The the youngest just nine years old. Darnella frazier was 17 when she recorded it and i went viral. Here is part of her emotional testimony today. I heard george floyd saying i cant breathe. Please get off of me. I cant breathe. He cried for his mom. He was in pain. It seemed like he knew it was over for him. He was terrified. This was a cry for help. When i look at george floyd, i look at my dad. I look at my brothers. I look at my cousins, my uncles because they are all black. I have a black father. I have a black brother. I have black friends. I look at that and i look at how that could have been one of them. It didnt appear that any of todays Testimony Moved Chauvin who was in the courtroom. Witness after witness broke down on the stand wishing they had been able to do more for george floyd. It was difficult because i felt like there wasnt really anything i could do as a bystander. The highest power was there. I felt like i was feeling it. Genevieve hansen was on the scene and testified she pleaded to let her help mr. Floyd but was pushed away by one of the Police Officers. He said something along the lines of if you really are a minneapolis firefighter, you would know better than to get involved. Thats not right. I mean, thats exactly what i should have done. There was no medical assistance on scene, and i got there. I could have given medical assistance. Thats exactly what i should have done. The day began with donald williams. The Mixed Martial Arts fiter fought back tears when the court played the 911 call he made. He described exactly why he felt the need to make that call even with police already present. At some point did you make a 911 call . I did call the police on the police. Why did you do that . I believe i witnessed a murder. There were police there, right . There were police there. Why didnt you just talk to them about it . We just didnt have no connection. I spoke to them but not on a connection of a human being relationship. With me now is katy fang and mark claston. Mark, i want to go to you first. Let me play that 911 call. Hes a Mixed Martial Arts fighter. Here is his 911 call calling the police on the police. He pretty much killed this guy that wasnt resisting arrest. He had his knee on the dude neck the whole time. Officer 987. The man stopped breathing. He wasnt resisting arrest or nothing. That was in handcuffs. He was unresponsunresponsive. He wasnt resisting arrest. Im sitting with another off duty firefighter watching in front of us as well. She told them to check the man pulse but they wouldnt check the pulse. There was a lot of testimony to try to make donald williams, mark, look like he was somehow threatening to the officers. He was hostile. He said youre not going to make me look angry. He was angry as every one there watching somebody die in front of them. The other thing i want to play for you really quickly before i get your comment is he talked about having a conversation with officer tao who is one of the other officers there and the hostile reaction he got. Lets play a bit of the video shown in court about the bystanders and how they were treated. Bro, he was just moving when i waked up here. Do you have a pulse . Ive been watching this whole time. Im trying to tell you. Bro. Theres three of you guys. You should be able to multitask. As a former Police Officer, can you comment about this, mark. The other officers, including officer tao, seemed more hostile to the crowd who were outraged at what Derek Chauvin was doing than they seemed concerned about the man on the ground who they claim was a threat. There are two things over the past couple of days that really jump out at me and that is a lot of the attributes that people or Police Worshippers that ill call the Police Worshippers will attribute to Police Officers such as courage, compassion, empathy, integrity and humanity were only displayed by the nonpolice civilians on the scene. The Police Officers showed none of those characteristic throughout the entire interaction and that led to the death of mr. Floyd. What that is is the manifestation of something we have talked about before that toxic police culture. It was only the civilians that were acting as if they were professional, trained Police Officers. Point two is, we got an opportunity to see something that we took for granted or didnt realize and that is there are other victims of this killing. Those individuals, those brave men and women who witnessed, who were begging and pleading even feeling guilty about not taking the next step of physical interaction, intervening physically. Those brave men and women are victims and they will they dont have the opportunity to receive justice, if you will, in this particular case. Hopefully mr. Floyd will and his family will. Lets play Darnella Frazier. The kids, the under age people who testified were really moving. Here is Darnella Frazier who shot the video which we know is like 9 minutes and 29 seconds. Here she is taking questioning about whether or not george floyd was offered care. As you were observing there floyd under the knee of mr. Chauvin, did you ever see mr. Chauvin do anything to offer care to mr. Floyd . No. Did he ever either let up or get up so he could breathe . No. Did you ever see him try to administer cpr . No. Did you see him call anyone else to add minister aid to mr. Floyd . No. We talked yesterday about the most dangerous thing for the defense here is that after there was no pulse and after chauvin was told there was no pulse he still stayed on top of george floyd and continued to constrict his breathing. That testimony, what do you make of what you heard today . Well, it ties into what we heard in the Opening Statements for the prosecution. The idea that a Police Officer has a duty to protect but also to show compassion. As you recall during the Opening Statements, during the Opening Statement by prosecution, we heard the Mission Statement of the minute Minnesota Police department includes the idea of having the duty to care for citizens. Whats important for a legal per spect ef is theres a thirddegree Murder Charge that got reinstated and that has a lower standard of proof that the seconddegree unintentional murder and the seconddegree manslaughter charges. All the state has to prove for thirddegree is Derek Chauvin caused the death of george floyd through an act that is imminently dangerous to others. We heard lay people, eyewitnesss saying it was dangerous. He couldnt breathe. He didnt get off of him. He didnt give him help. We had firefighter, emt saying in her professional opinion it was dangerous. He didnt get off of him. We heard two different people today say, that they called the cops and george floyd may not have been able to testify on his behalf, we heard his voice through the videos that was power and through voices of those kids that testified and it was so compelling. Absolutely. Lets play genevieve. She was quite good. Do you think it would make your job fighting the fire harder if someone started yelling at you and telling you you were doing it wrong . Im very confident in training ive been given so i would not be concerned about somebody that was not trained to. What if they started calling you names . Like i said, i know my job and i would be confident in doing my job. Theres nothing anybody could say that would distract me. There struck me as one of the weirdest events that the people were distracting the officers for providing care. There were three Officers Holding down george floyd. There was only one officer trying to control the scene. If they were so concerned about the crowd, why was it three to one on plp floyd and not three to one on the crowd . That didnt make sense. Did it make sense to you . Didnt make sense to me at all. This defense is throwing the everything up against the wall seeing what sticks. What it did display not only did the Police Officers not live up to their duty to care for mr. Floyd. They rejected the offer of assistance by a person who claims to be a professional health care person. They are just tripling down on their negligence in this particular case and it will really come out later on about their liability in regards to the death of mr. Floyd. Its clear as both sides have said, primarily the prosecutors have said the video speaks for itself. It is very difficult i will say its hard to convict Police Officers even when it seems like obvious that what they have done is wrong. We just had case there week where an officers were acquitted for beating up another officer who was under cover. He was covering and videotaping at a protest, at a black lives matter protest. The other officers beat limb to the point he needed surgery and they still didnt get convicted. Its very hard. From what you saw today, ive never seen a case like this with this much compelling evidence from young people, from a firefighter, professional that was so damning. Ive never seen anything like it. Does this seem like a sort of separate case against mr. Chauvin . Well, listen, we have to strap in for a long ride. This is just day two. Theres going to be a lot more witnesses and the reason we heard the Defense Focus on the crowd is they koultds not go after the individual witnesses today. They were minors be p they were women. They were breaking down. You couldnt do that. What you do is go after the collective crowd. Remember, in the Opening Statements for chauvins defense, they said, lets not make an emotional decision. Lets not make an emotional decision. Lets listen to the evidence. What nay will say is they will wait for their day in the sun which will be the medical testimony, the Expert Testimony and the no excessive use of force. They will try to tell the jury, which shay have done, we need you to make a decision based on common sense, logic and reason. Thats the only thing they can do because its inescapable the emotional component was harsh. It was brutal to have to sit through and listen it. Especially with replaying the video as people were narrating what they saw that day. It was something else. Thaupg thank you both very much. Up next, you will not believe the explanation from a Georgia State trooper for why he arrested a black lawmaker at the State Capitol last week. Georgia is going all jim crow while another state is making it easier for people to vote. Imagine that.

Governor phil murphy joined oi video signed into law a bill expanding early voting, allowing inperson voting up to ten days before the election. It stands in stark contrast to georgias jim crow Voter Suppression law which faces mounting legal challenges. A third lawsuit was filed by the aclu representing black and brown voters. Calls for an economic boycott of major georgia based corporations, coacola and Delta Airlines continue to grow. We learn the most ludicrous arrest. Park cannon hauled out by State Troopers after knocking on the door while he signed the bill. In an incident report the officer who arrested cannon said i felt that if i did not take action the other protesters would have been emboeldsenned to commit similar acts. The events of january 6th at the u. S. Capitol were in the back of my mind. I cant believe i have to say this. A lone africanamerican state representative gently knocking on the governors door while he signed a law stripping the right offense the states black and brown citizens Behind Closed Doors is in no way shape or form comparable to Violent Insurrectionists Laying Siege to the United States capitol to repudiate our democracy because black and brown voters chose their candidate and the insurrectionists didnt like the outcome. Full stop. Stacy abrams applauded new jersey law as taking the country in the right direction. Phil murphy joins me now. Its interesting that new york and new jersey were not at the front edge of really expansive voter access in terms of lots of early voting and things like that. This is a big change. Huge change. We made a lot of change since we got into office three years ago. This is a big one, in person, early voting. No restriction if someone wants to hand you some water while youre in line. Thats also something were proud of up here this new jersey. Its a big step forward. It was a viral but special moment. Did you have any mush back from republicans . They seem to think things like what you have done, making it easier to vote will produce nonexistent voter fraud. Have you gotten any push back from republicans . Yes to some extent. They are cloaking their opposition largely in youre not giving us enough time and enough money into this. It is big step for our County Clerks and well work with them. The chances or getting hitly lightning are higher than uncovering voter fraud. The entire thing is a myth which makes the georgia situation more tragic. Would it help state like ew jersey to have a law like s1 . Would it help your state . Something thats a consistent law across all of our states is something we would support. The devil is in the details of whats in law. Folks on parole or probation can vote. New jersey is having have challenge in terms of covid. Very high per capita rate. The curve is going the wrong direction. Whats going on there . It is going in the wrong direction. We are the densest state in america, joy. Were in the densest region in america. Were in northern cold weather state. You combine doing a lot of our stuff indoors with density which is usually our friend but not in pandemic. Its a little similar to what we saw last spring. The numbers are not nearly as bad as last spring and our vaccination roll out is going quite well relative to any expectation but were up against it with these vary yantss. We have south african, uk, brazilian, new york city. Were going to get through it but our numbers have gone a little sideways. Hopefully things will get better. Thank you for taking some time to be with us this evening. Thanks. Joining me now is Bishop Reginald jackson. Theres now a third lawsuit against the law in your home state thats been filed by the aclu. The Georgia Muslim voter project, women watch africa. How hopeful are you . The federal judge something is fraught with lots of trumpism. Are you hopeful this law will get over turned . Im going to remain hopeful. Let me say i think this is going to end up going to the Supreme Court and the nation will find out what kind of Supreme Court we have. This will give the Supreme Court chance to clean up the mess it created in Shelby Versus holder. Well see what kind of Supreme Court we have in the country. One of the people voted on that is georgia native is clearance thomas who i dont think supported the Voting Rights act the last time i checked. Tyler perry got this 230 acre magnificent facility for making movies. Hes now spoken out. He said im resting my hope in the doj taking hard look at this unconstitutional Voter Suppression law that harkens to the jim crow era and some consider boycotting. Please remember that we did turn georgia blue and theres a Gubernatorial Race on the horizon. Thats the beauty of a democracy. Noted hes been down this road before with the antilgbt laws and antiabortion bills. Boycott, what do you make of that as somebody in a Leadership Position in georgia . Do you think state or the companies should be boycotted . On thursday at 12 00 in front of coacola well announce the beginning of a boycott next monday. Im supporting of boycotting the corporations. Im not advocating the movie theaters. Im not advocating major league baseball. I think that will take care of itself. I think we need to concentrate on these corporations who blacks give their dollars to and we give our dollars to them. We expect them to stand with us. Coacola put out a statement on monday saying were disappointed with the outcome. We dont see this as a final chapter. We will continue to press for improvements to Georgia Election law. Im not sure what they will happen. Delta stood by their statement in which they said the law was improved over time. When it comes the boycotts, andrew young pointed out the economy in georgia larger than the economy in south africa which was subject to frit significant boycotts. He said, i dont know why anybody wants to f with that. He put it that way very colorfully. What impact do you think a boycott would have . In june of last year, the chairman said our companies can do better. We must stand with black lives matter as allies and support other Justice Social justice causes. Our companies with do better. Here is chance for them to do better and they flunked it. Lets take Delta Airlines. Delta airlines sent out an inhouse memo where they praised the passage of this bill. These statements released today or yesterday, they only see to give cover to the fact they have failed the black and Brown Community by supporting not to have our votes suppressed. I dont think we can let that go unchallenged. We cannot act as if thats okay. Well do better next time. Are the only companies that will face this . Theres lot offense companies. U. P. S. , aflac. With ke expect the Boycott Calls to grow beyond delta and cocacola . Yes. Were trying to arrange an Executive Meeting with executives across the country. This is not just a georgia problem. There are 41 other states which have bills similar to these on the books. This is really a threat to our democracy, number one and number two, we need to call it what it is. Its racist. If republicans had won, these bills would not have been introduced. When the laws work for them which they passed before, when they work for them, they were fine. When they work for us, its something wrong with them and the most ludicrous thing is, all this legislation is based on a lie told by the former liar in chief. Now all of saund we want to give credibility to a lie. I remind georgia, 2018, former secretary of state, now the governor, he took 500,000 names off the voter rolls. Many of them voters of color. There was no legislation. There was no concern about the outrage of blacks. Everything was fine. Now, when they lose, all of a sudden theres no integrity and we have to do something about it. That is absolute foolishness. Well keep up with this. Thank you very much.

So when something happens that could affect your portfolio, you can act quickly. Thats decision tech, only from fidelity. Im looking forward to making sure theres a plaque black woman on the Supreme Court. Not a joke. That was candidate joe biden promising to nominate an africanamerican woman to the highest court in the land. This morning he took major step toward keeping the promise. He nominated judge jackson for the influnts shl Court Of Appeals. The seat left vacant by Merrick Garland. Judge jackson was one of 11 nominations sent to the senate this morning by President Biden. The new judge, if confirmed include three africanamerican women. First muslim judge and first Asian American woman to serve on the u. S. District court for the district of columbia. Bidens pick stand in stark contrast to the slew of barely qualified white male idealog judges that donald trump rammed through at an astonishing rate. Administration officials told reporters to expect a steady drum beat to fill nearly 70 vacancies. This is exciting, neal. One of the signature things that donald trump did is he was very proud he got more than 200 federal judges put in place and got three Supreme Court justices. Now its bidens turn. What do you make of the fact that hes being very deliberate about making sure that those nominations have this rich diversity . Joy, its a historic and awesome and very happy day for the federal judiciary. Its no secret i was upset for the first 18 months of the Obama Administration because they didnt focus on judges and didnt focus on Court Of Appeals judges. Biden is and in a huge way. This is a brilliant, committed diverse slate that was nominated today. This list really just proves the conservative fantasy that diversity and inclusiveness come at the cost of competence. Yes they are historically diverse. They are also some of the most qualified nominees we have seen in years. Trump didnt nominate but one statistic no not on that chart, he didnt nominate a single black judge to the appeals court. Not one. You have to go back to nixon to find a president who did that. Biden nominated three, all of whom are women and no president has confirmed three black women in four or eight years. Biden did this in one day. Some differences speak for themselves. Its a big day. Donald trump was very deliberate about making sure that plum positions went to white men. He was making a statement more than anything else. Theres two pieces to this. The one part is the Stephen Brieer part which is a bit uncomfortable. The idea that you dont want to chase someone into retirement before they are ready. It isnt fair. Theres also sort of a gerentocracy in our system. He doesnt want to wait until democrats lose control of the senate. They are one Senate Vacancy of losing control of senate. Theres the Ruth Baders Ginsburg issue. I had the Privilege Of Being Justice Briar law clerk. Hes careful. Hes moderate. Hes about trying to make the system work for all americans. I guess i find this conversation a little distasteful thats playing out in the newspaper opeds. Hes an incredibly public minded person. I dont think the articles will matter one bit. Hell decide when he wants to. I think the important point is lets not think about the Supreme Court right now. Well get there. Lets think about the Circuit Courts because thats where trump did so much damage and where history has done damage. We never had a native american nominee to the Circuit Courts ever in our history. There are fabulous ones. Biden is doing the right thing today and he will continue to do it which is diversify the judiciary. Lets talk a bit about some of these nominees. I happen to no Katangee Brown jackson. I think shes wonderful. I knew her in college. She made it to the top three. They were the top three choices for the scotus and president obama chose garland. Theres a lot of people disaappointmented. I was one of them. All of this drama played out with Merrick Garland being sort of humiliated by mitch mcconnell. They wouldnt meet with him. Look at karma. Hes Attorney General and that opens the door for Katangee Brown. Tell us about her. Any of those three would have been great jurists and she would be great Supreme Court justice. She brilliant. Shes got a deep soul. Shes a great writer. Shes collegial. Shes going to fit in well on this new court, the d. C. Circuit. I think there are other people in that league. I dont think we should write them off. Theres other people too. I think what the president did here is say, here is a great person for our nation second highest court. She should go up today and alone with this other rich, diverse, competent slate of nominees. This is just really incredible day. Im just looking at some of those folk. The idea of somebody like her plus Sonya Sotomeyer changes the way the court would look. Theres a lot of other great people. There arecunningham. Theres kansas jackson nominee for the u. S. Court of appeals. You can go down, theres judges with different background and religions. In your view, what difference does that make to jurisprudence. Here you have people who led all different walks of life. Our very first muslimamerican judge should he will confirmed. Will probably have a different set of experiences than a lot of the trump nominees, to put it mildly. Youve got incredible the 7th circuit judge. A Federal Public Defender spent the last ten years doing that. Thats rare voice. I have the privilege of arguing on the Circuit Courts all the time. Very few judges have that kind of experience. By doing that you really bolster the tapestry of what its all about. Breaking the Heritage Foundation like every one is cut from that same cloth and you get them rolled out over and over. You get sort of one view on the court. It could be great thing happening. Thank you. Still ahead, the white house announces new initiatives aimed at addressing the recent surge in antiasian violence.

Yall love saying we going to hell but get upset when i go there. The right has lost the culture wars aincluding among their own kids. Fixating on a new boogie man well, boogie kid. Republican legislatures in more than two dozen states are pushing through bill that take the 2016 Bathroom Bill to a flu level. The measures would prevent trans kids from playing k through 12 sports deny gender care or create religious exemptions that could deny treatment at all if medical providers or pharmacists voice an objection. Like the republican freak out over wokenness or flame the bill as demonic its all fake outrage. 0. 6 of the american Adult Population is transgender. We dont know the real number for a host of reasons. Thats a Tiny Community of fellow human beings. Not enough for an alleged take over of girl sports by transyouth. If these right wingers cared so much about girls sport when they arent they advocating for women athletes to get equal pay or decent Gym Facilities that match what the men have. If the outrage isnt real, which it isnt. What is it about . Political power. Its the same reason Crocodile Cruz and his friends are clowning themselves at the border and inspire their trumpy voters to stick with the program to hurt the people they fear. In the wake of their golden defeat in november, one in five republicans report being less motivated to vote in future elections versus just 5 of democrats which explains why the republicans are advancing draconian Voter Suppression laws to make it harder for opposition to vote because in order to keep their base engaged, they have to promise conservative voters that they will win even if it mines by cheating. The same goes with antitranslay laws and the border freak out. They are about keeping them engage and voting republican. What better than a fake stolen election or racializing the coronavirus or losing your marbles or a handful of trans softball players that your part has no idea people would want to vote for. Its not consequence free. Demonizing china over covid has produced violence against asian people. Demonizing trans kits gets them bullied and harassed. Demonizing immigrants makes it impossible to pass common sense laws. I could go but here is the bottom line. Useless drama, it does have consequences. Sometimes violent consequences.

This Surveillance Video shows a man kicking a 65yearold asian woman to the ground in new york city. Police are calling it a targeted hate crime and are searching for the suspect. Much of the publics outrage is directed at the building staff who stood by and did absolutely nothing. One person even closed the door on the victim. Those Staff Members have been suspended. This comes on a day when President Biden announced new initiatives to counter the violence, including a task force. Kurt, you and i talked about this a lot. You talked a lot on msnbc and written articles about it. It is impossible to ignore that weve had one whole year of the previous president naming the coronavirus the china virus and even worse terms than that. Do you connect that to what were seeing in this upsurge in violence . Yeah, joy, this is a situation where the numbers dont lie. Since march of 2020, there have been more than 3,700 hate crimes against asianamericans in this country. We have seen 150 increase in hate crimes against the Aapi Community. Were seeing violence and mayhem targeted in the most disgusting, unimaginable ways happening just in front of businesses, on public streets, riding public transit. Its only escalating and getting worse. We saw just the other week in a congressional hearing about hate crimes against asianamericans, the Republican Party the very Republican Party responsible for almost giving permission and allowing people to perpetrate these types of crimes we saw them make light of it. We saw Congressman Chip Roy Use a lynching reference at a hate crime hearing. This is all cause and effect. And the data that keeps coming out keeps telling the same sorry. Republican rhetoric was out there putting targets on the backs of asianamericans, crimes and hate crimes and violence against asianamericans keeps going up. We have data now. Richard lui was on. Hes got a great book out. He was talking about data thats going to come out about aapi people and violence. Its been released today. The question is, have you ever been a victim of a hate crime. 27 of asianamericans report yes. 24 of Native Hawaiians and pacific islanders. 22 is the national average. 55 of aapi women have experienced specific incidences such as being called a racial slur. Theres quantifiable data. Some of these surveys were conducted in english and also korean and chinese, which is new for polling. So, thank god were getting updates. What do we do to turn this back . Well, i think were seeing some of these right steps happen now, like just the idea of being able to get the right data and being able to reach out to the Aapi Community in the language that they speak. You know, were seeing with the initiative today that the president announced a real concerted effort to expand investment in data about hate crimes and violence, using more resources to help Fund Different initiatives that affect the Aapi Community. 49. 5 million in funding to help aapi victims of Domestic Violence and assault. More coordination between the entire federal government from hhs to doj, a real concerted effort to look at the role of law enforcement. Theres a reason why so many hate crimes go unreported. Yeah, and i think theres a connection here, an intersectional connection. Weve seen this happen to the Lgbt Community where you have hate crimes associated with the attitudes people have, this whole thing about trans kids. Its going to produce more bullying and more hate and more, you know, terror for young trans kids. Its like people dont understand there is a direct relationship which is why i love what lil naz x is doing. Lets talk a little bit about some of the breaking news while i have you for a moment. This is a hard turn. There is this matt gaetz news tonight. Ive got to ask you about it. What are your thoughts . Hes denying it. He is saying this is a plot against him by a doj official. Hes been one of the people thats been one of the Culture Warriors for donald trump.
