to really do all of this and they just keep escalating and it is so difficult to watch because, at one point he says . it s gs. assaulted, battered, punched, kick, tased, pepper sprayed. it is very troubling when you think about tyre, as his family says ways at most 150 pounds. so it is hard to watch, alison, and especially at the end of the video when he is calling for his mother. he yells out to her three times and then you never hear tyre nichols say another word anymore on that video. tyre died three days later. and tonight s mother is calling for a peaceful protest tomorrow. i want to bring in democratic congressman steve of tennessee, and michael thomas of the memphis city council. thank you both for being here. councilwoman, i want to start with you, what is the mood in memphis tonight? the mood is pretty ominous, alison and i will be real and transparent that there is a lot of things that are unknown as a leader. we are wanting and encouraging and supporting pea
like for the people of palestine ohio who are dealing with toxic chemicals. tonight a woman who grew up in the middle of a different environmental disaster has a message for the people of palestine. what she says she need to do they need to do starting now. and how would you like that travel the world for a year, all set in confidence, and see all of the historic sites like the taj mahal, machu pitch ooh, the great wall of china, for the bargt price of $30,000. but there is a catch, we ll tell you all about it and see if our panelists are game to try it. all right. we ve got a lot to talk about tonight. our expert criminal attorney john tay mills and patrick whether or not is an expert on a different side, of course. natasha albert, and jersey shore lover john. okay, i want to start with you about the trial, it was very
