Card image cap

I dont have the fact that i wasnt a fan of our last president s character issues. That is Senator Mitt Romney being booed in utah, in his state. A sign that defying the former president still comes with a price. And next hour, a very special guest, celebrated chef Marcus Samuelson, a New York institution. His reaction to the citys plan to reopen completely in july, and what its going to mean to him and his workers as well. But we do want to begin in North Carolina and whats happening there where a public viewing is going on right now ahead of the funeral for Police Shooting victim Andrew Brown jr. , along with a 12th Day of protests demanding the release of Body Cam Footage in the case. Thats where we find nbcs Vaughn Hillyard who is in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, where a viewing is being held this afternoon. Also joining us is melissa murray, professor at the Nyu School of law and an msnbc legal analyst. Welcome to you both, guys. Vaughn, i see youre marching with some protesters there. Talk us through what youve been seeing on the ground so far today. Reporter were in Elizabeth City, yasmin, and this march is taking place through the neighborhood of Elizabeth City. Theyre going to march for criminal Justice Reform here. But there are members of Andrew Brown jr. s family here. Theyre en route to his home and where he was killed on April 21st, more than a week and a half ago. And while District Attorney weighs whether to Press Charges against the three deputies who shot and killed Andrew Brown jr. , his family is here in the Streets Today. I want to introduce you to the mother of kahlil fairbe. What would your message be for folks who have not been to Elizabeth City and never got the chance to know andrew and what that moments means to you guys. Andrew brown was a gentle person, gentle person. He had a mild temperament. He had a sense of humor, and we miss him. We miss him terribly. Theres no reason he should have been taken from his family in the way that he was taken from his family. We are here to let the city and the county know that we want justice for Andrew Brown. We will have justice for Andrew Brown. Reporter this is your neighborhood. Yes. Reporter to watch your community walk the streets here this afternoon, what do these last minutes mean to you and reflecting on what the country is trying to come to in terms of a racial reckoning here. It means so much. It shows that we have the support of the community behind us. It shows that people are tired and it shows that time has come for a change and thats what we want. Reporter were waiting for videotape, the full Body Cam Footage to be released to the family but then also the greatest public. What do you want, what is your message to the District Attorney and to the judge weighing whether to release those tapes in the days ahead . If it was any other citizen of the city of Elizabeth City, they would be in jail sitting, waiting, being treated as guilty until they was proved innocent. I dont understand why on the other hand its not working the same way. People should be treated just like the citizens of Elizabeth City. Reporter mia, got bless your family and your city. Thank you for your time. Those three deputies are still on administrative leave at this time while the District Attorney weighs. He said he would make that decision by The End of this month whether to charge the three deputies in the killing of Andrew Brown. Vaughn, stick with me for a moment. Melissa, you heard mia talking about the Body Cam Footage. Thats the major sticking point, what everybody is depending on. Walk us through what needs to happen in order to see this Body Cam Footage . I think one of the things thats unusual here and different from other situations where weve seen the release of Video Footage more quickly in the course of the investigation is that theres actually a North Carolina law that says that the Body Cam Footage or any Video Footage cant be released unless given judicial approval. The judge in the hearing last week said he would not release this Video Footage until The End of the month or the conclusion of the investigation. According to the prosecution, thats not unusual in North Carolina, but again it does stand in stark contrast to other situations weve seen around the country where the Video Footage has been forthcoming more quickly. So that is part of the discussion here. There seems to have been more transparency in other cases and perhaps it looks like less transparency and maybe something more nefarious. So why do you think, melissa, something like this is happening here in the state of North Carolina and what needs to be done to change that so at least the family, if not just the public, but at least the family gets a viewing of the full Body Cam Footage . Again, this is a part of North Carolinas own legal landscape that is idiosyncratic. Each particular jurisdiction can have its own rules about the release of Video Footage in circumstances like this, and this happens to be North Carolinas rule that it can only be released with judicial approval. The judge has released some of this to the family and the family apparently has seen some of it but it hasnt been released to the greater public. There were Media Outlets who also petitioned to have the footage released to them and they also have been denied that request. One of the lawyers for one of the Media Outlets suggested that there would be an appeal of that ruling. But according to the prosecution, this is sort of standard procedure in part because if there is a formal prosecution of the officers who were involved in this, they worry that the fact that the public has already seen this footage would make it harder for there to be an impartial trial of those officers if there is one in the future. If they conclude that there is no Trial Or Prosecution that will be forthcoming, then they say they will release the Video Footage at that point. Melissa, stick with me. I want to go back with vaughn whos on the ground in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. Vaughn, talk to me about the funeral Arrangements Tomorrow for Andrew Brown jr. Reporter the funeral is tomorrow, yasmin. Do i have you . Reporter yeah. The Funeral Procession Tomorrow is the Memorial Service for Andrew Brown jr. If i can have Marshall Pan here, this is at the home of Andrew Brown jr. Where this march has just led and everybody has kong debated. You can see the mural that has been painted on the side of Andrew Brown jr. s home. Marshall, do you mind getting a shot of that mural. Yasmin, its quiet here so out of respect im going to go away here myself. Melissa, as we watch this take place in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, and thinking about the Police Reform that needs to happen in this country, specifically the passage of the George Floyd Policing act, while they address, for instance, the Body Cam Footage and how or body cams, i should say, and how every Police Officer should have to wear a body camera, what about some sort of federal mandate when it comes to the release of this Body Cam Footage . This isnt the first time that weve had this kind of conversation surrounding the killing of Andrew Brown jr. This conversation has happened before. No, we have had a conversation about this. Again, i want to just sort of emphasize questions of Constitutionalism And Federalism may make it difficult for there to be a broad federal mandate that requires local and state jurisdictions to release Body Cam Footage to the press or to the family in circumstances like these. Criminal law and particularly the issue of policing is understood in constitutional terms to be very much a local decision. So while the federal government can encourage certain practices by Conditioning Grants of federal monies, they Cannot Con script the straits or local actors into doing particular things. There may be some constitutional limits to some broad federal mandate in that respect. But again, i think what the George Floyd Justice act does is to provide federal money to states who agree to comply with certain conditions, including the collection of data, the limiting of carotid holds or chokeholds and other mechanisms that were intended to provide real reforms of existing Police Practices but to do so with more of a carrot rather than a stick. Vaughn hillyard, melissa murray, Thank You to you both. Well continue to watch what is happening in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. If anything does change, well bring it back to you. Coming up at 4 00 p. M. Jim clyburn weighs in on Police Reform and the need for legislative action. Well also get his reaction to his colleague, senator tim scotts remarks on race in america. You dont want to miss that conversation. We are also learning new details about a shooting in a Wisconsin Hotel that left two people dead last night. The brown county Sheriffs Office says the suspect was targeting a worker he knew at a restaurant connected to the Oneida Casino in green bay. That worker was not there so that Man Shot and killed two restaurant workers. The suspect was shot and killed outside the hotel. And the controversy surrounding Rudy Giuliani, federal investigators raided his apartment to seize electronic devices. Giuliani called that illegal and continues to deny any wrongdoing as relates to the investigation into his role in the firing of former ukraine ambassador, marie yovanovitch. Giuliani has not been charged with any crimes as of yet. Cori coffin is there. Good to see you once again. What action have we seen on the Streets Today . Any view of giuliani . I know we saw him yesterday morning. Any updates on this investigation . Reporter yasmin, good afternoon. Yes, so after several days of giuliani speaking about this and reacting to this and even teasing that he would have a Press Conference in wehawken yesterday, which did not happen, the Giuliani Camp is remaining quiet about these warrants. We learned there were three separate warrants that were issued. One for electronics here at giulianis home, another for electronics in his office, which included his Secretarys Computer and a third for victoria toensings electronics. She is not necessarily a Focus Or Subject of this investigation and she was willing to cooperate ahead of time to provide any information that they had needed. Now, her name does, though, appear on a list of names that are on the search warrant. This is a fairly extensive list of people who may or may not have come in contact with giuliani that he may have sought out regarding Ukraine And Ambassador marie yovanovitch. Along with this extensive list, included are lev parnas, igor fruman. Hopefully you have the list up there right now. Federal authorities and legal analysts tell us this shows it is a major rampup in this investigation. New reaction does continue to pour in even though the Giuliani Camp is quiet today. We did hear this morning from congressman adam schiff. Listen to what he told us. The focus of the investigation appears to be was Rudy Giuliani this person who was basically communicating with members of congress, with the president , was he secretly working for a foreign power, because he was making money from it or because there was some other bargain. That is, you help me get rid of the ambassador so i can help the president to do these sham investigations and i will help you in some other way, or ill help you get rid of the ambassador for ukrainian reasons. I think thats really the predominant focus. Is it possible theyll finding other corrupt things . Without a doubt. I wouldnt speculate about what that is or who that may involve. So, still so much involved, yasmin, but giuliani said they seized eight to ten electronics. Rudy giuliani has not yet been charged with a crime. Yasmin. All right, cori coffin, Thank You for that. I want to go to a video getting a lot of attention. Senator Mitt Romney met with Thunderous Boos in his Home State of utah at the state republican convention. Watch this. I dont have the fact that i wasnt a fact of our last president s character issues. And i also i want to bring in nbcs Ali Vitali on capitol hill. That was quite a moment, ali, to say the least in his state where romney is supposed to be a fairly popular guy. He has a lot of Family History steeped in that state. Tell us more about the Senators Speech and the reaction. He got Thunderous Boos but he avoided the censure there from his Home State Republican Party. Narrowly, but he avoided be censured. During those remarks, romney was making a point about his disagreements with former President Donald Trump specifically over issues of character. And what he said during those boos was basically i have been a republican all my life. He even went so far as to remind the crowd he was the republican standard bearer less than ten years ago, during the 2012 election cycle. I know we talk about this all the time, but it really is just another stunning marker of the way that the Republican Party has made such a sharp pivot in a very short period of time, away from the Conservatism And Republicanism that Mitt Romne espoused during his president ial run and then four years later and eight years later to the kind of republicanism Donald Trump espoused and coalesced the party behind. Its a shift a lot of republicans saw upside too when Donald Trump is in the White House but certainly we know Thats Dissidence over whether thats the route the party should keep going or if they should revert back to the conservatism of older times. Ali, lets talk about another antitrump republican, Liz Cheney, also in danger of losing her post as republican conference chair. What can you tell us about that . Reporter well, in some ways, yasmin, you see the National Party having this battle On The Road physically when lawmakers go home, like Senator Mitt Romney, but youre also seeing this battle happen here in the halls of congress. This is something that has been bubbling for several weeks and months now since Congresswoman Cheney voted to impeach then President Donald Trump. It was something that the former president at that time was very vocal about. He has made no secret about his ongoing vendetta against cheney. But what has happened within the Republican Partys ranks is as a member of leadership, there have been questions about whether or not shell be able to hold on to that post. We know that shes been at odds with the other members of leadership on this, specifically House Minority Leader kevin mccarthy, but the man literally wedged between these two leaders in the Republican Party, congressman steve scalise, finally weighed in on this the other day. Its really interesting to hear what he had to say about it. I know the media likes making a lot out of some of the conversations when maybe Liz Cheney takes some direct swipes at President Trump. President trump is still a very active part of our party and a Vocal Leader in our party. Reporter and not just a Vocal Leader, yasmin. The rest of what Congressman Scalise said is the idea that you just disregard President Trump is just you cant just disregard President Trump, hes just where we are. And frankly, he has a lot to offer still to the party. So scalise clearly taking on what Cheney Has said repeatedly here. Shes been clear, she does not think trump is the future of the party. She doesnt think that he should run again for president in 2024. But its not just scalise. Axios is reporting that congressman jim banks, the head of one of the powerful conservative caucuses here in the house, has even openly questioned whether or not shes going to be retaining her Leadership Post by The End of the month. So clearly these private questions about what is going to happen to congresswoman Liz Cheney beginning to be made more public here on capitol hill. Those fissures very, very public and palpable now, yasmin. Ali vitali, Thank You. Coming up next hour, moderates under fire. Months after an Election And Insurrection and inauguration of a new president , why theres still a high price to pay for republicans who want to move past trump. Our allstar political panel will help break all of that down for us. As you were seeing on the Lefthand Side of your screen, well continue to watch that march for justice over the killing of Andrew Brown jr. In Elizabeth City, North Carolina. We will bring any news to you if it develops. Lets take a moment and listen in to whats happening on the ground there. All the family, yall come up and yall just give us a little space. I want the family to get a photo of the family members. We have the youngest daughter of mr. Andrew brown here. Isnt she so beautiful. Hold her high, baby. All the family come on up. Can i just get all you have in the front yard all right. Nonfamily, please, if youre on the concrete, make sure youre family. All right, sir, media, please, if youre not family, get off the concrete. Well give you all the pictures. Just give us some space. So were watching The March For Justice in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, over the killing of Andrew Brown jr. Of course all of these protesters there peacefully protesting and asking for the Body Cam Footage to be fully released with regards to the Police Killing of Andrew Brown jr. His Funeral Tomorrow as well. Our correspondent, Vaughn Hillyard, is on the ground there covering this for us. Well be speaking to him again later on in the hour, but for now were going to keep an eye on this and bring you any developments if they do come up. But with that, i do want to move on to whats happening in texas right now with trump endorsing Candidate Susan Wright who will advance to a Runoff Election for her late Husbands Seat representing the sixth congressional district. None of the candidates will meet the 50 threshold to win outright. Second place came down to a battle between jake ellzey, a republican, and jana lynn sanchez, a democrat. But democrat sent out a statement conceding. Meaning it will be an allrepublican runoff between Wright And Ellzey. Joining me to talk more, Daniel Friend, a reporter for the texan. Daniel, thanks for joining us on this. Really appreciate it. So the news broke just a short time ago of the sanchez concession. The democrat out of the race. A runoff between two republicans. Are you surprised by this at all . Im not terribly surprised. A little bit surprised. I did think coming into the election last night that it would be a runoff between wright and sanchez. But it turns out that the democrats had not really coalesced behind sanchez as much as i thought. It turned out to be the top two republicans who are now going on to the runoff. These are the two that were the frontrunners in the republican primary so its not terribly surprising that those are the two names, but it was a little bit of a shock that that is the two republicans. Lets talk about the trump factor, daniel, and that is The Endorsement from former President Donald Trump of Susan Wright. Is trump still a major deciding factor for voters in texas . Did that help her get to this runoff . Yeah, i think that she would have gotten to the runoff even without trumps support. But i think trumps endorsement in her, especially the late endorsement is kind of a key signal that his name is still a huge factor, especially for republican voters who are still loyal to him. If it had just been early voting, which trump didnt actually get into the race until long into the early voting just last week, he didnt actually go to Town Hall until after early voting actually ended. So if it had just been early voting, Wright And Ellzey would have been separated by ten votes for the top spot. So it was a really close race in the early voting. With the Election Day voting it turned out to definitely swing heavily to Susan Wright indicating that the Trump Endorsement and Town Hall that he went to was a key factor. It jumped for wright from 16 on the early voting data to the Election Day percent of 24 . Whereas ellzey plummeted from 16 to 11 . So a big swing there with trumps endorsement. All right, Daniel Friend for us, Thank You for joining us on this. Well be watching that Runoff Election, thats for darn sure. Thanks, daniel. I want to go back to Elizabeth City for a moment as we are watching The March For Justice for the killing of Andrew Brown jr. , over the killing of Andrew Brown jr. , i should say. Nbcs Vaughn Hillyard is down there as we speak and hes covering The March For Justice. Are we going to be getting vaughn, guys . Reporter hey, yasmin. So take us back there as were watching yeah, go ahead. Go ahead, vaughn. Reporter were kind of in a Fluid Motion here. I want to set everybody up with where we are. There was a march this afternoon through Elizabeth City. The viewing of Andrew Brown jr. Is this afternoon, ahead of his Memorial Service tomorrow. We are at the home of Andrew Brown. There is a memorial, a mural that has been put up here. This is where the family has gathered this afternoon. I want to bring in two of the lawyers representing the family. If you could both introduce yourself before i ask you what we should expect in the days ahead. My name is wayne kimball, im one of the attorneys representing Andrew Brown. Were here today to commemorate his memory in this march, to call for justice for Andrew Brown and for all other victims of police misconduct. I think as folks here have been watching nationally this case, you guys and family have been able to watch about 20 seconds of Body Cam Footage but are awaiting the full release of Body Cam Footage by The End of the week. What do you guys expect to see from that footage, and what will that lead to ultimately . Because its the District Attorney who youre waiting for in order to Press Charges against the deputies. What are you guys waiting for this week . Well, the judge ordered the release of the video to the family not released but disclosed to the family within ten days. We expect it to happen sometime this week. As it relates to the District Attorney, if they say unlawful, unjustified killing, then we expect it based on Due Diligence for him to do his job, Press Charges and prosecute, as anybody else would be prosecuted. Reporter to what extent does it concern you that the District Attorney has already made public statements suggesting that Andrew Brown Hit Deputies before the shots were fired . Hes the individual who will be deciding whether to prosecute those very deputies. Its very concerning considering that the District Attorney is not releasing the tape for a fair jury and at the same time he makes comments thats not put in context. He already said the vehicle was made as a weapon. Ill show you if the vehicle was a weapon, we would have seen it. If the officers were justified, we would have seen it. It is very concerning that the official prosecuting this to make comments and not placing it in context. Reporter ill have Marshall Pan over to where the march is continuing. I want to follow up here. You guys have both been at this a long time. I cant take away where Andrew Brown lost his life. Theres been a national reckoning when it comes to race and the role that Law Enforcement plays over the last year. To watch this in these streets here this afternoon, Community Members come here, what does this moment mean for this community and also this country here. Youre right, were standing on sacred ground. Were standing on a plot of land whereby all indications Andrew Brown was attempting to evade an assassination when he was shot dead in the back of the head. It is also concerning, to get back to your initial question, this District Attorney was also running for judge currently, should be replaced. There should be an independent prosecutor brought in to handle this case and to take the politics out of it, to make sure that theres an independent Objective Investigation as to what happened on this very plot of land that were standing on right now so that the family and all of america can know that police are accountable for their actions. And to that point there and ive got to send it back to yasmin, the governor has called on the District Attorney to call on a Special Prosecutor, because until the District Attorney does that, it is in the hands of him, even if the state offers their help calling on a Special Prosecutor. I think when the Chief Executive Officer of the state is calling for an individual prosecutor and you have a local District Attorney in a judicial circuit not doing that, thats very telling. If the governor is calling, the attorney general, josh stynes, its time for a Special Prosecutor. This is the exact case why a Special Prosecutor should be involved because the District Attorney is at the hip to the people committing this act and a Special Prosecutor should be brought in. Reporter yasmin, this is the site where Andrew Brown jr. Was killed about a week and a half ago. This is his home. And the march continues down the streets. Vaughn, dont let those hey, vaughn, quickly if you can quick these attorneys with you, i actually have one more question for them seeing that the killing of Andrew Brown jr. Happened on the heels of the chauvin verdict. How that has changed the conversation in the city of Elizabeth City, North Carolina. Reporter Yasmins Question is after the guilty verdict of Derek Chauvin in the minneapolis trial, how has that impacted you guys in your effort in this case . Thats one verdict. Theres a lot of nonindictments. You look at Eric Garner and michael brown. One is not enough. We need accountability across the board. Its great that chauvin was convicted, but its a lot of people who was not even indicted. The officer had an opportunity to take the Grand Jury so the fight continues. Thats one, thats great, but we want transparency, justice. If you kill people, no matter if you have a badge, shield or star, you should be held accountable for your actions and reform needs to be taking place. The George Floyd Act needs to be passed. Im going to get back to this family, okay, guys. Reporter yasmin. Vaughn, Thank You. Stay close, my friend. Ill come back to you a little later on this hour as we see the developments in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. Thanks, vaughn. So the senates recent passage of the Covid Hate crimes act could not arrive at a more crucial moment for our nation. According to the Pew Research Center more than 80 of asianamericans fear that violence against them is increasing. Hate crimes against asianamericans have spiked 1 69 in the first quarter of this year. With me to discuss how this could curb the rise in violence, a representative from california. Congresswoman, thanks for joining us. I really appreciate it. You were actually born in a japanese Internment Camp on u. S. Soil and youve spoken at length about how racist or hostile language is often a precursor for the type of violence that your family has in fact experienced. Let me give you some numbers. 20 of asianamericans are now attribuing the violence to their community to the former president s rhetoric against china and the coronavirus pandemic. Do you See Parallels between then and what the aapi is experiencing now . Thank you, yasmin, for having me on today. I have to say, yes, i do See Parallels. I didnt believe wed have to keep talking about this. There have been upticks in antiasian hate in the last five or six years, but this has been tremendous in the sense of how much of the uptick has happened. And, you know, my familys experience, i was born in an Internment Camp. My Mother And Father born in this country are both american citizens and yet they were put in an Internment Camp. It was a dark chapter in the lives of all of us. But also when you think about it, its a dark chapter in america too. When there is such hate expressed and a sense of youre not part of this country and youre foreigners. And that has sort of been an undercurrent through asianamericans for our history, even though a lot of us are five generations in. It doesnt matter. It doesnt matter. And so its really what happens is that my Familys History is a consequence of this hatred and the sense of otherness. You know, this hateful rhetoric just Cannot Continue because it leads to scapegoating and it definitely has led to violence. The whole idea of really targeting a specific group of people as being not like us, theyre the other, theyre foreigners, is very hateful. I really feel that Asianamericans Today are standing up. This cant happen at all. And so im proud of it. Im proud of them. You know, you look at some of the things that happened with the vulnerability of particularly the seniors in our group who have been attacked, just defenseless themselves. You think about the fact that we have children. I have grandchildren. They have never been exposed to this, but honestly they can be because when you designate just a group as being foreign and not like us, that impacts all of us. All of us as americans too, because we are in this as a country trying to be united to make it better. Lets talk about the Hate Crimes act. The passage of it in the senate. Heres what it involves. Expedite justice Departments Review of Hate Crimes, requiring the department of justice to raise awareness about Hate Crime Reporting and requiring the department of Justice And Department of health and human services to mitigate racially discriminatory language about covid. Is it enough . You know what, yasmin, its a real start, it truly is. I have to say we really couldnt believe that this will pass the way it did with, you know, almost all unanimous in the senate. And the people understand now, and i think this is something that there are other communities who feel the same way. You look whats happening with the africanamerican community, latino community, they really feel that they understand what this is all about. So we have broad support. And i really feel that when we do something like this and we really declare that this is something that has to be addressed, the president of the united states, the Vice President have been very, very supportive. Were not going to let this go. I really believe that asianpacific american Heritage Month this year is really significant. Weve always celebrated our cultures, our diverse groups of society, but this year well be very intentional about the fact that we need to do more. I really feel with the support that we have with the president and Vice President and the congress too, well be making some progress. Congresswoman doris matsui, Thank You. Great to see you on this sunday afternoon. So 100 days and 100 Million vaccinations, it was a promise that the White House has indeed doubled and with time to spare. Now the biden administration is faced with whats next, including with quickly spreading variants and lingering Vaccine Hesitancy that could cripple the remainder of the rollout. I want to bring in nbcs Heidi Przybyla covering this for us. Heidi, great to see you on this sunday. The president s first 100 days were marked by his goal to vaccinate hundreds of millions of americans. He did in fact succeed. What can we expect when it comes to the campaign to get folks vaccinated in the next 100 days, especially when were seeing spikes in Vaccine Hesitancy . This might be the harder part despite all of the progress that has been made. Were now dealing with the holdouts. A lot of the people who really wanted to get vaccinated have gotten vaccinated. So the Name Of The Game now is accessibility. Working, for instance, with Primary Care doctors who can be a positive influence on individuals who have not yet been vaccinated, convincing them to go ahead and do it. Increaing the number of pharmacy appointments. You have the question about whats going to happen with the Johnson Johnson Vaccine and its accessibility. That was a Vaccine Being considered to use in some of these underserved areas and rural areas. They also have to tackle the question of the booster shots, right . Believe it or not, we are about six months in to some individuals who were in that first tranche of people getting the vaccine and then really, yasmin, theres going to have to be much, much more focus on whats happening abroad in Vaccine Diplomacy because it is not going to work for us just to vaccinate and protect our own population. These other countries are proving to be petri dishes for double mutant variants which can come back and potentially, potentially be resistant to the very vaccines that were trying to use on everyone. Heidi, Vice President Kamala Harris expected to lead the second phase of the nations covid response. What is that going to entail from her end . Right. From her end we learned exclusively over the past few days that shes actually going to be leading this entire effort from the White House in terms of the public education campaign. And in interviewing White House officials, yasmin, its really interesting because they actually really are concerned about this whole narrative of hesitancy being selffulfilling because they say based on the data that theyre using, the Word Hesitancy Isnt exactly accurate when youre talking about the 22 to 30 of americans who say theyre not going to get it now. A lot of it has to do actually with convenience. You know, we dont have the same type of Health Care System in this country that other countries do. We dont have paid time off, for instance, for wage hourly workers who may want to go and get the vaccine. And then those who are really, truly hesitant, they say that its actually only a narrow portion that are living in the Fever Swamps of conspiracy theories. These are individuals who may just have a couple of extra questions who could really be pushed over the line potentially by conversations with their primary Care Health doctors, and thats why, yasmin, so much of this really is about accessibility and just making sure that we are making it convenient for everyone to be vaccinated. All right, nbc News Heidi Przybyla for us. Thank you, heidi. In the early hours of the Morning Spacex safely returned four astronauts to earth in the first Nighttime Splashdown in decades.

In this Weeks Edition of In The Spotlight my next guest sat down to break down those whitewashing claims and what needs to be done to hold conservative lawmakers account able. Its important when people try to revise history for themselves and brush things under the rug which were seeing on the republican side of the house right now, i think its important for people to remember and have a reminder to the voters of whats really happened here. So thats partially why we launched the republican accountability project. We launched it after January 6th and everything that happened that day in an effort to, one, support the republicans that voted to convict and impeach trump and take a stand for democracy and twofold to really call out the rest of the republicans who were basically enabling this entire situation. And with the stop the steal narrative and the Big Lie, trump didnt do this by himself. Joining me now is a. G. , as she calls herself, allison gill, host of the daily Beans Podcast. Allison, thanks for joining us. Really appreciate it. Are you with your mom . Did you see your mom this weekend . I heard you had gotten vaccinated and you were going to see your mom for the first time in a year this weekend, right . Yes, thats right, yasmin. Im actually at my Moms House right now in arizona. Im honored to be here. Thank you so much for having me. Yeah, its been wonderful to see my mom. Its been over a year. Awesome. While youre there, check in on that recount, will you . Make sure nothing nefarious is happening. Lets talk about your interview with Olivia Troye and kind of the republicans attempts, it seems, to essentially rewrite history. I actually thought it was interesting at one point you asked olivia to grade some of the lawmakers, like hawley, like mccarthy, like mcconnell. How dangerous is it that so many of these republicans refuse to stand up and say this was wrong and rewrite history the way that they see it now versus the way they saw it on that day . That was one of the questions that i had asked olivia, because, you know, shes former department of Homeland Security senior advisor. I wanted an Experts Opinion on exactly how that sort of imperils our national security. And, you know, were going to start looking at a huge push of disinformation from our adversaries in the coming ten to 12 months as the fbi has put out in a warning statement, probably based in retaliation against the sanctions that President Biden has put in against vladimir putin. But that makes us extremely susceptible to disinformation. And when the country is so divided as it is, perpetuating that Big Lie just makes us more divided and puts us more at risk. I want to play another portion of your podcast from friday talking about your Sexual Assault, your own Sexual Assault in the military. I am a survivor of military sexual trauma. I am a disabled veteran because of it. And we pushed so hard to get them to take commanders out of the Chain Of Command. And this is whats not in the story, you know, hopefully i can help you understand this is the reason they want to take commanders out of the Chain Of Command because commanders have a vested interest in how many rapes and Sexual Assaults occur in their command. They can get in trouble for having too many Sexual Assaults in their command. And so, they tend to brush it under the rug. Its astounding to hear you talk about that the way in which you do, allison. Why do you think the effort to reform the way the military handles Sexual Assault cases has changed so little . I think theres a lot of reactionary politics going on here. I mean it was clearly a problem. We did the i was in the documentary The Invisible War in 2012 and thats when Kirsten Gillibrand really began her push to get commanders out of the Decisionmaking Process as to whether or not to prosecute Sexual Assault. And, you know, i think its the reason that its just been so slow going is because a lot of politicians and commanders were pushing back. They wanted to wait and see if maybe they could put together some programs that might deter or curb Sexual Assault. It just hasnt worked. And i think that now that we have that empirical evidence of it not working, theres a push now for a sea change, to change the tide and take the commanders out of the Chain Of Command. Not the Chain Of Command, but whether or not to prosecute these assaults. And so i think thats why it was quiet for so long and now its been brought to the forefront again. Honestly, Joni Ernst now has joined Kirsten Gillibrand and hes former national guard. She was a commander and a Sexual Assault survivor. Her daughter has had some issues at West Point as well. I think that that is actually helping getting a more bipartisan group of people together. And also lloyd austin, his First Act as our secretary of defense, was to assemble that commission to look into this issue. Its been a terrible ongoing pervasive issue for so long now and im so glad that its finally starting to see some steam. All right, allison gill, Thank You for sharing that for us.

Anger had been building following a failed attempt by The Club to form a breakaway European Super League last month. Protesters armed with fireworks taking over the field. The game now postponed. Take a listen to the nbc Sports Announcer Arlo white describing the scene there. There was a loud Rattling Sound and then the sound of voices getting closer and closer. Lo and behold to our righthand side the fans started pouring down the steps. There are no stewards that i can see. There is certainly no police in here. As you can see, there is smoke swirling around old trafford. There are fans on the Goal Net in front of the Stratford End and these are extraordinary scenes, the like of which ive never seen before. Joining me now from london, nbcs Molly Hunter with the latest on this. Give us more of the details of what actually took place, molly. Reporter hey, yasmin. Just extraordinary scenes as you just heard. You see those pictures, incredibly violent. Just to set the stage, Manchester United and liverpool were going to play an incredibly important game today. The Man U fans have been really angry about the super league but just general anger toward their american management. Manchester united is owned by Joel Glazer who also owns the Tampa Bay buccaneers. There were thousands protesting and hundreds broke in. Fans werent even allowed inside the stadium so to break in is a huge deal. And then to do the damage they did, you saw the flares and them throwing things. They say we understand the Respect And Strength of feeling but condemn all acts of violence. You didnt see any police in those video. The police did come and clear the scene. The entire scene is now clear. The police have told Nbc News two officers have been injured. One officer was attacked with a bottle and sustained a significant Slash Wound to his face requiring emergency hospital treatment.
