░░░░ threat that is now ░░░░░░░░ to our states As ░░░░░░░░ we have these threats ░░░░░░░░ Republican officials in Georgia ░░░░░░░░ Arizona because they won ░░░░░░░░ adopt the big lie ░░░░░░░░ when you keep lying ░░░░░░░░ people for two months ░░░░░░░░ them these things are ░░░░░░░░ what happened on that ░░░░░░░░ could still happen again ░░░░░░░░ the threats of the ░░░░░░░░ explains to the

question ░░░░░░░░ I m so glad ░░░░░░░░ showed that with Michael ░░░░░░░░ and Michael Mel kin ░░░░░░░░ s the key moment ░░░░░░░░ financial firms Goldman Sachs ░░░░░░░░ fated Lehman brothers all ░░░░░░░░ public in the 70s ░░░░░░░░ and 90s and transformed ░░░░░░░░ capitals and capitalism at ░░░░░░░░ from partnerships and companies ░░░░░░░░ shareholder capitalism which means ░░░░░░░░ could bet other people ░░░░░░░░ pln It meant risks ░░░░░░░░ put on to the ░░░░░░░░ sectors and gains were ░░░░░░░░ If you lose money ░░░░░░░░ federal government could bail ░░░░░░░░ out If you make ░░░░░░░░ of
