after there was rebuttal of president biden s call for cease-fire. there are reports of possibly by tomorrow. and next week is the year anniversary of george floyd s death. family finally got to see video after filing suit. it was said he died from his car hitting a tree. the video appears to show him being punch, choked and tasered. joining me now is garrett, ashley, joe, and brendan. garrett, first to you. you were in the room questioning the speaker. we are about to hear from mccarthy starting his presentation on the hill. what is happening today, what is next and what are the prospects in the senate? i think the 35 votes in favor of this commission coming from republicans surprised republican leaders. they thought the numbers would be a little lower. they hoped to keep a jail break that would have encouraged senate members to vote in favor of it as well. you heard speaker pelosi voting for truth and justice as she is calling it. i was talking to kevin mccarthy and ask
