Card image cap

Right now on this Holliday Weekend get away day you have senators stuck in a Traffic Jum of sorts. They come back into session as we speak. Theyre trying to get to a vote on that January 6th commission. First they have to finish up this whole other debate on a totally separate and unrelated bill. Throwing up overnight and early morning roadblocks. We have the latest on timing as republicans get the first part of the Phil Buster. And we have new reaction on the Breaking News from overnight. Breaking news at it again. Just weeks before President Bidens Face To Face Meeting with vladimir putin. You have microsoft sounding the Alarm Warning of a new wave of attacks. Just ahead what the produce and the Prem Lin are saying and perhaps more importantly not saying. Im Hallie Jackson in washington. With you here on this Friday Morning. Along with leann caldwell. Also joined by barbara comstock. Senator Mark Warner expressed confidence or optimism that they would have it by yesterday, right . We didnt think we would still talk about this delay now, but its happening because a lot of overnight drama, right . Yeah, welcome to the senate, thats how things happen around here and No One knows when the vote on the commission is going to take place if it will be today or isnt it today . Do we think it might stretch . There are time limitations, so we could have up to 40 more hours if we stretch it into tomorrow. We dont think it is going to go there, but it is all related at this point to this china bill. There is procedural votes because of senate rules. The republicans are doing some things right now stretching out making the Senate Use all of its time before they can get to final pass of this china legislation. Once they do get to final passage, which again could be today, could be tonight, could be the middle of the night, could even be tomorrow, then democrats are committed to holding a vote on the January 6th commission. And that is what everyone is watching to see if they will come out to support it to move on to that legislation. Yesterday Senator Lisa Murkowski was talking to reporters about that legislation. She was critical of her members that she says doesnt want to find the truth. Also of Senate Minority Leader Mitch Mcconnell to find out what happened. Officer goodman was there, the hero that day leading the rioters away from the senate chamber. When she found that out she gave him a hug. You have Eugene Goodman guarding the very chamber that he was protecting the inhabitants of on January 6th. We just Cant Pretend Nothing bad happened. Or that people just got too excitable. It is important to lay that out. It is basically the leader of her own party who has been lobbying for days now. What chances between now and the other vote. Senator Susan Collins, who wants to see changes, the math just isnt there. The math is not there. There is only three republican senators in favor of defeating a Phil Buster and moving on to a vote. They need seven more and i dont know where they will find that seven. Some republican senators including Mike Braun of indiana said it will not get the 60 votes and it will be Phil Bustered whether or not they agree to the changes in structuring the staff that some like Susan Collins has back. And it gets to the fact that these are supporters of trump that attacked this capitol. Last night in a steech that was deeply symbolic in the future they had Speaker Ryan talking about President Trump. Lets Play Sound of what he said. Lets talk about that. If the conservative cause depends on the appeal of one personality then were not going year. Voters looking for threadleader. The former president just put out a statement moments ago aggressively attacking the former speaker of the house calling anymore a curse on the republican party. The civil war in the republican party is over. Donald trumps side one, Paul Ryans side lost. Republicans that want their elected officials to agree with President Trump most or all of the type and 10 said the opposite. Another american that minority is Paul Ryans running mate. When you look big picture at this moment, right, because it is the Trump Factor is at play here, that is just undenialble. It looks like it is not likely to happen and it puts Donald Trump under a microscope. The same former president that many republicans are trying to embrace as they run. We saw Paul Ryan trying to distance himself five Months Post January 6th here, but congressmen like Matt Gaetz and marjorie taylor greene, how do you see it playing out bigger picture . I spent yesterday with the mother of brian sicknick. His brother, and two officers, who was violently beaten on the front lines of the insurrection on January 6th as well as Officer Dunn who was attacked with racial slurs. It is interesting as we went and talked with them, it is a Big Super Fan of Donald Trump, and they just ingested all of this garbage about the garbage. If we have to do so in whatever means. We have to have this commission to show the american people who those people were that day. Who came, how they came, and what went on here. And it is disheartenning to think that we dont have ten republicans that vote to continue this. Im confident that regardless of what happens today this will be investigated. Those subpoenas will go out, well know who he called. Who was texting Donald Trump, ivanka, and people at the White House. How ahead to people got here. These investigations can be done, i did them. Im surprised the democrats have taken so long to subpoena these records themselves. Were going to continue to stand with these families, our police are hurting. Yesterday when they were showing that video of him being beaten to these members of congress, we asked them. We said talk to these officers as grow in there to vote. We were fortunate to meet with Senator Romney and lisa as well as Susan Collins and we ended our day with lisa murkowski. We thank her for fighting what i know history will show who is on the right and who will prevail. Im bondering if you had a chance to talk with mrs. Sicknick since this delay. It looks like the writing is on the wall here. Whats going through her mind . We are still pleading that they will do the right thing. This was not her type of thing to do. She didnt want to come but she could not stay quiet anywhere. Lisa murkowski said were so sorry that you feel like you had to come that the right Thing Wasnt being done. I think lisa expressed her views very well. Its tough on the families and the Capitol Police and the survivors. What they told the Senators Yesterday is were lucky we have not had more suicides. Our officers are hurting and they have not been heard from. We need this not just for our officers, but for our country. For the sake of history. These officers, these families are so looking into the face of that mom, those officers they will have to see every day when they go in to vote and dot right thing. Congresswoman, former congresswoman barbara comstock, thank you. I hope youre ready for what could be a long day. Maybe two or three. Well see. We want to get to that developing news this morning with new reaction coming in from that new Cyber Attack from russia and what microsoft warns is an active incident. The russian Hacker Group behind the solar Winds Attack targeting two dozen groups. The timing of the hack coming at such an incredibly delicate time, just three weeks before national security analyst, author of messing with the enemy, surviing in a social media world. Let me start with what we know here. What are you hearing this morning now from the White House and from your sources in the administration. Theyre essentially saying what you are right now. This could not have come at a more perilous time. What action will this administration take. The government saying they had no information about this attack, but we know it upported attacks like this in the past. They warned that they infiltrated an Email System for international development. Hitting more than 150 groups in at least 24 countries but really focusing right here on the u. S. The russian Hackers Burrowed in. They say it is the same behind that massive solar Winds Attack. This is the first statement from u. S. Officials. They say in a statement were aware of the potential compromise of u. S. Aid there an Email Marketing Platform and were working to better understand the extent of the compromise. I can tell you based on my conversations here behind the scenes theyre working to sort through exactly what happened. The reaction from the front line, which is unsurprisingly that they dont have any anything in mind. I think because it is what we have seen related to solar winds. They did a great job using signatures and thinking through different patterns that russias foreign intelligence has been using to do hacking. This is also consistent with the behavior and the targeting. Also, u. S. Government assets and Human Rights Organizations and think tanks. It fits the targeting pattern. I think the last thing to note is that it is using Third Party and what are american systems to target americans. One of the big challenges that we have right now in the country is who Depends Dot Come . Cyber command has part of the Dot Gov and dot mil protux. Its really a barrier for our organizations to defend the u. S. Domestically. We are constantly innovating targets. And they really picked it up according to the Microsoft Announcement in april. That was the same time the sanctions came out. They seemed to hint that there was more that the white House And Administration could do that they were holding back on for the moment. And now were three weeks away from the summit, what is the u. S. Going to do here. That is a key question. You point out something critical to this organization. The fact that President Biden, this administration, is very clear they did not want to escalate these tensions and these aggressions. So yes, they have slapped sanctions on russia . It is meddling in the 2020 election, and thats where it ended at this point. What is the administration and the president going to do. Will he enact a new round of sanctions just weeks before sitting down with President Putin . Would they consider pulling that bilateral meeting. They are asking that at this hour as they try to sort through what, if any action they will take. We know the senate came back in session 17 minutes ago as we were coming on the air. Timing and questions about what will happen with that January 6th commission vote. Well bring it to you live as we wait to hear from a member of congress on this show. Plus half of all of the adults in this country are vaccinated and 100 feel ready to party. Take you to what is expected to the be the biggest crowd in supports. Now prosecutors in brooklyn are looking to see if ukraine interfered in the 2020 election. We have one of the reporters who broke that scoop right here. Coming up. Ho broke that scoop right here. Comingp. U needles. Essential for sewing, but maybe not for people with certain inflammatory conditions. Because there are options. Like an unjection. xeljanz. The first and only pill of its kind that treats moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, or moderate to severe Ulcerative Colitis when other medicines have not helped enough. Xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections. Before and during treatment, your doctor should check for infections, like tb and do blood tests. Tell your doctor if youve had Hepatitis B or c, have flulike symptoms, or are prone to infections. Serious, sometimes fatal infections, cancers including lymphoma, and Blood Clots have happened. Taking a higher than recommended dose of xeljanz for ra may increase risk of death. Tears in the stomach or intestines and serious allergic reactions have happened. Needles. Fine for some. But for you, theres a pill that may provide symptom relief. Ask your doctor about the pill first prescribed for ra more than seven years ago. Xeljanz. An unjection. [sfx kids laughing] [sfx bikes passing] [sfx fire truck siren] onstar, we see them. Okay. Mother and child in vehicle. Mother is unable to exit the vehicle. Injuries are unknown. Thank you, onstar.

With 24 7 roadside assistance. Karmakarmakarmakarmakarma chameleon. This morning critical new reporting showing that foreign interference in the 2020 election came not just from russia but from ukraine. Federal prosecutors looking into several officials and whether or not they tried to facility the election forwards u. S. President Donald Trump and if they tried to use Rudy Giuliani to spread this disinformation. We know that he was under investigation there and the fbi conditions it. How does the rest of this tie in . Pull those threats for us. This is the other side of it. Rudy is being investigated by the southern district of New York. By aking on behalf of these same ukrainians the Remoe Value of the ambassador they are seen as blocking these investigations that the ukrainians saw as well as the investigations that Rudy Julianny was seeking. On the other side we have the earn district of New York. These are the federal prosecutors investigating the Ukraine Yaps and whether or not they are in this election. The u. S. Government decided that one of the priorities from a Law Enforcement Perspective would seek to clamp down on all efforts by actors. So this investigation is focussed on the ukrainians. One of whom is alleged to have been a russian asset. And there is a separate investigation of rudy and his dealings with the ukrainians. Explain the role that Andriy Derkach plays here. He is the target of the investigation out of brooklyn. He is one who the u. S. Treasury sanctioned and determined him an active russian agent for at least a decade and what he did in the election, the treasury was sort of the suggest of the treasury sanctions is he released a number of audio recordingings recordings. Our reading as our listening of these tapes suggesting that he is misrepresenting them. They dont necessarily reveal anything new, but the u. S. Treasury said that he had misleadingly edited them and formed this false narrative about corruption. Right as we were getting you hooked up we learned from one of your colleagues that a just judge gave this request for the appointment of a Special Master to review materials seized by sports in the Juliani Investigation saying it is to ensure the perception of fairness. We rr ported that the Special Master was under investigation, whats the significance of that. What happened here is the Justice Department executed search warrants on Rudy Julianny and his office as well as a lawyer that worked with joule guiliani. There could be potentially Attorney Client Information in the information seized by the Justice Department. A lawyer that sort of worked on the edges of trump world, so what a Special Master does is essentially holds the evidence like in escrow and then we valuates what pieces of evidence can be used in court and can be potentially released more confidently. So this is the judge saying that yes, there are Attorney Client Privilege issues here that we would be well served to have a Special Master overseeing. Ken, thank you very much. Appreciate it. Next up the future of Obama Care and discrimination against same sex couples all in the Hands Of The Supreme Court right now. Were giving you an inside look with the one person here at Nbc News that knows this best. First, an iconic Concert Venue holding the first indoor Vice President with lifted mask requirements.

Or 5 a month when you bring a friend. Powered by verizon. Wireless that gets better with friends. This is a holiday friday with three big numbers giving us all a lot to celebrate as go into the memorial day weekend. Were at nearly 50 of everybody across the country getting at least their first vaccine dose. And second for adults look at the other number, 62 . That means that President Bidens goal of 70 by July 4th may be more and more likely. Third, covid cases down 35 in the last two weeks. And that is the backdrop as tens of millions of americans hit the road or fly. They are looking for a book and governors have been warning us all to stay home. It is Alison Barner in fee any objection. The biggest Support Thing that we had in a year since the pandemic started. I can only imagine that you got to get behind the wheel in some way, shape, or form . Yeah, i got to ride with danica patrick. She will be in the Pace Car and she gave me a ride around here at the Indianapolis Motor speed way. We hit around 100 miles per hour, thats all i can say because those are the rules. Theres so much energy out here. Ill give you the real speed, but it was incredible because she was so calm and the drivers out here go faster than 230 miles per hour. It will be a great event on sunday. Part of the american fabric. Racing culture is american culture and people are so excited to be out here. I spoke with Fans Yesterday that said were vaccinated, safe, and so happy to be here. More than 130,000 fans will be here. The cdc gave guidance that you dont have to wear a Mask E Mask or socially distance. So theyre going to have ambassadors in the stands. Well see how that work out. I spoke with roger penske. He said were following all of the rules and working with state and local officials to make sure it is as safe as possible. To this point it is up to the fans. The people that come out here will be vaccinated. I can tell you im in phoenix, im also in a hot Air Expedition here. They have been operating for some 30 years. They tell us this is the busiest they have been in three decades. People are booking nearly every single day and a good two weeks in advance. They used to have a lot of international travelers traveling internationally they are coming from states near by and theyre just getting out near by. They said it was their first vacation since the pandemic began. One pilot said he hears stories like this all of the time. Theyre just happy to be out instead of sick of being home. We have been open for awhile and just booming. Business is really busy for us. And so it is not just fee any objection, aaa says they expect 365,000 people to travel to arizona this memorial day weekend. 37 Million people are expected to travel this holiday weekend. A 60 increase this time last year. Now lets get over to kathy park. Hey, kathy. Alison, thanks. The Mask Mandate goes away today as well as the indoor and outdoor social distancing requirements. That is certainly a big step forward. A lot of businesses including the Stone Pony, they were krurked by the pandemic and theyre holding on to the tourism dollars. Were told that typically there was hundreds of concerts every year, but they had to go virtual and they had to get creative. We are told that this weekend theyre filely bringing back live inperson concerts. Take a listen. I think it is great. I think that it is a sign of normal. The weather is not coming back, but the concerts may be pushed or delayed. There is a lot of excitement in the air in fact, youll nets behind me they set up a Beer Garden. They accept this space to be packed. And they will be lifting all indoor capacity Ri Strixs so you can bet that the indoors and the outdoor venues and the spaces here at the iconic Stone Pony will be packed for the summer months. I think tom just got another ride with danica patrick, but i think between the track at the indy 500, alison, youre in a hot air balloon, and kathy is in a Beer Garden in is it. Thank you so much. I cant wait to get in the field with all of you and your producers. We will come back and see you, and we will be in the full final sprint to The End of the supreme Court Term and the major rulings on cases with big implications that are breaking here. Here in the 10 00 hour. Youll watch them here with key issues hanging in the balance. We start with a decision of Obama Care in the works. We dont know if it is first timeline wise, but it is. And at stake is nothing less than the future of that law. And then a big case on religious freedoms. You could see some businesses and groups refuse to serve same sex couples. Another key case asked if schools can regulate off Campus Speech that can broaden what theyre allowed to punish students for. You give this incredible briefing about what to expect. I dont know how soon the Health Care Decision will come. It was argued the day after the election. So there is something going on and they cant quite agree over the majority and the opinions. How long will they have to wait, but its the big e, of course. Theyre saying the individual mandate is unconstitutional and blue states are saying even it it is you can carve that out and leave the rest in tact. It didnt seem like a majority of the argument would say yes. You can do this. This comes from philadelphia, they have provided homes for children, and theyre violating the contract and the Nondiscrimination Requirements saying they would not place them with same sex parents. There is a harrow narrow ruling. And the third case on student speech, a big one. How much authority do schools have when students are off campus. This is a huge case, the Cheer Leader Case from pennsylvania who was upset that she didnt make Varsity Cheer and she sent a salty Snap Chat that the school found reason to punish her. So what are their Speech Rights off Cam Pause . Pete williams, as we always say, the 10 00 a. M. Hour will be the most exciting hour that you have. Thank you for being with us. Back on Capitol Hill were watching the senate floor. Some time before lawmakers head out of town, probably today. That is Senaor Mikely. We have another democrat joining us live on whether or not Speaker Pelosi should appoint a select committee instead. Thats next. Instead thats next. After we make grilled cheese, then were eating grilled cheese. Because its time. Yeah. Time for grilled cheese. In business, its never just another day. Its the big sale, or the big presentation. Yeah. The day where everything goes right. Or the one where nothing does. With Comcast Business you get the network that can deliver Gig Speeds to the most businesses and advanced cybersecurity to protect every device on it all backed by a dedicated team, 24 7. Every day in business is a big day. Well keep you ready for whats next. Comcast business powering possibilities. Ive got moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Now, theres skyrizi. Things are getting clearer. I feel free to bare my skin yeah, thats all me. Nothing and me go Hand In Hand Nothing on my skin, thats my new plan. Nothing is everything. Achieve clearer skin with skyrizi. 3 out of 4 people achieved 90 clearer skin at 4 months. Of those, nearly 9 out of 10 sustained it through 1 year. And skyrizi is 4 doses a year, after 2 starter doses. I see nothing in a different way its my moment so i just gotta say. Nothing is everything. Skyrizi may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. Before treatment, your doctor should check you for infections and tuberculosis. Tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms such as fevers, sweats, chills, muscle aches, or coughs or if you plan to or recently received a vaccine. Nothing is everything. Now is the time to ask your dermatologist about skyrizi. This is the sound of change. Its the sound of low Cash Mode from Pnc Bank giving you the options and extra time needed to help you avoid an overdraft fee. Low Cash Mode on virtual wallet from Pnc Bank. One way were making a difference. Low Cash Mode on virtual wallet from Pnc Bank. At tmobile, were on our way to hiring 10,000 veterans and military spouses by 2023. And our commitment doesnt stop there. We always offer 50 off Family Lines on our military and veteran plans. Thats right, 50 off on americas most reliable 5g network. So through ancestry, i discovered my great Aunt Ruth signed up as a Nursing Cadet for World War ii. She was only 17. Bring your Family History to life like never before. Get started for free at ancestry. Com im only 21 to life like never before. But ive never been afraid of hard work. I waited tables to help my family make ends meet. I dreamed of going to college and the Kpmg Future Leaders Program helped me get there. With a scholarship, mentorship and support, i graduated with degrees in biology and philosophy. Now im on my way to become a doctor and im just getting started. The Kpmg Future Leaders Program. Empowering young women to reach their potential since 2016. The senate as we speak right now Senaor Mikely is still talking. Theyre talking about a unrelated bill about china. Im joined now by a democratic from ill and a member of the House Intelligence and overnight committee. We are looking at a time Line Shift here. Not enough votes to create this commission. Its unfortunate, hallie. Im deeply distressed that theyre not taking this vote with more seriousness and making sure it was passed. For senators on the fence is do i vote for this bipartisan commission or do we invite another attack on the capital. We Cant E Cant suffer another day like we did on January 6th. We have to get to the bottom of what happened and prevent that from happening again. Can you do that in a bipartisan manner . I ask because i wonder if you would support Speaker Pelosi going it alone setting up a select committee to look into what happened. You know as well as i do, we both understand, that republicans will almost certainly argue that that is even more partisan than this independent commission outside of the structures of congress. I think that between doing nothing and doing something namely that Ving An Inquiry and a select commission or committee, i think you have to have a select committee. And i think we will probably go in that direction, but hallie i think this is a chance for the senate to do the right thing. 35 democrats voting to pass this bill. It wraps up all of the business by December 31st as an equal five and five democrats and republicans on the commission. And then third and finally it makes sure that if any subpoenas are issued it would be done under bipartisan cooperation. So this is something they should take up. As you know it does not like like there are ten republicans that would sign on to that. Usa Email System was hacked. 150 groups been, 3,000 accounts targeted. How do you think the biden administration should respond and do you believe that President Biden should still meet with President Putin three weeks from now in gineva. My initial reaction is that what were doing right now is not working and we need to secondly look very closely at whether or not the u. S. Government should use some Third Party vendors for it hosting emails. At this point we have to decide who are the actors that we need to go after. Do we need to go on defense. At this point. Its time we go on offense. Thank you for your perspective and for making the time for us on this holiday Friday Morning. Coming up, the president is expected to speak in Northern Virginia to join the governor to talk pandemic progress. He has a little business to take care of. That business, his budget. A proposed 6 trillion, which this Country Hasnt spent since World War ii. The Biden Vision has Uncle Sam Spending as much as the gdp. Here is how this morning a few minutes ago Labor Secretary Marty Walsh defended the price tag. You believe this tackles the debt. How so . In the president s plan, he talks about raising the corporate tax rate. That would pay for the american jobs plan but also address the opposite. Shannon pettypiece is near the White House. We understand the president will leave to head across for the speech. A couple of pieces of context. Number one, we know that a Budget Proposal is largely symbolic from any White House. Its a statement of initiatives and position. The president and White House are saying, we believe in big government. You have republicans who after four years of saying very little about the debt and the deficit now are saying quite a bit about it. Third, on top of that, peoples taxes, the money that people pay to the u. S. Government might change depending on how much money you make if this were to become reality. Reporter right. Absolutely. The White House is defending this saying that this spending, needed to rebuild the economy to help the lower and middle class workers who they say even before the pandemic were struggling. Its aimed at a broad change in thinking about what role the federal government plays in peoples lives. It also, as you mentioned, raises taxes. The White House believes theres public support when it comes to raising taxes on the wealthiest americans and corporations. One of the president s closest advisers sent a memo around to staff with polling other Day Backing that public support up. This is largely symbolic. Its going to head to congress. This is a starting place for negotiations. Its unclear, even if democrats would unite behind this. We have heard from Joe Manchin raising a lot of concerns about debt and deficits. Shannon pettypiece live just down the street in washington. Thank you. Coming up, a Landmark Court Decision that could transform climate Change Policy across the globe. This one may be flying under your radar. It shouldnt be. A live report on this extraordinary development coming up. In our next hour, Craig Melvin sits down with three black Police Officers about what it has been like working in Law Enforcement over past year. It has been heavy. Disbelief, misunderstanding. At times its hopeless. We strive on. Oooh, thats a low price. Ooh, thats a low price. Huh. That is a low price. Whats a low price . Ahh, thats a low price. Can you let me shop . Hmm, thats a low price. I can get you a new one tomorrow. At amazon, anytime is a good time to save. I can get you a new one tomorrow. Vo Nobody builds 5g like verizon builds 5g. Thousands of engineers taking Peak Performance to a new level. Thats why in parts of many major cities where people can use massive capacity we added Verizon 5g ultra wideband, the fastest 5g in the world. Nice. It isnt just a step forward, its a leap forward. Because the more you do with 5g, the more your network matters. Its us pushing us. Its verizon vs. Verizon. And who wins . You. Think of what peanuts have given Humanity Fuel for vast Migrations Sustenance for Mountaineering Expeditions and long journeys across the world but most importantly . They give us something to eat when we drink beer. Planters. A nut above. Breyers is always so delicious. I can tell that they used your milk, matilda. Great job [moo] youre welcome. Breyers natural vanilla is made with 100 grade a Milk And Cream and only sustainably farmed vanilla. Better starts with breyers. Wanna help kids get their homework done . Milk and cream and only sustawell, an internetilla. Connections a good start. But kids also need computers. And sometimes the hardest thing about homework is finding a place to do it. So why not hook Community Centers up with wifi . For kids like us, and all the amazing things were gonna learn. 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. A new and unprecedented Court Decision is making History Today because of what it means for the fight against Climate Change and how its affecting kids around the world. Why . Because an australian court ruled the government has to consider how Climate Change might affect children when deciding on things that would impact the environment. That was the approval of the expansion of a coal mine. Members of the same generation who have been on the front lines of the climate fight, teenagers, eight of them bringing this lawsuit with one reacting to the decision. Young people are determined to be heard on climate action. That includes through strikes. But obviously, its a privilege to be heard by the court, to be there this direct communication with the government and be able to express our needs in legal terms. Let me bring in matt bradley. This is a very big deal. Right . Just because it happened in australia and not here doesnt make it less of a big deal. Talk to us about the case and the impact as you heard a young activist discuss. Reporter yeah, its flying under the headlines. Im glad you are bringing it up. One of the reasons why legal nerds like me are getting so excited about this case and one reason why its surprising is because the plaintiffs, who as you heard from, they are thrilled, they actually lost this case in a big way. This Mining Company that was trying to expand their Mining Operations in new south wales, the judge actually said that that Mining Company can continue to expand its Mining Operations and potentially continue to pollute. The reason you mentioned this was unprecedented. It is. The reason why its important is because in a common Law System where this was decided, it sets a precedent. That means that going forward as you mentioned, all of these governments, whoever comes after this current government and this current government included, theyre all going to be obliged by law to protect the future generation. You could call this the first shots fired in legal intergenerational warfare. It sets a precedent that not protecting the environment is in violation of the law. Thats going to have a strong principal going forward. One of those things that could have a domino affect for years to come. Matt bradley, im glad you brought us this story. We appreciate it. Coming up this weekend, nearly 100 years since the tulsa massacre, we will have special coverage all weekend long, live from tulsa, Remembering What happened, looking into the impact of it. You will not want to miss it. That does it for us for this hour on a Friday Morning. I appreciate you watching. In the meantime, Craig Melvin picks up our coverage right now. Good Friday Morning to you. Craig melvin here from Msnbc World headquarters in New York city. President biden is on his way to Northern Virginia. He is set to speak alongside Virginia Governor Ralph Northum there. That State Lifting Covid restrictions. Thats welcome news for millions of americans hitting the road for the holiday weekend. The first Big Holiday since so many states started
