House hearing yesterday about violence against asianamericans. Ben rhodes will join us and Jonathan Capehart is here to discuss Voting Rights legislation coming in collision with the Senate Filibuster. And at the end of the hour well be joined by praise magombo, a nurse in malawi, a nation that just received its first shipment of coronavirus vaccine. Today the Medical Examiner in Fulton County, georgia, finally released the names of the four people murdered in two asian owned businesses in atlanta on tuesday night. The names of the four people murdered in suburban Cherokee County by the same Mass Murderer had already been released. The two words that appear in each entry in todays list of the four victims released by the Fulton County Medical Examiner are asian and female. The first name in the list of four names released today is soon chung park. She was 74 years old. She is now case number 0703, and her cause of death is listed as Gunshot Wound of head. That is the same cause of death listed in case number 0704, Hyun Jung Grant, who was 51 years old, and that is the same cause of death listed in case number 0706, yong yue, who was 63 years old. Case number 0705 is suncha kim who was 69 years old. Her cause of death is listed as Gunshot Wounds of chest. A Medical Examiners report is the coldest document you will ever read. Every word is chilling. It is the document that reduces a life of 74 years to a case number. It describes causes of death with a chilling clinical precision. The coldness of a Medical Examiners report is the documentary mirror of a Mass Murderers coldness. The old phrase coldblooded murder has always meant murders committed not in rage or passion but with no feeling at all, not a trace of Human Feeling for the people the murderer aimed his gun at, a gun he was able to buy in georgia that day just hours before as he confessed. He walked in to that spa in Cherokee County and committed his first four murders of the day. We saw the Surveillance Video last night of the murderer calmly walking into that business. And after murdering four people, calmly walking out of that business. Apparently not feeling a thing for the people he just murdered. The only thing we know that he must have felt each time he walked in to one of those businesses was the urgent desire to murder asian women. And we know that because that is what he did. The words asian and female appear in six of the eight Medical Examiner reports that this 21yearold white male Mass Murderer, selfconfessed Mass Murderer created. The racism in this mass murder is right there in the cold wording of the Medical Examiners reports. We know how they died, and we are beginning to learn a bit about how they lived. 51yearold Hyun Jung Grant worked at the business where she was murdered. Her 22yearold son said his mother worked long hours to support her family. He said she spent her whole life just existing for my brother and i. 49yearold was born in china. She owned the business where she was murdered in Cherokee County, a northern suburb of atlanta. Her daughter told usa today she did everything for me and the family, provided everything, worked 12 hours a day so me and our family would have a better life. 33yearold Delaina Ashley Yaun was a customer at the spa in Cherokee County where she was murdered. She leaves a 13yearold son and an 8month old daughter. Her husband was in another room at the spa at the time of the shooting and was not injured. Her sister describes her as the rock of the family. 54yearold Paul Andre Michels was a handyman who worked at the spa. His brother john michels told New York Times that paul was a very hardworking, loving man. Today the Vice President and president of the United States went to atlanta and met privately with Government Officials and leaders of the asianamerican Pacific Islander community. And after that private meeting Vice President harris, who is of south asian descent, said this. Racism is real in america, and it has always been. Xenophobia is real in america and always has been. Sexism, too. In the 1860s as Chinese Workers built the Transcontinental Railroad there were laws on the books in america forbidding them from owning property. In the 1940s as Japanese American soldiers defended our nation, more than 120,000 Japanese Americans were forced to live in Internment Camps in obvious and absolute abuse of their civil and human rights. And President Biden said this. My heart goes out to all all the Family Members who lost someone in those horrific shootings on tuesday. I know they feel that like theres a black hole in their chest theyre being sucked into and things will never get better, but our prayers are with you. And i assure you the one you lost will always be with you always be with you. And a day will come when their memory brings a smile to your lips before it brings a tear to your eye, as unbelievable as that is now. It will take a while, but i promise you it will come. And when it does, thats the day you know youre going to make it. We begin our coverage tonight once again with nbc news correspondent kathy park in georgia. Kathy, what is the latest in georgia tonight . Reporter well, good evening, lawrence. I think the wound just got a little more deeper in fact with the release of the four remaining names that you just mentioned a few moments ago and all of them women who emigrated from korea. I had an opportunity to speak oneonone with one of the victims sons, randy park. His mom was 51 years old. He told me his mom worked tirelessly, in fact she worked weeks on end sometimes without any sort of break. She always put her sons, her two sons first. And now randy has the Impossible Task of trying to move forward while taking care of his younger brother. He posted a Gofundme Account less than 24 hours ago. And lawrence, the number continues to climb. At last check it has raised more than 1. 7 million. And that number continues to climb. This tragedy is just resonating all across the country. In fact, around the world. I know people that i spoke with here in the asianamerican community. They have shared the gofundme page in korea. I want you to listen a little bit closer to our interview, though, with randy park. And heres what he told me. Take a listen. I have my own time to myself at night when i have to try to get some sleep. Thats when i essentially just break down. But any other time i need to focus on getting past this as fast as possible so i can at least basically try and live happy as soon as possible. Otherwise she wont be able to rest as easily. Reporter and lawrence, i was really struck by randy parks grace and strength in the wake of this tragedy. He was gracious to share a little bit of his time with us. You know, i had a lot of time to talk to a lot of folks in this community and i have to say especially the koreanamerican community here in duluth, its all intertwined. And while they dont know necessarily all of the victims, they feel like it is one of their Family Members who was impacted by this tragedy. So this community is in a lot of pain, and theyre trying to move forward as the healing begins. Lawrence . Kathy, before we go i just want to check in on how youre doing. Youve been covering this for us all week around the clock, and as you come to the end of this week of coverage, what does it feel like for you tonight . Reporter lawrence, to be quite honest with you its been a very emotional day, and thank you for asking. Its been tough. Ive had moments where i had to hold back tears talking to these folks. It seems like when i talk to them its my mom, my grandmother, my father. Its just you know, as i mentioned this is a family. The asianamerican community is very tightknit, and it has been extremely emotional. And its hard not to take it personally especially when one of the victims shares a last name, another park. Obviously no relation. Park is a very common name, but when you look at these faces and you finally have the names connected to these women, its hard not to look away and not to be affected by all of this. Kathy park, thank you very much for joining us tonight and all the work youve been doing all week, really appreciate it. Thanks, lawrence. Thank you. And joining our discussion now, Georgia State representative marvin lim, who met with President Biden, Vice President harris today. And democratic congresswoman grace meng from new yorks sixth congressional district. She is the vice chair of the Asian Pacific american caucus. Congressman, i just want to start with you tonight because we saw your pain and frustration yesterday in that hearing. What did it mean for you to see the president and Vice President in atlanta today . Well, thank you, lawrence, for having me again. And first i want to say how much i appreciate State Representative marvin lim and all your colleagues for speaking up for our Community Today with President Biden and Vice President harris. I was overwhelmed im sorry. I was overwhelmed to see President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris both in georgia acknowledging what happened, acknowledging the human lives, six of whom were asian women who were lost in atlanta. And to hear them acknowledge the pain and the hurt and to actively reach out to our community, actively Work Together to think of solutions has been a world of a difference from the former president who pretty much directly empowered so many of the people who were committing these hate incidents today and throughout the last year. And representative lim, what was your meeting like today with the president and the Vice President . Our meeting was very sobering, but it was very also hopeful. As you heard from Vice President Kamala Harris, this sentiment towards the aapi community, my community, it is not new. American history is rife with it. And as President Biden said in our meeting, it is his belief that hate doesnt go away, it just hides. So were seeing the most tragic manifestations of that right now. It will take a long time to uproot, but the very first step was listening to those who have been most impacted. And i was proud along with my colleagues and advocates to be able to represent the voices of those who couldnt be at the Table Including of course the voices of those whose lives were lost. Grace meng, i want to refer to what kathy park just told us about how it has felt for her to be covering this this week and what a strong connection she feels and familial connections in ways to the people shes been talking to. Is that the way it has felt for you this week . I have. You know, it really is very personal. I think of some of the victims like randy parks mom who she talked to, who she spoke with randy. And i think about the victims like randys mom. It is that first generation of immigrants, many who are women, who basically gave up their adulthood. They gave up their freedom and happiness to come to a new country oftentimes with very little money, with no friends, no real support and all to seek a better life and better opportunities for their next generation. And so to hear about stories like hers makes me think about how grateful i am to that first generation of immigrants regardless of, you know, where you come from to this country. Representative lim, what were hearing from some of the comments we have so far from some of the children of these women who were murdered is how hardworking their mothers were and how much their mothers devoted their work lives to trying to make their childrens lives better. That seems to be something that is the story of your community. Its absolutely the story of my community. Its the story of my own mother. We immigrated from the philippines and my parents and especially my mom after my father passed away did everything she could for me and my brother. Our particular story might be unique to us, but elements of it are felt throughout the aapi community. And im very happy that that is the story we are focusing on, that we are telling the stories of how these asian women lived and how they lived and supported their families. That is the most important stories. It is not as important to focus on the perpetrator or his motives or law enforcement. As important as those are, it is very important to humanize how these asian people, how these asian women lived, not only to honor them but to ensure that we as all of us americans look at every human being and humanize them so that other people dont commit these kinds of heinous acts upon our communities. Grace meng, let me give you a last word on how these women lived and what their children are telling us about how they lived. Well, even though i didnt know them personally i want to say thank you to them because they literally represent an entire generation of asianamerican immigrants who came to this country, who worked their tails off to be able to provide for their families for their next generation. They didnt always have the luxury to enjoy what it meant to be an american, but they sacrificed that. They sacrificed so much, and we have so much to gain in this country by recognizing their contributions and remembering their legacies. Congresswoman grace meng, thank you very much for joining us again tonight. And representative marvin lim, thank you for joining our discussion. We really appreciate it. Thank you.

According to a count by the Washington Post donald trump is currently the subject of at least six ongoing investigations and is named as a defendant in at least 29 lawsuits. The Washington Post reports the sheer volume of these legal problems indicates that after a moment of maximum invincibility in the White House Trump has fallen to a point of historic vulnerability before the law. One of those investigations appears to be proceeding rapidly. Manhattan District Attorney cy vance is conducting a wide ranging Criminal Investigation involving donald trump, his family, the trump businesses. Today Donald Trumps former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, met with prosecutors for the eighth time. And then because its Michael Cohen and its kind of weird, he immediately went on tv and talked about it tonight with ali velshi. Remember they just obtained more than a million pages of documents, eight years worth of mr. Trumps and the trump organizations tax returns. Thats the thats the real road map there. And many people including the companies that they brought in are able to decipher it, myself included. You dont need to charge him on 20 issues. All you need is one and believe me they have more than one. Joining us now is for tonights episode of defendant trump, glenn kirschner. Former career federal prosecutor and an nbc legal analyst. And i cannot get over the weirdness of a witness going and talking to the prosecutors and then immediately going on tv and talking about it, but this is trump world and this is Michael Cohen. And lets never forget theres this pending Criminal Investigation of donald trump in georgia where the evidence is overwhelming against donald trump. And we dont hear anything from any witnesses coming out of that investigation. What do you make of where we stand in new york tonight . Yes. So first of all, if Michael Cohen were my witness and i intended to call him at trial i would ask him not to run to the media after every meeting i had with him. So youre right. This is a strange set of facts and circumstances, lawrence. In new york, though, i will tell you every single data point is pointing toward indictment, right . From d. A. Vance taking not one but two trips to the Supreme Court to get eight years worth of Donald Trumps tax returns and financial documents to d. A. Vance hiring an expert Forensic Accounting firm to help him unravel what hes seeing in those financial records to him also hiring an expert former Mob Prosecutor who used to be the chief of the Criminal Division at the Southern District of new york, u. S. Attorneys office Mark Pomerantz and now eight meetings with Michael Cohen to kind of help Michael Cohen put some meat on the financial crimes bones, help them decipher all of these financial records theyre going through. And then the last little piece we learned about today, lawrence, was the interview with Jennifer Weisselberg, which is a really interesting piece. Because of course Allen Weisselberg, longtime chief Financial Officer and book keeper for trump in the trump organization, Jennifer Weisselberg is the exwife of one of Allen Weisselbergs sons, barry weisselberg. And heres where it gets really interesting for Allen Weisselberg. She said a couple of important things. She said, you know, allen defines himself by what donald trump thinks of him. But ill tell you, lawrence, it sure looks to me like they may be interviewing Jennifer Weisselberg to see if they can get at potential crimes if theres evidence of potential crimes by barry weisselberg, the son, and then leverage that to try to convince Allen Weisselberg, the father, to flip on donald trump. So Allen Weisselberg may find himself having to choose between donald trump and his own sons. That looks like where its going. Glenn kirschner, thank you very much for joining us tonight. Thanks, lawrence. Thank you. Well, republicans are now publicly siding with Vladimir Putin against the president of the United States.

Vladimir putin challenged President Joe Biden to a debate after President Biden called putin a killer in an interview with George Stephanopoulos this week. Fox and republicans are now cheering for the russian president over the president of the United States. Putin and biden, it would not end like rocky 4. I dont think think the american would prevail. The way you win a debate of course is by being right. So fox and republicans believe putin would win a debate with joe biden because they agree with putins governing ideas which include murder, a whole lot more socialism than theyve ever seen, and a cancel culture that includes long sentences in siberian prisons. Joining our discussion now is ben rhodes, an msnbc political analyst. Ben, your reaction to the reaction to Vladimir Putin challenging joe biden to a debate. Lawrence, it reminds me in 2015, barack obama was getting ready to write his speech on the 50th Anniversary of selma and Rudy Giuliani and other republicans were doing Television Appearances and comparing putin to obama. Saying putin needs a strong leader. And the thing obama told me is it wasnt just authoritarianism, if you look at putins rule hes demonized the lgbtq community, demonized the muslim minorities there, obviously made good use of disinformation and Conspiracy Theories. And it was already back then a blending of what was happening in republican politics and kind of the playbook that putin ran. And fast forward five years to today and what you realize is it wasnt just donald trump who was kind of compromised by his affinity for Vladimir Putin, this is core to some of the Republican Party. Not all of them, but some of them clearly look at Vladimir Putin and see more to admire and more in common than they have with joe biden, and that is a very unhealthy place i think for the Republican Party to be. What does it mean to Vladimir Putin when he sees republicans saying that stuff on fox . Well, he loves it, lawrence. I mean, he loves to meddle in our politics. He basically has the attitude almost of a troll, but hes invested in these relationships. Theres been relationships between Vladimir Putins associates and the nra. He loves to distribute disinformation in the right wing media in the u. S. , a lot of the Conspiracy Theories including hunter biden, some of those have the fingerprints of putin all over them. He clearly delights in the reaction you just saw, you just played from matt gaetz. He wants americans, rightwing americans, to compare him favorably to joe biden. It makes him look strong at home he believes and makes america look weak and divided on the world stage. And all of that serves his interest, not ours. And now with our Intelligence Community staffed by professionals once again and free to report the truth about what theyre finding, we discover that Andrii Derkach a ukrainian was a russian agent Rudy Giuliani was meeting with and trying to get information from. Thats all been exposed and republicans arent concerned about it at all. And you remember all this stuff about was there collusion in 2016. Look, in this latest report from the dni, this wasnt subtle. They were making Rudy Giuliani a mark. They were funneling these Disinformation Efforts not just to people like Rudy Giuliani but people like ron johnson who was using them to launch Senate Investigations of bogus Conspiracy Theories which originated with russian intelligence here. The Republican Party youre used to, lawrence, for most of your and my lifetime has as a pillar opposition to russia, opposition to the soviet union, ronald reagan. The evil empire. Look what has happened to that Republican Party. Theyve completely flipped and now its a democratic president who is speaking the truth about Vladimir Putin, not mincing words, defending human rights and its republicans who are apologists for Vladimir Putin. Its a sea change in our politics even though it feels as weve been living this for some years now. Ben rhodes, thank you very much for joining us tonight. Thanks, lawrence. And up next, Jonathan Capehart will join us on the collision that is coming over Voting Rights and the Senate Filibuster rules. Comfort in the extreme.

I didnt march in the streets and spend nights in jail as a young man to find myself fighting the same battles generations later. But it appears the Minority Leader and his republican colleagues are prepared to retread old ground. And i am prepared to stand my ground. Joining our discussion now is Jonathan Capehart, opinion writer for the Washington Post and host of The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart, which is on msnbc on sunday. Jonathan, thank you very much for joining us. You know, i i was absolutely convinced joe biden was going to move on the Filibuster Rule and open the possibility of changing it when i saw how adamant jim clyburn is about this, because there would not be a biden presidency without a jim clyburn endorsement in that South Carolina primary. Well, i think whats interesting about Congressman Clyburn is that he has been he has not been shy about pushing joe biden to do things that he wants him to do. Remember, the president most recently said he wasnt in favor of doing away with the filibuster. Then more recently he has said maybe we should think about going back to talking filibusters, making it more difficult for people to just stop bills. But what Leader Clyburn is talking about, what clyburn is talking about is just doing away with it in order to get Voting Rights passed. And i think what were seeing in terms of hr1 going over to the senate, hearings are starting. Theyre talking about it. Theyre laying the groundwork. They meaning democrats and the house and the senate side laying the groundwork for something to happen that would allow the Voting Rights bills, hr1 and hr4, which is the john lewis Voting Rights act, allowing them to pass on a simple Majority Vote. Yeah. And every previous defender of the Filibuster Rules in the senate including from, say, joe manchin to dianne feinstein. Theyre all saying we cant allow this bill to be stopped. And so if you say that, you are saying youre going to change something in those rules. Right. Youre going to change something. And so lets be clear. It doesnt mean that the filibuster could possibly be blown up completely. Other parts of the discussions have been, well, maybe you make a carveout for Voting Rights bills or certain bills so that they can get through in a Majority Vote along the lines of what theyve been doing for, say, Supreme Court justices. The filibuster is still there but it was eliminated by the now Senate Minority leader mitch mcconnell. That rule was eliminated in order for, you know, three trump judges to get on the Supreme Court. And harry reid did away with it when president obama was in office because they got tired of president obamas nominees not getting anywhere. So that is a possibility there, that theres a carveout for Voting Rights legislation. But, lawrence, come on. Youre a creature of the senate. You know whats going to end up happening. Voting rights is one thing, but you also have infrastructure coming down the line, immigration coming down the line. There are a lot of bills that are going to need to hit that 60vote threshold. And at a certain point rank and file democrats want it done away with. And i think what were seeing now as time goes along congressional im sorry, congressional democrats, Senate Democrats the more theres resistance from republicans, the more likely youre going to see democrats fall in line and say hey, you know what, if were going to get anything done were going to have do away with the filibuster. And strategically what i think im hearing from Chuck Schumer is that were going to go out on the senate floor presuming good will in this fake, naive way and let the republicans block it. And then were going to go back into the Conference Room and were going to come back out on the senate floor with the rule change. Right. And so think about it. Going to the senate floor with Voting Rights, infrastructure, immigration, Background Checks for gun purchases. All of these bills that we know have Popular American support. Minimum wage increase, Popular American support. Put them on the floor, have them rejected by republicans and then blow up the filibuster so that they can all be passed, simple majority. Jonathan capehart, have a great oneday weekend. We will see you back at work Sunday Morning at 10 00 a. M. Thank you, jonathan. Thank you, lawrence. Thank you.

One of the largest Vaccination Centers in the world. As of march 1st, at least 30 Million People were vaccinated in the United States, and as of march 4th, at least 1 Million People were vaccinated in new york state. Which has a population of 19 Million People. As of march 4th, in malawi, with a population of 18. 5 Million People had not received any coronavirus vaccine. Zero. The problem in the United States then and now has been the difficulty of trying to obtain an appointment to get the vaccine. But still we were vaccinating well over 2 Million People a day when countries like malawi still didnt have a single dose of vaccine. And on march 5th, covax, the United Nations partnership which includes the w. H. O. And unicef, delivered the first shipment to malawi. 360,000 doses arrived on a flight from india. Health care workers who have been fighting a second wave of the coronavirus this year that was worse than the first wave last year were among the first to be vaccinated. And joining us now from malawi is praise magombo, a Registered Nurse in the capital city. Thank you very much for joining us tonight. Tell us what it has meant for malawi and for you personally now that the vaccine has arrived. Thank you for having me. About the vaccine, i think its an exciting moment. After the second wave hit malawi, it was so bad. We lost a lot of people, colleagues, family, friends, and it was such a tough time to go through all of that. Especially in january. And then now that numbers are declining and with the coming of the vaccine, we are hopeful that we have the right tools in fighting the covid19 pandemic. And have you received the vaccine . Yes, i got mine on wednesday. Wednesday morning. Health care workers are among the first people in malawi to get the vaccine. Do you all now feel more protected now that you have the vaccine . Yes, definitely. Getting the vaccine, i now feel more more protected. We can go out there and serve the nation better because without the vaccine, were kind of worried, like, am i going to get it, am i going to pass it to my family . So now that were getting the vaccine, were very confident that our work is going to be a bit easier, and we know that if we get the vaccine were going to be protected. What was it like in malawi when you were waiting for a vaccine . Because we were not getting any news reports here indicating anything about progress getting the vaccine to african countries. I was worried, i had no idea when malawi was going to get the vaccine. When did you know that it was coming . I think about a month ago, if im not mistaken. Thats when the president addressed the nation and he said that the vaccines are coming. And then they just came, i think, this month. And the president and the Vice President and other ministers, Government Officials, were the first to get the vaccine. And that was exciting to hear that its now finally in the country. And to know that we can get it, and get access to the vaccine, and we can protect ourselves. Not only ourselves, but malawi at large. What was it like working in the hospitals when the pandemic really hit malawi hard . It was so tough. It was emotionally draining. Because the numbers kept on increasing each and every day. So many people lost their lives. And even though Health Care Workers tried their best to provide care, but it just didnt look like it is enough, like theyre doing enough. People kept on hearing bad news. And seeing all of this happening in a short period of time, it was so draining. And i remember that you just wish that you can just be home and not go to the hospital. Because it was so scary at that time. But we kept the faith knowing that we can defeat the pandemic slowly, yeah . But we can defeat it. One day this will all pass.

Its possible to reach your dreams, if you work hard on it. And when they see me, im happy that they can see a role model, and they can see its indeed possible.
