Card image cap

Did colonial pay a ransom . What is being done to protect other companies . Well keep our eyes on that. And president biden held a virtual meeting with a group of bipartisan governors. The topic before them, the vaccine rollout, expanding access and how to convince the unconvinced. The White House still hopes to have 70 of all adults vaccinated by july 4th, but the pace of vaccinations have slowed over resent weeks and supply is outpacing demand in some states. Were watching to see how this weeks big announcement from the fda could change that, since the fda now approved the Pfizer Vaccine for americans ages 12 to 15. We could see shots in kids arms as early as this week. Vaccinating young people will be key to our return to normal. We know this is a big step for our country as vaccinating a younger population could bring us to a sense of normalcy and ending the pandemic, and the agency undertook Sign Tiff data as we have with all of our covid19 authorizations. Here to start the hour is Nbc News White House correspondent, mike memoly, and the ceo of resolve to save lives. And then the White House brief something set to start any second now. Yesterday the White House brought in national Security Officials to talk about it, and today they are bringing in the energy secretary, and the White House seems to be trying to make clear to the public that addressing this is a top priority. Thats absolutely right, jeff. We have seen it with the pandemic and now we are seeing it with this pipeline issue, that this is a White House that likes to put its experts and agency chiefs out front in a moment like this, especially to join Press Secretary Jen Psaki i almost called her governor Jennifer Granholm, and the Energy Department is leading the Task Force for the administration in dealing with the challenge. Yesterday as you mentioned we heard from the Homeland Security Adviser and the national Security Adviser that deals with the intelligencerelated aspects here, and today as the real concern becomes about Gas Shortages, especially in the south were already beginning to see that and we want to assure americans what steps they are taking in order to make sure theres not a disruption of gas supply, and we are head into the memorial day weekend, and thats one of the steps the white House Secretary Jen Psaki is tweeting about, saying all efforts from the Department Of Transportation is dealing with the waivers that could help get more fuel through other means if not for the pipelines on the roads. Thats what the White House is expecting to be discussing today, jeff, as the president has made it clear as well that this is an administration that is prepared to as it relates to the international aspects of the meeting with Vladimir Putin raised these issues as well. We will talk more about this in the show coming up. Lets table that for a second and talk about covid. What are your takeaways, mike, as the administration shifts its focus on people that have not gotten the vaccine and dont want to get out of their way to get the vaccine . Its about demand, and this discussion with bipartisan lawmakers is still going, and they are looking at the hard to reach populations, and one of the tactics mentioned, good old bribery works, and they are talking about a new program in her state, the Department Of Fisheries and while life, and minor league baseball team, Ll Bean all stepping Up To offer vouchers to get vaccines now, and thats one of the steps the White House has been discussing. The White House also touting a new partnership with lyft and uber, those rideshare services to get those people to vaccination sites for free. Whatever it takes, mike. Whatever it takes. Doctor, what is your advice to parents that ask why should i get my kid vaccinated . We face the risk of variants and the fact that kids can now get the Pfizer Vaccine from 12 and up really helps. It helps get all of us back to normal. It will help get our schools back open and back to Work And Learning and this is one of the things that will help us get to a situation where kids and the rest of us can get to the new normal, and thats why, jeff, its so important that we do continue to make vaccinations easier to, make it available in doctors offices, something that needs to happen more is to find the right messengers and messages for the different people, and we should not put our heads in the sand because if you look around the world its really bad, and doctors and nurses and older people in many countries are months away from having access to the vaccine. The only way forward is to do the best we can for the folks in the u. S. , and that means continuing to ramp up vaccinations while we urgently increase the sharing and the increased manufacturing of the effective vaccines, especially the pfizer, moderna, and potentially other vaccines proven to be safe and effective. Doctor, while we have you, a question about the cdc, and Bill Cassidy argued Health Experts need to move quickly to update guideens on what americans can do safely especially those vaccinated. Theres consequence to the kind of this delay as the Stat Article shows to the updating of these recommendations. The american people are incredibly frustrated, and they are beginning to disregard what you say that is true, because so much of what you say is pattenly not true, i have to wear a mask when i am outside and winds are blowing at 20 miles per hour, and it has been changed but only recently, and they are not believing those things that are true, and you have to be more real time. When we are talking about cdc officials, there are no bad actors here, but has the cdc been too cautious in providing guidance . The cdc is walking a tightrope. Theres new data coming out all the time and you have to incorporate the data into recommendations, and you dont want to be recommending something and ultimately people follow that and get sick. At the same time we are learning more about how important vaccination is, and one thing not widely understood, its not just about your vaccination, its about how many around you are vaccinated and how low the rate of covid is in your community, and the lower the rate of covid the higher the vaccination rate. Yeah, not always about what is good for the individual but for the group. Thank you to you both. New York City visitors can now add get a vaccine to their Big Apple todo list. They will offer Johnson Johnson vaccines to popup sites around manhattan, and those that stop by to get a shot will be offered free tickets and discounts, and the Tourism Industry has been hit hard by the pandemic and led to a Ripple Affect to many businesses. Joining me now is msnbc correspondent, chris jansing. Tell us more about the popup sites there in Times Square . Reporter yeah, they are in all the tourists people would want to go, here in time squares and the Empire State Building and brooklyn bridge park, and all of those ages where tourists, as long as you are of age and a citizen of the united states you can walk in and get a shot and leave with a lot of freebies. Theres passes to the bronx zoo, and even live performances throughout the city. I talked to one of the officials from New York City tourism. Heres what he told me. People have not had an opportunity to travel in more than 13 months, so theres an extraordinary amount of builtup demand, and you can get vaccinated while you are here and well take care of everything. Its one more thing that can make the trip more appealing. Reporter now, its not an exaggeration to say new York Tourism needs this boost, this shot in the arm if you will ignore the pun, and it was another Record Year in 2019 for New York City tourism, and last year they dropped to onethird of that and they are hoping this year it will go back Up To perhaps half or a little more than what we saw in the recordsetting year. Part of that is also related to covid. Theyre promoting New York City as a destination for the cafe culture, all those folks that spent money in restaurants when they could not have people indoors, continuing to serve people outdoors, and they are promoting that as a big part of the city. Just around the corner from me on 46th Street they announced to me hamilton and other Big Sellers On Broadway will be up and running in september. As you know, those shows cant operate at 25 to 50 capacity, and another sign that as new York Tourism officials say, new york is coming back. Thank you for that. Lawrence odonnell will sit down with President Biden Tomorrow as part of a Town Hall Discussion on how he and his administration want to combat vaccination hesitancy. Still ahead, tensions in israel, and there are fears this conflict could only escalate. Later, a defining moment for the republican party, but tomorrows vote to remove Liz Cheney, what it signals. And then the brown family can see more of the deadly encounter, and well talk to Reverend Sharpton on the calls for accountability.

Over the next 10 years, comcast is committing 1 Billion to reach 50 Million lowincome americans with the tools and resources they need to be ready for anything. I hope youre ready. cause we are. The biden administration is doubling down on efforts to assure americans that theres not a Gas Shortage after the Pipeline Hack Attack by suspected russian cyber criminals. While there may be no Shortage Gas prices are still headed towards 2. 9 2. 99 a gallon nationwide, and aaa said today Memorial Travel is expected to rebound in a big way after last years shutdowns, Up To 60 . That means lot more demand for gas, and soon. As Colonial Pipeline works to slowly get back online, and the East Coast is still without the source of nearly half of its fuel and as Security Officials were quick to point out yesterday, this is a privately owned pipeline, so theres only so much the government can do. Look at this from the national Security Reporter watching a congressional Hearing Today about Cyber Attacks. He says the purported Main American Cyber Security is another way to look at this. Theres no legal requirement that they look for more information. Big welcome to you both. Susan, simple question with maybe a hard answer, i dont know, but, look, this is a private company and how can the government do more to prevent attacks like this on private companies . Its a very fine line. Well, it is, except that is dhss mission, the cyber Security Agency has the mission of working with these private companies to help them to build up their security and their resilience, their Ability To operate even if theres a successful cyber incident. Colonial pipeline is certainly one of those critical functions that dhs has identified. We have worked with Colonial Pipeline, and i say we, thinking of my days back in dhs, even though they are a private sector company. The government responded fairly quickly to this attack in loosening restrictions, for example, on Truck Deliveries to try and reduce the impact of the Colonial Pipeline shutdown. Thats the kind of collaboration between the private sector and the government we need to see. I think this in many ways as an unwelcomed illustration of how vulnerable key Supply Lines can be, you have a Cyber Attack on the biggest Fuel System stretching from atlanta to new york and what is the administration doing to be more proactive instead of reactive . In many ways were lucky this was not an attack on the financial system where people could have lost their savings potentially . Thats a good point. As you indicated at the beginning, being quick and vocal to say theres not a Gas Shortage, and they are trying to prevent hoarding and panic, and they are right as far as a technical issue. Theres not a real shortage, theres plenty of reserves to fuel airplanes and cars for until this pipeline is back online, probably later this week. But beyond that, the administration is confronting a set of questions that previous administrations have to a degree pushed to the side which is, you know, we are only as safe as the weakest link in a partnership between the government, State Government and private industry that runs much of the Energy Infrastructure in this country, and as you pointed out, a private company may not want the government in their and learning what they regard as trade secrets, and thats why the pipeline has not proactively shared information that the public will want to know, and thats one question. And then beyond that, did this company pay ransom and what does the national security have and weigh in on that. Drivers across the East Coast are piling into Gas Stations resulting in long lines of what could be the shutdown of a Pipeline Due to a Cyber Attack. Gasoline is up 40 in just a week across many states, and 200 Gas Stations across georgia had run out of fuel by tuesday morning. So the impact here is huge. Its squeezing Gasoline Supplies and threatening a spike in gas prices. Give us a sense, though, of the other consequences of the Cyber Attack, perhaps the Unintended Consequences of it. Well, it will have a Ripple Affect, of course. This is not just potentially impacting Fuel Supplies at Gas Stations, and that impact is being driven, it appears from panic buying, because there really was plenty of petroleum in storage because of the low demand during the year of covid, and so there did not have to be this level of impact on supply, except for this panic buying. But this pipeline carries fuel not just for Gas Stations but also for airports, particularly baltimore and atlanta, and so you know, the pipeline the Colonial Pipeline say they expect to be back up by The End of the week and that should reduce the impact and the fact that they are not sharing information with Dhs On what happened and how this happened and what they are doing to get back up and running is troubling since dhs has authority to protect that information so it cant be used against them in a regulatory context or civil lawsuit, for example, to encourage just this kind of information sharing. Suzanne smalling and anne galding, thank you both. And then rockets from Gaza Target Tel aviv as more violence is unfolding in gaza, with deadly forces trading deadly fire. A Highrise Apartment was destroyed by israeli Air Strikes. Joining me now is Nbc News foreign correspondent. Molly, what kind of attacks are they bracing for in the region . Reporter i want to go back to the video you just mentioned, the residential building, there are 80 apartments in that in gaza, and our producer was told they were evacuated, and hamas, the military wing, the militant group that runs gaza warned they will who Tel Aviv and moments later our producer in Tel Aviv heard sirens in Tel Aviv and we are getting reports of 130 Rocket Attacks in Tel Aviv and this is the biggest barrage we have seen since 2014. There are reports of at least one person seriously injured. There are reports of a bus, thankfully, and it appears to be empty in a suburb of Tel Aviv that was hit. Prime Minister Netanyahu spoke at the Gaza Border earlier today and spoke about israel being in the middle of a campaign, and he vowed to increase the rate and the intensity of attacks and thats exactly whats happening, jeff. For context, we have been watching the Tension Rise in jerusalem over the last week, and we have watched israeli Soldiers Storm here, and this current cycle started up last week again, jeff, when a Court Case came to fore, jewish settlers trying to shake out some, and what we are hearing from Tel Aviv and gaza right now, we have not seen that since 2014. Molly hunter, thanks for that. Coming up next, senate democrats pushed ahead today with a plan to counter a flood of republican voting restrictions, but does the for the people act have any chance at passing .

Make more of whats yours. Not hyperbolic to say well likely define The Party for years to come. Cheney is likely to get ousted from her leadership position, and stefanik will likely take her place. Cheney has been outspoken about President Trump and his Big Lie about the election being stolen, and house republican leader, Kevin Mccarthy, and most republicans have chosen a different path. From politico quote, its important to remember this is about one mans ambitions and mccarthy has decided to turn on cheney and that has won him some favor with trump. One of The Partys most quotable senators, Lindsay Graham, laid out the big fear. If you try to run trump out of The Party he would take half of The Party with him. Joining me now is msnbc correspondent, Leann Caldwell and a. B. Stoddard. That quote from Lindsay Graham is pretty much the game, if they dont keep trump, he will burn down The Party. Yeah, thats what drove Kevin Mccarthy down to maralago after the statements he made after the January 6th insurrection, we know from reporting that mccarthy was screaming at him for help. But in the weeks that followed he went to kiss the ring, as we all keep describing it at maralago, because he was begging the prior president to not run a third party, and so with that kind of Passive Agreement under way, you saw a complete shift in Mccarthys Rhetoric about January 6th and all of it, and despite Cheneys Survival of the no Confidence Vote in february, mccarthy has been trying to get rid of her. Playbook has reporting out this morning that our team was talking about and theres a blind quote. It says a member of congress who is nor a member of the freedom caucus, said this, its weak leadership straight up. So give us a sense of your reporting. What has this done to the rank in File House Gop . Reporter well, jeff, it brought the former president right back into the center of everything that they are doing and things that they are talking about, something that mccarthy says he didnt want but is, in fact, actually happening, and this causes a lot of worry about primaries from the right and they are also worried about winning their elections in the purple districts, in districts that are not any longer fans of the former president. It is showing, as we have been talking about for over a week now, Deep Divides within The Party, and in my inbox we got a Fundraising Email from Mitt Romney defending Liz Cheney saying Liz Cheneys vision of The Party is the future of The Party, and the fact that you have Republicans Fundraising on the cheney side, it means this debate within The Party will just continue. A. B. , a senior aide to a conservative member of congress put it this way about mccarthy, he flipped flopped on January 6th on whether its trumps fault, he bends to political pressure. Thats tough to do when you are speaker, you have to lead. Is he leading by bending to the will of his party on this . We know from that first vote back in february where he basically said this is a big tent and he tolerated the uproar against Marjorie Taylor Greene while supporting Liz Cheney, and he thought he could split the baby that way and what he did was hang the rank in file out to dry and made them vote on whether Marjorie Taylor Greene could keep her committee assignments, and Thats Something a leader should have done, and he has shown himself to be a weak leader before this latest dramatic episode. He has a lot of critics and enemies, including hes in a heated competition for the top spot for steve scalise, the number two. Its not clear because he put stefanik in the Conference Chair that Kevin Mccarthy will prevail as speaker, and somebody like Donald Trump will support him, and hes never loyal to people for longer than he feels he wants to be. I think Kevin Mccarthy has chosen the shortterm path to get rid of his pain and he thinks the conversation will end, but as leann points out, the conversation will continue, and the Romney And Cheney opinions will not die. Thank you to you both. And then well speak with two people of why they say an instagram for kids is a bad idea. And then the brown family watching the footage of his deadly incident with police. Well talk about that coming up. Applebees irresistabowls all just 8. 99. With Hepatitis C. I felt i couldnt be at my. Best for my family. In only 8 weeks with mavyret. I was cured.

Com promo want to go back to the barrage of Air Strikes hitting gaza and now a barrage of rockets aimed at israel including the city of Tel Aviv. One reporter just tweeted this, sitting in the Safe Room in Tel Aviv with my families as sirens go off again and again, explosions heard every few minutes and the kids are crying and terrified. Joining me live from Tel Aviv, the contributor the axeios and an israeli news outlet. Give us a sense of the situation right now in Tel Aviv. Where are you and your family in Tel Aviv . What are you experiencing right now . Hi, good afternoon. For the last 30 minutes in Tel Aviv, its quite calm after six rounds of Air Raids that went off really every few minutes when you heard the sirens and then explosions after two minutes, and then, again, a minute or two later again sirens like that, six rounds, one after the other. Now we are outside of the Safe Room but things are still pretty sensitive and the instructions by the israeli authorities to not only people that live in Tel Aviv but also people that live in the entire central israel, thats the most populated area in the country, instructions are to be close to the Safe Room and not to go out of the building. This is in Tel Aviv tonight when hamas fired rockets at Tel Aviv, and this was an unusual thing when it comes to rounds of violence or escalations in gaza, and just imagine in southern israel, this thing has been going on for the last ten years. Yeah, and to your point we have not seen an escalation like this since The End of the 2014 war. You are reporting on this and living it, and give us a sense of what this escalation has been like for you and your family . You know, thats just from a professional and personal point of view, you know, i would thinking when is the next time i should write a story for axios, because i am waiting for something to develop because i didnt just want to report things that were not so interesting, and i said i will do it if there will be another escalation, and then the sirens went off and i said, okay, now i will write a story and then i had to go in the Safe Room and then i still didnt have a chance to write my story about the new escalation in the gaza war. That may be the professional story that also tells you something about how i personally feel. Absolutely. Our best to you and your family. We will have more on the situation there coming up next hour with my colleague. Our thanks to you. Meantime in North Carolina the family of Andrew Brown jr. Will be able to see more Body Cam Footage of his deadly encounter with police. On monday a judge ruled the family can view 18 minutes of the nearly two hours of footage. Its substantially more than what they have seen Up To this point but its still redacted to protect the identities of the deputies involved. Thats what the police say. The 42yearold Father of seven was outside his home and behind the wheel of his car when he was shot five times by Sheriff Deputies last month. The police were serving drugrelated Search And Arrest warrants at the time according to their account. That raid can be seen in part from a nearby surveillance camera. The only video of the incident to be made public. It shows deputies arriving at browns home. Joining me now is Nbc News correspondent, katie beck, and also the reverend al sharpton. Katie, we will start with you. What are we expecting today . Reporter we are expecting to seat brown family and representatives arrive momentarily and go through the footage, and the judge in this case determined that the parts that did not show brown in them were not relevant for the family to see, so moments before the shooting occurred and after, and there are several parts they will not be able to view today. They will go inside and watch this video with their lawyer, presumably several times and we expect them to come out and tell us what they saw. The trick is the public wont see anything they have seen, and the judge ruled he will not even consider the public review of the video. Today is a discloser, not a release, so the video is not leaving the building, the family getting the chance to view more of it than they were given before. They have only seen 20 seconds of the video before, so seeing 18 minutes will give them a better context of what happened. The brown family has been clear that they feel like it was an execution, a bad police shooting, that civil rights were violated. The District Attorney in this case made clear in court that he says Andrew Brown actually moved his car forward and backward making contact with deputies twice before any shooting began. Those details are yet to be deciphered and today we will not get a chance to look at that video, as i said, but we will hear more from the family as to what they have seen when they come out. Jeff . Reverend brown, i know you have grown close to the family the last two weeks, and they are fighting for transparency and one for accountability, and these are two battles intertwines, are they not . Absolutely intertwined. The purpose of having Body Cameras is for transparency and to having delays in the drip, Drip Kind of scenario, 20 seconds, and then a week or ten days later we will let you see 18 minutes but dont want you to see everything. This is not transparency and certainly not accountability. If the police had nothing to hide then why are they hiding the footage from not only the family but the community. The idea of having Body Cameras is so everybody can see what exactly happened and what didnt happen. If its their contention that Andrew Brown jr. Had backed into police or did something to police twice, that would be seen on the footage. Why wouldnt you put that footage out immediately when you have the whole city, the whole state of North Carolina focused on this and you refuse to be transparent and therefore hold accountable what the police did on this occasion . The private autopsy that the family had done came back saying that Andrew Brown was shot in the back of his head, in the back of his shoulders. Thats certainly not a seemingly Somebody Pb was a danger to you or moving forward towards you. After the family sees this video today, this 18minute snippet, really, what comes next for them . I think that what comes next is they will continue to put pressure on the prosecutors to bring this case forward, to go public, and the federal government to step in. Lets not forget, we are less than a week away from the federal government coming into minneapolis and indicting four policemen even after one of them had already been convicted of two counts of murder and manslaughter. So theres a different Justice Department now, and we are intent to keep this in the forefront of that because all we want is fairness. Reverend sharpton, and my colleague, thanks to both of you. And then calling on facebook to abandon the idea of building an instagram for kids. Two of them join us next. Clearly, velveeta melts creamier. Mm. [ clicks tongue ] i dont know. I think they look good, man. Mm, smooth. Uh, they are a little tight. Like, too tight . Might just need to break em in a little bit. You dont want em too loose.

Five blades and a Pivoting Flexball with 24 7 roadside assistance. Okay. Designed to get virtually every hair on the first stroke. So youre ready for the day with a fresh face for a fresh start. For a limited time get a 5th Cartridge free. 44 State Attorneys General are joining together to urge facebook to abandon plans for an instagram for kids. In a letter to ceo mark zuckerberg, the ags expressed concerns about childrens physical and mental Safety Online and uncertainty about Facebooks Ability to, quote, protect the Safety And Privacy of children on its platform. Now, facebook insists their instagram for kids would be safe and free and come with parental controls. Now, wherever you fall in this debate, its starting a new conversation about kids and Social Media, which is already a complicated one. Joining me now is republican attorney general Dave Yost of ohio and democratic attorney general Mark Herring of virginia, thanks to you both for joining us. Attorney general yost, this joint letter cites specific concerns about kids and Social Media. You write, privacy issues like the alarming rates of Cyber Bullying. Is there anything that facebook could do to convince you and other ags that instagram for kids would be safe . Well, the product doesnt exist yet in the wild. So its a little bit difficult to be able to say what that might look like. All we have right nowing to by is the common experience that anybody that gets onto facebook can see, which is that they dont even enforce their own rules all that well. The experience on facebook is very uneven. And we see Cyber Bullying happening there even though that is ostensibly against the rules. Attorney general herring, Space Book rather, a Facebook Spokesman told the Washington Post that kids are already online so this is just a way to improve parental controls. Is there something to that argument . There is a youtube and also a youtube for kids. Childspecific social Media Platform really opens them Up To exploitation by both predators as well as Cyber Bullying. Let me take up the predatory aspect first. In 2020, Facebook And Instagram reported 20 Million child sexual abuse images. And as attorneys general, one of the most important and difficult roles that weve is to protect vulnerable people, especially our children. And it also opens them Up To Cyber Bullying. A 2017 survey reported that 42 of young instagram users had experienced Cyber Bullying. These social Media Platforms for kids, 6 to 12 years old, really carries some distinct harms to young children. It was very concerning in congressional testimony that mr. Zuckerberg really dismissed the connection between Social Media and those distinct harms to children. Ag yost, what do you say to republicans who point out that, you know, the gop is usually for less regulation and a Free Market and this is the government essentially doing the opposite here . Well, look, were against, as a party, the idea that government has to give you permission to do things that are not harmful. But we all support rules that keep consumers safe. We all want people to drive on the right side of the road and not crash into each other. These are just things that we have as a duty, republicans or democrats, to keep Control Over look, you have a situation where youre creating an electronic playground. You might as well just be putting out a Neon Sign that said, predators look here. Grooming, boyfriending, these things already happen at large in the cyber world. Adding an electronic playground is only going to exacerbate the problem. Attorney general herring, do states have the tools to limit access to this app . If it comes to that, once it comes online .
