into a mass casualty event. one of the officers describing what went on at the time when then asked the concert to accept, multiple people were on the ground in cardiac arrest and with other medical issues, and medical personnel doing cpr on these individuals, that medics and police were completely overwhelmed. here's how one concertgoer described it. take ap listen. >> all of a sudden, people just compressed up against each other and were pushing forward and backward, and as the timer got closer to coming down to zero, it just -- it got worse and worse, and i looked at my boyfriend sam and i told him, we have to get out of here, because i just felt -- having constant pressure on my chest, constant pressure on my back. i looked at my boyfriend, said i have to get out of here. he said, i can't. we can't. we couldn't. then i just remember -- looking up and -- passing out. >> reporter: a lot of very intense moems. i talked to one man describing it as a mob. his survival instincts kicked in. he wanted to get out of there. he wanted to go get water and air. he was saying. now, according to authorities, 300 people were treated on-site last night. 23 were transported to the hospital. the youngest, 10 years old. we know that at least eight people have died. we don't have the i.d.s. authorities say those haven't been released but authorities are worried because they were transported to the hospital, transported in critical condition. they're afraid those numbers could go up. now, astroworld festival released a statements saying their hearts are with the people injured and with their families. they're cooperating with authorities and the concert scheduled for today has been canceled, and, fred, what police are doing today is they are reviewing video from that concert to try to figure out exactly what happened and also try to figure out why people were not able to get out. why so many people had to be treated on-site and, of course, why eight people died. >> hmm. very sad. rosa flores. we talk more about this with the mayor of houston. a mayor, sylvester turner. mr. mayor, so good to see you. sads sadly under these circumstances. this is heartbreaking. what are you learning what happened and how this happened? >> it was a sold-out crowd last night, fredricka. there were at least 50,000 people that were there. we are certainly looking at all of the video footage. we are talking to witnesses. we are talking with the event organizers. this happened at one. county facilities last night. so we're looking at everything. we even want to visit with some of the people who were taken to the hospital, and our numbers indicate anywhere between 17 to 23 taken to hospitals. unfortunately, 8 people have died. >> uh-huh. this taking place at the nrg arena, which was the last place i remember seeing you at a very festive event. >> yes. >> but now we're talking about family members who are worried about the many who were taken to hospitals in critical care, as rosa just reported. are you hearing anything more about the status of those who arrived at the hospital in critical condition? >> we are still assessing their conditions. what i have been told as recently as a few minutes ago, other than the eight who have died, the others are still being treated. i've not received any additional information as relates to their status. some of them, i think there were 17. they say 17 to 23, who were sent to the hospital. some have been reunited with their families already. we set up a reunification area so that has taken place. but this is something that we are thoroughly looking at. we're looking at the video footage. in the 30 years that major, for example, events have taken place in this city, whether in city or county facilities, we've never had anything like this occur. i'm not aware of a single person having died from one of the events, and this city is known for putting on big events, but we do want to do a thorough debriefing here, and look at every single thing. we don't rule out anything that was, there was hundreds of police officers who were outside as well as some was in. there were hundreds of non-police security that was also available but we do think that there's no question there was some issues with what was occurring inside. so we want to look at footage. it does, some indication, it was occurring in one area, and things happened very quickly. so i don't want to rule out anything. everything will be considered viewed, because we do want to get to the bottom line. in the meantime, i certainly want to extend my condolences to the family members, because you don't want one person to be injured and you certainly don't want any person to lose their lives. >> no. nobody goes to a concert and family members end up getting notification their family member attending has died. texas governor greg abbott just released a statement that says in part, the state of texas is ready to assist in the response and i have directed the texas democrat of public safety to make state resources available to support the investigation. what does your city need from the state in terms of resources to help advance your investigation? >> well, as relates to what happened last night, the houston police department and all of the other law enforcement in the area who are taking a look at everything. number one, this was put on by live nation. so we certainly want to talk with the producers of this event. the organizers of it. we want to talk with them at length. we want to look at all of the available footage. we want to talk to witnesses who were there. certainly those that were in the area where this crowd surging started to take place, and we want to visit with some of the persons who are in the hospital. so there is -- at this point it's about gathering all of the available information to see exactly what took place. we want to take a look at how the internal design occurred to see whether or not it led to what took place. we want to take a look at the number of people who were there. the ages, it's my indication we're talking in those, the eight who died, that the age range anywhere from 16 to 23. >> yeah. >> so we're looking, we're looking at all of that. so we're certainly now in the investigative phase. again, this is something that has not taken place in this city. in the last, you know, 30 years, and this is a city that's known for putting on big events, and doing those events very, very well, but we are not going to leave any stone unturned. that why i want to be very careful about drawing any conclusions at this point, because i don't want to rule anything out or anything in. we want to look at every single detail to determine what led up to it and what additional steps need to take place to keep it from happening again. especially, especially in this city. >> yeah. mayor, i wanted also to shift gears and talk about the legislative win for the white house, and you've been very vocal about the issue of infrastructure. last night the u.s. house passed the bipartisan $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill after months of back and forth. you joined the u.s. conference of mayors, endorsing this bill. in your view, how will this happen the people of houston? >> well, for example, we have the number one port in the country especially relating to for foreign. there are dollars for port, port expansion and we certainly need to widen and deepen the port in the city of houston's when it comes to transit, building a much more walkable, livable city. dollars in in for transit. when it comes to roads and brips. that's important. we have one of the largest wastewater facilities in the country. when it comes to sanitary sewage, this bill is critically important. no question, there's a huge need for infrastructure dollars and improvement. job creation. not only in the city of houston but across the board, and as president of the african-american mayors association, we strongly support it. as head of the u.s. climate mayors and there are dollars even in this bill for climate, to fight climate change, that's huge. and now i would strongly encourage congress to pass the build back better bill, because in that bill you have transformation of the largest investment for environmental justice. the largest investment in pushing back on climate change, climate change litigation. enough money in there for senior family homes in the united states and largest investment in the last decade in providing assistance for people with their health care. making affordable accessible health care. so let me give a great deal of credit to president biden and his team. a great deal of credit to speaker pelosi, to the members of congress, both democrats and republicans, and my simple ask would be, let's not stop here. now let's pass the build back better bill and then we can move forward in building a much more productive and positive society. >> i know you're looking forward to what's next, but perhaps even more immediately after the infrastructure bill, that the president hopes to sign, when you look back at this year, i mean, texas saw massive power outages after severe winter weather storms swept across. you know, the state. i'm wondering, in this infrastructure measure, how, what kind of resources you're looking forward to, to help you handle severe weather again or rebuild from damaged pipes and the power grid as a result of this last winter storm? >> thank you. fredricka. i'm glad you brought that up. as you know, in february of this year we faced a winter storm in the state of texas, when it wasn't just the city of houston but the state of texas shut down in terms of its power grid and it had a tremendous adverse impact on our entire water supply. and the bipartisan infrastructure bill, there are at least $50 billion for the grid. we need to weather-wise our grid system in this state. these storms are coming with greater frequency and intensity, and in the past we protected the grid from the summer heat. we did not spend on investing nearly what we needed to do protect it from winter storms. and over 200 texans lost their lives in february of this year. so the bipartisan bill will go a long way in building resilience, because you can't even talk about climate change litigation without talking about resilience, and you can't have both of those without having equity at the equation. the impact on communities that have been underserved and underresourced for decades. because those are the persons who are disproportionately impacted the most. there's a lot of energy poverty in many of these communities, even in the city of houston, but across the country. so these two bills together, not just one, but both of them together, will improve the lives of vulnerable communities, create more equity, build in resiliency in terms of the grid, because these storms just don't stop coming. >> all right.meayiyor sylvester. thank you so much for your time. >> thank you. thanks for having me. coming up, green bay packers' quarterback aaron rodgers revealing he tested positive for covid, and is

throwing but watching his team. testing positive for covid-19. now admitting he is not vaccinated when he said he had been immunized. expressing frustration over the public backlash. walk us through all this. >> reporter: listen, joe rogan -- sorry. that's who he's taking advice from. aaron rodgers is pretty much blaming everybody but himself for this. he is saying that he is pretty sure he caught covid off somebody who was already vaccinated. he's attacking the woke mob saying all of these blatant lies out there about him, and he says he went on-air to set the record straight. he said he was immunized, not a lie, it was the truth but not one of the main vaccines saying he's allergic to the pfizer and moderna vaccines. very rare, if true. talked about issues with the johnson & johnson vaccine, also very rare and really more in women than in men. he says he had a homeopathic treatment to give himself a, to create a defense against covid. take a listen. >> i didn't lie in the initial press conference. during that time it was a very, you know, witch-hunt that was going on across the league where everybody in the media was so concerned about who was vaccinated and who wasn't. >> reporter: now, rodgers also attacks the nfl covid protocol saying they're not based on science and goes on to make a bunch of claims that are also totally not based in science. that homeopathic treatment he says, he wouldn't get into the details, but experts say there is no proof that that would work. he also says that, you know, his infection now gives him the best protection possible. that's also not backed by the science. he also says he's taking ivermectin and other drugs that also have not been proven to treat covid-19. bottom line, he is now okay. a couple of days didn't feel well and is now okay and strangely invokes who he calls the great mlk in terms of moral obligation to defy unjust rules. slightly different context. >> oh, boy. all right. so he says he may be okay, but the questions are going to continue to come his way. he still has to respond to a lot. >> reporter: yes. >> of that. nick watt, thank you. appreciate that. all right. coming up,

well, it's no longer the punch line of the nation's capital after late last night. the house passed the president's $1.2 trillion infrastructure plan. the single largest invest in public works in the nation's history. handing president biden a win he desperately needed. this morning the president predicting another milestone legislative win. >> i feel confident, i feel confident, that we will have enough votes to pass the build back better plan. >> live for us on capitol hill, eva good to see you again. focus shifts to the second part of the president's economic agenda, the massive build back better act. does this win help get the build back better across the finish line? >> reporter: fred thashs is the big question, because for this administration and for democrats on the hill, this has always been a two-pronged approach. now, in terms of that larger spending bill, moderate democrats, they say that they first want to wait for the congressional budget office scoring of the bill. for folks at home. that essentially means how much the bill will cost taxpayers. but this is all not to take away from the tremendous feat to pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill in the house last night. let me give you a sense what's in the bill for viewers. it includes expanded high-speed internet, funding for more climate initiatives addresses water quality. new charges stations for electric powered vehicles and money for upgrades for airports and public transit, among other provisions. most progressives relended on the key demand to both pass this bill and the largest spending bill together, confident that their moderate colleagues will make good on their promise, and pass that other bill alongside with them, in the next few days. now, in terms of that larger spending bill, it is a moving target. it has been for months. here's my sense of what is still left in that bill, and up for negotiation. billions for clean energy and climate change provisions. investments in child care and a short extension of the child tax credit. of course, a policy so popular in the american rescue plan, passed earlier this year. so all of that is what they are trying to pull off in just the next few days. see if they were do it. president? >> see indeed. eva mackend, thank you so much or capitol hill. a tull of war with parents and kids. issue of parental leave. four weeks is back in the build back better act but unclear whether it will survive senator joe manchin's opposition. joining me, vice president of income security and child care early learning at the national women's law center. so good to see you. >> thanks so much for having me. >> so why are you fighting so hard to make sure this paid parental leave remains in this bill? >> paid parental leave, and its paid family and medical leave, too. it's a comprehensive leave policy to make sure at the very human moments, welcoming new baby, caring for an ill parent. when you yorgsurself are sick, don't have to choose between economic security and your livelihood and your family and health on the other hand. a really important provision to make it in there not just to help women today in terms of getting back to the labor force but in terms of the kind of economic, political and moral imperative we have for the long term, the build back better plan still has free universal pre-k child care support, child tax credits. you said paid family leave must be included with everything else. at the same time. in your view, is it all or nothing? >> i think that we are going to get this over the finish line. i think that what we have to remind parents and caregivers and working families is that the things that are causing enormous pain and stress now are about to improve. as you said we're going to have free pre-kac for your kids, not pay more than 7% for child care and those who do that work are finally going to have living wages. the statement of the bill we don't have to feel so vulnerable and precarious all the time. it's not a conversation about all or nothing. it's a conversation about what are we going to win to get working families to a more stable place of economic security and dignity. >> hmm. so right now, i mean, the united states, currently doesn't have federal paid family or sick leave benefit. making it an outlier among developed countries. why do you think it is so hard to -- to make a convincing argument and get everyone onboard to agree to these terms in this new proposal? >> oh i don't think it's hard to make the argument. it is overwhelmingly one. most popular provisions in build back better among democrats, republicans, and independents. so this is, the policies that are in the build back better plan, whether paid family and medical leave, whether it's university pre-k or child care or the child kaxtax credit, the american public overwhelmingly wants these provisions. it's less selling it to the public and making lawmakers fill the urgency of getting it done. >> underscore overwhelming support, not for everybody. i mean, here is senator joe manchin. >> paid family leave. okay. democrats in the house putting it back in the bill. >> yeah. >> does that change your view on it at all? >> i don't think it belongs in the bill. i'll tell you why. that's a piece of legislation that really is needed from the standpoint if we do it and do it right. we can do that in a bipartisan way. make sure its lasting. >> so what's your message to him when he says, we can do it, and do it right? >> i think that this, the research is there. the policy work has been done. the imperative has never been more urgent, and the families in west virginia and across the country are counting on, counting on you and counting on all of our lawmakers to get comprehensive care infrastructure across the finish line, because that's what this is. we just passed a physical infrastructure bill but these provisions weller child care, p pre-k pre-k, this is the infrastructure of our lives allowing families and women to work and ensuring our families are cared for. it's important to prioritize all the pillars. >> melissa boteach thank you for coming. >> thank you for having me. coming up next, the city of wilmington, north carolina, is holding a funeral for one of many black people killed in a race riot more than 120 years ago. the city remembering a painful history and honoring the victims who were never given a proper burial. that's next. i didn't realize my dna could tell me if i had a higher chance for type 2 diabetes. so when my 23andme report said i did, it was a wakeup call. this season give the most meaningful gift for just $99. to make progress, we must keep taking steps forward. we believe the future of energy is lower carbon. and to get there, the world needs to reduce global emissions. at chevron, we're taking action. tying our executives' pay to lowering the carbon emissions intensity of our operations. it's tempting to see how far we've come. but it's only human... to know how far we have to go. ♪ ♪ there are beautiful ideas that remain in the dark. but with our new multi-cloud experience, you have the flexibility you need to unveil them to the world. ♪ in 2016, i was working at the amazon warehouse when my brother passed away. and a couple of years later, my mother passed away. after taking care of them, i knew that i really wanted to become a nurse. amazon helped me with training and tuition. today, i'm a medical assistant and i'm studying to become a registered nurse. in filipino: you'll always be in my heart. at carvana, we treat every customer like we would treat our own moms, with care and respect. to us, the little things are the big things. which is why we do everything in our power to make buying a car an unforgettable experience. happy birthday. thank you. we treat every customer like we would treat our own moms. because that's what they deserve. a short time from now a moment of healing. more than 120 years in the making. the city of wilmington, north carolina, is laying to rest joshua halsey. he is the first of an untold number of african-americans killed during the wilmington massacre of 1898. a group of white supremacists attacked him on november 10th. insurrection over throwing the city the biracial government forever changing its legacy. the victims' graves like history lost. until now. a new movement by the third project person is recognizing the city's horrific past. starting two years ago they began the painstaking process of locating the victims and now joshua halsey is getting the proper burial he was never afforded. joining us right now co-chair of the poor people's campaign, an author of the book "we are called to be a movement." bishop william barber ii. thank you so much for joining us on this very important day. i mean what does this moment mean to you? >> well, fredricka, i'm from eastern north carolina and this even more that a healing is really a day of reflection, because 1898 was an insurrection. an insurrection caused by the fear of black and white progressive politics that was really growing in the south. it had grown since the end of the civil war, and was trying to provide education for all, labor rights for all -- and racists said, no. this wasn't a few -- this was the government. this was a person that ended up becoming a governor, a red shirt, he was the racist aggressive democratic party of that day against lincoln republicans and they were claiming, fredricka, that fusion politics and reconstruction politics were undermining america. they were lying about deficits, refused to accept the election results of 1896 and for two years went all over the state said we must have a violent insurrection and sent that message out over the country to say this is how we take our country back. >> you're delivering the eulogy today. what will your message be? >> in this sense the unit hey h to be why did the deaths happen? 1898, by the way, this was more people killed per capita than killed on 9/11. i also want to talk about is how the blood of those people still speaks to us today, and we've got to remember this history, because look at the trends today. the lies about voting. the racist insurrection. insurrection that was rooted in cheating and lies and distortion. look how today there are attempts to block living wages. block child ktax credit, base ad lies. they have a charismatic leader yesterday going around spreading lies. took over media back then. they take over parts of the media, like fox news and others pushing out these lies today. part of is a scripture in the bible says the blood of abel cries from the ground. i want to talk about those who died still crying to us now and trying to say to us, don't go down this road again, america. don't do this again. stand up against the lies. stand up against the distortion. be a progressive society. try to care about everybody. do not follow this, because the end of it is terrible forms of violence that ultimately destroy democracy and destroy us all. >> pay attention to the frightening parallels. some of joshua's descendants spoke with cnn what they are feeling leading up to today's ceremony. this is what they said. >> we are calling it a funeral, but they'll be no one there who knew josh. or actually knew him. but what happened to him cannot be forgotten. >> we are honoring the people who hid in the swamps. we're honoring the people who never came back to their homes. we're honoring so many ancestors along with our family, our blood. >> if the ceremony like today is really just the beginning what are you hoping is next? >> well, i love that word "honoring" because to honor people is not just to remember them and have a funeral. it is to remember what they stood for. you know? in that day, wilmington was the largest city in north carolina, on its way to become atlanta. the largest african-american population. had a strong african-american favor and black and white people were working today for fundamental change. and then there was this other element in all of the south. 1898 was the beginning of a lot of riots. in fact, a telegram sent after november 10, said this is how the put the negro in their place, how you stop black and white people working together. we're going to honor them and we must challenge those things today. we must, we must hear their voices in the now. so i don't know if i'm going so much to bury josh as to resurrect his memory in hopes that we hear the lessons of the past, and we face the lies today. we face the racism today, we face the forces trying to divide us today, face insurrections of today. because the best form of honor and flattery is to do what others did while they were living. >> and bishop, isn't it something that there are people who are hearing about this page in history for the first time. similar to how in recent years many admitted to just learning of the oklahoma black wall street massacre for the first time. why is america still learning about its history? >> well, that again is part of why we are still learning and why do we get so mad when, some people get so mad when these things come up? there has been so much attempt to hide the ugly history of systemic racism and violence. there was -- for years nobody really knew about it, reported on it. it wasn't in our textbooks about this. so much of this violence is hid. that's why they will continue to achieve things because we've not had an honest reckoning with the history. and not just what happened to individuals, but i want you to listen to the understanding. this was a strategic plan laid out from 1896, for those that lost the election, and refused to accept it, and they saw unity, black and white people coming together, as a problem, as being anti-american. as a threat. it ended up getting all the way to the white house with woodrow wilson was there and he played "birth of a nation" in the white house, which was the roarification of the plan and the diminishing of reconstruction politics, black and white people working together. we need to recover this history, but not just for history's sake. so that we can see it coming at us. we can know what's happening in the present reality. particularly when we see it activated in politics. the policy and the lie always -- of, a first, and then comes the violence and the destruction. >> bishop william barber, thank you so much for being with us today an helping us to understand, and see what it is you're doing today to help honor so many who have not been honored before. appreciate it. we'll be right back.
