george floyd! you have to be blind to not see the mistreatment of black people and how this is systemic. the light has been shown on it. everybody sees it now. i have never felt so sick to my stomach in my life. and when i look at that man, i see my dad, i see my little brother. when i first saw the video, i wept. i was in tears. we, the national football league, condemn racism! there is only so much people can take, especially black people. it's been going on for hundreds of years and people are tired and are ready for change. a friend asked me why i want to go to the protest because racism only occurs in the us, not england. and i had to explain to him that this is not the case and it is that white privilege that everybody is talking about that you don't necessarily notice it and it is upsetting that people are saying i have to look out for myself or have to protect myself for no reason other than the fact that i'm black. the fist is the fist. it resonates throughout the world. it means power, pr

you agree that, of course, the murd of george floyd was a lynching. you've also said that his murder and the demonstrations that have followed show that america is a failed social experiment. so could you respond to that and also the way that the state and police forces have rponded to the protests following george floyd's killing, with the national guard called out in so many cities and states across the country? prof. west: well, there's no doubt that this is america's moment of reckoning, but we want to make thconnection between the local and the global because, you see, when you sow the seeds of greed -- domestically, inequality. globally, imperial tentacles, 800 military units abroad, violence and africom in africa, supporting various regimes, dictatorial ones in asia and so forth -- there is a connection between the seeds that you sow of violence externally and internally. same is true in terms of the seed of hatred, of white supremacy, hating black people, anti-blackness hatred having its own dynamic within the context of a predatory capitalist

then richmond had its own protests after george floyd, breonna taylor, and others were killed by police last year. now you have the president vetoing a national defense bill because it renamed military bases honoring confederate generals, several of which are in your state. as mayor of a major city in the so-called new south, what's your take? as we are seeing those kind of racial politics fail, are we at least falter into the new south? >> what you're seeing from president trump and his administration is once again they are on the wrong side of history. there should not be a base in the united states of america named after a general or soldier from the confederate states of america. bottom line, i removed those monuments first because it was an emergency -- a public safety emergency. but also it was the right thing to do. 150 plus years ago the civil war ended, and those monuments were erected after the civil war. people want to know why those monuments were erected and why they to do on grand boulevards in the commonwealth of virginia is because they were there to put black and brown

journalist i've reported on too many deaths like george floyd's in 2008. i embarked on a series called black in america followed in 2014 by a documentary called black and blue about aggressive police practices and and its impact on african americans. keshawn harley has never ben in legal trouble, but he says police have stopped him more than 100 times. i first got something first when i was 13. they say i fit her description. that's i would say nine times out of ten the excuse they give me what's the description young black male? 18 to 25. i've been stabbed over a hundred times. it does all blur together at some point, but there are those extreme. this is where is kind of hard to forget kishin is a sophomore in college. he lives with his mother sophia. i'm just coming home from school and a cop slams me against the wall on behind my back those stuff out my bag. it's called me derogatory terms like and he doesn't even let me pull out my wallet to show him who i am. it's showing him i go to the school right here it messes with you psychologically it messes w

it there crushing of george floyd's neck. given that we can think of police as amplified whiteness or policing of the boundaries of whiteness and supremacy i always want to say don't relate to a police officer who would do that. but i'm not separate from this system. i have my own version of what white supremacy is free to so how do you see a similar ghastly satisfaction in white people who would be horrified at this and were horrified it with these on the tape partied what is the more mainstream everyday version of that look like . for from those well-meaning folks like me. michael: look. you have what whiteness acts like and how it behaves. my dear friend it doctor jennifer wiley former president of franklin high school. robin: i saw her . say hello. michael: overly . okay. it an extraordinary woman friday night had had any conversations about her conceptions of introspection of self critique. as you are . release self critique. in willingness to put that on the line to state of the vulnerability that i was speaking about.

floyd. protest leader jay gutierrez fears he'll be arrested many more times fighting white supremacy in america, especially now, as he sees it, the white has been emboldened. well, there's going to be, you know, chaos in some way. there's going to be uprisings from their end, there's going to continue to be uprisings from our end, of wanting to see change and wanting to see justice prevail. so, i just think that you're going to see that intensify. i don't think in any way, shape orform, biden winning, i don't see, you know, there to be peace from this point. others on the left say the issues of inequality and poverty are ones that will keep them fighting, too. eric and his militia mate tim wanted to show off their preparedness for the battles they're expecting. explosion.

george floyd's death. it loped a lot of pies, i am curious if you see the i am packa packages -- if it had a similar impact. i remember pointing out hearing after hearing since seven, the majority of the terrorist attacks in this country right wing extremist, from a church in south carolina or synagogue in pittsburgh. we are seeing whit e supr supremacists. >> the biggest threat of our country is white supremacists. we'll create america. this is a good day. >> senator booker, always appreciate it. >> i appreciate your commitment to this issue and outrage about what you saw on the floor today which from not wearing a mask to people still trying to push the big lie or trying to wash the stain of what happened in our capitol away without healing or addressing it. i appreciate you are focusing on this issue, there will be tough days ahead. >> this is what goes through my mind every night and priorities when i put this show together is not to be partisan but just to tell the truth. this is beyond partisanship t

the george floyd policing act can now be passed. because the majority in the united states senate will be democrats. you know, dad talked about his vision of living in a nation where his four little children would not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. and that his dream that freedom, justice and equality could come to fruition. while we as dad's children may have not totally seen that manifested, because of what has initially happened in terms of this election cycle, perhaps my daughter and his granddaughter and my mother's granddaughter will be able to see that dream come to fruition. because her generation is not going to accept some of the things we have seen and they are going to make this nation a better place for all good'-- for all god's children. so i am excited about what is potentially going to be embarked upon. yes, we have got to address the pandemic first and foremost. we have got to figure out how to get americans back to work. through an infrastructure plan. and we have got to

floyd protests, during black lives matter protests, when we saw lots of tear gas-fired, lots of pepper spray, pepper balls. so it has been a much lighter hand put on the protesters here this afternoon. as you know, as night falls, things can often turn. remains to be seen if that will happen now. the curfew is in effect. they cleared the western side of the capitol pushing the protesters away from capitol building that was invaded earlier today, erin? >> alex, thank you very much. many reporters in other places in the world, amazing to see the images here. sort of just dumb founding. manu raju is on capitol hill. manu, amidst this, they're now reporting saying they're going to resume that joint session, not putting it off until tomorrow, they're coming back which is important. 8:00 p.m. eastern time. so as this started, right, you had langford objecting and mitch mcconnell broke in, we're going in recess now, that's it. but a lot just happened. so what's going to happen tonight? are they going to continue with the same planned objections or could something dramatically change? >> repor

i'm hoping that as soon as president biden and vice president harris are in we could get the george floyd justice and policing act signs and we could get the john lewis voting rights bill signed. so i'm thinking in a hopeful way as well. >> i want to get to hope. but i want to let my friend and colleague jason johnson ask you a question but i have one more question about yesterday. do you believe that your republican counterparts told the rioters where to go? congresswoman? the congresswoman froze. i asked that question because donna he had wars had some real suspicions about familiarity about hard to get to rooms in the capitol. jason, your thoughts? >> yeah, well, yeah, look, i think it is obviously an inside job. nicolle, you know the white house and you know the capitol better. i've been in the russell building a couple of types. these places are labyrinths and these folks were walking through like they have an instruction booklet like the new world of warcraft. some people were in touch with right wing elements within the police or members of congress, that is not hard to figure out.

we need george floyd and not just executive action on policing. we need the john lewis voter protection act. that's law not just executive action. i think executive action is good but it's only as good as long as that president is sitting in the seat. he should use his bully pulpit and his ability to deliver messages direct to the democrats who now control not only the white house but has a tight control of the senate and the house to get these laws through and they must deal with the filibuster which was born in the archaic times it was used. we need to bring about laws that will protect the right and fairness for the american people. >> anna, we are just under a minute for president joe biden coming out. so, i apologize in advance if i need to interrupt you. but on that same subject, what is the appetite -- you know what, here he is. i'll save this question for just a moment. here is president joe biden. >> in my campaign for president i made it very clear that the moment it arrived as a nation where we faced deep racial inequiies and systemic r

we saw it in june of last year after the murder of george floyd in minneapolis when the black lives matter protests in washington, the national guard was out. there were layers of them up the steps of the lincoln memorial, protecting the memorials and the buildings of washington. yesterday, we saw a feeble attempt to stop trump supporters as they marched right into the capitol and i will point out, there were more than 50 arrests made yesterday and last night. most of them for breaking the 6:00 p.m. curfew in the city. admiral stavridis, you know, david ignatius makes the point about not getting the military involved. we understand that. people didn't want the military involved on june 1st when they cleared lafayette square so president trump could go through the tear gas and hold up a bible in front of the church. the next 13 days ahead of us, what does it look like from your vantage point because as i said at the top, president trump has vowed to continue to fight to make america great in his words. >> well, we are going to have a pack of troubles overseas as a result of this and we shou

in six states now banning police choke holds after the death of george floyd in police custody. laura ingle is live in new york following all of these developments for us as we head into this new year. happy new year, laura. >> happy new year to you also awesome and a lot went down last year as we all know and the biggest news of 2020 has helped to shape some of the biggest changes coming to us here in the new year and a lot of that does revolve around the death of george floyd and of course, the coronavirus pandemic. now as we take a look at what's about to happen here, george floyd who died at the hands of a minneapolis police officer while in custody in may sparked widespread protests and demonstrations around the world calling for police reform. we saw so much of that in states including california, delaware, iowa, new york, oregon, and utah all passing bands of police choke holds because of it. in georgia, to come new antibias now in effect. one imposing more penalties for hate crime while the other protects from bias motivated act of violence. new laws going into effect to

i am sure george floyd was disgusted. by the same token, i don't think no matter what you think about donald trump that he was happy watching anyone storm the capitol. i am not buying the hatred. there has been 4 years of hatred and division in this country. it is not all trump's fault. what lives inside of people has been given free rein to run rampant. people need to check themselves. they really do. laura, there is a favorite saying of mine in the bible in the book of romans that talks about eventually god will give you over to the sin that you want. i think americans need to wake up to our good old-fashioned values this country was founded on and force a return to god, a return to love. love your neighbor as you love yourself. that is not happening and that's not trump's fault. to hear biden/harris get up and pretend they are the party of unity and they were more divisive of what they accused trump of. i am terrified for us as a nation. >> laura: they poured kerosene on the fire today. with their comments. i am shocke

george floyd's death opened a lot of eyes, senatorm. i'm curious if you think the images of white supremacist and antisemitic people storming the capitol with the con federal flag in the hall of congress, if that had a similar impact? >> i think it does. i remember pointing out hearing after hearing in past congresses that since 9/11 the majority of the terrorist attacks in this country have been right wing extremists and white supremacists from a church in south carolina to a synagogue in pittsburgh, we are seeing the attacks grow in our country. to have one president who denies it is even a problem, who says there are good people in charlottesville, where someone was murdered, to now have a president that says wait a minute, the biggest threat of terrorism in our country is the scourge of white supremacy. we are going to prioritize it. we are going to put together a strategy to combat it and we are going to create a safer america as a result. this is a good, good day. >> senator cory booker, always a pleasure. thank you, sir. >> i app

at some point we are forced to witness for eight minutes and 46 seconds the death of george floyd. which for me was particularly traumatic because of how long it was it was almost like a steel like this weird mix of a still photo and long video. we were traumatized by it and taken to the streets and i wanted to be a part of that but i didn't want to get sick and i didn't want on the run the risk of not being able to see my father if they opened the nursing home. even though i know trump is a liar, i'm like god, let him be telling the truth about this one thing so i can see my father before i don't have a chance to see my father.i'm feeling guilty for not being on the street with these young folks. and feeling guilt about being in the house. at this moment i'm wrestling with the idea of do i risk of death in the street, do i increase the chances of death for all of us by staying in the house. for my putting at risk by my choices? at that moment i said, this is in so many ways representative of what it means to be black in this country, to be vulnerable. in what way will i risk death

president biden also mentioned the death of george floyd as a call to action. >> those 8 minutes and 46 seconds that took george floyd's life opened the eyes of millions of americans and millions of people all over the world. it was the nknee on the neck of justice and it wouldn't be forgotten. >> let's discuss with derrick johnson from the naacp. how important is it to hear words like that from the new president? >> reporter: well, it is critically important considering the prior four years and events that took place january 6. he is sensitive to recognize we are one nation, one community. doing so he is advancing a set of executive orders that really highlight the need for equitable reality for african americans and asian americans and other communities. we can't be the nation we are destined to be if we fall prey to tribalism we see emerge so aggressively in the last four years. >> let's talk about some of the specifics of what president biden did today. he directed the justice department not to renew contracts with private prisons across the country. how far do these executive or

and perhaps the world had ever seen. >> george floyd's story has been the story of black folks, because ever since 401 years ago, the reason we could never be who we wanted and dreamed of being is you kept your knee on our neck. >> reporter: soon after floyd's death, on memorial day, cities across the country began debating policy changes and limits to police power. there's a new call for deep structural reform of policing across the country. many are now demanding departments be defunded, dismantled or outright abolished. the names of other black people killed by police or white vigilantes added fuel to the fire. >> drawing international attention, ahmaud arbery who is african-american -- >> you can still see some of the bullet holes on the front of breonna taylor's appointment. her family and lawyers told me if anyone else had barged into her apartment and shot and killed her, they would have been charged. >> video of rayshard brook's deadly -- >> protesters amplified calls for justice monday, this time in kenosha, less than 24 hours after police shot jacob blake in the back, causing

floyd think that was passed la st george floyd think that was passed lastjune george floyd think that was passed last june and what was have been tamir rice's18—year—old birthday, he would've been a freshman in couege he would've been a freshman in college right now. he was a 12—year—old gunned down by police in a city park in cleveland, ohio. and so that legislation is the most progressive and transformative piece of legislation to hold police office rs of legislation to hold police officers accountable, to get good reporting, to aim to ensure that funding is being used in the correct way, and to ensure that people have equity when they're on the streets, so it happened in georgia this week, we have to be clear that the now senator elect rafael warnock and jon 0ssoff are not going to the senate and democrats control the cynically controlled the house and the presidency. the george floyd justice in policing should become law in some way in policing should become law in some way in 2021. a lot was watched around the world of what happened yesterday in america, but it's interest

george floyd's family came. and they asked me -- i greeted them, and they said, madam speaker, will you name the bill for our brother because his daughter needs to know. and i said, i will only name it for george floyd if you think it is worthy of his name. and they did. and we're proud of it. and we hope that it will go. george floyd, breonna taylor, say her name. we carry these people in our hearts. it's so heartbreaking. again, there are many police officers -- people in blue who do their jobs very well, but they have to recognize that the status quo cannot continue in this way. it's a double whammy. they're saying, look, look, millions of people turned out peacefully week-in and week-out around the country, around the world, and republicans ignored it, wouldn't pass the bill. little children were killed in kindergarten and first grade. republicans ignored it. kids in high school shot in their high school. republicans ignored it. pulse, las vegas, mother emanuel church. we just can't -- we can't, cannot ignor
