Attack part of that story. Now, everyone is waiting to see how the public responds to all of this. Correspondent Garrett Tenney is following the story from chicago tonight. Good evening, garrett. Bret, this Afternoon Columbus Police released additional Body Camera Video from that shooting along with the frantic 911 call that sent officers to the scene. She is trying to fight us. Trying to stab us. Trying to put her hand on our grandma. Get here now. We need a Police Officer here now. When officers arrived about 10 minutes later, Body Camera Video showed the officer walking up to some sort of a commotion in a driveway when a girl hot family has identified as 16yearold Makai Bryant pushes another girl to the ground and then with a knife in her right hand she goes after a second girl, pushes her against the side of a car and raising the knife in the air when the officer fires several shots. That officer is now on administrative duty while the Ohio Bureau of criminal investigation looks into the shooting. The mayor of columbus is asking folks to be patient while that investigation plays out. Bottom line, did Makai Bryant need to die yesterday . How did we get here . This is a failure on part of our community. Some are guilty but all of us are responsible. Despite the Body Camera Video thats been release in the ongoing investigation, today the White House suggested systemic racism is to blame for the teens death. The killing of 16yearold makai La Bryant by the Columbus Police is tragic. We know Police Violence disproportionately impacts black and latino communities black women and girls like black men and boys experience higher rates of Police Violence. Other public figures such as israeli jarrett are targeting the officer involved as well with the former Obama Adviser tweeting Makhia Bryant was killed because a Police Officer immediately decided to shoot her multiple times in order to break up a knife fight. Demand accountability. And lebron james, an ohio native tweeted and then deleted a picture of the officer with the words you are next, accountability. Several Protests Today in columbus were peaceful. Self more are planned for tonight. And city officials are promising to release additional information about this case in the coming days. Bret .

While the Attorney General searches for systemic policing issues, President Biden iS Promising to confront the systemic racism. Systemic racism is a stain on our Nations Soul. Republican Senator John Kennedy has a problem with the word systemic. I dont think our Law Enforcement agencies are systemically racist. I dont think america is systemically racist. I think we do have racists in both. Yesterday President Biden promised George Floyds family that he would do everything in hiS Power to get to George FloydJustice And Policing act passed. We are going to stay at it until we get it done. The bill which would end chokeholds and end qualified immunity for Police Officers has already passed the house and is now stuck in the senate. Today the white House Press Secretary shot down the idea of killing the filibuster to pass the bill and, instead, pointed to republican senator Tim Scott and democratic Senator Cory Booker who are trying to strike a deal. They are going to have to decide where they can find agreement moving forward. Senator scott proposed his own Police Reform bill back in june but it was blocked by senate democrats. They dont want thiS President to have a victory on another serious issue confronting the minority communities this. IS Pure, pure race politics at its worse. Today Senator Scott indicated a deal may be close saying, quote i think we are on the verge of wrapping this up in the next week or two. Now, President Biden also used Yesterdays Verdict to push for the confirmations of two of his nominees to top job At The department of justice.

And pointing to local and national politicianS Publicly weighing in on the case against the judges orders including california democratic Congresswoman Maxine waters. You got to get more confrontational. The judge scolded congresswoman waters and even told the Defense Waters comments could be grounds for an appeal. Congresswoman waters may have given you something on appeal that may result in this whole trial being overturned. Minnesota attorneys agree with the judge telling Fox News that elected officials speaking about the case throughout the trial could give the Defense Material to appeal. The Minnesota Court of appeals, the Minnesota Supreme Court or the United States Supreme Court could weigh in and determine whether chauvins constitutional right to a fair trial was broken either under Minnesota Law or under federal law. And this Evening Attorneys tell us thAt The jury can still be asked if it heard about congresswoman waters comments before they made their decision.

Statehood got a boost from the biden administration this week calling it, quote long overdue and noting that d. C. Residents are deprived of full representation in congress. The bill will likely pass the house thursday. The house approved a similar bill last year. First of all, we have a President Of The United States who says he wants to sign this bill. But the legislation faces a familiar hurdle, the united States Senate. Its up clear the bill can even score 51 votes to pass. But the bigger problem is the filibuster. 60 votes are necessary to terminate a filibuster. This is how the d. C. Statehood bill falls into a broader democratic Gam Bit to eventually modify Senate Filibuster provisions. Hopefully, at some point in time, the people themselves will say to the united States Senate it is unamerican to have the minority hold the majority hostage. House passed bills important to the left are starting to stack up in the senate. Legislation on guns, Police Reform and soon d. C. Statehood. Democrats could use the likely death of this bill in the senate as a reason to change the filibuster. Bret . Bret one of several. Chad, thank you. Lets bring in polster frank luntz, frank, good evening. So, listening to chad there, theres a number of bills that are going to be confrontational. Theres not a lot of trust in the country about congress, either side. What can congress do to regain public trust At This Moment Split . Bret, you are correct of the Hostility Swing voters both members of congress is at historic high. They are just angry with the back and forth. They want things to be done. We went out and listened to 20 Swing Voters from across the country, 17 different states. And let me play for you a segment just to show you how angry the american people are. Lets listen. Theres zero bipartisan. They dont work with us anymore. The lack of civility. These people are supposed to be Role Models and if you watch them on tv they are basically just ranting 24 hours a day. I just want someone to say im not going to be an extremist. Im not going to be pushed by the threat of being voted out of office. And thats the problem. The Anger And Frustration towards both sides for seeming to be extremist and unwilling to compromise is really driving the american people nuts right now. Bret you know, i heard that in 2015 into 2016, a lot of that kind of built up the President Trump Phenomenon because people were sick of both parties and they said kick the table over and try something different. What are they saying about both parties now, frank . I mean these Swing State voters . So, its interesting is thAt The republicans think thAt They are in a good position statistically, they have an 85 or almost 95 likelihood based on past elections of getting to majority. But what you are about to hear are frustrations, many of them were people who voted republican in the past but say they wont Vote Republican in the future. Lets listen. They lost the focus on republican values. Only focused on politics, only focused on being reelected. Disjointed and looking for a leader . Conservative and split. And they are expecting the republicans to offer an alternative to Joe Biden. To do so in a unified way, not to be arguing with each other. Not to be arguing put left but to be offering substantial solutions that will have an impact and hardworking taxpayers. Bret you have the democrats here as well . Yes, it was because we are going to keep this fair and balanced. The democrats arent looking so good either. Lets listen to what our Swing Voters had to say about that political party. Kowtowing to the extreme left. Too focused on social issues that dont really affect everyday life of the josht of us. A little dishonest but, you know, i think they are trying. Lacking moderation right now. Leaning with their head and very naive. The democrats are too left wing. The republicans are arguing too much and being obstructionists and i have got to tell you, i have heard this before in 1994, in 2006 and 2010 ima do those three elections have in common the party in power lost. The same thing as we enter into new administration, this new political environment. The party that has the solution is the party thats going to win the majority in 2022. Bret you know, its fascinating. We hear that a lot of cycles, they want stuff done, they want negotiation, they want solutions but whAt The biden administration hears is what happened with obamacare and negotiating with republicans and maybe republicans hear is we have got to fire up the base, both sides talking to the pace. Thats not what you are hearing. Thats not what im hearing and, by The Way, bret, i will tell you if the american people find out whats in this Infrastructure Bill if they find out what was in the stimulus bill, they will put the republicans in power. When they find out the things that hard earned Taxpayer Dollars are being spent on, the public is going to say this is not what i voted for. But right now, right now they dont know whats in the legislation. Bret we always like hearing from folks around the country. Thanks for bringing them to us, frank.

They had no desire to actually solve this issue before the election. They dont want thiS President to have a victory on another serious issue confronting the minority communities. This iS Pure, pure race politics at it worse. We also need congress to act. There is meaningful Police Reform legislation in his name. You just heard the Vice President Speak of it. She helped write it. That is going to be up to congress. Right now there are negotiations that are happening. There are leaders on both sides that are having those discussions. There are negotiations happening about Police Reform and Senator Scott is right. There was not a want on the democratic side to move forward with that before the election. In fact, democrats used the filibuster which many of them have called a racist measure to block Senator Scotts bipartisan piece of legislation. Meantime, the doj has launched a big investigation to the Minneapolis Police department to decide whether they have used excessive force for a long time. Lets bring in our panel haired Ford Jr. Former tennessee congressman, ceo of empowerment inclusion capital. Morgan ortagus former State Department Spokesman and Trey Gowdy former Childrens Miracle Network from South Carolina. It is a little rich to hear all of the calls for Police Reform after what fell apart really At The last minute with Senator Scotts legislation. Yeah, bret. I mean, rich is one word. I mean literally Cory Booker and Dick Durbin and Kamala Harris are in the room with Tim Scott and Cory Booker has always been an honest broker when it comes to negotiating but Kamala Harris looked Tim Scott in the eyes and says i dont care how many amendments you give me were not here to negotiate. We could have had something last summer. But she put her political ambitions ahead of whats best for the country. Ironically, bret, a week later, im sitting on a beach in South Carolina with Tim Scott, Karen Bass calls. There are other democrats of goodwill that want to get this done, unfortunately Kamala Harris wasnt one of them. I would like to be sitting on a beach in South Carolina but thats beside the point, here we go. So, Last Night you had the president reacting to this verdict. And in that speech, harold, heres a part of what he said about the country. There is systemic racism sustain on our Nations Soul and this takes acknowledging and confronting head on systemic racism. And the racial disparities that exist in policing and our criminal Justice System more broadly. The battle for the soul of this nation has been a constant push and pull for more than 240 years. A tugofwar between the american ideal that rear all created equal and the harsh reality that racism has long torn us apart. Bret he and Vice President harris talked about systemic racism a lot in that speech. I just want to read from this Washington Examiner Oped really quickly. Its entitle no, mr. President , the soul of america isnt racist. President Joe Biden is already starting to push people too far with his constant refrains about how racist this country is. He is overstating a very Week Case and he risks becoming like former president Jimmy Carter when carters socalled Malaise Speech had the annoying affect and the inciteful words of Walter Mondale of urging people to be as good as the government. The public and American Culture are better than biden says we are. He may soon see a backlash against him not just for hectoring us but for enlisting big Governments Mite to promote and enforce his racialist agenda. I would like to get your reaction, harold. Thank you for having me on. I think whenever we are having conversations in the nation about how good we are, how better we can be, how bad we have been. How bad we may be At The moment, it invites an introspection and invites an inspection of who we are and what we want to be. And sometimes we hear things that are uncomfortable. I got to tell you, i dont know many of my wifes friends when i grew up in memphis and washington whose parents had to sit with them and give them instructions on whAt To do if they see Police Officers how they should behave. And thats just a fact of life for a lot of black families in the country. That doesnt mean that were bad people. It just means that we can be better. What i was most relieved about Last Night, bret, was thAt That person, Derek Chauvin, who did what he did, who committed that murder, he was a bad guy. Is a bad guy. Who just happened to be a Police Officer. I waS Pleased today to see Merrick Garland and others do everything they possibly could to elevate the notion of good policing and to say that good policing is rewarded. Communities are made safer if we go after bad policing. Would have you said it differently than Joe Biden or Kamala Harris any of us on thiS Panel, Tim Scott included, maybe so. Did tim Scotts LegislationFall Prey or victim to politics . Maybe, perhaps. But it wouldnt be the first. What i hope now is that we are able to rise to this moment. I said Last Night i hope the president and the Vice President , i believe they are ready and will to come to the table and negotiate and find common Ground And Compromise and pass a serious and meaningful Police Reform bill. Bret i guess, morgan what im talking about on the Campaign Trail CandidateJoe Biden talked a lot about speaking to our better angels, yet, the messaging seemed to not be that as of late. It does not seem to be speaking to how good we are as a country inherently overall. Yes, there are some bad folks out there doing bad things and have for years. But, justice worked in the words of many Lawmakers Today of the yesterday. Your thoughts, morgan . Yeah, i mean, first of all, i love hearing my Friend Harold Ford explain this in hiS Perspective if we had him in the senate maybe tim Scotts Legislation would get through and it would be a little bit more bipartisan than what we are seeing today. And, bret, what you said is, i think, resonating with many americans. And i think there is a lot of people that made the calculation in november thAt They were going to vote for Joe Biden because they thought, you know what . There is just too much drama.
