You said he couldnt breathe. Nobody cared. Nobody. People pleaded for him. They still didnt care. Justice has to be served. His life mattered. All our lives matter. Black lives matter. I just wish, wish i could get him back. Those officers, they get to live. Phil onis floyd there, tearful and understandably so. This is all coming as washington races to respond to the facingwide protests sparked by floyds death at the hands of police. Both democrats and republicans unveiled Police Reform proposals and i should mention there is some overlap. It is a rare sign that we could see a breakthrough on Police Reform legislation. By the way were speaking with Speaker Nancy Pelosi about all this in just a little bit. So stay tuned for that. All of this is happening while minneapolis is not wasting another minute. This morning the city police chief announced plans to make immediate changes to the police aimed at holding all officers accountable and did not mince words for regarding two now former rookie officers who were also involved in George Floyds death. I dont put policies out to say that you should only react or respond if youre a two year or a five year member or a tenyear member. And if policies or subculture get in the way, then i expect and i demand from humanity to rise above that. I did not see humanity that day for mr. Floyd. Meanwhile cnn has learned that the white house is weighing the possible of taking executive action on Police Reform, top aides will present the president with options today. All before he travels to dallas tomorrow which some aides see as a potential venue for the president to unveil new measures and this hour i will talk to Speaker Pelosi and Atlanta Mayor keisha lance bottoms. I want to start at the white house. All of this is unfolding. The president is taking to twitter. Saying hes against renaming some of the military bases named after confederate leaders. So lets go to cnn White House Correspondent kaitlan collins. What is the president saying. Reporter ill tell you what he said and how that is conflicted what his secretary said. He said as the briefing was delayed and they brought out this tweet in a handout and said in part that it is suggested that we should rename some of the military bases given who they are named after. The president said the monumental and very powerful bases have become a part of Great American heritage and a history of winning and he goes, therefore my visiadministrationl not consider the renaming of these magnificent and fabled military instillations and letter said, quote, respect our military. That is the president saying he is not open for the discussion that you heard the Army Secretary and the defense secretary confirm that they were open to having about renaming these bases and the questions about what they are named after and what they stand for. As youre seeing these protests happen across the nation in wake of George Floyds death and a larger conversation is happening nationally about Race Relations here in the United States. The president is directly contradicting them say, no, he is not open to that and that comes just after cnn reporting sh showed that they were open to it. This is notable because the president has taken this stance in the past and it is also notable the mixed message from the president and his defense secretary given how contentious their relationship was last week and people in the white house were questioning whether or not they would have an acting defense secretary because mark esper would leave his job whether through being resigned or being fired. Because he and the president had been on such uneven ground and he came out saying he didnt support the insurrection act and now this is happening where the president is saying no he is not open to renaming the military bases, brooke, even though pentagon leaders said they that were. Not even open, saying he wouldnt consider rename. Kaitlan collins from the white house. Thank you. With me now, activist and coauthor of the young adult book im not dying with you tonight kimberly jones. A pleasure to have you on. Thank you so much for joining me. Oh, thank you so much for having me. I got a lot to get to with you but first let me get your Quick Reaction to the president saying hes not even considering renaming some of the military bases named after confederate leaders. Your thoughts . I think that that is extremely unfortunate and that is one of the things that continues to show that america is not prepared for the atonement ma is necessary for atr atrocities that black americans have experienced in this country and i think those kinds of loud declarations of it is not even a thought of something that i would consider is extremely sad and unfortunate for the black americans in this country. We led the show with the tearful words from George Floyds brother up on capitol hill today and i want to play a little bit more from his brother and then well talk on the other side. Im tired. Im tired of pain. Pain you feel when you watch Something Like that. When you watch your big brother, who you looked up to for your whole life die, die begging for his mom. Im here to ask you to make it stop. Stop the pain. Stop us from being tired. George called for help and he was ignored. Please listen to the call im making to you now. Kimberly, those are powerful words coming from Philonise Floyd. How does that sit on your heart and what is your message for the floyd family . First of all, i just want to say that i send my condolences and my love and my best wishes to the floyd family. And the thing that i hope the most for the floyd family is justice. That they receive the proper justice in this situation. And i hope that it could be representative of what we should be doing moving forward in these cases. So lets get to you, kimberly. You and your message that has now been seen far and wide around the world this week. In case people have not seen it, here is a clip. You broke the contract with us for 400 years. We played your game and built your wealth and they are lucky that what black people are looking for is equality and not revenge. And i encourage people to watch the entire six or seven minutes and now lebron james is responding and he said im here for you kimberly. Youre getting Global Recognition and praise for a message that was very raw. And what you said took honesty, it took courage. Why do you think you said what you said and the way you said it, why did it so resonate with people . I think that i said it the way that i said it out of sheer exhaustion. We are exhausted with having these hashtags. Were exhausted with having this conversation. And i find it completely ridiculous that people cant wrap their head around the idea that you do not get to be judge, jury and executioner in the streets of american citizens. I dont care what the situation was, and what happened, people are due their day in court. People do not get murdered in the street for simple and petty crimes. But that is consistently what is happening here and i think it is utterly ridiculous. And i think there are a lot of people who have spoken out about it. But i think that people have continued to speak out about it in a way to make it palatable to the people who dont want to listen to the messages and theyve made up their mind and dug their heels in and i wasnt trying to speak to them to adjust their view, i was trying to compress the pain, the heartfelt pain of people in this country who walk out of their door every day, not knowing if they could possibly be murdered in a routine stop. And i think that people are tired of the old baitandswitch talk of saying that something means something when it really doesnt. And i think some people were ready to hear a message that was true and real and authentic in its feeling and i think that is why people are responding to it. And it landed and it landed in a massive way all around the world. I cant even imagine what your inbox must look like. My last question is this, from your perspective, what is the biggest hurdle black people see in Race Relations. Of all of the things where we as a society need to improve, police, education, health care, unconscience bias, what is the one thing that needs to change so we could see a lasting effect. There needs to be a strategic economic plan for the africanamerican community. If anyone watches the full length of the video theyll see my analogy of monopoly how weve been cut out of economic wealth in this country for nearly 500 years and plays a part in everything that happens and plays a part in the amount of money spent in our neighborhoods that contribute to the schools and education that we get. It is assists with mass incarceration that people are sitting in prison for up to a year just because they cant make a simple bond. It plays to the fact that people feel like they could get away with atrocities in the street because people dont have the financial power to fight against them. I feel like all of these things matter and someone has to pick up all of these batons. But for me personally we need to see a strategic economic plan that is going to allow black people to empower themselves in this country and in a way that they could fight against the atrocities were facing on a daily basis.

That is how one woman described her nearly fourhour wait to cast a ballot in georgias primary yesterday. She said that to the Atlanta Journal constitution and she wasnt alone. How long . Four hours, four and a half hours. Ill be here as long as it takes and i have to work today but they understand. At multiple polling sites including the Atlanta Metro area voters faced long lines from untrained workers and broken Voting Machines and now investigations have been launched as a result that key races are still unknown. Jon ossoff in the lead but could face a runoff in his bid against david purdue calling yesterday an embarrassment. With me now the mayor, keisha lance bottoms. A pleasure as always. Nice to talk to you. Let me throw out the cover of the ajc today and you see two words, complete meltdown. As a mayor, do you think it was a complete meltdown. That is accurate. And it was not just a complete meltdown on yesterday, we saw this with early voting even on friday. I have a neighbor who stood in line for almost eight hours, someone told me about their neighbor who was in line until 2 30 a. M. Attempting to vote. And it is absolutely ridiculous. Coming out of 2016 specifically when there were so many questions about the integrity of our election to be here again in 2020 under these circumstances really, its unacceptable. And brooke, i could tell you, i requested an absentee ballot that i never received. I had a cousin who called me today and has showed up to vote at his precinct yesterday and he was told that he had been purged. And he was told because hes a convicted felon, which hes not. So i think the layers of the Voter Suppression and the breakdown in our election system in georgia run very deep. And just to follow up quickly on your absentee ballot, did you get a reason why you never received it or it just never came, period. It never came in the mail. So i ended up going to vote last week, one day last week whether i didnt receive it. But it never came. Got you. So in an interview with the New York TimesBrad Raffensberger said this. The counties run their elections, he said the problems in Fulton County, atlanta, are the problems with the management team, not with me. So mayor bottoms, you basically have the secretary of state of georgia saying it is not his fault. Well, hes elected to oversee the elections so if Fulton County has a problem, if dekalb and cobb county has a problem, it is also his problem. We heard of long lines in neighboring counties as well and it begs the question if it is the responsibility simply of the counties to ensure that we have a fair and wellrun election than what is the point of having an elected secretary of state. Let me pivot to this. A couple of weeks ago when the protests turned violent in atlanta, you told people if they wanted to make change do it in the primary election yesterday and in november and i want to read a tweet from lebron james last night about georgia. This is what he said. Everyone talking about how do we fix this. They say go out and vote. What about asking if how we vote is also structurally racist . How would you respond to him and others who feel the same way . What i would say, brooke, is this is the reason we have to run the numbers so high that there is no room for error. Meaning that we have to turn out every Single Person who is eligible to vote in this country. To vote not just in georgia, but across the country. Because even as we sit here today, my understanding from the osoff campaign is there are around 260,000 absentee ballots that still need to be counted. And this could go on for quite sometime. Especially when youre looking at how close that race is and so many other races across our state. But i think it is going to be incumbent upon all of us who want change in this country to show up and vote. And also demand accountability from our elected officials like our secretary of state to ensure that we have properly run elections. And well be speaking to Speaker Pelosi to get her thoughts on this and any concerns she has ahead of november. But let me go back to the night of the first protests, keisha. You made National Headlines for speaking about being the mother of four black children, three of whom are sons, how you urged your teenage son not to be out because you couldnt protect him even though as you wrote in the New York Times opinion piece, the Police Report to you but you said this about your younger son who is 12. I just saw my 12yearold running around the house with a cap gun, a black cap gun. And i thought about tamir rice and i didnt know he had ordered it. And the talk again about condition play with cap guns. Children get killed for that. Mayor bottoms, playing with a toy gun is something that seems to innocent but as you mentioned in the wake of tamir rice, it caused you to fear for your own sons life and could you just tell me what was that conversation like and did he understand your concern . Actually, he didnt, brooke. He thought that he was in trouble because he had gone into my amazon account to order something that he didnt have permission to order. And that really concerned me even more. Because i didnt care about him going into the account. That was completely secondary. But i think, again, it speaks to the innocence of our children that we love and we want to preserve. But also in 2020, the need for our children to be so aware and conscientious of these dangers seen
