S. Officials. And in brazil, thousands take to the street as anger at their president boils over.

But we still have a ways to Go. Joining me now with more is andy slavitt, former biden White House senior adviser On Covid Response And Author of the new book preventable the inside story of how Leadership Failure s politics and selfishness doomed the u.

Media advocates on edge. And later the first joint interview with patrick jimjong. Learn about their plan to rejuvenate the New York times. Donald trumps allies resent hearing about the insurrection. They complain bitterly about the continued coverage. You can hear it in Tucker Carlsons voice. You can hear his resentment. But their and his attempts to deny reality, to come up with reasons for an inside job, the fbi made me do it, all that stuff, that is one of the reasons why the insurrection remains in the news. University of Illinois Professor Nicholas Grossman said it better than i could. He said repeating the news of January 6 is tedious, even exhausting. But the people lying about, downplaying, defending and apologizing for it appear inexhaust i believe. So the choices are keep repeating the truth, Shooting Down Lies and conspiracy theories, or conceding to them. Reporters giving up is not an option. Keep reporting, keep debunking the crazy stuff. But its sad how inevitable this a
Coronavirus outside is the first most obvious question and then more fundamentally, since when is the mayor of the city in charge of doling out americas freedoms . Are they guaranteed by the constitution that created this country . So wouldnt have been nice to hear those questions answered . Unfortunately at the time come up out of the country was so terrified people just obeyed. That was a big change and other politicians watched as it happened, they saw a nonenemy like Everett Garcetti, guy you wouldnt trust to clean your Pool Summa we assume unprecedented godlike new power simply by asserting them, cover your face. Okay, boss. Not a bad trip so naturally, other politicians wanted some of that and thats why theyre in the business for power so they did the very same thing Everett Garcetti did and once again, No One pushed back against them. In San Francisco, the authorities demanded that citizens wear masks while running outside. In the city of boston, extended that requirement to all

And its not part of our ethics or values. What does it mean for the defense . We will consider what we might expect to hear. I am Joshua Johnson with a Special Report on the Derek Chauvin Murder trial. Welcome to the week. Tomorrow we expect the prosecution to call its 36th witness. This week the state focused on two points, Chauvins Use of Force And George floyds medical distress. Lets begin with the Use Of Force. Multiple Law Enforcement officials took the stand to testify against Derek Chauvin and it included his former boss, the Minneapolis Police chief. Is it your belief, then, this particular form of restraint if thats what we can call it, it violates the Department Policy . It violates the policy. Once mr.
