Almost daily now, that have so many asking when will this endless cycle of Violence End . Lets start with that terrifying ordeal playing out at the Cross Roads of The World, Times Square. Cnns Evan Mcmorrissantoro is there with more. Tell us more about what we know, the circumstances, the victims, everything. Reporter well, fred, the victims really are just the kinds of people who are down in Times Square on a Saturday Afternoon in broad daylight. This happened yesterday right around 5 00. Lets watch that video again. It really is the best way of understanding what this looked like. Its a crowded street, one of the most crowded streets in the city, usually. To put this in perspective, this is the corner where the theater that plays the Lion King On Broadway is, its a popular spot with tourists, it was a disagreement between people who were not involved with the ones who got shot and three Innocent Bystanders were hit including that 4yearold girl who went to the hospital to get surgery on her leg where she got hit. The other two people were a tourist from Rhode Island that was in town to see the statue of liberty, that was closed and she came down to Times Square to look around, and a woman from new jersey, who came down to look at the sights and the lights. Police released this image of someone they say they want to talk to in relation to this incident. Theyre still actively investigating it. Its just moment that really strikes at the heart of what things can be like when you see this gun violence. People are standing where they should be standing, out on a Saturday Afternoon, enjoying themselves in Times Square, when bullets rang out and hit innocent people, fred. Ask then, evan, New York has seen crime and shootings soar, particularly in the last year. What are police saying about that . Reporter well, thats right. Were in a moment here in new York City where we are trying to get back to normal. Weve been hit, obviously, by the pandemic and now were trying to reopen, and were seeing this rise in crime. Its making a lot of people very, very nervous. Let me show you a quick graphic to explain this a little bit. Look at that number from April 2020 to april 2021. 166 rise in gun violence. You might say to yourself, look, all right, April 2020 was the height of the pandemic. Maybe thats not a time maybe thats not a great comparison. Well, theres a way of looking at this number. Between january and march 30th of 2021, nearly 300 shootings in new York City. The police are absolutely frustrated by this. They blame politicians, saying that basically people in the city need to wake up and change some policies to get at this gun violence, and try to prevent it. Here is the commissioner of police from the Press Conference last night just after the shooting here in Times Square. How many more kids do we need to be shot before we realize that bad policies have consequences, and we need action, and we need policies regarding laws to have consequences . So, look, as i mentioned, just about 24 hours after that shooting, things are pretty much back to normal here in Times Square, rain is on its way, things emptying out, but theres a fear the shooting could have a longterm impact on the city reopening. Evan mcmorrissantoro, thank you very much. The risk of Coronavirus Spread has been reduced substantially here in the united states. With more than a third of the population now fully vaccinated. Dr. Gottlieb believes its time for some places to start lifting indoor mask requirements. Dr. Anthony fauci agrees, adding that the u. S. Can avoid a future Case Surge if Vaccination Goals are met. The fact that we have vaccines right now, chuck, is really a game changer. I mean, if we get which we will, to the goals that the president has established, namely if we get 70 of the people vaccinated by the 4th of july, namely one single dose, and even more thereafter, you may see blips. But if we handle them well its unlikely that youll see the kind of surge that we saw in the late fall and the early winter. All right, despite the push to get more shots in arms, the Vaccination Rate has dropped by more than 30 in the u. S. Over the last two weeks. President biden worked to reassure skeptical americans yesterday. You know, we cant let up now. The vaccines are safe. I promise you, theyre safe. They work. Everybody in america 16 years old and older is now eligible to get vaccinated for free, now. Joining me now to discuss is dr. Zeke emmanuel, a former obama white House Health Policy adviser, also the author of the book which country has The Worlds best health care. Doctor, so good to see you. Nice to be here with you, fred. So ive read ive read that netherlands is the answer to your title, but we still have to read the book to find out why. Why the netherlands is doing it right. So talk to me about your thoughts, do you believe Mask Restrictions ought to be lifted everywhere, are we there yet . Well, were not there yet, but a third of the population, and vaccinated, were not quite there, look at other countries like israel, youre really pushing to over 50 when you can really feel like normalcy has arrived and returned. With only a third of the population fully vaccinated, i dont think were quite can be quite comfortable. And then also in other areas where they havent gotten a lot of vaccine, where the Vaccine Hesitancy is a lot higher, it should be slower because you dont have as many people vaccinated. But i think were moving in the right direction. What worries me is what you mentioned, the drop in the number of people getting vaccinated. Why do you think that is, by the way . Whats your theory . Well, i think we got this big surge of people who are very eager to get it, like myself, and really want that vaccine and want that protection, and then i think there are probably two groups waiting behind, one is the never vaccers, something like 20 of the population, which is unfortunate. And then there are the people where its not convenient, i dont know if i want to take a day off of work when i get sick because of the vaccine, if i get sick because of the vaccine. You know, people sort of mouthing the lines, well, we need more proof it was rushed through. Let me just say to the people listening, over 1. 2 billion doses have been delivered around The World. We have people now out more than six months from being vaccinated. We know a fair amount about this vaccine. We dont know everything. But we do know a lot. And this is very safe. Certainly much safer than covid. And its the kind of thing that you do for yourself so that you can get back to normal. You can have that sort of burden off you. You do it for your family, you do it for your community. And this idea that it was rushed through, or that we dont know how safe it is, we have enough data, and it wasnt rushed through. It was done quickly, but very, very thoroughly in the usual manner of careful examination of whether this thing is safe, and whether it works. And you just wrote a piece in the Wall Street Journal really emphasizing that were living in a global world, right, i mean, calling on the u. S. To begin exporting the pfizer, Moderna And Johnson johnson vaccines right now, saying that Stopping Outbreaks elsewhere would also serve u. S. Interests, uncontrolled spread of the virus breeds variants, which can come to the u. S. I mean, after all, isnt it everywhere . Because people are everywhere. Fred, youre the expert. Youve just summarized the argument perfectly. You know, the fact is that we do have a Vaccine Anywhere would be a problem. Im not sure why theres an echo. I can hear you okay. Well, the fact is that we do have to prevent outbreaks in other places, especially latin america. We have 65 Million doses waiting for americans. We have spare doses that we can send overseas and help other people in other places in The World that are experiencing severe covid. Thank you, dr. Zeke emmanuel, for hanging in there. We got a little audio problem. It did just crop up but we heard you loud and clear even though its been difficult for you to perhaps hear us. Thank you so much. Good to see you. Thank you, take care. All right. Well, between the looming Eviction Crisis and the still struggling u. S. Economy the Covid Pandemic has underscored the importance of organizations who help americas most vulnerable. And on this Mothers Day the nonprofit Freedom And Fashion wants to make sure mothers in womens shelters are not forgotten. The group has spent the weekend delivering Gift Bags to shelters and homes in Southern California. Cnns Paul Vercammen joins me now from one of the stops in pasadena. So, paul, whats going on . In just a few Moments Laverne Delgado is delivering a Gift Bag filled with great Personal Care Products for women and other things. Let me show you the reaction. When we were at Alexandria House in Los Angeles the other Day Mimi and others got their bags and these moms are euphoric to receive a gift. Many of them had been in shelters or were homeless. Lets listen to what she had to say after getting her bag. To be a single mother of three kids, and you do everything by yourself. So to get this treat, it feels amazing. Its like we dont get this often. You know, i like gold and to have this on Mothers Day. It make my day. Mimi referred to the gold, because gold is her favorite color. Were going to try something live. Laverne delgado is here as we speak and shes going to deliver another one of her bags. What inspired you to do this . Well, being a mother is really hard. Im not one, but i appreciate them. And im a survivor as well. I just want to bless all the women who are working so hard, especially during a pandemic to bring themselves and kids out and through this crisis. Well tell more of your story while you go ahead and knock. What she told us is she was a sexual Assault Survivor and Domestic Violence survivor. She estimates that she is going to drop off more than 700 of these bags this Mothers Day weekend, this is all Freedom And Fashion, and many of these, as i said, are Personal Care Products, but someones going to open the door here. Hello. Happy Mothers Day. How are you .

Race officials say Medina Spirit tested positive for an elevated level of a drug that could give him an unfair edge. Test results show the colt had more than twice the legal limit of the drug which is an antiinflammatory after the race. That trainer now vowing to appeal those results and fight back against the allegations. Cnns Carolyn Mano Joining us with more. Help us understand how this could happen. Reporter well, fred, good afternoon to you. I mean, testing is something that at Churchill Downs takes very seriously. The likelihood a trainer would come in and try to use a performance enhancing substance in a race this prestigious is pretty low. But with a were talking about here is a regulated, commonly used antiinflammatory drug, essentially a co when its misused it can lead to problems and mask a lot of problems. The way Bob Baffert described it to me, he said look, horses dont live in bubbles. They get exposed to a variety of substances. He maintains he did not administer this drug to the Kentucky Derby Winner and he does not know of anyone who administered this drug to the Dye Derby winner. He said he is frustrated, disappointed, he plans on fighting this, there is going to be additional testing, hes requested Dna Testing to try to get some more answers here, and she spoke with the public earlier this afternoon, and i want to play a little bit of that for you. Its disturbing. Its an injustice to the horse. I dont know whats going on in the racing right now but theres something not right, and i dont feel embarrassed, i feel like i was robbed. I do not feel safe. To train. And its getting worse. How do i, you know, move forward from this, knowing that something like this can happen, and it is just its a complete injustice, and but were going to im going to fight it tooth and nail. And fred, what bafferts alluding to is what he feels is an endemic problem within the sport that there needs to be more regulation here and there is more regulation coming from the federal level, a bill was passed in order to try to get a little bit more regulation with some of these commonly used drugs but he told me when we spoke that, you know, he welcomes a higher standard, but feels like he endures more scrutiny than most and he has won seven kentucky derbies, there are a lot of people, you know, who look at his success and are quick to point a finger but there is going to be additional testing and until that testing comes back, his horse, who went Wire To wire, is the one who is the Kentucky Derby Winner and were just going to have to see if, in fact, theres something thats going to prevent that moving forward. All right, carolyn manno, thank you so much for that. All right, coming up in the cnn newsroom, republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger compares his party to the titanic as the fight over Liz Cheneys Leadership Position gets ugly.

Kevin mccarthy is throwing his support behind Elise Stefanik to replace Liz Cheney. House republicans are poised this week to vote. Stefanik has a more moderate Voting Record than cheney, but the wyoming Lawmakers Criticism of former president trump, and cheneys attacks on republicans, who push false claims about Election Fraud have created friction with many of her gop colleagues. Everyone in leadership serves at the pleasure of the conference. And as you know there is a lot at stake. Democrats are destroying this nation. To defeat Nancy Pelosi in the socialist agenda we need to be united and that starts with leadership. Thats why we will have a vote next week, and we want to be united in looking, moving forward. Do you support Elise Stefanik for that job . Yes, i do. All right, Max Boot is a columnist for the Washington Post, and a Senior Fellow at the council on foreign relations, hes also the author of the corrosion of conservatism, why i left the right, Amanda Carpenter is a cnn political commentator, and a political columnist for the bulwark, the author of gaslighting america, why we love it when trump lies to us. Good to see both of you. So amanda, you first. You know, mccarthy was asked, and didnt even answer the question about whether the votes are there to replace cheney. So is this a done deal for cheney . And what does this all say about the direction of the gop . Let me make the strange case for optimism in this scenario, never before have we had a persona Leadership Position willing to force the conversation about the cost of trumps lies, and how it led to now the insurrection, and so i think cheney is poised to lose this post, but what makes this different is that we have someone who is willing to stand and fight. Before we had people who disagreed with trump, who just walked away. You know, Paul Ryan left his speakership, he had senators like Bob Corker and jeff flake, just decided theyre not going to run again and cheney is digging her heels in. People who are disillusioned, after seeing what happened on January 6th. Need someone to rally around. And i think Liz Cheney can be that person. You think that she has support, and perhaps just in terms of elected republicans, and that theyre just for now being silent . No, i mean, i dont think shes going to keep her position. But nationwide, republicans have been losing people, i mean, look, you had people who voted for trump in 2020, like Adam Kinzinger and Michael Wood who ran down in texas. Who, after seeing what happened on January 6th, something broke. They said, we cannot do this again, and that is where the majority of the conference was immediately after January 6th. Even Lindsey Graham standing on the senate floor. Yeah, im out. Even his strongest supporters know this in their hearts and so were going to have this conversation by what Kevin Mccarthy is doing now, by installing Elise Stefanik into leadership hes saying he wants the party to tether itself to Trump Skpits lies. There are many people who dont agree with that direction. And so let this play out. Max, listen to what republican congressman jim bank said this morning said about why cheney has to be removed from the gop leadership. The reason, chris, that you and i are talking about Liz Cheney on this Sunday Morning is the exact evidence that shes failed in her mission as the chief spokesperson of our party. We shouldnt be talking about Liz Cheney, we should be talking about pushing back against the Radical Biden Agenda and this is all a distraction from our ability to be able to do that. Shes the distraction, trump is not the Distraction Or Hasnt been the distraction . Well, republicans are clearly living in this Upside Down World where lies become the truth, and thats essentially the Reality Theyve embraced over the last four plus years. And, you know, i wish i could be as optimistic as amanda. But i just think whats happened in the last four years is that the republican party has been increasingly hostile to the truth and, in fact, to democracy itself. Where Donald Trump has steadily eroded all of the principles that the republican party used to stand for and thats why i can no longer be a republican. And i just think that, you know, people like i applaud people like Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger and others who are fighting for the republican party but i think at this point its a lost cause when 70 of republicans in a recent Cnn Poll said that Joe Biden was not legitimately elected as president. Its clear that the vast majority of the party is where Donald Trump is, which is denying reality, which is attacking the very foundations of our democracy, and thats sad for me to see, but i think thats just the reality. And the fact that Liz Cheney is being toppled for telling the truth. And Elise Stefanik is being installed for lying, thats a snapshot of where the republican party is, its a threat to american democracy and its getting worse. Amanda, those 70 that max is talking about, are they just trying to please trump, or is he simply, i guess, the instrument that these republicans are using in order to keep their own political lives alive . Well, its a little bit of chicken or The Egg thing. One, i think it comes down to is that No One has challenged trumps message. I mean, essentially what we saw after the election was a bunch of leadership republicans laying back and saying, let Donald Trump have his Day And Day and Day And Day in court. Somehow they thought once that would be settled he would go away magically. That just is never going to happen. And so there is no reset. And what i am hopeful about, that if Liz Cheney does get cut from leadership, by then shell be free to pursue the January 6th commission. She made a strong case for this in her oped. I think it would be a really good thing for democracy in restoring trust in institutions, if a number of Cheney Aligned Republicans would work with the democrats to get this passed. Theres no reason the January 6th commission cannot be passed when democrats control both houses and Joe Biden is president , if you look at the language, she said specifically no member of congress should be on this commission. You get it out of congress and then you get a number of competent, smart, professional republicans who can lay the record out with the facts about what led to January 6th. And that would be a good baseline for everyone to get on board with. So listen to Maryland Governor Larry hogan, this is what he had to say this morning. It just bothers me that you have to swear feelty to the dear leader or you get kicked out of the party. It doesnt make any sense. Its a circular Firing Squad where were attacking members of our own party instead of focusing on solving problems or standing up and having an argument that we can debate the democrats on some of the things that the biden administration is pushing through. So max, i love your thoughts on that, and its been a few years since you famously made waves with your book, the corrosion of conservatism. Many of the things that you criticized then are still happening to the party today. Yeah, its getting worse and worse, and as youre seeing with Liz Cheney, anybody who stands up to trump is getting purged from the party. Now, whats interesting here, fred, is that there was a Washington Post Story Yesterday on Liz Cheney and the fact that she found out that the National Republican Congressional Committee was actually withholding polling from its own congressional members, which shows that Donald Trump is viewed very unfavorably, even in the core districts around the country. But the republican party has to contest. Theres no question that the course theyre on is not a winning one in the country at large because trump is so unpopular, and rightfully so. Hes one of the worst President S in our history, but the problem is that all these republican members in the house, they dont care about general elections. They only care about primary elections because most of them are in gerrymandered seats. The only way they can lose is if there is somebody running to their right whos endorsed by trump. Theyre terrified of standing up to trump. What theyre doing is not in the interest of the country, but their narrow selfinterest, theyre basically trying to protect their seats because they are cowards. They will not stand up for the country or the constitution because all they care about is avoiding a primary challenger from the right. Power other policy is what im hearing you say, all right, Max Boot, Amanda Carpenter, thank you so much. Thank you. All right, were all familiar with the racist legacy of jim crow, but what about Jim Code . Well talk to w.

Looks like if i live here im single, i got some tech money, theres a lot of space. Oh, my hand. I got a white hand. There you go. We want to talk about, why do you have white hands as a Black Man in. Yeah. This is a fault the company has, if you dont give us any information, this is who we presume you to be, were saying this is okay. Weve all lived and understand the premise of jim crow, but i think the new idea is this thing called gym code. With implicit bias were creating technology that is going to disenfranchise people, particularly black and brown people who simply arent in the room when these things are being thought of. The host of United Shades w. Kamau bell joining us right now. Your expressions are better than any words. They say so much. So lets talk there it is right there. So you call Racism And Lack of representation, in s. T. E. M. , one of the biggest civil rights issues facing us today. Tell us why. Besides that one example. Yes, let me be clear, thats something thats being talked about by lots of black people in s. T. E. M. , when you look at January 6th, a lot of people who showed up to attack the center on January 6th were people given bad information by the algorithms on the internet. When you look at the black people who have s. T. E. M. Jobs and tech jobs, its really low. The system is set up that black People Cant get into that industry and the Algorithm Isnt about truth, its about engagement. We just ran that clip and we heard that word Jim Code. How do the algorithms that run so much of our lives kind of reenforce this implicit bias . Well, first of all, id encourage people to read race after technology, you have the book about this. But its the idea that just like our cities are designed, and the way in which your city looks, you can tell where the poor black people live and where the richer white people live the Internet Streets are the same way, the way in which the internet drives your attentiOn And what it drives you to. A lot of times those codes are created by white people. They want your attention, theyre not trying to get you to truth, not trying to help you, they just want your engagement. Thats not a positive thing. What did you uncover about the efforts to create more opportunities for people of color, particularly in s. T. E. M. . Well, i mean, you look at we look at the last election of Joe Biden, we were in atlanta for this episode, and so you also talk about the two senators we got out of georgia, that all happened because of the new georgia project, and a man we talk to tonight, its black people going i need to get into these s. T. E. M. Streets to counter the bad information out there. L there are a lot of Black Folks engaged, but this is a recruitment. Shes been a guest with us many times. W. Kamau bell, thank you so much. Dont miss United Shades of America Tonight at 10 00, right here on cnn. I think our Friend John is going to appreciate that too. Well be right back. We look up to our heroes. Idolizing them.
