I want to start with the news out of texas. Nbcs Ali Vitali has been following all of the twists and turns from d. C. Ali i. What is going on . Steph, they killed the bill but only for now. By walking off the floor Last Night, they made it so there werent enough lawmakers present in order to actually vote on this bill before the Midnight Deadline but this only bought democrats time. As you said, the governor is stepping in and we heard from lawmakers Last Night this was one of the last arrows in their quiver as they tried to stop this legislation. Listen. We use all of the tools in our toolbox to fight this bill, and tonight we pulled out that last one. They were prepared to cut us off. They tried to silence us. We were not going to let them do that. We killed that bill. Again, steph, they killed that bill for now. Were going to see the next chapter of this unfolding in very short order because last Night Governor Abbott called for a Special Session almost immediately after this bill failed to pass. In a statement he called Election Integrity an emergency that remained in the state of texas and said legislators will be expected to work out the details of Election Integrity when they arrive at the capitol for the Special Session. This Special Session is something only abbott could call. You have to remember here because this is operating in the background of everything, hes up for reelection next year. This is one of his top priorities so a lot of pressure will be on him to call for this Special Session and pass this legislation through in the coming days and weeks. But theres also pressure coming from democrats, steph. Not just the democrats in texas who fought off repeated attempts to pass this voter registration, but also calling on democrats here in washington to pass the federal legislation thats been languishing in senate in part because it cant overcome the threat of a filibuster. Now Theres Pressure to not just pass as one the legislation to shore up Voting Rights but also do so by getting rid of the filibuster and democrats to start governing like theyre actually in the majority, which they are right now, steph. Ali vitali, thank you. Lets talk about the weekend. Millions of americans are returning home after a long Memorial Day weekend. This is the the first major Holiday Weekend since weve seen so many americans see the vaccine. What a difference a year makes. A scene like this, look at your screen now, at yesterdays Indy 500 was unthinkable one year Ago. 135,000 fans packed into Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the largest gathering since the start of the pandemic. It was also back to normalish at bostons fenway park, where Capacity Limits were officially lifted and at airports, a new pandemic record. Nearly 2 Million travelers on friday, and i can tell you despite freezing, awful, terrible rain here on the jersey shore, people were packing it in. Bars, restaurants, even barbecues, people were partying. Our Nbc News Team is out and about this Memorial Day. Cal perry is with travelers in maryland. Maura barrett in the suburbs of philly. Be were at Arlington National Cemetery where were expected to see President Biden in the next hour. Cal, i got to go to you first. You are at one of the busiest Rest Stops in the region. Besides people being absolutely furious about the miserable weather, what are they telling you . Its really sad this is the first sort of brilliant day of weather we had all weekend and its a little bit of a grind today for folks. This is the day, obviously, when people are headed home. 37 Million people hitting the roads over the weekends. About 2. 5 million to 3 Million here in the d. C. , maryland, virginia area. Gas prices have been on peoples minds, about 1. 08 higher than what we saw a year Ago. As you said, this is a busy place it was a busy place during the pandemic. Its 8,000 to 10,000 people every day to come through this Rest Stop during the pandemic. Its increasing about 30 every week in the past month. Today is no exception. Were also talking to people about their travel patterns. The world has changed and so has Peoples Travel patterns. We had a chance to speak to the Points Guy about this over the weekend. Take a look at what he said. What people should know this is no longer a friday to sunday rush. Now people work from Home And Travel at different times, we are seeing new rush hours on completely separate days. So i would recommend people try to leave as offpeak as possible, as early in the morning. Regardless of working from home, a place like this, about 2 1 2 hours south of new york city, hour and a Half North of d. C. , should be busy throughout the day, stephanie. Lets turn to our nations philadelphia, pennsylvania, with maura barrett. Whats going on there . I have been here where people stayed inside for quarantines but the streets are blocked off for a better reason. The parade was originally canceled but put back on because pennsylvania is officially lifting all of its contradictions today, restaurants, bars, entertainment venues all can operate at 100 capacity, with the exception of philadelphia, they will be lifting their restrictions later on this week. Nearly 70 of adults in pennsylvania have received at least one dose of their vaccine, so there is a Mask Mandate statewide still in place. Those Are Unvaccinated. That will be lifted at the end of the month or until 70 of adults are fully vaccinated. We can see people clearly getting excited and ready for the parade here. Theres chairs lining the streets already in anticipation of it. I spent the weekend here talking with Business Owners and Community Members who expressed how excited they are to see a tradition like this come back to normal. I asked these Business Owners about their outlook for the Summer Season ahead. To actually be able to put into action all of the stuff that i saw happening when i started this store is really exciting. Just to see life come back again and know people are feeling hopeful about things, its a positive thing. Its a very positive thing. It feels back to normal. It feels like we can go back to looking at what we were planning on doing in February 2020 and reestablish that without being scared, worried, just get back to doing this the way its meant to be done. Both james and chris that you heard from there were newer Business Owners just ahead of the pandemic, having to shutdown and get creative with their sales to survive. Chris acknowledging not all of his members of his community were able to make it through the pandemic. Hes proud of his success. And this town is proudly supported by a lot of independent Business Owners. They supported Each Other and got creative to maintain their business. You about now coming on the other side, theyre excited to see their customers in person again and excited to see smiles on their faces. Steph . No doubt, maura, thank you. Lets get serious and turn to our Colleague Courtney Kubier at Arlington National Cemetery, where President Biden will lay a Wreath At the Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier in the next hour. Good morning, what can you tell us about the president s visit . Thats right, this is the 153rd year this ceremony has been held at the Arlington National Cemetery. It dates back to just after the civil war, steph. Today like we expect President Biden will lay a Wreath At the tomb of the unknown. Then we will have brief remarks from him and secretary of Defense And Chairman of the joint chiefs, secretary mark milley. This year will look different this year than last year. We stood in this exact same location last Memorial Day. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, no outside no members of the public were allowed into Arlington Cemetery at that time. Just last week arlington, and a number of other veteran cemeteries across the country, reopened to the public. So for the first time this time this Memorial Day, now we will have members of the public here. The ceremony is always a very somber event, where there are members of all of the military services there, the Military Bands and we will, of course, hear 21 Gun Salute that is in honor of President Biden and they will pay t. A. P. S. After the memorial wreathlaying. The ceremony e. As i said, its always a very somber event. We should expect to hear exactly similar what we heard from President Biden yesterday at his Memorial Day speech, where he will honor the Men And Women who have died over the years, Men And Women in service to this country, steph. Courtney, thank you. Lets bring in dr. Madad. Extraordinary achievement between Science And Vaccine rollout. The fact here we are with more than half of americans fully vaccinated, thats extraordinary news. However, that also means the other half of the country isnt vaccinated. How concerned are you about another surge after the holiday . Thank you for having me on. When we look at the current trajectory at the pandemic in the united states, were at a totally different chapter. When we looked at the peak in january, we were clocking in over 250,000 pieces. Now were at 70 hours and 20,000 pieces. Were certainly in a much better state. As you mentioned, when we look at the coverage, there are still pockets around the country with not great vaccination, like The Deep South compared to the northeast. I think we could divert and will not see large surges moving forward but those unvaccinated still remain vulnerable. Now the risk is who is unvaccinated and what risks are exposed to them . And the risks of those vaccines, we know they can resume prepandemic life and all activities become safer thats theyre vaccinated. For now safely thoses vaccinated versus those not vaccinated and those who surfed covid19, its a time to understand everybodys vaccinated so we can get back to the activities that we all enjoy doing. We should remind, vaccines are available for all adults across this country. Please get yours if you havent yet. I do want to go global. Theres a new extremely contagious Covid Variant thats been discovered in vietnam, doctor. What can you tell us about that . I think its one thing for us to start off with the virus continues to mutate. Its ongone, the pandemic is raging around the world. As we look at different variants happen and around the world, the b. 1. 617. 2 in india, we know this is something affecting many, many nations. The vaccinations are holding up. The variant in vietnam is something to keep a close eye on but its a variant of concern and interest. We are having ongoing surveillance, people that Are Unvaccinated understand they need to get vaccinated. The vaccines are readily available here in the u. S. We need to do a better job with Vaccine Equity around the world. Vaccines have not been administered to everyone. So we need to do a better job. Doctor, thank you. And to all of our reporters across the country covering this Memorial Day weekend. Now we have to turn to our College Sam Brock in miami, where a massive manhunt is under way. Police looking for three suspects who opened fire at a Banquet Hall early sunday morning, killing two and wounding 20 other people. Nbcs Sam Brock is in miami. Sam, are police are police any closer to tracking down these suspects . What in the world happened . Yes, steph, short answer to that question is no. When we spoke with Miamidades Police Director yesterday, he said they have absolutely no idea where these suspects are. That said, were awaiting a Press Conference in about 45 minutes. There is Video Surveillance of what happened. We just havent seen it yet. Maybe that gets released. Police were also out and interviewing the dozenplus people who had suffered gunshot wounds. Steph, there were 20 people originally injured. Three of whom critically, two people also died. This scene right now was is so different than it was 24 hours Ago. You look over my shoulder and see a Couple Police vehicles behind me. It was littered with officers yesterday, detectives and evidence markings for all of the bullets. There were close to 100 of them, stephanie. As you described, police said an suv pulled into this Parking Lot some time between 12 00 a. M. And 1 00 in the morning sunday. Three people waited in the Parking Lot for 30 minutes at least, maybe more than that according to police. When they saw their targets come out of the Banquet Hall, they left the car and unloaded dozens of rounds of ammunition with assaultstyle weapons acrossing according to police. People who got shot were apparently collateral damage. Heres the Police Detective describing the nature of the shooting. They were not just shooting to shoot. They were there intended. They sat in the Parking Lot for a while, drove around to the business and whoever they thought they were going after, they came out of the Vehicle Commando Style and just started shooting, jumped back in the vehicle and fled. The bigger picture here, stephanie, this was the second Mass Shooting in the Miami Area in the Memorial Day Holiday Weekend. To show you just how prevalent this has become. Numbers speak for themselves. Gun violence archive, 237 Mass Shootings this year. 427 in 2019, 610 in 2020, during the pandemic, and who knows what we pace out to this year but this is certainly not the Trend Anybody wants to see. Stephanie . No, it is not. Sam, stay close. Keep us up on any developments you learn after that Press Conference. Ahead this hour, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said time is running out to get a bipartisan done on infrastructure. So where are we on it this morning . Plus, just because republicans voted to block a January 6th commission does not mean its over. As we head into break, heres a live look at Arlington National Cemetery on this Memorial Day. Vo Nobody builds 5g like verizon builds 5g. Thousands of engineers taking Peak Performance to a new level.

The biden administration is putting senate republicans on the clock, one more week to see if they can get on the same page in terms of and infrastructure deal. If not, democratless have to go at it alone. Heres Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg weighing in. I think were getting close to a Fish Or Cut bait moment. We agree this cant can go on forever. The american people want result. I want to bring in Nbcs Garrett Haake on Capitol Hill and the cofounders of punchbowl news. Garrett, i dont mean to be sassy but what does that mean . Real deadline, so the deadline, republicans have one more week or else what . I would frame it definitely. It sounds to me that Pete Buttigieg was putting a deadline on the White House. Remember, it was republicans who gave the last counteroffer last week. House and senate are out this week. Congress isnt here. The White House, frankly, has a decision to make along with their democratic allies in both dham burrs, do they think republicans are sincere. Do they think Senator Capito and her colleagues can deliver the votes for something to be done in a bipartisan way or is there time, like Secretary Buttigieg said there, to Fish Or Cut bait and try to go it alone through reconciliation. Thats not an easy process and only going to work if democrats are convinced they have all of their votes ready to go. Really the ball is in the white Houses Court right now. And where do you see things going over the last week . Is i heard on thursday President Biden said to his senior staff, i dont want to go reconciliation. Find a way to work with republicans. Is that happening in any significant way . Its clearly Joe Bidens desire for them to figure out a way to move forward in a bipartisan fashion. I think to garretts point, reconciliation will be a lot harder than people actually anticipate who havent been a part of this process, getting all of the democrats on the same page is going to be extremely well. The other thing i think is important to think about is just how far apart republicans and democrats are on these issues. Yes, theyve come closer together. Yes, republicans did tee up their latest proposal. But theres a lot of base in terms of how much money they want to spend, what their priorities are, does it include electric vehicles . How do you define infrastructure . Since were still talking about that, its hard to see those things being reconciled over the next week. Jake, the president will talk to Senator Shelley Moore Capito this week. She is the Person Sort of representing republicans here. If she does come to some sort of agreement with the White House, is that going to stick . Does she speak to the rest of her party . No, absolutely not, not in any way, shape or form. We have to see if one day she might or might not. But as Garrett And Anna know well, we talk to a lot of republicans on Capitol Hill, not very few but a good portion are not interested in a trillion dollar bill. Steph, I Cant emphasize enough the space right now between the White House and republicans. I mean, i dont know how its bridgeable if youre if they dont even count how theyre raising money in the same way. So i really just dont understand how theyre going to pay for this thing. Thats the big hangup to me. I think you can get there on the Spending Portion of the bill but when it comes to raising nearly a trillion dollars in revenue, i just dont see it. Mine, theyve not moved any closer to Each Other. The republicans last offer said they wanted to use unspent covid Stimulus Money. The White House doesnt even agree there is unspent covid Stimulus Money that can be used. So given all of that, i simply dont understand how theyre going to get anywhere closer to Each Other. Okay. Them given all of that, anna, one week from now were all having the same conversation again. There isnt a deal. Then what happens . Are all democrats even on the same page if they do go at it alone . Thats going to be the Big Question, right . I dont think you have democrats on the same page. Progressives want one thing, Moderates Something else. Where is john manchin, thats always the Big Question were asking . The point is they then have to look to july to pass a budget because they have to did a 2022 Budget Reconciliation around that. I think it will be much, much, much more difficult than people on the outside that think we will pass this on reconciliation if we cant get republicans to agree to the bigger deal. Thats a much more nuanced and tricky process for the democratic leadership and Joe Biden because this Isnt Covid Relief where you have a bunch of thing thats have you voted on several times by The Party. Infrastructure means a lot of different things to a lot of people different and theres going to be such big competing priorities, i think its a lot to hear. Nobody can define it and it isnt hasnt gotten to the parliamentarian who can look at this thing and say a whole lot of this content doesnt count as infrastructure. Garrett, i want to turn before we go and talk about the January 6th commission. Almost a dozen senators didnt even bother casting a vote. How did they justify that, it wasnt a priority . The moral justification is probably between them and their Priest And God but the logistical justification was they did not want to see this at all. They i wanted to take as much air out of the balloon as they possibly could. We said this all along, the republicans tried to make this horrible day go away for them. They didnt want to be talking about it six months from now or year from now during the next election cycle. So to walk away from that vote is in a weird way politically consistent. It makes it all seem less important. Thats what their goal has been all along. Watch any of the footage, any of the videos, talk to anyone there, any of the Capitol Police officers or their families, they would not tell you it was not a day of significance. For many, it was the most significant in their entire lives. Jake, anna, garrett, thank you very much. Im sure you will all be back soon especially as we discuss these negotiations or lack thereof.

But a number of businesses still have a major challenge, hiring seasonal workers. Many who usually come from overseas are now having a problem getting here. I spoke to a number of businesses to find out the real reason behind this shortage. Greg and sally own Camp Hill Croft and Kids Cant wait to come back. But theyre worried they wont have enough stamp, especially counselors who need j1 visas. The ask not to bring our international staff over is something that keeps us awake at night. Reporter because of covid, the u. S. Has a Ban On Travel for 33 countries. Many where these workers come from. Theres also a back log to process j1 visas. Without all of the counsellors, gymnastics like swimming could look different with current staff doing double duty. But lack of visas for workers is causing all sorts of problems for employers across the country. They rely on j1 workers during peak tourist season. As a result they actually help keep americans employed in those places. Reporter last month over 500 companies urged the Secretary Of State to defer parts of the visa process, calling the situation a crisis. The State Department says its waived some interviews to speed up the process. Its great that the State Department took that action, but its not enough. Reporter Cal Harrah resorts owns four Water Parks and hires about 700 year seas workers. This summer, maybe 100. The J1 Visa Program is vitally important for tourism in america. Reporter they offered beanouses, relocation packages and even housing to find employees. But for sally, the issue is a personal one. I came over on a j1 visa. Little did i know i would end up marrying the camp directors son. Reporter summer is here. Will the workers be . Joining me now to discuss, austan goolsbee, former chairman of the council of economic advisers. There are all sorts of reasons were not seeing people back to work, whether its international workers who cant get j1 visas, childcare issues, health issues, take your pick. But does all of this get worked out in the next couple of months. I mean, youve got all of these businesses at the same time trying to rehire. Thats going to settle down come september. I think thats right. The thing to remember is we never hired as many people as rapidly as the economy is doing right now. We have never grown as fast as we planned to be growing coming out of this downturn. Its interesting that in all of the countries, or in many of the countries where theyre coming out of covid, if you look at the uk, for example, they got a bunch of the same Labor Shortages and they cant find chefs to cook in quick restaurants, and if they have summer camps, theyre going to be having the same problems. I do think a lot of this is just because when the town reopens after the winter, youve got to brush out the spiders, youve got to open a bunch of problems and hopefully they can be worked out over the short run. The new york times is actually reporting that this could be good for teenagers. Higher wages, more incentives, is that whos going to fill a lot of these roles . I can tell you my 15yearold started his firstever paying job Last Night scooping ice cream. And to be honest, we couldnt believe what a good job he got. I thought you were going to say, you were down there as the first customer. Then it would have been impressive. We actually went in shifts. So it would seem like there was more customers on a rainy night. Thats good. Thats good. I went, mom, husband, separate customers. Dont tell the boss is like this kid is bringing in business like no One Theyve ever seen. But i do think teenagers, youre going to see some come back. Now, it partly depends how much you think the covid disease is a component of why people are not willing to go to work. And ive been, for a long time, pretty big advocate of that view. Now teens can get the vaccine but the Vaccination Rights of teens still remain much lower than of older adults. So whether teens can fill the entire holes is probably dubious but i do think youre going to see a lot of nontraditional or ancillary parts of the job market, where its going to be quite strong because theres a lot of demand and were trying to put more people back to work faster than ever before. We are seeing pockets of it but do you really think we are going to see any significant Wage Increase that could stick with us for a while. You and i have been discussing the last few years, worried that wages werent just going high enough at any fast pace. Are we finally seeing it happen now . Years weve been talking about that. We certainly saw for a month that wages were up. But, you know, i want to see some sustained real Wage Growth over and above inflation before were going to count this as a victory. And its worth remembering, the sector thats having the hardest time hiring people, theyre still hiring a lot of people but leisure and hospitality, if you look at restaurants the minimum wamg for taped worker is a little over 2 an hour. You can see when tips are down during the pandemic, there are a bunk of people who do not want to go back to work for 2 an hour. So i think we need to see sustained Wage Growth for this to be a success. 2 an hour with the hope you get a big tip, or you can be the well over A Million people that arent not working that shifted to warehouse jobs, where they start at 15, 16, 17 an hour regular shift and get health care. Its more likely a Labor Shift than a labor shortage. And maybe when you realize being a Line Cook is not a lowskill job, its a highskill job, i dont think either One Of Us would be very good at it. Austin, thank you four being with us. I appreciate it. 100 years Ago today the future of hundreds of people changed forever and members of that community are still demanding vuts. Im asking you today to give us some peace. Please, give me, my family, and my community some justice. The very same year that we were married. Thats 1958.

It is one of the worst incidents of racial violence in u. S. History, and it was swept under the rug for decades and decades. Our Friend And Colleague Harry Smith traveled To Tulsa for a revealing look back. Reporter on june 1, 1921, 9yearold El Doris was awakened by her mother. What her mother said next, she never forgot. She said we have to go out, get out. She said, the white people are killing the other people. Reporter El Dorous grew up in the Greenwood Area of tulsa, a buoyant, bustling community of some 10,000 africanamericans. There were schools, churches, stores, theaters and a hospital. It was a place where for africanamericans, The American Dream was working. Reporter Scott Is A Tulsa native. Hes been searching for the truth about what happened for most of his life, reporting his findings in his new book the groundbreaking. Something happened in an elevator in Downtown Tulsa between a 19yearold Shoeshiner named Dick Roland and 17yearold white Elevator Operator named Sarah Page. Reporter a scream from page leans to rolands arrest the next day. And then a Lynch Mob gathered outside the house where hes jailed. The mob gets large, 500, 800 people. Reporter and A Group Of Black Men show up to help defend him. As theyre leading an elderly white man to a Tall Black area, he said where are you going with that gun . A tussle ensues, Gun Goes Off And Massacre begins. Reporter the mob in pursuit, Gun Battles Erupt but somehow it is quiet overnight, until the next morning. All of a sudden theres a whistle that goes off and at that point, this White Mob starts walking toward greenwood. Reporter El Doris and her family plea, running north up a set of railroad tracks. The crowd was up the whole of the railroad tracks, down the sides and rail. Reporter the residents of greenwood try to defend their neighborhood but dont have a chance. The national Guard Sflam with Machine Gun Fire and it gets worse. You have something new up in the air and airplanes start flying over greenwood. Theres evidence, and i believe this firmly, at least on one of the airplanes a copilot is dropping sticks of dynamite down on greenwood. Airplanes was raining down with bullets, and i could see them and i heard them and i was so frightened. Reporter greenwood is left a smoldering ruin. 9,000 people left homeless, the dead uncounted. Estimates range from 75 to 300. El doris lived until 2010. Her granddaughter, Joy Ma Couldnt which i, keeps her story alive. What did tulsa lose by having that entire neighborhood destroyed . The glory of a bright city shining on the hill. Reporter El Doris and other survivors gave testimony to the Tulsa Race Riot commission, a commission that ultimately recommended reparations for the survivors. The state had a great opportunity. They turned it down. Instead they gave each survivor a gold plated medal. Reporter a sorry substitute for the enormous loss. Why should the Sins Of The Father be visited upon the son . Reporter uhhuh. Ill tell you why, because the wealth of the father went along with the Sins Of The Father, and that wealth was visited upon the son. Reporter a lingering question is where the victims were buried. The commission identified three potential mass gravesites. One has yielded a dozen caskets. But theres another site never filmed before that has scotts attention, near a Homeless Encampment above the arkansas river. In 2002 a retired Tulsa Police Officer named Bob Paddy told us about being shown a photograph showing a trench with bodies in it. You can see a Steam Shovel behind it. So its our supposition that its here. And the homeless are very much convinced that Theres Something evil in the canes right there. Reporter Gavin Ross is chairman of the mass graves investigation. Do you feel like tulsa has come to grips with this very dark day 100 years snag. I wouldnt say grip, i would say tulsa has come to make that first step. Reporter joy will be taking her own steps to come to terms with the past, organizing a Century Walk for june 1st, retracing the same route her grandmother took some 100 years Ago. Were going to walk a mile in their shoes as they escaped on this railroad track. Thats the only way i feel i can make my grandmother proud. Extraordinary to watch. Joining us now to discuss, Oklahoma State Senator kevin matthews. Hes the chair of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre centennial commission. Its hard to watch this for many reasons, but for years and years, this horrific part of u. S. History was hidden. It was not in my High School social studies class, and i dont think it was in yours. What do you want americans to know about what happened there 100 years Ago . Thank you, stephanie. I want them to know that im 61 years old, and it wasnt taught to me in schools, even here in the black community. Nobody talked to me about it in my family until i was in my early 30s when my grandmothers brother, my great uncle came To Tulsa for a Family Reunion and gave me a vhs tape. Many people might not know what that is but i learned about it in my 30s. What i want people to know is this, that horrific incident, one of the worse massacres of americans upon americans, domestic terrorism that happened against people in businesses, and were still suffering the effects. The first part of what were doing is just trying to tell their story transparently, what happened before 1921, what happened on that day, what happened after that. And then how it was destroyed again by Urban Renewal and then what happened after that. The resilience. There are many more things that have to happen but i believe the story needs to be hold transparently in an effective way and thats what is going to be happening June 2 when we open these this History Center around telling the history. And then there are many more complex issues were going to be addressing at that time. Why didnt you learn about it . Why hasnt it been part of American History . You know, people called it tulsas dirty secret. I think the people in the government at the time were embarrassed by it, even though we believe because of the Red Summer from 1919 through 1921 or so this happened across the country. So we believe the Dick Roland, Sarah Page story were an excuse. But a lot of people were embarrassed by it. Then a lot of progressive black Business Owners fled to chicAgo and California And Other Places and people were taken into internment camps. And i believe some of the people that stayed here feared it would happen again, so it wasnt talked about in the black community and it wasnt talked about in the white community. President biden will be visiting tulsa tomorrow. What do you want to hear from him . Well, i just think that this is sacred ground. This is a sacred moment. Im just hoping not just the president but people here in our city and our state, we come together to not just commemorate this moment, which is very important, but there are some other issues that need to be addressed to to make our community whole again. We lost a lot and so i think that the dialogue with the the state, and federal government needs to be significant, it needs to happen now, and i think that the fact that the president came here says that he, at the federal level acknowledges is. And i think we need to do that at every level and start not just healing, but the types of things that makes this community whole again.

Well a bipartisan commission looking into the January 6th riots has been officially blocked. Law enforcement is moving full steam ahead with their investigations. Another four members of a group known as the Oath Keepers have been indicted. Its now the biggest case of any of the groups with the total number of defendants charged up to 16. Scott, you have seen these new Court Filings and they lay out some of the preparations in the days leading up to the insurrection. Without equivocation it is growing larger. It is the epicenter of this investigation because the charges are most significant. Not just unlawful injury, but conspiracy. Theyre accused of coordinating and it is a lot of details. Were working through it. Not only are there four new defendants, but more granular details on the preparations that they used encrypted Signal Communications to talk ahead of January 6th. Theyre accused of the militaries stacked breach of the Police Lines and the doors that day, and they had a quick reaction force, a Qrf Staging and storing firearms at a hotel in Virginia For A Potential Armed Second Wave in Donald Trump invoked the insurrection act.
